Fun Fact: The Weapon's Ash of War also does Magic damage which means that its damage can be further boosted if you use Terra Magica, the Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, the Magic Scorpion Charm and Rogier's Armor Set which gives extra damage to Ashes of War that do Magic damage. P.S. 3:39 The Nomadic Merchant Set already exists. You can find it in that Parkour place with the graves in the Leyndell Sewers.

[@errorcode9542]

Yes but that one is white and the unique colors of each merchants are so cool

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Yeah, I kinda wish he did more research going into these builds. Thank you for your informative comment btw ❤

[@ACEYGAMES]

Either it doesnt d omuch magic damage or it ignores Renalla's resistance bceasue damn does it blast her.

[@RemingtonSteel]

​@@ACEYGAMESYeah. It does mostly physical and very little magic.

[@RemingtonSteel]

​@xXLunatikxXlul He does a plenty of research. If you watch his streams one can see that.. He decided to boost the damage that the Ash mostly does which is physical. Other gear boosts the damage much more. Strength Tear, Thorny Cracked Tear, Millicents pros. Stats into Strength and Arcane. Best way to build this

[@Idea_of_Lustre]

Fun fact about the Marais Executioner’s Sword, it has split Magic damage despite having no Intelligence scaling. Instead it has Arcane scaling that increases both the Magic and physical damage of the sword. Why? Who knows. Now the extra funny part. The Unique Skill scales with overall Attack Rating, and each tick of the spin is considered an individual attack. This means that anything that boosts successive attacks, Magic damage, and overall AR can boost Eochaid’s Dancing Blade. These include: Ritual Sword. Red-Feathered Branch. Magic Scorpion. Either Winged Sword Insignia. Millicent’s Prosthesis. Godfrey Icon. Either Jar Shard. Contagious Fury. Rallying Standard. Last Rites. Sacred Order. Shared Order. Golden Vow. War Cry. Barbaric Roar. Braggart’s Roar. Howl of Shabriri. Flame, Grant Me Strength. Both Exultations. All status helmets. Thorny Tear. Magic Tear. Rogier’s Spellblade Set. Uplifting Aromatics. Bloodboil Aromatics. And even Terra Magica. I might’ve missed some. Not particularly relevant to the video, since Elemer doesn’t use these, but that is still pretty insane. Especially when you consider that most of these can be stacked.

[@TheScottiec93]

I appreciate your grass-touching refresher take on Elden Ring's difficulty. Too many people get all purple-nurpled when talking about FromSoft difficulty.

[@tulokthebarbrarian2033]

Yeah, like this game is hard ya'll

[@benro6564]

People have to chill. Difficulty is not what makes the games memorable to me, and it sucks that people get scared away from even an easier from soft game like ds1. The community puts people off of it

[@Redonepunch]

@@benro6564 For me, the difficulty makes exploration better. You just soak everything in because you're super alert and deliberate in everything that you do. The community can be a turn off though, I agree

[@unironicallylikesranger7122]

Perfect opportunity to pitch an idea I just had: before the dlc drops I’d like to see a “slash or pass” list for the Legendary Armaments. We’ve already seen a slash on the godslayer in the Riku video, the ruins Greatsword on ganondorf, and the marais executioner sword both here and on Darth Vader, and a hard pass on the eclipse shotel. That just leaves the dark moon Greatsword, the golden order Greatsword, and the sword of night and flame (which got buffed again after it got super nerfed)

[@user-tt6mh5nn5u]

you can get Merchant armor where you get the finger print shield, but you need one of them to do the exploding eye thing next to an indestructible tents and destroy one to reveal the armor set

Hey Phil! Not sure where else post this. First I love your videos. Commentary for me is top notch. Music choices are always spot on. Entertainment value 12/10!!! Second... yes I am aware that is a lot for a number one. Third! What about a secret class called the Mimic. Would be a NG+ game where you use only the armor, skills and weapons of the boss your fighting( where applicable). Thoughts ? Fourth it's very possible you have done something much better or Similar to this, if so, please disregard Third. Thansk a ton for the great videos and content

[@hunterprice321]

Been waiting for this

[@arliss35]

Woo, with all the inspiration from this channel, I finally went back and beat Elden Ring. These runs are fun to watch, and show that yes, you can beat this game with weird funny builds. I did get all the way to the Farrum Azula with the starting sword you get as the prisoner then swapped to Darkmoon, because I'm just not good enough to beat Maliketh like that. It probably didn't help much that my sword was only +16.

[@benro6564]

I wish the Marais sword had a stance-based ash with the option to do their horizontal telekinetic slashes with R1, or the blender spinning move we have now mapped to R2. Would make the weapon more versatile and uses for more than boss one shots

[@randomizedworld7504]

The hit box on his telekinetic attacks are the red lights themselves, took me like 57 tries to beat him cause I assumed the hit box from his telekinetic attacks were contained in his sword.

[@jimthebottle6647]

In my experience with bell bearing hunters, small shields are better for parrying them. You can get them in a loop because there are only 4 attacks they can start with after getting up, 3 can be parried and one is the grab which you can jump

[@malorivandervaart5823]

the merchant set is already in the game, in the parkour pit with them all bait a merchant to use frenzy on the structures and the gear can be retrieved

[@goitwe8564]

This channel is what made me try weapons over spells for the first time and wow, it is so much better. Thank you for converting me 🙏

[@arielarnau3413]

I have wanted to recommend doing a Blasphemous build, and this is pretty close (from a fashion perspective). I salute you.

[@rinothy]

For anyone wanting to do this build (I just did one with the sword but not the full build) I recommend using vagabond. Or just a longsword, well just anything with square off tbh. Just stay as close as you can, he basically only does his close range paryable moves. Sheild smash, ans the grab which are all easy af to dodge, then just square off until he gets unalived

[@_sharkey_5679]

You can get the merchant set behind a small fort, when go down the hole to the three fingers; just the enemy to break it

[@_sharkey_5679]

[@crushcommando8637]

Im curious, obv the DLC is eventually coming out but have you ever considered doing modded content like convergence? If somehow you ever run out of ideas/want something fresh i think it could be a neat new take! I'm glad you've been consistently putting out superb elden ring content and with the DLC coming out I cant wait to jump back in!

[@gigabyte200]

The armor is pretty cool! I wonder if anyone’s done a run doing it? I wonder what their favorite fighting game is…

[@meddown6859]

I did an Arcane run and I mainly used this weapon... it's so good, oh my god. I also had Mogh's Salad Fork, that was a great weapon for anything that could bleed, and then for non-bleeders, I went to this sword. I agree that it''s stumpy as hell though. Regardless, nothing felt as good as drilling the Elden Beast, my god. Especially once you get the talisman from saving Mili at the very end, combined with the Godfrey Icon (didn't even know if it worked), the Alexander shard, and then you can have a talisman to boost your defenses, killer damage. It was my first run where I just went all in on Ashes of Wars. I found that often it was best to cancel the follow up attack by rolling out, because usually enemies would dodge out after they eat the entire drill to the face.

My first playthrough I spent an hour+ getting through Shaded Castle underleveled, only to bash my head against Elemer for 2-3 more hours. I wore the Briar armor the rest of that playthrough as a trophy, and now I regularly put a sign down in Shaded Castle to help other players with Elemer. He is beyond a doubt my favorite boss now, and I enjoy fighting him every chance I get.

[@halerbevins4899]

If you use the ruptured flask tear you can use the flask to jump onto the ledge that has the somber 7 without having to fight the godskin noble.

[@brianwallace2038]

If you dodge forward and to the right and kite around a tad, you can bait the Bell-Bearing Hunter's swing around shield slam. If you continue this dodge pattern, he'll just keep using that attack over and over.

[@zwhalen420]

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

The Bell-Bearing Hunters are scary enough that I have the next nearest grace to each endangered merchant favourited, go there, set time to noon, THEN warp to the merchant XD I did kill the BBH at the Church of Vows and by killed I mean "rode in to make him spawn, ran away, circled around, sneaked in from the side, parked behind him and used Poison Mist". The routine came by after the first Incident(TM) at Warmaster's Shack. I ran all the way to the Limgrave arena, where I got invaded by Henricus, so I ran away until he fucked off too (later I went back and introduced him to gravity). The Brave Sir Robin tactic works sometimes.

[@collins2509]

The best part about the DLC announcement, other than getting to play it myself, is that we'll have more content to watch from Tulok. Maybe some of the spells will even be... not garbage.

Sick vid. Algorithmical, dude.

[@talyaplays51]

Just so anyone knows there's a way to make this build even more OP use the crack tear that boost charge attacks that short actually deals magic damage to use the cracked tier that boosts magic attacks. Then add the rotten sword insgimia. Then add the tasmin that boost charge attacks. Then add Alexander's jar shark. Then if you do new game plus add Millicent's prostciese and that weapon will one shout almost every boss with golden vowe and flame Grant me strength. As buffs

[@coleyoung8232]
