Oh, sorry, you were running a holy build? lmao get fucked kid

Yeah because Gwyn was immune to lightning
Oh wait he fucking wasn't.

use pest threads, dummy

>3 alternative damage types that scale with FAI
???
the only damage type that scales with FAI is holy and fire, and there are only a couple fire faith weapons in the game.

Holy, Lightning, Fire

The Elden Beast is not immune to holy damage whatsoever. There have been several people who beat the Elden Beast using only the holy damage from the bubble trumpets, and the medium-sized trumpet can even shred through the boss' HP bar with it multiple hits. If you want a name, Distortion2 finished such a run a day or two ago.

Lightning scales off of DEX.

its a test of faith obviously

Lightning weapons scale with Dex. There are lightning incantations though.

Fuck that's what I get for trusting the shit wiki I guess.

>Distortion2
Did he finally stop running any%? Yeah seeing a zip run once or twice is pretty cool, but it gets real degenerate real fucking fast.

t. bleed fag

and poorly too, i think C is the highest you can go for some damn reason

probably because it's supposed to be "early" game stuff, so the poor scaling is quite irrelevant.

>bug spell
gross. yuck.
>dragon incants
not a scalie
>frenzied flame
not a heretic

>switch to Godslayer greatsword
psh nothing personell, Elden Breast

but you get lightning in the capital that's pretty late?

"Holy build" has access to other damage types

I know this is your first souls game but THINK user THINK

user, a longstanding rule is to NEVER trust Fextralife. They already get shit wrong and it's up to the Wikidot and the Fandom wikis to actually test out the games and reports of events happening. There's a reason why people like Limit Breakers rag on Fextralife all the time, it's a site that just scrambles to make a wiki on anything so as to embed a Twitch player on the side and scam views.

ok, now check the infusion

He quit it a week ago, he found it boring and said he'd quit after getting a time under seven minutes, which he did.

It's only scalie if it's dragon communion, since you eat dragon hearts to larp with dragon heads as you become a Magma Wyrm.

>trying to use powers given by god to harm the very angel of that god
You're not very smart, are you?

Oh no what will I ever do

yeah, scaling only really matters when you pump 40 points into a stat or something like that, which should be a pretty high level thing if you're not a pure build. I got to that point only at the end of mountaintops.

if you're not talking about infusions, sure. But OP was probably talking about his weapon damage, seeing that most damage incantations don't deal holy damage.

Soul of Cinder only had like 30% fire resistance despite literally being made of fire and it was a far better final boss.

>Being made of mostly holy energy should be immune to holy energy!
Oh yeah just like how humans are immune to water

if fai, i suppose you could run a buffable weapon and use the lightning spell buff and then use lords divine dortification with a +2 haligdrake tree talisman, maybe a eat a holy liver.

Thank fuck. Was honestly getting Cosmo/Joden/Skater flashbacks.

shit, does Mohg even actually have 80% fire resistance? I noticed my damage against his sewer version was hot trash, but maybe it's not that high and I didn't have to whip out the flies on his palace version.

user, the Elden Beast is made out of magic. That's like spraying a hose at a lake.

Did fromsoft forget that they were making a souls game and not a late game kingsfield boss?

Launch DS2 broke him I guess.

>he found it boring
fucker carpet bombed the youtube search on elden any% with a dozen of his vids and bailed with all the views

I can hear the touhou music

Nigga you can see that the Elden Beast is a creature, even if it is composed of holy energy outside holy energy would still probably disrupt it. It's not a shapeless fucking mass of holy power.

I remember once having an exact same scenario like this but I ran and rolled forward to close the gap. The moment he finished his fourth attack he swam off and did the exact same thing.

Elden Stars is just the Four Kings' homing slash, but now the Kings can use their other projectile while you're hauling ass from the homing one. The Elden Beast only stacks moves intensely during Elden Stars too, it's like Placidusax's laser attack but without all the moves being chained as a single maneuver in the game's code.

>get sub-7 run after millions of views from other videos
>jumps out
>other person gets a better time at around the same time some japanese guy uploads a hacked speedrun that's 5 minutes faster
>The Algorithm decides that the fake run is better and leaves the guy that beat Dist's record in the dirt

what a shame, but kinda funny.

It's a creature made out of magical stars and holy light, a high holy resistance makes tons of sense. It's not like you're throwing a bone dart at a being that has a skeletal structure.

it's just a lot of fun.

everything except the elden stars is piss easy to dodge. the holy hedgehog spikes i knew intuitively to just run in a circle and avoid it (due to my excellent pattern recognizing brain) and the triple swipe holy arcs are telegraphed for children.

nothing about elden beast is mechanically difficult. it is purely a thematic spectacle boss.

Nothing in the game resists holy and fire

Most things that resist physical are vulnerable to fire, as well.

>slap bloodhound step on a weapon
>suddenly every boss is piss easy

Throw rocks at it. It's not immune to physical damage.

>Malakieth's Blade with successive damage increase talisman

Nothing personal Elden Beast, actually no full personal FUCK YOU for moving away so much.

Elden stars is a pain in the ass because it does more damage than the incantation and fucks with your vision leading to failures to avoid holy arcs

Are there any enemies that are immune to ultra greatsword?

eyy bubs got a question, what's the spell or incant I keep seeing, where the player screams and erupts into little black/gold flames that home in on a target?

Those are the Omen Bairn and the Regal Omen Bairn.

Either Shriek of Milos weapon art or the Royal Omen Bairn item.
