Thank you. Excellent input as always. I'm trying not to lose my mind or fling my controller across the room playing this dlc on NG+7.

Will you do a powerful bleed or strength based dryleaf art build? Having trouble maximizing its power. Really want to use the hand to hand combat

[Tarnishedwarrior]

Just when i needed the video its perfect 👌

At first i was having difficulties being at RL 332 but when i obtain the armor of solitude and the solitude great sword, i was really getting the hang of it. It really helps if you collect those scadutree blessings and revered spirit ashes. Defeated messmer and at the halfway point of dlc, but i really wanna explore more the shadowlands before heading towards the finale. Got a few new weapons and been really enjoying them. Realla twin blade and messmers impaler have been really funn weapons to play with.

I appreciate you making this video in good faith. I was one person that was just super frustrated with DLC cause the damage I was doing and the damage the enemies were doing to me felt insane. I didn’t want to look stuff up cause I just wanted to play the game as blindly as possible. I don’t remember who, but someone online said that you should use everything at your disposal in the DLC. Which actually surprised me. Base Elden Ring has condition me into doing everything on my own that I was crippling myself in the DLC. I should’ve been using summons, and exploring a lot more (even though I really didn’t know where I was going), and considering my build/stats. While the DLC still kind of annoys me with the enemies I appreciate that it’s actually making use the everything the game offers.

Thanks Matt awesome cheers 👍💯 is there a smithy available in shadow lands 🤔 or do we go back to round table and for rememberaces thanks matt, keep up the good work 👍

[grumpyolbadger]

Great video, and yep, exploring will reward you a lot.

[nokyz_noob]

Thanks for the great advices, i had a hard time and not having fun in my first hours, i also tried diffrent builds with no diffrence

[philipgore]

Great advice, I took some time to use the fragments to level up myself and my mimic tear as well. Beat several bosses, some took a few tries especially that giant super fast hippo. Just take your time, level up at every opportunity, try out the new weapons and don't get too frustrated.

[cherrybarcia]

I noticed you changed your stat spread for the jump bleed build and split more between dexterity and arcane. Any reason why?

[sammy]

I knew from the start that blasphemous blade was gonna be OP as hell in the dlc but was just trying to find something that’s new from the DLC for a little change….i guess as I go further I’ll change but as of now the base game weapons seem to be overpowering the dlc ones early on

[cangwane]

Thank you, man. I asked for a bit of build variety in the last video, and this one gave me a lot of great ideas to pursue. I appreciate it, mate.

edit: Still waiting on you to get your hands on euporia and lets us know what you think of the ash of war on it lol ( i think the AOW has 3 stages, base, level 1 and level 2 )

Best Elden Ring YouTuber out there. ⚔️

[akavz]

Can you do a build on those new red bear claws with built in blood loss, got a feeling they can be nasty

[Wok]

I would love a great sword of radahn lord build if you can for when I get the dlc and finally beat it 🙏🙏

[chef]

Big shield builds are good too for a first run. You get to focus on the bosses’ movesets and learn.

[gopackgo]

100 percent agree with blasphemous blade early

[ye-roon]

I've been testing the great katana on our favourite golem yesterday. I switched to repeating thrust ash of war. I don't know the stagger values for overhead stance, but the damage was very lackluster compared to repeating thrust, esp considering the FP cost. I've always hated fighting humanoid enemies or basically invaders/others players in fromsoft games, but since putting that on my great katana they've been a breeze. It stops most humanoids from hitting me, it has crazy range due to the katana's length, its really quick(i tried double slash but its to slow on great katana) so it builds millicent/rotten winged sword insignia fast. Just an amazing ash of war for the great katana, def recommend. My "big boss" ash of war is probably going to be impaling thrust, as the stagger damage that seems to do is crazy. And the backhand blades man, so flashy it plays so good. I upgraded both to 25 but i have a hard time putting the great katana down.

[Shhh]

Hey Matt great content as always, think you may wanna check some Frenzy Flame builds later on, there is an insane talisman for it.

[rafaelcarvalho]

I started the DLC with Marais Executioner, just changed to Milady for experimenting and now I'm strugling
