That means that you’ll bathe yourself in flames that deal both fire and bleed damage whenever you get close enough to an enemy. So, if you happen to use the Bloodflame Blade incantation on a compatible right-handed weapon while Fire’s Deadly Sin is active, the bleed effect that you get from that incantation will be passed on to the Fire’s Deadly Sin effect. That ability is designed to allow you to set yourself on fire and deal flame damage to anything that gets near you, but it turns out that ability has a secret (and possibly unintended) interaction that allows you to add additional damage effects to the flames.

The heart of this build is the Fire’s Deadly Sin ability, which requires 19 Faith to cast. There are a few variations of this basic build going around at the moment, but all of them will turn you into a living weapon that will be able to kill pretty much anything in your path just by getting somewhat close to it. So if you’re interested in making your Elden Ring journey as easy as possible (or if you just want to try something truly special for your second playthrough), here are a few Elden Ring builds that will leave you wondering why everyone says this game is so difficult. Many of them take advantage of mechanics that are either among the most powerful in the game or interactions that are very likely not working as intended and typically lead to hilarious results. While you can obviously beat Elden Ring using some of the other builds that we’ve previously recommended (or one of the many other viable character build options in this game), I need you to know that I’m not exaggerating when I say that the following builds are truly broken. Elden Ring may not feature a traditional “Easy Mode” option (despite increasingly louder calls for FromSoftware games to offer optional difficulty settings), but by choosing to play the game using one of the simply broken character builds that players have discovered so far, you will almost certainly be able to beat the game with relative ease.
