FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, released back in 2022, allows the player to be fully in control of how they might want to progress till the very final boss. The game offers a large variety of weapons and accommodating items allowing the player to come up with different types of builds used to defeat the enemies.

One such particular build that has been fairly popular is the Cragblade Knight build. This particular set of weapons and armor allows the player to become someone who can easily break the stance of most of the enemies in the game, leading to an easy victory.

How To Put Together The Cragblade Knight Build In Elden Ring

One of the best features of this particular build is how most of the items required to put it together can be found relatively early in the game. This includes the main Morningstar weapon that we will be using, which can be found in the southern part of the map, Weeping Peninsula.

The Morningstar weapon would also need to be equipped with the Cragblade Ash of War found in Caelid. This particular ash of war helps us buff the already high stance damage of 36 found on the weapon, allowing us to stun-lock the enemy in minimal hits.

The weapon is also suitable for the build as it also builds up a status effect of bleed at the same time, giving us another advantage. The armor set that would go perfectly with the build would be the Knight Set, which can be bought for runes at the Twin Maiden Husk found at the roundtable hold.

To further help with the build, the player can opt for equipping talismans that accommodate the build perfectly. Preferable talismans that need to be carried along are the Claw Talisman (used for increasing jump attack power), Green Turtle Talisman (Raises stamina recovery speed), Axe Talisman (Increases Charge Attack Damage), and Curved Sword Talisman (increases guard counter).

If you have not yet tried this particular build, this is the perfect opportunity to do so with the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. With many players now coming back to the game to prepare for the new enemies, Hidetaka Miyazaki has refused to reveal anything about the most terrifying creature we will get to face in the coming extension.

Director Of Elden Ring Has Refused To Reveal Anything About The Enemies In The Coming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

When asked about the terrifying worm-like creature that has been teased in the recent gameplay trailer for the DLC, the renowned director of the Elden Ring refused to share any details about the kind of enemy. He stated that he does not want to reveal anything about the upcoming enemies yet, as it would spoil everything.

However, Miyazaki did mention how the enemies of the coming DLC will be interweaved well with the Land of Shadow itself. The Land of Shadow is the name of the new place the players will get to explore in the coming extension by interacting with Miquella’s withered arm that hangs out of his cocoon in the Mohgwyn Palace.
