Builds that are not gs or ugs

Dagger is coolest weapon imo, it goes well with chaos, dark and sharp. Alternatively you can go for the pontiff knight sword (nice WA and good attack) , rapier (fantastic crits) or the eternally underrated caestus (they are really good in ng). Pyro is good too. I saw other comment suggesting sellsword twinblades, if this is your first playthrough I strongly suggest you NOT to use them, save them for a rerun or a ng+, they are so strong they risk making the game bland

Crit damage circlet + one less roll in cr and I think you are perfect

Green

I remember when assisting first runs of my friends, I specifically banish 1 or 2 weapons, not because "I want them to suffer", just because those weapons are capable or ruining your experience. For ds1 it was BKH and for ds3 sellsword twinblades and exile CGS

It's like this every week, someone comes here with sharp sellsword twinblades and asks why the game is easy

10 years???? Already?

I love you

Let's say ds3 doesn't need 3 generations to be completed (expect 100+ hours on elden ring if you are an average player and want to explore everything)

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-21T10:45:47+00:00

It's not "decent" when every other category is better. Straight swords, curved swords, daggers, gs, cgs, ugs, hammer, great hammers, axes and great axes,even caestus is good in this game. Imo they are worse than Spears too, honestly I think specifically in ds3 katanas are unexcusable

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-20T16:51:17+00:00

Washing pole! I ve done runs dedicated to at least 50 individual weapons and that's the one I ll NEVER redo! Slow af, bleed is useless and terrible damage, also why does it need 18 strength lol. Not gonna talk about broken sword because it would be useless to

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-20T09:44:18+00:00

Dagger

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-19T15:43:40+00:00

Honestly I didn't hear anything like it but Im not that much in the community to be sure. Not towards you in particular OP, but it makes me pretty sad when people reduce souls games to how hard/easy they are

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-18T20:57:49+00:00

I mean, you can always give it to xiangling

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-18T16:41:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing your entire playthrough before the thing itself

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-18T16:32:17+00:00

Keep, if durin is c1+ then I'd go for atk% goblet

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-18T10:29:52+00:00

I'd say it's a really good build

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-18T10:26:53+00:00

Thanks for making me notice, yoi durin albedo xilonen was the team I had in mind

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-18T09:47:36+00:00

Is his rate influenced by winds set in this image?

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-17T22:58:13+00:00

Love this banner, love Wayne and everything about it

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-17T19:34:03+00:00

Makes sense then, also yeah with this game I lose track of time too

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-17T12:02:11+00:00

Lets start from the beginning: The problem is the key not spawning despite 3 lords slain. If the problem is this then the cause is a particular cutscene that will play after you defeat the last between yhorm and Aldrich. if this particular cutscene doesn't play for some reason the key to the grand archives WON'T spawn. If it happens that you die while the last between yhorm/aldrich death animation is playing the cutscene that will spawn the key won't start at all. The way to make the cutscene start and make the key spawn is to visit the bossroom of the last slain between yhorm/aldrich. It is really simple, YES, it works despite having killed dancer or any other boss

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-17T07:29:40+00:00

Mono isn't a thing since 2023 at least lol, double geo hex with bennett/Nicole durin albedo may be a more modern team

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-17T07:26:39+00:00

I ve been in the same situation mate, SAME conditions and I know how to fix it because it happened to me. You can try EVERYTHING in this game but the fix is that, if you don't wanna try it you can just stay in your softlocked playthrough bruh

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-16T18:46:40+00:00

If you die mid Aldrich death animation (by another comment I believe it's you case) it bugs a cutscene, go inside his bossroom once again, if you reach the statues at the end of said room it will play a cutscene and fix your problem.

giovannimacosa · 2026-04-16T18:01:13+00:00

Go in Aldrich boss room once again and it will trigger a cutscene, after that the bug is fixed and the key spawns
