You can stop Mohg's blood curse with a Physick tear you find after fighting one of the Bloody Fingers. Just FYI if you have to beat him in a future run.
Many people don't know this and call Mohg's attack unfair. I mean, IT IS unfair. But if you just explore Mohgwyn Palace a lil before fighting him it gets way easier.

A tip for your future challenges: you don't actually need to do the three assassinations for rykard. You can just get to the end of the zone where there's a warpgate which will take you to his boss room. It's situated behind the snake throneroom, close to the stonesword imp door. I love your videos btw, they have an immaculate energy to them. Kingly behaviour.
hey im sure you wont see this but a quick note: i did a bow only run myself and what i did was instead of normal attacking, i jump attacked almost all the time, because the animation is faster and with the claw talisman it makes all fights waaay quicker
I did some tests and from my tests I didn't do more damage with claw talisman. So unless something bugged out or I tested wrong idk. I'll go test again ig
I did bow-only without a guide until Radagon...then found out that shortbows have a jump + land attack and longbows don't. I used a longbow the whole game until that point because of the longer reach. Radagon is so goddamn hard with longbows. I switched to a shortbow and it was still challenging, but reasonable because of exactly that, the landing attack gives you much more damage and lets you circumvent his parry. With longbow you would shoot, get parried, and roll, or shoot again and trade. Wish I knew about the blackbow. Also on the note of fighting humanoids, jump attack is mostly consistent as opposed to spamming barrage or just praying, but you do have to wait for them to attack and jump back to shoot and dodge

For Mohg's Fight you can actually neutralize the damage you take from the Three two one attack that he does. It's one of the pearls for the mixed physick called "Purifying Crystal Tear" Which reads as following "Purifies the Lord of Blood's curse in a mixed Physick ^-^ at that point he just stands still while you only lose 1 hp for each stack that pops
Really good run! I've got a great tip for Godfrey & Hoarah Loux though: Literally every stomp or slam AoE can be easily avoided by jumping, and can be baited by keeping distance in the 1st phase (he'll dash towards you and start with a stomp). This way 50% of the fight will be stomps, which you can consistently counter with jump shots, then roll away from the follow up attack to keep your distance - bait a stomp - repeat. Use barrage when he's idling. You just get openings everywhere if you use the jump shot. I've had problems doing this fight melee, and now the bow is pretty much my go-to when it comes to this fight
For future reference there’s a teleporter to rykard that lets you fight him without doing the volcano manor questline, the path to it is hidden out a window on the top floor of the church of eiglay

@@Sapphire_Eye no the teleporter definitely is. The questline is just the 'easy' way since it requires nothing in the manor, but it does require you progress through another 2 entire areas
there is also an illusory wall in the first room on the right going down the hallway, unlocked with the drawing room key. it requires you to do a whole dungeon but hey.
As someone who has been using a bow build for a few weeks now. The most interesting thing i have figured out is that the spear talisman works on bows. If you hit them during their attack you do extra damage. This talisman increases that by quite abit.
I think the idea of 'I try out the XYZ run' with someone that isn't godly skilled at a Soulsborne game is actually a really good idea and might show folks that the game isn't as hard as many people make it out to be, especially with the higher mobility the player is capable of in Elden Ring.
Honestly elden ring was my first from soft game I've also played dark souls 1 3 and sekiro And honestly I would say sekiro's the hardest elden ring is second hardest then dark souls 1 then dark souls 3 in my personal opinion
@@thegamingshiba8226 I'm still playing sekiro DS1 and DS3 I multiple playthroughs running side by side I recently beat the bell gargoyles in ds1 The ashina elite in sekiro And vordt of the boreal valley in ds3
Many people think that a LVL 1 wretch run is ungodly hard but its not that bad. Just upgrade your club or whatever you're using, use the throwing pots, and you actually do some pretty dang good damage
2 things: 1: There's a physique that super nerfs Mohg's super attack in a church in Altus Plateau that you get for defeating an invader, Bloody Finger Eleonora. 2: You don't need to do the assassinations to get to Rykard, there's a Magic Portal in Volcano Manor that teleports you straight there. That's all, it was a really good video m8, and I'm exited for the Crossbow one!
0:12 as a traditional archer this makes me smile ' you just pissed off the compound and cross bow bros :) well done you just earned my sub ( and then you proceed to pick up a compound bow)
Absolutely amazing video, as well as the last couple of them. I really enjoy both the content and your presentation so keep up with the good work and can't wait to see more challenge runs from you! Much love
I love seeing people fight Mohg for the first time not knowing that you can almost entirely negate his blood ritual with a crystal tear. Tbh tho it's a little too obtuse to figure that shit out but it's not the first time From has pulled some shit like that.
For longbows (bows), it’s much easier to avoid being hit by shooting while jumping backwards. Doesn’t get you locked into the animation and creates some distance. I’ve been running bow since I started. Love it in this game.
for anyone thinking about this as a run to try on their own: Its easier then it sounds, bows and some skill make alot of the game really, really easy. Some tips: 1: Arrows Sting is BETTER then arrows reach, but you should be using both. Arrows reach increases the distance before your damage drops off, sure, but bow builds like this are not always going to be able to choose their range. Whereas sting outright boosts base damage. 2: The ONLY bows you need are the composite shortbow, which you can buy for 3500 runes from the merchant right past entrance to liurnia (which you can skip to by heading north from the stormhill shack) and the black bow, which you can acquire in the capitol. The composite bow is a shortbow... this means it has the best moveset (ie quick fire from jump attacks, and quick fire from rolls) and can be fired from full gallop on torrent without slowing down. The black bow, has longbow damage and range with shortbow quickfire from jumps and rolls, PLUS it has access to barrage and is only worse then the composite bow in terms of horseback utility as using it on torrent will slow you down. Mighty shot is certainly a strong ability, but barrage has better dps at a fraction of the fp cost. And enchanted shot is arguably more useful then mighty shot. Until you get access to the capitol, however, the shortbow is your best option in terms of moveset. 3: You can get immediate access to mt gelmir without fighting any bosses by sprinting through fort faroth for the medallion half, and using the ladder. The bats wont be able to aggro or kill you in time, so as long as your'e fastish, so its not pixel perfect routing. The other half is in fort haight, but the blood knight isnt hard to kill with a shortbow so.... your choice, really. 4: You can get 1-9 somber stones before fighting ANY bosses, so long as you have a modicum of skill at jumping. Funnily enough, though, without wrong warps or skips there is only the 1 somber stone 7, but a handful of 8s or 9s. 5: You need, need NEED access to the mohgwyn crow farm as soon as possible, purely to make arrow farming efficient. I also recommend killing all the special arrow vendors (you can keep Kale alive, since most vendors sell base arrows), and also killing the Bell Bearing Hunter at the warmasters shack at night for the bone bell bearing. Doing this expedites your ability to accrue arrows. 6: If you dont want to bleed everything to death (which is less efficient because arcane doesnt effect arrow status buildup), fire arrows are the least resisted damage arrow in the game and have some solid damage. There are similar options for damage, but its best to look up boss weaknesses and choose the element arrow of choice. 7: Poison arrows suck dig bick. Your better off locating the rotbone arrows, and spending time chasing butterflies in the swamp. The ONLY time I would recommend poison arrows at all, is if you use the Serpent Bow against my recommendations. Serpent bow with poison arrows, unimproved (even with its broken arcane scaling which DOESNT WORK, btw) can two hit poison things, one hit if you use its mighty shot due to its unique interactions with poison infused arrows. Serpent bow is good for poison, and nothing else. And arguably, its not even worth it because you can just get similar results with the pulley bow, without the restrictions. 8:You will want to use a defensive talisman. I would recommend either the green turtle talisman if you trust your dodges, because of how stamina hungry short bows and the black bow can be, or doing some parkour at the bestial sanctum to get the dragoncrest talisman.
Just as a tip: You can unequip every weapon and armor before you fight the mimic. That way he copies you with no weapons and no armor. Then just equip your build and have fun.
i see everyone do this and i just dont understand it. i love the idea of the boss mimicking the player exactly. just wish it had more hp or also had similar amounts of heals as the player
I can't believe you did a whole bow run without using the main bow mechanic of JUMP SHOT. It's the fastest attack you can do with a bow, and one of the bows can even get a quick shot after landing too What a madlad
I just recently found your channel and let me just say I'm very impressed with your commitment to sticking it out and completing these crazy runs and making the videos funny and enjoyable to watch throughout. You're awesome man, keep up the good work and I'll keep watching for sure
Something I've been wanting to see from you is if you can beat the game with only Frenzied Flame incantations, I feel like working around/with the madness effect and using those kinds of incantations would be interesting to see ☺️
dude im a recent subscriber and just found out about you, but ive literally watched every single one of your videos because you are a freaking funny, genuine dude. you remind me of my friend and how we played all the souls games and like just having fun, thanks for the videos man youre the bomb
I’m going to guess Drizzt. Nice run, could have made it much easier for yourself with a pulley, composite or black bow and run an easy route for upgrades. But I’m guessing you wanted the challenge so I respect that.
Drizzt was my first guess but I remember him having purple eyes, or at least he does in the R.A. Salvatore books, can't say for any games since I haven't played them
Hey Tye , if you follow Yura's questline and beat elenora.. you get a tear that you can add to flask which makes you immune to the NIHIL NIHIL attack of morgh
FYI - the Purifying Crystal Tear you can get for your physick flask that will make you immune to that phase change damage during the Mohg fight. Also he has a shackle that will affect him found in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.
Something to also possibly add into your runs is the Raptor's Black Feathers, it gives you a 10% damage increase to jump attack. You can jump attack with bows I believe, correct me if I'm wrong tho. Raptor's Black Feathers is located behind an illusionary wall in the Sages Cave near the Altus Plateau. The White Mask, located in Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum after killing a white mask invader, raises attack power when something nearby (wearer included) suffers from Blood Loss (10% Damage, 20 secs). I believe it also stacks with the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman for an additional 20% damage for 20 secs. That's 40% additional damage under the right circumstances. The Albinauric Bow, dropped by Albinauric Wolfback Archers around the Consecrated Snowfield, can be infused with ash of war, so I believe you can add frost to it for 20% damage boost to your bloodloss spike. Put barrage on that boy, if you can (haven't tested), and you'll pop these boys. The Hammer Talisman gives a 20% buff to stamina-reducing attacks, does this apply to frostbite which reduces stamina recovery? Frostbite: Deals damage and lowers target's damage absorption by 20% and stamina recovery. Talisman #1: Arrow's Sting Talisman - 10% Talisman #2: Lord of Blood's Exultation - 20% Talisman #3: Hammer Talisman - 20% Talisman #4: Rotten Winged Sword Insignia: 13% at max tier. Albinauric Bow - Frostbite: 20% Raptor's Black Feathers: 10% White Mask: 10% Total: 103% additional damage under right conditions.
I ran a bow against Rennala as well, and im glad im not the only one who had a tough time with it 😁 Radahn on the other hand fell hard because of all the summons i kept calling
Hilarious video. Your monotonous tone + the dry jokes create a cocktail of cheeky humor that is hilarious for both gamers and non-gamers alike. Keep up the uploads man and feel free to make them more frequent and shorter with more content.
Rain of arrows or even the bow you get from radahn's rememberance in combination with radahn's spear arrows would help you out so much I think. Nevertheless, amazing video, sir!!
Just wanna say even though it’s to late that jumping then shooting is faster than standing and shooting with longbow (only done it with longbow Idk about shortbow) just thought I’d mention it for anyone else who wants to try this themselves
Since you went for Mohg, there's two items in the game that might be of interest: For killing Eleonora in the Second Church of Marika in Altus (end of Yura's questline), you get a physick tear that significantly reduces the damage on his "nihil" attack. For reaching the bottom of the capital sewers, you can find Mohg's Shackle, which works up to twice on first phase as long as he isn't below second phase threshold and not doing one of his counting moves. Arrow grinding sucks in this game, so gg on the run. I wouldn't have blamed you for killing the unique arrow merchants for the convenience, either.
You can get to Rykard without doing any of the assassinations. There's an illusory wall in one of the rooms that the Drawing Room Key opens that sets you on the path to Rykard.
if you want a rematch with mohg, the second church of marika in altus plateau gives you a physick that significantly reduces his phase 2 attack and also lets you power through it also if she left you for ricky she didn't deserve you
I think Pts only could be doable. Some of them are pretty dope. I'd run a faith build with support spells and use the pots that scale with faith for damage.
12 Pots with Good FTH and INT using just Fire Pots in which has the least amount of Resistance moat bosses have can demolish them. It's actually strong and the fact that you can just craft on the fly is nuts and only impeded by mats which can be farmed or picked up mostly. That's not including the obscene amount of physical throwable consumables which some scales to DEX and INT which makes Larval Tear very useful. Fact that you can sell boss souls or item loots for some sold consumables also helps the run. Though Pot Build requires setup like the Pot Head Helm and Proper Talismans.
I was kinda pissed you didn't put in the word to beat Melania with the bow but.....damnit that is one cute spacepup. That was a dirty trick and you know it.
For dragons, it's a lot easier to use the black short bow sold by the church of Marika merchant north of Liurnia lake at very south of the path that leads to lift and equipping the barrage ash of war, it scales very slightly better than the short bow and you don't lose speed when riding torrent so circling around and keeping arrows down range is easier, also should've picked up Radahn great bow because the ash of war is op when you level up the bow +10 and time it with the enemy's attacks or are standing in top of a ledge or ladder where bigger enemies can't get to you. Super easy cheese a lot of bosses with bows, also there is a talisman to increase bow damage by 10% so that would've helped you way more. Last thing, short bows are very good at run and gun, you can jump quick shot and land quick shot so 2 arrows while keeping your distance
ohh I thought you would use the rain of arrows attack - makes some easy fights for big enemies (mohg, dragonlord, etc) would‘ve loved to see your full malenia bow only - i‘m having a hard time with her
Been binge watching a lot of your videos the last few days and gotta say you're funny as fuck 🤣 I love the creativity of the challenges and you high key be doin great with them, even if your cheeks gettin clapped 1000 times lmao. Got a sub from me lookin forward to your future content man! 🙌
I love the skeletal mask+Raptors Black Feathers combo. It's cool as fuck! I also used Night Cavalry Gauntlets since they're black with nails. Fits the death bird theme. I couldn't find any pants that are my ideal so I just used the Black Knife Greaves. Still look super cool!
Greatbows are a different pain on their own for some reason than other bows. Probably because they are slow as heck even if the damage is good in which is bad for small bosses like Crucible Knights or Ulcerated Tree Spirit though if only focusing on Main Bosses then from Malekith up to Radagon is heavily a problem. Not for Elden Beast though surprisingly due to the amount of time spent of the Boss circling around for positioning and delayed attacks that gives the player time to shoot 1 arrow without danger.
@@bismarckimperia8781 I know, I really know, I am on Malenia try n. 157 and cannot get her to 2nd phase, if you have any tips let me know because right now it seems after morgott it is impossible to do it greatbow only, btw golem greatbow +10 lvl 85 damage to boss health bar only with greatbow no summons, without exploits of AI, it is as of right now after 2 weeks of trying impossible to do all remembrances, speedrun is any%greatbow only possible but right now I can't do it non glitch
@@samueltok9130 Malekith is possible for this run. His first phase is too slow for quick movement so getting the farthest and sniping him once then running to the farthest corner again and shooting him once until his second phase which repeats the process. Much more safer as he can possibly idle for 2-3 seconds due to you being maximum bow range before running at you. Though its like playing using a GS by using hit and run tactics but the ultra sniping version. He is possible for GB. Same for Fire Giant but just takes so goddamn long. Malekith Ultra Sniping Hit and Run tactic is useful for FG due to his slow ass Fire Balls of Doom, easier in the second phase but just too long. Though aim for the weak spots for a much more bonus damage. Just spam the AoW for Gideon, don't get in his range. Mogh is easy just bait his specific aerial dive in the second phase or use Ultra Sniping Hit and Run. Due to his semi-second phase in Godfey First Phase, Hit and Run won't work due to the shockwaves nor distacing. Bait a large combo then chuck an arrow. You need to chose where you'll dodge or when to release the arrow. You can also use the Arrow Hail to damage him always but the damage and consistency drops due to needing Flasks and Arrows. Honestly haven't fought Radagon with bows yet, but Elden Beast is the easiest one among the late game bosses for Greatbows along with Placudisax. Probably the biggest hurdle is Radagon, can't help you there yet, unless he can't knock off arrows or have a god dodging ability whenever you chuck your arrows at him. At his second phase just bait his 3hit AoE or some of his combos as you distance yourself. His teleport is easily telegraphed and has a short range so its also a pick to bait and hit.
@@samueltok9130 Bait specific attacks for Malenia, find an attack you can bait mid range to use or use Ultra Sniping Hit and Run, though her dodges are insane so AoW might be the only thing that can consistently damage her in the first phase but Flasks and Arrows will cost a lot, second phase is much easier due to the fact she will fly to be idle for some attacks in which 1 arrow can fly in per combo.
4:00 Bows do a surprisingly high amount of Damage because it’s not regulated to any category. It’s equally effective everywhere they really shine when you have somebody else taking Agro and because bows are so limited people can reliably Proc status effects with them because while there are ashes of war it seem like they were specifically made to counter a certain type of boss the same doesn’t apply to Bows
Just so you know:Short bows have roll,sprint and jump attacks.So you could've just done 1 jump attack,land,shoot and repeat.It was faster for me than the barrage skill but idk you do you
Not sure if you mentioned this but you can shoot with your bow faster if you jump and shoot. I’m not sure if it’ll decrease damage but it’s for sure faster when not using barrage.
I don't remember how far you have to be, but the invader in the lake agheel ravine will put you in a questline. Kill the invader, and later in the Atlus Plateau, around after you kill Maliketh, go to the church of Marika. There you'll be invaded. Kill the invader, and you'll get the wondrous physick thingy that makes you immune to Mohgs Nihil. Its simple, something you can worry about later, and makes his fight a lot more tolerable.
Honestly was not expecting bows to be so good in this game. From this video I feel like bows are actually much more fun then I thought. I might do a bow only build in the future, thanks!
The tree sentinel is my fucking kryptonite. My brain short circuits whenever I fight him, so I’m unable to learn from my mistakes or learn his patterns. You can only imagine my face when I saw him again waiting for me before Malekith.
I’ve seen a couple of videos asking “Can you bow only in Elden Ring?” and my instant reaction is always, duh I’ve seen it done plenty of times before but still I gotta see this shot. 🤙

1: There's a physique that super nerfs Mohg's super attack in a church in Altus Plateau that you get for defeating an invader, Bloody Finger Eleonora.
2: You don't need to do the assassinations to get to Rykard, there's a Magic Portal in Volcano Manor that teleports you straight there.
That's all, it was a really good video m8, and I'm exited for the Crossbow one!
Honestly I swear it’s quicker to do the assassinations, even if it’s not at least you get sick armor
Yeah, thanks Eleanora! For that and the cool Twinblade.
This guy one of those rare youtubers that genuinely makes me laugh out loud. Keep up the amazing videos
0:12 as a traditional archer this makes me smile
'
you just pissed off the compound and cross bow bros :) well done you just earned my sub ( and then you proceed to pick up a compound bow)
Bro please keep this up, it’s so hard to find content creators that are funny who’s videos feel genuine. keep killing it!!!
Absolutely amazing video, as well as the last couple of them. I really enjoy both the content and your presentation so keep up with the good work and can't wait to see more challenge runs from you! Much love
I love seeing people fight Mohg for the first time not knowing that you can almost entirely negate his blood ritual with a crystal tear. Tbh tho it's a little too obtuse to figure that shit out but it's not the first time From has pulled some shit like that.
ok
Thanks Eleanora!
ohhh that's what that is for? I just spammed flasks when he started his ritual
I got lucky I went on a avatar killing
I went on a avatar killing spree and found it read the description and then did it first try
For longbows (bows), it’s much easier to avoid being hit by shooting while jumping backwards. Doesn’t get you locked into the animation and creates some distance. I’ve been running bow since I started. Love it in this game.
I Came for the gameplay,but stayed for your unique sense of humor lol thanks for making my day! Stay safe and keep up the good work bro :)
This video made me laugh so much more than any other gaming video out there. Major props my guy, please keep pushing out this content
I absolutely love your videos

i like it
for anyone thinking about this as a run to try on their own: Its easier then it sounds, bows and some skill make alot of the game really, really easy. Some tips:
1: Arrows Sting is BETTER then arrows reach, but you should be using both. Arrows reach increases the distance before your damage drops off, sure, but bow builds like this are not always going to be able to choose their range. Whereas sting outright boosts base damage.
2: The ONLY bows you need are the composite shortbow, which you can buy for 3500 runes from the merchant right past entrance to liurnia (which you can skip to by heading north from the stormhill shack) and the black bow, which you can acquire in the capitol. The composite bow is a shortbow... this means it has the best moveset (ie quick fire from jump attacks, and quick fire from rolls) and can be fired from full gallop on torrent without slowing down. The black bow, has longbow damage and range with shortbow quickfire from jumps and rolls, PLUS it has access to barrage and is only worse then the composite bow in terms of horseback utility as using it on torrent will slow you down. Mighty shot is certainly a strong ability, but barrage has better dps at a fraction of the fp cost. And enchanted shot is arguably more useful then mighty shot. Until you get access to the capitol, however, the shortbow is your best option in terms of moveset.
3: You can get immediate access to mt gelmir without fighting any bosses by sprinting through fort faroth for the medallion half, and using the ladder. The bats wont be able to aggro or kill you in time, so as long as your'e fastish, so its not pixel perfect routing. The other half is in fort haight, but the blood knight isnt hard to kill with a shortbow so.... your choice, really.
4: You can get 1-9 somber stones before fighting ANY bosses, so long as you have a modicum of skill at jumping. Funnily enough, though, without wrong warps or skips there is only the 1 somber stone 7, but a handful of 8s or 9s.
5: You need, need NEED access to the mohgwyn crow farm as soon as possible, purely to make arrow farming efficient. I also recommend killing all the special arrow vendors (you can keep Kale alive, since most vendors sell base arrows), and also killing the Bell Bearing Hunter at the warmasters shack at night for the bone bell bearing. Doing this expedites your ability to accrue arrows.
6: If you dont want to bleed everything to death (which is less efficient because arcane doesnt effect arrow status buildup), fire arrows are the least resisted damage arrow in the game and have some solid damage. There are similar options for damage, but its best to look up boss weaknesses and choose the element arrow of choice.
7: Poison arrows suck dig bick. Your better off locating the rotbone arrows, and spending time chasing butterflies in the swamp. The ONLY time I would recommend poison arrows at all, is if you use the Serpent Bow against my recommendations. Serpent bow with poison arrows, unimproved (even with its broken arcane scaling which DOESNT WORK, btw) can two hit poison things, one hit if you use its mighty shot due to its unique interactions with poison infused arrows. Serpent bow is good for poison, and nothing else. And arguably, its not even worth it because you can just get similar results with the pulley bow, without the restrictions.
8:You will want to use a defensive talisman. I would recommend either the green turtle talisman if you trust your dodges, because of how stamina hungry short bows and the black bow can be, or doing some parkour at the bestial sanctum to get the dragoncrest talisman.
Woah this is like an essay but it’s super helpful, thank you for putting in the work for this comment!
I tried with the crest for fp reduction on my blackbow and it didnt reduce the cost to 1, since it round up and 25% of 2 doesnt drop it below 1.5
FP Red don't help though due to the FP cost literally too low to work with it, just use it for the stamina boosting one for the rolls and bow action.
@@Milenos ah well thanks for the clarification, I just assumed. 2 fp is still cheap, though.
@@Milenos fixed the comment, I know its long but I figured since I got this based on the algorithm, others will as well. So better to post here.
Just as a tip: You can unequip every weapon and armor before you fight the mimic. That way he copies you with no weapons and no armor. Then just equip your build and have fun.
That’s no fun, I use it to test builds and weapons…
Having the mimic be a caster was sick as fuck. It was rennala 2.0 for me xD
i see everyone do this and i just dont understand it. i love the idea of the boss mimicking the player exactly. just wish it had more hp or also had similar amounts of heals as the player
@@svartrbrisingr6141 apparently Mimic year is still top 3 in Summons , making it same hp as players easily makes it #1 and makes the game a lot easier
@@johnlsmjas9192 they're talking about the boss, not the summon.
Just came across your video randomly, seriously funny edits on top of great footage, kept me chuckling throughout, just subbed
I can't believe you did a whole bow run without using the main bow mechanic of JUMP SHOT.
It's the fastest attack you can do with a bow, and one of the bows can even get a quick shot after landing too
What a madlad
I just recently found your channel and let me just say I'm very impressed with your commitment to sticking it out and completing these crazy runs and making the videos funny and enjoyable to watch throughout. You're awesome man, keep up the good work and I'll keep watching for sure
🌽 DO YOU LIKE CORN sorry fine gentleman I meant do you take pleasure in consumption of zea mays?
Something I've been wanting to see from you is if you can beat the game with only Frenzied Flame incantations, I feel like working around/with the madness effect and using those kinds of incantations would be interesting to see ☺️
man dropped a colby covington reference in the draconic tree sentinel fight like i wouldnt notice
I'm so glad someone recognize that lmfao 😂
dude im a recent subscriber and just found out about you, but ive literally watched every single one of your videos because you are a freaking funny, genuine dude. you remind me of my friend and how we played all the souls games and like just having fun, thanks for the videos man youre the bomb
19:20 when you mentioned this I thought you were gonna mention how the demon firesage of DS1 is weak to fire
I’m going to guess Drizzt. Nice run, could have made it much easier for yourself with a pulley, composite or black bow and run an easy route for upgrades. But I’m guessing you wanted the challenge so I respect that.
Its beem YEARS since ive played a baldurs gate or dnd game, and that is immediatly who i went to when i seen the character lmao. Such a dope throwback
that's all that came to mind too, but I thought he was going for class theme too, and drizzt doesn't really use a bow from what I recall
Drizzt was my first guess but I remember him having purple eyes, or at least he does in the R.A. Salvatore books, can't say for any games since I haven't played them
@@furiousnoodles9857 yeah, he was the only drow to have purple eyes, iirc it's why he isn't blinded by sunlight
Bro, I read that series when I was like ten. It's been so long.
Hey Tye , if you follow Yura's questline and beat elenora.. you get a tear that you can add to flask which makes you immune to the NIHIL NIHIL attack of morgh
You dont have to follow yura's quest
This is a certified hood classic
FYI - the Purifying Crystal Tear you can get for your physick flask that will make you immune to that phase change damage during the Mohg fight. Also he has a shackle that will affect him found in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds.
Something to also possibly add into your runs is the Raptor's Black Feathers, it gives you a 10% damage increase to jump attack. You can jump attack with bows I believe, correct me if I'm wrong tho.
Raptor's Black Feathers is located behind an illusionary wall in the Sages Cave near the Altus Plateau. The White Mask, located in Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum after killing a white mask invader, raises attack power when something nearby (wearer included) suffers from Blood Loss (10% Damage, 20 secs). I believe it also stacks with the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman for an additional 20% damage for 20 secs. That's 40% additional damage under the right circumstances.
The Albinauric Bow, dropped by Albinauric Wolfback Archers around the Consecrated Snowfield, can be infused with ash of war, so I believe you can add frost to it for 20% damage boost to your bloodloss spike. Put barrage on that boy, if you can (haven't tested), and you'll pop these boys.
The Hammer Talisman gives a 20% buff to stamina-reducing attacks, does this apply to frostbite which reduces stamina recovery? Frostbite: Deals damage and lowers target's damage absorption by 20% and stamina recovery.
Talisman #1: Arrow's Sting Talisman - 10%
Talisman #2: Lord of Blood's Exultation - 20%
Talisman #3: Hammer Talisman - 20%
Talisman #4: Rotten Winged Sword Insignia: 13% at max tier.
Albinauric Bow - Frostbite: 20%
Raptor's Black Feathers: 10%
White Mask: 10%
Total: 103% additional damage under right conditions.
I ran a bow against Rennala as well, and im glad im not the only one who had a tough time with it 😁 Radahn on the other hand fell hard because of all the summons i kept calling
Hilarious video. Your monotonous tone + the dry jokes create a cocktail of cheeky humor that is hilarious for both gamers and non-gamers alike. Keep up the uploads man and feel free to make them more frequent and shorter with more content.
The no audio version had powerful vibes where it was just silence then the news that Ricky stole ur gal and left u with nothing but elden ring
The comedy this man spits out, reminds me of why I like the internet.
Rain of arrows or even the bow you get from radahn's rememberance in combination with radahn's spear arrows would help you out so much I think. Nevertheless, amazing video, sir!!
This actually makes me want to do a bow only run
Hell yes this question has been stuck in my head for a few days now and I was considering doing a bow only run in NG+, thank you senpai! 🙌
th-cam.com/video/camGwP_5yHA/w-d-xo.html
in NG+ is possible. on first run its bloody harsh.
Just wanna say even though it’s to late that jumping then shooting is faster than standing and shooting with longbow (only done it with longbow Idk about shortbow) just thought I’d mention it for anyone else who wants to try this themselves
Faster with the Shortbow, also has more faster to auto.
Since you went for Mohg, there's two items in the game that might be of interest:
For killing Eleonora in the Second Church of Marika in Altus (end of Yura's questline), you get a physick tear that significantly reduces the damage on his "nihil" attack.
For reaching the bottom of the capital sewers, you can find Mohg's Shackle, which works up to twice on first phase as long as he isn't below second phase threshold and not doing one of his counting moves.
Arrow grinding sucks in this game, so gg on the run. I wouldn't have blamed you for killing the unique arrow merchants for the convenience, either.
Great video man! I love the content, great balance of memes, struggle, and storytelling. Looking forward to the next one!
Can you beat Elden Ring as SpongeBob only using the bubble wand? Also you're Shadow Obama.
You can get to Rykard without doing any of the assassinations. There's an illusory wall in one of the rooms that the Drawing Room Key opens that sets you on the path to Rykard.
if you want a rematch with mohg, the second church of marika in altus plateau gives you a physick that significantly reduces his phase 2 attack and also lets you power through it
also if she left you for ricky she didn't deserve you
The commentary at 2:21 perfectly fit the sped up waddle of the magma wyrm. I laughed so hard.
8:53
*Genghis Kahn Smiles and Nods with a Single Tear of Pride Running Down His Face*
This is amazing and hilarious! Keep up the good work, I love your style.
Tye: "Crossbows are for weak people"
Me with two pulley crossbows: "Ah yes, very true"
I absolutely love your videos, excited to watch this one.
50 hours deep into my first play through on any dark souls game “bow only” and this is the video I’ve been looking for 🔥
Drinking water while watching this is a risky endeavor indeed
when I wanted another Eldin Ring video he came through in the best way
Just became the 70th thousand subscriber, I’m not sure why but I feel incredibly proud
I wonder how he's going with the consumables only challenge.
I think Pts only could be doable. Some of them are pretty dope. I'd run a faith build with support spells and use the pots that scale with faith for damage.
12 Pots with Good FTH and INT using just Fire Pots in which has the least amount of Resistance moat bosses have can demolish them. It's actually strong and the fact that you can just craft on the fly is nuts and only impeded by mats which can be farmed or picked up mostly.
That's not including the obscene amount of physical throwable consumables which some scales to DEX and INT which makes Larval Tear very useful.
Fact that you can sell boss souls or item loots for some sold consumables also helps the run.
Though Pot Build requires setup like the Pot Head Helm and Proper Talismans.
th-cam.com/video/LWdkDSPUTrY/w-d-xo.html🙏
Uh oh, I think he took the consumable video down
I was kinda pissed you didn't put in the word to beat Melania with the bow but.....damnit that is one cute spacepup.
That was a dirty trick and you know it.
For dragons, it's a lot easier to use the black short bow sold by the church of Marika merchant north of Liurnia lake at very south of the path that leads to lift and equipping the barrage ash of war, it scales very slightly better than the short bow and you don't lose speed when riding torrent so circling around and keeping arrows down range is easier, also should've picked up Radahn great bow because the ash of war is op when you level up the bow +10 and time it with the enemy's attacks or are standing in top of a ledge or ladder where bigger enemies can't get to you. Super easy cheese a lot of bosses with bows, also there is a talisman to increase bow damage by 10% so that would've helped you way more. Last thing, short bows are very good at run and gun, you can jump quick shot and land quick shot so 2 arrows while keeping your distance
I genuinely enjoy ur content sm, keep it up dude
Charlie is an absolute lad, Neil Armstrongs got nothing on my man
"Cross bow are for people with a weak bloodline."
What about the Hand Ballista?
ohh I thought you would use the rain of arrows attack - makes some easy fights for big enemies (mohg, dragonlord, etc) would‘ve loved to see your full malenia bow only - i‘m having a hard time with her
Always liked From Soft for letting me make my character look like a DnD Drow.
Been binge watching a lot of your videos the last few days and gotta say you're funny as fuck 🤣 I love the creativity of the challenges and you high key be doin great with them, even if your cheeks gettin clapped 1000 times lmao. Got a sub from me lookin forward to your future content man! 🙌
I love the skeletal mask+Raptors Black Feathers combo. It's cool as fuck! I also used Night Cavalry Gauntlets since they're black with nails. Fits the death bird theme. I couldn't find any pants that are my ideal so I just used the Black Knife Greaves. Still look super cool!
"Crossbows are only for people with a weak bloodline" xD
Also, I bet Radahn's bow goes crazy in this
Until Leyndell greatbow only run is easy, after that? Pain upon tons of pain
Greatbows are a different pain on their own for some reason than other bows. Probably because they are slow as heck even if the damage is good in which is bad for small bosses like Crucible Knights or Ulcerated Tree Spirit though if only focusing on Main Bosses then from Malekith up to Radagon is heavily a problem.
Not for Elden Beast though surprisingly due to the amount of time spent of the Boss circling around for positioning and delayed attacks that gives the player time to shoot 1 arrow without danger.
@@bismarckimperia8781 I know, I really know, I am on Malenia try n. 157 and cannot get her to 2nd phase, if you have any tips let me know because right now it seems after morgott it is impossible to do it greatbow only, btw golem greatbow +10 lvl 85 damage to boss health bar only with greatbow no summons, without exploits of AI, it is as of right now after 2 weeks of trying impossible to do all remembrances, speedrun is any%greatbow only possible but right now I can't do it non glitch
@@samueltok9130 Malekith is possible for this run. His first phase is too slow for quick movement so getting the farthest and sniping him once then running to the farthest corner again and shooting him once until his second phase which repeats the process. Much more safer as he can possibly idle for 2-3 seconds due to you being maximum bow range before running at you. Though its like playing using a GS by using hit and run tactics but the ultra sniping version.
He is possible for GB. Same for Fire Giant but just takes so goddamn long. Malekith Ultra Sniping Hit and Run tactic is useful for FG due to his slow ass Fire Balls of Doom, easier in the second phase but just too long. Though aim for the weak spots for a much more bonus damage.
Just spam the AoW for Gideon, don't get in his range.
Mogh is easy just bait his specific aerial dive in the second phase or use Ultra Sniping Hit and Run.
Due to his semi-second phase in Godfey First Phase, Hit and Run won't work due to the shockwaves nor distacing. Bait a large combo then chuck an arrow. You need to chose where you'll dodge or when to release the arrow. You can also use the Arrow Hail to damage him always but the damage and consistency drops due to needing Flasks and Arrows.
Honestly haven't fought Radagon with bows yet, but Elden Beast is the easiest one among the late game bosses for Greatbows along with Placudisax.
Probably the biggest hurdle is Radagon, can't help you there yet, unless he can't knock off arrows or have a god dodging ability whenever you chuck your arrows at him.
At his second phase just bait his 3hit AoE or some of his combos as you distance yourself.
His teleport is easily telegraphed and has a short range so its also a pick to bait and hit.
@@samueltok9130 Bait specific attacks for Malenia, find an attack you can bait mid range to use or use Ultra Sniping Hit and Run, though her dodges are insane so AoW might be the only thing that can consistently damage her in the first phase but Flasks and Arrows will cost a lot, second phase is much easier due to the fact she will fly to be idle for some attacks in which 1 arrow can fly in per combo.
there is actually a tear for your wonderous physick flask that disables that ting mohg does in the middle of the fight.
The amount of comedy in this vid is golden. Love it
Been using bows a lot myself, and I tend to use rain of arrows against larger enemies... works really well!
Me and all my homies hate Ricky.
Great vid dude!
It’s dark link
4:00 Bows do a surprisingly high amount of Damage because it’s not regulated to any category. It’s equally effective everywhere they really shine when you have somebody else taking Agro and because bows are so limited people can reliably Proc status effects with them because while there are ashes of war it seem like they were specifically made to counter a certain type of boss the same doesn’t apply to Bows
7:38 it's probably easier to get in the sense of no boss fight given how out of the way it is. It's in a high level area surrounded by difficult mobs.
Just so you know:Short bows have roll,sprint and jump attacks.So you could've just done 1 jump attack,land,shoot and repeat.It was faster for me than the barrage skill but idk you do you
Cute dog👍
The monotone delivery was just perfect
Not sure if you mentioned this but you can shoot with your bow faster if you jump and shoot. I’m not sure if it’ll decrease damage but it’s for sure faster when not using barrage.
I don't remember how far you have to be, but the invader in the lake agheel ravine will put you in a questline. Kill the invader, and later in the Atlus Plateau, around after you kill Maliketh, go to the church of Marika. There you'll be invaded. Kill the invader, and you'll get the wondrous physick thingy that makes you immune to Mohgs Nihil. Its simple, something you can worry about later, and makes his fight a lot more tolerable.
I’m lookin at this video and I’m so happy you got almost a million and a half views. Congrats
Turdburglar…Breaking out a classic!
Dude, I just found you like 2 days ago, and wowie, that's a huge growth! Congrats man, loving your vids!
this guy should be way more popular, hes got the formula down and makes really fun challenges
I am happy to admit that I have never been killed while knocked off of my horse in elden ring
“Yeah I’m not the sharpest arrow in the shed” 😂
Dude. You're getting views that is literally 8 times your subscribers. You are most definitely doing great work!
probably the funniest eldin ring playerr ive ever watched
“I was simply taking a knee for all are first responders” I see you are cultured my boy
I love your sense of humor
Honestly was not expecting bows to be so good in this game. From this video I feel like bows are actually much more fun then I thought. I might do a bow only build in the future, thanks!
The tree sentinel is my fucking kryptonite. My brain short circuits whenever I fight him, so I’m unable to learn from my mistakes or learn his patterns. You can only imagine my face when I saw him again waiting for me before Malekith.
I’ve seen a couple of videos asking “Can you bow only in Elden Ring?” and my instant reaction is always, duh I’ve seen it done plenty of times before but still I gotta see this shot. 🤙
First video I've watched from you, you just popped up in my recommended feed (lots of Elden Ring Stuff there now lol). Super funny video! And definitely gonna use some your tips to up my bow and arrow game.
Subscribed because of all the amazing references to media I've seen in the past i.e. deathnote. Great content my man
