Magic Build Playthrough! (PC)Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree NG+1

Introduction

Hi everyone, thank you for checking out my stream! Today, I continue my magic build playthrough in Elden Ring, specifically focusing on the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Now at the ancient ruins, I am gearing up for the end game. Let's dive into the game, experiment with some spells, and tackle the bosses ahead.

Gameplay and Strategies

Miriam's Vanishing and Other Spells

I'll be experimenting with Miriam's Vanishing spell and will be combining it with other spells to see its effectiveness. After some unsuccessful attempts, I decided to stick with my trusted Comet spell for now.

Exploring Ancient Ruins

As I navigate through the ruins, I encounter various enemies like night blades, spirit calculus, and the formidable furnace golems. Each encounter requires careful planning and the strategic use of spells.

Boss Fights: The Key Highlights

Romina

Romina posed a significant challenge, with her five-hit combos and unpredictable explosions. It took multiple attempts to understand her patterns and effectively dodge her attacks while maximizing my spells' damage output.

Malenia

The toughest fight was undoubtedly against Malenia. My strategy involved casting various spells like Night Comet and using defensive strategies like barrier spells. However, her afterimage attack and meteor combo were particularly difficult to dodge.

Exploring Hidden Areas

While exploring, I discovered several hidden areas containing valuable items and ingredients for crafting. From spirit calculus to upgrading my weapons, each item contributed to strengthening my build.

NPC Interactions

Talking to NPCs like Morion revealed new side quests and lore. Completing these quests sometimes opened new areas or offered valuable items and spells, pivotal for my progression in the game.

Final Thoughts

After hours of gameplay, I conclude this session with a sense of achievement despite facing challenging bosses and some frustrating moments. I'll take a few days off from streaming and be back soon for more Elden Ring adventures.
