@@HarryBolsakeven if u know every bosses attack the hard part is not messing up for a entire run like I can probably do most bosses in this game hitless but I can’t do a whole run

[@alexanderfrederick6669]

I believe that massive poise damage is because the projectile and the sword both have poise damage, so point blanking any enemy counts as a double hit. I remember when i was using it, it took 4 projectiles to stagger dts but in this video he staggered in 2. The only difference being that you hit him with both sword and projectile. Hope this helps

[@flute136]

pairs good with charged attacks since only the blade part affected by it

[@cordyceps182]

Oh no, even just the beam does ridiculous poise damage. It's crazy.

[@Vinnare]

use the godfrey icon, axe talisman, shard of alexander, and magic scorpion for insane dmg

[@bad_noob1221]

​@@Vinnarei believe with this weapon ritual is better than axe

[@Vinnare]

@@bad_noob1221 true cuz ritual does increase the projectile and blade dmg but it does require you to be full health which can be hard when you are up close spamming charged heavy attacks

[@sako2239]

Dark Moon Greatsword(Funny how it can be also be shortcut into D.M.G.) is of the few legendary weapons that I actually considered deserving of its legendary title.

[@MinerDiner]

DMGS* is what most people shorten it to

[@___AVARICE___]

Id also put SoNaF in that tier too, both the arts just melt whatever you look at

[@pegasus567]

honestly, i think it's more helpful to think of rarity in this game as, well, rarity. like, uniqueness. because sometimes unique means that no other weapon looks like that one even though it sucks

[@monhi64]

It makes me wonder though why DMG gets so much love, at the very least acknowledgement for its power. Yet no one seems to talk about Adulas moonblade, which definitely seems to be more powerful in basically every way but stance damage

[@___AVARICE___]

@@monhi64 because AMB is incredibly good, but less versatile. DMG is far more efficient in MP as well, giving you essentially free AMB for like 15 MP

[@Yklowz180]

I agree it’s one of the craziest weapons for non pvp -no fp loss for its skill -AMAZING for sorcery builds - frostbite - if enemy is resistant to magic, you can still do damage regardless - scales off of INT I’ve literally ran through most of the game with just this and a regular staff and ran into minimal issues, even in the endgame

[@joeygarcia6120]

Me, who’s developed an interest in Elden Ring from watching Gino: “Maybe I should give Elden Ring a try. The mods look cool!” That was my first mistake and my last. Rykard didn’t let me make any others.

[@nakiangoderich3014]

You struggling with Rykard? Try upgrading the Serpent Hunter.

[@joeygarcia6120]

I did, originally, cause it’s a souls boss. However, Rykard is the only (fucking) boss who has consistently killed me *well after* I’ve killed him (with those no-clipping exploding skulls everyone loves.) Killing him with the serpent hunter isn’t a problem anymore, but surviving him AFTER he dies? I think I’d fought him and won 10 times when I wrote this comment originally, and of those 10, at least 3 times he killed me from the grave with those skulls. Well after he had died, cause I’d gotten his great and he’d stopped talking before I died.

[@Green3Eagle]

Thanks. I've been wanting to get a poster of the Elden Ring map, but this one has the best quality and the wood frame just makes it pop for me.

I've been really enjoying the addition of the Skyrim music in the videos, it's such a blast from the past and gives me big nostalgia. It also makes for good chill background music

[@AtharasGaming]

I was so readu for this run ❤ thanks for vid Gino

[@crapname9692]

My favourite weapon is the DarkMoon Greatsword. It has so many buffs even as simple as rogier's armour provides a damage increase noticeable enought to change a battle.

[@mateuszgrzebyk4377]

New cams clean. Great vid.

[@Lone_wolf144]

There are 2 good things about the DMGS are - 1. After using the AOW, you can spam the projectile attack without having to worry about FP. 2. You can use the jellyfish sheild on the other hand to get an extra damage buff.

[@The_Veil07]

Used this weapon for my Arthas Menethil build. So happy to see it get the love this beast of a weapon deserves.

[@Ligmabolls756]

Run them with radahn armor and become the warrior of liurnia. Thats my favorite cosplay/build

[@monhi64]

@@___AVARICE___ but who is the warrior of liurnia? I’ve never heard of this and I tried to google it and nothing came up. So all I can imagine is it’s either something you made up like what a warrior of liurnia would be if they existed. Or it’s a legitimate known character that’s deep enough in the lore that it’s hard to find

[@___AVARICE___]

[@ChaseGlover]

MY MAN GINO!!! Repping the skyrim music NICE

[@zombiekungfumaster]

I've played extensively with Dark Moon GS and Blasphemous Blade, and they are both great weapons, but I think DMGS is the stronger option all things considered. Blasphemous Blade has the HP recovery, good physical damage scaling for both STR and DEX, and a powerful fire Ash of War (great synergy with buffs like Flame Grant Me Strength), but the wind-up for Taker's Flames is slow and it fires a slow-moving ground-based wave that can't target specific body parts (like a dragon's head) and some enemies/bosses can avoid or dodge outright. Taker's Flames does have some useful knockback and the potential to hit multiple enemies, but it eats up a ton of FP and FTH builds have many other tools to deal fire damage. DMGS has so much going for it. FP efficiency, huge magic damage, the added benefit of Frostbite that deals damage based on max HP and lowers resistances (20% debuff) to make all your other damage numbers go up. It bypasses the need for MND or DEX investment for INT builds since you don't need a lot of FP or spellcasting speed. Its Ash attack has double-hit potential at close range with the blade+projectile. The ranged projectile by itself is fast, can be aimed at weak points high off the ground (and reliably hit them), and does a lot of stance damage. Its magic damage can be buffed by Shard talismans, Godfrey's Icon, Magic Scorpion Charm, Terra Magicka, Magic-Shrouding Tear, and Rogier's Spellblade set (plus the Ash counts as a weapon buff for a Somber weapon that can't otherwise receive one, so it stacks with body and aura buffs). Dark Moon Greatsword is quite simply THE legendary armament.

[@haemburger8215]

Best weapon in the game for me

[@seanbrown3669]

Oh boy, do the blasphemous blade. By far the most op weapon in all of elden ring.

[@seanbrown3669]

Once you try it, you'll never want another sword again

[@thelivingnightmare45]

While I agree it's one of if not the best faith weapon in the game I have used it on a playthrough and its very strong but I found it over rated tbh

[@monhi64]

Yeah it really confuses me how Blasphemous Blade has such a reputation for being OP and yet the devourers scepter which looks similar if not better on paper(the stats) is total dog shit unusable tier. Not that I doubt you or the other people saying this, I just haven’t gotten around to trying either yet. Weird how that works out because I swear it’s not obvious

[@Ch3dlan]

Gino my beloved

[@marshallbrooks2371]

I wouldn’t call this a late game weapon, i blitzed Ranni’s quest and had it in under 1.5 hours and then did any% basically as normal which was really fun. So if you want to use this in your playthrough it’s perfectly possible

[@SirBucelotte]

Well killing astel at the start of the game, IS "hard" without at least +8 normal weapon

[@marshallbrooks2371]

@@echo.1209 yeah for sure. But like I said you can if you want.

[@monhi64]

1.5 hours for Ranni’s questline is so god dang fast. Yeah I felt like I fairly early made a point to prioritize her quest and even then I couldn’t get it done before late game. Legitimately felt longer than the main quest in some ways depending on how you define it. But yeah I suppose you could steam roll it
