    I find it funny how no one seems to mention Blasphemous Blade getting giga buffed in the DLC despite the nerf. With the addition of 20% attack buff from Bloodsucking Crystal Tear (or Power Within for DS1 players) , and another 15% buff from Talisman of Dread, you can then combine those alongside the staple Fire Scorpion + Shard of Alexander + Fire Crystal Tear + Golden Vow + Flame Grant me Strength, and you'll get 5000+ damage Blasphemous Blade AoW, without the DLC blessing, that can be done at a safe distance and negates the HP drain of the Bloodsucking tear. You have 1 free talisman slot too that can either be for defense, Carian Filigreed for less FP cost or more damage buff

    It's like a perfect storm of many factors. It has innate Faith scaling, meaning both the Physical and Fire attack power scale with Faith, making it superior to other Flame Art weapons just like how the Erdsteel Dagger is better than any other Dagger on a Faith build for the same reasons. Since it deals split Fire damage specifically, it can also be boosted by Flame Grant Me Strength, which makes it superior to Sacred weapons as well who only get less than half the benefit from that buff while also having less innate attack power for the same stat distribution. It has the best of both worlds when it comes to Colossal Sword movesets, the superior light attack chain of the Godslayer's Greatsword that can true combo off of a crouch attack (and apparently further light attacks, that part should be addressed to make the weapon less braindead to play with and against) and the superior heavy attacks of the Zweihander that animation blend with your crouch attacks, giving you actual tangible alternative attacks to use beyond _just_ the crouch attacks. We also got two new Ashes of War that scale with Faith, deal Fire damage, come out decently quick, are usable on Colossal Swords, and even apply a buff to your weapon when used, my only complaint is the missed opportunity of having both of them together as a Stance-type Ash of War which would have been _literally_ perfect.

And the worst part about it is, I already knew about the build because my friend was telling me about it, but I just didn’t want to use it because I wanted to try to Strong arm the final boss with the build I had going.

    @@zenbon2319 That statement is half false, at an astonishing 100% rate. Constant L1 with shield+spear/thrust sword has been the easiest way to play the base game as well, even without DoTs. So, no, it was Too good for vanilla ER too. However, it's even better in the DLC, because while block-spamming was outshone in the base game by more "active" and shiny builds (early moonveil and RoB, blasphemous blade, night comet, gransax bolt, every stance-break build etc. just to name a few), it's very hard to overestimate its effectiveness in the DLC, where everything is new, fat, agile, and hit like a train. It's zero percent fancy, but wholly minmaxed to be fully dull yet effective. But of course, this playstyle comes with the downside of losing braincells at a faster rate than outsmoking SnoopDogg. I'd argue that's never a sacrifice worth making, while a few would argue it's always worth it. And some would say that braincells must be abandoned, to meet SotE's measure.

    I messed with the shield + Blood Antspur Rapier build, and my findings were that the best mix of damage and survivability for talismans was to use Twin Turtlehead Talisman and Pearl Shield for defense and both the Lord of Blood's Exultation and Kindred of Rot's Exultation talismans for damage. You WILL eventually rot and bleed everything, so both of those talismans will be active for 20% attack power each, stacking with the White Mask's 10% (Or you can use Mushroom Crown for 10% while an enemy is rotting near you). I didn't feel the need for Greatjar's Arsenal, as you already have perfect phys damage negation while guarding and thus can equip lighter armor pieces for non-physical mitigation quite comfortably. And as you said, you take damage and heal so infrequently that equipping more defense isn't really necessary.

    The impenetrable thorns works wonders on the final boss. After beating every other boss solo, no-cheese Dex on NG+1 I finally got tired of RCM nuking me over and over. It doesn't quite 4-shot on NG+1, but getting a quick two-opening transition in like 15 seconds is excellent. Seeing a 10k damage proc from one opening is a beauty. Maybe next time I'll try that second phase on a nice regular NG 150, for a bit less tankiness.

    Was running faith/dex, got the lightning perfume bottle, thought it was neat. Went for rolling sparks cause it was the earliest available AoW for it. No real build for it, no major buffs, 60dex/50fth, cast it once on a tree spirit, hit for 3.5k damage. Absolutely wild - especially considering shard of alexander and perfumer's talisman both give it massive buffs.

    I think the problem with shield is that in Elden Ring enemies simply just doesn't do much stamina damage through shield at all compare to other Souls series. In DS1/2, bosses do tremendous amount of stamina damage to your shield, plus both games regen stamina much slower, so you cant just hide behind your shield for eternality. In Elden Ring, most enemies, including bosses, do very little stamina damage , especially on the most broken finger print shield. The final boss of the dlc does laughable amount of stamina damage, considering his size.

I remember the True Power of the Moonveil, the Unbreakable Fingerprint Shield, Stance Break of the Redmanes, and the absolute terror you felt when an invader lit themselves on fire and started running towards you. I look forward to making many glorious new memories with these builds 😂

    finished the last boss with the shield build today, felt a little dirty but there's time to get good later... need to explore the dlc with my new weapons! you still need to kinda learn some attacks to survive phase 2 but if you manage to recast the shield buff you can facetank him pretty well with the fingerprint shield. without it the chip damage gets pretty scary. apparently, the Black Steel Greatshield is very good for this boss with 100 phy and high holy resists (depends on infusion according to wiki?) and decent guard boost with much lower requirements and weight. I used bloodhound step on my antspur rapier to dodge some attacks in spite of heavy load. rot really helps with p2. summoning mimic tear at the start of p2 gives some breathing room to rebuff if you manage to lose aggro on the boss.

    the perfume build is more ballanced in a way because its a glass cannon build. i been running the new tear that gives you damage buff but drains your health and howl making you even weaker on top of one of the new armors that give you a damage buff but makes you take more its a pure glass cannon build

    You can actually Mix the tower Shield and Carian Sovereignty builds by using the new Carian Sorcery Sword which is a thrusting sword that scales on INT allowing you to thrust from behind the shield and it has a unique heavy attack that allows you to cast spells without having a magic staff in your hand. this lets you do all your basic spells while still having the option to actually attack with your sword and can cast things like Schoolar's Shield on the shield in your left hand, the only problem is that the Carian Sorcery Sword cannot block counter in this setup becuase it doesn't have a heavy attack. I found this to be an extremely powerful set up for traversing the DLC and whats left of the main game for me to complete. And in boss fights I swap to the Flamberge Greatsword (becuase it scales with Dex and Dex is my 2ndary stat) with Carian Sovereignty as its ash of war and a staff in my left hand for spell casting. if needed. Again ive found this to be extremely powerful in the DLC and absolutely rips the main game apart.

    They could probably fix the perfumes without destroying the weapons by giving them a damage decrease and making buffs like howl and vow not work on them (limiting the available boosts to stats and perfumer talisman). The ability to explode it against the ground has felt like it makes a huge difference in their ability to manage fast bosses with short windows for damage given how slow the moveset is otherwise.

    Just make the specific problematic ash of war explode until it hits a wall / floor and then one single explosion on impact with said surface. Then if you spam at the floor all of the explosions don't go off in the same place, and you have to fire forward in a line as intended.

    Hello Youwy, thank you for this video great builds! i got a question - new elden ring player here. For the shield build, i wonder if the Barricade shield - ash of war is needed for both shields u mentioned or only for shields that are not greatshields/have less guard boost (Brass Shield u mentioned=? Aiming to block bosses with this setup and i wonder because i want to use a ash of war on my mainhand. This is not possible if i have to use the barricade ashe of war. I dont get what barricade even does wiki says it gives hardness tier 4. Can i block heavyier boss attack with t4 than a normal great shield? And a side question can i use Incantations to buff a weapon with this set up to make my weapon apply blood/poison or blackflame for the buff duration? I am confused because i dont get which buffs are stackable and which would remove each other, i learend about aura and body buffs but i dont know in which category the "poison armament" would be in...

    i was thinking of doing the carian sovereignity build but not as much as the main source of damage, but use it as SOME damage and as a stance breaker and, with a high critical damage weapon, basically one shot the boss. however, if i put the ash of war on a dagger, it gets canceled really easily. do you reckon theres a good way of making this work without making the ash of war do criminally low damage, but also make the riposte do a lot dmg?

    I wish i had 2 or even 3 of those bloodfiend arms because i love switching between Cragblade, RKR and Endure on it. Each one does something great. Cragblade is awesome for stance break and just a nice damage boost for a minute. RKR makes the R2 hit like a truck and Endure lets you just stand there and spam it without having to worry about incoming damage. I've been dying to use a colossal weapon and haven't found one in base game i really enjoyed besides pizza cutter which is ok and Beast jaw for AoW spam (I think most people don't even know what its moveset looks like). This one is fun. Love the R2 and unlike the club which is split holy damage this is all physical and you can change the AoW (my biggest issue with the club because its aow is mid at best). I'd love 8f with lion claw and finally got a weapon that you can do it with.

Just can't get it to fully charge on most bosses unless you're using a summon to pull agro for a bit.
