A YouTuber has discovered a build in Elden Ring that is so OP that it’s hard to put into words. It’s a Bleed Build that takes down all bosses with just a simple attack combo, even without bleeding. MeinMMO gives you more information.
YouTuber RageGamingVideos uploaded a video about Elden Ring, which has a title that can raise eyebrows. “Crazy”, “broken OP” and “ridiculously high damage” is written in capital letters.
There are countless videos with these titles on YouTube, but RageGamingVideos claims that his featured build deserves those adjectives:
Don’t get me wrong, guys, I know that the title of the video causes eye rolls. But I honestly wouldn’t exaggerate so much if this build wasn’t worthy of it. And I think the first 58 seconds of the video deserve the label “broken”.

In these first 58 seconds, the player can be seen killing a dragon, the final boss, and even the feared Malenia in just a few attacks. All with just a simple combo in a build he calls “the OP version of an OP build”.

Although the build by the YouTuber is a Bleed Build, the strong bleeding effect is just an additional bonus to an incredibly strong foundation. Therefore, it differs significantly from our Blood Build, despite similarities.
What does the build use? The player uses the Scavenger’s Curved Sword, which has received a respectable A rating in our weapon tier list. He has one of these curved swords in each hand. However, since the weapon can only be found once in Gelmir (location), this exact build can only be used with an online trade or in New Game Plus.
He then gives these curved swords the Occult affinity, so they scale better with the Arcane attribute. For this, he uses the Ash of War Seppuku. You can get it on the mountaintop of the giants from an invisible scarab on the frozen lake.
At level 123, he has the following attribute distribution:
- Strength: 42
- Mind: 15
- Endurance: 13
- Valor: 9
- Dexterity: 17
- Intelligence: 16
- Faith: 15
- Arcane: 80
The build is rounded off by the following important elements:
- Helmet: The White Mask
- Armor: Black Feathered Chaussettes
- Amulet 1: Claw Talisman
- Amulet 2: Rotten Winged Sword Insignia
- Amulet 3: Millicent’s Prosthesis
- Amulet 4: Blood’s Jubilee
- Invocation: Flame, Grant Me Strength
- Flask of Wondrous Physick:
- Crimson Burst Crystal Tear
- Greenburst Crystal Tear
How does the build work? This build particularly buffs the jumping attacks of the dual curved swords, which you activate with L1 (Playstation) or LB (Xbox) while jumping. This simple combo is all you need for this build. Because with it, you make 4 quick attacks in succession, activating many strong buffs at the same time.
Since these buffs interact together, crazy values come out of it. The YouTuber calculated that all the buffs together increase your damage by a whopping 160%. Thus, the bleed damage is just the cherry on top, not the main feature.
According to RageGamingVideos, this combination “does more damage than anything in the game that isn’t a bug or exploit”. This simple combo may not be the “most exciting way” to play Elden Ring, but the results in the video speak for themselves.
This build discovery is particularly impressive as it comes shortly after Patch 1.04. Surprisingly, that didn’t touch Blood Builds, but buffed many other things:
