I made a bow build and that is indeed very satisfying! They all go down like pun cushions full of arrows

Already happened, ingenious clown did it

@@the_monke0302 he's talking about this channel kidboy now scram 🤡 that's kinda funny though, a clown promoting ingenious clown

doesn't mean they can't do it

Oh yeah

I want to watch v2 soooo bad

Did you feel it in your dark soul?

That annoyed me, because he *chose* to spend the first hour of the game just running around getting materials instead of buying plenty of arrows and facing margit straight away. It would have been much more fun and interesting as a run if he fought bosses as he came across them naturally, instead of immediately running to Caelid and getting all these runes and upgraded weapons before the first boss. I always dislike when people do that in challenge runs. Upgrading and going out of your way for good talismans when you're facing Beast Cleric/Mariketh? Totally understandable and cool. Doing that same shit before Godrick? Kind of boring.

@@lmack3024 It may be boring, but that's the way the game is designed. The early game areas are pretty much meaningless when you can easily get late game materials elsewhere.

After your runs im sure that its a quite spiritual connection

@@FearThePegasus Shame we didnt fill his dark soul with light

Best part

"The Archer Class is really full of Archers".

You mean arrow rain aow not raddahn's GREATbow

@@timothylanier1882 Radahn's bow has the rain of arrows AoW on it, it just has a slightly different name.

woha that´s some dedication. It took me like 2hrs to beat her with bow and i felt so great after. Must have been better than sex for you after you beat her. :)

@@greencosmos5835 what is an AoW? do u mean aoe? edit: realized afterwards that u mean ash of war, havent played in a while lmao

@@mathias9389 No he means aow which means ash of war aka weapon arts

Also, against both Giant and Rykard you can (and should?) bring frostbite arrows. The prog is another max health % type, plus it reduces all absorption by 20% netting you a bit more damage per arrow. The extra damage doesn't amount to *that* much against those massive hp pools, but every bit counts. On a personal note, I genuinely believe the easiest somber [7] is in volcano manor. Yes, the bridge cheese jump has been fixed in 1.05 so no super skip *but* - get sleep pot recipe in Limgrave - get some ~5-8 cracked pots - craft that many sleep pots - take the abductor virgin from the academy - jump into the lake of lava and run past everything to the godskin noble - sleep pot time, for at least the first 3 times you sleep him a single pot is enough to put him into a trance if you take your time and make sure to only throw them when he's going to stay in the mist - you can damage him while he's falling asleep *and* while he's waking up, so you get some 15 seconds of free dps per pot - and that's it, kill him, get 50k "free" runes and then speedrun through the rest of volcano manor until you reached the stonesword key door at the end and the somber [7] behind Sure, the old bridge skip jump made that a lot faster, but it's honestly still way less of a hassle than going to the depth of the shunning grounds imo. And before Leyndell.

just use flame, cleanse me dawg

​@@spaghettimaghetti8too much effort for a niche use

@@alyxparker4410 nuh uh

Just use Soap, it does not cleanse rot but it stops the lingering effect where the bar keeps going up

They are called Burred Bolt. Which as the name suggests is a bolt not arrow so sadly that doesn't work here.

little Ethan lord of death so scary

@@ramrodbldm9876 what

Range has historically been unbalanced/OP against the AI in Souls games. The AI and enemy movesets just aren't often equipped to deal with someone that never tries to hide under its left ankle the entire fight.

He went to late game areas and overbuffed his weapon before a majority of the bosses, to be fair. If you try to go about those fights without the skips they'd be considerably more difficult.

Stormhawk Arrows are obnoxious to farm, since both Stormhawk types(Normal and flamethrower) will often drop flight pinions instead of Stormhawk Feathers

also he didn't use fire arrows to defrost frozen enemies and continually proc frost...

@@CsStrezif you boost arcane then switch back it might help idk

He didn't use Radahn's Rain on larger bosses either. Missed one of the highest damage tricks!

Split damage arrows aren't necessarily better, Guy. They get filtered by defense twice.

holy crap no one cares!

:D

Lmao this was how I played my very first run too. It actually worked pretty well cuz Radahns Rain is a pretty sick combat art.

Shield block between crossbow shots is a great strategy against certain ranged enemies such as those annoying mini Astels in the underground areas who spam the rocks.

Holy Cow (cow!=crap)

True, arrow rain is more efficient

@doom_wolf11 Official. I watched that Video

Nah they are actually fine, they are just heavily depending on your choice of arrows. In PvP you can really abuse Shortbows and their ability to shoot after rolling and landing. Greatbows can be really strong for PvE but are very unflexible. The only problem is that all bows but one in each category are basically useless and have nothing special about them.

Dark Souls challenges will return for sure! Elden Ring is probably going to be a major focus but I’ve still got a pretty big list of Dark Souls stuff, *especially* DS2, lined up and ready.

Now that I've watched it I can confirm great video. Archery only may not be the most ridiculous challenge run of this game, but it ain't no walk in the park and you made it look easy. And man did I feel old when you wondered if anyone would get the Ghostbusters 2 reference.

I’m so glad somebody got that one
