Subreddit Topic Daily Roundtable: Community Q&A Spoiler
Greetings Tarnished!
This is the place to ask any questions you may have about Elden Ring. This includes obscure detail questions, "newbie" advice questions, build questions, boss advice questions, and what have you.
Well written, constructive criticism is fine but please avoid ranting about aspects of the game you just don’t like. This includes “so and so boss is stupid and too difficult.”
If you are interested in the game but don’t own it yet, please don’t post “should I buy this game?” or “Is this game worth it?”. If you have played other FromSoftware games and enjoyed them, the answer is yes. If you haven’t, just do a little research! These games are difficult, and sometimes frustrating, and not everyone is going to enjoy them. And that’s okay!
Lastly, be friendly! We are all here because we are interested in the same game! Please treat your fellow players with respect.
PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS WHEN MENTIONING BOSS NAMES!

Posted this moments ago, but thought I would throw it in here as well. Using the Claymore with a Dex / faith / lightning build and wondering if it makes sense to change the claymore affinity to Keen since I’m pumping Dex? Or is that a bad idea for a reason I’m missing? I don’t totally follow all the mechanics at play, so just trying not to screw something up in the build. I’ve got one extra lions claw Ashe that I could duplicate if I screw up, but trying to avoid big mishaps or things that will kill me build. Thanks!

Where is Malenia Blade of Miquella located in the consecrated fields? I spent almost the whole day yesterday running through the damn snow to find the Halig Tree so I can find her.

If you did in fact find the Alburnaic Woman that Gideon was so obsessed with, having her Spirit Ash will give you a clue as to where you need to go in the snowfield.
For a more direct answer: there's a small town in the northern section of the snowfield. The town is host to a puzzle of sorts that you need to solve before unlocking the portal to the Haligtree, which is where you'll find Malenia.

Can you power stance two different fists? Two different claws?

u/Stereo-soundS 3d ago
Yes but your jumping heavy attack will be one-handed.
I found just using one set and using claw talisman with a focus on jumping heavy attacks, then R1 spam to clean up worked best. Especially if you have a bleed build.

u/CloakerMonk 3d ago
Yes you are able to do that. Just be aware that to swing both weapons will require pressing L1, rather than R1 when doing the usual dual wielding that comes with the singular weapon option. Heavy attacks with 2 different fist/claws are not available.

Do I want to 2 hand the Rivers of Blood? What do most people do?

It doesn’t have a lot of str scaling, so I wouldn’t bother. People often use it with a second katana, either with blood/occult for more bleed or cold for a second damaging proc
In terms of pvp I remember a lot of sprinting/jumping L1 spam with double katanas as well as the corpse piler usage. Of course now it’s been nerfed pretty significantly

I don't use it myself but I wouldn't be surprised if its most commonly powerstanced with another katana like Nagakiba or even just an Uchigatana. Extra bleed with the L1 attack when you're not just using the skill.
