Ansbach may be a major player in Elden Ring's DLC, but can he be played in a major way? How good are his Scythe and Incantation anyway?

I love the idea that Ansbach knows everyone in Elden Ring personally and it really is a pleasure for him to visit everyone of them

[@TSfish94]

He’s happy to see them but has to remind them he won’t tolerate fraud and theft. He’s the friend we all need: one that’ll gas you up but keep you honest

[@mallblartpaulcop1226]

Tulock & Mango. A pleasure to see you after all this time. But that Fort Haight doesn't belong to you. We will have our victory royale.

[@JackisaMimic]

Your running Ansbach was so perfect for the Mimic Tear Fight "Its a pleasure to see me." There was a cut questline with a mimic tear who attempts to replace the player character and their name was "Asimi" A See Me, that is so clever!

[@gravity_TM]

Now I wish the questline was kept in the game, same with Kalé's merchant questline.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Same with the st trina cut questline from base game: albeit we see it somewhat reused in the DLC

[@bobvagana5443]

I hope that for the Igon run, you'll edit into every boss fight: "CUUUUURSE YOOOOOU (deadpan Phil voice) Mᴀʀɢɪᴛᴛ."

[@darthplagueis13]

Phil: "Other builds don't struggle as much with the Putrescent Knight because they have a ranged option" Also Phil: *Is literally carrying the single strongest bow, quite possibly the strongest ranged weapon in the entire game (in fact, possibly even of the entire soulsborne series) on his back and not using it because he thinks it's only good for status*

[@PoyoDesuka]

For the inevitable Igon Run, if you do the Monolouge at all, you better commit to the bit like you did our boy Ansbach.

[@relariis_the_paradox]

My favorite part of this run was that Ansbach must canonically be such an old and storied person that he is on familiar terms with every single boss in the game to be able to say the line every time

[@theatlascomplex2052]

The "For-Harris Lands" bit is always on point.

[@a.ah.689]

I recently did a bow only challenge run and Ansbach bow was the star, naturally. You can craft bleed arrows if you kill the imprisoned merchant for infinite blood roses and the bone bearing bell hunter. Make no mistake, its a brutal challenge, but beating PCR with a bow only was one of the hardest things ive ever done in a video game and very satisfying. Also, while normally NPC fights are nearly impossible with a standard bow, a greatbow like Golems or Radahn makes them piss easy. Funnily enough, greatbows get stupid strong with minimal set up. 2 arrow talismans + the free aim talisman, a golden greatarrow aura buff, and the Through and Through AOW with alexander shard will 3 shot the divine lion guards in Imir illem with a 40/40 STR/SKL setup.

[@yuros92]

I'm doing a bow run now, just got to PCR (playing on the 1st version of the dlc, no nerfs). Did the exact same thing to get bleed arrows. Poor merchant had no business being behind a sanguine noble.

[@mag1cxg1rl]

I enjoyed every Ansbach pre-asskicking An-liner (great commitment to the bit), but Fia’s champs did get an audible chuckle out of me.

[@mktzombey]

Hands down my favorite gaming channel right now. You're videos honestly just really funny

[@ddt9292]

I thoroughly enjoyed the bit, and truly cannot wait for the Igon run and bit that goes along with it. It will be glorious, I can already feel it.

[@DanteYewToob]

I can’t wait for the Igon run when you have to scream variations of “Cuuuuurrrrse yoooouu Baaaayyyylee!” Every five seconds… lol good luck!

The intro bit was fun Tulock, and the weapon feels like it could be really interesting to use. I'm playing through SOTE in NG+ for the first time, and it's been going swimmingly, using a Holly based build, with Marika's Hammer, and lightning incantations.

[@reylann2965]

Calling it now, somehow the "what's better than two ansbacks- 3" will culminate in Tulock, Mimic, and OG Ansbach doing the thing. Edit; Oh yeah...

[@tanejbhande9949]

Okay I’ve watched a ton of these videos and keep coming back for more ,but I just don’t get this boggart hate. Does he just do it for the engagement? so people would comment? If so it got me to comment so great. But if you hate him so much he dies a worse death later(but I honestly don’t think boggart is that bad to go out of your way and make a point by killing him)

[@korosheht5446]

Im so happy that he kept the "A a pleasure to see you after all this time , but B dosent belong to you , C will have his D " up the whole way Also three ansbachs against radahn is the most majestic battle ever

I would agree with the Godskin Duo take. It was a really fun boss when I did it Coop with a friend.

I can't wait to finish my radahn run. Going to abuse Rennelas cameo with the nagigata as sephiroth. 60 percent o us damage with Alexander's jar shard unless it doesn't stack. Plus the new grave bird armor makes it look like his one wing angel

[@eldenbeast8901]

I swear to god I wanted to watch this video and see how the scythe did against the dlc but listening to that bit was like getting punched in the face till it went numb. Wasn't as bad after the 12th time as the 4th but I'm still getting punched in the face and why on God's green earth did you feel the need to do it 3 times for the npc champions dude????

[@Technodreamer]

Yeah, no, scythes are apparently SURPRISINGLY busted in this game.

[@unironicallylikesranger7122]

I propose the use of the magma wyrm curved sword for the Igon run, he’s the dragon communion guy and that’s the sword dragon communioners get free with their wretched imitation of draconic might and tainted souls. I feel like Igon has eaten a few more hearts than the average fellow.

[@malachigamingandtalk9970]

The fias champs bit was by far the funniest

[@austinpeterson4898]

I was using the obsidian lamina against my friend last night for some one on one coliseum pvp and I found it a little bit awkward, especially the ash of war. His armor made me really squishy and I couldn’t figure out a great way to use the ash of war. Haven’t tried it much in PvE so not sure how I would like it there.

[@tylerharper5306]

The bit is funny every time anytime

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Second comment because for some reason the Count Von Count cutaway tickled my funny bone

[@icetide9411]

As a spell enjoyer, you were entirely right about Furious Blade being a bad spell. It has very little going for it, even just being compared to other bleed spells. Want a melee spell? Just use the bloodflame talons. That's not even that good of a spell but it's still better in most ways than Furious Blade. Bloodboon actually has range, so does Swarm of Flies, and Bloodflame Blade is one of the best weapon buffs in the game which turns your weapon into a better Furious Blade.

[@EvalithFoG]

I agree it isnt that great but tbf he wasn't using Dragon Communion Seal which has much better scaling if you're an Arcane or Arcane/Faith build. Furious Blade has good distance in the charge up, good blood build up and it can be buffed by Godfrey's Icon. Add Flame Shrouded Cracked Tear and you've actually got pretty solid damage. The giant near Godrick's arena is bled out with one fully charged Furious Blade whereas you need 4 Bloodflame Talons to get the bleed. Uncharged it does around 100 more damage than Talon and charged it does around 700 more damage, and of course unlike Blood Talon you don't need to be hugging them to hit them. Also Furious Blade triggers consecutive hits Talismans but I don't bother myself.

[@Sam_Luvhardt]

I don't know why, but that Fan Shot joke really made me laugh

[@Jev55]

The grave scythe is one of the best sleeper weapons in the game. Set to a strength scaling and using bloodflame blade it hits like an actual truck and is faster than a great sword. Also the Ansbach bow is like one of the best weapons in the game as well. You could have killed the Putrescent Knight with it pretty easily actually.
