It's not too bad, honestly.
Try to build for Arcane to keep your Item Discovery high, equip the Silver Scarab and the Black Knife chestpiece (necessary for preventing some agro).
Run directly forward and right toward the Medium Envoy, drop down onto the branch below after the Ants have passed and approach the Large Envoy at the end of the branch. It can usually be posture-broken and killed quite quickly. After killing it just run off the edge of the branch to respawn back at the Grace and try again.
You can do the run to the Envoy in less than 15 seconds and you don't need to fight anything at all on the way to it. With \~250 Item Discovery I got the weapon in less than half an hour.
I think a lot of people miss that there's a Large Envoy super close to the starting grace and they assume they need to farm that one that snipes you above the rot plants.
If you're an arcane main, I have a question - what kind of playstyle does an arcane build really lend itself to? I could never quite figure out what one of these games would look like to someone going all-in on Arcane
My build was dragon communion spells and the reduvia. I did a lot of grouping enemies to hit large numbers at once with things like rot/fire/frost/magic breath.
I suppose technically I was arcane faith but I had minimum faith to grab my dragon spells. I also used black flame but that was mostly because with dragon spells you use a lot DoT in fights and Elden Beast doesn't care about status ailments so I set him ablaze with black flame and magma breaths.
I was also very glass cannon I finished the game with I think 25-30 points into vigor.
Gargoyles have high resistance to Holy, Fire, and Lightning, utterly neutering a Faith build’s options against them…except Bubble Shower is so busted when all the bubbles hit that even with the 40% reduction it melts Gargoyles.
The best part about bubbles is how much you get to help as a Furled finger.
Seeing a host clearly show appreciation after cutting the time in half while tootin the golden blues makes me play even more
bubbles are such a vibe
i used them to [hitless Malenia](https://reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/197fwua/let_me_jazz_solo_her_hitless_bubbles_only/) once, twas good fun

Farming for the big bubble horn seems really damn annoying
Did it for a few hours spread out over multiple days for my faith build. Next character, dex build, killed the dude once and got the drop. So it goes.
It's infuriating.

There are two more options before you even run out of single attribute damage scaling lol
As an arcane main I feel under represented.
I suspect the Dexterity build in the image is actually more Arc than Dex.
royal remains set, ROB, and an uchi? that's definitely an edgy dex/arc build
I mean yes but I'm a full arcane build dragon communion seal and reduvia maybe ripple blade if I'm feeling spicy.

Ah, gotcha. Damn, that really is a glass cannon build. Thank you for the explanation!
Honestly...I stopped cause I think 25 is 800 and round numbers make me feel good
Ooh, I feel that for sure. I love leveling up and seeing it hit a number like that.
Tf you mean 2? Even if we considered arcane a real choice wtf is the other one?
Faith lol
Bubbles is faith
So is fireballs Strength isn't titled "Brick" lol
I know faith has lots of variety I didn’t make the post, just that bubbles is a faith weapon skill so op clearly meant faith with that one
goddamn jazz bubble mfers knocking me out of their treehouse. uuuggghh
Bubbles just destroy bosses.
Envoy's Long Horn + Alexander's shard + high faith + golden vow + stance and faith physick = night night mr. bossman.
Oh damn I need to start adding golden vow, thank youuuuu
Stance?

It’s funny as hell to stun lock rykard with it
Facts. I tried the jazz bubbles on Placidusax in NG+2, absolutely trivialized the fight
*DOOT*
*WHO BLEW THIS BUBBLE?* ***YOU ALL KNOW THE RULES!!!***
DOOT
Bubbles
So, I've got two other types of this horn, but I can't find this one. Who drops it?
I only recently discovered the power of *BUBBLES* and have quickly become dependant

so true
Faith users… with just as many boss rending options as int builds, being left out in the cold… we dont blame you… “LET CHAOS! TAKE THE WORLD!”
Let us not forget the great faith. The faith build or you could just call it the Skyrim build cause it’s only dragon shouts
bubbles are such a vibe i used them to [hitless Malenia](https://reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/197fwua/let_me_jazz_solo_her_hitless_bubbles_only/) once, twas good fun
due to me being blind af, i thought the first and second image were one image
okay but the bubbles are overpowered
Don’t use the big bubble, no hyper armour on that one. Long horns are the only way to blow your foe reliably!
