Elden Ring Hand-to-Hand combat - How to Build a FIRE Monk Build (Shadow of the Erdtree Dryleaf Arts)

Demonstrates a Fire Monk build: Rakshasa armor, fire Palm Blast, oil pots, buffs, talismans, and maxed Dry Leaf Arts. Fully buffed Palm Blast reaches 8,000–10,605 damage, repeatedly staggers enemies, and reportedly defeats mausoleum bosses without damage. Rakshasa’s tradeoff is evident: enemies die quickly, but heavy hits hurt; he combines two- handed punches, healing, and Palm Blast.

Combat experimentation has become confident, optimized, and increasingly reliant on staggering and high-damage cheese.
