Really thank you for the guide. When it comes to Ash of War Carian Sovereignty, if you buff it with the below: 1- Golden Vow 2- Howl of Shabriri 3- Seppuku 4- Terra Magica 5- Magic Tear 6- Tear of charged attacks 7- Ritual Sword Talisman 8- Lord of Blood Exultation talisman 9- Shard of Alexander talisman 10- Godfrey Talisman I managed to deal 9,000 damage first attack and the follow up around 10,000+.

[@ThoCuaNhuNgoc]

you can use bloodsucking cracked tear instead, it's better

Nizar is the only one who can get away with this level of crazy editing. I usually hate it but I love his vids haha

[@waleedaldoais7093]

Whats crazy is with videos like these, I’m typically skipping to what I need to see. But the amount of effort and creativity in your videos make me actually want to sit and watch first then build it. Super engaging and not over the top. Kudos to you just gained a subscriber

[@StillOnTrack]

WARNING: if you book it straight past Bonny Village, or approach the shadow castle, you'll set off an ingame event that lurches NPC quests forward. It's an invisible line you cross. So. If you don't intend to do that, don't head straight there.

[@adamlantos2319]

Can we get to Ymir and the Carian Sovereignity without trigerring that quest progress?

[@tipiilegends5482]

@@adamlantos2319No. you have to progress quest lines to a certain stage before going for this or it will lock you out of some rewards and summons and such

MINOR SPOILERS: It says "A great rune has broken" or something along those lines so just look up what to do before this. It's nothing too major but a PSA in the video would have been nice.

[@SteveHolm89]

Just when I thought I was done with ER for this time, Nizar pulls me back in

[@heqitao]

Probably haven't said it enough, but I use your vids for almost every game I play. Thx for all the work. You are a master craftsman, and I enjoy borrowing your tools.

[@foshimmy]

Unfortunately, carian sovereignty got a shadow nerf with the latest calibration patch. You no longer get hyperarmor during the charge with greatswords. It still does insane damage and can poise through small hits

[@TerminusEst]

I think a point-blank shot from Impenetrable Thorns is the most damaging sorcery in the game now that comet azure has been nerfed

[@HailDarkseid]

Yeah , I’m thinking about using the new staff and probably making that my only spell , and use the lizard sword/moonveil

[@kewlazzname]

Thorns is better but don't sleep on crystal torrent

[@HailDarkseid]

@@kewlazzname oh no I’m not lol my only issue with that is the cast time , doesn’t it leave you kinda vulnerable

[@Don-000]

@@HailDarkseidyes but thats why it has good range as well

[@rico7605]

I remember watching your early Elden ring builds, they were so fun and good to use. So once the dlc dropped I spent an hour trying to find your account since it’s been a year. And glad I could find it keep up the work man 💯

[@UndeadAaronGames]

Excellent narration and structure, really appreciate the video and editing .

[@Vibrosis8703]

The shadow lizard wizard cracked me up. Love it!

[@mathiastrzil1359]

Love the progression from the main game builds into the dlc, especially from a lore perspective for your original characters 🔥

[@OldHeadJed]

You make the best build guides...Please never stop. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@jello7281]

For FP regen, you can now craft a Lulling Branch (from cookbook after beating one of the bosses). Pro: it regenerates 150 FP pretty fast. Con: Slowly builds sleep. Depending on how high your Focus is, it'll probably induce sleep on you. Counter this with either armor that has a high focus rating, or the Clarifying Horn Charm (a +2 version is in the DLC) talisman.

From which boss does it drops mate, i cant find it

[@blindmanai6957]

You're editing skill has had ridiculous growth since I started watching your videos. A true feast for my eyeballs.

[@davidvega462]

3:24 I have a theory. I think they nerfed the hoarfrost stomp into the ground so hard…(you could even say they “stomped” it into the ground)was because they didn’t want the hoarfrost stomp and the divine beast frost stomp to be identical 🙃

[@ricardosharry8944]

Agreed it seems off

[@vexthegreat9167]

Warning for people who haven’t done the DLC: going for this will trigger a point of no return event. It will advance NPC quests and you’ll miss out on unique items, so be careful.

[@tankt0pmaster276]

Shit… 😂

[@RenegadeStriker7]

Or going to the castle too😢

[@tcgxseeker]

Just picking it up? You can get to it without progressing anything

[@gkurl]

Thank you for no DLC spoilers - I'm currently just getting around to playing it using your Frenzy Madness build! :D The best builds by far man keep it up!

[@heathcliff4034]

With Vanishing Spell at 6:34 if you move around while using it you pretty much teleport (it is short distance but still). It has some potential.

[@g.guardian8144]

Nizar GG does great videos, but had a random thought "He should make DLC versions of his get OP early builds for each class" Just sounds like something fun, A build that goes from early game to Mid/Late game then finally goes to DLC

[@xbranico9460]

Just completely skipped over the part at 2:20 on how to get through Moorth ruins...nice

[@DustyCarlyon]

Use Torrent. Jump off the side of the roof, then use the extra jump to the little ledge under the roof.

[@jimmystack5]

Need a build to beat the final boss. Been following your mage guides since you made the 3 pt series. I’m stuck I’m on like 120 attempts 😢

[@hihi-oh9578]

I'm a bit sad your accent is gone but your english pronunciation has improved so much. And your vids are amazing as always

[@m.a.dmatt6689]

I had a Int/Fait build that I brought into the dlc and I say the new death, finger and spiral spells along with that staff that allows you to cast both sorcerer and incant was a fantastic addition

[@alexanderhauge2636]

Thank you for making these videos. Elden ring is so massive its impossible to find out all these combinations out myself. I will try out this build.

Honestly, I've searched for days for this video to drop! Thank you!!

[@brigandboy1425]

Got those two staves mixed up. The Maternal staff is int/arc. The great beyond staff is int/faith. Also, if you do decide to go int/arc for the thorns spell, the Maternal staff ends up being the best mainhand staff you can use.

[@HailDarkseid]

lol I typed in “int build Elden ring playthrough “. Now im here 😂but im glad because your an aggressive sourcer , so it can be done thank you. Good video

[@daniloventura112]

I ran through the entire dlc at level 136 and 3 runes slots as an int build. I probably couldn't have done it if I wasn't a caster. Shard spiral for the MVP.

[@alexanderhauge2636]

What spell do you recommend for final boss of the dlc?

[@daniloventura112]

@alexanderhauge2636 : There's no easy way around radahn, especially in his second phase. I did it by using comet and shard spiral charging the comet when I had an actual openings. Lhutel the Headless is my go-to summon for this fight. Lhutel will consistently teleport to break agro and then re-engage with range attacks. This can sometimes get Radahn to run across the map to engage the summon, that when you charge the commet to land heavy hits. Lhutel can survive the entire fight provided you share in the agro. There's no cheesing this fight as a caster. Optimize for spell dmg for build. Talismans: blue scorpion charm,Godfrey icon, and Beloved Stardust. Weapon: Lusat's Glintstone staff (80 int is a must). Best of luck, you'll get'em.

[@alexanderhauge2636]

@@daniloventura112 thanks for a very nice explanation.😀 I will try my best. Currently I am a fire Knight using the fire Knight grestsword and the game is difficult but still doable. But I must admit. The last soul game I played was sekiro and the boss battles in that game gave me more feelings of Mastering the game. In elden Ring bosses for me at least Comes Down to much luck. However the level Design Story and details are incredibly. Love this game.

[@ixiahj]

Vanishing isn't a troll spell. You can chain cast other spells with it so when you appear, the spell just casts. Its not for defense like bhs. Its for attack. You can increase the casting speed with talismans.

[@ricardosharry8944]

Ill try it out

Is the Golden Order plague doctor going to be getting an update? This DLC has so much int/faith stuff, it’s great.

[@Lehory29]

Awesome video, it will be great if you make a video guide with thath build until you enter the dlc

[@RhythmRabbyt]

I already upgraded my Carian Knight with Carian Sovereignty. It’s fucking bonkers man. But for whatever reason I don’t get hyper armor consistently. Maybe it’s only in the beginning? Or maybe because I’m using a great katana. Not sure if I get hyper armor on it when using Sovereignty.

[@SilverNightbane]

From what I know, they shadow patched the Hyper Armor on it. Some light hits you can probably get away with, anything heavy, yeah no. Need to test it by putting the AoW on a Claymore and a Great Katana and see if hyper armor still truly works.

[@markdevlin150]

Wow these AoE spells are exactly what I wanted from a mage build. CC is a must for a squishy mage.

[@yuukisorcerer96]

The Godfrey icon for some reason doesn't work with the new chargeable gravity spells or the divine beast ash of war, in case you are using mostly this you might want to replace it
