In this part of the video, the creator, Some Kind of Cyborg, discusses the locations and effectiveness of several weapons, incantations, and armor sets in “Elden Ring.” He focuses first on the godslayer incantations, explaining the black flame-based techniques that damage enemies both initially and over time by burning their souls, which is particularly effective against high-health foes. He emphasizes the use of the Godslayer’s Seal and enhancements such as the Fire Scorpion Charm, Fire Tear Physic Flask, and Flame Grant Me Strength for maximum damage output. He clarifies that these elements are available after progressing past the game’s midpoint and notes that specific locations and bosses will be mentioned.
The Godslayer’s Seal, which requires 27 Faith and scales significantly with Faith, boosts all godslayer incantations. It can be found along with the Black Flame and Black Flame Blade techniques in the same area. Black Flame, a powerful incantation, can be charged for greater damage, while Black Flame Blade allows weapons to be temporarily imbued with fire, burning and causing damage over time to enemies.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to acquire several items and incantations within the game. First, to obtain the Godskin Prayer Book and the Godslayer’s Seal, players need to progress to the Rampart Towers Site of Grace in Stormville Castle, use a stone sword key on the fog wall, and descend to a room with two chests. The Godskin Prayer Book should be given to a faith incantation tutor.
The next item, the Scouring Black Flame, requires 28 faith and one slot and involves throwing a blanket of black fire. It is effective but challenging to use against humanoid-sized or smaller enemies. This incantation, along with the Godskin Peeler weapon, can be found in the northeast of Altus Plateau, near the Windmill Village Site of Grace.
The Godskin Peeler is a twin blade requiring 17 strength and 22 dexterity, with customizable weapon arts and upgradeable with normal smithing stones to a maximum of 25. It’s effective in a bleed build with the Seppuku Ash of War. Finally, the Noble’s Presence incantation, requiring 26 faith, involves shaking the user’s belly and expelling an AOE wave of dark flame energy; it’s powerful but difficult to land, especially when fully charged.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the Godskin Stitcher weapon, which requires 14 strength and 17 dexterity to wield. It features an impaling thrust capable of piercing shields, a versatile moveset, and an exceptionally long-reaching running heavy attack. It can be upgraded with normal smithing stones up to plus 25. The consensus is to use it in a bleed build with sepuku and occult scaling. This weapon, along with the Noble’s Presence, is found by defeating a Godskin Noble in the Temple of Eagley within a legacy dungeon tied to the volcano manor quest line, located in the far west of the Altus Plateau. The fight can be challenging, but the Noble is vulnerable to parrying, and players are advised to use pillars strategically in the second phase.
The video then explains the Black Flame Ritual, an incantation requiring 42 faith, which surrounds the user with black flame pillars that harm and burn enemies. Charging the spell increases its area of effect. This spell is effective against enemies weak to flame and can significantly damage bosses when combined with certain buffs.
This incantation is found in the Spirit Caller Cave in the north-eastern Mountaintops of the Giants. This dungeon is filled with spirits and spirit-calling snails, concluding in a boss fight against the Godskin Apostle and Noble. The challenging aspect of this dungeon is the lack of checkpoints, requiring players to traverse it entirely each time they die. The speaker admits to using the mimic tear to cope with the difficulty.

In this segment of the video, the speaker provides a detailed guide on obtaining the final incantation and the Godslayer Greatsword in a game. To get the incantation, players need to reach the first bonfire of Mykola’s Haligtry, specifically the Haligtry Canopy Site of Grace. To do so, they must collect both halves of the Haligtry Medallion, one located in the village of the Albinourics in the southwest of Leonia of the Lakes and the other held by Commander O’Neal in Castle Seoul in the north of the mountain tops of the giants. After collecting the medallion, players can use it at the Grand Lift of Rold to access a new area and progress to the Haligtry.
Once there, they should speak to Gideon Ofnir at Roundtable Hold, who will provide them with the Black Flame’s Protection incantation. This incantation requires 30 Faith and one slot, boosting damage negation by 35% for 70 seconds but reducing healing from flasks by 25%.
For the Godslayer Greatsword, which requires 20 strength, 22 dexterity, and 20 faith to wield, the weapon follows the somberstone upgrade path up to plus 10. It is an excellent faith-dexterity greatsword with scaling improvements at various upgrade levels and features a powerful weapon art called Queen’s Black Flame.
00:12:00
In this segment, the video guide explains how to acquire the godskin apostle armor set and the weapon predominantly referred to as the godslayer’s greatsword. The narrator provides detailed instructions on navigating the lowest depths of the Divine Tower of Caelid, emphasizing the importance of going there post-Radon fight to activate his great rune simultaneously. The path includes descending stairs, passing knights, making precise jumps, and handling enemies strategically to reach the apostle. Killing the apostle allows players to claim his armor and weapon. Additionally, the segment covers unlocking the godskin noble set by progressing in the Ronnie quest line, using the Carrion Inverted Statue at the Carrion Study Hall, defeating the godskin noble, and acquiring his armor, which enhances specific incantations.
