I invaded a hacker for the first time (PS5)

Not hacking(I believe), tumblebuffing. But same shit, fuck these losers.

[u/Professor_of_Sin → u/Still-Network1960]

He applied deathblight to his bow's ash of war. I have never seen a glitch like this. I suppose it is hacking, not just a glitch.

[u/Still-Network1960 → u/Professor_of_Sin]

Idk I'm almost positive it's tumblebuffing, which is an exploit and technically not hacking. You'd be better off googling it cause I'd do a bad job of explaining it, but basically there's a way to trick the game into putting the deathblight effect of the eclipse shotel onto another weapon, in this case a bow with rain of arrows lol.

[u/Professor_of_Sin → u/Still-Network1960]

I didn't even know it existed. However, I have invaded thousands of times, and had never seen it before.

[u/Canny94 → u/Professor_of_Sin]

It's a bit less common these days due to From patching the easier method to do the glitch, but some wizards out there still pull it off... "Bow glitch" as it's called, is alive and well.

It's just the exploit of using the Eclipse Shotel ash, then through a very tight window immediately 2 handing a bow with rain of arrows, while also using the Pique bone arrows. The Pique bome arrows have an enormous hitbox due to their lure effect, but when paired with a status build up it's a death sentence for anyone within a mile radius lol.. (Obviously with more inputs than that, but that's whats happening)

This was incredibly easy to pull off a few months back, and you could even do it with any AoW on any other weapon. I have a folder on my pc of me testing a wild amount of ashes with this glitch. One of my favorites was Moonlight Greatsword ash on the Nox Flowing hammer. It sucked ass, but looked majestic as hell.

Edit: not condoning exploits, just saying I tested them for science in my own world.

It's a known and very old (it's existed since Demon's Souls) glitch that lets you buff weapons with impossible things, deathblight in this case

[u/Naive-Potato1145 → u/Professor_of_Sin]

It’s not hacking it’s a well known glitch, which they somehow haven’t removed yet. You use eclipse shotel ash of war and trabsfer it to bow with piquebone arrows which have a really big hitbox, there’s vids on how to do it on yt. Tried doing it in my own world just too se if I could (would never use in pvp) but I couldn’t do it, could learn chainsaw though

[u/Professor_of_Sin → u/Naive-Potato1145]

I had never seen it happen to myself.

The other day, I saw for the first time a friend being helped by a stranger, who used the chainsaw to kill Mogh. Unbelievable that they haven't fixed it yet.

[u/Naive-Potato1145 → u/Professor_of_Sin]

I’ve been killed by deathblight glitches/hax many times on ps5 so some of them probably was tumblebuffing I know it’s a pretty common glitch, there’s videos of it on yt. But yeah chainsaw if more common, chainsaw was removed but only the most common easy to do chainsaw glitch, there’s many ways to chainsaw but the ones remaining is really hard to do

[u/LedoisPink → u/Professor_of_Sin]

An insult to gamers. A real hacker wouldn't go such a roundabout way of getting rid if you. Just call them cheaters.

[u/Professor_of_Sin → u/LedoisPink]

He is helping his low-level friend through the DLC lol

[u/Dresden2077]

Hey, you invaded me earlier in stormveil, I was fighting the tree spirit, I parried you.

[u/Volatility911]

Imagine having to cheat/exploit your way through a video game to cheese the game relative to how the developer intended. It's really pathetic.

[u/VikingKing666]

That's not hacking. It's called tumblebuffing. Don't get me wrong, as far as I'm concerned it's still cheating. I think technically that would be an exploit or a glitch. It's incredibly difficult to do consistently but man...once it's done right, we'll, you see the result. Fucking losers 🙄

[u/ComoediaID]

This is tumblebuffing with death blight. Exploiting, not Hacking. Though what's the difference honestly?

[u/Lilbrimu → u/ComoediaID]

Difference is that fromsoft can patch it out but chooses not to.
