"Screw it I'll just use the other hand."
> rolls a 20
Critical hit incoming
Lol Nat 20
Note to self: If I ever meet Nick, I will not bet him on any games of skill, no matter how bad he appears to be at them.
Ahh...I am the 1000th like. Its so satisfying to see that 999 turn into 1K
@@arunabhkashyap6892 nice try
"Odysseus, he goes off on this mega, huge journey"
You mean... an odyssey?
You do know he was called Ulysses ?
MrATN800 If you speak Latin, yes. Both names are acceptable for that one character.
@@MrATN800 Both names are correct friend. Ulysses is the Latin name, Odysseus the Greek one.
furthermore, Odyssey means Odysseus' story, like Aeneid means the Aeneas' story, or Iliad is the Ilion's story (Ilion is Troy).
@Hope Beattie you stole that but it's still funny
Nick wins Pubg with no practice
Nick gets through all axes with no practice
This man put all his points into luck
No, just quicksave before attempting everything, if it goes wrong, reload the quicksave
The only thing he practiced was his luck
He played Sm4sh and only spammed judgment hammer as game and watch until he got 10 9s in a row
Then he waited for 3 powerballs and won all of them
And finally he mastered of first try
That is how he improved his luck
John Murphy
No he’s just Odysseus
Well he has been shooting the bow a lot :P
And the likes are 777, sure luck
i refuse to believe this. you can never really trust VFX experts
Tobechi Nosiri lol.
lol
Yes but the thing is you'd literally be able to tell if they did. They may be VFX experts but even they make a lot of mistakes.
Noooo now your making me doubt their skill
That reminds me of the old saying: "Never play poker against a magician."
i love how different people do different problems. on mythbusters they carefully line it up, build a robot, analyse the arrows. here its like "hey dude, make some axes and gimme a bow"
even Nick, the left handed guy was like "fuck it, I'll use the other hand"
Mythbusters: Used metal axes
These guys: Used foam axes
That will make a big difference since these guys hit the axes pretty much every time which would have deflected the arrow if they were made of metal.
@@jamesjellis Excluding Nick. Nick would have passed the test.
@@jamesjellis That isn’t really a needed factor since its the part of shooting through the holes. Its just them trying to not accidentally kill someone with a deflected arrow.
@@jamesjellis Not really. If anything it makes it harder. Where hitting the edge of the hole in a metal axe has a chance that the arrow will deflect back toward the center, with the foam all but the most glancing blow the foam will deform and place considerably more drag on the shaft than a metal one would. Furthermore the light weight of the foam means it has less resistance to rotating, thereby closing up the hole's cross-section and catching the arrow by its fletches. Either way with a small hole that long the arrow is going to bounce off the sides quite a bit because arrows bend and wobble in flight. It would take a true master to time the wobble so that it doesn't touch all the way though.
Of course, that's kind of the whole point of the test...
Hahaha myth busters jr said no other person has tried this shot but they have never heard of Niko apparently
I like CHIPS!!! But the axes are not made of metal
Myth buster did it first
@@nggaknormal Did you check the release date of each vid properly?
@@nggaknormal You're a total idiot if you believe that.
@@joevenespineli6389 oh sh..
But the hard part is stringing the bow ( the Bow of Apollo), none of the suitors is able to string the Bow.
The shot itself is just a mere formality.
Ramayana did it better
Spiderniko Not the bow of Apollo (who wasn't on his side of the war), Odysseus' old personal bow that had been sitting in his attic for 20 years.
@@vlonp
I haven't actually read the Ramayana or the Odyssey yet, but yeah, ABSOLUTELY
@@vlonp yeah, dude sounds exactly like that scene from ramayana. Is this some kind of old bow arrow trope?
Right, Apollo was among the gods to support the Trojans during the war. Odysseus was the chosen hero of Athena, but she wasn't permitted to aid him during the odyssey, because Zeus deemed Poseidon's claims for revenge as justified. Only when things got a little out of hand Athena and Hermes were allowed to intervene.
Nick is the king of being good at things on his first try
PUBG
Being Odysseus
Maybe he should run for president
Just no second term
You forgot to add being in the mummy to the list.
I second this
His Super power is LUCK
he's domino
What if Niko just edited in a CGI arrow?
What if Niko is CG?
Yes
They have been talking about deep fakes a lot hmmm...
Conspiracy theories on this bitch
the arrow was a paid actor
you know Nico kinda even looks like Odysseus
he's got the curly hair and beard as well as the orange hair that he is usually depicted having
Nico=Oddysseus confirmed
Ha ha I was looking for that comment to not repeat it myself. Nico could be a modern Odysseus indeed.
Indeed , i thought the same.
i think odysseus is reincarnated into him
All hail King Nico Odysseus!
Somebody call Doctor. I think Tardis got stolen.
she didn't forget who her husband was Athena told her to have her suitors preform a task that only Odysseus could pull off, the men were not claiming to be Odysseus they were her suitors ie looking to marry his widow
Wich means she hold her Husband so dear that she knew she would be alone if he wouldn't come back.
@Thelondonbadger that goes both ways
Thelondonbadger how the fuck is this relevant in any way u fucktard
@Thelondonbadger lmao if ur girl cheats on u then she's not the one. . . Doesn't mean anything about women in general
@Eric von Hippel
Penelope also didn't believe the man to be Odysseus until he described how their bed was handcrafted from an olive tree that was still rooted.
The real challenge wasn’t shooting it through the axe heads it was tiring the bow at all. The bow in the story has a draw strength of something like 300 pounds and Odysseus was the only one who could really do it because he’s awesome
300 pounds..... But in the clips, the arrows didnt go through the dudes.... I feel like 300 pounds could definitely do that. Fix ur shit Hollywood.
In fact the challenge was stringing the bow - bending the incredibly powerful bow so that the drawstring could be hooked on.
Thats what I was thinking. Bc tbh if ur accuracy is good enough you just aim center prespective. Like duh? Lol
Now that I think about it. Odysseus must’ve had one hell of a strong back, especially if he could shoot a bow with a 300 pound draw strength. Dang. Lol
Yeah, the bow was so powerful, no other man could ever string it, much less fire it accurately. They are not even using an ordinary warbow. Nothing even close.
Nice try, y’all forgot one major part of the challenge, the bow that belonged to Odysseus was made for him, and was extremely strong, the first part of the challenge was to string the bow. Then shoot the arrow through the axe loops.
yeah it was like a steel bow or something shit
TallicaMan1986 the version of the Odyssey I read the bow was made of segmented wood bound in leather think of it as a phone book each page (piece of wood) is fragile by itself but added to the book (bow) it became stronger and stronger the challenge itself wasnt about strength either but technique as Odysseus's bow was a specific bow the challengers knew nothing about as it required the leg and arm to string it as it was crafted to be to strong to string with just arms
Some scholars actually suspect that it may have been recurve, which did exist then, but was very rare. The technique to string a recurve is very different from the bows all the other lords would be used to, so only Odysseus was able to do it because he knew the technique. After all, Odysseus's greatest attribute is his intellect, not his raw strength. It is this very feature that makes hims stand out against so many other Golden Age of War heroes.
Ghrond Industries you said what I said but you sound smart were I Sound like I have the IQ of a noodle head
Thank you, ser. I assure you, any difference in intellect is an illusion based solely on vocabulary.
Wren: “I will beat you Nico.”
Nico shrugs: “Ok.”
Wren makes a face of oh dear.
Hey Niko, not sure you'll see this but it's worth a shot.
I've done competitive recurve archery for four years and was trained by the first female gold medalist of Korea. I just wanted to say, I'm so glad to see how your form has been improving! It's clear that you've been practicing quite a lot, and I definitely see the huge improvement you've made since the early archery days of the corridor channel.
The one thing I'd advise is that while you have like 90% of your form correct (at least in regards to Olympic style competitive recurve archery), a key component you are missing is that you should keep your anchoring hand tucked right under your chin (with your fingers touching your jawline and your lip touching the string) at full anchor. Due to the design of the modern recurve bow, this is the position at which the arrow flies along an optimal straight and consistent path every time you shoot.
Hope you find that helpful in your shooting! Again, congrats on the huge improvement in your archery skills and I look forward to more archery content in your videos!
(ps, feel free to hit me up in the LA area if you ever want free archery lessons!)
I've shot a bow like 3 times, so take this as an amateur asking a question not me being a know-it-all. I was under the impression the "bring it back to X position" is more about consistency than form. Meaning that if you hold the arrow differently every time then you're not going to learn how to adjust your aim as much. The jaw/lip position is the best for distance and straightness? Again, I'm seriously just asking and trying to explain why I thought that. Thanks for your time. Recurve Bows Can't Melt Steel Arrows!
That is assuming they are using a Olympic Recurve, which they clearly isnt. They are using traditional bow which means there is no sight (obviously) hence the "palm under jawline" wont work. The best way to aim a traditional recurve is with 3 fingers under the nocking point and have the nocking point situated on the inner corner of your eye(between ur eye and the bridge of ur nose)
Corey Carnes the 'jaw/lip position' offers more consistency and allows you to see the string alignment, which means even more consistency.
That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to answer me.
Windy blower I shoot both English longbow and barebow recurve (without sights) and what bushdid9/11 said can apply to both of those bows. They use American flatbows- very similar to English longbows however they have an arrow rest so the technique will be very similar to the bow types I shoot (I have also shot American flatbow and the technique works).
"Luck isn't a superpower... And it isn't cinematic!" *nick steps in*
Deadpool 2 Nice
That's so badass, I'd definitely have Niko on my zombie apocalypse team.
Yes be impressed by a bunch of people NOT recreating the shot accurately. If they had used metal axes they would NOT have succeeded as you can clearly see the arrow hits the axe heads in every shot and a metal axe head would deflect the arrow a lot more. Also their holes are too big.

The challenge was to string the bow THEN shoot the arrow through 12 axes, no one could string his bow
True. Or fire it because it had an incredible draw weight.
Draw weight of 500 pounds
Many scholars think it is because the bows were of composite recurve design, which is hard to string if you don't know how to. If you do, you can string it like Odysseus, without "standing up"
With all things Odysseus, there was a trick to it, not that he was especially strong.
@@seancoyote yea probably
I'm watching all of these out of order, and I somehow always end up in the "Adrian's Broken Collarbone" Era
One of the best eras in Corridor tbh.
6:40 You're welcome
nigga ugay but that one was way more epic
thanks
Dan Motovlogs Is
Thanks
hat gay
I love how dad-like Niko gets when they're doing the hanging thing. He's always looking out for his boys.
I think the axes would’ve been actual metal axes so they wouldn’t really move that much so if it hit it it wouldn’t just still keep going it would probably just stop
the axe fight at the end would have been more entertaining as well
Niko can catch a Nerf dart with a pair of chopsticks and fire an arrow through 12 axes. He is a GOD!

Lol
Oh shoot only got 11 axes laying around, maybe next time.
Andy001z underrated comment
“This will be very challenging.”
Niko gets it on his first try
So.... I always figured that the axe heads in question were axe heads removed from their hafts, and the holes to be shot through were the holes for those hafts. I always found it odd that the common interpretation required either ornate Hollywood style axes or modified axes.
That's of course how it was supposed to be. This here is just plain stupid.
Yes, the target was through the hole of the hafts. From the translated early version by A.T. Murray (1919):
"...even from the chair where he sat, and let fly the shaft with sure aim, and did not miss the end of the handle of one of the axes, but clean through and out at the end passed the arrow weighted with bronze."
Martyaxvar Hmm, nice prose translation. I grew up with a proper poetry translation with the original rhythmic style of the memorized 48 songs, that were finally written down in the classical period. Of cause this did require a bit of poetic license to the famed translator.
@@johnfrancisdoe1563 WOW! I sure will try finding the poetic one in the future!
If your interested, my source is an online database called Perseus Digital Library. They have the primary Greek, & Latin texts like Homer, Vergil, Philosophers,. As well as Arabic texts, German, most prominent authors of English Renaissance literature and Italian poetry, &19th-C American. Allthese texts both in original language as translated in English. Even Archaeological artifact browser.
I got to know the site through my Librarian courses. It's one of my favorite sites.
John Francis Doe stfu
And that’s when they realized what they had forgotten
Niko is a god tier human
What I realized watching this video is that nothing they did was accurate. They used foam instead of metal axes (metal would deflect the arrow a LOT more and 100% of their shots hit the axes so would have deflected). Their holes are larger than the myths. Be impressed if you want but it's not that impressive since everything they changed made the shot easier to make.
@@jamesjellis
bro
It’s called a myth for a reason
@@jamesjellis it's just a video on UA-cam bro.

Great video. Almost killed your neighbors with that stray shot, but still a great video lol
Wow. Niko seems to genuinely know about, and is good at, archery.
ok im an archer..ive been shooting over 40 years..im beyond impressed... you need to sign up for the olympics..

@J A either that or it was a recurve bow and no one knew the technique to string it.
Only on the Corridor Crew do we get to see employees shoot arrows through multiple axe's at WORK
Or, you know, in movies and tv
Nick is the king of flukes
He's beginning to believe!
basil B using his non dominant hand...
Or maybe... he's just that good?
12:02 and 12:29 I appreciate Niko so much. Even if it's his responsibility as boss.
Did they cut the build part of this out cuz I remember Jake building the axes out of fome
Get well soon Adrian!
Joel Kang thx !
hanging off a cliff is not great physio.
please refer to Steve for advice.
Call it "words of dont's" - with Steve
Or just dont hang off a cliff.
I thought it was a continuity error.
Thanks dude! :D
5:00 is when I realized y'all did it in your back yard, with the possibility of an arrow going over the wall and hitting somebody else. Good job.
Yup. Pretty irresponsible. A common beginner mistake
Well, no risk no fun. Especially if there is no risk for others XD
Cmike is a guy
Correct. For now.
Truly I have been blessed
what the hell person you cant assume that in 2018
Next Corridor Crew video- We Become Diverse! CMike's Transition Timeline
NickMillion A good-looking fellow if I may add.
Did they cut out the part where it showed Jake making the axes, and most of Nikos shot?
I’m seeing this now and I’m starting to get the feeling Niko is good at everything
All I see is a group of guys modifying the myth to make it many times easier (making the holes larger than they should be, making the axes out of foam not metal so the arrow does NOT deflect like it should). It is easy to look good at everything when you cheat and change the parameters of the test.
Wrens face when they were setting up the desk :L priceless
ay look its the guy who was a tool to Barry, I haven't seen you in a while, what a small world we have
Can I just say that the two man archery was a very anime esque moment
Or northern mythology It was how Baldur died, from a mistletoe fired from a bow aimed by Loki but fired by Baldur's blind brother Hodur
Not helped by the fact that their string is on upside down...
"There's literally a metal pole here, what the heck!"
But like... you guys could have killed someone.
I actually showed this video to my teacher and we watched it in class lol everyone liked it 🤣🤣
(How I explain the fail Bow shot scene)
"You are NOT The Father"
*dances while killing people*
yikes, that was an unexpected rickon spoiler LOL
That was the sixth season, almost three years ago. I think the statute of limitations on spoilers is well over.
Especially since it's really easy to forget what happened to who before you watch the show
Ex: i watched the red wedding with a friend explaining names like a month before and still didn't know who was going to die in that scene when i got to it
me: starts laughing
video: kid gets shot by arrow
me: oh (regrets laughing)
Yeah is kind of sudden.
Well this wouldn’t have happened if he zigzagged
i laughed harder
I discovered you guys only a few days ago and I can’t stop watching. Keep up the good work 👍
So who came back here after watching the Myth buster jr. replicate this

Since Niko said he and Nick are practically brothers, I cannot unsee it. 😂
If memory serves... the challenge was if they could even draw the bow... the axes were a flex at that point.
*edit*- STRING the bow... like even make it a bow and not a f'd up stick
I love the Odyssey... the entire thing reads like a story about a guy explaining to his wife why he was late getting back from the bar at night. "Check this sh*t out... we were on our way home... and these wicked hot chick's were all 'hey baby' and my boys were all 'oh yeah' and I was 'no way' so I had that whole thing to deal with... then there was this ... um... giant dude trying to fight us.. and check this... he had ONE eye..."
What I love about the story is there's this badass bow that nobody could string, let alone draw back, and yet that was the bow that Odysseus left home when going off to war. How awesome was the bow he took with him?
"My neck! Give me a standing desk!"
"My knees are achy..."
God damn it, Clint. You'r e one of those employees...
Well, he does take some funky health oils so caring about ergonomics is just par for the course.
Forget firing the arrow through the axes... the suiters couldn't even string his bow, lol
nick is like the quiet best friend thats secretly good at everything but doesnt tell anybody
Nick is the first try king. PUBG, now archery.
I agree with Christian, Niko is the best archer of the bunch. He did that shot on the first try.
And the second!
I was genuinely entertained more than I thought I'd be
Subbed
Everyone who was in freshman year English: “hey I have seen this one before”
"ill hold it, you pull it back" ahh the voice of alcohol, ive missed you old friend
that bow battle was intense!
Don't you mean axe battle?
Mr. Awesome Animations not really it was more funny.
Mr. Awesome Animations J
Mr. Awes. ' n , ome Animations
yeah it's; but Niko won
Love the stray arrow shot. My neighbors got mad I laughed so hard.
"what was there else?" "the trojan war?"
You don't say, the whole reason he went away from his home…
6:30 is like that scene from brave when that guy keeps making the arrow fall out but then accidentally gets a bullseye
6:45 that was very smooth, didn’t expect that when he was just joking around
Actually, King of ithaca,I recently finished the book in one of my classes
The whole build part is just gone from the video all of a sudden. Am I the only one with this problem? Can you even edit something out of a UA-cam video once it's uploaded or is it just a glitch?
same
indeed, watched this video multiple times before and that jump cut was unexpected, the music they used on that part probably got copyright. It's not a glitch, as far as I know you can leave the part in but with no audio, guess they just decided to cut it.
Niko:* *makes it* *
Nick: hold my beer.
Coming back to this one to watch the first corridor video i ever watched. What a journey it's been
Just saying the axes were made out of metal and that makes it more difficult because the arrow that Nick shot did go through but touched the edges, if it was metal it would have ricocheted off, even Mythbusters did a video on it.
Niko is good at everything
4:50 If only he had $100, could have bought a new arm :P
Guys both you and the movie have it wrong! You are supposed to be shooting the arrow through the handle eye! That is the hole in the axe head where the handle is inserted! Your holes are at least three to four times to big! That is at least the most likely hole in an axe head to be used. Maybe reading the Odyssey would help!
‘This is the bow of Odysseus, my lord who is no more. Whosoever amongst you who can bend this bow and shoot an arrow from it through the holes in the backs of twelve axes which I shall have set up, him will I wed, and to his house I will go, forsaking the house of my wedlock, this house so filled with treasure and substance, this house which I shall remember in my dreams.’
As most axes had a hole for the handle, and some did not. The ones that have a hole would make the most sense! The handles that are depicted do not have holes or rings on the ends, so we can assume that they were not talking about a handle ring. There are no axe heads that I am aware of with a hole in the back other than the eye from the period so that leave the Handel Eye.
There is some debate about the translation, but for almost all axe of the time the only hole would be the eye. Fun video though! :)
Oh also Odysseus was the king of Ithaca not Greece which is a Greek island. There as always some debate as to which island exactly. It is however most likely located in the Ionian Sea, off the northeast coast of Kefalonia or more currently called Cephalonia and to the west of continental Greece.
Jesus Christ
they got it right in the movie, they just got it wrong
They did not get it right in the movie! There should have been no handles in the axe heads and they should have been shooting through the axe eye hole where the handle goes!
So Niko is not the real Odysseus?
The actuall text just sais through 12 axes. What holes it means is only guesses. Also yes although it is still debated were Homer's Ithaca was, the most plausible place is the modern island of Ithaca.
I haven’t watched Konchalovski’a Odyssey for more than 20 years. Oh the memories...
Thank you guys for featuring that series!
I always knew Niko was my favorite. Now I know why.
Anyone watching this...hit settings and set the speed all the down to .25 on TOP of the already slow motion! You'll see that the feathers on the arrow are what causes the foam axes to move NOT the actual arrow! INCREDIBLE!!!
Leave the sound on for 6:35 onwards and you'll question existence
King Niko, First of His Name, King of the Andals the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.
Wait, what about Protector of the Realm?
Have you seen him at Airsoft TTT? Even as an innocent, he's not out to protect others, unless it's by killing the traitors.
The Only one who can challenge Niko is D... I want Niko vs D showdown
We were just reading/watching The Odyssey is school, and now I see this from a channel I watch, and that's pretty cool.
Lol Nicko with His curly hair and beard looks like friggin Oddysseus xD
didn't there used be a little building scene for the axe? where did that go?
"Awww! Son of a bun, dude!" That's my new catchphrase
Nick, the PUBG champion, obviously got the arrow through the axes!
Niko is the king, I will gladly watch videos in his honor.
Niko! You absolute UNIT!
I came to this channel from mythbusters... and watching this gave me such a freddiew vibe... 😮
This video is awesome!
(Edit) ok I’ve just watched a few more vids and I started recognising some of the team lol. Subscribed!
Damn, Niko (and the other guy who missed the 2nd time, though) is literally Hawkeye :D But really, this was awesome. Thanks, UA-cam recommendations. Even though I subscribed to this and watch it all the time.
When you have 99 ranged
Niko’s turn: I don’t need to watch anymore of the video, you can fire an arrow through 12 axes. Anticlimactic.
Not even fucking kidding I learned about this at school today and it popped up in my recommended. Mind fucking blown
I literally just finished the Odyssey in class, and just saw the thumbnail and just was, HOW
okay?
Hey Clint....having your monitors on perfect eye level is not the healthy and natural posture you are looking for. You should aim for a slightly downward look so your neck is not straightened all the way. Think boutique your spine. It is curved kinda like an S. That is what you should aim for,
Indeed, the best practice is to have the top edge of the monitor at eye level.
It was actually whoever could string the bow, which had a draw strength of like, 5k pounds or something
5:15 Not gonna lie. I laughed HARD at that. That caught me off guard.
2:20 broooo these older videos getting cut down years later hurts my soul
