Elden Ring DLC - 5 Of The Best WEAPONS You DONT Want To Miss! Shadow of the Erdtree

Charge up Palm Blast. Oh,

8,800! Charge up Palm Blast.

8,000 damage! That is insane damage.

Oh my God, I couldn't see how many

numbers, but there's a lot. I nearly

one-shot him. Hello, welcome back to a new

video. So today I want to show you some of

the best new weapon types in Elden Ring

DLC Shadow of the Erdtree. So first of

all, we've got this great katana which is

really cool looking. So it comes

by default with this Ash of War called

Overhead. Damn, my arms look so skinny and

bent and weird looking. I never noticed

how weird my character's body looks

because I'm always wearing armor. So it's

got this overhead slash, which is okay, I

guess. It's not really that amazing

though, so I like to replace it with

something else. I usually go for Piercing

Fang if I'm against the boss. Piercing

Fang works really well against the Messmer

guy boss because I kept doing like these

long-range thrusts. But you got some

pretty cool Ashes of War like put seppuku

onto it. You can do this Divine Beast

Frost Stomp. I got this new one called

Flame Spear, which looks pretty cool. So

put the fire affinity on, put my fire

stuff on. So that's skill boosting, skill

boosting. Put my Fire Scorpion charm onto

it to boost my fire attacks, and then see

what it looks like. So it does like this,

like a thrust. Don't know

how long range it is. Oh, it's pretty long

range. It's like a beam of fire. Look at

that. That is long range. It's like a

sniper beam. It also sets your weapon on

fire, which is pretty cool. Look at that.

I don't know if it does extra fire damage

when it's on fire. So I want to mix my

Wondrous Physick, put the Fire Boost

Physick on it, and I want to get Flame

Flame, Grant Me Strength as well. Boost

all your fire attacks, see how much damage

this thing can do. Drink my flask and also

pop Golden Vow, then I'm

gonna fire snipe these guys. See how much—

I never used this before, by the way.

Let's see how much damage it does. Whoa,

it's okay, I guess.

Yeah, it does like 3k, 2,500.

It's not amazing, but the range— it

might not do the most damage, but the

range on it is pretty cool. Pop your

flask. Let's do some normal attacks

on this guy. Oh my god,

what? I just 2-shot him with

a basic attack. That wasn't even a heavy

attack. Okay, I'll do a heavy attack. Oh,

I hit the wall. Oh, I nearly one-shot him!

Damn, that is a pretty good ability.

Let's see if I can snipe this guy.

Whoa, I would like

the damage to be a bit better, but the

range is so good. It's like, really, that

guy doesn't even know what he's doing. It

looks like Biden just wandering around.

The range is great, it's like a sniper.

Whoa, fire affinity with all the fire

buffs do some insane damage. Oh, I got

Black Knight Greaves. So I've got this

other idea with Royal Knight's Resolve

with fire, and this should buff my next

attack by 80%, but only on basic attacks

because that's all we have now. So start

buffing up, Golden Vow, Flame Grant Me

Strength. Wondrous Flask.

You want to crouch now so you don't get

detected. Go double-handed, Royal Knight's

Resolve, and then— ah, I alerted him. Oh,

5,000 damage, and I poked him off the

edge. And then get this guy. Oh, I just

one-shot him. Okay, put it back on.

Got Smithing Stone.

Too much damage. Oh, one-shot.

It's a bit annoying, got to re-enable it

every attack. One shot with a

light attack, that's crazy.

Oh, I didn't one-shot him. I want to see

how much damage I can do on that guy.

That guy is quite tough, so I want to

charge up a heavy attack. Watch this.

Oh my god, that was half his health!

He's still alive. And a poke, easy.

So yeah, the Great Katana can do some

insane damage. I got 2 of them as well.

Look, I got this Rakshasa's

Great Katana as well, so I can get it out

like this. It looks pretty cool. It's got

this special move where you do these

swipes. I don't really know if that's any

good though. I might try it. So if you

want to know where to get the Great

Katana, you can get it straight away at

the beginning. So you go to Gravesite

Plain, you go up here this road, and you

go to this big lake. In the middle of the

lake there's a sleeping dragon. You don't

have to fight him, and near him there's a

corpse and you just loot it from there.

Okay, on to the next weapon. My favorite

weapon has to be the Dry Leaf Arts.

Really good. You can one-shot loads of

stuff if you put the right affinity and

the right Ashes of War. So it comes by

default with this Palm Blast. And I've

seen other people recommend to use

something else and not use it, but I've

used loads of Ashes of War on the Dry Leaf

Arts. So you can see that you got these—

don't have a huge selection, you've got

some Roars, some Stamps and Stomps, but

the Palm Blast really is the best. And I

find it best with cold or maybe fire.

So to maximize the damage with this build,

you want Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon,

Ritual Sword Talisman, and Fire Scorpion

Charm. And you want some buffs like Flame,

Grant Me Strength is good, Golden Vow is

good.

Oops, it's hard choosing it sometimes.

And your Wondrous Physick, do some insane

damage. I've defeated some of the

Mausoleum bosses just by spamming Palm

Blast over and over again. They can't even

touch me. So you do that and

and you're all buffed up, and then sneak

up on them and then charge up a Palm

Blast. Watch this— 7,000

damage! Did you see that?

7,600 damage! And watch— 5,700!

The damage is insane on this thing, and

that's just your special attack. Watch

your normal attacks.

They can't even move. They get staggered

non-stop just on light attacks. Watch this

heavy attack.

Look at that.

So you can do, um, you can use it as a

one-handed weapon and then use a shield,

or you could use double-handed, and now

you can block. You can block like that.

And it's slightly faster. I mean, it's

quite a lot faster when you're using it as

a twin-bladed double-handed weapon. So

yeah, it's pretty good. You get it from—

you go to this place, Morth Ruins,

and there's an NPC there. You have to do a

special gesture called May the Best Win.

You fight him and then you beat him, and

then you get his clothing. I guess you

just rob his body and make him go naked,

and you take his stuff and you get the Dry

Leaf Arts. Palm Blast has to be the most

OP Ash of War right now. Look at this,

5,000 damage. I'm not even fully buffed.

It takes some time to charge up, but you

can just start charging it and they can't

really interrupt you. Watch. Oh, I just

blew him off the edge. It's so good.

Watch this, a whole

4,000 damage. Oh, he got

me. Ideally, you want to use the heaviest

armor you can so you can tank all the hits

whilst you're charging up your Palm Blast.

And I Palm Blasted my way through

basically almost all the DLC. If I ever

have trouble with a difficult boss, I

switch to Dry Leaf and I just Palm Blast

spam them with fire. Cold also works

pretty good as well. I'll show you what

it's like with cold. So you go to cold

affinity. Put cold.

Now you build up frostbite, you want to

change your things a little bit. So you

don't want fire anymore, you want

something else. Maybe get the damage

negate thing. There's no cold attack buff,

so you want to keep these the same. And

you want to change your Wondrous Physick

thing to magic damage.

So magic damage, because cold damage is

magic damage. There's no such thing as

frost damage. So you can do cold attacks

now. So do your buffs, Wondrous Flask,

Golden Vow, and then

we're just gonna blast him off the edge

again. It's got quite a good range, so you

can stand here and you can probably get

them. Oh my god, not as much damage as

fire, but you do get some crowd control

like this. Watch. Oh, maybe not

like that. Watch. So you can stun them a

bit more. So they get frostbitten and

then they get really slow. You can also

stagger them faster if you build up

frostbite, so that's pretty good.

Make sure you remember to equip

double-handed so it's faster like that,

build frost much faster. Look at that, it

just destroyed him. And then watch this,

I'll one-shot that guy.

And then I just spam this guy with

frostbites. You can't even move, they

suck. And then like I said earlier,

if you really need it, switch everything

to your heaviest armor. So I always go for

the big fat Lionel's armor, or you can go

for the Armor of Solitude, which looks

less stupid. I like these trousers, Fire

Prelate Greaves, but I don't know where

the rest of the set is. I might change

this one to Solitude. Now that looks a

bit, bit better. Look at that, I look like

an iron robot. So get the smithing stones

and go up here. And now watch this,

you just smack them in the face, freeze

them. Can do some heavy attacks too,

like this. Oh, he 2-shot me! In my heavy

armor. Okay, on to the next weapon because

there's not enough time. I've got these

bear claws. Now I haven't used them yet,

so if you double handle it, then you can

get 2 of them. So I need to go upgrade it,

I guess. I got the bear claws from this

mausoleum. No, not that one. It was, uh,

this one up here. Here, here. Northern

Nameless Mausoleum. It's quite annoying to

get there because you start off here, you

gotta go up here, down there, Down there,

around here, down here, and then jump up

this— what's it called— like a wind

tunnel. Jump up there, it blows you up to

the top, and you get it from here. Okay,

so I finished maxing it out. I got it to

level 10, which is max, I think. So this

weapon has blood buildup. It scales really

well with strength. And, uh,

let me see. Yeah, so it does attacks like

that. It's kind of like bear jumping

slashing, very violent and quick. Brutal

like a bear. It's pretty cool. You do

overhead attacks like that, you've got

heavy attacks, swipes, and then the

special attack, the Ashes of War attack,

is like these big swipes.

Unfortunately, you can't change the Ashes

of War on it, so you're kind of stuck with

what you get. You can't even put an

affinity on it, so it's not great. But I

guess we can try it out. So buff up

myself. Why can't I?

Uh, whoops, wrong button. Why is it

attacking like that? Press the wrong

button. Okay, whatever. So I'll just

attack him with the— oh, oh wow, it did

quite a lot of damage for one hit. Why

does this guy just sit here doing nothing?

Look. Oh my God, someone behind me.

That's not very nice. Hmm, maybe we try

that again this time. Actually, I don't

know why my buff I couldn't switch out.

Okay, there we go. Buff it up properly,

back to double-handed. See how much damage

it does now. Wow,

it is kind of like Dry Leaf Arts with how

rapid it is. Oh, it's really brutal.

It's like really rapid-fire.

Heavy attacks are pretty good too.

But the Red Bear Hunt ability, I don't

know, not really a fan of that. It's slow,

it doesn't do insane damage, there's no

fire buildup. It is quite good for just

brute strength damage, I guess. We could

try it on, on one of these, see if I can

take him out. And I

guess it's okay.

No, they got me. They didn't do enough

damage. I need more firepower to take them

out before they start whacking me. So

yeah, I'd rate this like a 6.2 out of 10.

The thing that lets it down is how you

can't put an Ash of War on it— onto it,

and Palm Blast is way better than Red Bear

It does weird damage, like it ramps up

instead of doing upfront damage. It's also

kind of stunning it as well.

Oh, it's slightly ranged as well. It's

okay, it's not too bad, I guess.

Oh, what's that? I did a backflip.

Hmm, and then you got some other weapons

like Moonrithil's Nightsword, but I can't

use it. It looks— it was boring. It's just

like a boring magic sword. You got

Rellana's Twinblades. I can't use it, so I

don't have INT. It's another magic and

fire sword. I don't know if it's any good.

Maybe if you buff your magic and fire, I

could do some Good damage, but I don't

have enough INT. Okay, I'll use the

talisman to boost my INT up, see if it's

any good, but I haven't upgraded it, so I

don't know. So it looks like this, and

then you can dual wield it like that, and

then it does this moon and fire stance

which enables magic and fire damage, I

guess. And you do slashes, and then

you can also do fire slashes.

It just seems kind of rubbish. I don't

even want to waste my time on it. And then

you've also got this Blacksteel Great

Hammer, kind of boring, just looted it off

some random trash mob, not very special.

And there's also this other spear thing.

Where is it? So many damn weapons, I can't

find anything. Oh, this Backhand Blade

does like a sidestep. It's kind of boring.

I saw this video where they were going on

and on about how great it was, but It's

really rubbish. I mean, look at it. Look,

it's just 2 stupid little curved blades,

and this is a special attack. Just a

little dash which does no damage, and that

little slash does no damage. It's really

rubbish. I can't decide which is my

favorite. I really like Dry Leaf Arts.

It's really cool, and Palm Blast is so

powerful. But I really like I

really like the Great Katana, to be

honest, with the fire attack. Oh wait, I

just realized there's a way to do even

more damage if you use this armor set. So

this armor set says increases damage dealt

to foes, so I'm going to equip that and

see how much damage— maybe do 8k damage.

Okay, so here's my plan: I put Royal

Knight's Resolve with fire affinity with

Fire Scorpion Charm, Godfrey Icon, Shard

of Alexander, and Ritual Sword Talisman to

boost everything. And I got the Rakshasa's

Armor, which boosts your damage as well.

And we're gonna see— wait, did I put fire

back onto my Wondrous Flask? No, I did

not. Okay, fire back on there, and also

strength. So we're just boosting all our

damage. And buff up. Okay, buff up

Wondrous Flask, Golden Vow,

Flame Give Me Strength.

And then you want to go 2-handed, and then

you want to do Royal Knight's Resolve,

and then you want to sneak up on these

guys and wind up a heavy attack.

What?

5,000? I'm doing something wrong.

Oh my God, what the— oh, he just got

revenge. How did I do 7,600 last time but

this time I only did 5,000? I want to try

this eruption one. Maybe this one does

more damage. Okay, ready to go.

Gonna sneak up, do an Eruption.

Uh, 5k again, not very good.

It's okay, I guess. What if I do Piercing

Fang with everything buffed?

Oh, 6,000! It's more like

it. And then get this guy too.

Oh, he interrupted me. That's pretty good.

Let's try the flame spear again. Maybe

that was the one where I did like 7,000

damage. Oh my god, the range on this

thing's insane. Look at this.

It's not doing great damage though, is it?

I think I wound up a heavy attack. Oh, he

fell off. I think because the sword's on

fire, it did more damage.

Let's do a heavy attack here.

What? Didn't I do 7k damage in

the beginning of the video? I don't

remember how I did it now. It is

a pretty good skill though.

The range is really nice. Oh my god.

Oh, he jumped. Do another one.

Oh, just in time. Oh, he got me. Oh, I

didn't do the 7k damage with the katana.

I did it with Dry Leaf Palm Blast. I did

fire and I just maxed out all my— let's

try it this time with Rakshasa's Armor

because that boosts your Damage. Maybe I

do 8k damage. Okay, buff up.

Flask, Golden Vow,

Flame, grant me strength. You know how you

do even more damage if you chuck an oil

pot? You probably do like 10k damage.

Watch this, watch.

8k damage! 8,200.

Did you see that? Oh,

the fire affinity on it is insane.

Watch this. Oh my God,

Jesus. I can probably just one-shot this

guy, watch, without even healing myself.

Whole 5K. Look at all the piles of wood

falling on top of him. He was like, what

the eff just happened? That is so easy.

Get my runes back. So if you make

some oil pots, oil pots increase the

amount of fire damage enemies take. Maybe

do 10k damage. So it's gonna be kind of

tricky to pull off because I gotta chuck

the oil pot at them and charge up a palm

blast. Without them interrupting me. So

we're gonna buff up, gonna go for Record

Flame, Grant Me Strength— keep

pressing the wrong button— and then Golden

Vow. Get your oil pot ready and

sneak up. So I want to chuck the oil pot

here and then charge up

Palm Blast. Oh, 8,800!

Not quite 10,000 damage, but that's pretty

insane damage. Okay, chuck an oil pot at

him. Charge up Palm Blast.

8,000 damage! That is insane damage.

Chuck an oil pot at him.

Oh, 6,000. Okay, so what I'm gonna do is

chuck an oil pot at And then charge up

Palm Blast now. Oh my god,

I couldn't see how many numbers, but

there's a lot. I nearly one-shot him.
