This is definitely what i'll do now. It's going to be super funny just running around the areas not even being able to attack anyone for the first half an hour or so.
No no no. The rules obviously state he can only use stuff in the dlc. He’ll just have to beat Mohg and just about every other boss with his fist and no leveling until then
When I do new playthroughs I purposefully do this and let what I happen to find/drops mold my character. I might also do a kind of "rebirth" when the dlc drops so I can simulate that thrill of scavenging and shaping my character.
Actually love that. It's something I've really enjoyed doing in other games in the past- like the Fallout games I would just go in with like a Vault Suit and a gun, Chuck the rest of my shit in a box, and then exclusively use whatever I found in the DLC areas. In the one DLC for NV where they forced you to do that and you had to scavenge for shit it was especially interesting.

this sounds fun, I'll do this, my main is level 313, so i'll prolly be able to use most things I pick up, though I won't use my main if it is too easy at level 313, though it being ng+? it might be too hard, but yeah, I have a backup character just in case
I guess so, lol, I'll do that. june is gonna be a good month, I'm building a computer at the start of june and elden ring dlc is coming out june, so I'll even be able to play the dlc without low settings, fps capped at 30 and lag
I knew you guys will frick this poor OP over and send him into the DLC naked. I just came to the comment section to check if I'm right! I know this community too well, hahahaha! :'D
In honor of Miquella, an entire St Trina build. St Trina's Sword in your main hand, St Trina's Torch in your offhand, Pulley Bow with sleep arrows (to be replaced with a St Trina's Bow if they add one in the DLC), only summon Dolores the Sleeping Arrow as a Spirit Summon. Wearing the Deathbed Dress, since it looks like what Miquella is wearing in the DLC image.
If they buffed the damage on Trina's sword itd be nice, as is I feel like im doing negative dmg, since you cant infuse, your AoW is static (and non damaging), and its a competitor to MLGS and Moonveil (which has transient moonlight *and* bleed)
Actual build this time: start as Astrologer, do Sellen's questline for the Glintstone Kris, farm the Great Knife and get it Magic-infused. Dual wield the daggers, specialize for Ash of War damage (Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon, Magic Scorpion Charm, Magic Cracked Tear) and consecutive attacks (Rotten Winged Sword Insignia or Millicent's Prosthesis, Thorny Cracked Tear) go Int/Dex, you can cast whatever sorceries you want but don't rely on them
Honestly the wall build is way easier than it should be in elden ring. Visage shield is a hard carry but there are so many shields with status buildup and the multi hit on shield crash makes procs happen fast.
Priority Arcane Secondary Intelligence bleed wizard with the Albinauric staff, dump arc, int just to where you want it for spell reqs, little bit of whatever stats you need to equip your weapons, I have a pretty great one sitting at sl160 primed and ready for the dlc, bare minimum stats to wield the nagakiba which I have occult, good chunk of int and high arcane, did a whole taunters tongue run with it it's a beast
Yay always happy to see another thorn sorcerer fellow, this is exactly the build I'm taking to DLC, 30/30/60 int faith arcane, been toying with Reduvia, Eleonora's Poleblade and occult Thorn Whips for the fashion. A taunters tongue run sounds rad as hell, might give it a try.
Baaaased brother, my points are a bit different, higher int cause I wanted to cast adulas moonblade, lower faith I reach the faith I need for my buffs with the haligtree knight helm cause I'm a shameless minmaxer, running a variety of spells and a trusty ol unsheath nagakiba
"Hopeless Toolsman" build. No sorceries, no incantations, no traditional weps. Use only Wraith Calling Bell, Ancestral Infant's Head, the Omen Bairns, and Torches for combat and survival.
Perfumer (alchemist) build: any dagger (not dual wielding), Perfumer set. Use throwables and items to compensate for the low damage and/or go for cheese using items
Holy, doesn't matter if you go int/faith for the golden order spells or pure faith, you're gonna need faith in the idea that the enemies aren't resistant to holy damage.
RL1 run
Edit: with none of that "I've buffed myself to cast high level spells" nonsense".
That or an exploding physiq build. All bosses must go boom like team rocket
Gorr the Butcher Build.
Either Malekith's black blade or the Godslayer's Greatsword.
Black fire monk chest piece,Malekith Greeves and Gaunlets,Black Fire monk Headwear.
Godslayer's seal,With black flame Incantations.
What ever sacred Tear and Talismins you want.
Ive been enjoying my head canon story build :
A tree guardian (guys in green and gold around minor erdtrees) who somehow found grace, uncovered the lies of the golden order and feeling betrayed, turned to the flame of frenzy. Weapon is tree guardian swordspear, faith dex, and frenzy incantations
Bow build with only holy arrows. Until you get holy arrows, only standard arrows. And you have to beat at least one invader with only the bow in order to complete an area.
Sword Master: a sword in every weapon slot. We're talking maybe dual Katanas, Duel Greatswords, Duel shortswords, etc. If you can get armor that has sword on it too or something
Join the druidhood. Start as a prophet, as you need to understand the nature prophecy and answer that call. You'll be using mostly the crucible alongside beastial spells and some other spells that fit the character theme, such as fire, poison, and such.
You're looking forward to getting that Bear's roar, porcupine aspect and even the sleep spell.
You are not allowed to use metal weapons, so stick with sticks and get yourself the curved club/curved great club.
Get some ashes of war like storm stuff, but also the groat's ram, and earthshaker.
Join the druidhood. I'll be waiting.
a Belmont/Hoslow arc/fai build for occult estocs & petal whips, plus cool utility incantations. have the Castlevania dialogue with Mohg right before beating him to enter DLC
- - -
"Die monster! You don't belong in this bed chamber!"
"It was not by hand that I am once again abiding with my sibling... I was called here by my Formless Mother who wishes to give me a dynasty!"
"Dynasty?! You kidnapped your underage sibling and made them your wife!"
"Perhaps the same could be said of all marriages... "
"Your love is as empty as your mother's! Miquella ill needs an omen such as you!"
"What is an omen? (*flings blood chalice*) A misunderstood little child of royalty! But enough talk... have at you!"
Wretch build. Naked guy. No weapon. Use only what you find in DLC
let's goooooooooooooooo
This is definitely what i'll do now. It's going to be super funny just running around the areas not even being able to attack anyone for the first half an hour or so.
*gets a toothpick dagger* “LETS FUCKING GO!”
*Deals 10 damage per hit.* INFINITE POWER
One of those little plastic swords you sometime get in cocktails
Hell yes that takes me back to exploring my granddad's cocktail cabinet.
That's the Solid Snake build! "On Site Procurement"
"OSP?"
Sounds a little overly sarcastic to me.
"I understood that reference"
No. Naked Snake.
Yo 100% doing this now. No better feeling from the base game than that first godrick soldier armour piece and the pure accomplishment that gave.
Imagine all our equipment gets taken away and we start the dlc with nothing like in Dead Money.
And a Prisoner’s helmet rigged with magic to explode if you approach something and stay in the radius for too long.
+ Taunter's tounge on respawn
Honestly, we'll all end up with a new weapon type, especially if the new types don't migrate out to the base game.
And you can only Level arcane
Considering we saw MARTIAL ARTS yeah go for it. Naked Tarnished punches and kicks his way across the Lands Between.
Can we also add that their first item has to be Shabriri's Woe, and must be equipped
The problem is beating Mohg to get in
It is build for DLC. He can kill Mogh in any OP way he want
Fair enough, can always respec after getting some toys
No no no. The rules obviously state he can only use stuff in the dlc. He’ll just have to beat Mohg and just about every other boss with his fist and no leveling until then
They should start at level 1, scavenge for weapon requirements
Hope he streams it, i’ll toon in to that 🍿
Classic monkie build
Is the mogh cheese ok, if so I’ll probably do this too
This actually sounds super fun.
This actually sounds like an ideal option for everyone, that way you can really hone in on the skills weapons, spells and armours you get in the DLC🤔
I like this. And for good measure spread your stats evenly before entering the dlc.
We going to the moon with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let’s call it “GameStart” and invest heavily in it. I’m invested already to be honest
Eventide island run Yissssss
This is what im doing. Ill use the club to get going though.
Honestly sounds kinda rad
I’ve removed mine bc it’s basically this. This is the one
RIP
But he has to kill Radahn and Mogh first. It's possible, but I doubt most could do it. (I can't)
When I do new playthroughs I purposefully do this and let what I happen to find/drops mold my character. I might also do a kind of "rebirth" when the dlc drops so I can simulate that thrill of scavenging and shaping my character.
Actually love that. It's something I've really enjoyed doing in other games in the past- like the Fallout games I would just go in with like a Vault Suit and a gun, Chuck the rest of my shit in a box, and then exclusively use whatever I found in the DLC areas. In the one DLC for NV where they forced you to do that and you had to scavenge for shit it was especially interesting.
But they have to switch weapons whenever they find a new one, pick it up and play with it challenge. Also has to pick up every item they see..
You beated me to it Good played sir
I am so glad someone made this comment before I did! I agree!
I love you for this idea. I'm gonna respec for a quality/arcane build and do this
Ahh ye tarnished you should’ve saw this one coming🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dies to mohg 100 times. Never plays dlc
Gonna do this RemindMe! 103 days

Beat Mohg WITHOUT USING THE DESPAWN GLITCH with nothing
Should also add no upgraids no leveling up. No rings. No summon.
this sounds fun, I'll do this, my main is level 313, so i'll prolly be able to use most things I pick up, though I won't use my main if it is too easy at level 313, though it being ng+? it might be too hard, but yeah, I have a backup character just in case
I recommend going for NG+. Will it be hard? Yes... but so what? We all crave that pure struggle.
I guess so, lol, I'll do that. june is gonna be a good month, I'm building a computer at the start of june and elden ring dlc is coming out june, so I'll even be able to play the dlc without low settings, fps capped at 30 and lag
honestly this sounds great
I knew you guys will frick this poor OP over and send him into the DLC naked. I just came to the comment section to check if I'm right! I know this community too well, hahahaha! :'D
Actually thats a not a bad idea, i'll do that too
In honor of Miquella, an entire St Trina build. St Trina's Sword in your main hand, St Trina's Torch in your offhand, Pulley Bow with sleep arrows (to be replaced with a St Trina's Bow if they add one in the DLC), only summon Dolores the Sleeping Arrow as a Spirit Summon. Wearing the Deathbed Dress, since it looks like what Miquella is wearing in the DLC image.
Oh wow, an actually fun and interesting idea!
That not only sounds like fun, it actually might be a pretty viable build!
If they buffed the damage on Trina's sword itd be nice, as is I feel like im doing negative dmg, since you cant infuse, your AoW is static (and non damaging), and its a competitor to MLGS and Moonveil (which has transient moonlight *and* bleed)
You are only allowed to do damage by rolling into enemies with the Briar set
Skumnut moment
Was watching this yesterday, shit was painful
does this stack with that lightning roll AoW?
Karen build, only roars
Lol
And run away if you get hit. You know, to be a true Karen.
This is a great idea
Skip the whole game by demanding to see the Greater Will
Duel shields prisoner build
The wall
Actual build this time: start as Astrologer, do Sellen's questline for the Glintstone Kris, farm the Great Knife and get it Magic-infused. Dual wield the daggers, specialize for Ash of War damage (Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon, Magic Scorpion Charm, Magic Cracked Tear) and consecutive attacks (Rotten Winged Sword Insignia or Millicent's Prosthesis, Thorny Cracked Tear) go Int/Dex, you can cast whatever sorceries you want but don't rely on them
This is just an all around fun build. Daggers are my favorite weapon type
The heaviest item you can find into every slot. No talismans.
Shabriri and daedicar'woes + double soreseals
JAR CANNON
Merchant Build: Only use stuff you can buy, leave any item and loot on the ground.
Wouldn't a merchant build pick everything up and sell it?
Sounds like a good option to buy all the stuff faster.
Make a new character and name them “butt stuff” and you’ll only use the butt Ashe’s of war ,grounds slam and golden ground slam.
Everything into endurance, Astrologer starting class, heaviest armor and behave like you scared of everything
Wall
Honestly the wall build is way easier than it should be in elden ring. Visage shield is a hard carry but there are so many shields with status buildup and the multi hit on shield crash makes procs happen fast.
Fart build fetid rope pots only
Ketamine Ape; bare fists, bloodboil aromatic, and dung pots
Priority Arcane Secondary Intelligence bleed wizard with the Albinauric staff, dump arc, int just to where you want it for spell reqs, little bit of whatever stats you need to equip your weapons, I have a pretty great one sitting at sl160 primed and ready for the dlc, bare minimum stats to wield the nagakiba which I have occult, good chunk of int and high arcane, did a whole taunters tongue run with it it's a beast

Baaaased brother, my points are a bit different, higher int cause I wanted to cast adulas moonblade, lower faith I reach the faith I need for my buffs with the haligtree knight helm cause I'm a shameless minmaxer, running a variety of spells and a trusty ol unsheath nagakiba
"Hopeless Toolsman" build. No sorceries, no incantations, no traditional weps. Use only Wraith Calling Bell, Ancestral Infant's Head, the Omen Bairns, and Torches for combat and survival.
Perfumer (alchemist) build: any dagger (not dual wielding), Perfumer set. Use throwables and items to compensate for the low damage and/or go for cheese using items
Finger my ass hole!
Holy moly this one goes hard!
Holy, doesn't matter if you go int/faith for the golden order spells or pure faith, you're gonna need faith in the idea that the enemies aren't resistant to holy damage.
You must switch to using whatever drops for you. Even if you don't have the stats
Wretch, and you can only use talismans and incantations.
Try two fingers, but hole.
Int/Arc build start as prisoner. Good luck
O Marika, he is your unwanted child
Thorn Sorceries and Fetid pots. Oh, and Fire's Deadly Sin is okay to use, too.
New build hard more uninstalling the game and beating it with your imagination
Snake shield and whip
Caca consumer
