Dark Souls All Bosses (Mostly) Composite Bow

This is a Dark Souls All Bosses run. It mainly uses the Composite Bow. There are 2 different starts, if Hunter is chosen the Short Bow is used to kill the Asylum Demon. If Thief is chosen, then Black Firebombs are used to kill the Asylum Demon. I personally also use Firebombs to kill the Capra Demon, but feel free to use the bow for him as well for a slightly 'purer' bow run.

- Arrow management is key early in the run, especially when going after the Gaping Dragon, but later on it becomes less important as you can dupe Boss Souls and buy as many arrows as you'll ever need later. Really you don't need to do any leveling (except maybe to use the Bow if you start as Thief) before Gaping, so after upgrading the Bow to +5, just buy a lot of arrows.
- Use Large Arrows. Yeah, they're expensive, but the extra damage is worth it. This isn't a sniper run.
- A word on Titanite Chunks. You want 7 total to get to +14. If you're lucky/good, you'll have +14 just before you fight Stray Demon, but you might have only +13 and have to trade for the last one and fight Stray Demon with +13, which is fine.
- There are 2 in New Londo Ruins, 2 Giants that 100% drop them in Sen's Fortress, and 2 Black Knights that drop them in Undead Burg. There's also 1 in Anor Londo on the ground, and you can trade for 1 when you return to the Undead Asylum if you pick up the Rubbish. I consider killing the Giants and Black Knights to be pretty easy (if you do it in the order in the notes below), and picking up the 1 in Anor Londo is easy as well (if a bit time consuming). It's also easy to trade for the one in Undead Asylum. So that makes 6. The 2 in New Londo Ruins are much trickier, but the one in the chest behind the mini-boss thing is the easier of the two to get. So my advice is: Kill the 1st Crystal Lizard (near the Longbow), and if you don't get a Chunk there, pick up that one from New Londo Ruins and the other 6 mentioned above. IF you're confident, you can get both from New Londo and not have to get the Rubbish to trade, or skip the 1 in Anor Londo. If the second Crystal Lizard also drops a Chunk, you can skip both!

Starts: Hunter, Master Key or Thief, Black Firebombs. The difference is if you start Thief you have to level Str to 11 to use the Composite bow, and pick up the Longbow for the Ingward kill. With Hunter, you don't need the Longbow, but you do have to pick up the Firebombs from Firelink Shrine. Both starts pick up the Homeward Bones, RTSR, and Grass Crest Shield. Everything else is pretty much the same. The start is a bit ineffcient and could be done faster by taking more risks (e.g. Going to New Londo Ruins for the bow first and getting the RTSR after lowering the water etc.), but this is more of a casual speed route rather than the absolute fastest route possible.

The Route does use Sen's Gate Skip as well, though it doesn't have to, you could kill Quelaag after Gargoyles if you like.

Asylum
- You can skip the Short Sword/Bandit Knife if you want to and trust yourself to manage arrows well, otherwise you might want to get them in case you run out of arrows before Iron Golem and need to kill enemies for souls... (though you can always just reset if that happens...). Pick up the shield though.
- Kill the Asylum Demon
- (Optional) Pick up the small soul after killing the Asylum Demon (probably not necessary, but a few extra arrows can't hurt)

Firelink Shrine, New Londo Ruins, Valley of Drakes, Undead Parish
(If Hunter) Pick up the Firebombs
- Pick up the Homeward Bones and use one immediately
- Head down to New Londo Ruins, pick up the small soul at the bottom of the elevator
- Head to Valley of Drakes, pick up the soul inside the door and at the Undead Dragon
- Get the RTSR and Grass Crest Shield (Longbow if Thief)
- Kill the Crystal Lizard (It sometimes drops Large Titanite Shards, or Chunks, which are both useful later)
- Head to Undead Parish
- Run to the Elevator to Firelink Shrine and take it.

Firelink Shrine, New Londo Ruins
- Rest at the bonfire (If Thief, level 11 Str)
- Head to New Londo Ruins
- Kill Ingward from the stairs near his building by shooting him a few times and finishing him off with Firebombs, arrows if necessary.
- Head to the building with the Seal and get the Composite Bow and lower the water. Equip the Large Arrows.
- Optimally you want to get the following items from New Londo Ruins before leaving: 2 Titanite Chunks (one from the chest, one behind the hidden wall), the Very Large Ember. If you know your way around it's not too bad, if you don't it's kinda rough. Pick up soul items if you like as well.  Homeward Bone after getting those 3 items.

Firelink Shrine, Undead Burg
- Head to the Undead Merchant and buy the Residence Key, 25 Firebombs if doing Capra Cheese, and some Large Arrows
- Kill the Crystal Lizard

Undead Parish
- Run to the Bonfire rest at it.
- Get 8200 Souls and upgrade the bow to +5

- It's probably a good idea to buy some more arrows at this point, and maybe level some Str
- Head to Firelink Shrine

Firelink Shrine, Undead Burg, The Depths
- Optimal strategy is to not rest at the bonfire, you want to Homeward Bone back to the Parish after Gaping Dragon, but if you think you're going to die in Lower Undead Burg or The Depths, you might want to rest anyway.
- Head to Undead Burg and do the railing Jump Lower Undead Burg Skip
- Killing the Undead Attack dogs is highly recommended.

- Head to the Crestfallen Merchant and buy enough Large Titanite Shards to upgrade bow to +10 (It's 9 total to get from +5 to +9, so you should only need at most 5 since there are 2 in the chest and 2 on the roof)
- Also buy arrows if necessary
- Homeward Bone and upgrade the Bow to +10, level Str if it's below 27, Dex if you have 27 Str already (you shouldn't, but who knows?)
- Set up RTSR using the Crossbowman
- Kill the Giant that throws the huge firebombs, pick up the Chunk
- Kill Iron Golem (Manually aim below the knee to stagger/knock down, you always want to knock him off the roof if you can, but if not, just shoot him to death, should be plenty of damage!)

Anor Londo
- Rest at the bonfire and do any necessary leveling (Vitality to 12, Str up to 27, then Dex if Str is already 27, don't go past 40 Dex)
