very much agreed. This is exactly what i do when i do new playthroughs. from my experience the coolest combo is the claws with frost stomp. Max upgrade gives you 100 frost build up and 65 bleed build up. PER CLAW. If you have mimic tear, thats 4 claws attacking at once, extremely overpowered and CHUNKS any boss. Having frost on your weapon also allows you to attack all the stone creatures.

[@bruucunha]

18:10 - About horseback fighting: the twinblade and flails moveset on Torrent are SUPER fun. I always use Torrent + flail when fighting dragons for more stagger dmg; two full charged R2 from Nightrider Flail was enough to stance break Adula and I finished the fight without breaking a sweat. Never tried against Radhan or Fire Giant, though. It might work as well

Eleonara's Poleblade is how I beat Malenia the first time, when I didn't know her moveset or anything. I didn't get the idea from a guide, it was just the weapon I used for half the game. It works very well on any enemy that can be staggered easily, and less well against those that cannot (although the trade can still be good). Overall is was easy mode.

[@vincentzombi3916]

Yea once you get the talismans needed it becomes a powerhouse weapon! It kinda don’t work on the dlc though, they just don’t get staggered like almost at all

Alexander drops warrior jar shard. It increases damage from skills by 10%. Alexander GIVES Alexander's Shard when you finish his quest line. THAT increases it by 15%. So yeah the best charm in the Game is Alexander's shard, not Warrior Jar Shard, but you still have to kill him for it anyways :(

One fun thing you could do with the twinblade is put the stormcaller ash on it and cast the black flame infusion. This is like a knock-off early game version of the black flame tornado

[@riplix20]

What black flame ash would you use to infuse it? The black whetblade is found during Rannis quest, in the eternal city, so there’s no way you’re getting this “ early game “ unless early game means after Radahn, Ranalla and Loretta

[@humbletoxic]

@@riplix20 the black flame blade incantation is in Stormveil, in the basement behind the imp statue with the rats in the main yard. Pretty early if you ask me. How many hours do you have in ER? I bet under 500 Also try it, now that you know. You’ll like it :)

These 'specific weapon class only' runs inspired me to do a bunch of casual playthroughs with similar self imposed limitations and eleonora's poleblade has been my favorite weapon in the game ever since running twinblades only

[@KimJongPhil]

Its been my fav since i found out about it. That ash is SO CLEAN! Its not hyper busted so it doesnt get the rob/moonveil treatment but it also isnt weak so u can totally beat ng+ with it and full clear everything twice. Sadly tho, it does drop off after that to an unusable level but most ppl dont push ng+s like that

[@lazyorsleepy815]

Idea for a run: Homebody You can only use items that are, or have been, in the roundtable hold: except key items like quest items, wet blades or crystal tears and materials for crafting items, but the recipes have to be acquired from the hold. The difficulty comes from limited selection on items, ashes of war, talismans, buffs. Weapon upgrades are mostly limited to their bell bearings and an optional challenge is also not picking up outside golden seeds or sacred tears but i chose not to do that. I really enjoy your videos and i just thought id post this on the chance you'd see this. Cheers

[@lazyorsleepy815]

Also includes only soft runes and no hard rune pick ups but that might make it unenjoyable so idk its up to you.

[@spongbobsquarepants3922]

Sounds painful. The weapon you start with is cipher path, which you cannot wield properly. So then you have to farm runes to use it by killing the ball over and over again.

[@lazyorsleepy815]

Since you can pick up key items including stone sword keys you can get the crossbow and rot arrows from hold to kill a boss then you have your pick of weapons from the twin maidens and you have incants as well so it's really not bad, the main thing is just resisting the urge to pick up items and not being able to use nearly all talismans and most optimal buffs and ashes

[@edvinwikman1523]

[@Haydz_Benz]

I used Eleanoras poleblade and a godskin sticther with seppukku and caused mojo to not have a second phase the damage ramped up so much. It’s fun to do once or twice, but I agree that trivializing the game every play through would get unfun.

Watching to see his take on the build. I did this last year with twin blades but I ran the blood one and the godskin peeler. Was great for a while. Absolutely fell off a cliff it felt later. Greatswords, hammers, and maces just feel much more consistent to me.

[@jakestavinsky3480]

Comment about Warcry r2s- it increases the poise damage multiplier to +300% when most charged r2s are like 180% . You can get insanely fast staggers on bosses by just spamming it Edit: also it has HUGE status effect multiplier

Regarding the question at the end: I assume a good curved sword r2 build can be made with the wing of astel. The projectiles add significant damage and poise damage and it has 2hit charged r2s for the multihit talismans.

[@jarlsterra]

After the bloodboon ritual nerf, Eleanoras Poleblade is the go to ez mode for Malenia in my opinion. I did my first ever arcane playthrough and had vaulted the poleblade for a more fun venomous fang build whilst in Leyndell, but decided to bring it out for Malenia and was blown away by how easy it made the fight.

Beastman's Curved Swords are also great and have the 4 hit jump attacks when powerstancing. The running attacks are good and a combination of multi-hit talismans (Milicent's Prosthesis, Rotten Winged Sword) and the Godskin Swaddling Cloth means that an aggressive playstyle is rewarded with constant health regen and increased DPS. I believe the stamina consumption is lower than twinblades, as well. That is the build I used to co-op the Fire Giant and Radagon/Elden Beast for a long time.

[@spongbobsquarepants3922]

Godskin swaddling cloth does not do enough. I recommend instead Claw, millicent prosthesis, Winged sword, Ritual sword or lord of blood for jump attack builds.

[@azure-hawk]

@@spongbobsquarepants3922 Godskin Swaddling Cloth is for the constant regen while being aggressive. I can see how the way I worded that was confusing. Will edit.

[@spongbobsquarepants3922]

@@azure-hawk What I really mean is that the effect is not strong enough. Per proc you get less than 100 hp back, and it does not improve damage at all. There is also that it comes in kind of late. I just do not see thus Talisman competing with other options. You can just heal with flask instead, or dodge attacks, so basically swaddling clothes becomes worse as the player gets better.

[@azure-hawk]

@@spongbobsquarepants3922 I understand that it does not increase the damage, but when you are hitting 4 times per running or jump attack, it procs quite often. It is useful for long fights, especially as a summon (i.e., Radagon and Elden Beast), though I agree it is not as useful because it requires you to beat at least 2 great rune bosses, DTS, Morgott, and the worse version of the Godskin Duo because summons are immune to sleep

10:34 "The talisman only affects physical scaling damage. The physical base damage and other non-physical damage types will remain the same. Purely non-physical weapons like Cipher Pata and Coded Sword will therefore gain no benefit from this talisman. The damage bonus increases in inverse proportion to the weight of your equipment (the lower your total equipment load, the greater the damage bonus). The damage bonus has soft caps at 8(1.135x), 16(1.09x) and 20(1.0375x) equip weight. Once equip weight is 30 or higher the talisman has no effect. The maximum physical attack power multiplier is 1.15x, however this is unobtainable due to the weight of the talisman, the maximum obtainable multiplier is 1.1483125x Lighter weapons receive higher percent damage bonus than heavier weapons due to them being lower weight. The damage scaling shown on your equipment screen while wearing the talisman for unequipped weapons is not accurate until you actually equip the weapon. Increases Bow Damage. Affects Sorceries and Incantations that deal physical damage. Due to this talisman not being based on equip load %, only flat amount, the boost from this talisman is not increased by the Winged Crystal Tear.
