Yhorm Bow Kill - Hyper Mode Archer Build - Stream Highlight

Relevant Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/57p0nu/yhorm_the_giant_hyper_mode_archer_kill/

This clip highlights my favorite boss fight from my Bow Only Archer build I have been preparing for the upcoming DLC, Ashes of Ariandel. After several attempts the day prior, I came back to face Yhorm with a plan: hyper mode.

In Souls games previous like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1, hyper mode refers to stacking damage bonuses while being in a state of critical health. In Dark Souls 3, hyper mode consists of wearing the Red Tearstone Ring and having the Morion Blade in the offhand for a multiplicative damage bonus of 144% while under 20% HP. With my current stats, that means being below 118 HP. Granted, this HP hardly mattered as almost all of Yhorm's attacks would one-shot me anyway with only 594 HP when embered.

My stats:
Vigor              16
Attunement  11
Endurance    22
Vitality            9
Strength        14
Dexterity        55
Intelligence   10
Faith                8
Luck               14

My gear:
Black Bow of Pharis +10
Morion Blade (offhand)

Pharis's Hat
Shadow Garb
Master's Gloves
Shadow Leggings

Chloranthy Ring
Red Tearstone Ring
Hawk Ring
Flynn's Ring

I'm not one for extreme challenges. I'll leave the Soul Level 1, Broken Straight Sword, Calamity Ring, All Bosses while Blindfolded and playing with a Guitar Hero Controller and tripping on 'shroms to Lobos Jr. However, this build has been a ton of fun and enough of a challenge to bring back the sense of pride and accomplishment that I felt when I first played Dark Souls 1 years ago.

I now stream regularly on YouTube Gaming (gaming.youtube/itsbluelizardjello) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00AM - 2:00PM (MST) and would love to have you join. Otherwise, I still produce content for uploading to YouTube and all streams will be made available as well (unedited).
