In this segment, Alex discusses essential bleed items for Elden Ring, highlighting their effectiveness and locations. He emphasizes the prowess of bleed setups, particularly dual katanas, for their lethality and satisfaction in battles. Key items mentioned include Reduvia, a dagger obtainable early in the game with the powerful Reduvia Blood Blade skill, which causes hemorrhaging with airborne blood blades. Reduvia can be acquired by defeating Bloody Finger Nerijus in the marked river location. Additionally, an Ash of War with the same skill can be found in Altus Plateau. Alex also recommends the Uchigatana for bleed builds, especially for those starting as Samurai, explaining where to find it in Limgrave for other classes.

In this segment of the video, the creator focuses on strategies for enhancing attack power and maximizing blood loss in specific builds. They discuss using the “Seppuku” ash of war, which involves self-inflicting a wound to coat blades in blood, significantly boosting attack power and blood loss capability. An important detail is the correct order to apply Seppuku to dual-wielded weapons to avoid losing the buff. The video also highlights a powerful early-game ash of war called “Bloody Slash,” useful for dealing significant damage and staggering enemies.
Additionally, the video covers key items such as the “Lord of Blood’s Exaltation” talisman, which increases attack power when blood loss occurs nearby, and provides instructions on obtaining it from the Lendl Catacombs. Another notable item is the “White Mask” armor piece, which boosts attack power in the vicinity of blood loss and stacks with the talisman, enhancing the build’s effectiveness.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses enhancing blood loss damage in a game, focusing on acquiring a specific mask and a critical item. First, to obtain the mask, you need to visit the Palace Approach Ledge Road and defeat three white mask enemies in a swampy area, but ensure you haven’t defeated the boss in this area, or the enemies won’t spawn. The mask, combined with a talisman, significantly boosts bleed damage.
Next, the speaker explains how to obtain the black wet blade, an item that allows changing a weapon’s affinity to poison, blood, or occult. This enables the application of blood affinity to some weapons with different ashes of war. The black wet blade is located in Nokron, the Eternal City, accessible by progressing through Ranni’s questline. You find it on a dead body inside a building after traversing rooftops and entering through a window.
