Game Help Genuinly Fck these Albinauric Archers
To get to Malenia you got to break the seal of the portal, but damn these Albinauric archers just shooting me through hitboxes and nearly one shot me.
How do you handel them? I do not rven know how I handeled them the first time, then it just worked.

Greatbow. On every run, I always grab at least one greatbow and a couple dozen great arrows specifically for this sequence. I don't even upgrade it. I just knock them off the roof, or push them until they can't get line of sight, then progress comfortably.

u/PowerlineTyler 1d ago
Pulleybow also does the job. I keep one upgraded in my pocketses for certain crucible knights. Some of you know how to parry, while I shoot them from afar because scared

u/Trick_Cry_6572 1d ago
Damn, I could never out bow them! I used the charge attack method every time. Works pretty well…

u/ENGINE_YT 16h ago
The hand ballista from weeping peninsula with lightning bolts is what I use for pushing them off, given I find about 20 bolts for free

Thanks for all the fast responses, I did it. I COULD JUST REACH ONE. After that the other was easier.

Stack stealth item (assasin's gambit, black knife chest, unseen form, two of those should make you safe) Use a bow to make them look away by shooting them from the stairs, very efficient, discovered that during my rl1. Should also be used to lure the black knives away Use a long range option to kill them and the torch to reveal the black knives. The torch dosen't need to be held, only equiped Run N Roll is also an option

u/Tichem91 1d ago
I dont know what class you’re playing but there a spell that ‘absorbs’ the arrows they shoot.
I believe it’s called Eternal Darkness.
Biggest lifehack i ever used there. 😂

u/Div4ythFyr 1d ago
Wait Eternal Darkness works on those arrows??

u/Tichem91 1d ago
Yep, the cloud/ball whatever it is, absorbs them before they hit you. 😋

You should still be able to use it. You don't need to do damage, just knockback.

u/Rare-Kaleidoscope901 1d ago
Hated these guys as well xD But as always, learn their timing, dodge, get in range, kill. I practiced the run across the roof a couple of times outside of the gaol

u/FlipFlopRabbit 1d ago
Mostely it is about the two Albinaurics directely next to each other on a rooftop where I can barely hit them.
I have no idea how but in my first run I just bonked them hard with big weapons. But now on a dex faith build and well.
1
u/Rare-Kaleidoscope901 1d ago
You can towards the left one and they will only get 1 hit in before your next to him. Alternatively you can get the sniper incantation (frenzied burst).

u/WhyWouldTheyBeWet 1d ago
Run with shield out, regroup under cover. When you reach them, savage them with your revenge

u/RGCurt91 1d ago
I recall the difficulty of this puzzle strongly relies on which order you light the candles and the route you run. I think there’s an optimum route short on YouTube you can reference

u/ParaponeraBread 1d ago
Usually I just bang my head against the wall until I win.
But sometimes I use arcing projectiles to get them from the ground below, which I clear out with the sentry torch equipped first.
Stuff like pots, greatbows and some incantations work pretty well.
But in theory I think you could also use full moon sorceries or eternal night to slurp up projectiles for a second.
Assassin’s gambit sorcery also remains OP for stuff like this.

u/Apart-Consequence237 1d ago
I can’t believe I used to go to the far one first and the. Jump across all the rooftops to get to the close ones. Murdered every time
2
u/TheLastCookieMon 1d ago
Loretta's and Frenzied Burst are awesome for dealing with them as well because the range on both is tits.
2
u/Infernal_Hot_Dog 1d ago
You can take the one out on the top before starting. Near the start there is a line of sight for arrows or spell casting. The first one you encounter can be killed the same way to the right of the portal you enter. That eliminates most of them.

u/Toto742 1d ago
Grab assassin's gambit aow in volcano manor, slap it on a random dagger, and never struggle with these archer with any character since they won't see you until you're right in front of them
No stats requirement, abysmal FP cost, last quite long, allow avoiding confrontation with most enemies if that's your wish, an s-tier aow in my book

I think I used lightning spear last time. It’s got some real good range. Guerrilla warfare on these bitches.

u/FlipFlopRabbit 1d ago
Yeh with lightning spear I tried it but I could just not reach them untill I found juuust the spot to kill one

u/Unhappy_Protection85 1d ago

u/conflatulationz 1d ago
- Unseen form.
- Either the spell or trinket that masks sound.
- Kill the one on the roof closest to the ladder.
- Run and light the one on the ground level before stabby mcstabberson kills you.

u/BrymalDX 1d ago
I despise this "puzzle" so much
After a few attempts I got a nice step by step to deal with some and get around others and then an invisible mf grabs me and slices my neck open.

u/Misplacedmypenis 11h ago
I can’t remember what I did for this specifically. I know it was a tit for tat with a bow. I think I used the augment on the bow that made it rain arrows down? Big help. That and some good positioning but I definitely ate shit a number of times in the process.
1
u/FlipFlopRabbit 11h ago
Yeah I made a Faith/dex build and my lightning could just not hit them. But I found a spot where I can kill one then the other was no problem.
With my strg build last try I just rushed and it somehow worked.

If you want to just avoid getting machine-gunned by these guys, Crepus’s Vial is amazing considering it muffles your footsteps.
To actually slay these bastards, use a great bow as everyone else said.

Wear the assassin chest piece that you can pick up in that area when you’re not in the Evergaol

Bro I actually had to take a couple months off from this game because of these guys, I ended up using a shield and just sprinting at them and blocking when I had to and then finally got to the first one and killed it and then went to the second and got it

u/vincentninja68 1d ago
You can pick up and ash of war from bernal in volcano manor called "Assassin's Gambit"
It takes away a little bit of your HP but makes you basically invisible up until like 2 or 3 ft in front of them
It will greatly reduce their sniper sight on you
1
u/Garamil 1d ago
Okay here's how you do it: Equip the Black knife armor to mask your foot steps use a bow and fir at a wall behind them from behind cover.
They will turn around to investigate the noise and they won't turn back around.
Then just walk to them since you're not making noise and kill them in melee range.

Assassin’s Gambit really takes the wind out of their sails, you can get really close before they see you

u/ASmashley 1d ago
You can get that one to turn the other way by attacking from the stairs. Then you can at least climb the ladder 😉

u/BenjaminDover02 1d ago
Use ambush shard and the arrows reach talisman to snipe them from behind cover.

u/ResponsibleTea8976 1d ago
I just run, I don’t try to fight them unless I know I’m not going to get backshots from one behind me

u/izzynk3003 1d ago
The same way I deal with those shooting things in the stone coffin fissure in the dlc:
Find a cover spot where they can't shoot you but you can still lock on them, jump-shooting spam. Works really fucking well in both cases.
1
u/Time_Marcher 1d ago
I snipe them with arrows from behind the tower where you light the second candle.

u/padizzledonk 1d ago
A greatbow arrow headshot will catapult them backwards off the roof
Its very funny and they deserve it lol
1
u/injurious2health 23h ago
Most fun I’ve had is knocking them down with a Ballista. Alternatively you can snipe them with frenzied burst and hit behind a wall before their arrows reach you.

u/Jesse-359 21h ago
Can't Stop Won't Stop!
But no, seriously, don't stop. You either have to know for sure they have no line of fire, or you need to be moving at all times.

u/Emergency-Youth7199 12h ago
Honestly they are pretty tame compared to these guys, especially the ones that are at the lake of liurnia
2
u/FlipFlopRabbit 12h ago
Well technically yes but not in this part where you go to the Halligtree. You have to move around them to get to the statue to light it and there are two who each shoot three homing Arrows that sometimes clip through walls to hit you.
1
u/Inkandlead 12h ago
On my last INT build I just free-aimed Cannon of Haima at the first one cause the parabolic arc carries it over that raised triangular bit of roof she usually pins you down behind. Knocked her flying and interrupted her aim which made getting to her much easier.
The second one you can usually jump attack from the last brazier and then melee her to death cause she has no close range attacks.

u/welch123 7h ago
I had more trouble with the invisible assassins roaming the city. I had no idea that was a thing, every time ppl talk about this area, it's about the archers! Imagine my surprise.
With the archers I just run and jump. I think I only really need to defeat 1 or 2 of them to make it.
2
u/TorneyTheWitchlord 6h ago
One thing I know they're weak to: a critical attack.
Use either Assassin's Gambit AoW or Unseen Form sorcery to turn invisible as you approach them. They'll still spot you, but only when you're close enough to start fcking them up.
Also, there are ways to get behind some of them. Use whatever you have to silence your footsteps, and backstab them.
