They argue that consumables can be more potent than weapons when used correctly. The video aims to highlight the best consumables, builds, and buffs to utilize them effectively.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses crafting items in a game, starting with volcano pots, which are easy to make requiring only two volcanic stones. These stones can be farmed efficiently in areas such as the sea water river. Next, red main fire pots are covered; they require smoldering butterflies and old fangs, with the latter being harder to obtain. The speaker suggests using red main fire pots sparingly due to their limited availability. The focus then shifts to poison and rot options, highlighting the differences between poison pots and fetid pots. Fetid pots are recommended for their higher buildup but come with the risk of self-inflicted poison, whereas poison pots are safer but less effective.

00:06:00

In this segment, the creator discusses strategies for maximizing damage output in games using poison pots, including how to speed up the process. He mentions gathering specific ingredients and locations, like toxic mushrooms at the Church of the Plague in Caled, poison Bloom at Jarberg, and gold-tinged excrement north of the Artist’s Shack in Limgrave. The video also covers crafting rock pots with items like toxic mushrooms and aeonian butterflies, which are found in rot areas like the Lake of Rot. Additionally, the creator talks about creating sleep pots using the fervour’s cookbook and Trina’s lilies, noting the importance of using these items sparingly due to their limited availability.

00:09:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various rare items and their usefulness in a game. Despite descriptions labeling them as rare, items like sleep pots and ingredients are quite common and easy to farm in specific locations. Trina’s lilies and sleep pots are highlighted for their ability to trivialize tough bosses, such as the godskin duo.

The speaker then talks about lightning and holy pots, providing details on acquiring the necessary cookbooks and ingredients, such as purchasing the ancient dragon Apostles cookbook from a merchant in Altus Plateau and the holy water pots cookbook from Carly. They also list farming locations for ingredients like felger bloom and tarnish golden sunflowers.

Finally, the speaker covers key aromatics, notably the spark aromatic and the uplifting aromatic from perfumer’s cookbook one, found in the perfumer’s ruins. The spark aromatic is highly praised for its damage potential, scattering sparks that explode in a wide arc and can deal significant fire damage. The speaker notes the effectiveness and ease of acquiring ingredients like Altus bloom, enhancing the potency of these consumables.

In this part of the video, the focus is on gathering specific ingredients and farming materials for crafting in the game. The narrator explains that Miranda powder can be collected in Lane Dell and the Perfumer’s Grotto, with giant Miranda Sprouts being the best source for farming. The uplifting aromatic, which boosts physical damage by 10% for 40 seconds and nullifies damage from one hit, is also discussed, including its required ingredients like Altus Bloom, silver tier husks, budding cave moss, and arteria leaf. The video provides detailed farming locations for these materials. Additionally, the narrator touches on dagger options, suggesting purchasing throwing daggers from a specific merchant early in the game for efficient use.

00:15:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various throwable items in the game that can be obtained and their strategic uses. Firstly, kukri knives, purchasable from the merchant near Castle Morne Rampart, have extensive range, significant damage, and high bleed build-up, making them effective though slow. Fan daggers, obtainable initially in limited supply from Patches and later infinitely if his quest line progresses to Volcano Manor, offer the highest DPS among consumables and are highly effective against enemies like the Fire Giant.

Additionally, the speaker mentions the glintstone Craftsman’s cookbook which allows crafting of cuckoo glintstones, requiring crystal buds and cracked crystals. Alternatively, glintstone scraps can be purchased infinitely post acquiring the smithing Bell Bearing from the Crystalian boss in Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel. Crystal darts, made using cracked crystals and the nomadic Warrior’s cookbook 11 from a merchant in Liurnia, are useful against construct enemies as they can mind-control them. Cracked crystals can be farmed in Sellia Crystal Tunnel in Caelid. Lastly, gravity fans and chunks, purchasable infinitely after obtaining the gravity Bell Bearing from defeating the Bell Bearing Hunter in Caelid, are mentioned for their effectiveness once acquired.

00:18:00

In this part of the video, the speaker provides strategies for handling enemies and maximizing the effectiveness of consumables in a game. They suggest using rooftops and targeting enemies with ranged attacks from there. Essential items mentioned include the Bell Bearing, which can be given to the Twin Maiden husks to buy useful fans and chunks, especially effective against enemies weak to gravity.

The segment then details various buffs, starting with the Golden Vow spell located northeast of the War Master’s Shack, and the Flame Grant Me Strength incantation found south of Fort Gale North. The use of the Jellyfish Shield for its Ash of War, Contagious Fury, is also recommended.

For consumables, specific Crystal Tears and Knot Crystal Tears are suggested based on the elements used (magic, flame, lightning, holy), in combination with strength, dexterity, faith, or intellect tears to enhance damage. The segment covers talismans, highlighting options like Radagon’s Scarseal for early game, Radagon Icon for quick setup, and various others depending on the build, including the Arsenal Charm for survivability and the Companion Jar for increasing throwing pot potency.

00:21:00

The speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to have fun with the build and hopes it makes their next playthrough enjoyable, expressing gratitude for the viewers and wishing them a great day.
