How to make a "Bow" Only build in Elden Ring 

ok

Nice

Yes

Maidenfull behaviour!!

The music list in the decription is from the previous video. lol

Elden Ring No walking when Edit: I already know ffs

Hey at least in elden ring a miracle build is more doable than ever

Oh he went there LOL

@u know me this is the first “finally it’s here” comment that seems relevant, lucky bot.

Suckers bet, no dice

I thought about the same thing but it's annoying as SHIT to get, also I think it's 12500, even better.

Wait where??

@@myprogram3067 You can ride Torrent the whole way around the tower to it. It's very safe, and the stone arches can be platformed across with double jump.

Doesn't work with this glitch

@@mattyryon It... wasnt supposed to be? Its just a gameplay suggestion

Thank you. I wanted a legit bow build not a glitch that can get patched

@@spinerflame7922 You did comment it on a video about the glitch specifically, and didn't indicate that it's not for use with this

Lol imagine rot rain and bleeding arrows right after each other that would be hella deadly

My dumbass didn't even know what they were for and I only wanted to buy a few for experimenting.. I ended up maxing my inventory with them.

good luck killing him at low level with that sanguine noble on ur ass lmao

Well, shit. Now I have to go back.

Problem is there are mutliple Sanguine Nobles spawn near him, and it's a narrow pathway you can't avoid. Good luck deal with them at low level.

@@windflier1684 run through the tunnel and out the other side to the site of grace. Then come in from that side hugging the left (not quite to the wall just drop off the ledge and follow it). And you can get to him without pulling the sanguine nobles!

Very true

The skyrim special

It's been...a long time.

sure does

The one build that truly never dies.

Same… at least I didn’t have the worst time beating nk

Nah, you forget that Malenia is basically Sister Friede's daughter

@@shaquiberaihan6212 Considering both are basically the hardest boss in their respective games, it makes sense.

@@barkerbarks2537 NK took me so long the first time beating him. Several playthroughs later, muscle memory made me beat him the first time. He is absolutely a boss you need to learn the pattern and take your time to beat. Elden ring seems like there is no real pattern to bosses like there was before. Its just burst them down before they can kill you. There is next to no window on some bosses attacks, especially if you get knocked down. I feel the knockdown mechanic punishes you way to hard for how fast some of the bosses move. I love the game, but if you don't do some overpowered build you have a bad time on some of these multi fight bosses, or ones that constantly attack. There are however quite a few that are fair and not hard, but too many of the multi-mini boss boss rooms they don't leave a window to attack. So the game feels built around either 1 shotting the bosses or having someone tank while someone else attacks be a summon or an spirit

@@iHaveTheDocuments Midir would like to have a word with you in Private.

le sad, seemed like a fun way to play even just PvE :D

Thank you for letting us know hero💪🏽

Fromsoft is always more interested in modding their nonsensical combat system instead of fixing their bosses

@@tylerlackey1175 fixing what bosses o.o

@@malpheus4299 wfd

It happened way too fast for me. How does he get the weapon switch thing?

@@brandylshey9367Ok, left hand bow, right hand cannon. Two hand the bow, then charge an arrow, as if you wanted to fire. Then, instead of letting go to fire the arrow, press the button to use an item that gives you a Yes or No prompt. When you press that button the bow should aoutmatically fire the cannons ammo. And you need to have both arrows and the bolts you want to fire equipped.

@@Arance_Rosse as max0r put it: go go gadget concealed carry

@@Arance_Rosse is this trick still available in 1.09?

@@akanalan Don't believe so, no. Pretty sure it was fixed in 1.05

Working as intended lol

it technically still uses the same engine as Ds3 lol (if I'm not wrong)

@@Mgirald yeah since dark souls 2 every each of them uses same engine

@@splintergp wrong, ds2 has its own unique engine, then they remade a new engine for blooborne, which they have been using ever since

It's not a bug. It's a feature.

Don't try to find logic in the ravings of an insane Russian eldritch horror enslaved to a greater eldritch horror

He could not use left stick*

It is arbitrary but at the end of the day it is fun.

@@isaacmayer-splain8974 he is Korean btw

@@Exoskel2 he is? Even in the parts where he talks (the "Thank you dark souls" parts I think) I can't tell he's Korean Maybe cuz I never heard a Korean person's voice before

he did!

And the best skyrim content!

Finally I can get my Souls out of the Soilder of Godrick fight

@@AlfredoSoraX you can get your souls out of any fight by entering, picking up the souls, then exiting game - spawn back outside the gate with souls

@@pa7764 Solidier of Godrick kills too quickly for that

@@slyseal2091 good point, elite gamers ONLY

great tip

Wish it was the punching tbh

Had to explain to my friends why I was skeptical of this run after his other "bow" only runs.

One 11 second video and 295k subs? Is this a bot farm account or something?

@@Hikurac nah, they just comment a lot on a LOT of videos so everyone kinda just subscribes

Could have sworn you used to have blue hair and a moustache

Ymfah can make everything work. It's not limited to Elden ring.

Yep, the first boss I fought in the open world was a big fuck off dragon. No way in hell I could've beaten that melee but my starting bow and about 90 arrows later it was dead. Even hiding behind cover to avoid the flames it was still a brutal fight. Never played a ranged character in Soulsborne before but my Samurai is getting far more worth out of the bow than the Uchi. Buying arrows is actually of greater benefit than spending runes on levels atm, which puts an extremely interesting twist on things.

Watch it now while you can, folks! F1 are absolutely rabid about copyright striking anyone who plays their theme. Like you can't even have the music turned on while streaming the F1 videogame!!!

@@gupiwa how long does it take for them to strike it's been 1 whole day !!

It sucks

@@sheepdog5799 your mom

Holy shite yeeesssssss

JAR BONK

the only bow no arrows run

A lot of the main fights won’t let you use the horse though :/ (Sorry for being pedantic, I know this comment was almost certainly a joke)

@@roach9397 It's ymfah, he'd find a way

They don't! Bows deal good damage at good range, they build up statuses quick and allow for relative safety. Hell, on specific builds, bows can crest 1200 damage (no RTSR required)

@@Data-AnalystSera in pvp it's really easy to dodge the arrows and in pve the arrows themselves don't do much dmg you just have to wait till the poison does the work also scarlet rot and sleep arrows would be very powerful but their craft needs materials that are incredibly difficult to farm

@@Data-AnalystSera Eh, doing normal runs with a bow sucks especially since anything bigger than a shortbow has no running or rolling attacks and are just slow in general. there's also the thing of it generally being really expensive and a lot of bosses won't let you stay far away for very long

@@Data-AnalystSera lol I play bow, they’re mid at best. Lock on is atrocious with about 15% of arrows hitting a competent player It takes about 8-9 arrows to kill a proper 125 build It takes a strength/dual nagitaka /any long pokey build one single powerstances lunge to take you out, one single roll catch/hit and you’re done, vs 9 arrows No viable bows scale in arcane, so while bleed can be inflicted from one power stances attack with melee, you can’t even make an occult shortbow, making pvp status take forever and incredibly weak via bow. Literally damn near everything got buffed last patch, and the bow which was already considered underpowered, was untouched. That’s a direct power slide. Bows are decent for certain bosses that allow you to just dodge+jumpshot backwards and rarely get hit (beast clergy man, mohg) but other bosses are way harder than most builds Not unworkable in pve, but definitely a poor choice for pvp. It could be argued they were workable before the last patch, but damn near every weapon beats it 1 on 1 now w the buffed recoveries. Bow pvp RU-vidrs make it look workable and viable, but 90% of their opponents are just bad/using joke builds, and not showing when a competent meta build ends them in 20 seconds. They genuinely need a huge buff

Honestly, I don't know what y'all quite mean. I played through the game using only a bow, it was quite good. The damage sat between a cool 200-300, which isn't a lot but the speed, range, and frequency of arrows meant I could pepper bosses non stop. My main arrows were stormwing and poisonbone. It worked more than well enough, and I didn't need too much to pull it off. I mostly used the Black Bow and Albanuric bow. Albanuric Bow deals absolutely insane damage, no joke. Any boss that can be headshot will take 1k+ damage from a mighty shot direct hit, which isn't super bad on most bosses. Black bow, however, is better because of the speed and having barrage. It's very unorthodox and hard to get used to, but bows are perfectly viable for pve. As for pvp, it depends on the bow. My favorite weapon for pvp is the hand ballista, and it cleans out. The black bow is great for sleep/poison combos to wear opponents down. It's, of course, going to perform worse than other things, dare I say worse than most things, but it is perfectly viable

the auto cannon has superior stagger swagger, but the howitzer has more range

@u know me maidenless

I mean, you kind of have to be.

big bellied swamperts are the best maidens

I'd be ymfah's maiden ;)

@@genevievew.5837 Gay

weird? its just an archer class basically but definately hard

i second that. It's a major pain but you can still do it.

oh fk me I went through all the trouble of killing Godskin noble cause I thought it was patched thoroughly.

@@pwnmonkeyisreal there is a way to platform around godskin boss..i did it yesterday on my rl1 run

I've only played post update, I thought it was always that hard!

Came here to post this. It took me a solid 5 minutes but if you really want a +7, it's still the way to go. The only other alternative at that point in the game would be to kill godskin noble, which would be possible with the right strat, but probably more trouble than the bridge still.

can't be seen if everyone is impaled and exploded

But useful Hawkeye is useless if evreyones been detonated into gibs!

L still maidenless

You lose your maiden in that area💀

Same here , also people appears to say that lighting is the strongest arrow, follow by storm veil arrows

@@Chkprofilename no

this is the big bonk of archer builds

That was added in a later update, and didn't exist when this video was made. But it's still good to know for everyone without PS+.

@LittleZbot Yeah i just wanted to make sure people knew, so those who didn't want to go online could still have a way of doing this.

Which video is that please?

@@sad8648 consumable only run I believe?

@@sad8648 Consumables only Bloodbourne

Still doable, just much harder

@stupid Cat No fun allowed ya know.

did you have fun doing the glitch

@stupid Cat thing is I wouldn't even call it a glitch, definitely harmless though. Being able to jump onto that ledge just kinda made sense with the way this game's platforming works so really it just seemed like clever use of the game's geometry to create a little shortcut. Patching it the way they did just seems a bit unnecessary

@@oxxy6678 "glitch" is something like wrongwarps or zips. this is just platforming.

@@EliasKaydanius It's obvious though that it's not intented to be reachable from that point

dude, we'll be lucky if they dont get this shit patched by a month from now, they've been on everything zullie covers within like 2 weeks.

@@gremlinman9724 Yeah, why is it smoothies though.

my dude, bows in pvp sucks beyond belief, this is a bug i can ignore

@@gremlinman9724 Carian Retaliation bug was a thing for almost 2 months since release. They care, but not THAT much

Well we like to go to every side of the map...

88 hours and ive just recently killed fire giant and got to miquella haligtree

Yo ! \[T]/

far easier and more reliable to do this before you have jar cannon, instead of praying you can win with poison in two tries. helped a lot

also prioritize the rotbone arrows for the fight instead of serpent arrows, you can farm materials for it at the abandoned cave where you get the serpent bow

Not sadly, they just need to buff scaling

I've been doing a bow-only run and endgame is fucking miserable because bows simply DO NOT scale well enough whatsoever. The only remotely viable tactic is, predictably, to spam bleed arrows, but unfortunately you're capped on how many arrows you can carry at a time still so it becomes almost impossible to kill some bosses without resorting to alternative arrows like poison or scarlet rot.

Basically no scaling and super expensive ammo

@@freedmfe8934 might get patched, but it's not nearly as good as just running spells or Bolt of Gransax if you want ranged damage, so it probably won't ruin anything unless there's parts of it that could transfer UGS damage to a dagger or sumn

Until Radagon decides to catch all your arrows. Not knowing about the black bow and with maxed out damage from talismans I dealt a pitiful 150 damage per arrow if they connected. At least Elden Beast was incredibly easy. I would recommend anyone ho goes for a bow build to at least use ashes for some support.

you're allowed to walk in it, it just does a small amount of chip damage. He hops backwards as it's faster movement but you can 100% walk through it.

the survive 1.04 is refering to the weapon swap glitch he is using. Its taking the cannons damage with the bows animation, so you can take hard hitting weapons but with very fast animations. 1.04 nerfed a lot of shit, so its surprising that weapon swap wasn't nerfed. You can weapon swap literality at the start of the game.

okay

how have you lived on the internet for so long and not seen an elden ring video? (the games been out for months)
