The flail, also at gatefront ruins, is really underrated. I actually favour it over the lordsworn greatsword in the early game, it's main advantage being it's a very fast, agile weapon, and the enemies that gave me the most grief early game were the ones with those fast heavy attacks, the lordsworn greatsword was just too cumbersome. The flail was great for getting in a few quick hits then dodging out of the way of those heavy attacks. Great video

I’d argue that Guts Greatsword is easier to get due to being able to just go a pick it up rather than having to grind out the 3.5k runes to buy the Zweihander. 21 strength and 12 dex (2 handed) isn’t too stat hungry, especially when you consider that he had the winged scythe on the list 😂 Zweihander is much better early if you want to use a shield or a staff in the off hand or something though as it’s only 19 strength to one hand it.

Great video, was surprised you did not include the twin blade!

Honestly the Noble's slender sword is just better than the lordsworn's straight sword. It's a lot harder to get but I was lucky enough to get it when clearing out that same camp in the beginning.

Thanks bro bro. Been overwhelmed in the game as of late. This simple guide to some real bangers of weapons just helped rejuvenate my interest and excitement in the game

Awesome vid. Saved for when I try out some new builds. Already have the uchi and reduvia. Not sure to level arcane or go with more dex

I duel stance lord sworn straight swords in my first playthrough infused with bleed ashes for double bleed build up and they destroy everything - they are really quick so any status effect build would work great with these.

great video you are the person I always go to your voice is clear and at a speed that people can understand unlike other KZreadrs that try to beat the speed barrier

Your videos are super helpful, I've 100% this game and are still learning new things about it from you. Thanks for your hard work

Hey Dom, I took a hard needed sabbatical and when I got back yesterday I couldn't fight the urge to get back into one of my favorite games. Elden Ring. I have deleted my first playthrough and I started fresh. But when I was starting out I thought about you and your wonderful collection of helpful videos that you have done. I am a fan of your work from the first week that you were making the "things you've probably missed in Elden Ring " and voted for more of your videos. Anyway I started fresh yesterday and now I have found out that you are still going strong and I wanted to thank you for that. It means that I have more enjoyment than I would have without your help. And I am truly grateful for that. Thanks again and I hope to see even more Elden Ring videos made by you. Good luck in the future and take care. Bye bye greetings MacSpacey

Damn! You play super aggressive! I love it! Those giant headed crows and wolves are by far the most panic inducing enemy I’ve ever encountered in my 14 years of playing Soulsborne games!

Searched forever to find a good early weapons guide like this, either found 'insane early weapons' that required visiting late game areas to get or stuff so old that most the content is out of date. So thanks for this video, really helped a newb out. :)

You can literally run to Iji for up to +4 somber, so that's nice! Plus over in Caelid you can get 8 and 9 relatively easily. I don't remember where to get 5, but you can get a 6 just outside redmane castle. 7s require a glitch, I believe (something about getting over the bridge in Volcano Manor), and the Ancient Dragon Somber stone can be achieved just outside of Mohg, if you do Varre's questline. I was able to get a weapon up to +9 before fighting a single boss, but I'm not sure if you can still get that +7 in Volcano manor. I think they fixed that.

I think you forgot about Bloodhound's fang. You can get this very early, it has insane base damage and good scaling, with a great weapon skill + blink follow-up. If that wasn't powerful enough, you can also enchant it or coat it with weapon effects for some reason. Oh and it has innate bleed buildup. Can easily carry you through most of the game.

that Great Epee kinda reminds me of Balder Side Sword in DS1, was lucky to get a drop pretty early in game in undead parish, it pretty much carried me through whole game lol. It had kinda long reach and A scaling on dex

Great video! I find upgrading my weapons and/or knowing what weapon to go with is one of the trickiest element of this game since Im rather fresh to the From Software games. Say you invest forever in a weapon only to find something completely different you wanna use later on? Im still trying to wrap my head around this system.

Thanks! Didn’t know you could still get the eochaid since they patched the skip on the otherside

Getting the Holy blade weapon art grants a flat 90 holy damage bonus, which is huge early game. It fits perfectly on lordsworn great/straightsword, especially if you are going for a faith build anyway.

I’m playing confessor (just got the game last night) and after watching some vids I wanted to run a confessor “paladin” faith build. That part about the scythe had my mouth watering (although if possible I’d like to run a sword and shield style more) going for the scythe first thing when I get to play tomorrow!

In the Weeping Peninsula, I would add the Morning Star and Claymore. The Great Sword is also easy to get (if you're sneaky) in Caelid.

Thank you for adding arcane build weapons! I feel like those get overlooked and it’s my favorite build type for RPGS

Thank you!

If you wanted to add number 10, I'd Def put the guts greatsword in there, super easy to get from the back of the carriage in Calid at the very start of the game and arguably the best colossal in the game

I'd also suggest frozen needle. It's a thrusting sword that pairs well with jellyfish shield, you can attack from behind it with its buff, it has a ranged attack, it has frost build up, and it favors dexterity over strength

For me it would be... Claymore instead of the Lordsworn, I feel it has a better moveset and honestly it just feels like a bigger sword with better reach, but that might just be my imagination. It has a slightly heavier stat investment requiring 13 Dex instead of just 10 Dex, but it's really not out of most starting class' range for use right away. It's in Castle Morne and you might not have to fight anything to get it. I'd honestly just go for the Nagakiba instead of the Uchigatana, especially if you already have them going for the Reduvia. It's a little more legwork, but it's only two assisted invasions and then you don't even have to fight Eleonora to obtain it. It has a bigger stat investment, especially that 22 Dex, but you can make an entire start to end-game build around this weapon. You can even pair it up with the Uchigatana if you have enough Str for it and that's a fantastic combo. Double-Slash is an amazing Ash of War to put on it as well, along with a Bloodflame buff to make it the "honest" Rivers of Blood. Regalia of Eochaid and Sword of St. Trina... can't really argue with those. If you can pull off getting them super early, you can't go wrong with either. Meteor Staff, excellent choice and the thing that proved to me that starting Elden Ring as a sorcerer was not only viable, but incredibly fun and easy compared to literally every other Souls game. Get your hands on that staff, and right next door you can grab the Rock Sling spell (that gets buffed by the staff) and you basically have something you'll use most of, if not ALL of the game. So we've covered Str, Dex, Int and Arc. Your Fth weapon was the Winged Scythe... not bad and the only other weapon I can think of for a quick Fth weapon is either the Golden Epitaph (which didn't wow me, but at least is good with undead enemies) and the Treespear, which is more of a Dex weapon at the end of the day, just like how the Golden Halberd is more of a Str weapon. Black Knife is too difficult to get at the start, the Erdsteel Dagger isn't very strong, Sword of Night and Flame is a huge stat investment and just as much an Int weapon, Cipher Pata is kind of a joke... I guess you can get the Devourer's Scepter right away, but that is a hefty stat investment and the loss of an armor set later on as well as the Blasphemous Claw if you get it early on.

What about the Ice Hatchet ? The weapon skill is great against crowds and still very good against bosses. It deals inherent frost, and after you get frostbite on a target, you deal increased damage for some time. It's light, and the attack speed is decent imo. You have to get to liurnia, but there are no bosses to fight or tough enemies to either kill or evade.

I found the first one by accident

thanks for what you do

“The DLC round the corner”-💀💀

i found eduvia just as you were saying to climb up cliff to find it, i beat gaol cave berserker guy, haha, what timing

Knight's greatsword. 1st weapon I got as a drop from the knight at the camp, and at level 300+ still use it om my battlemage for carian grandure etc.

I am still using the Lordsworn blade haha. It just jives with my aesthetic. 60 hours in. I will probably look for something else soon but it does a good job when using the bloody slash ability

I'm very GLAD I found your channel

Got Lordsworn's Straight Sword from the very first humanoid I killed in the game. Some patrol. Nice.

It can be hard to get bc you have to go down the really tall Caelid tower and kill the Godskin Apostle, but you get the Godslayer's Greatsword for it. Sick weapon.

Nice video.

I always go for the Noble Slenders over the Lordsworns. Reduvia's a must. That thing is broken. I find that Night and Flame is pretty easy to get. You can basically ride straight there. Just have to sneak into the manor. While you're there though, might as well beat the boss and get Carian Retaliation. I didn't know about the cliffside trick. Thx.

very nice vid

Bandits curved sword is another good one. If you grab the sacred blade ash of war (scarab just north of the church with the wondrous physic) you can easily farm the skeletons outside the church on the northern point of the weeping peninsula (cant remember the name)

someone told me to get the Twinblade, and its been serving me pretty well also.

For the 10th weapon you could have gone for the nargakiba by killing bloody finger hunter yura ofcourse you can also finish his quest but if the weapon is all you care about you can kill him as early as you want and get the nargakiba from him and with its extra length I think it is possibly better than the uchi

Uchigatana + flaming strike ash of war is insane. Build a lvl 20 + 0 weapon using this until end game.
