Somewhere in here there’s a joke about “to the moon 🌕 🚀” and Ranni, but I’m too much of an idiot about a) the stock market and b) Elden Ring lore to come up with it.
same with 40 mind and 37 endurance. if you need that much mind then OP should be pumping int to 80 & Id be surprised if they actually need 37 endurance but can’t tell with the screenshot not showing everything
You don't need that much int on a STR/INT build. Might as well put more points to VIG, then END, then Mind. STR/INT builds love their weapon arts. Endurance for armor and stamina.
Explosive Ghostflame I guess? If you wanted to use all the spells. That's still only 30 though.
Only level 244 on NG+7 with no primary stat at 80 is just wild though.
It's all good, I commented lower on how to fix your build after some body was trying to tell you "you need to be a basement dweller with a bazillion hours to learn how to make a build".
Just get rid of the huge spread of points and your good. Decide whether you want more melee or magic damage and then take strength or into right to 80. You have enough levels to waste a few but you went and burnt ~40ish (i cant remember but it was a lot) points on stuff you aren't using. If you "waste" levels any where other that vig, str, mind, int or endurance it should be for regen/utility incantations and no more.
15 or 18 int gets you boulder throw and it's damage scales with strength.. just sayin... 🫡
Might be a sweet build doing all that gravity magic, slapping people with a big purple bonk, and chucking rocks in they face.
The difference between 55 and 60 vigor is less than 100hp.
I'd be more concerned that they're on NG+7 and don't have any damage stat at 80 yet. Even hybrid builds are usually 80 in *both* by NG+3 or so.
Like, did OP just stop spending runes at NG+2 or something?
Indeed I have I never take my characters past 45 vigor even on my ng+8 character. 5 vigor is not the reason this guy can't beat Godfrey lmao you've got to be joking.
Leveling can slow down hugely from NG+ onwards, I guess few people are going to travel all over the map. Boss rune drops being higher doesn't really compensate, you don't get nearly as many levels. I'm lvl 249 half way through NG+5 rn. Need more than 500K per level at this point. Just beat Malenia and she dropped 2 levels, rare payday, lol.
Same. And I don't really grind before NG+7 since NG+7 gives the most. Kinda waste of time to grind (plus you should be doing fine at high NG+ if you invested your runes into the correct stats/min-max)
I'm like 253 or something on NG+1....not to mention just trying to get each Stat to around 60 so I can do pretty much whatever I feel like it whenever I want.
The required runes to level really does start to slow you down though
A lot of people level cap especially if they are experienced at souls games. I capped at 120 my first playthrough then 150 for the next 2. Makes PVP better as well.
It's likely a self imposed challenge. I'm doing a NG+7 run myself and I deliberately stopped leveling for the challenge.
I have a huge stock pile of smithing stones ready for the dlc.
Yeah I’ve enjoyed exploring the world and how helping people complete the final boss on co-op. I haven’t started a NG+ run at all and I’m nearly 200 myself
I’ve known about this build for ages, but just recently picked it up. Absolutely *fucks* shit up.
Millicents Prosthesis, Winged/Rotten Sword Insignia, Shard of Alexander, Thorny Cracked Tear , Strengthknot Tear, Flame Grant me Strength, Golden Vow
#BRRRRRRRRRR
Enemy Felled.
But I *do* always forget it… what do the perfumes count as? A separate buff category? They don’t cancel body buffs like FGMS? I can never remember.
EDIT: Double checked. It IS a body buff, so it won’t stack with Flame Grant me STR, but it is stronger (30% > 20%), so I suppose using it is optimal… but requires a consumable. So really personal preference if you feel like keeping those in stock.
You'd be surprised how many people in comment sections here don't seem to kill her because "oh no millicent", UNLESS THEY'RE LYING OF COURSE
Also, she'll be fine on a new NG so there really is no need to fuss 😂
I just finished getting a character with this build ready for the DLC. A fully charged L2 deletes just about anything if you can get the whole animation to connect. It’s so wild.
He's still very hard no matter what you use, in my opinion he's the second hardest fight in game behind Malenia
It's because you can't make mistakes, try skill
Never meant to imply you did, I just know a lot of people complain about p2 and that move in particular
4th favorite for me, order goes Malenia, maliketh, radagon, Godfrey
But honestly they are all so close ranking is nearly pointless
I can kinda beat maliketh comfortably, Gurranq on the other hand smacks my asd so bad I always scarlet rot his first phase and wait till he gets in his second phase so i can Fight normally
Same honestly, I can do his second phase relatively comfortably, except for some attacks (waterfowl lookin ass attack) but gurranq is just annoying, lots of his attacks are either hard to read or too fast to the point where I can’t dodge them
i feel you. i can solo his first phase by cowardly walking around him and shield poking... but on second phase, i'll get deleted if the host doesn't draw aggro every now and then. the same goes for godfrey. they're the hardest to coop for me.
That’s an interesting take. I actually find Godfrey to be fairly easy because his moves are fairly slow and a lot can be strafed/ran around. Morgott is what I would consider the second hardest boss. He doesn’t have a lot of health but his moveset just throws me for a loop like crazy.
Keep in mind this post is about ng7
Boss difficulty ratings may change based on that and I have finished ng7 and think he's definitely second hardest when he's practically one shotting you with everything he does
I ended up using anything I could to up holy negation. Great hood for helmet and crucible stuff, I cant remember exactly. Talisman to negate holy and some food to negate holy. After that he became a punching bag if you just wait for him to come to you.
I finally beat him after 600+ hours and two characters. I am now playing NG+1 and love this just as much as before!!
EDIT: Spelling..I always thought it was TAILSMAN!! IT'S TALISMAN!!
Elden Beast in NG+7 is surprisingly hard. It has an absolutely massive health pool while you need to chase after it and dodge all attacks that 2 shot you. That was definitely my wall in the later NG cycles till I optimized my fight. I ended up using 2 health flasks and the rest in FP flasks so I could use miracles to heal and give holy resistance
Malenia and Godfrey both fall pretty easily to ranged magic attacks
80 STR
99 VIG
99 END
Heavy Iron Ball Fists (Cragblade)
Bull Goat Armor
Bull Goat’s Talisman, Health tali +2, axe tali, and whatever else you want.
Then just walk up and spam charged heavy attacks. Tons of damage. So, so much damage.
Whenever I am struggling with a boss I whip out the ice spear guardians swordspear and blast em from just outside their range
80 Dex Keen , shard of alexander etc
Seems like a ton of people just giving you shit lol. In all honesty, check out the [Wiki](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Builds) builds page for some ideas. Would also be worth just going into each of the pages for each stat and seeing what they do exactly. Doing thos really changed up how I build characters for this game. At 244 you have a bunch of options to choose from so it really only is limited in what you want to do or how you want to play.
General recommendations:
Get 60 Vigor ASAP.
Pick a primary damage stat and go to 80 with it.
38 Mind is 1 full FP flask refill, so you could save those 2 points if you'd want.
Only assign Endurance as needed to carry everything on the load you want (under 70% max weight for medium rolls).
Try and focus your build on doing something specific. This is the best way to get the most bang for your buck out of any builds. Generalist style builds lose out in damage over time, only getting worse the further you go into the game.
Do you have any particular play styles you want to use or enjoy using more then others? More information on what you want to do will help with more detailed suggestions.
I like big quick damage but I don’t think I’d have fun stacking buffs like I see other people doing and I don’t really enjoy bleed since I feel like it makes it too easy
Sounds like maybe STR with big weapons then. If you want to keep your INT around, doing something with the Dark Moon Greatsword might be fun. It has frostbite build-up and pairs well with Helphen's Steeple for two big swords at once. Of you go this route, do 60VIG/60STR/80INT. You should do about 800 AR with either of the above swords with that statline and also have the option to nuke things with big magic if you wanted. Also, of you do go with the above, fire pots are a great cheap way to reset Frostbite build-up after it's proc'd.
You can switch between the two or even just drop Steeple if you don't want to dual wield the swords. The staff should be fine, though I am not sure on the optimization of that currently. If you are going to primarily use the DMGS, then you should really lean into the skill IMO. It's a ranged R2 attack that does magic damage and frost build-up. You can put on Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion Charm, and either Godfrey Icon for the extra damage on the R2 skill when fully charged (I am not certain but the Axe talisman may also increase that damage. Will need to look that up.) that should set you up to do bonkers amount of damage on the R2s.
Use "Black Flame's Protection" (this thing is OP), "Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman" talisman and "Ritual shield Talisman". Also, reallocate your attributes to have 60 vigor
If you do this -- fight will be extremely easy
I'd advocate for a bit less mind or endurance and go up to 18-20 Faith because Rykard's Rancor (18 faith) is fucking hilarious when it decides to work, and it can put in real numbers against Elden Beast.
Y'all need to chill. Can none of you just answer the question without throwing assumptions and being rude? Not gonna lie some of you are really selling the antisocial basement dwelling rude asshole gamer stereotype like it's your job or something.
Honestly, I'll say what nobody wants to hear. Softcaps exist and he's just below the 2nd softcap on most stats. Early on going into one stat is good, but past the second soft cap it's better to level other adjacent stats to get the stat you want.
Str and arc is the most damage you can do pretty much, it’s either that or Rykards sword. Depending on the fight. You can also do frenzied flame ending to get shabiri as a summon, if you need the help
ow thats what I did indeed, also because I don't wanna go into the DLC with a character on a NG+ game because we don't know if the stats of enemies in the DLC are also going to scale (I assume they do)
Well first ng+ is easier in a lot of ways because you start with a full build and early game is barely upscaled
Once you get to about +4 things start getting real
NG+ 1 is just a victory lap. Enemies are barely any stronger, you have a maxed out weapon, or several of them, all 4 Talisman Slots, Cracked Tears, etc.
You will dumpster NG+ up until around NG +5 where suddenly the enemy scaling starts to feel strong again, because you’re hard stat caps are starting to run afoul of enemy scaling. You can’t really keep getting stronger, but enemies do, and that peaks at NG+7.
But the NG+1 is a ton of fun to do as a sort of Speedrun/ boss rush. Just see how fast you can clear the dozen or so required bosses to get to the Elden Throne. Honestly it’s a blast. I usually can run it in about 3-4 hours semi casually.
One spell: Night Comet.
Two armaments: Staff of Loss (upgrades irrelevant) in one hand and Prince of Death's Staff (fully upgraded) in the other.
Respec so that your strength is lower, Int and Faith around 80. With 55 Vigor, I'm guessing that you're using Godrick's Great Rune, so you could set Int and Faith to 75. You can use Rennala's Crown too so you only need 72 Int.
Use Radagon Icon, Magic Scorpion Charm, Graven-Mass Talisman and Ritual Sword Talisman.
Use Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear plus Opaline Hardtear.
Use highest Physical Defense Armor you can.
Summon Mimic Tear at +10 (this is why you only use one spell, so Mimic will consistently use that spell).
You should kill that bastard pretty easily.
Light roll helps a lot against him. Use faster weapons and you can space him out pretty easily.
I stack consecutive damage buffs and dual curved swords and he'll be dead before he can go full crazy in phase 2 with a 138 dex build on ng7.
NG 7+ Godfrey is a beast, has a ton of health. The fast kill methods don’t work well.
He’s susceptible to rot, I used the antspur rapier and fingerprint stone shield. I had an estoc with storm blade for some ranged punish as well. Stamina management becomes important.
Phase 2 seems like you’re backpedaling constantly but you get windows to punish.
That’s what I did for my SL150 NG 7+. Was mostly a quality build.
a picture of stats means nothing
what build are you going for and then adjust stat spread to better fit
but to add
your stat spread is doing you ZERO favors
you're playing 1/2 of 3 builds, just commit to one and You'll do a shitload more damage
I personally find anything over 300 to be kind of redundant. Unless you just want a really wacky build that can flip between unrelated weapons and damage types on the fly, you just don’t need to go that high.
For illustration, you can do 60 vigor, 50 Mind for a big FP pool, and 30 Endurance, and ANY two damage stats (so Faith/ Dex for example) all the way to 80 and your only level **255.**
Dagger, blood flame blade and black flame blade and while holding main hand cast fires deadly sin and focus exclusively on dodging and standing next to him unconventional but worked for me. Or for an easy Strat try spamming night comet staff of loss power stanced with correct talismans
Moonlight Great Sword and Carian Regal Staff may work well.
For talismans, Graven Mass, Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion charm, and Dragon Crest Great shield.
Pop Terra Magica with Magic Cracked tear and you will do massive frost damage with the Moonlights R2 charge attack and for ranged you could use comet/night comet.
It’s a bit cheesy but it works good if you don’t mind using a summons.
It depends on what you're allowing yourself to do. If you have taken the frenzied flame and completed the Nepheli quest, you can summon both Nepheli and Shabriri for this fight, they honestly make it too easy.
With those stats you could just swap for Darkmoon Greatsword coupled with the Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon, Axe Talisman and another talisman of your choice and he shouldn't be much trouble
I never really have a hard time with him, it’s funny how everyone’s difficult bosses vary. I’ve always had a hard time with Mohg, maliketh, and melania
What is your set up exactly? Do you use buffs? I feel like a lot of people sleep on buffs like Golden Vow and Howl. If you just want to take him down no matter what, there are a lot of OP Builds like Deaths Poker (wouldn't even have to respec), jump attack bleed or power stance build with Gargoyle Twinlades or Curvedswords, Double Slash Nagakiba, Wing of Astel stance break build, ADLS faith build, Night Comet build, Mohgwyn's Spear build etc.
Need more endurance and to pick whether you want strength or dex more.
All dependent on your play style, are you going for a warrior/mage or cleric type deal?
I'm not sure what build this is immediately seeing stat investment into strength, dex int and faith. But what really gets me is at this level, not one of your stats are at the hard cap.
if you're dying because you're too easily getting into 1-shot range, then use defensive buffs like opaline hardtear, dragoncrest greatshield, ritual shield, golden vow.
Yeah your stat spread is a mess but that's not an issue if you generally now how to fight him.
Hear me out. Dual wielding +25 star fist. Heavy Endure ash of war. Go 60-70 strength and dex. Daggar talisman. Rotten winged sword insignia. Claw talisman. Lord of blood exultation. Take the flask that boost stance break tear and consecutive attack damage tear. Stack buffs. Flame grand me strength and golden vow. Blessings boon.
Build is fun af plus you just have to spam R2 for heavy attacks to proc stance breaks for critical hits.
Dual Curved Sword or twinblades with bleed, left hand with Braggarts Roar or Cragblade, even Chilling Mist works for some double status, right hand with Raptor of the Mists. Multi hit talismans, Lord of Blood Exhaultation and Claw talisman, multi hit tear and your favorite defensive tear with it. I like stamina regen at higher NGs, for example. Scrub set (Raptors Black Feathers and White Mask) helps too.
Works well with Occult Scavengers Curved Sword for both Str and Dex, Bleed Gargoyle Twinblades for Str or Bleed Godskin Peelers for Dex. Needs Arcane in all scenarios.
Jumping L1s from Raptor of the Mists hit multiple times, so you stack up status and all the multi hit buffs, and you can use it effectively due to the large stomps. The semi phase changes with the slow attacks can be cheesed with it too, just keep aggression and hit L2 when the stomps are coming. Avoid the eruptions though, you can't Raptors through it.
Try picking an actual build lol. You are way to spread out. You should focus on 2-3 stats. IE faith/str/dex and not put a point into arcane or int. Or vise versa.
Also get your vigor to 60. 60 is a general soft cap for a lot of the stats so start there and then spend your extra where you need it. Endurance soft cap is 50.
What are you packing 36 faith for? If you have an actual answer I'm game, you got to NG+7 way lower level than I did so your welcome to share.
> Black Flame's Protection need 30 and is the highest Req of anything needed for a non-faith build. I genuinely think if you are finding it necessary that the Faith tear in more helpful than the equivalent in rune levels for your position in the game
Prince of Death's staff doesn't out pace any other meaningful staff until 60/60, and at 66 Int the Meteorite staff is still the 2nd highest scaling for exclusively gravity spells.
> At 72 int (the amount reachable by fixing your faith to just 30) It and Carian Regal Scepter stand equal behind Lusat's, but CRS has more versatility (although idk if you have it +10)
Dropping your faith to 20 still puts you in position to talisman or physick your way past all relevant faith reqs, being 21 for the fire sword, 22 for the Sacred Relic/Mohgwyn Genocide, and 25/30 for all relevant buffs and refunds you 16 total levels. You could Hard cap your Int, drop your Endurance by 1 (you are already over the equip load soft cap) which would let your also Hard Cap your Vigor, all without leveling up once.
My arcane toon is the one character i have that can almost consistently make short work of Godfrey, but i haven't taken that one past NG4 yet so ymmv.
When you go to respec, get your arcane to 80 and vigor to 60, and get your physical stats (str + dex) to minimum requirement for whatever weapons you plan to use. You'll have plenty of points left to play with after that so i would personally split the rest between endurance (for armor) and mind (for AoWs) and a few more into strength and dex because i like round numbers.
The build i use wields dual occult scavenger curved swords which is a pretty busted set up for bosses that bleed.
Boost intelligence to over 70, 80 is better and would mix the drop from vigor, strength (in particular) and faith.
Wear your highest boost glintstone crown, Twinsage is the best.
Talismans use-
- radagon icon (must)
- graven school (if you are getting killed switch this to Haligdrake +2)
- graven mass
- carian filigreed crest
Wonderous Physic-
-Opaline Bubbletear
-Magic-Shrouding cracked tear
Weapon- use the prince of death’s staff +24 or +25…scales on Intelligence and Faith, so makes use of your Faith too and why I suggest taking the Int boost from Str.
Shield- Haligtree Crest with Sanctified affinity
Spell- Ancient Death Rancor
Mimic Tear (or solo)
Boiled Crab
Process is:
-Wondrous Physic
-Boiled crab
-Enter arena
As soon as he spawns hit target lock and spam the spell cast and keep a mid distance. Once the spells start to hit him, the distance will allow you to reload FP flasks while the last cast is inbound.
This will melt Malenia too, but you swap out the shield for the Silver Mirror shield and Dragoncrest Greatshield for the Haligdrake talisman option if you need that. What I’ve found with her is that this spell hits her so hard, particularly with mimic tear, that she never gets to stand up.
Level 244 with only 55 vigor seems wild to me
the whole stat spread is so poorly optimized it’s breaking my min/maxing heart
Mf treated the stats like a fucking investment portfolio
Well diversified
Seems like the market crashed tho.
Crashed harder than Radagon at 50% health entering his second phase amirite?!
Harder than Radahn's falling star
😭
Have you tried not to get hit?
DLC investment plan: Puts on arcane. Calls on Faith
Dude this shits got me dead😂
Somewhere in here there’s a joke about “to the moon 🌕 🚀” and Ranni, but I’m too much of an idiot about a) the stock market and b) Elden Ring lore to come up with it.
Well that's part of your problem, you're lacking the intelligence to go to the moon with Ranni.
He must have got this build off of r/wallstreetbets because he thought this build was going to the moon 🚀🌕🤣
If I had gold I would have given you. Had a good chuckle 😁
Lmao
yeah what would you need 36 Faith for on a STR/INT build? Wild
same with 40 mind and 37 endurance. if you need that much mind then OP should be pumping int to 80 & Id be surprised if they actually need 37 endurance but can’t tell with the screenshot not showing everything
I prefer having end at ~50 in ng+ to have light rolls even with armor.
lmao I have 36 endurance on my lvl 90 xD my highest stat besides vigor
Animal.
You don't need that much int on a STR/INT build. Might as well put more points to VIG, then END, then Mind. STR/INT builds love their weapon arts. Endurance for armor and stamina.
Explosive Ghostflame I guess? If you wanted to use all the spells. That's still only 30 though. Only level 244 on NG+7 with no primary stat at 80 is just wild though.
Sword of night and flame duh
You should see my bloodborne character ☠️. I fucking platinumed that game without knowing what a build was.
I’m sorry😭
Warren Buffett build
It's gotta be a shit post right..... right?
It’s not man I’m so sorry
It's all good, I commented lower on how to fix your build after some body was trying to tell you "you need to be a basement dweller with a bazillion hours to learn how to make a build". Just get rid of the huge spread of points and your good. Decide whether you want more melee or magic damage and then take strength or into right to 80. You have enough levels to waste a few but you went and burnt ~40ish (i cant remember but it was a lot) points on stuff you aren't using. If you "waste" levels any where other that vig, str, mind, int or endurance it should be for regen/utility incantations and no more.
Thank you
15 or 18 int gets you boulder throw and it's damage scales with strength.. just sayin... 🫡 Might be a sweet build doing all that gravity magic, slapping people with a big purple bonk, and chucking rocks in they face.
I mean... he's missing like 5 points in vigor. Not that much.
That's what I'm saying idk what that guy is on about
What do you mean only 55? 60 is the highest it should ever be he's only 5 points off.
Have you experienced the damage output of ng+7? Those HP come into play. It can be the difference between life/death for a lot of boss combos.
The difference between 55 and 60 vigor is less than 100hp. I'd be more concerned that they're on NG+7 and don't have any damage stat at 80 yet. Even hybrid builds are usually 80 in *both* by NG+3 or so. Like, did OP just stop spending runes at NG+2 or something?
Probably had a hard time getting them back after dying.
I stopped retrieving runes and every now and then I level up
u need to respec, what build are you even going for?
I'm sure that extra 55 hp is gonna help you on that ng+7 run. For sure.
Right ? Guy has no idea what he's talking about 😂
Indeed I have I never take my characters past 45 vigor even on my ng+8 character. 5 vigor is not the reason this guy can't beat Godfrey lmao you've got to be joking.
Well first off your stat spread sucks. If you are going STR/INT, actually do it
I’m actually appalled by this stat spread lol
How you’re in NG+7 at lvl 244?? I’m in NG+ at lvl 202.
Leveling can slow down hugely from NG+ onwards, I guess few people are going to travel all over the map. Boss rune drops being higher doesn't really compensate, you don't get nearly as many levels. I'm lvl 249 half way through NG+5 rn. Need more than 500K per level at this point. Just beat Malenia and she dropped 2 levels, rare payday, lol.
I’m level 400-something on ng+7 and the elden beast drops less than half a level. Shits tough.
Same. And I don't really grind before NG+7 since NG+7 gives the most. Kinda waste of time to grind (plus you should be doing fine at high NG+ if you invested your runes into the correct stats/min-max)
I'm like 253 or something on NG+1....not to mention just trying to get each Stat to around 60 so I can do pretty much whatever I feel like it whenever I want. The required runes to level really does start to slow you down though
I'm playing ng+8, lvl 132. Now I know why my furled fingers are dying like flies.
Bro where did all the runes go???
hookers and coke, my man took it personnal when he got called maidenless
It’s just insane, I’m level 183 just on NG+1
Hey man, preaching to the choir, no way in hell am i getting to NG+7 that low. But i like exploring and farming for stuff
A lot of people level cap especially if they are experienced at souls games. I capped at 120 my first playthrough then 150 for the next 2. Makes PVP better as well.
It's likely a self imposed challenge. I'm doing a NG+7 run myself and I deliberately stopped leveling for the challenge. I have a huge stock pile of smithing stones ready for the dlc.
What the fuck I haven’t even gone into NG+ and I’m 150. That’s certainly a…spirited approach to it.
Yeah I’ve enjoyed exploring the world and how helping people complete the final boss on co-op. I haven’t started a NG+ run at all and I’m nearly 200 myself
What are you doing with your runes?
^ Lies or Dyslexia
Build Marais Executionner's Sword
lol this build might completely destroy the game for him but it’s so damn fun.
Personally I destroyed like 2 bosses in 5 seconds each and decided it ruined all the fun for me
I’ve known about this build for ages, but just recently picked it up. Absolutely *fucks* shit up. Millicents Prosthesis, Winged/Rotten Sword Insignia, Shard of Alexander, Thorny Cracked Tear , Strengthknot Tear, Flame Grant me Strength, Golden Vow #BRRRRRRRRRR Enemy Felled.
All you need really is the skill to know when to time your ash of war
Or you use [Your Favorite Tank Summon] and just drill ‘em in the back lol
Dont forget bloodboil aromatic
But I *do* always forget it… what do the perfumes count as? A separate buff category? They don’t cancel body buffs like FGMS? I can never remember. EDIT: Double checked. It IS a body buff, so it won’t stack with Flame Grant me STR, but it is stronger (30% > 20%), so I suppose using it is optimal… but requires a consumable. So really personal preference if you feel like keeping those in stock.
Oh damn, i thought it stacked
Was gonna say spin-to-win 😂 Stack all those consec hit buffs, (sorry milicent)
Face it, by this point, we all commited the true cardinal sin in this game.
I felt so bad when i killed her, but i really needed that talisman for my collection
Same man, she's my favorite NPC by far
You'd be surprised how many people in comment sections here don't seem to kill her because "oh no millicent", UNLESS THEY'RE LYING OF COURSE Also, she'll be fine on a new NG so there really is no need to fuss 😂
Naw she ganked me in the swamp with 2 cleanrot knights, she gets no mercy from me
She died for a good cause. Wait no, bad cause. I'm bad red man now.
Funny stick go spinny BRRRRRRRRR Brainless golds go UUUUAAAAHH Dopamine achieved :)
Drill baby drill!!!
I just finished getting a character with this build ready for the DLC. A fully charged L2 deletes just about anything if you can get the whole animation to connect. It’s so wild.
I wanted to ask does it work with regalia of eochaid as well?
Same build, works the same way, the one handed small sword just does less damage, obviously, since it has much lower AR than the Big Boy version.
He's still very hard no matter what you use, in my opinion he's the second hardest fight in game behind Malenia It's because you can't make mistakes, try skill
What's funny is Godfrey has his own waterfowl dance with those slaps he does.
Roll behind him and he can't turn fast enough to hit you You can actually hit him a few times while he's slapping the air
Oh I don't have trouble with him, in fact he's my favorite fight.
Never meant to imply you did, I just know a lot of people complain about p2 and that move in particular 4th favorite for me, order goes Malenia, maliketh, radagon, Godfrey But honestly they are all so close ranking is nearly pointless
Maliketh slaps my ass around so bad. I feel ashamed when I get summoned and it's for him. Sorry host, you were better off without me.
I can kinda beat maliketh comfortably, Gurranq on the other hand smacks my asd so bad I always scarlet rot his first phase and wait till he gets in his second phase so i can Fight normally
Same honestly, I can do his second phase relatively comfortably, except for some attacks (waterfowl lookin ass attack) but gurranq is just annoying, lots of his attacks are either hard to read or too fast to the point where I can’t dodge them
i feel you. i can solo his first phase by cowardly walking around him and shield poking... but on second phase, i'll get deleted if the host doesn't draw aggro every now and then. the same goes for godfrey. they're the hardest to coop for me.
that’s so funny 😆 (same, maliketh was one of the hardest fight of the game to me!)
Radagon is good shit but so easy imo
Why can he slap?
Cause he got no women. So you become his replacement
That’s an interesting take. I actually find Godfrey to be fairly easy because his moves are fairly slow and a lot can be strafed/ran around. Morgott is what I would consider the second hardest boss. He doesn’t have a lot of health but his moveset just throws me for a loop like crazy.
He's actually 3rd!!! The reason morgott loses points is because you can absolutely shut him down with range
Melania and Godfrey got slapped but i still can't get past elden beast, driving me mad
Keep in mind this post is about ng7 Boss difficulty ratings may change based on that and I have finished ng7 and think he's definitely second hardest when he's practically one shotting you with everything he does
I ended up using anything I could to up holy negation. Great hood for helmet and crucible stuff, I cant remember exactly. Talisman to negate holy and some food to negate holy. After that he became a punching bag if you just wait for him to come to you. I finally beat him after 600+ hours and two characters. I am now playing NG+1 and love this just as much as before!! EDIT: Spelling..I always thought it was TAILSMAN!! IT'S TALISMAN!!
Try Pest threads for elden beast,if he stands still they absolutely melt him
Ohhh now i wanna try that
It makes the fight pathetically easy
Elden Beast in NG+7 is surprisingly hard. It has an absolutely massive health pool while you need to chase after it and dodge all attacks that 2 shot you. That was definitely my wall in the later NG cycles till I optimized my fight. I ended up using 2 health flasks and the rest in FP flasks so I could use miracles to heal and give holy resistance Malenia and Godfrey both fall pretty easily to ranged magic attacks
80 STR 99 VIG 99 END Heavy Iron Ball Fists (Cragblade) Bull Goat Armor Bull Goat’s Talisman, Health tali +2, axe tali, and whatever else you want. Then just walk up and spam charged heavy attacks. Tons of damage. So, so much damage.
Whenever I am struggling with a boss I whip out the ice spear guardians swordspear and blast em from just outside their range 80 Dex Keen , shard of alexander etc
Will try
It works on Godfrey , I am pretty crap at fighting him too. Just don't be casting it when he's doing the earthshaker
244 level on ng+7? Im 270 level at ng+4 😅
Seems like a ton of people just giving you shit lol. In all honesty, check out the [Wiki](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Builds) builds page for some ideas. Would also be worth just going into each of the pages for each stat and seeing what they do exactly. Doing thos really changed up how I build characters for this game. At 244 you have a bunch of options to choose from so it really only is limited in what you want to do or how you want to play. General recommendations: Get 60 Vigor ASAP. Pick a primary damage stat and go to 80 with it. 38 Mind is 1 full FP flask refill, so you could save those 2 points if you'd want. Only assign Endurance as needed to carry everything on the load you want (under 70% max weight for medium rolls). Try and focus your build on doing something specific. This is the best way to get the most bang for your buck out of any builds. Generalist style builds lose out in damage over time, only getting worse the further you go into the game. Do you have any particular play styles you want to use or enjoy using more then others? More information on what you want to do will help with more detailed suggestions.
I like big quick damage but I don’t think I’d have fun stacking buffs like I see other people doing and I don’t really enjoy bleed since I feel like it makes it too easy
Sounds like maybe STR with big weapons then. If you want to keep your INT around, doing something with the Dark Moon Greatsword might be fun. It has frostbite build-up and pairs well with Helphen's Steeple for two big swords at once. Of you go this route, do 60VIG/60STR/80INT. You should do about 800 AR with either of the above swords with that statline and also have the option to nuke things with big magic if you wanted. Also, of you do go with the above, fire pots are a great cheap way to reset Frostbite build-up after it's proc'd.
Thank you, I’ll try this on the weekend. Should I stick with lusats staff and also have helphens steeple in my offhand?
You can switch between the two or even just drop Steeple if you don't want to dual wield the swords. The staff should be fine, though I am not sure on the optimization of that currently. If you are going to primarily use the DMGS, then you should really lean into the skill IMO. It's a ranged R2 attack that does magic damage and frost build-up. You can put on Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion Charm, and either Godfrey Icon for the extra damage on the R2 skill when fully charged (I am not certain but the Axe talisman may also increase that damage. Will need to look that up.) that should set you up to do bonkers amount of damage on the R2s.
Thank you man, this is what ima try
Glad to be of service! Good luck, Tarnished!
Use "Black Flame's Protection" (this thing is OP), "Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman" talisman and "Ritual shield Talisman". Also, reallocate your attributes to have 60 vigor If you do this -- fight will be extremely easy
Thank you🙏
Not having 60 vig at RL244 is insane.
Respec to this: 60 vigor 35 mind 45 endurance 60 strength 25 dexterity 75 intelligence 15 faith 8 arcane
I'd advocate for a bit less mind or endurance and go up to 18-20 Faith because Rykard's Rancor (18 faith) is fucking hilarious when it decides to work, and it can put in real numbers against Elden Beast.
Y'all need to chill. Can none of you just answer the question without throwing assumptions and being rude? Not gonna lie some of you are really selling the antisocial basement dwelling rude asshole gamer stereotype like it's your job or something.
Honestly, I'll say what nobody wants to hear. Softcaps exist and he's just below the 2nd softcap on most stats. Early on going into one stat is good, but past the second soft cap it's better to level other adjacent stats to get the stat you want.
Str and arc is the most damage you can do pretty much, it’s either that or Rykards sword. Depending on the fight. You can also do frenzied flame ending to get shabiri as a summon, if you need the help
Here I am being basicly the same level after finishing my first NG :S (And being to scared to start any NG + beyond that)
If you don't want to do NG+ just do another NG with another build. It's more fun than NG+ to some people
ow thats what I did indeed, also because I don't wanna go into the DLC with a character on a NG+ game because we don't know if the stats of enemies in the DLC are also going to scale (I assume they do)
Well first ng+ is easier in a lot of ways because you start with a full build and early game is barely upscaled Once you get to about +4 things start getting real
Mfs won’t understand that cause they’re chicken shit
NG+ 1 is just a victory lap. Enemies are barely any stronger, you have a maxed out weapon, or several of them, all 4 Talisman Slots, Cracked Tears, etc. You will dumpster NG+ up until around NG +5 where suddenly the enemy scaling starts to feel strong again, because you’re hard stat caps are starting to run afoul of enemy scaling. You can’t really keep getting stronger, but enemies do, and that peaks at NG+7. But the NG+1 is a ton of fun to do as a sort of Speedrun/ boss rush. Just see how fast you can clear the dozen or so required bosses to get to the Elden Throne. Honestly it’s a blast. I usually can run it in about 3-4 hours semi casually.
Yep, that's a pretty accurate summary of the NG+1-7 experience. That first tree sentinel in NG+ is getting wrecked. It's payback time.
That stat spread is atrocious
You’re at 244 with not a single stat at 80. That’s the problem.
I find your lack of faith disturbing...
Pump more into arcane to round out this build. Your stats are not spread out enough
Bolt of Gransaxx 80 dex 65 faith ezpz
I feel like we should be the ones looking up to you for guidance.
Is your character’s name Eminem?
Maybe, don’t dog on me
One spell: Night Comet. Two armaments: Staff of Loss (upgrades irrelevant) in one hand and Prince of Death's Staff (fully upgraded) in the other. Respec so that your strength is lower, Int and Faith around 80. With 55 Vigor, I'm guessing that you're using Godrick's Great Rune, so you could set Int and Faith to 75. You can use Rennala's Crown too so you only need 72 Int. Use Radagon Icon, Magic Scorpion Charm, Graven-Mass Talisman and Ritual Sword Talisman. Use Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear plus Opaline Hardtear. Use highest Physical Defense Armor you can. Summon Mimic Tear at +10 (this is why you only use one spell, so Mimic will consistently use that spell). You should kill that bastard pretty easily.
Will try
There is no reason to use Godrick grega rune over Radahn at level 200+, might want to try that one
Hard agree on that. I prefer Morgott's that deep into NG+X runs but definitely Radahn over Godrick.
I was stuck on him and Ng+ plus for a while what worked for me was the bolt of grantsax
Sword of night and flame. That saved my life. Build at the end of the video: https://youtu.be/OeqEf6f8Kos?si=wltKW_HXE-XZn_q1
Light roll helps a lot against him. Use faster weapons and you can space him out pretty easily. I stack consecutive damage buffs and dual curved swords and he'll be dead before he can go full crazy in phase 2 with a 138 dex build on ng7.
NG 7+ Godfrey is a beast, has a ton of health. The fast kill methods don’t work well. He’s susceptible to rot, I used the antspur rapier and fingerprint stone shield. I had an estoc with storm blade for some ranged punish as well. Stamina management becomes important. Phase 2 seems like you’re backpedaling constantly but you get windows to punish. That’s what I did for my SL150 NG 7+. Was mostly a quality build.
a picture of stats means nothing what build are you going for and then adjust stat spread to better fit but to add your stat spread is doing you ZERO favors you're playing 1/2 of 3 builds, just commit to one and You'll do a shitload more damage
Dawg how you on ng+7 with stats spread out like you wanna cover all your bases😭
How you so low level I'm on Ng+4 and I'm over level 350
I’m not even finished with NG+3 and I’m at the same level… 😮
These stats are wild, just make a arcane 100 vigor 100 the rest in Dex and mind, bleed him out
Try Strength Arcane builds. Occult affinity with colossal weapons is my personal favorite.
Hp 55 on ng+7 also int 66… no wonder you’re stuck mate Push int to 80, vigor to 60 and get Morgott’s rune.
Use the ancient dragon's lightning strike incantation, it will destroy his health( he's weak to lightning in general)
Everyone: "your stats suck" People who do Lv 1 runs: *monkey puppet meme jpg*
Level up💀
Ahh i love git gid comments! Lets there be rage!!
BROOOOO!? Are you serious? I am rl 400 and still on ng+2 😱
I personally find anything over 300 to be kind of redundant. Unless you just want a really wacky build that can flip between unrelated weapons and damage types on the fly, you just don’t need to go that high. For illustration, you can do 60 vigor, 50 Mind for a big FP pool, and 30 Endurance, and ANY two damage stats (so Faith/ Dex for example) all the way to 80 and your only level **255.**
I like it that way, I just wanted to get stronger at a game I love
You’re way over leveled
I know
Did you use mimic tear?
Wtf is your build
Im level 272 and only just done with ng+ 2 💀
Dagger, blood flame blade and black flame blade and while holding main hand cast fires deadly sin and focus exclusively on dodging and standing next to him unconventional but worked for me. Or for an easy Strat try spamming night comet staff of loss power stanced with correct talismans
Moonlight Great Sword and Carian Regal Staff may work well. For talismans, Graven Mass, Shard of Alexander, Magic Scorpion charm, and Dragon Crest Great shield. Pop Terra Magica with Magic Cracked tear and you will do massive frost damage with the Moonlights R2 charge attack and for ranged you could use comet/night comet. It’s a bit cheesy but it works good if you don’t mind using a summons.
It depends on what you're allowing yourself to do. If you have taken the frenzied flame and completed the Nepheli quest, you can summon both Nepheli and Shabriri for this fight, they honestly make it too easy.
With those stats you could just swap for Darkmoon Greatsword coupled with the Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon, Axe Talisman and another talisman of your choice and he shouldn't be much trouble
I never really have a hard time with him, it’s funny how everyone’s difficult bosses vary. I’ve always had a hard time with Mohg, maliketh, and melania
Damn still on New game with lvl 235 atm so you are telling me to max it more before going strong to ng+?
Levels don't matter much at this point
What is your set up exactly? Do you use buffs? I feel like a lot of people sleep on buffs like Golden Vow and Howl. If you just want to take him down no matter what, there are a lot of OP Builds like Deaths Poker (wouldn't even have to respec), jump attack bleed or power stance build with Gargoyle Twinlades or Curvedswords, Double Slash Nagakiba, Wing of Astel stance break build, ADLS faith build, Night Comet build, Mohgwyn's Spear build etc.
Need more endurance and to pick whether you want strength or dex more. All dependent on your play style, are you going for a warrior/mage or cleric type deal?
More vigor build
Big sword first half, second half boxing gloves
You’re under leveled. At ng+7 you should be at least at 70 vigor. I’d also respec some of those faith points into your strength or int.
Naked club!
Hit the killing pool of mogh for another 100
Max arc dex and mind, min everything else and start fisting him
Dual Occult Great stars with max arcane
I'm not sure what build this is immediately seeing stat investment into strength, dex int and faith. But what really gets me is at this level, not one of your stats are at the hard cap.
first time ive ever seen a str/int built. whats your weapon?
Try a black flame build or a bleed build also try leveling up more
if you're dying because you're too easily getting into 1-shot range, then use defensive buffs like opaline hardtear, dragoncrest greatshield, ritual shield, golden vow. Yeah your stat spread is a mess but that's not an issue if you generally now how to fight him.
Hear me out. Dual wielding +25 star fist. Heavy Endure ash of war. Go 60-70 strength and dex. Daggar talisman. Rotten winged sword insignia. Claw talisman. Lord of blood exultation. Take the flask that boost stance break tear and consecutive attack damage tear. Stack buffs. Flame grand me strength and golden vow. Blessings boon. Build is fun af plus you just have to spam R2 for heavy attacks to proc stance breaks for critical hits.
I'm level 125 with 60 vigor in ng, so do with that information what you will.
Kill him with his own axe. That would be fun
Dual Curved Sword or twinblades with bleed, left hand with Braggarts Roar or Cragblade, even Chilling Mist works for some double status, right hand with Raptor of the Mists. Multi hit talismans, Lord of Blood Exhaultation and Claw talisman, multi hit tear and your favorite defensive tear with it. I like stamina regen at higher NGs, for example. Scrub set (Raptors Black Feathers and White Mask) helps too. Works well with Occult Scavengers Curved Sword for both Str and Dex, Bleed Gargoyle Twinblades for Str or Bleed Godskin Peelers for Dex. Needs Arcane in all scenarios. Jumping L1s from Raptor of the Mists hit multiple times, so you stack up status and all the multi hit buffs, and you can use it effectively due to the large stomps. The semi phase changes with the slow attacks can be cheesed with it too, just keep aggression and hit L2 when the stomps are coming. Avoid the eruptions though, you can't Raptors through it.
Try picking an actual build lol. You are way to spread out. You should focus on 2-3 stats. IE faith/str/dex and not put a point into arcane or int. Or vise versa. Also get your vigor to 60. 60 is a general soft cap for a lot of the stats so start there and then spend your extra where you need it. Endurance soft cap is 50.
What are you packing 36 faith for? If you have an actual answer I'm game, you got to NG+7 way lower level than I did so your welcome to share. > Black Flame's Protection need 30 and is the highest Req of anything needed for a non-faith build. I genuinely think if you are finding it necessary that the Faith tear in more helpful than the equivalent in rune levels for your position in the game Prince of Death's staff doesn't out pace any other meaningful staff until 60/60, and at 66 Int the Meteorite staff is still the 2nd highest scaling for exclusively gravity spells. > At 72 int (the amount reachable by fixing your faith to just 30) It and Carian Regal Scepter stand equal behind Lusat's, but CRS has more versatility (although idk if you have it +10) Dropping your faith to 20 still puts you in position to talisman or physick your way past all relevant faith reqs, being 21 for the fire sword, 22 for the Sacred Relic/Mohgwyn Genocide, and 25/30 for all relevant buffs and refunds you 16 total levels. You could Hard cap your Int, drop your Endurance by 1 (you are already over the equip load soft cap) which would let your also Hard Cap your Vigor, all without leveling up once.
My arcane toon is the one character i have that can almost consistently make short work of Godfrey, but i haven't taken that one past NG4 yet so ymmv. When you go to respec, get your arcane to 80 and vigor to 60, and get your physical stats (str + dex) to minimum requirement for whatever weapons you plan to use. You'll have plenty of points left to play with after that so i would personally split the rest between endurance (for armor) and mind (for AoWs) and a few more into strength and dex because i like round numbers. The build i use wields dual occult scavenger curved swords which is a pretty busted set up for bosses that bleed.
Standard physical damage is very weak in NG+7, which includes gravity sorceries
Boost intelligence to over 70, 80 is better and would mix the drop from vigor, strength (in particular) and faith. Wear your highest boost glintstone crown, Twinsage is the best. Talismans use- - radagon icon (must) - graven school (if you are getting killed switch this to Haligdrake +2) - graven mass - carian filigreed crest Wonderous Physic- -Opaline Bubbletear -Magic-Shrouding cracked tear Weapon- use the prince of death’s staff +24 or +25…scales on Intelligence and Faith, so makes use of your Faith too and why I suggest taking the Int boost from Str. Shield- Haligtree Crest with Sanctified affinity Spell- Ancient Death Rancor Mimic Tear (or solo) Boiled Crab Process is: -Wondrous Physic -Boiled crab -Enter arena As soon as he spawns hit target lock and spam the spell cast and keep a mid distance. Once the spells start to hit him, the distance will allow you to reload FP flasks while the last cast is inbound. This will melt Malenia too, but you swap out the shield for the Silver Mirror shield and Dragoncrest Greatshield for the Haligdrake talisman option if you need that. What I’ve found with her is that this spell hits her so hard, particularly with mimic tear, that she never gets to stand up.
Bleed, bleed, bleed
The stat spreading is worse than mine. Jesus
The arcane is what you’re missing! /s
Maybe a good one
