In this part of the video, the host introduces an exciting new bow one-shot build due to popular demand. They go through the recommended stats, emphasizing minimal Vigor at 40, and focus on maximizing Strength to an 80 soft cap, which starts at 70 naturally. Dexterity is initially pushed to 60, with the goal to get it near 80. PVE Poise is set to the breakpoint of 51 to prevent interruption from light enemy attacks. They thank the video sponsor, War Thunder, and mention the wide range of vehicles and customization available in the game. The video then shifts back to discussing the specific bows used in the build.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on optimizing a bow-centric build for one-shot kills in Elden Ring. The recommended primary bow is the Golem Greatbow, obtainable from Golem enemies near the Grand Lift of Dectus, chosen for its strength and stagger potential. For additional damage, the Lion Greatbow can be acquired after defeating Radahn and is used in the offhand for a 20% damage bonus to Radahn’s Spear Great Arrows. Against large enemies, Golem’s Great Arrows are preferred for their wind AoE damage, while Radahn Spear Great Arrows are ideal for headshots on smaller bosses. For general exploration, cheaper Great Arrows from the Hermit Merchant’s Shack are suggested.

Additionally, for players with high strength stats, the Giant Crusher is recommended for its high attack rating (AR). If a lighter weapon is desired, the Pulley Bow or quality scaling greatswords like the Watchdog’s Greatsword or Claymore are recommended. The quality Zwiehander is noted for its superior thrusting animation and counter-attack damage. The segment also emphasizes the versatility of weapon choices based on individual playstyle and provides guidance on pairing weapons with suitable Ash of War skills for maximum effectiveness.

In this segment of the video, the speaker details how to enhance the Golem Great Bow using specific Ashes of War and armor sets. They explain the “Through and Through” skill, which can be obtained by killing an invisible Scarab near the entrance to Volcano Manor. This skill is emphasized for its ability to hit multiple times due to the wind AOE effect of the Golem grade arrows. Additionally, they recommend the “Reign of Arrows” Ash of War, which requires retrieving a painting from the town of Sellia and using a spirit spring to avoid fall damage.

For armor, the speaker suggests the Knight’s Cavalry set for its high poise-to-weight ratio and aesthetic appeal. The set can be acquired by defeating two Knight’s Cavalry enemies in the southern part of the Consecrated Snowfield. If preferred, the Black Knife Hood is also recommended for its lighter weight and sufficient poise, available at the backside of Ordina.

Regarding talismans, the Shard of Alexander is highlighted for significantly boosting damage from skills like “Through and Through” and “Reign of Arrows.” The Shard of Alexander is obtained by completing Alexander’s questline and defeating him in a 1v1 challenge at Crumbling Farum Azula.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various talismans and buffs that can significantly increase damage for ranged characters in the game. Key items mentioned include the Aerosting Talisman, which boosts arrow and bolt damage by 10%, and the Spear Talisman, which enhances counter-attack damage by 15%. The speaker also highlights the Ritual Sword Talisman that increases damage by 10% when at full health, and the Arrows Reach Talisman that extends projectile range by 65%.

Additionally, the speaker introduces a quick buff routine to maximize damage within five seconds using three main buffs: the Rallying Standard skill, which increases damage by 20%, the Bloodwell Aromatic that boosts physical damage by 30%, and Flask of Wondrous Physick with the Strength-knot and Dexterity-knot Crystal Tears. These buffs can elevate damage to high levels efficiently.

Another tactic explained involves using the Rain of Arrows with the Golem Greatbow for significant area damage. The build is versatile, allowing various consumables like sleep pots to be used situationally for added effectiveness.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses ways to simplify a challenging boss fight significantly and how to indirectly boost damage output by 20%. The narrator mentions crafting items using the Fevers Cookbook 1, obtainable early in Limgrave. They also highlight their Patreon, which offers detailed guides, including a written checklist version of the build and techniques like Tumble buffing Royal Knight resolve onto the Golem great bow.

An example of a one-shot buff routine featuring Godfrey is provided: starting with a flask, building frenzy to trigger Madness, using the blood boil aromatic, restoring FP, switching to the Mushroom Crown, using the rallying standard, equipping the Golem great bow, poisoning to activate buffs, switching to the white mask, using seppuku, and then making final equipment switches and buffs. The procedure culminates in a perfectly timed counter-attack with the bow.

The narrator thanks patrons, promotes an upcoming video, and encourages viewers to check out War Thunder using a provided link, especially those interested in military history.
