Strongest Bloodhound's Fang Build in Elden Ring - With Every Item Location

[@docproc144]

This thing is actually nuts. The fact that it can be buffed with Bloodflame Blade and Flame Grant Me Strength to make the bleed aspect of the weapon even better is wild. Plus it has like an extra 10% native increased jump attack damage, so when paired with the claw talisman it goes crazy. For how early you can get it, and how strong it is, I’d say it’s a serious contender for best overall weapon in the game. That Ash of War does great damage and it can be used as a dodge, giving you great mobility and utility. Also it uses Somber Stones as its upgrade material, meaning that you can upgrade it a bit a quicker. You can run straight to Iji in Liurnia at the start of the game to get Somber Stones 1-4, and then go to the canyon by Aeonia swamp in Caelid for a Somber Stone 5 right at the very beginning of the game. The only combat you have to do is the Bloodhound Knight evergaol to get the Fang, but even then you can summon Blaidd to help you. This weapon can easily carry you through the entire game. I usually pair it with Morgott’s sword if I’m dual wielding until I can get another one in journey 2.

[@buckyhurdle4776]

I love my uchigatana but I'm hard pressed to think of a weapon as user-friendly as the Fang.

And now i saw this, and thought of making this build. But the very first question comes in my mind for Alexander thing what will be good for me , to fight with radhan and then do further things or simply kill Alexander. Please tell me what to do

[@adambrown8923]

what is even crazier is if you get the mimic summon, you can basically just destroy the boss till they are dead because they also use your incantations so they can use bloodflame blade and any that increase damage along with the bloodhound blades skill

[@lawlietriver8869]

This weapon is so sick. It was the weapon I chose to use during my first playthrough. I immediately thought it seemed OP. You get insane damage with relatively quick attacks, good poise break, good bleed build and a great unique Ash of War. I never tried to min-max before, so I am excited to see how this works out. I am prepping a save for the DLC :) Thanks for the intel! EDIT: I have heard rumors that if you are too high level it will scale back a bit when entering the DLC. I wonder if that will totally screw up the amount of pts one needs to make this build work. Since this is a 150 build.

You can put Golden Vow on a dagger, cast it and swap back to Bloodhounds Fang btw and keep the buff - no need for the spell as a result, though it is slightly weaker (11% compared to 15% damage increase).
