In this part of the video, the host, Crows, discusses his Ornstein cosplay build in Dark Souls Remastered. He explains two main approaches: the fast roll and the medium roll.
For the fast roll, you need the Ring of Favor and Protection, Havel’s Ring, and a minimum of 47 endurance, but this compromises either vitality or dexterity, which impacts the Dragonslayer Spear’s damage output. Instead, Crows prefers the medium roll using the Leo Ring, which Ornstein drops in the game. This choice allows for higher dexterity, increasing damage and benefiting from counter damage with thrusting attacks.
He also adds the Grass Crest Shield, which complements the Leo Ring’s damage, and explains his stat allocation:
– 42 vitality
– 14 attunement for three slots (Great Lightning Spear, Wrath of the Gods, and Great Magic Barrier)
– 38 endurance
– 24 strength for one-handed use of Dragonslayer Spear
– 34 dexterity
The build also uses Great Magic Barrier to counter the vulnerability to mages and includes strategic combos like using the spear’s lightning projectile after Wrath of the Gods.
