One thing that goes underappreciated about Yaz's runs is that he doesn't follow the weird trend of making the character look their absolute worst, he actually puts a little bit of time to make them look good even. Love that.
little kidboy it doesn't go "underappreciated", some ppl just ain't 😼y like you and care about how another man creates his character. You are just a 🌽🏀 beta that wants to 🥩🚲. Yea he sure separates himself from the rest of the UA-camrs- the video is called (can you beat ds2 bows only?) That's thee most overused copy/pasted video there is. He does EXACTLY what the other dollar store soulsborne youtubers do, he copy/paste. That's how I know you're a basement dwelling kidboy that just started at elden ring, you care about how men create their character lmao what a 😼y
Yeah but all his runs turn into faith builds and he lightning infuses almost everything he can which can be kind of boring makes all his runs feel the same.
The best books of all time aren’t they? The sole reason why I learned English in the first place was wanting to read them in the original. Now I’m over 40, feed 4 mouths with my English skills. Tolkien, above all, taught me the importance of always walking the right path, not matter how hard it can feel.
I love your videos. So Impressive! Your playthroughs have rekindled my love for DS2. I love the whole series, but DS2 was always hard for me to love. I watched your poison build video and tried it myself and now I am hooked on DS2. Thanks, Yaz!
Bow and arrow in souls games have been one of my fav playstyles and I think in ER they made it epic asf. Glad u decided to make this vid showcasing it :)
I always love the aesthetic of bows in souls games, but i never play them myself. I need those big damage numbers😅. Definitely enjoyed watching this run tho, very chill
So glad to have more DS2 content. My favorite Dark Souls by far. I don't know why but there's something so satisfying to it. The fun I had with it outweighs the annoying/ugly parts 100%. And one thing I like from your videos is that you sound like you're just having fun and being yourself, unlike most other channels that are too serious or are trying so hard to be funny just because.
Before starting the video I'm just gonna say yes. DS2 easily has the best bows in the series. And DS2 is the only game where I want to keep a bow/crossbow on me at all times for either luring or sniping enemies. They shoot fast enough to deal with bosses, poison arrows are just godly and make scarlet rot look like baby shit and they're all really light which makes then solid for a flynn build.
Yaz is genuinely one of the better Dark Souls youtubers, videos are just quick and concise without any extra stuff just for fluff. We appreciate it Yaz!
I am In love with this video! The last 3 uploads have been fantastic and I am gonna be re-watching this a LOT so I can route my own Bow run. I will say, The Sea Bow which can drop from the Varangian soldiers wielding a bow, That bow has better scaling and damage than the Long bow which is Very nice until you get the Hunter's Black Bow. Doesn't require much farming and is very strong. Its the bow I use normally in my Quality builds until I get the Hunters bow. Still Fantastic Run Yaz! Cant wait to see the next run.
Much love I appreciate it ♥ ♥ ♥ & yes the sea bow is definitely a top tier bow, I was going to farm for it but I was running short on time 😅 I hope you enjoy your bow run!
@@Yazzmania I'm surprised you didn't, in the video when you went to go too McDuff you killed Flexile Sentry I thought "Damn just like 20 minutes of farming he would have gotten the Sea bow" Yeah I'm gonna enjoy my Bow run just gotta figure out the route for all the dragon bones and enough titanite material for 3 basic bows 😅
Honestly I have to give my hat off more to Lord of the Rings than Harry Potter. Like there are more Harry Potter movies; but in a nutshell the lore is "magical high school, wizards/witches high schoolers, there's an evil wizard". A lot of movies, likeable characters, not enough lore to keep me hooked. Lord of the Rings on the other hand, there's more than just the movies. Like just the whole background story with Morgoth alone has more depth than all the Harry Potter movies combined imo. And that's not even mentioning the Nazgul, Sauron, the Witch King of Angmar, Smaug, Azog the defiler, the Uruk-hai orcs, the Balrogs.
@@Yazzmania Also just little things in the films that nobody would know unless they heard. In the first movie the Fellowship of the Ring; the one fight towards the end with the Uruk-hai captain and Aragorn, as they were filming that scene there was an actual knife thrown at Aragorn that he blocks. Both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are great, I like the inspiration that sparked both. Harry Potter getting its ideas from WW2 and Lord of the Rings having its mythology & Christian roots along with Tolkien's WW1 experience
I would love to see you do a dragonslayer crescent axe run, one if not my favourite weapon in the whole game, btw love your videos, they make me want to play ds2 every time one comes out
Bit of a newcomer here but I’ve quickly been tearing through all these build videos. Honestly you’ve been making wanna jump back into this game a lot so thanks for that! Have you thought about doing similar vids as these for the other souls games?
I hope you get back into it! There's so many different fun builds you could try haha yes I have, especially on stream whenever i get the time to do so :)
Hey Yaz, don't know if you remember me but I left a comment on the bone fist vid a few days ago, things are slowly improving, I'm reaching out to some new job opportunities and hobbies and have slowly been reconnecting with loved ones Today's run was another fun one to watch, never thought bows in ds2 could be entertaining, but here this video is I know talking through UA-cam is as parasocial as it gets, but you responding still means a lot, keep up the good work man, love ❤️
Of course I remember bro, and man I'm glad to hear that things are slowly improving for you! I hope good things continue to come your way and I'm sure they will! & thank you man, means a lot for you to come back to my vids ♥ whether it's through UA-cam or not I still have love for you and everyone else as I wish all my viewers nothing but happiness in life! Take care of yourself brother ♥
Ay yaz, you a real one fr, I'm still stressed about a lot of things, but talking to someone I watch everyday and th responding has really helped, I feel more motivated now more than ever to get my life back in order, so yeah, thanks bro, an absolute ton Love ❤️
Dragon Rider bow was always in my Paladins runs.. dont ask why xd Edit1: Bow only run looks so stressfulls. But, you did it amazing. Thanks fot that! Edit2: Did you ever try the Great Bows? I think that you can take a little surprise. Edit3: I saw a man that put Tseldora set before pup up the souls. Maybe can give you some extras.
I see a lot of people asking for runs. What I will suggest is just do whatever you have fun with big bro, if you cant think of anything a scythe video would be dope!
Yaz!! My man!!! Finally the bow run is here. I just did one myself last month, it was tons of fun! Learned some tricks from your run, but we did pretty much similar things Love the channel!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, YOU BAAACK! i missed you so much homie. I absolutely love this video ( like every other) like i love you!
Bro you really made me proud this last 4 - 5 videos is all BUILDS i requested you to do like Poison build, Bow and some others i mean thank you very much ❤
did you know you can kill executioners chariot in a special way with poison arrows as he runs? not dropping the gate and getting health down is the way, basically at the last part of his health bar the horse doesn't have the strength to make the jump over the pit anymore.
@@Yazzmania np! I love the game, your videos bring me lots of joy, i played so many hours into both pve and pvp! Oh, also, You dont even need to use poison arrows btw, i remember you can hit the horse or rider with any damage too, tho melee may result in trades of damage haha.. still just lowering its hp to that threshold works!
When he was shooting the jewel bugs and got the last one he needed last it reminded me of Naruto. When neji fought that spider dude saving Naruto from each clone getting shot
If I remember right from my bow build many years ago back before they nerfed bows in DS2, Dragonrider's bow with magic infusion and firing magic arrows did crazy damage.
@@Yazzmania Not sure when you started playing DS2, but a lot of things way back when were leagues better than they are today. Take Dark Orb for example. It's a strong Hex these days. Pre-nerf it was killing bosses in like 2-3 casts based on build. GSR just outright 1 shot NG+ bosses, etc., etc.. Balance was insane back then.
I started in 2016 but I never used to watch videos online or scour the internet for information on broken stuff so I was never really aware of all of this haha, super interesting tho thanks for sharing ♥
@@Yazzmania Ah. I didn't go looking for broken builds but I was a fan of FightingCowboy at the time and after his let's play series concluded he did a series of build videos and that's how I found out about a lot of the overtuned stuff.
I know I'm late to the party, but dude your ds 2 vids are incredible! a true inspiration. ds 2 being my favorite in the series, you have hands down the best ds 2 vids on UA-cam. shutting down the haters with your mad skills! stay fresh homie ✌🏽
if u encounter gavlan in no mans, he sells 20 poison arrows, meeting him again under the mine in dark harvest then meeting him again for the final time he stops in doors of parros, him seeling unlimited poison arrows, I use poison/fire(from ornifex) arrows now and then and called it "cheese souls" cause of the OPness of poison arrows ticking damage
Favourite anime of all time ?
Mines gotta be hunter x hunter :)
Definitely aot
Jojo golden wind is a banger
Gotta go with Inuyasha for that nostalgia
Bleach this season is on fire
One thing that goes underappreciated about Yaz's runs is that he doesn't follow the weird trend of making the character look their absolute worst, he actually puts a little bit of time to make them look good even. Love that.
Absolutly! Really appreciate that👍
yeah i fuckin hate when ppl make their character look like a fucking green troll
little kidboy it doesn't go "underappreciated", some ppl just ain't 😼y like you and care about how another man creates his character.

@@Volkoronnot rly any point to not infusing weapons tho
Huge fan of lord of the rings, love the books and movies immensely, read the books when I was young and go back every 2 years to read it
The best books of all time aren’t they?
The sole reason why I learned English in the first place was wanting to read them in the original.
Now I’m over 40, feed 4 mouths with my English skills.

Babe wake up yappmania just dropped another masterpiece
Bappmania
my man LMAO 🤣 Love these comments fr ♥

much love I appreciate it ♥ I hope you get a chance to play DS2 again and enjoy it :)
this guy makes me wanna play ds2 every damn video
At this point you've probably killed more The Rotten than taken steps in the entire DS franchise... that is a moment for sure.
LOL that is most likely a statistical fact 😅
Bow and arrow in souls games have been one of my fav playstyles and I think in ER they made it epic asf. Glad u decided to make this vid showcasing it :)
Elden ring did make it epic as fuck
unfortunately the damage do be kinda...sad, bows are still cool as fuck though
@@walkingglasses6264With the rights buffs and weapons you can make a viable NG and NG+ bow build.
Great Video like Always, Keep up the good work
I always love the aesthetic of bows in souls games, but i never play them myself. I need those big damage numbers😅. Definitely enjoyed watching this run tho, very chill
Actually DS2 is pretty much the only Souls game where the Bow is actually very good. Just look at DS3. Bows are the definition of useless there.
@@mereen750 sure, blws are far from useless, just generally weaker than other build options
So glad to have more DS2 content. My favorite Dark Souls by far. I don't know why but there's something so satisfying to it. The fun I had with it outweighs the annoying/ugly parts 100%.

Hello king, just wanted to drop by to let you know your vids are incredible and much appreciated.
much love homie I appreciate you ♥
Quality content and really good humour never fails to make me laugh
Yo bet I love this series. Great to wake up to this video
The intro 😻

I respect that! you're right though, Lord of the Rings had some depth to it that comes off as a masterpiece to the audience!

Watching your every video! Maybe next will be the great bows? Who know
I would love to see you do a dragonslayer crescent axe run, one if not my favourite weapon in the whole game, btw love your videos, they make me want to play ds2 every time one comes out
These runs are so relaxing I swear. Good job as always Yaz.
lotr for sure. it's not as kid-friendly but it's a very beautiful story, both in books and on the screen
I agree! The story is untouched!
Bit of a newcomer here but I’ve quickly been tearing through all these build videos. Honestly you’ve been making wanna jump back into this game a lot so thanks for that!
Have you thought about doing similar vids as these for the other souls games?
I hope you get back into it! There's so many different fun builds you could try haha
yes I have, especially on stream whenever i get the time to do so :)
Hey Yaz, don't know if you remember me but I left a comment on the bone fist vid a few days ago, things are slowly improving, I'm reaching out to some new job opportunities and hobbies and have slowly been reconnecting with loved ones
Today's run was another fun one to watch, never thought bows in ds2 could be entertaining, but here this video is
I know talking through UA-cam is as parasocial as it gets, but you responding still means a lot, keep up the good work man, love ❤️
Of course I remember bro, and man I'm glad to hear that things are slowly improving for you! I hope good things continue to come your way and I'm sure they will!

Love ❤️
Duel warped swords are rly fun might wanna try them out
This amount of looking at characters respectfully in this vid was great
Ive been waiting on and suggesting a bow build for awhile now specifically the duel avlynes lol
you're in for a surprise :)
Bows, Greatbows, Crossbows. . . loved them in DkS2.
I love that alonne clip in the intro, fuckin hilarious how he just "OW *THUD*"
Tame Impala always goes hard
I absolutely love your channel man! And all the DS2! Keep it up :D
I’m so happy to see my Manz grow in yt .
that ps2 lord of the rings game was top tier
no doubt about it!
Dragon Rider bow was always in my Paladins runs.. dont ask why xd
Edit1: Bow only run looks so stressfulls. But, you did it amazing. Thanks fot that!
Edit2: Did you ever try the Great Bows? I think that you can take a little surprise.
Edit3: I saw a man that put Tseldora set before pup up the souls. Maybe can give you some extras.
I love that Bow Only is actually decently viable, might do it too now, looks fun,
13:35 "lord have mercy, we must stay focused brothers, we *must* stay focused"
I see a lot of people asking for runs. What I will suggest is just do whatever you have fun with big bro, if you cant think of anything a scythe video would be dope!
Yaz!!
My man!!!
Finally the bow run is here.
I just did one myself last month, it was tons of fun! Learned some tricks from your run, but we did pretty much similar things
Love the channel!
Aye glad to hear you did it as well! Thanks brother I appreciate it ♥
my favorite (great)bow is the alonne greatbow, looks cool and easy to farm early on the game and the greatbow in the fridge dlc
I want to see a dragon build or the old whip build. Man you are awesome and keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos and DS2 is great. 😊
1:31 i legit heard "why is this guy black"💀💀😂, love the content man
Axes only would be cool a lot of variety (Dragon Slayer Axe)
Best bow gameplay in all Soul Series. I don't know why Miyazaki gets it all wrong in the other games.
Did half a bow run a few years back in DS2, used a spear as my backup weapon. A lot of fun but too much farming for my taste. Great video as always!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, YOU BAAACK!
i missed you so much homie. I absolutely love this video ( like every other) like i love you!
My man much love bro I appreciate it ♥ ♥ ♥
Glad to see you back homie !!
My god. Your flat strait-faced delivery of "Ganondorf? No, that's Harry Potter" actually made me laugh 😆
He is a wizard, Harry, but then who would Link be fighting when Ganon is at Hogwarts?
Bro you really made me proud this last 4 - 5 videos is all BUILDS i requested you to do like Poison build, Bow and some others i mean thank you very much ❤
Do an Spear like something Spartan Build 😊
Best souls youtuber and it's not even close
i appreciate it homie ♥
Rotten was tired of getting mugged for a million souls.
We need an Espada Ropera run, great vid as always
The problem is you only get that rapier at the end.
Yo really entertaining content keep it up man
So glad that you finally did something resembling a challenge run, not that it was hard for you ❤
lmao I won't lie the DLC's were a bit tough 😅
but I'm glad I did this too, thanks for suggestion it on the previous videos ♥
Broo that Sir Alonne mid-air kill looked like something straight out of GMod 😂😂. Another amazing vid Yaz btw
my guy after i found you a week ago ive been non stop watching amazing and funny content keep up the hard work
much love I appreciate it ! glad you enjoy the vids ♥
After I platinum Bloodborne, DS2 is next on my trophy list and thesse videos get me excited to play it
Aye good luck and have fun with DS2 ! :)
I just ran out of the things to watch and Yazz just drops a new banger
Your the only one that I can count on for what I’m looking for thanks
Yessir the goat is back 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
Always appreciate DS2 challenges.
babe wake up yazmania bow run just dropped
THX BRO FOR THE VID
I HOPE YOU DO THE MOONLIGHT GREATSWORD CUZ M ASKING FOR IT FOR A WHILE PLSSS
he already did it before search in the channel
He did one 8 months ago
You gotta be one of the best ds2 players
Yaz you should do a video using some sorts of greataxe, maybe try and make some underrated greataxe op!!!
4:04
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G SONG
Also, you need Durgo's Hat.
bro these videos are so good please never stop posting king💪💪💪
Dark Souls 2 was goated for the Desert Sorceress design fr!
Always hitting it with the intro songs 💪

I've just returned from a bar trip, it's my birthday and I think that this ds2 run might be the best ending for this night :D
YEAH BUDDYYYY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ♥ 🥳
Hope you had a great night!
@@Yazzmania yeaah thx, had a lot of fun!

If I remember right from my bow build many years ago back before they nerfed bows in DS2, Dragonrider's bow with magic infusion and firing magic arrows did crazy damage.

Your editing is so funny lol
How about dagger build?
nice
Missed opportunity to call this boy Bowzo lol
Best bow run I've done is in Elden Ring, jumping Greatbow shots are honestly satisfying af
That's the perfect name fr lmaooo, damn!
Sir Alonne's death was amazing lol
Nah the goat is back!
real one ♥
Daaaamn the madman did it.
Finally I wait for ot so long now I'm waiting for whip episode ❤❤❤
Hey little fact for you, on the rottens shoulder theres a guy poking out of it, you can actually kill him without killing Rotten.
The intro was great
if u encounter gavlan in no mans, he sells 20 poison arrows, meeting him again under the mine in dark harvest then meeting him again for the final time he stops in doors of parros, him seeling unlimited poison arrows, I use poison/fire(from ornifex) arrows now and then and called it "cheese souls" cause of the OPness of poison arrows ticking damage
beautiful this video, keep it up
Man the og dragon tooth would be a vibeeeeeee
Pretty sure Engraved Gauntlets work on thrown items too. If not then all weapons and damage type spells.
Bandit knife with poison infusion build I swear to god the most disgusting and disrespectful build ever
Never seen a bow run good job ❤
ARE U MAGICAL CAUSE HOW DO YOU MAKE THE WORST WEPONS INTO GOD SLAYING MACHINES
the two towers was amazing
yesss!
your intro music is Fire !
you haven't tried the sea bow, yet in close combat this bow really makes a difference, it can quickly shoot 3 arrows and even after a roll
Finally the bow is here !
Using bows is fun challenge they deserve a damage buff
