Elden Ring - Crystalian Mage vs Malenia (Crystal Socrceries Build)

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Hope you've all been enjoying the bombardment of videos lately! Coming up soon. The Erdtree Paladin Long-Form video. And Godwyn the Golden! One of the most cinematic and beautiful fights I have done against Malenia!

[@seacowDUGONG]

Wow just wow.... possibly the most impressive video I have seen of anyone beating Maleina. Intelligence builds are something I personally have never tried and they are cliched as easy mode but this is very skilled. Glad you showcased lesser used and less notorious sorceries. Amazing cast time and variability on the same spell. You really optimised your gameplay ot the max! Bravo!

[@hanselthecaretaker]

I watched the perfect build video about versatility and agree, but still it would be awesome to take something like this into the realm of shadows.

[@SaxSlaveGael]

I absolutely agree that there is something truely special about lore friendly and class/themed builds. They certainly make situations more challenging. But makes that experience so much more real.

​@@SaxSlaveGaelI'll give you an extra tip as well being that magic downpour is also technically actually a crystallian spell that they had taught to the carians as a show of diplomacy and friendship with technically also to some degree for the carion sorceries, they also are an offshoot of the crystallians Magic especially when you see the Spells be cast and see the crystals form into the blades you use as well as with Loretta's Magic where you can see even better the crystals form into the giant great bow you use

[@C_A_I_N_N]

​@@SaxSlaveGaelwhen you add in all those spell options as well as if you ask me, the choice to use the Crystal Sword and spear end having your right hand and extra Crystal staff so that way you can either have more damage from Dual staffs or have in your off hand, you could have something like the jellyfish great shield for a big damage boost. 😉👍

[@sobky6378]

Thank you for all of the amazing videos recently, do you plan on doing builds from other games like god of war?

[@SaxSlaveGael]

I did a God of War build a while back. I am certainly open to some.

[@crymstall916]

Can you make seath the scaleless build?

[@mr.motivation3797]

Dude excellent 👏👏👏

[@sfullbright1179]

Extremely strong ver of this Magic scorp Godfrey icon Rotten wing sword And radagon icon or blue dancer if you have the endurance

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Rotten wing can inly be triggered by physical attacks or carina slicer. It wouldn't be useful on this build

[@Sad-Papaya]

I wish more caster builds played like this. Most just tera azure and try to kill the boss before they even get near you.

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Yeah they wouldn't get as much shit from people if they actually did that lol.

[@surajpatil8670]

You make it look so easy

[@annoyingdog6163]

I cant wait for Goldwyn the golden. I might try a hollow knight build next

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Been looking into doing Hollow Knight stuff! Really want to do a Pure Vessel sometime!

[@yyakobuu]

you should try to make an all albinauric build

[@SaxSlaveGael]

So keen for a long form video with that!

[@yyakobuu]

@@SaxSlaveGael can’t wait for it!!

[@Lu4ronusWorship]

Have you tested the dmg with two crystal staves?

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Didn't even think of that! Would have been even better! I am so bad at optimization lol.

[@Lu4ronusWorship]

@@SaxSlaveGael yesss... try it ;-)

[@itsoktoberight4431]

@@SaxSlaveGael wouldnt lusats or carian regal scepter in main hand and crystal staff in offhand be better? you still get bonus in offhand

[@Munnwort]

@@itsoktoberight4431 it would be but you’re not taking two things into account. FP consumption, & flair 😎

[@YungSnowGod]

How about double sleep grease powerstance fast weapons vs bosses weak to sleep and constantly make them sleep haah

[@TheCeekon]

dont need to level vigor if you never get hit

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Damn right.

[@Something2ShowYou]

why didn't you offhand another rotten crystal staff?

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Didn't match the outfit lol

[@Attackplaya]

this made me want to play as a mage lol

[@Munnwort]

playing as a mage is super fun when you actually try to make cool builds, it’s just that most dweebs just use stock spells & make it look boring

[@mekmekoo1269]

You're obviously very good at the game but not even you can make this build look good. Really long wind ups, high fp cost... All for very bad damage and only one stance break. I can't think of any other sorcery type that would do worse.

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Lmao, you're not wrong, it's pretty poor when it comes to damage. And the timings aren't great. The crystal shot isn't half bad though as a spell. Everything else, very average.

[@mobius1965]

Thorn sorceries. 😂

[@mekmekoo1269]

@@mobius1965 They're not as bad as people think. I would never use them, but in my opinion they would probably perform better than this.

[@Fredrick_6]

gahddayum crystal torrent is bad

[@SaxSlaveGael]

Sure is. These crystal spells look alright, but aren't great. Except the crystal shotgun

[@blondsucre8179]

​@@SaxSlaveGaelno man crystal release does so much damage you just need a bit of hp to tank at least one attack

[@portalmanHUN]

Crystal Torrent took half of Malenia's HP before she could even move, what the fuck are you talking about?
