In this segment of the video, the creator introduces their level 150 meteorite mage build, which effectively utilizes gravity spells. The setup includes two staffs: the Carrion Regal Scepter in the right hand for its superior sorcery scaling with high intelligence, and the Meteorite Staff in the left hand for its 30% damage boost to gravity spells. This combination allows for increased spell damage without the need to cast with the Meteorite Staff. The build also includes the Frenzied Flame Seal, used solely to cast two buffing spells, Golden Vow and Flame, Grant Me Strength, without the need for upgrade.
The armor recommended is lightweight, as the build does not prioritize endurance. Players can opt for gear that boosts intelligence if desired. The essential talismans used in this build are the Ritual Sword Talisman (for a 10% damage boost at max health), Graven-Mass Talisman (for increased sorcery damage), Magic Scorpion Charm (to boost the damage of specific gravity spells), and the Godfrey Icon. The goal is to maintain light equipment load for mobility and maximize damage output while playing at range.

In this part of the video, the focus is on discussing gravity sorcery spells and their effectiveness in gameplay. Rock Sling is highlighted as the only gravity spell dealing 100% physical damage, while others like Meteorite also deal primarily physical damage. However, Collapsing Stars and Gravity Well are emphasized as essential spells for progressing through the game due to their high damage output and ability to be charged with Godfrey Icon, increasing their damage by about 15%. These spells are more effective in close to mid-range combat and come with a unique mechanic that pulls enemies towards the caster, which can be tactically advantageous. Additionally, using Gravity Well can set up powerful melee attacks with the Carian Regal Scepter. There’s also a mention of a tactical advantage where casting these spells allows the caster to duck under horizontal attacks.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a specific strategy for using a magic build effectively in combat. They recount an instance where thrusting a staff into the ground saved them from an enemy attack and emphasize the importance of the “spinning weapon” ability for dealing with close-range enemies. Additionally, they highlight the benefits of the “rock sling” spell for its physical damage, useful against magic-resistant enemies and for staggering foes.
The speaker also explains the situational use of the “meteorite” and “meteorite of Astel” spells. By holding the casting button, these spells unleash numerous meteors, effective against large or grouped enemies. The “cerulean hidden tear” item is recommended to sustain long spell casting without consuming FP (focus points). The distinction between the two meteorite spells is based on cost and efficiency, with “meteorite” being more accessible earlier in the game.
Furthermore, having a large FP pool (achieved with 40 Mind) allows continuous use of these spells even without the cerulean hidden tear. Beyond gravity spells, “Golden Vow” is suggested for boosting damage and protection, while “Flame, Grant Me Strength” increases physical damage, complementing the overall strategy.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the intricacies of a “meteorite mage build” for a game. Key spells like Meteorite of Astel and Rock Sling, which deal physical damage, are mentioned, as well as Terra Magicka, which boosts magic damage when standing in a specific area, benefitting magic damage spells like Gravity Well or Collapsing Stars. The recommended stats are 40 Vigor for survivability, 40 Mind for a large FP pool, 11 Endurance, 12 Strength, 12 Dexterity, 80 Intelligence for maximizing spell damage, 25 Faith to meet Golden Vow requirements, and 9 Arcane, which is not essential for this build. Additionally, the video advises on using specific flask tiers, like Cerulean Hidden Tear for sustained casting in boss fights and Magic Shrouding Tear for enhancing spell damage, along with Greenburst Crystal Tear to boost stamina recovery. The segment concludes by hinting at future content, potentially focusing on different weapon classes such as greatswords.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the idea of creating a series focused on different weapon classes in a game. They mention the importance of choosing the right great sword based on the player’s build and express interest in exploring the strengths and weaknesses of various weapons in the series. The speaker encourages viewers to comment if they are interested in this potential series, as the decision to move forward with it has not yet been finalized.
