That moment when you watch part 1 of the mage series and realize that you've checked all the boxes. And then you start watching part 2 just after setting foot in the academy.

[@todhold2673]

You should consider not using cuts. If you want to speed up the walking, just use a speed up edit. Cuts make it look like you're teleporting and in tutorials, teleportation is confusing.

I agree, when going into the cave under Raya Academy, he didn't at all mention that you needed to fight a somewhat difficult boss to get to the elevator, still a good guide though, don't get me wrong...

[@Forgotten_Aeon]

Your videos are so concise and accurate, cover so much in this huge game, and get to the point without wasting time. Amazing. Thank you so much for your work in putting your mage guide together, it’s objectively one of the best Elden ring videos on KZbin!

this is one of the best i've seen thus far and I've watched a lot of mage vids trying to up my game! Ty

[@MVIVN]

I’m so excited to continue making the ultimate mage with this guide, unfortunately I can’t play Elden Ring for 2 days due to work commitments but I’ll come back to this video and start working my way through the steps!

[@shootemup323]

These videos for mage are the best you tube has to offer thank you so much 🙏

[@sullychow4123]

Genuinely the best mage guide I've seen. Informative, little quips, comprehensive. I had to work out all this information doing a wiki/reddit delve and I could've just watched your video lol.

[@Roflskippy]

Just as an additional note to all this wonderful information, there is a soft cap on power increase past intelligence stat 80. So if you lvl your int to 80, you can start moving your build around more freely, like different helms that don't nerf your stam and health.

[@joereilly8890]

Yes I’ve been looking for this info all over the Internet. I can finally stop using that helm with +6 int since I know I’m way above the soft cap now

[@dragonwaz]

@@joereilly8890 yeah I consistently got like 2 extra damage per point in int then 0.5 per point after 80

[@blockminster3282]

You really only need 72, you can hit 80 with the Stargazer Heirloom and the hat off Rennala with no penalties.

[@johnlewis9855]

@@blockminster3282 I think you can do better getting to 80 int, and then exchange the Stargazer Heirloom and Rennala's Hat for Graven School(and mass)/Glintstone Blade/Radagon Seal/Magic scorpion charm and Snow Witch Hat for frost spells increase. Using items to add to int for a pure sorcerer is a waste, as you always should be at 80 int softcap without item help.

[@leonnardlee]

I don’t usually leave a comment.. but this guide as well as the part 1 is really awesome! Thank you so much!

[@RonaldvanGeijn]

priceless. must watch if you play the astrologer class! Really appreciative of the huge amount of work that has gone into this.

[@michael13849]

If anyone is watching this now you can actually skip the boss at 6:56 by quitting out of the game to deaggro the boss and the cerulean nerds next to it. Azure is standing by the sight of grace so just run to the grace, quit out, come back in, talk to azure.

[@Dexrazor]

It makes spells cost more mana so honestly I wouldn’t go for it unless you have spent a lot of levels in Mind. If you have 60 int or you plan on getting 60 int, use the Remembrance from the Raya Lucaria boss to make their staff.

[@schizoidkid666]

I think both that and and lusats staff are for 100+ lvl builds where you have 40-60 mind, early to mid game you would have to drink after every 2 casts

[@bananabames8184]

Hey man these videos are amazing, i wish you talked about stat allocation every x levels though, 50 then 100 for example

[@tuckerrudolph1107]

Highly recommend getting the nightmaidens mist spell before fighting the crystalians, the spell ignores the bosses resistances and u basically one shot them

[@matthewlopez7381]

thank you!

[@Dgdragon101]

Was quite a bit disappointed when I started this game fresh hoping to play a mage only to find out that it was pebble arc doo doo and was convinced magic had been pushed aside like all other souls games but you truly. Saved this game for me, got around to .lvl 50 and used your guide to the teeth and now I'm loving this game and can actually play it by myself, you sir have my thanks and absolutely cant wait for the endgame video

[@FelisImpurrator]

Ironic. Pebble and arc are the best spells until you get very high mind and int, when low cost efficiency, ultra powerful spells like Stars of Ruin or Cannon of Haima become economical for sheer burst power. Otherwise, the use of other spells like Great/Swift Glintstone Shard is for enhanced homing or range or travel time, usually. Then there's Carian melee stuff which is amazing damage and FP with stagger, but leaves you open. And rock sling, which is the third "best early game spell" in no specific order.

[@Christian-lb7lq]

magic has always been overpowered bro

[@justhair17]

Magic is actually rly great in ER. There is much more variety than in previous titles and there are some rly good int weapons, like Moonveil, Wings of Astel or Darkmoon

[@SbkJay98]

Thops Barrier is really good and you can get it really early when you go to the academy. It deflects magic and incantations better than the party magic shield and consumes less FP

[@NT-gw5tx]

Another awesome video! I highly recommend adding the Stars of Ruin sorcery to one of your videos. I absolutely love it for some of those bosses that move around too fast to hit with other strong spells… Looking at you Malekith…

[@straightwhitemale.1117]

And I thought part 1 was the best mage build video on the internet... Excellent follow-up. Your pronunciation of some words cracks me up haha.

[@Babalon1]

if ur struggling with the boss at the crystal cave i suggest getting the marionette soldier ash of war and on use the rock sling spell, took me less then 5 minutes to beat them (try to focus on the one thats distracted) very good tut btw.

[@mansa_karn9012]

When you guys start ranni’s quest chain (to get adula’s moonblade), I don’t want to spoil, but try to periodically check on blacksmith Iji near the Road to the Manor site of grace. I just found that now he sells Carian Filigreed Crest talisman, which lowers FP consumed by skills! Now it’s even easier for me to spam carian greatsword or rock sling! Hope this helps 👍

Nice walkthrough but would be nice to have some heads up like “hey this boss will probably murder you so look up that walkthrough first” ie: academy crystal cave.

[@earisu]

Thanks so much for these guides. There's an easier way into Lenne's Rise if you use the sprintspring to go to the lower building behind and slide down to the balcony. I couldn't make the jump in this video even when I got the double jump to work so this was easier for me :)

[@Halphad]

For all the folks with the same question (nobody in this comment section knows apparently) once get into the broken windows go right and kill the two mobs, on your left there will be multiple enemies where the stairs are, kill them, go upstairs, turn left, then like 3 more enemies, again follow the stairs and left again

[@Halphad]

Or just run lol

[@jonnymario771]

In my build I felt like going for 80 int at the end, probably the hardcap. But in the S scaling carian queen staff, leveling to the hardcap still looked fine.

[@justhair17]

Yeah, I think the soft cap is 60, hard cap is 80. Which means you still get value from 60 to 80, especially with high scaling staffs, tho it might be more economic to allocate it into other stats, especially vigor, because high vigor is almost essential for lategame

Someone probably said it but to get to hermit village go to Altus plateau erdtree gazing hill and follow that path north towards the gelmir mountains. You should be near lava at the bottom of the mountain. Keep following that and it'll take you to Azur. The tear itself is on the other side of the mountain. Go from a bridge, idr the name and head past it, look on the cliffs for a ladder, there will be a series of ladders, keep following them and you'll get to the other side.
