I guess the durability grindstone is meant to be used with the quartz upgrade that increases damage when at max durability

The durability grindstone is designed towards elemental weapons that can’t be imbued with a different element. Combine it with the quartz upgrade that boosts dmg when Durab. Is at max for significant elemental dmg results

Perfection grindstone trivializes the Laxasia fight, but I probably wouldn't use it elsewhere. The satisfaction grindstone is the best if you run a weapon with an element already attached, and the elemental stones for non-elemental weapons.

I appreciate the information. I really do enjoy this game but kinda suck at souls likes, your channels helps so much. Thank you

Fantastic Video as always!! :) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤❤💖💖

I like to pair the satisfaction grindstone with the assassin's amulet alongside The Proof of Humanity and using its fable art to up the crit rate even more. It actually works as a pretty decent way to deal damage, especially if you use the full fable combo.

I would also like to add that some weapons with crit built-in have the grind fable art, which increases crit even more.

I would say it's important to note that this ranking really applies more to Motivity/Technique builds. Fire/Electric/Acid grindstones simply don't work on most Advance weapons, given that they already have a status damage type applied to them. In the case of an Advance build, the Perfection, Indomitable, and Destruction grindstones all make a lot more sense for regular usage, with the Perfection and Destruction ones making a little more sense for late-game usage. (Though this is also impacted by their late-game acquisition)

I prefer to use the perfection one as it have an unique effect and just buy the elemental grindstones to use when the perfection wears off.

When i first got perfection grindstone, i thought it was just a decent effect, but when i used it on the laxasia, manus and the namesless puppet, i realized how insane it is, its busted

Where would you rank the Golden Lie on your weapons list? Seems to get longer hitbox based on humanity and the fable art works really well with guard upgrades, felt weak at first but have started to really like it. Also I agree about durability grindstone feeling weak against decay but it actually gives a pretty big damage buff with the max durability ATK upgrade, which also works really well with durability on perfect parry and the amulet for cool gameplay loop where you use enemies to sharpen weapon and counter with near 2x damage

The perfection grindstone works extremely well with the P-organ which breaks enemy stance on perfect guard.

Nice rankings, will you end up doin one for normal weapons? Maybe you could even split it into 2 videos if you wanted, one for the weapons, another for the handles

Crit wheel is one of my favorites.

Used the perfection grindstone against Romeo when he does his big fire combo. Completely trivialised the attack

The stagger grindstone is good with the p organ things that allow you to get more stagger duration

Perfection Grindstone + Urgent Repair tools are the only thing that got me through Nameless Puppet's 2nd phase. I could have probably switched to a different weapon like the katana and done it easier, but I wanted to beat it with my beloved Tyrant Knife + Pistol Rock Drill (what I call the "Stab-o-Matic 5000") that carried me through most of the late game.

The aegis legion gains the effects of grindstones. Don't know if it's intended, but it is overpowered.

You didn't even bother to check what the Durability Grind stone pairs with.... Hint: it's in the Organ tree.

Dont critical hits also remove bosses recoverable HP? Could have sworn critical hits had an additional effect on top of more damage.

I got a couple questions. So we know there are only like 4 weapons with innate crit. Does that mean every other weapon is completely incapable of doing crits without the grindstone? And does that mean the assassin's amulet is useless unless you're using one of the 4 crit weapons? Every single weapon has damage values that fluctuate, and I was under the impression that was because of crits. But if only 4 have crit, what is making these values differ so much? Edit: should have saved these questions for the amulet video, which I'm watching next.

The sigma grindstone 😎

Where do you get more perfection grindstones?

What grindstone would u recommend for the 2nd phase of nameless puppet?

what's the buff the nameless puppet uses on his weapons, i really want to use it

I NEED THAT PERFECT GRINDSTONE

I was crossing my fingers that the indomitable grindstone would give you extra perfect guard frames (like a buckler parry vs shield).

Perfection Grindstone is the grindstone I use on all of the Isle fight. Don’t really need it for Door Guardian but it’s nice to have. But start of Laxasia phase 2 is a great time to have perfect blocks. Phase 2 Simon is also nice just so you can stay in there and deal damage without worrying about getting hit as much. And especially useful against Nameless’s 2nd phase. I use it right off the bat and just stand there parrying to build up the stagger meter. Get a few hits in, then Fable attack and you can usually get a Fatal attack off, then activate the second grindstone and do it again. Worked wonders for me, only took me 10 attempts to beat Nameless, and only the last 3 attempts had me using 2 grindstones instead of 1.

Satifaction grindstone i would use most of game with spear of covenant, but perfection grindstone perfect for laxasia start of phase 2 to take out 1/3 of her health with lightning deflects.

satisfaction grindstone on the dagger with its effect on gives you 90% critrate

Perfection grindstone is perfect against second phase of Laxasia and final boss.

fr!! Stay on that grind, fellow alpha-male!💯💯🔥

How far do the p organs go to? Is tier 7 the highest?

3:40. 60% of the time, it works all the time

Where can you find the perfection stone

I think that people want to find the Grindstone more than they want to hear about it, if only somebody would make a video that explain the process on how to get it

How bout a legion arm tier list now that aegis was patched?

What weapon is that

Satisfaction grindstone is great

you don't have to press the buttons at the same time, just use the grindstone while guarding

Is the last boss a carcass? Or human? I want dmg buff. And does he do slash or strike?

real ones know why durability grindstone is one of the best. if you have a heavy build and quartz upgrades that boos your dmg when weapon is at max dura

Perfection grindstone is perfect for long boss combos like puppet king phase 2

So... Where can i find the perfection grindstone? 🥶☠️

I disagree with the elemental grindstones being on top just because abrasives do just fine

Satisfaction grindstone is extremely good on multi hit weapons like spear of honor heavy attacks

I just got to Simon, using the trident with the fox amulet and the critical grindstone. I destroyed his first phase. Haven't got his second down yet...

how do we know which bosses are puppet/carcass/human? I know some are obvious but some it's hard to tell

perfect grindstone is the only thing that allowed me to beat nameless puppet in ng+

My favorite combo gotta be fire grindstone + salamander dagger. It doesn't work, yet. But I'm sure someone out there will make my build viable.

Sexual Chocolate

For the durability grindstone, wouldn’t you stay at max durability with every hit? Making the P-organ upgrade “raises attack when at max durability” constant with every hit? I’m not sure how much it boosts, but ur cousin be worth testing.

Just beat the game, i kinda a meat and potato king of player. I like basic stuff in games. Never used any grindstone with effect, throwable, consumable or fable attack. I eventually used the legion arm, the fully upgraded string is really nice. Also never understood the difference between parry and perfect guard.

First

Basically all grindstones are garbage except the 3 elemental ones.

God , i hate this boss

Can someone tell me what "speccing" means? Kinda new to souls like games.
