Just How OP Can You Make INTELLIGENCE in ELDEN RING?

I didn't realize how level-dependent a mage build would be.
I only really enjoy magic builds when it comes to Terraria and I feel like this isn't a good video for a MAXED build. I'm not sure how some magic builds reach 3-5k damage per cast without buffs. The best staff in this game is the Prince of Deaths staff but that requires over level 200 to be viable.

Anyway, like the vid and I read every comment btw.

Dammit, I accidentaly missed the magic scorpion charm by completing too much of ranni's questline. Would've boosted ALL magic damage by 12%.

If anyone mains strength and wants to try magic, I recommend make an entire run using only gravity spells/ gravity weapons. Gravity weapons scales with Strength and most gravity spells pulls your enemy towards you so you have a strong weapon that can reach 800 ATT with only 40 STR. It's a fun build to pull your enemy then bonk them.

I like the addition of universal collapse when u fought astel it just seemed to fit so well too

I’m actually surprised. I thought you had at least 10k subs. It’s really good content. I can imagine a new player would really love these for not going to mid game areas as soon as you start.

This video reminds me how the game is actually pretty balanced if you do things in the intended order

The Andrew rate ramble is really funny when you realize that worms are decomposers and absolutely are necessary in the environment “most people are worms” so most people are doing arguable the most important step of putting nutrients back in the earth to keep plants alive and well

Now we need a "how op can you make faith?" Video

Fun fact, you can offhand azurs staff and cast with another to get faster casting on better scaling staffs. I’m pretty sure this works with every other staff except Lusat’s.

this lowkey became a mage and beginner guide for me since i have no idea what’s happening lol, awesome work i subbed

i think Shard Spiral from Sellen and the Rock Sling spells are both up there for my favorites. one is an absolute shredder that deals damage as it travels through massive bosses like the final boss, and the other is a janky physical damage range option that enemies mess up dodging making it worth the cast time (in my opinion)

i love spellcasting in this game, you have so many options, and while it isnt the optimal way of play, i just enjoy it lol

The bubbles can 1 hit Margit, if you enter the arena and then just stack them 4 where he lands (from right in front of the cutscene trigger, cast a 5'th as you cross the scene trigger and voilà!
He'll just explode on spawn, and walk right into the 5th! 😉

First thing I did for intelligence build was get meteor staff and rock fling. Easily stagger every boss as mage

[smilingbear]

I love the arrow marionettes, they are one ash i get on every character no matter what. They are worth it just for cheesing big magic lady alone, you rush her and keep her back to the marrionettes, and they will perma stun lock her almost, and when they arent you typically can.

1:58 Scholar's shield is op if you are making a melee build. the glintstone spray is pretty good with 80+ int compared to other spells but is weak at the beginning.

FYI for the viewers, Google the trapped chest to get the meteorite staff right at the start of the game. Next after you get Int up Go find the staff of the lost and off hand it with the Carian Regal Scepter in the main hand. Cast Night spells for max damage. If you are really big brain, Make a 2nd character and grab a 2nd staff of the lost. Get a friend to jump online and trade it to them then they can trade it to your main character. The 30% buff stacks. You can get it to +18 or higher fast by killing all the falling star beast in the game, Which is not that hard. As for summons, the wolfs work for a time, But get the GREATSHIELD SOLDIER ASHES. They Tank for YEARS be sure the level them up.

in liurnia if you shoot down the baloons with the marionettes (near the tower where you find another memory stone) you get golden rune 6 for each of the baloons.
Also behind the dragon dude in siofra river there is marikas soreseal (or whatever its called) which is basically radagons soreseal but it boosts your "magic man" stats like mind, int, arcane

I just love how Astel was like: "That's a nice spell you have there, i got one just like it."

[nimitsharma]

There is another walking monument u have to jump on, it is in the deep roots area, where you go for fia's quest. EDIT: enemis do not dodge night magic

[nashhope]

Calamity Scourge of the Universe is so epic in the Astel fight. Man I love your taste

[officialflannelweek]

great video, and solid editing!
side note for the andrew tate quote at 18:35 - it's funny how wrong he is because worms are a vital part of most ecosystems. man really just outed himself as science-illiterate lmaoo
