14:12 Man, I love a good "Occulut" bow

Quelaag when someone uses a bow : Ho shit, here we go again Meanwhile, the red dragon on the parish bridge when someone uses a bow other than to cut its tail : It’s a beautiful day outside. Do you want me to kill hollows for you on my bridge so you get more ammunition ?

You ever get that feeling of Deja Vu? Fun run to watch man, really like your use of graphics. Makes the video feel really clean. Looking forward to seeing what else you’ve got cooking 👍

what the hell is an okyulit- WAIT ARE YOU TRYING TO PRONOUNCE OCCULT

I am a simple man. I see Bleach in a thumbnail? I click

That gwyn fight was actually sweet, I felt like I was watching legolas do bow gymnastics lol

I think His Majesty would be pleased to hear that his heir beat the Dark Souls version of Yamamotto using only his letzt stil and a bow! No schrift needed!

Why does this actually seem easier than playing normally

I'm still sad the souls games don't let you hold 999 of an arrow type anymore. Also how DS1 was the last time bows were somewhat strong for being bows. Always loved the Composite Bow on my quality builds.

I really like the "badge" animation after every boss 10/10 run!

I is simple man, I see souls-like challenge run, I watch. This challenge run, good, very good, high quality, very entertaining, and somewhat informative

Criminally underrated channel, amazing everything

21:12 OH NO... HE'S LEARNING!

21:12 I started to panic out of reflex because what in the hell was that? I've been playing this game for like 10 years now and I've NEVER seen Smough do that before.

21:12 Remastered working precisely as intended

13:14 I recommend watching Illusory Wall's video on invisible walls, he shows how hit boxes look like in the whole game and why you often can't shoot through something and what not. In this case here I think the person making the hitbox that would let arrows go through (they're multiple types of hitboxes) extended it too far out or something like that.

I really love Darksouls 1. It just gives you so much more freedom than the other two games on what classes you play with, at least for me. You get even more rewarded for exploring.

Great video as usual bro

funnily enough I think there was an IGN guide when the game came out and it used more or less this strategy: - get composite bow early - grind lots of souls with the drake only it also relied on super heavy armour and just tanking everything

damn bru u super underrated the editing is peak the commentary is funny like cmon get this man 200 billion subs NOW!!!

I just bought Dark Souls few days ago, and im so happy to have found your channel, execellent videos and 10/10 editting, keep the hard work

32:53 As they say third time is the charm.

Your vids are amazing! Keep it up man (:

This its going to be usefull for my Samus Aran Run. Thank you, great video

Ive been gooning to all your videos and edging for a while man, new subscriber here. Keep it up!

This channel is going places.

I'm so shocked you only have 1k subs your content is so good and scripted so well

Your quality is 10/10... Just turned on post notis and I’m not even a quarter way through the video lol

Its always fun watching Bow Noobs take on these challenge runs even if your accidentally making things harder for yourselves. Still i appreciate the work you put in to this.

Great video! Love seeing simple challenge runs like this every once in awhile. Occult is pronouced "Oh-Cult" btw. I've got a friend with Dyslexia and he struggles with reading it too.

I’ve been looking for one of these nice vid

Peak content I am subscribing

Great video man really well done

I’ve done a bow/crossbow only run and I was so much fun

This reminds me of the backlogs (my goat fr)

Hears music from Punch Out Ah…I see you are a fellow Little Mac Main man of culture 😏

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!

All titanite demons,hydra,and many mini bosses I defeat with bow. This is situational but very useful weapon.

Split damage on smaller weapons is most often a hindrance. Enemy defense is applied multiple times

Did not expect him to post today

New video from accain! This day started out great

you should add that metal shine sound when get the "badges" if you know what im talking about

Another amazing video, the only feedback I have is it felt more like a tutorial than a challenge run

Great video! You should try the DLC as well!

Wait, this is the second video I watch of you and I'm not subbed yet? Time to fix that.

Blud you deserve 100k subs

Very nice (Robert De Niro face for comedic effect of my comment). Your doing great

my guy thought "occult" is related to "oculist" and not "cult"

You could have level dex to 40 and str to 27 as you always have two hand bows and use physical damage only comp arrow with large arrows from close range. The hawk ring helps of course with a longer range. A large arrow has a worse range so in some cases worse in very long ranges than the default arrow. Hawk ring+ring of fog+65 range pharis bows can break the game. Feather arrows have more range than default too but that only matters in VERY long-range snipes where you snipe beyond AI's response range... Poison arrows can also be useful usually two shots are enough to proc poison. Occult and divine path physical damage part scaling(from STR, dex) actually soft caps at 50 and not 40 like in the normal path. So 33 or 34 str as you two hand bows. I think the magic damage part soft caps at 50 faith. Split damage goes through two defenses so it often deals less damage than what the AR suggests. But divine gives a bonus and skellies have low magic defense. Some bosses including all DLC are very resistant to elemental damage so split damage is very bad.

31:44 😩

12:20 - floated down*

Nice apple run

I actually use bows in every souls game quite profoundly they make game lota easier. Wanna try full greatbow build for elden ring sometime

You are hilarious. Also I used you to prove to my gf that you can do a fistcules run And I will prove it to someone else who struggled hitting big ornsteins legs

Great video bro, your stuff is entertaining as hell. I got one question though. Your estus flask is only +4, not +5 and you didn't kill any of the fire keepers besides Darkmoon Knightess I'm assuming, Maybe you don't like killing Qualaag's sister and/or Anstasticia (firelink firekeeper) which is fair enough, I didn't either. But in that case, why don't you get the 5th fire keeper soul from the Duke's Archives prison?

maybe.

Love how you say occult (it’s pronounced “a cult”)

God don’t hate u bro he love u I promise 😊😊

Ishida!

Do you know what about the farm in dark root gardens? If so do you think the bridge is faster?

Because of Ishida subscription is a must

8:54 punched Lautrec, run invalidate

Wait, you can get the solaire armour in dark souls I thought you could only get it in three

Why u didn't use +15 composite bow with ornstein ring? With 40 dex and 27 str it's most powerful combo

What was the pinwheel Mask?

Did you know she's actually resistant to the damage type of a divine bow

The result you derived from the bow formula is actually wrong. If you multiply by a percentage smaller than 100 the jumber you get is smaller that your initial number. I myself dont know how bows scale. But if they add 39% more damage the correct formula is either AR+AR*39% or AR*139%

Isn’t Ornstein like the 1 boss weak to occult too?

21:12 bro encounter godskin noble 💀

@2.30 u broke the rules of the run when u landed on assulym demon

I also did a bow only run for the first time around a month ago, i don´t know why you leveled faith to 50 AND bought moonlight arrows when they both pale to the composite bow on a 27 STR/40 DEX build using large arrows, i guess you wanted to kill skeletons? Not knocking on your video, but i don't hate myself enough to level another stat to 50 and waste 500 souls per shot. And you didn't kill the DLC bosses (use feather arrows btw, large ones will miss 50% of the time). By the way the composite bow doesn't actually have that short of a range, and that stops mattering after getting the hawk ring, plus if you need to snipe something from a range the black bow excels at, you could also just grab the fog ring and poison arrows. If you ever want to give the bow only run another try with a physical build grab the composite bow ASAP and never look back, i somehow got 4 slabs before getting enough chunks to upgrade my composite and black bows to +14, so i upgraded every other bow as well, the composite outdamaged every single one but the dragonslayer with its specific arrows (you're never using this in a real battle ever so it doesn't matter lmao), didn't test dark moon with moonlight arrows because i didn't have the stats, but i'd bet it' slightly weaker. It's hilarious how superior this thing is, they should have made this one a long bow and the black bow a short one to give you a reason to use it, which they did in ER, sort of (black bow is a long bow but it can do the jumping/rolling shot thing of short bows).

Yes. Yes you can. Ive done it before easily.

What’s AR?

fyi theres a black bow and a composite bow

waffles > pancakes

Joy? Couldn’t use Bow or even Proper Bow upon beating the final boss?

What is that pronunciation on occult? You said "occulate"

Y u killing yngvard?

1:18 unvalidated

+

8:50 kicking is not a bow…

To be honest, I think you might hate yourself even more if you actually chose to include crossbows and greatbows. I wouldn't wish the use of those on my worst enemies.

The fact your using a blech character for head is 👎🏾

Thou granted us moe, there for thou are awsome, grammercy good sir.

funnily enough I think there was an IGN guide when the game came out and it used more or less this strategy: - get composite bow early - grind lots of souls with the drake only it also relied on super heavy armour and just tanking everything
