The ONE-EYED SHIELD is BETTER than MOST Weapons in Elden Ring - OP Strength Build

[@hieroglyphics1758]

I'd dump your dex points into endurance instead of strength if you're mainly focusing on the ash of war damage as it doesnt scale with strength only weapon level. That way you could have more stamina for blocking and equip load and trade out the great jar arsenal for something else.

[@pastorgainzgames]

Not a bad idea man thanks for the comment!

[@zack-julesweider-berger6351]

Paired with a thrusting weapon and flaming strike for optimal control . thank you for your build

[@pastorgainzgames]

No thank u!

[@OgieSifter]

Flail and one eyed became my favorite build in years of souls games. Being light and two handing the shield is dope it has a fun ass quick qump attack

[@pastorgainzgames]

Dude yes! That sounds super fun

[@rasmus2373]

Hey, thanks for this video, i was a little stumped and the talisman setup as well as the flask helped a ton. It's a blast.

Other builds: cool guy and cool shword This build: "Shut yo... *spits* "

[@pastorgainzgames]

lol 100% true

[@adawg3032]

This thing goes crazy I slept on it forever but I love this shield it’s so fun it hits crazy hard

[@pastorgainzgames]

LOL dude its comical how good this build actually is

[@ghostyuki-kfpinquisitor1038]

Think I'll try this when the dlc comes out combined with the rusted anchor for full ahoy

[@pastorgainzgames]

dude sounds like a fun time

[@TomcatH852]

Good inspiration to run early game shield only. Personally I duel wield the vintage shield, no pts into health early game. Only endurance for infinite block, and strength to pack a punch.

[@jameshankel8219]

It would be really fun to do a series like this based around ashes of war that can be applied to more generic weapons, such a swords, longswords, halberds, axes, and so on. While it is a lot of fun to see builds around weapons where the ash of war is not customizable (such as the One-Eyed Shield in this video, or the Dark Moon Greatsword, for example), many players enjoy customizing their builds a little more, even to the point of choosing what ashes of war to place on their weapons/shields/etcetera. So, for example, a video based on the Giant Hunt ash of war or a video based on the Lion's Claw ash of war would both qualify for this potentially new series. These videos could point out what weapons compliment the ash of war the best, along with the armor, talismans, and other buffs that also compliment the ash. Okay, this comment is long enough as it is. I'll just end it here... cool.

[@pastorgainzgames]

Hmmmm I see this is interesting I’ll look into doing something like that 😎

[@jameshankel8219]

@@pastorgainzgames very cool 😎

[@maliciousmudkip3656]

@@pastorgainzgames Raptor of the mists would be a really cool ash to mess around with too. Rusted anchor deals pierce damage, making the jump attack deal massive damage to enemies in an attack animation. For a duel wield option in your first playthrough, the Pickaxe is a weapon that also deals pierce damage. Even though it's a greathammer, it shares a power stance moveset with Great Axes so the jump attack pairs nicely with the rusted anchor. Not something I see get a lot of attention, but still holds it's own in the damage department.

[@jajos22]

This is a true meaning of a tank!

[@gonhag6624]

Yeah cool and all… But it’s an end game weapon. I’m playing as a warrior now. It’s my 4th playthrough. It is trully a shame that it is soooo far away.

[@pastorgainzgames]

It is a rather late game build, still wild though

[@StillWeRide]

if youre on ng4 you should already gotten it on yout 1st run. Youre in ng4 complainging about a weapon being end game when you couldve gotten it 3 playthroughs back

[@gonhag6624]

@@StillWeRide 4th playthrough as a 4th character. I completed the game as: Mage, Warrior, Saint, and Dex build. Warrior is mostly STR, and that shield slaps like crazy. With talisman that incrases bow range, You basically have homing missle launcher. There is also another one that breathes fire. Now I have to clear the DLC with all those characters :). STR build is first in line.

Have you tried this against Malenia?

[@pastorgainzgames]

Yeah if u can hit her it works super well but the timing of your shots is super important. Wait till she is close then let loose

[@rodbiagtan4250]

@@pastorgainzgames Thanks. I'll give it a try then. I'm currently playing NG+ and have restricted the use of a mimic this time around and I've been stuck on Malenia for several hours now. Lol, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

[@stompingpeak2043]

​@@rodbiagtan4250just use something like dual scavengers curved swords with the full bleed build setup(aka mask, both of millicents talismans, the bleed talisman, jump attack talisman, raptors torso). Then just sepukku both weapons pre fight and go in there to melt her. Youll literally kill her in a few seconds. Dual reduvia will work with this strat as well but wont be quite as powerful. Star fist with craigblade and charged heavy spammig works really well if you cant handle the other build. Pop craigblade(you get the ash by the radahn castle entrance where the guards have a battle wih the beasts) and wait for the window on charged attacks. You land 2 or 3 and she staggers. Rinse repeat on every boss all the way to ng7

[@israelvaldez26]

Would you recommend this weapon for the Elden Beast? I'm having a hard time beating him.

[@pastorgainzgames]

No not at all, unless ur doing a challenge run I would not, that fight is too hard and stamina heavy to use this for him in my opinion
