In this part of the video, the focus is on why reapers are considered the best weapon in Elden Ring. Two main play styles with reapers are discussed: two-handing a reaper and using its moveset or dual-wielding reapers for a jump attack build. The advantages of using reapers include bypassing shield block with chip damage, intrinsic bleed status effect, good reach, and the ability to acquire all reapers early in the game. However, reapers have slower attack speeds compared to some other weapons, and their dual wield combo is not as effective. The transcript also introduces the Halo Scythe as a unique reaper that requires points in strength, dexterity, and faith to wield, deals physical damage, and can be found early in Kailid by farming the Clean Rot Knife.

In this segment of the video, two unique scythes are discussed – Nicolas’s Ring of Light and the Winged Scythe.
Nicolas’s Ring of Light deals 100 holy damage, is long-range, and best for the first playthrough due to physical damage outweighing holy damage.
The Winged Scythe is the lightest reaper, can cause bleed buildup, has high damage, is obtainable early in the game, and excels in NG+ due to scaling in faith, dexterity, and strength.
Considerations for each weapon: Nicolas’s Ring of Light is effective for long-distance hits with high damage, while the Winged Scythe is an all-around option good for early game use with high damage potential in NG+.

It is heavier but can be farmed for dual-wielding. The Grave Scythe is suitable for strength and dexterity builds, two-handing, and status effect builds. The Cold Infusion is recommended for high damage output. The Halo Scythe is discussed as well, with advice on pairing it with the right skills.
