Yo, not all heroes wear capes! Thanks bromo!

[@greynik7037]

The only thing i really lack for this build is the +10 on the sword and the eye, very nice. I'll have to go grab the eye and grind things out for the +10. Thanks for the build video. Also note to self, get 75 eyes for stat reset.

[@ImDBetz]

What would you recommend for stat allocations for this?

[@heldane778]

How do you get to lower calrath? I've only got past one beaconas well (Pieta's), but cant seem to find out how I get to calrath.

[@WoahItsCrazyMike]

Few things i'd recommend changing to this build, especially late game. - get the hallowed triptych pendant, it makes radiant damage do extra posture damage. it's an ABSURD amount, you can use the holy spell that's the continuous beam of light and just delete stagger bars, even on bosses, as well as the weapons holy damage, which will be boosted from the heavy attack multiplier. (seriously, it's probably the most broken amulet in the game) - get the mana regeneration ring, regens fast enough that you almost never need to restore mana with stones - give the 3rd rune tablet to the blacksmith and she'll give you a rune that makes any weapon/shield you socket it in weight nothing, and removes attribute requirements. it's mostly to remove the weight of the weapon, but you could technically turn it into a pure strength or holy build if you wanted to, they both scale at an A+ so it's not half bad. - add a shield, doesn't matter if it's garbage, don't worry about using it, just have one for the rune slots, you can get passive mana regen, bonus stamina regen, extra equip load, and many more things from the rune slots, always have one on any build that isn't duel wielding. - there's a better casting catalyst you can use, the holy ladies that like to shoot laser beams from far away can drop their big drinking chalice they like to sip on, it has the best scaling in the game, and has 5 spell slots.

[@royloplays]

Nice!

[@royloplays]

Any idea what that catalyst is called?

[@royrogers495]

​@royloplays I'm using the one that the stone lady in the fen gives you. Wilmarc I think it's called. Its very good. (Just use the sanctify to un-petrify her). I believe there is one better catalyst in the late game, and I didn't want to wait, and Wilmarc upgraded to level 9 is incredible. I might farm those holy ladies tomorrow to get the one OP is talking about.

[@mathewtermine910]

There is a better catalyst that goes up to S rank scale called the exacters scripture

[@herogazm3554]

@royrogers495 he's talking about abbess chalice. It's dropped from the abbess boss.. but the best radiant catalyst is 'exacters scripture'. You get it from doing exacter dunmire's full quest

[@dracoxander7558]

I recommend taking the mana rune off the sword and slotting in the lowest weight shield you can find, it'll give passive mana even when two handing your sword and it frees up the star slot fue something like raidiance scaling

[@siruseless6650]

Or even better: Crafter’s Essence to completely remove the weight of the weapon, thus freeing up a lot of equipment load for better armor and even a shield.

[@dracoxander7558]

@@siruseless6650 2 reasons I'm not doing that. 1 I don't have it lol. 2 I'm not 100% convinced that my build will need the weight reduction once my level is high enough. I'm level 98 and only need the weight ring to keep a medium roll so I'm comfortable atm.

[@siruseless6650]

@@dracoxander7558 Well then, simply more damage/scaling for the sword like you said also works out well then. 👍

[@largesoulofaproudgeordie7043]

In the same area as the umbral eye theres a weapon called the anvil hammer, its on the first hill with the mace enemy when youre coming down from the vestige. Thats a great weapon for early early game strength builds to use with this eye. I havent gotten to where you show the ravager sword is yet but the anvil hammer is putting in plenty of good work so far. As always awesome guide and video.

[@JodouTR]

Word of caution about Loash: hyperarmor does drop off towards the end of your swing aka the moment you stop charging and perform the attack. This means that you can easily lose wither damage before the attack completes, which means you can die if you're surviving on wither alone. Just be smart about your timing and it doesn't happen as often. Also, Nartun is better placed on a shield since it's constant source of mana regen that can sustain Radiant Weapon and Aura of Tenacity. Ring of Gnawing and/or the Mana ring from the prisoner will overheal mana regen making you an unkillable machine. I would also take Blessed Reflections over Divine Arms. Just try using that spell in PvP once and you'll see what I'm talking about LOL. Sanctify is also not great since it's a casting circle. I've seen so many people in PvP drop down sanctify and get one shot by me. Too much movement in PvE also so it's not even worth taking a healing spell; just run Aura of Tenacity that you find start of the game in Skyrest Bridge, absolutely broken.

[@domdp]

The aura spells drain your mana continuously unlike sanctify both are viable

[@JodouTR]

@@domdp Yes, they do but it’s actually sustainable in combat with 100% uptime. On boss fights, it’s lulz.

[@domdp]

@@JodouTRi’ll give it another go!

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

Funnily enough, my strategy is never to tank an attack but to beat the enemies, especially the big ones that have as slow of a charge up and where my build differs from this gentleman's is that I use one of the runes that deals posture breaking damage or the Poise breaking rune, i can't entirely recall. With these heavy hittin weapons, they usually cause a stagger which then allows me to jump right into a secondary charged attack. But that's just me 😅

[@SrAJoey]

Swapping the weapon out for mainhand Pieta Sword, offhand Bloody Glory gives you access to juicy charged attacks and access to fast two hander with great holy/bleed buildup modes for big enemies, rooms of enemies and bosses. This plus a lower strength requirement means more points dedicated to Radiance scaling, spells and weapon buff/weapon damage, especially since the buff effects both weapons.

[@妙花-z7s]

うん、たぶんでしょう。いま、してみたい

[@qingzhaozhang9568]

Ravager Gregory's Sword is great but it is better to understand its shortcomings: (1) heaviest weapon, about 10 more weight than other heavy weapons; (2) high stat requirements, not only about the 30 strength 30 radiance hard requirements, but also the investigation in endurance; (3) part of the damage is in wither, so probably you still two-shot common enermies the same as using weapons in lower stats but lower requirements. As almost all builds deal great damage after the mid-game, It is more like an end-game/new game+ powerful toy. Just my opinion.

[@royrogers495]

Great video. And once you upgrade your catalyst the piercing light does around 500 damage as opposed to 266 in the video. Melts elite enemies! Once you give the final rune tablet to the blacksmith she'll give you a rune that makes your weapon weightless that then allows you to dual wield 2 heavy weapons!

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

Crazily enough, I have inadvertently and unintentionally done this very build of sheer amusement. Ravager Gregory's Great Sword reminds me alot of Gat's Great Sword. Of all the weapons maxed or near maxed out, It's been Pieta's and Gregory's. I went super light with my Gal, using the Descrier wear and the Thorned crowned mask hood. I need to switch to my Radiant spells, but I'd loved the Enhanced Bloody Hatchet and the Spear that does the healing as well. Oh and also enhanced poison Grenades. Thanl you on the tip for upgrading my Catalysts. I wasn't fully sure about it, but will definitely be dropping stones on it.

[@Nastygopteryx]

Makes sense to me that you would put the Rune that negates the stat requirements and weight of a weapon on the big sword so you can free up your equipment load for any armour you want + another chonky weapon or large shield :)

[@domdp]

this is exactly what I did - dual wield +10 rosamund and +10 gregory sword - with the right runes I am getting 2100dps on the first attack with just points in rad and inferno barely any in strength also have passive mana regen ring and use radiance and umbral spells with the other ring and umbral catalyst

[@w7x509]

11:02 If you maximise the statistic on both strengths and regions meaning 75 this weapon will deal approximately 1200. I'm in NG+ and dual wielding with 2 ravager gregory sword, but even with that some Bosses are hard to beat.

[@Tharmorteos]

i think the reason why you got damage is a different one. when using the eye of Loash, i noticed that the damage becomes grey damage only until the point where your weapon does the little blue smoke explosion animation. you get normal damage and can be interrupted again right after this blue explosion happens, so in order to get the most out of the damage-negation, you need to time your heavy attacks right.

[@Dowhatyouloveoink]

Bloody glory in an alternative for this build

[@z1nky_aqz_Lascar]

what about the "bloody glory" sword?

[@mattericarichards8462]

I’ve been using in my primary slot the eye that increases the duration of the soulflay, and in my seconds slot I use the eye that does 25% more damage to souls, it’s a really nasty combo when you have 3 soulflay charges you can melt elite enemies with ease lol

[@RythymBeast]

derp

[@WildemaRrr]

Got this weapon, buffed it up and respeced my stats to actually used it, to instantly regret what I've done! Pls believe me, if you are coming from quick paced weapon, you are going to hate the fact that there is so many situations where you are able to hit someone with this massive charged attack, just to get killed by dozen of other creatures around you. Luckily I have another respec item to get back with my quick weapons.

[@johnthemann6483]

What fast build you using?

[@WildemaRrr]

Mostly Pieta's sword with couple of Aura's and mana regen, but my comment was meant for all the faster builds, no matter was it using bloodlust or what. My point was that Lords of the fallen gives you way more situations where you encounter multiple enemies at once, and those situations are horrible with the slower weapons. In the Elden ring and other souls games you are able to pick yours fights more easily.

[@nolongerhuman13]

Well served. Thank you mate!!! Cheers for this!

[@TheMrrccava]

If the game could stop unequipping my eyes FOR 5 FUCKING MINUTES that would be great

[@papadaddio866]

There is a grand hammer dual wield variation of this that can chunk over 11k damage per charged attack

[@SomethingScotty]

Weapon buffs even apply to boss weapons, unlike previous soulslike games. At 50 radiance with a maxed out spellpower catalyst and rings/ammy's that support spellpower/radiance Pieta's sword at full upgrade with the right runes I'm r1 spamming for around 1k.

[@jonathanyeahm7656]

Does the randomized loot modifier affect the umbral eye drops too cuz I didn't get the eye from flaying that belly thing.

[@fluffyfeetbmf]

Don’t want to drag it out, I’m just over here like…please do🤷‍♂️ thanks for the great video

[@Lee-22]

I feel like you don't necessarily need anything to boost equip load, defences or health with this build since the withered damage will make you 0 health but keep you alive. So even if a boss does a 10k damage attack you should be fine if that damage goes into withered damage. Maybe I'm wrong but I would just max out as much damage tbh, seems like it would be more fun too

[@NajidHajee]

You are still very much vulnerable. You only keep the withered health and hyperarmor/posture for the most recent hit. If an enemy pulls off a chain attack before you can land your charged hit, you've just lost that health. Same deal with facing multiple enemies.

[@glaeli1184]

@@NajidHajeeyes exactly. This build is weak to fast (even moderately fast) or multiple enemies, you even see it in the video. Still a great build but not broken.

[@domdp]

Thanks for this! All i needed was the Umbral eye and using it with rosamunds sword +10 and it fits my playstyle!

[@sacredfighter3564]

Works well with Anvil Hammer too ;)

[@COREcasual]

Dex/fist weapon build has been really powerful for me. You do so much damage with heavy attack because you attack with both hands so it's double damage... but obit 1 number will show, so it looks like you're doing less damage, but their health just drops

[@nxvh9062]

it's cos the game's damage counter only shows the most recent single instance of damage, so simultaneous two-hit attacks will show one hit's worth of damage (multiply by two to get the real damage value of the attack)

[@marians9331]

This game was so great, I can't wait for the next one which is in development.

[@mgkpraesi]

Im impressed how good and big this Game is. Well done. Dual Greatsword atm. Maybe i check this build out.

I dont think it will be nearly as diverse as ER since most of these "get OP" videos point towards radiance builds unless you want to get outright bullied in umbral. Lords is a good game but its missing some polish and balance to promote different playstyles.

As someone whos on NG+ and hating it seeing builds for NG that are low lvl but work is a nice reminder how much its not worth trying to replay this game despite how good it is. It disturbs me how deluded they devs are thinking that no vestiges and the very high scaling in NG+ were ok at all. I highly recommend just making multiple characters and I hate doing that.

[@chrispalmer6804]

best rune to put into a sword that heavy is the rune the blacksmith gives you if you choose to give her the final tablet, (the rune reduces stat requirements and and weight of the weapon/shield to 0, also the rune i'm talking about is diamond shaped just a fyi to anyone wondering that) so yeah best rune imo
