How To Use All 14 Elden Ring DLC Sorceries...

[@Rusty._]

*VIDEO PATCH NOTES 1.01* Just a couple math clarifications here. 3:48 → These values represent the TOTAL amount of base damage, since both spells have multiple hits. Just something to keep in mind when thinking about enemy defenses. 7:19 → Lusat's scaling at 80 INT is 413, not 414. Don't think most people care, but I'm mentioning it anyways.

[@حسنالجهني-ع2ي]

Rusty do a tier list of radahn's ass hair

[@Zantetsu13]

@Rusty. If you thought Imp. Thorns was not busted enough, Maternal staff gives bonus bleed buildup from it's arcane scaling to the spell.

[@bb2fiddler]

Now what if mantle of thorns *stacked* with briar armor? Would you do a dodge roll only run? For the BGM just loop the intro to Ridin' Dirty (they see me rollin)

sounds good to me

[@Hubloom-n9t]

11:24 as an intelligence user my self and lover of wizard im really offended because i dont know why hes acting have one good spell damage dealing spell in dlc is bad when we had all other good spells nerfed like asura flame to the point where they are not worth using any more in the normal game and mostly the dlc and the spell isnt even as good as some wepones in the dlc that legit 2-3 tap bosses.

[@VietDang-yk1yt]

@@Hubloom-n9t oh he is not upset, that is the sound of him becoming increasingly maniacal at the sheer thought of things he could do with the spell. Like when Oppenheimer made the atomic bomb

[@FaroushJinal]

Kind of wish he also went through the spell's bleed build-up is also buffed by albinauric staff and maternal staff due to the arcane scaling, and then there's something strange going on with the maternal staff that it's adding way more bleed build-up compared to the albinauric staff.

[@jackreacher7495]

Most chilling and thematically relevant flavor text, too

[@arnothefox9114]

You're not crazy, Vortex of Putrescence CAN double hit. Both the impact on the outer ring, and the flame in the center can hit. It either requires the enemy to be massive, or aggressive enough to get hit by the ring and then rush in. Get right under a dragon and cast it and you will see it hit twice.

[@moldysourdough9255]

Yea it's a great dragon or big boss killer with the double hit box. 2 slots is a little rough, but I think when learning how to double hit with it is worth it cause of frost proc.

[@imbored9334]

They should have made Mantle of Thorns a buff that boosts physical damage negation and lowers fire damage negation. I feel like this would have been more thematic with the Erdtree thorns ingame

[@rafaelcosta8291]

And make so there is like, an invisible bullet that pops out around you at every hit you take, so enemys take damage after attacking ya

[@BigDBrian]

nah it's perfect

[@jamesn0va]

I think it should give the poise boosting effect you get from one of the consumable perfumes but for a shorter duration and not slow you

[@Pepepper]

Even just adding marginal bleed buildup to rolling would have had some thematic value with every other thorn sorcery.

[@fredwardandthebear3192]

Something like poise boost, phys negation boost and lowered fire negation, plus roll dodging causes bleed build up on the user. Could be seen as a drawback by most users, but could be very useful for Lord of Blood's users in certain contexts.

"Oh it's just a little rock, just a quick glimpse into the cosmos, what could go wrong?" Yeah that's what the bearded crazy man with a stick behind the corner store says, but sometimes, just one little magic rock is all it takes for you to get hooked for life. Be careful with glintstone use, people.

Nice of you to release a video, I hadn't been called a dumbass for a while, it was feeling weird. Thank you for your service.

[@TheStormQueen]

The only time I've run through the DLC fully so far I was on a dragon cult paladin build, so I could never really try out the sorceries. Hearing that Miriam's vanishing isn't just another hidden sorcery and is actually a perfect fit for my spellblade I have running through the base game is amazing

[@ericjensen7580]

I found it helpful to dodge giaus, metyrs beam, a few other things. Might be a good substitute for places you'd want to swap to raptor of the mists. TBH, the MVP sorcery of my int run was Rannis darkmoon. It absorbs multiple boss projectile moves, including consort meteors (cast immediately after you dodge his jump), Rellana's blue beams, holy land, etc... It also let's you avoid some of the big ground AOEs (twinmoon, putrid knights ghost flame, etc...). There are actually a lot of good places to get it off safely in boss fights but you sort of have to be willing to do some testing with it against bosses. It helped me solo consort on my int build.

[@TheStormQueen]

@@ericjensen7580 oh yeah I love the moon spells. This isn't my first spellblade, but I really wanted to try a Rellana's swords character that primarily uses carian sorceries. Deff picking up Ranni's Dark Moon when I get round to it lol

[@puffii_]

A little tip for all of the long charge boss shredding sorceries, if you put a dagger with endure on it with your off hand you can get it off pretty much for free whenever you want.

[@TheAzul_Indigo]

@@abyzzwalker electro charge and fires deadly sin are both body buffs I think. Idk about thorns, but I suspect it’s a special buff or a body buff so maybe you’re right. I was mostly thinking of the sin+oil combo.

[@EinTheEin]

Don't forget about Endure. Casting becomes much safer if you have essentially infinite poise with damage reduction for 3 seconds.

[@TifffanyTaylor]

The knowledge & insight into the finer details is much appreciated. This information isn't readily available to most. Especially for console players.

[@cyrax030helix9]

[@dunefox8]

Like literally everything else

[@animeotaku22]

Another point about Miriam's Vanishing, if you don't input a direction when you cast it you'll simply phase out of existence in the spot you're standing in, kinda like the Raptor AoW but without the jump afterwards. Really useful in certain situations to just let the attack phase through you instead of moving out of the way.

[@galaxsija4591]

great overview! thanks mate!!!! I have really been enjoying using Spectral Rings of Light, i folded it into my standard magic dmg build by replacing rennala's moon with ranni's for the frost synergy. Its a nice little addition with truly excellent range and tracking at a low FP cost. underrated IMO.

[@petexn7573]

somehow you always manage to find a thing or two i never knew about or never thought about and that's why i appreciate your videos. i've been struggling to make miriam's vanishing work in pve only because enemies track you through the teleport REAL well, but i'll switch up my gameplan with it a little.

[@theswinginswan4138]

Miriam’s vanishing helped me so much with golden hippo and Radahns meteor, it’s best used when an enemy is committing to an attack already and just teleporting away so it won’t hit you. Very useful imo, a new staple and will always be on my first slot so I can quick swap to it if need be

[@demonbirch4539]

6:30 - 8:50 Something I discovered while fighting Midra: Glintstone nail(s) seems to do increased damage against Midra while he is in his second phase frenzied form.

[@pactjmn]

Another tip for Midra that I found, if you cast twin moon right after his body hits the ground, it'll hit him in p2 and make it super easy to push him to his scripted attack.

Grav missle is even better too when you toss the meteor staff in your offhand for the extra 30% buff to gravity spells and then just cast it with a stronger scaling catalyst in your mainhand. Was very pleased by the damage for the fp cost

[@sh1murai]

16:08 while i mostly agree with this section im surprised you didnt mention the spells range and tracking. short of a dodge its rare they ever miss, and it was funny watching those rings relentlessy chase a flailing dragons face to then inevitably hit. despite being hard to get off i used to keep lorettas greatbow slotted for when i needed to reach out or perhaps standoff. and this always seemed to reach just as far. even if the damage wasnt as high it was so versatile i could actually use it for more than fringe cases. its not a great sniper, pressure, or general purpose spell. but its decent at all those roles at once and thats what makes it so flexible to me.

[@BathtubGoat]

I have always liked the Page enemy's flute music, especially when it overlaps seamlessly with Leyndell's somber background music. So your outtro was a pleasant surprise. Also I'm glad to see that you're having fun with the new content that the DLC has to offer. Your ranking videos are popular because you always have something sharp and sarcastic to say, which makes your rankings very entertaining. But these "tips" videos really sell the channel for me because helping people find good ways to make all sorts of different items/spells work better just feels nice compared to only ever sounding off complaints, funny as they may be. Don't let me dictate your channel of course. I'm only one guy amongst a hundred thousand that would love to listen to you go hoarse over a regional grass texture tier list (why does the DLC grass feel more like Sekiro than Elden Ring??), or whether it's fair to give us more hair options when their eye patch variety is only left/right/full coverage from a tattered dirty sock. Exposed dark empty socket when? None of it matters really because you'll do what you want. Overall I'm just happy that you're having fun.

[@vincentfrights1690]

So I would like to take this time to write out an apology. I don’t know if I had gaslit myself or if there was a patch that fixed some of these changes (like how I was able to use the misericorde with the parry ash of war with the milady sword until they for some god forsaken reason made it no longer able to do so), but the two handed talisman does not boost incantations and sorceries. However the Raksasha armor still boost spell and incantation damage and will post a video of the proof.

[@ferro9926]

Excellent addition!

[@Pepepper]

Is there some testing for this? I thought it only boosted the actual attacks with the weapon, because it definitely does not apply to Ashes of War.

[@galaxsija4591]

Thorns sorceries never really got alot of love in the vanilla game, generally being overlooked most of the time and only getting an extremely minor buff every once in a while. So Impenetrable thorns to me is a literal godsend, as I am a fan of the thorn sorceries. Them finally getting a spell that can actually be a woodchipper to enemies makes me giddy.

[@user-cs9sy6zc2i]

Every Fromsoft game brings us more Rusty, and that's worth a full point. 11/10. It's seriously the best balance of informative/relatable so it actually sticks.

[@draw2death421]

I have a feeling they planned the first dlc to be incantation focused and 2nd be Spell focused but when they combined them they just quickly made some of the future dlc concepts into this one.

[@civilturtle1870]

I think Miriam’s vanishing has become one of my favorite spells in pvp, not only for its distancing and dodging capabilities, but because whenever you cast it it breaks anyone’s lock-on on you

[@whikko486]

Some extra info about Miriam's Vanishing that might make it your new favourite sorcery: If there's literally any other target for whatever enemy is focusing you (so a mimic tear with a shitton of defense and prayerful strike, some other of the defense-focused spirit ashes or just a good friend with a two-handed greatshield) the boss will switch targets and stop focusing you instantly. This means that you can pretty much throw whatever shitton of damage, three hundred year long windup sorcery you have against the boss, vanish and repeat. Your signature tank will keep the boss' aggroo at all times and you'll be free to cast all those cool spells you don't have any idea how to fit in a bossfight because of their 6 year long startup, it's really useful in PvE. (Quick note, I haven't had the ability to test this myself, but it has been confirmed to me by like 4 different people, so feel free to try it out and tell me if you find the same results)

[@violetbliss4399]

Gravitational missile is so nice for a battlemage type character. Also, I hope when thorns gets changed, you can still use it without having a sinking feeling, unlike the vast majority of spells.
