Overview
Daniel showcases various Elden Ring builds designed for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, including a strength, dexterity, and faith fire battlemage setup dual-wielding the Blasphemous Blade and Sword of Milos, along with stealth backstab setups, holy builds, frost applications, and fire-infused Eruption skills.
Specific equipment configurations include pairing the Blasphemous Blade and Sword of Milos with talismans such as the Fire Scorpion Charm, Godfrey Icon, Two Fingers Heirloom, and Shard of Alexander, as well as applying Flames of the Redmane or fire affinity and Royal Knight's Resolve to a Misericorde dagger.
Further testing covers a holy build using the Sacred Relic Sword with Wave of Gold, Sacred Blade, or Golden Land; frost buildup via Chilling Mist on a colossal greatsword; and high area-of-effect damage using Eruption with fire affinity on colossal weapons.
During combat testing, Daniel encounters gameplay issues such as character freezing and unintended spell casting, missing a shot, taking a hit from a bowman after defeating an enemy, and subsequently adjusting tactics to two-hand weapons and target the bowman first.

Daniel one-shots an enemy but freezes as if stunned.
An enemy dies, but a bowman hits Daniel before Daniel can move out of the way.
Daniel misses the initial shot against the bowman.
Uncertainties & gaps
The reason why Flames of the Redmane deals higher damage on a Misericorde dagger than on a Colossal Sword is not definitively confirmed, though scaling with faith is suggested as a possibility.
The precise method previously used to hit 8,700 damage with the stealth dagger setup was initially forgotten before recalling oil pots, and achieving 10,000 damage remains uncertain.
The cause of the character freezing or casting an unintended spell following specific button inputs remains unclear to Daniel.
