Overview

Daniel reviews recommended Elden Ring weapons in preparation for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, demonstrating builds, buffs, and attack performance across multiple armaments including the Blasphemous Blade, Ruined Greatsword, Sacred Relic Sword, Misericorde, and Maliketh's Black Blade.

Themes

The Blasphemous Blade heals on enemy defeat, fires an area-of-effect fire beam, and exceeds 4,000 damage when boosted by talismans and incantations like Flame, Grant Me Strength and Golden Vow.

The Ruined Greatsword inflicts physical damage using rocks and purple gravity electricity via a slam animation, producing 3,245 damage when fully buffed at full health.

The Sacred Relic Sword casts a golden light wave suited for farming roughly 100,000 runes per run at Mohgwyn Palace, but suffers reduced damage against targets resistant to holy damage.

The Misericorde dagger carries a 140 critical strike rating, reaching up to 6,225 single-target backstab damage when utilizing Fire affinity Royal Knight's Resolve, Darkness incantation, Black Knife armor stealth, and damage buffs.

Maliketh's Black Blade incorporates the Destined Death skill and gains power from holy buffs and talismans.

Developments

Daniel demonstrates builds, buffs, and combat tests for recommended Elden Ring weapons ahead of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC release.

Uncertainties & gaps

Whether the moving appendages on the Blasphemous Blade are small arms or worm-like structures.

Why backstab damage with the Misericorde decreased to around 4,400 to 4,500 on one attempt, and why specific backstab attempts failed despite standing directly behind the target.
