@@el_buro What do you mean? The only two attacks I can think of that they do that meets the "don't dodge towards" catagory would be Niall's frost AoE and Noble's flame circle, but aside from those two attacks and a couple others, you should be dodging towards an enemy's attack to minimize the amount of time you spend interacting with a hitbox. For example, if an attack is coming from your left and you dodge to the left, it's a lot more lenient on timing because you need fewer s to dodge that attack. There's always exceptions to every rule, I mean even Bloodborne had attacks you shouldn't dodge towards; BSB's poison AoE, and most AoE's in general are just easier to dodge by getting away from the attack.

[@MaximillionPegasusJ.Crawford]

I completed the game with the halo scythe. Just get the right faith boosting items / tears / talismans and a nice summon like black knife tiche and your good to go from a distance ez

[@Doomseer]

Honestly you should only use the halo scythe if you're doing a golden order paladin type build who shoots out rings of light incantations like a machine gun. Furthermore there are a lot of golden order boosting items such as golden order seal, Gold mask's mask, holy cracked tear, golden vow, fire give me strength, both incantation boosting talismans and of course Godfrey's icon/Alexander's shard. Lastly use the scepter of the all knowing to further increase holy damage by marking enemies with a debuff that decreases their holy damage resistance. Yes it's a lot of work and I mean alot of work to make the build viable but if you're going for Goldmask's ending then you have to match his brilliance or you're just a poser pfft..

[@asdergold1]

Been buffed now since the weapon does have an actual hitbox during the ash. But now for things Holy is actually useful for. Using most ashes, especially Spinning Weapon and Phantom Slash on an Order's Bladed weapon along with Last Rites against any undead is overkill. So much damage. Last Rites got buffed to 100% and those two stack. I've done 18K once with Phantom Slash. Honestly no idea how, I didn't even do the follow-up!

[@waker_link]

I mean, you only need to kill: Draconic Sentinel, Piss Godfrey, Morgott, Fire Giant, Wario & Waluigi, Maliketh, Gideon, Godfrey, and then Radagon with Elden Beast. That's 10 if you count Radagon and Elden Beast as separate

The draconic tree sentinels horse breathes fire but has gold armour. This is because gold has a high melting point and would be a sensible choice. A nice detail.

[@Mr.Pixelated]

This is why I love elden ring, the little details like a death birds wings, or how certain enemies react to eachother

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

Gold, a sensible choice for fire proof armour? What are you talking about!? First of all, Gold does not have a high melting point. It's only 1,064 C. Iron, the metal that most armour uses, has a much higher melting point of 1,538 C. Melting point isn't the only factor for heat resistance either. The wearer's resistance to fire would also be heavily dependent on specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Specific heat capacity is the capacity of a material to absorb heat. The higher the specific heat capacity, the more energy required to heat up a material to a certain temperature. Thermal conductivity is the capacity of a material to transfer heat. The higher the thermal conductivity, the faster the transference of heat from one side of a material to the other. So how does Gold actually fair in this respect? Gold has a specific heat capacity of 0.126 J/g C and a thermal conductivity of 310 W/m C. Iron has a higher specific heat capacity of 0.450 J/g C, and a lower thermal conductivity of 73 W/m C. So with this in mind, gold is an awful choice for fire resistance. You will cook up much faster inside a suit of gold armour than you would in a suit of iron armour. This isn't nice attention to detail on Elden Ring's part. Most likely, the developers chose gold, because that represents the Golden Order that all these knights serve under. I'm not even sure if the armour is actually made from gold. It's described as golden, but that's probably just referring to the colour. Most likely it is made from a gilded dragonbone or gravelstone, much like the weapons they use.

I have an idea for a challenge run, idk if it'd be too difficult but maybe an Inventory Lock run. So the main part is that once you equip an item you have to keep it in that inventory slot for the whole game. Equip a weapon in early game it stays there forever, put throwing knives in your quick items they stay there even if you run out. Allow for the starting items to be removed at the beginning so you can hunt down better armor sets later

Why does this game hate holy damage?

[@budiisnadi]

"This guy have no manners". That's also how I would describe Astel, the space bastard.

[@eddiem5175]

Has anyone tried a low% run yet? The game doesn't really track that much, so it'd be an honor system thing mostly. Collecting few (or no?) weapons and spells beyond starting gear, beating as few bosses as possible (like skipping Draconic Tree Sentinel). The details would need some hammering out, but something along the lines of: "I tried beating Elden Ring doing as little as possible (low%)"

[@MajkelKerman]

I remember seeing no inventory challange which sounds kinda similar. Although they collected upgrades for weapons, as you can use them without opening inventory.

This just shows how sad holy damage is treated in this game for lore reason alone instead of balance.

[@nathanjora7627]

Nothing wrong with treating holy damage a certain way for lore reason, what’s sad is that it’s not treated that way more frequently. For example preventing all undead resurrection, or for example radahn being more flame and magic resistant than holy resistant (or equally resistant to all), dragons don’t need to be holy resistant at all, neither do most mobs, so all in all there should be plenty of uses for holy even if many bosses are resistant to it. What bugs me is more the lack of practical holy spells, they are almost all GO fundamentalism and those suck really hard in terms of moveset and damage, especially given their requirements.

Hey bushy great video as always wanted to suggest a challenge idea with something like only using what you can get in the first 10 mins maybe more time maybe less I don’t know what would be a good amount.

[@CinemaJacket]

I replayed Eldenring recently and I had the Cipher Patas as my primary weapon. It was so much fun to use I didn't care about how many bosses resisted it. Eventually I did a re-spec into a Bolt of Gransax Lightning Warrior build. Most fun I've had in the game in a long time.

[@travelerofabyssrium14]

Although the idea of defeating remembrance bosses with the most absorbtion element did poped up in my head once or twice, I often thought to myself: “I am not that Masochist and also who would enjoy or make everyone enjoy such a playstyle ?” I was wrong. On both. I enjoy this man gameplay…a lot. Even with this playstyle. Also I am very concern about the fact that I am becoming more and more masochist.

Seeing those two strong against lightning but that spell still hitting hard, I actually now know a way to fight them on my lightning dragoon. :)

[@xenasaur520]

idk if that was a typo or a pun but a lightning dragoon sounds like an awesome challenge run

[@vixey6339]

@@xenasaur520 actually a dragoon is an actual thing. Its a spear-wielding class I recall from Final Fantasy. But it's also of historical significance. A member of any of several cavalry regiments in the British army. Been studying history so I'm learning new things everyday. But. The original idea behind the build was derived from my knowledge of FF's dragoon class, which wields powerful spears. I'm adding in the lightning spell use cause several strong spears in the game have Faith scaling. Like the one you get from a cart in the Lake area, to the right of where you exit the back of Godrick's castle behind a troll

[@somejabroni51]

@@vixey6339 a dragoon's role varies from game to game but typically its spear wielding knight + dragons in some way, depending on the game. Some Dragoons have little dragon buddies, some Dragoons are dragon slayers and gain their power from dragons, some end up being both (like in 14), but they're all spear guy + dragon. Anyway, cool build!

Mans over here doing a challenge run making placidussax look like a joke and im over here struggling while playing the game normally

[@darienb1127]

This whole video shows one of my biggest issues with Elden Ring. Enemies have different damage weaknesses and resistances like other RPGs, but it's hard to really take advantage of it due to how damage types are spread out. Certain builds and stats favor certain damage types, which means the wrong build can just make a fight unnecessarily harder. Yes, you can respec and swap weapons, but doing that takes a lot of time and consumes limited resources.

[@studiogimli7645]

yeah, the elemental damage or status effect experience in souls is always so jank, physical builds on resistant enemies still do a lot of damage but faith or int elemental damage will get roadblocked. madness is usable in pve but it has a single weapon and like 2 decent spells lol

I could be sleeping, but I think I'll watch this first. I think I made the correct decision Edit: why is holy so damn worthless, I worked hard for that Tree Sentinals weapon damn it

[@nebulouscat2210]

Sacred scorpion charm, flocks canvas talisman, radagon icon and dragoncrest shield, with triple rings of light, wrath of gold, sacred blade on a clayman spear, or other weapon with good fth scaling, Miquellan knights sword, orders blade there are a ton of unique weapons that naturally do holy damage. A prime example is black blade, golden order greatsword, and for dex option black knife and ornate swords.. I also feel that sacred blade also works well with sacrificial axe. Golden land is good. Holy has alot of powerful attacking options if you have decent faith. A problem though is all the enemies that have holy resistance.

[@nebulouscat2210]

The thing with elemental weapons is that they are alot more complex than physical ones. Enemy resistance plays a huge role in the damage you do as well as your attribute scaling. If you use a holy weapon with no faith for example, you will lack. Same goes if you are using a hybrid weapon and only fth but no str or dex. Elemental weapons are powerful but demand more investment for not only stats but also information as you have to know the best things to use them against. Holy is in fact the attribute that replaced the dark attribute from dark souls which, despite people thinking it sucks. Is always VERY strong in each game and its own fully developed elemental type. Same goes for holy. :)
