Starting Elden Ring for the first time with a strong build will help beginners a lot. The most commonly used class that beginners pick up before starting the game is the Samurai build to get off to a strong start. Other strong builds include the Stormblade build and the Mage build.
Once players go beyond Level 100 in the game, the Colossus Guardian build is considered one of the strongest builds in the game. The Colossus Guardian build lets players get up to a 3-hit combo right from the beginning of a fight. If the build is properly made with the right attributes and weapons, it will help players get through boss fights and other enemies more easily.
Building the Colossal Guardian in Elden Ring
To build the Colossal Guardian after reaching Level 100, players can start from any class. The basic weapons needed would be the Prelate’s Inferno Crozier, a Dagger, and any Sacred Seal. There are no Shield requirements to start with.
As for the armor, players would need the Lionel’s Set and the Barbaric Roar skills. The Talismans needed include the Roar Medallion, Axe Talisman, Green Turtle Tasliman, and the Lord of Blood’s Exultation. Finally, the spells needed include Flame, Bestial Vitality, and Grant Me Strength.
Players must slot the Ash of War: Barbaric Roar onto the Prelate’s Inferno Crozier along with the Blood Affinity for this build to work as intended. This will cause a hemorrhage on enemies resulting in increased damage. Players can also trigger Lord of Blood’s Exultation for increased damage.
Using the Barbaric Roar will also help players deal a three-hit combo, boosted by Roar Talisman and Axe Talisman, dealing stagger damage every time the combo hits. Using a Lionel’s Set armor also helps players claim a high Poise, which lets players deal hits in quick succession.
The Lionel’s Set armor helps take lesser damage as players will trade blows while fighting Bosses in the game. Before starting a Boss Fight, players can buff up with the Flame and Grant Me Strength spells and use the Bestial Vitality spell when fighting other enemies to heal up quickly.
Reminiscent of Iconic Dark Souls Builds
Given that Elden Ring has taken a lot of elements from the Dark Souls titles, the builds in the games also have a lot in common. Those who have played the Dark Souls franchise will reminisce about the original Soulslike games when building the Colossal Guardian Build in Elden Ring.

The Slow Walk build from Dark Souls 3 is an armored tank with great poise that helps trade blows in quick succession, a lot like the Colossal Guardian build. The Oroboro’s Falchion Build in the original Dark Souls title is also notoriously similar build to the Colossal Guardian. A two-handed Darkmoon Blade or Sunlight Blade attack will help players take down multiple enemies in the game.
As the Colossal Guardian Build also makes use of spells, fans will find it similar to the MLG Sorcerer Build from Dark Souls that made players rely heavily on spells before buffing up the weapons to push back enemies and attack.
Soulslike genre fans have rated Elden Ring rather highly, and fans of the Dark Souls franchise have rated it even higher as they continue playing and replaying the title to discover hidden details. Fans are now waiting for the game’s first DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree to drop sometime later this year. As of now, there is no confirmed news of a release date in sight.
