@@ioverslept. It's generally easier to fight with bows like you would a melee weapon. Grabbing a short bow and getting in their face let's you force them to attack and while they attack, they're stuck in an animation and can't dodge. Staying a mile away is probably the least optimal bow usage, ironically
on your first playthrough always go with the classic build (str/fth , quality , dex) and once u learn the game u can beat it pretty much with any build
Always loved how flashy this AoW was with glowing arrows. I occasionally have the mimic tear use it with rainbow stone arrows. Turns gargoyles and erdtree avatars into Christmas trees. Shame it isn't very strong. Arrows could use some tracking so that more arrows actually land on the target.
I use it to kill AFK griefers at the first step. If you're above and you have a clear lock on, you can start the Ash, lock on, and when it releases, it's like a full on minigun in their face
I am using Latenna. She shoots super fast and deals about 300+ dmg each volley at +10 for me. She can't move but she is basically a turret. I tried those Nockron Archers they weren't very useful.
You get right situation and rain if arrows can be really good in pvp as well absolutely melted bloodhound curved sword mid WA with golem great arrows it was so satisfying watching that health bar deplete.
I had no idea there were platforms when I first fought this guy. Killed him before raising any of them. He would’ve been so much easier if I explored first haha
I cheesed this boss so hard, just standing still. Run southwest to some ruins with the curse monsters. Run up the ramped building with the body loot. Stand there and cast loretta's bow. The pillars block him from moving closer.
To my fellow cultured cross/great/bow users, there’s nothing more satisfying than dealing the killing blow by shooting down the Elden Beast in the middle of it’s ring attack.
massive balls to do the rot dragonkin soldier with arrows ... this dude busted me up with the heaviest armor and flinged me into rot for the extra insult just when i was low hp so the rot would kill me.... although this guy lives in literal filth he would not get his hands dirty by killing a lowly tarnished like me.
I have Rain of Arrows on my Horn Bow+25 and it started only shooting straight up and arrows fall around me. Tried different bows with the same results. Tried restarting game and PC with no joy. Any suggestions to get it back the way it's supposed to be would be appreciated.
@@singed54 Not so. I know about being locked on and in range. I've been using Rain of Arrows for a long time. It changes from time to time. I can be reasonably close to a locked on target and the arrows shoot straight up in the air. Other times they will shoot a distance away as they should. I wouldn't mention it if it was working as it should.
Always sad that everything about archery is kind of an afterthought in Elden Ring, a "bonus" you slap on another build for a bit of distance attacks and versatility, but having tried all the bows and AoW and different builds, it's clearly way behind anything else as a main build. Really a shame. In an RPG with that much possibility, why the hell didn't they made _really_ viable an archer build. One can hope that one day a patch will up these things. Playing spells only is already broken and kind of the "easy mode'" in almost all Souls, so it's not like making a viable and strong distance build would suddenly be a "cheesing' issue.
Mine has been working fine until today. Now it shoots arrows straight up in the air. I tried restarting the game with no joy. Reckon I'll try restarting the PC.
thanks for being the only person actually posting footage instead of tutorial of how to get it
I care about how to get it lol.
seriously man what do i have to pay for someone to just compile a weapon art showcase of all the skills
@@lolicongang.4974 but only because you know now how it looks :P
@@rail7646 I knew how it looked.
Now how do I get it.
@@lolicongang.4974 Google
Woah that is actually kind of neat. I always play archer in any RPG I play but Elden shattered that on my first run. Now I can try this playstyle!
I saw a dude prove it works jut fine! Don't remember the name but it does work
@@houseviking4352 I mean... anything works tbh, just depends how patient you are. But there definitely are viable bow builds

They are great markers for those darkblade assassins that go invisible.

@@lostsoulstarfighter i didn't think of that. huh
@@Birbucifer tbf if you have any wide sweeping attacks those assassin's don't need to be seen. Just keep chopping and they can't even touch you.

Try summoning her close to a wolf ;)
@@Colphin Her inner ho instincts come out and she begins riding. It's pretty awesome.
@@TheStraightestWhitest lmao
@@TheStraightestWhitest ayo 😂😂😂
Latenna is definitely good, but Marionette Archers work great in my experience
I love that you have a little squad of archer buddies

@@Swellard6415. Yes Golems drop them
Wow that’s actually pretty cool , I feel inspired to do an archer build now

How did you survive the rot?
@@DefScream189 A LOT of boluses lol. Also wore the best rot resistant armor I had at the time.
Uhhh im just now learning there was a dragonkin boss in the lake of rot after 300 in game hours
imagine the damage if you could enchant bows as well.
Ahh, like ds2 with staffs ☺
Bows might actually viable then
@@wildbard4112 my man didn’t watch the video 💀
@@aben1466 Elden Ring/ Souls bow game is dogshit tho compare to Dragons Dogma
Best part is it only uses 1 arrow yet deals 10x the damage on large targets
you made the boss into a neat little christmas decoration
Radahn´s bow and arrows melt the Elden beast
Also makes the fight more fun since you don't have to chase it
I cheesed this boss so hard, just standing still.
Run southwest to some ruins with the curse monsters.
Run up the ramped building with the body loot.
Stand there and cast loretta's bow.
The pillars block him from moving closer.
For some reason, if you release the lock-on right after you fire you can make them all rain instantly, and in a very concentrated fire. It's so good.
Rain of arrows is pretty good, aye. My go to is still Radahn's Rain though, love melting any big annoying enemy with that thing.
The first half of this fight was much better than the second :P
Yeah, it is. Never thought using that summon either.
I’ve seen so many videos of archer builds that I really should try an archer run
The Black Set is 😘🤌
To my fellow cultured cross/great/bow users, there’s nothing more satisfying than dealing the killing blow by shooting down the Elden Beast in the middle of it’s ring attack.
I'd sure hope it is with where it's found. This looks like a fun way to play also ngl.
It’s not, it’s stupid secret :(
I just got rain of arrows and equipped it in my horn bow but it’s not working. What am I doing wrong? I’m crouched and locked on.
suddenly, its monster hunter
It's my weapon of choice against the fire giant 🙌
Arrows are fun in PVP, too!

I never fought that enemy because I get so stressed about Scarlett Rot that I just didn't bother.
Greatbow with Rain of Arrows and Golem Great Arrows >>>
That was kinda neat
Hm. Makes me want to experiment more with archery.
I wanna see someone create a Radahn great bow build
Should be using cursed blood jars to buff your summons
seems you have to be pretty close to the enemy, or can you use this at max range?
He does that at the beginning of the video
seems pretty ammo efficient.
This reminds me of the strider class from Dragons Dogma
Who is this boss? I missed him 😢
If this showcased anything its how underpowered bows are

That happens when you arent locked on, or you are out of range

It’s because you are out of range or not locked on. Therefore it is so.
How come whenever I try to use this skill all of the arrows land where I currently M at
Did u autolock your target?
Not a 1 hit KO = 0/10 called the cops.
JK. Well played.
cool build man
i never seen a bow user
Why not use the marionets that fast fire ? More like rain of arrows to me :)
Cool archer build.
Female albinauric lore:
what when i do it it just lands on me
It would be better if it had more range
It reminds of Ragnarok Online

i need to know the drip. thks
Mainly dex build? looks like you may have some faith in the mix too?
Whats that armor set?
How I beat the Elden Beast
Whixh bow is this?
Kinda boring you mean
thats so cool.
I think that with tis dodge timing you could probably win with a spoon.
Ay where the build at
your attacks did more dps my man :) and safer too
Outfit?
Do the archers use the same arrows as you?
They use only ghostflame arrows only.
Monster hunter vibes lol
Who is this boss
Mine has been working fine until today. Now it shoots arrows straight up in the air. I tried restarting the game with no joy. Reckon I'll try restarting the PC.
I don't remember this boss.... is there a DLC?
No, it's in the Lake of Bullsh- I mean Lake of Rot.
there's another one in ainsel river as well
Literally me playing terraria 💀
fellas is it gay to level mind?
what is your bow ?
Albinauric Bow
rain of mid
Bro thinks he’s Atreus
I hate the fact elden ring has many copy paste bosses
summons completely ruin this game. there should never be a friendly character taking aggro in a boss fight. they simply are not designed for it.
noob
It's bad
I'm so sick of watching elden ring videos I swear everytime it's another new weapon I haven't seen used or heard of wth 😐
