The fact that they both pulled out bows in the end was just icing on the cake. As always, great music choices, you rule AZAEL

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you man! You how I love choosing my songs for videos, glad you liked it

[@slh8505]

Probably one of the best moments you can have from an invader is encountering one with a gimmick, then being able to pull the same gimmick

[@AZAELinvaded]

You know you’re gonna have a good time when you encounter players as weird as you lol

[@chrisofthehoovers4055]

The respect at the end feels good to see.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Real recognize real

[@Zythryl]

Okay that archer battle was rad as hell, good work AZAEL

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thankssss :)) I was so excited when they pulled out the bows too

[@RofoTheGyrm]

Oh man that archer battle at the end was a thing of beauty, the kind of interactions we all dream of encountering

[@AZAELinvaded]

I was so happy to see an interaction like that in this stage of the game. I think Lv60 is more inclined to give us some precious little moments like that, honestly.

[@thegondola9877]

Escalating Battles from DDDA is such a fucking banger track, major respect

[@AZAELinvaded]

I am replaying it right now on Steam Deck, what a fucking gem. Can’t wait for DD2.

[@S0ulcarver]

You sir (and how you enrich the Souls Community) are criminally underrated ❤️

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you so much! There are plenty of hidden gems among small Souls KZbinr, let’s hope Shadow of the Erdtree will shed a light on them!

[@tototriceps]

That intro was god damn amazing!

[@rikkabilly]

In my head I can see all your characters on a cliff looking down on the bad guys ( yellws and blues of course) talking about how knowledge is power and half the battle is knowing what's up yada yada , Ultimate 90s Saturday morning cartoon. ( It's woulcd be so, so damn good!)

[@noordinaryjoe9972]

Really appreciate you kicking the video off with the Torna battle theme.

[@gianpietrofossati1937]

U don't know how much I loved seeing this video, I like everything archer/gunslinger related.

[@AZAELinvaded]

It’s really the best iteration of bows and crossbows of any souls game

[@lundal_09]

Lmao that Kevin stare at 6:25... Amazing video

[@AZAELinvaded]

He was hopeless, poor guy

[@geckgoomay3146]

Woah the bow gameplay is on another level, Az. I like the legendary archer's battle, it is so wholesome. especially with the love mail. Awesome!

[@AZAELinvaded]

Always nice to see a good love mail Thank you! :)

[@rikkabilly]

Thanks!

[@AZAELinvaded]

Man…I am speechless, as always. Thank you.

[@alligatorbeans]

Wasn't sure how your editing/pacing style would translate to a bow only, but you killed it. Excellent vid as always

[@AZAELinvaded]

Me too honestly! But I’m glad I give it a try and found out a way to do it my way.

[@spacedoohicky]

Yo! Dragon's Dogma music! Funny. The magic archer is absolutely broken in that game.

[@AZAELinvaded]

I never played with it, but I am going to try it out in the next game probably!

[@YEY0806]

Strider is probably the most broken by having the skull splitter skill. That thing SHREDDS

[@spacedoohicky]

@@YEY0806 It is very good. Though if I remember correctly you had to get in close. Pew pewing from a safe distance with perfect accuracy was magic archer's broken ability. Especially if a player min-maxed by playing sorcerer up to level 100 to 150 before switching to archer.

[@NicktheLongman]

Snipin's a good job mate. Challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go 'ungry. 'Cause at the end o' the day as long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead.

[@meru2695]

Beautiful clips as always, archer builds are so fun to watch. Buone feste!

[@AZAELinvaded]

Anche te! Grazie :)

[@awoodenkiwitoy6293]

Ah i still remember my old bow build. Golem bow with radahns arrows (plus lion bow in off hand for extra 20 percent damage), comboed with arrows sting, ritual sword, jar shard, and some FGMS and golden vow. All that combined with through and through headshots, I'd be landing 1900+ shots on people who could even see me. Didn't stop me from ditching the pvp scene entirely of course, even with all the dopamine

[@jawanzaharrell7276]

This might be my favorite video so far

[@AZAELinvaded]

I love it so much

[@Nordic_boi]

Thank you for this lovely Christmas gift. Hope you have a lovely vacation❤

[@AZAELinvaded]

You too man! My pleasure:)

[@Lunadherent]

Can't believe you got this many amazing clips for this one. Some of these were Hobbits trilogy Legolas tier ridiculous stuff lol

[@AZAELinvaded]

Oh man, I have like 150 clips left too lol Too many good shots and invasions, it was a blast

[@DonClark-w8y]

Please make more! I've been extra good so far this year.

[@AZAELinvaded]

I will! don’t worry ;)

[@skyrevanvalor2128]

Man this is yet another legendary video the music theme goes so well and you as a player are able to bring out the true potential of the bow from close to long range with your skill, dodge evasion and big brain time. Nothing needs to be said about the editing other than perfect, thanks for making this great content brother.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you so much man! Glad you enjoyed it :))

[@patthonas]

watching your videos is like a throwback to the golden age of dark souls content man, top tier quality always managing to somehow outperform its preceding work. i really hope you blow up when Shadow of the Erdtree hits, you've been at this for so long and your determination is utterly inspiring. you are THE most fun souls content creator right now :)

[@AZAELinvaded]

Wow, this is a really huge compliment. I really miss those days of Souls content creators just doing their thing, with unique styles and scopes. Nowadays it feel a little…standardized, in the sense that it’s a race to get the more views, the more subs, constantly, and everyone is “playing the meta” to get those results as quickly as possible, sacrificing interesting and unique contents. I know very few souls creator that keep doing this, disregarding views and sub count, and they are “getting punished” for it. Let’s hope Shadow of the Erdtree will bring us a breath of fresh air.

[@_Ethereal420]

This is a nice build you got.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Pretty straightforward stuff, but somewhat effective and fun

[@TheValiantBob]

Dear Santa, I have been good all year, I swear. Please give me a bell bearing in Shadow of the Erdtree that lets me buy golem arrows and stormhawk feathers. Sincerely, Bow Fan

[@thebusinessmn1114]

this Archer build is the biggest menace to have invade your realm. You can't hide from them, and they have many different bows to kill you at all ranges. Cool design

[@AZAELinvaded]

It’s BY FAR the best iteration of every type of ranged combat in any FromSoft game. Not even a question.

[@hohohoupufuru]

Rain of Golem Arrows looks to be just as nasty as dual spears, dear lord

[@AZAELinvaded]

Not quite, but it’s up there. For sure one of the most dangerous ashes of war in the game.

[@vlad48329reborn]

That was a really nice end.

You truly are an inspiration for fun.

[@AZAELinvaded]

I’m glad you liked it man! It was fun as hell playing that way

[@MidwesternWendigo]

Would be cool to see a Dishonored: Corvo Attano themed build on Elden Ring. Usually always try and copy his character onto other games, but yeah just an idea for you and your channel for one of your next builds lol.

[@prins-henrik1530]

My two fingers are crossed for a golem arrow merchant in the dlc! On another note have you heard of Kodey Podey? His archery is crazy good

[@AZAELinvaded]

Not really! But I am gonna check them out, thanks!

[@wanderer9134]

Looks like I'm delaying more builds in the backlog to do a archery build.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Super fun, not for everyday play, but it’s interesting to not have melee options, it forces you to play very differently

[@rabidcabbage7230]

intro is amaazing!!!!!

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank u 🙏

[@TheTangeriner]

Yes.

[@cridus_]

man I wish I would have seen some radahn arrows shenanigans. like trading hits to exploit counter damage with them. though it used to be better, before the nerf to counter damage. protip: you can have a radahn bow in the offhand to boost the arrows' damage, and use the golem bow to fire them since it has a higher AR (on a quality build it should also be stronger than using two radahn bows to boost the arrows twice, iirc). also with golden great arrows you can buff yourself "for free".

[@AZAELinvaded]

I didn’t know that you can buff yourself with golden arrows! I thought you could only buff mobs. Nice!

[@elru8874]

I was waiting for the tf2 Soundtrack really till the end...it never came :') great Video tho you giving me so many reasons to replay elden ring again

[@EMS204]

Would love to see a "wind warrior" build from you, using the wind ashes since they are actually good as of 1.10 (with fashion as a priority)

[@AZAELinvaded]

Funny thing is that I had one in my draft for the longest time, but then I didn’t find a good fashion for it, or cohesive theme. I tried to make it work with lighting weapons, to have that “storm” aspect going on. Maybe when the DLC it will be something I’ll consider again :)

[@EMS204]

@@AZAELinvaded It's so great to hear back from you! And yeah, I can imagine the fashion must be pretty tough. By the way, did you catch that martial arts weapon in the trailer?! I can't wait)

Hey! I did 2 build breakdown so far, but at this point they are pretty old. Unfortunately I am not doing YT full time, I have a job and the time I can dedicate to create videos is very limited, so I’m trying to get out my montages first, then I’ll do the build guides.

[@Zekken.00]

This is a question that has kinds been itching the back of head for a bit but how many invasions do you usually record for these videos? cause i can't imagine the amount of time it takes to record everything

[@AZAELinvaded]

Ay! Sorry for the late reply. Well, usually I try to record AT LEAST 100/150 good clips for the video. So if you add to them the times I die, the “not so good” invasions, I invade roughly 250 times per character. Even more for some build, like I have countless invasions with Crimson Dragon, just because I enjoy that build a lot. In the end, what you see is like 15/25 invasions, cut and edited, but the raw footage is like endless lol 😅

I wont lie a bow build is mega annoying if they dont put the effort in doing real damage or use status effects.
