Nah, he isn't taking the arrows in his hand and wacking the bosses with those - what he is using is the bows. The arrows just happened to be there.

I did bow only in DS3, and it was actually pretty fun to my surprise. Though this was before the DLC came out so that might've changed how fun it would have been

It's nice to see a run where the bosses' health doesn't melt away in 5 seconds.

Great vid Dist! I loved the edit. The streams as always are fun as well. Keep up the good work!

My friend and I did a challenge run earlier this year, one weapon type through Ds1-3. I ended up choosing bow for all 3 and it was super fun. Loved that the black bow and Dragonrider bow are basically available in all 3.

10 ай бұрын

​@@bimmer8602 Some stats if you're interested. TL;DR The best infusion is probably one of the elemental ones. Mundane avelyn out-damages raw avelyn once you have 19 in each stat (total lvl 118). Raw avelyn+10 has an AR of 187. Mundane +10 with 19 in each has 189 AR. Alternatively, all the elemental infusions are great since you'll get C scaling in your chosen stat. Magic Avelyn+10 with 40 INT has an AR of 198 (85phy/113mag). That damage gets even better when using magic bolts.

I love DS2 man... It had a LOT of issues, but it really tried to do a lot of really interesting and creative things, especially with the environmental interaction with bosses. It's a shame it's so brutal for all the wrong reasons (namely tedium), but I still think it's criminally underrated and misunderstood. Putting a "2" next to its namesake did it more harm than good. They should have called it "Dragon's/Giant's Souls" or something different.

​@lobstrosity7163 the SoTF in question

these marathon videos are my favorite videos on the internet

DLC enemies actually have somewhat normal resistances. Instead the devs decided for whatever reason that all ranged damage including bows will do ~half damage across the board to DLC enemies. So for example a lightning spear will do half damage, but a lightning infused melee weapon will do normal damage.

Awesome format, these always wan't me to go back and play the games again ! One note though, I know it would make the videos longer but I'd love to have a few more cuts of your build, or the equipment you get (rings/talismans etc) Thanks !!

If there’s one thing you’ll notice real quick when using mainlining bows it’s hit boxes both on the enemies and the level geometry. The sloppiest you’ll find is in Elden Ring. The bows mechanics all change slightly over the course of the games with DS3 probably being the best.

I remember vanilla Demon's Souls being kinda a joke with the bow for most enemies excluding Phalanx, Flamelurker, Old Monk, and False King (Old King Allant's human fight). With the Thief's Ring, some bosses couldn't even find you for most of the fight if you stayed back and manual aimed, especially the Spider (which dropped the slab you need to max out your bow, funny enough). It's impressive to you see you get through these games with just bows, because as much as I love them for the memories I have of them carrying me through the first game, they really just became a situational tool in the rest the soulsbourne games for me since. Good video, great job.

Amazing job from everyone involved.

I don’t skip the part when he talk about the sponsor cause his voice is so fcking good MAN WE NEED YOUR PODCAST

Now _THIS_ is a challenge I like to see. Are we going to see a 'Dark Souls - One Spell per Boss' Challenge at some point? I know Dark Souls 2 is doable, I'm testing it right now, and I know there's enough spells in Dark Souls 1 (think you have to start as Pyromancer, though...?), but I'm curious whether or not 3 is doable, and I'm almost certain Demon's Souls *isn't* due to a lack of damaging spells (only 11, even if OG Boss Soul Duping is used).

2:48:28 Patrick screaming. You’re welcome

Man Bed of Chaos would be so simple if DkS just had an Elden Ring jump lol

I love your challenge runs

This is clearly a Bow and Arrow only run, I can't wait to see a BOW only run ;)

What are balistas if not large, lever-assisted crossbows?

I remember doing a Bow-only DkS2 run back in the day; was surprisingly effective, and I honestly still hold some of the bows and crossbows as the best in Fromsoft's soulslikes.

What the hell?! I didn’t know there was that big skip when you step into leyndell capitol. Cool!

Nice video, love to see it

ds1 composite bow slaps so hard lol, that was one of my favorite runs that i ever did. actually killed kalameet without talking to gough too, that was really fun. also really hilarious to me that when you shoot priscilla, the arrows stick in her and floats around with her so you can see exactly where she is.

I love the Okd king Allant buggy AI that he charges at you and instead of finishing his attack no no he brainfarts turns to you and insta kills you. Game design

cant wait for crossbow only runs

THE KING IS BACK

classic dist, nemz only wishes you the best for the vase skip

cant wait for armored core plasma blade only

That starting armor looks so damn badass

I like how he actual did armour mix and matches in Elden Ribg but Ds1 and 2 he just went naked

yes please. i really like watching you play and i love hearing you talk about stuff. thanks

I’d be giving Maria back shots too if I were you

It always amazes me how good he is at these games😂 I guess if I played them as much as he did I'd be pretty good too but still it's impressive lmao

33:15 he said ohh weeeeee youre already tucked lemme get u a warm pillow poke :D

I remember my own crossbow only DS2 run. Dark infusing the sanctum crossbows was really really dumb (in an OP way)

Ballista is just a big crossbow, and crossbows are just bows so valid Pursuer strategy

Beating Every Souls Game Bow ONLY

Take a shot every time Dist says "not bad damage"

Oh s**t here we go again 😂

Hot take, demons souls bows are how they should be in every game

Your skill, extraordinary... The mark... of a true Gamer...

there is actually a weird bow melee attack in demons souls so u can actually do Vanguard Demon with Bow Only. :)

My bow of choice in DS2 was always the lightning short bow with poison arrows

I'm literally in the market for an m.2 dock at the moment so that is a must have for my setup 😄

Goat is back

Ay more challenge runs

The challenge of all time!

Wow, didn't ever think I would see the "You Died" screen on this channel!

complains about ds2 being long but it was only 30 minutes longer than elden ring

The lack of Dragonrider Bow during the DS2 section is the real first sin.

im on a distortion bing session. love your playthroughs, youre a cool lad

Someone making a tier list said this best. "Distortion is the best speedrunner because he's so diverse with gaming that everyone knows of him."

The headshot spamming of the last priest guy in the Congregation really reminded me of some of those obscure and janky PS1 action shooter games I used to have, lol!

There are two versions of bow only. The normal way, and the Yamfah way

Drinking game: take a drink every time he says "good damage"

Can you do a mod of starting some soulsborn game at max stats with a fully upgraded weapon mod, but also a challenge where you cannot heal except with bonfires

I was there for the whole thing!

Up next: SL1, no damage, 100% equip load, fists only, constant poison, only hold RT/R2, no skips, all enemies, EldenSoulsBorne, under 12 hours, while eating super spicy ramen, feet only while hands are rubbing stomach and patting head. And you can only use English nouns and Japanese verbs/adverbs with the grammatical structure of French for commentary. Goodamn, you make these games look easy. Amazing work my dude.

man oblivion override really lookin like Dead Cells huh

I did bloodborne bow only on max ng, and it was a really entertaining run

Hey Ho by the way the blue Dancer Charm works only ive u Had No Armor on u can See this in your stats by equip unequip the Charm. Cheers

I did bow only in ds1 once. I ended up turning my comp bow into a straight sword for Artie

When Black Bow of Pharis does more damage than any weapon in the game, I'm feeling fooled.

enthralled by that guy in chat who was visible for like three frames saying elden ring looks like ass

Should've also done Shuriken only Sekiro lmao or something stupid like that.

Someone in the chat said “even Steph curry couldn’t hit that long rang shot on the deer”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I did a bow only run in Elden Ring. Radahn's Greatbow is awesome. It destroys Malenia!

Nice run Dist! 43:30 Bed of Chaos continues to be worst boss of all time

Oblivion override looks like a dead cells texture pack with air dashes.

Man I wish I would’ve known that Godrick’s dragon arm had no collision when I fought him the first time. ER was my first ever souls like game and didn’t know it had no collision mechanics on things that should clearly have collision like a fuckin’ dragon head arm.
