The Nighthand (Big Damage Bow) | Elden Ring DLC Invasions

This is the greatest bow of all time!
First build of the dlc and I gotta say feels great! For those of you wondering what the talisman is, it’s the Enraged Divine Beast and it increases the damage of storms… including stormwing bone arrows ;)

In the hotfix I’m not 100% certain but the bow seems to be fixed. Before the update came out I was consistently doing 990 with 1 arrow headshot on the AoW. after hotfix one arrow does 542 but now two ore even three can hit and I did 770 with 2 and 1042 with 3 arrows so it’s still very good. I did not read this in the patch notes. But I swear there is a difference

[@portalmanHUN]

That's really cool. I was wondering if the talisman worked with the arrows.

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

I was honestly surprised when I tested it, but this was the highest pure physical damage I could get out of the e bows AoW. It’s still does insane damage w/o the storm arrows, and I didn’t think to try status arrows till just now 😅

[@rawquazza1321]

dope video love to see u back, gotta ask, what were your overall thoughts on the dlc? and specifically in the final boss? i loved the dlc but i felt like there were too many empty places, and kinda dissaponted they didnt introduce a good dex dagger, rn reduvia/erdtree/cinqueda are in the top for quite a big margin and damn i thought fan shot from the bow would be a mainly malee to mid range combat, but it seems like the arrows you can hit are capped to like 3 cuz from hitting people from far away didnt change the damage that much from using it melee and hitting all the arrows

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

I loved the dlc. I like how even though it’s very open a lot of the areas are interconnected. I’ve played through it on three different characters now and each one has found a spot that connects to an area that I didn’t know it would. And it’s so scenic (I like the ruins area the most). As for the final boss… I don’t know how many times he handed my cheeks back to me on a silver platter. I won’t lie, the first playthrough I fought him took a couple days 😅 Also I agree, the throwing daggers are nice but the rapier dagger was very underwhelming

[@echoinggarden6923]

what is your favourite bow? mind doing a ranking for recommendations?

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

For like all the bows? Besides Radahn’s Greatbow and Serpent Bow I think the dlc bows outclass all of the base game ones. Igon’s can one shot people with the ash but so can Radahn’s most of the time. I’d probably say Ansbach’s is the best default bow for damage if you have 43 dex. But if you’re wanting to apply status you can’t go wrong with the serpent bow. And personally I really like the horn bow, it just looks cool.

[@echoinggarden6923]

@@Thee_Gorgonzola I like Radahn's greatbow too. For dlc, I used Bone bow, cause its tracking is really nice just like the new cannon. It is hard to compare Ansbach's bow with the new aow fan arrows, since I can put that aow on any bow I like. Oh, I also forget the machine gun pulley bow, that can proc status quite fast in PVE.

[@jevmenyt3422]

Doesnt the bow still scale fairly better with strength than going all the way up to 99 dex? i gess the two night weapons having absolutely no scaling aside from dexterity didnt leave any other option, also bows are always 2 handed so there is always even more

Also the Arrow's soaring sting and the arrow's sting talisman do stack and shard of alexander is op on this build. also blue dancer talisman isn't doing much for you when you are over 30 carry weight.

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

could always just wait for a nerf before pvping. I'm not even doing invasions till there's a patch, considering there's lots of pve content to get through, and considering the generally broken state of pvp balance with lots of objectively broken stuff that everyone is using, across the spectrum from casual to tryhard. main issues for me are the presence of several bugs (or really just misconfigured animations) that allow weapons to do many times the damage of a normal weapon or even kill you with minimal counterplay at low latency, _without_ any of the difficulty/complexity of existing balance-shattering bugs like 9822 or chainsaw, which served as a "barrier to entry" to ensure that the vast majority of players you encountered did not use such bugs, so when you did encounter it, you could take it in stride, knowing the next match would be different. and the broken items are _everywhere_ right now, everyone is using them without even necessarily trying to exploit the glitches because it just so happens that many of the coolest looking weapons/abilities are also the most broken lol. even if there _was_ a counter for all of it, I'd still rather play after most of it is patched, before I get burned out on elden ring again. and there isn't _really_ a counter for all of it, besides "heavily restrict your build choices" and "git gud." personally, I had already maxed out the fire knight's greatsword before I noticed that it had a true combo that one-shot most players at 125 without 60 vigor + morgott's rune. it just looked cool, I didn't even bother to look it up since I could tell from the moveset it was going to be garbage in pvp just like all the other post-nerf colossal swords. turns out I overestimated from soft's QA team and unwittingly killed a bunch of players with an inescapable one-shot combo. I played a lot of dark souls, so I still have a bad habit of instinctively R1ing twice after the first hit. I especially facepalm when I do it with slow weapons. so for week 1 of SOTE, I had been wondering why nobody seemed to be dodging my 2nd swing. find out later, from a youtube video, the weapon was bugged and I must have been ruining the experience for a bunch of casual players and making them rage quit for a week straight. in other words, it'd be one thing if you had to go out of your way and perform some precise timing to break the game, since that has already been the status quo for a long time, with obscenely powerful exploits that anyone can technically use, provided they know what to do, invest the time to master it, and are degenerate enough to actually grief another player with it. but at the moment, there are thousands of players like me just wandering around unknowingly performing a glitch that does the same damage as the chainsaw glitch (your full healthbar) in most cases, albeit with more counterplay (easier to dodge). or trapping you in swift slash hell, or one-shotting you with lightning perfume, bleeding you in one R2 with a giant chicken wing, or one of a dozen other things. anyway, wishing that a completely broken weapon is not nerfed because it's fun anime shit is just... 🤦‍♀ there is no pvp-only fix for this. the problem with swift slash is not how much damage or poise damage it does to players, it's not some simple numeric value that can be adjusted for players only, it's the fundamentals of the attack animation. it's just a badly designed ability. there's no telegraph on the dash, the player completely disappears for a moment, the hitbox is ridiculously long and wide, the slash flurry that follows is even _less_ telegraphed (you know it comes some short period after the dash, but how long after? there's no buildup to it, the slash just appears suddenly and is already doing damage), the damage is very high for such a low-commitment, low-risk attack, the slash flurry applies status effects from the weapon, the slash flurry bypasses shields because its hitbox is ALL AROUND YOU, and just to make everything 10 times worse, there's almost no time between recovering from the first swift slash to doing it a 2nd time, making it perhaps the most spammable ash of war that does damage. so, how do you address any of that for pvp only? I agree with you that, all things being equal, if possible, within reason, nerfs done for the sake of pvp balance should only impact pvp. but the important keywords there are "all things being equal," "if possible," and "within reason." in this case it's just not possible. and really, that same logic could be applied to the chainsaw glitch. is the chainsaw glitch okay for PVE? is it okay that you can kill any boss in milliseconds because of the developer's mistake? of course not. they clearly didn't intend the chainsaw glitch, they've tried to fix it many times and have just failed to close all avenues. swift slash isn't as obviously unintentional, but I do think we'll see a nerf, and it's very likely it will be nerfed in PVE too, because this game doesn't have pvp-only animations, and it's the animations that are broken. and from soft won't lose any sleep over nerfing it in pve, for the same reason they nerfed the terra magicka cerulean hidden tear laser spam builds in the leadup to the DLC. and it's not because they don't want us to have nice things - they clearly spent quite a lot of effort creating these highly autistic light greatsword animations because they want us to enjoy fun anime shit. PVE balance is just as important as PVP balance, arguably even more important because there are a lot more players playing PVE. from one perspective, it is disappointing for it to be nerfed in PVE, because it isn't really that good in PVE. what's powerful about it is specifically powerful against small enemies that can be stun locked, especially humans who are susceptible to psychological warfare (which this AoW constitutes IMO). so would you even really use it in PVE? there are many more damaging moves you could be using that would be more effective against bosses. so what I'm getting at is, if you enjoy this particular ash so much that you even use it in PVE, then maybe you'll still enjoy it after it's been nerfed?

[@royalgreed4499]

Im a wannabe invader but not a fan of the typical cheese like ROB, moonveil,swift slash crap so ive been loving your videos, but i got to ask ive heard that 138 is the invade level , your at 200 what makes it great or better yet what is the difference you think. Oh side question do the scaldtree blessings effect invade level?

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

Honestly I don’t think one is better than the other. At 138 you can connect to people at 125 (which is the meta level I.e. dueling, tournaments etc.) and 150 (which is where a decent amount of players sit. And personally I’ve never noticed a difference besides the 50 or so extra levels of versatility. It’s just a pretty fun and active level bracket to invade in and I’ve noticed quite a few streamers trying it out so I’m feeling like I’m on to something lol.

What bow is that

[@Terminator45845]

Damn, how much of a boost does that talisman give? Those arrows are doing a lot more damage than bows usually do.

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

10% that and 8% with the arrow talisman. The thing is I think it could go even further but I love my two other talismans to give them up… oddly enough the Beast talisman doesn’t stack with Alexander’s, I find that really weird

[@Terminator45845]

@@Thee_Gorgonzola That is weird. I've also done testing with the 2 handed Talisman a couple days ago, and it also doesn't buff bow damage. I suppose it makes sense, considering it would literally be better than the Arrows sting, but still stinks it doesn't work on bows.

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

my understanding is that it's only doing that damage because of a bug that causes that particular animation to apply the full damage of ALL the spread arrows to any individual arrow. so whether you're hit at point blank by all the arrows or hit from like 30 meters by just 1 of the arrows, you still take the full damage. though obviously there are other boosts going on here, it's clear that if this bug were fixed, in most of the cases in this video the damage would vastly reduced, from e.g. 500 to more like 50.

@@Thee_Gorgonzola ahh yeh that one is nice. You use the Talisman for stealth while crouching aswell?

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

@@atalasstefano62 yessir. It’s probably my favorite talisman, and really good against far away mages.

[@atalasstefano62]

@@Thee_Gorgonzola Aye, i use it for invasions myself. Btw, the bow is scaling the same with str and dex? i think you get more dmg out of it if u go 50 str/50 dex. after u hit 60 dex (softcap) u get less dmg out of each point, while u get more from the other =)

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

True. The only reason I have 99 dex is for the claws and katana since they have no str scaling and high dex. But if you wanted to focus the bow definitely do a split.

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

@@user-bq5fr2hk6ono I’m on ps5, whenever you’re an invader and have the trick mirror talisman it gives off a red hue. For some reason this armor it’s more pronounced

[@theleviathan108]

I thought I had explored pretty thoroughly. Apparently I haven't, because I don't think I've seen any of those weapons you're using. They look fun. Just might not be able to use on my current strength build. Might need to roll up a dex build and give them a try. (ssshhhh, keep it quiet. Don't tell my friends I'm levelling dex)

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

I gotchu 🤫🤐

[@domenthebeast8885]

Making a Krauser build, so when I saw this bow was a thing it pretty much was an audible orgasm at the thought!

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

That’s a cool idea lol. Make sure to say “SLOPPY!” After every win

[@xamdcrownwell5499]

i love the bow. finally a decent range weapon. Btw how do you farm for the arrow materials?

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

I farmed the three storm hawks near the grace in stormveil. It took some time so after I was done I backed up my save for when I ran out.

Holy fuck a viable as fuck bow

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

*viable because of a ridiculous bug that it's almost hard to believe it could have been missed prior to launch until you remember this is from software we're talking about. prepare to be nerfed

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

@@ToxicallyMasculinelolI mean maybe it should be? Then again I’m not the arbiter on such information but most of the people it does a lot of damage on don’t have high defenses (based off their armor). Against a setup you see most high lvl players using it only does about 400 dmg, which is a lot don’t get me wrong but I wouldn’t call that broken
