We need that DLC, because Elden Ring challenge runs are getting filthy now: horse-only, bow-only, no arrows, just mounted attacks

Like some karmic counter-balance to the dominance of stealth archers in the Elder Scrolls games, FromSoftware's fantasy RPGs have historically reduced bows to unimpressive damage-dealers or cheese weapons with some status effect utility. This is also true in Elden Ring, where even the best bow builds tend to struggle compared to simpler melee or magic builds. This of course means that a sub-par bow will really underperform, so it follows that a bow-only character that can't use arrows would have a devil of time. 

Such is the crux of the latest ridiculous Elden Ring challenge run from YouTuber and Twitch streamer Bushy, who's made a career out of beating FromSoftware's open-world epic in the silliest, most difficult ways you can imagine. The title of Bushy's latest video, 'I beat Elden Ring with only a bow without arrows,' is perfectly accurate, but for my money it doesn't quite convey the sheer absurdity of the challenge. 

So, how do you deal damage with a bow without using arrows? Well, bows do have melee attacks in Elden Ring, or at least greatbows do. The problem is, these attacks are only available when you're riding your spiritual mount Torrent. This forced Bushy to resort to a mod that lets you ride Torrent anywhere in the game, but while that may sound like a big advantage, riding around wielding a glorified stick and without the ability to properly dodge attacks thoroughly offsets it. 

Bushy's runs generally involve killing Elden Ring's core Remembrance-bearing bosses, and this not-really-a-bow character unsurprisingly ran into some problems there. Torrent can't dodge very well, so he ends up eating a lot of attacks that you could normally roll through, forcing Bushy to split his healing flasks between his
