[@gnperdue]

I think a pure incantation build is harder than pure sorcery because the spells all come out slower. But this is very cool to see all the work experimenting on which spells have just right timing against different enemies!

[@ThingfishyGaming]

Yeah it’s an interesting one. Carian Slicer is definitely the most busted weapon in the whole game, but because it’s melee, you still need to be on top of the boss’ movesets. Where as you can kill absolutely anything relatively easily by kiting it around with black flame and never getting near it. I keep thinking about what the game would look like if Black Flame was as spammable as glintstone pebble. Boss health bars would look like mine when I fight Maliketh! Thanks for watching, as always, GNP!

[@r3dn3ck3r3]

tl;dr - I disagree, Incantation only is way easier Tried both Incantation and sorcery run only - All i can say, that Incantation is way easier. While sorcerers can get Carian Slicer and Rock Sling quickly, Incant users can get Ligthning Spear within 30 minutes from starting the game. Lightning Spear is an S tier spell on its own, useful against nearly any boss in the game (excluding maybe 2, not Malenia :) ). Not to mention Black Flame related incantations or Dragon Communion Incantation (you dont need to level up ARC, since Silver Tear Mask gives a boost to ARC at a level, that allows to cast DC incantations), which allows to get some nasty Status Effects.

[@gnperdue]

@@r3dn3ck3r3 I agree Lightning Spear is amazing, but most Incantations come out soooo slow. And there is no equivalent of Night Sorceries - enemies dodge Incants like mad. FWIW I think sorceries fall off pretty badly once you get to NG++ while Incantations remain really important - Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength are must haves. But in NG, in my personal experience, sorceries were easy because the spells come out so fast and some can't be dodged.

[@Lucy2Juicy]

By a slight degree. Flame resistant enemies are the biggest obstacle O had since the hand flame is the "back up from me" damage equivalent to Carian Slicer. The rest allows a elemental choice larger than sorceress. Not to mention healing load is lifted better from red flasks

[@gnperdue]

@@Lucy2Juicy In my Incantation builds I flip back and forth between Lightning and Fire for base damage (with Rot via dragon spells a key part of things when applicable). Very little in the game is lightning resistant, and since the lightning spells come out the fastest, it is a good default bet. Still feels harder to me than sorceries - harder in terms of damage I take and deaths I suffer. Not saying Incantations are bad, just saying in NG and probably NG+, sorcery builds are much easier for me.

[@jubbs9981]

Just finished this build as my first play through of Elden Ring. Had a ton of fun and felt like the guide was super easy to follow. Thanks a lot man, keep it up

[@arellajardin8188]

Very nice, and informative. The biggest hurdle of any new playthrough is making a checklist of things to grab (and things to skip). I’m going to use this on my next run, I’ve neglected Incantations so far. If you’re taking suggestions, a guide to a Beast Build would be interesting. A Str/Fth build designed to get the most out of Beast spells. I’m considering such a run eventually, going naked with Clawmark and Cinqueda, Blue Dancer, and whatever else. The weapon sucks besides the spell buff, but there are a lot of Str/Fth weapons that can replace it later. Honestly, the hardest part of this build is getting as many Deathroots as soon as possible. 5 are easy, but the 6th one would be challenging for a low level.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it, Arella! Yes, definitely planning a str/fth beast build in the future! Thanks for watching.

[@Safetyman99]

One weapon I like to use for a faith build is the Envoy's Long Horn... mainly for dragons, wyrms, and death birds. Not only do the bubbles delete them, but the horn itself does a ton of damage since it's a great hammer. You'll need 23 strength but that shouldn't be a problem. Also works well for that annoying Astel boss and the Ulcerated Tree Spirits. You can absolutely dismantle Plasidusax with it if you get right next to him.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

Oh there will definitely be a bubble build! I haven’t tried it yet so a bubble build was on the cards before any of the normals ones 😂. Thanks for watching!

[@tomkrawec]

And, indeed, many people in the real world.

[@outofmytr3317]

Yes. I struggled with black flame partly because my torrent control is dodgy (or more correctly my torrent dodging isn't dodgy enough). Phase 1 fire giant became sprint up on foot, roll his first attacks and spam Pest threads on the ankle. Use torrent to close the gap when giant rolls away then more Pest thread spam on foot until phase 2. Phase 2 was remain distant drinking flasks and applying buffs until the initial giant exploding rock spam is done then big rot breath and back on torrent to chip away with black flame until the giant folds. I tried many different spell combos and found this to be most effective however I would change big rot breath for standard rot breath so you can do it from torrent without dismounting. This fight took me over 3 hours and was one of the most satisfying of anyboss and any playthrough as I have never solo'd the fire giant before and because there are many different ways to win dependent on style and skill. Cheers Thingfishy for the video and ideas. I really felt my game improved throughout this run.

My first blind run I did it with a build based mainly on Faith (80) and a few points here and there just to have decent stats but not too high. I started with the Wretch and ended up as a Paladin / Cleric, mostly using medium armor, halberd or scythe for close range and incantations from distance or in combo. It was tough expecially at the beginning and at the end but rewarding.

One thing you can do in Fort Faroth, is summoning the three wolves to let them get the aggro as soon as you go down to get the Radagon soreseal. Once you see the big rat going for one of your wolves, you can take the ladder up safely, saving you some early runes. I’ve been doing this quite a few times already and it’s pretty consistent really.

Something cool about all faith builds is the ability to completely be rid of your red flasks 😎 lords heal can basically heal you almost fully with high faith + erdtree seal at 40 vigor, and you can get multiple casts off per blue flask if your mind is high enough

[@WUZLE]

Black Flame is super overpowered. As soon as I got it I used it on every boss except the EB. I am not good enough at dodging to survive without summons so I used greatshield skeletons. Throwing black flame at bosses while they are surrounded by door shield skeletons is so good it feels like cheating.

I have to upgrade mine. Handy at +1 for some bosses though. I can only imagine at +10. I only have mimic tear at +7 so far.

@@ThomB1031 My melee guys use mimic tear, my spellcasters use mostly greatshield soldiers. I say mostly because shield soldiers are pretty useless against some bosses.

I was really enjoying following this guide along until the Rennala fight. I just spent about the last 14 hours straight trying to clear her and finally did with some wolf summons and spamming black flame. Took one break to go level up to get vigor to 20 which seemed to help a little. She has an uncanny ability to not take hits from catch flame for some reason, not sure if its visual lag on her hitbox moving or what. Godrick and Margit did not have this issue.

[@rafaelglopezroman1110]

For anyone else who has trouble with her you can negate like 50% of her magic damage with Carian knight armor and magic resistance incantation. Also use physical attacks like Dragon maw and dragon claw, since she is resistance to everything except physical attacks.

[@caribbeanjack]

For Malenia, use the fire spell you get from Fire Giants remembrance, Burn, oh flame. The fight becomes a joke, as Malenia can't even stand up and keeps getting knocked down.

I thought Pest Threads had been nerfed again because I wasn't doing much damage on the EB with it. Then I rewatched the part of your video where you say "Close range" and stood right up against it as I cast. Worked like a charm.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

This exactly. It works because every limb registers damage independently. So at close range the threads will hit multiple limbs and stack the damage. Long range they all converge on the same spot. Thanks for watching!

[@Sinhsseax]

@@ThingfishyGaming You can alleviate some of the problems with long animations by using the named dragon spells after jumping. They will keep you flying so you can avoid ground AOEs as if jumping. And if you know that an AOE is coming you have opportunities for casts. (Ongbal did that with Placidusax's Ruin on Godfrey. It gives massive style points.)

[@outofmytr3317]

I have done a partial dragon spell run (based on NizarGG's build) and agree with this issue on breath spells. Which is why dragon claw and dragon maw are essential pick ups for field bossess especially. Dragon claw has a 2 hit true combo which stance breaks everything less tanky than a crucible knight. Dagon maw can stance break crucible knights and some smaller bosses.

[@rafaelglopezroman1110]

You are suppose to set up the dragon spells with a faster incantantion or buff yourself enough to ignore damage. I destroyed Mallenia with OFlame into Dragon maw spam plus lightning spear for chip damage. Oflame tosses her into the air and into the ground and dragon maw can be easily casted while she is on the ground destroying her poise. You want to quick cast lightning spear if she gets away if she tries to dodge she can't attack quick enough for you to quick cast oflame into her. This guide the guy made sucks, you are suppose to mixed different attack incantations from different schools and not stick to one or two. Usually I have 4 incantations for attack the rest for buffs and healing. With black flame protection, opaline tear, golden vow and erdtree healing you can face tank Malenia's water fowl dance but if you do the oflame spam and destroy her poise she will never get a chance to do it. I don't think I ever rolled. Incantations are all about adaptability and hard countering.

Fun fact for Gideon you can use Frenzy burst (I call it Kano eye) from the door a couple of times and depending on your stats you can two shot him. i'm not sure if it's still a two shot since the Frenzy nerf but it should still keep you out of his range even if it isn't.

[@nicktaylor3245]

You always ask us how we got along if we tried this, and I finally finished one of your guides, so I'll share my experience. After the setup, the early game was a breeze. Margit, Godrick, Red Wolf, and Rennala all went down in a couple of tries each, if that. Ekzykes took a couple of tries but nothing major. Godskin Noble took way longer, probably ~20 attempts since everything two-shot, but eventually I got him down too. Morgott, Rykard, Fire Giant, and Niall all went down in a handful of attempts, if that. I got a free Somber from beating Anastasia with Catch Flame in Consecrated Snowfield, so I delayed my trip to Mohgwyn Palace until I actually needed to beat Mohg. All the Underground bosses were super easy except Valiant Gargoyles, but it was my first time fighting those, so that one took about 10 tries. Beat Godskin Duo on the first try, and Maliketh only took a few attempts as well. The Gideon cheese worked perfectly, and I actually managed to first try Godfrey/Hoarah Loux (I usually struggle with that a lot, especially Hoarah Loux). I got the Flock's Canvas Talisman before Pest Threads and used the Gowry's Bell Bearing to buy it. Radabeast and Placidusax took about 5 tries each before I got them. I couldn't get Ordina skip so I did the puzzle, but it didn't take long. Fighting Malenia was a massive pain, though. I couldn't get enough distance for safe Frenzied Bursts in phase 2. After about 20-30 tries, I ended up killing Adan in Liurnia for Flame of the Fell Gods and turning in Fire Giant's Remembrance for Burn, O Flame! With those and the occasional Frenzied Burst, I was able to beat Malenia, including a hitless phase 2 after about 5 more attempts for my first ever Malenia kill! Fortissax went down first try, and Mohg only took two or three attempts. I screwed it up cause I forgot to drink my FP flask before using the Shackle, so I didn't get full Ekzykes's Decay off. Then I went to beat Sewer Mohg to get the Frenzied Flame Ending for the achievement, and then I respecced into the Maliketh build. I'm excited to try that one next!

This is very helpful. im doing a dr strange build sk this came in handy a lot

[@LeoHiranoo]

I literally finished my incantation only run yesterday, this video would have helped a lot. I didn't think Pest Threads would be strong, ended up killing Elden Beast (also Fire Giant and Mohg) with only Stone of Gurranq. On Godskin Duo, I only attacked the Apostle, so I wouldn't have to deal with the Noble's rolling, never imagined you could one cycle both at the same time. You can charge the Black Flame for some extra damage, even more if using Godfrey Icon talisman. I also farmed some levels by killing the Revenants in Haligtree by only using heal spells just because.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

Sorry it wasn’t in time, Leonardo! GG on your run. Yeah pest threads is busted against Placi and EB. Yeah definitely, you don’t sleep them then Apostle is definitely the way for ranges. Noble for melee. Nice! I still need to try the revenant heal trick. Haven’t done that yet. Thanks for watching!

[@user-sh2nv6vz6l]

the character face looks exactly like doctor strange good work

[@ThingfishyGaming]

They did an awesome job on it! Link in the description! Thanks for watching!

NO summons no farming, but lets farm things for the first 10 min xD

[@don.timeless4993]

i was wondering about this idea awesome video

[@meusana3681]

You do realize there is a somber 3 and 4 right closeby Iji. The 3 to the east at the bottom of the bellum highway site of grace's cliff. And the 4 to the north west of that around the cliff like almost next to the site of grace for the canyon. S5 you can get in raya lucaria on a balcony on your way to Azur's staff...literally a straight speedrun from the debate parlor across the rooftops

[@joeltowart8396]

I love your videos dude. I have been scouring KZbin for a build that combines black flame and ancient lightning spells. Please PLEASE please. Make this

[@ilikespagett1514]

Very cool vid, just saying might wanna turn your saturation a tiiiny bit down, your reds seem a bit harsh sometimes

[@barkermush7147]

Love these guide videos ❤ they are a really fun watch.. watched all 3.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

So glad you’re enjoying them, B! Thanks for watching!

[@dragondan244]

Faith is more fun to use since the incantations are wild!

[@TREVORVADER]

Ikr? There’s so many fun and cool looking incantations while sorceries kind of all feel the same by comparison

[@geist-2111]

Rotten breath is actually great for Malenia, between Rot and Ice Breaths and frenzied burst from very far i was safe for most of the fight

[@alexdevcamp]

What does "go through the darkness" mean at volcano manor? I've been following along pretty well up till then

[@devilyncurtiss2185]

If you find out let me know I’m confused too

Bro says "parry him" like I can parry shit

[@janbryantdulanas2059]

I like the fact that he made his character look like doctor strange

[@blakestafford7048]

Any else so how much his character looks like doctor strange?

[@ArctheDark]

For the love of God. SLOW. DOWN. And provide some map markers and more specific directions. This is damn near impossible to follow, AND you're giving the wrong directions! Less than 6 minutes you've gotten East and West mixed up twice! 11.15- It keeps getting worse. That's the RADAGON icon!

[@WUZLE]

I found it was easier to run onto the Dragonbarrow night's cavalry bridge and jump up onto the siderail, then drop onto the ledge. I died every time I tried to jump the gap.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

I change my approach to this cheese all the time. After many different iterations, this is the one that’s most consistent for me. But even now, sometimes I’ll fail it 5 times. Always open to new strats though. Thanks for watching!

[@WUZLE]

@@ThingfishyGaming One time yesterday the cavalry jumped over the rail and got stuck on that ledge. It just sat there galloping and wouldn't fall off. Eventually it killed me and I started over.

[@suppensalat2503]

This guy jumped off and spawned back on the bridge 🧐😅

[@WUZLE]

@@suppensalat2503 My last couple of runs I've led him to the end of the bridge and jumped back on from the side. He sometimes just leaps to his death and it's safer than letting him get close.

[@suppensalat2503]

@@WUZLE i did the old cheese and its still working but takes some jumping over and over xD

[@mathiaschristiansen365]

Just gonna comment for something I did for my own playthrough(i haven't finished yet, missing radagon/elden beast/morgh/malenia), if you want to cheese any humanoid enemy that i've fought (up until radagon, not melania) you can just use dragonmaw. on Gideon its a complete slaughter, he never even gets to stand back up if you time it. For anything big like Placidusax, Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike for me did 3-5k per cast on him, and I've used it on any dragon since that fight. Only used it twice on elden beast and he doesn't seem to care for that skill(i remember some damage of like 200? kinda sht ngl) I love incantations in the game, but I've had to resort to swapping over to a faith build with dual greatswords and seals for corresponding incantations, been working out well going through the haligtree :D

[@thrubeingcool82]

Just a couple of er points...fuck that jump onto the bridge to make the horse knight bomb out. Also said knight only spawns at night, and is more then likely to headbutt you off your precarious ledge then jump himself. Fun times.

[@bustamante-music]

It took a few tries for me, he can easily just hit you through the wall

[@cherrycola4476]

You should also take the dragon burnt ruins teleporter and grab the rot grease from the tunnel

[@meanwhilewithmattwoodworki8953]

Awesome build and video!! I am doing a similar build but with arcane and dragon breath seal.

[@ThingfishyGaming]

Thanks, Matt! Glad you enjoyed it. I really can’t wait to do a full dragon build! Thanks for watching!

[@Amonkira1029]

Can you make a text list of your stats at Elden Beast, and each talisman and buff equipped? I want to imitate your crazy Catch Flame damage on O'Neill, but I can't keep track of what all you had on you at that time

[@vampirelordx1]

… WoW DeathKnight build. Unholy (poison/Scarlet Rot/Death), Blood(do I really need to explain this one?), and Frost(freeze in the unyielding cold of Northrend) specs. All three on a character.

[@asdergold1]

Missed opportunity on using Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike on Placidusax.
