All four methods each have their own pros and cons, and it's up to the Tarnished to determine which serves their urgency and purpose the best. For the uninitiated, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is an NPC in Elden Ring who plays a small part in one of the endings.
The Nagakiba Katana is a great weapon to dual-wield, especially alongside the Uchigatana. It's an absurdly long weapon overall, having more reach than most spears in the game, and it really doesn't take much effort to get. There's a reason this weapon is so popular, after all. In any case, here are the full expanded stats of this katana:
Gilded Greatshield : Another shield that can be infuriatingly difficult to farm, the Gilded Greatshield is otherwise a pretty good shield, having decent elemental damage negation, strong Fire and Holy resistance, and a relatively high guard boost. Like most Greatshields, it's notably weak against Lightning damage. Additionally, its hefty Strength requirement makes it a poor choice for early-game farming. By the time players have the stats to wield it, more appealing options are likely availa
In terms of base stats, the Red Branch Shortbow and the Composite Bow are identical. They both deal the same amount of damage (65), they both have the same range (29), and they both have the same Strength and Dexterity scaling. The only major difference between the two is their weapon ski
Briar Greatshield : Caligo Tips The Briar Greatshield is a similar story, but a little worse than the Spiked Palisade Shield, only blocking 93% of oncoming physical damage while causing 70 points of blood loss per hit. Its overall stats fall short compared to nearly any Greatshield, and its particular weakness to Fire, one of the most common damage types used by elite and boss enemies, further limits its viability. It's quite disappointing, especially considering its gorgeously brutal appearance and how late in the game players can obtain
Not every Tarnished will be capable enough to put on the entire Bull-Goat Set in Elden Ring , as it is by far the heaviest armor in the original game, granting the highest Poise value and unparalleled physical defense. It is also quite potent when facing fire-damaging enemies, although one might consider better options with lesser wei
The Light Crossbow gives players the ability to deliver as much damage as the Shortbow but at a much longer range. The drawback of the Light Crossbow, with all Crossbow-type weapons in fact, is the Weapon Skill . The Kick skill is only useful in very specific circumstan
Updated September 4th, 2024 by Jacob Buchalter: Even after the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC dropped, most of the 'overpowered' weapons in Elden Ring kept their spots in the rankings. And while the Nagakiba is among them, it's not widely regarded as one of the truly 'broken' weapons in this game. As easy as it is to get the Nagakiba, it truly is a unique and powerful weapon. However, not everyone is aware of how to get this katana nor of what exactly it entails. So with that in mind, let's break down the method of getting the Nagakiba, the questline it's involved in, and all the other rewards you'll be able to get along the way.
There's no chat function in-game, so you'll need to find a willing trade partner or benefactor using any other method be it the Elden Ring discord, social media, or some other method. As always, the hard part of this method is finding someone willing to part with their Nagakiba as dual-wielding it is quite a popular option for Bleed builds, and many people want two of these katanas.
The secret to obtaining this greatbow is only just now beginning to get out among Elden Ring players. It involves using a bow to drop large pots on the moving chariot trap in the Tomb of Knowledge. The Erdtree Greatbow stands out among the bows by splitting its damage between physical damage (60) and Holy damage (65). As a greatbow, this weapon also has excellent ra
The Composite Bow is becoming a favorite among players. It doesn't do a lot of damage (65). However, it can be fired fairly quickly. This bow can be obtained early into a game from a merchant near Bellum Church in Liurnia of the Lakes. The Composite Bow can be infused with Ashes of
Radahn was a beefy guy, so having a high Vigor reflects this large Health pool. A 23 in Endurance means you will be able to equip the majority of General Radahn's armor, though you may need to use the Radagon Soreseal or the Great-Jar Arsenal Talisman to push your Equip Load high enough to avoid fat rolling. A 50 in Strength takes advantage of the Starscourge Greatsword's scaling, while a 21 in Intelligence allows use of the Meteorite Staff and the Rock Sling spell, both tied to Gravitational Sorceries. The above is calculated for a Level 100 player who started as a Wretch.
The other useful Spirit Ash is the Black Knife Tiche Ashes . Bosses have a difficult time hitting her, and her ranged attack drains health for a certain percentage. She can drain bosses for a stupid amount of damage if they leave her alone for too long. There are two main drawbacks to using her, though. The first is that she’s expensive to summon, requiring around 132 FP. The second is that she doesn’t draw aggro as often, so players will need to be more careful about avoiding hits. If she sounds useful, though, she can be obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia (accessed by progressing Ranni's questline ).
