This Death Mage build will make Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree‘s notorious difficulty a tad easier for all of the Tarnished struggling with the game right now.
This build is best used for the expansion and Journey 2 or NG+ 2 for the game. It focuses on Death Sorceries and will aid one in conquering even the most difficult bosses like Starscourge Radahn.
Death Mage Build Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Completing Miyazaki-san’s latest Soulsborne has been similar to climbing a mountain for gamers. The expansion for the game added even more bosses, with many claiming that it felt like a different game.
The Death Mage build was featured on the Fextralife wiki. On the page, users can also find other such builds. To make this build work, the Prince of Death Staff, in the left hand, is an excellent melee option as it has the highest Sorcery scaling in the game.
These are the recommended attributes for this build:
- Vigor: 41
- Mind: 30
- Endurance: 9
- Strength: 12
- Dexterity: 12
- Intelligence: 80
- Faith: 58
- Arcane: 9
The Faith Works amazingly for this specific build to have 374 Sorcery scaling with the weapon.
The Sword of Night and Flame should be equipped in the right hand. The Gloden Order Seal will be the most effective for the sacred seal. The armor for the build will be Fia’s Set for the Robe and the Hood. The gloves and legs will be the Spellblade Set.
The talismans to use will be Magic Scorpion Charm, Graven-Mass Talisman, Ritual Sword Talisman & Godfrey Icon, or Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman. After finishing the build, the player must use it to its strength.
Using the Death Mage Build in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
What makes a player skilled in Elden Ring is not just their build but also their skill level and their ability to use their build. Some players like NoahJ have beaten the game quickly using incredibly barebones build.
Select the Rancor Call, Ancient Death Rancor, and Explosive Ghostflame spells to use the Death Mage Elden Ring build. The first spell is for weak enemies, and the second is for the bosses and hard-to-kill enemies. The third one is for giant enemies like dragons; just be mindful of its cast time to avoid damage.
While the difficulty for Shadow of the Erdtree isn’t surmountable by having a decent build only, this build should help you once you get used to it. Once you get used to it, you will be ready for battle against enemies, and the mobility provided by the armor will help you medium roll out of harm’s way.
