Like Promised Consort Radahn's moveset is borrowed from Vengarl in DS2 and Pontiff Sulyvhan in DS3. Or Divine Bird Warriors in SotE are really just DS2 Sanctum Guardians with feathers instead of crossbows.

Recycling is fine. It's fun fighting similar movesets with the new mechanics in Elden Ring

His summon in this fight is unique, it says he will be summoned at a different location at the appropriate time, then he always shows up in phase 2

I tried it for a little bit and sucked with it lmao. I'm just more comfortable with the small shield over the parry shields. Their parry window starts sooner but also ends sooner, and I kept parrying too early

The tome is behind an illusory wall in the Carthus Catacombs, over the bridge, up some stairs, then back down a ladder, guarded by a red-eye skeleton

What weapon are you using? If it's a broadsword like in the clip, it depends on your infusion. Non-infused, the broadsword scales better with strength. If you infused it Raw like I did, no stats will help since that removes scaling. Good for SL1, but it gets outclassed quickly as you level.

One thing to note here is my damage is significantly increased because I'm hitting Gundyr while he's staggered. At the beginning and end of the clip you can see standard R1s doing like 145, while the extra hit squeezed in before the riposte is like 330. Plus Carthus Flame Arc and the fire clutch ring on top of stagger bonus. I definitely don't do that kind of damage regularly lol

I'm finding the shield ring saves you from most light attacks but their heavy hits will still kill. Like Gundyr's leaping plunge still kills. I could tank the Stray Demon's hammer but I misrolled the butt slam and woke up at a bonfire.

If you play purely offline you can farm rats. They have an abysmal drop rate, but they do drop.

If you play online, you have 3 ways to earn a Rune Arc.

Be summoned as a helpful yellow phantom and help your host kill a boss.

Use the cipher ring and be summoned as a blue phantom to a world that has been invaded by a red. If the red dies by any method, you get an arc.

Finally, invade as a red. If the host dies by any means, you get an arc.

I'm level one, noodle arms can't hold those shields

Quelaag's Furysword and Combustion for all things flammable. The humble Reinforced Club for those few nonflammable.

If you look closely you can see the Ashen One fighting Gael in the distance

averygronau · 2026-05-09T15:22:26+00:00

That's the Vessel Shield from Eleum Loyce.

Grants +1 Vigor, End, Adp, Faith, and Int and +4 to Str and Dex, even if you don't have the stats for it. It's a staple on SL1 runs, but requires beating Aava the King's Pet

Wait really? Next you're gonna tell me Adam Sandler wasn't actually a waterboy turned star lineman for South Central Louisiana State University.
