What is the Crystalian weak to?
The Crystalian, a formidable opponent in the world of Elden Ring, has many weak points that players can exploit to gain the upper hand in battle. In this article, we will dive into the specifics of the Crystalian’s vulnerabilities, providing players with a comprehensive guide to taking them down.
Physical vs. Magical Attacks
First and foremost, the Crystalian is vulnerable to physical attacks. Players who opt for blunt weapons, such as great hammers or great clubs, can deal significant damage to the Crystalian with relative ease. In particular, the Grafted Blade Greatsword and the Sword of Night-and-Flame are highly effective in this regard.
Additionally, the Crystalian has magic weak points, specifically weaknesses to Blood damage and Elemental attacks. Using the Moonveil katana with its Blood-based damage skill or the Rivers of Blood Katana, players can inflict significant damage to the Crystalian’s Health pool.
Elden Ring’s Crystalian Boss Fight
When facing the Putrid Crystalian trio, a notable Elden Ring boss fight, it’s crucial to identify their weaknesses early on to set yourself up for success. Here’s a strategic overview of the battle:
• Poise Broken: The Putrid Crystalian’s weakness can be exploited once their Poise is broken. This can be achieved by using a heavy-hitting attack or exploiting a nearby opportunity to disrupt their Poise.
• Breaker of Will: While fighting the trio, using Breaker of Will can deal massive damage and stun the enemies momentarily.
• Frampt’s Backhand Grip: Frampt’s Backhand Grip, an item from Frampt’s corpse, increases one-handed weapon skill while dropping damage. Pairing it with a decent weapon with Blood or Elemental damage results in a more devastating build.
• Wrecked Earthshatter Katana: For the right strategy, focus on obtaining Wrecked Earthshatter Katana (a late-game catalyst), which enables your staffs to hit faster for an extended duration, offering additional damage for players taking this route.
• Celestial Recreation of Fate: Celestial Recreation of Fate, when deployed at the beginning, blocks all projectiles and effects for a short duration, allowing you to move towards targets safely.
DLC & Post-Release Improvements
New patches are consistently being added, modifying mechanics and strengthening enemy sturdiness in DLCPatches & DLCs.
Please ensure you update the current game version or latest compatible release to exploit weaknesses appropriately, as outdated patch details will not include newly exposed enemy vulnerabilities. It might not be available with full DLC’s patch information since those specific fixes are intended to arrive through future patch notes after initial release.
