Elden Ring player discovers stupidly OP build ahead of DLC release date

With the launch of the long-awaited expansion for Elden Ring, Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, coming later this month, fans are currently workshopping different builds that they can use in order to beat the DLC. One fan has found an extremely powerful build.

As spotted and noted by Gamesradar, X (formerly Twitter) user dangitjm responded to a post from another player who wanted to be able to play the DLC while having high enough stats so that they can use every new item available. According to the user, fans will have to be at the very minimum level 212 so that they can hit the stat lines that they need to be able to use everything.

"Let's assume that you want to use everything that the DLC has to offer. 'Everything' meaning meeting the minimum stat reqs not just for weapons but every spell at well," the user wrote.

Dangitjm does note however that this build is purely for anybody who wants to be able to use everything in one single playthrough of the DLC, and isn't a build that everybody needs to have.

"Don't go thinking that this is a 'must-have build' to use heading into the DLC. This is purely for someone who wants to be able to use everything. The fastest way to get to RL301? I'd recommend going into NG+7 [The seventh level of New Game plus] (which gives you maximum returns) before you start farming for runes."

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is scheduled for launch on 21 June, meaning fans have just over two weeks to finish the base version of FromSoftware's beloved RPG.
