LilGasmask666 – Can You Beat Borderlands 2 With ONLY The Minecraft Longbow?

This video is sponsored by instant gaming more on how you could save money on games later in the video Borderlands 2 is full of Easter eggs and references but the most memorable one for me has to be the Minecraft Easter egg in Costa Caverns So today we’re

Going to ask ourselves can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the Longbow here are the rules for this run first off this will be an ultimate Vault Hunter mode overpower 10 playthrough for the Minecraft players that have never played this game this just means enemies have four times health health regen and are

All 10 levels higher than us bar will not be allowed for this run and the Longbow is the only gun I can use the Longbow being a sniper type weapon means that zero is the character to pick for this run to complement his skills we will be using the legendary sniper class

Mod for a bunch of sniper Buffs this class mod also has us trade off two-thirds of our shield for some pretty intense crit damage bonuses so we will be super squishy for the whole run melee attacks in Zero’s kunai will be allowed for playing death Mark and slag to the

Bad guys but I can’t kill enemies with the melee damage if any of the Run invalid babies want to complain about this I literally put it in the rules so don’t make a fool yourself as for the other gear we have a basic shield and the Vault Hunter Relic as a placeholder

Here’s a quick peek at the build pretty basic sniper build stuff so let’s hop into the rung we start our journey in tutorial town a village recently overrun by pillagers in their fearsome ravagers and just like any Minecraft raid I used my bow to start taking these guys out

From afar lucky for us every single long bow you find in this game comes with a flame enchantment making combat with these fleshy Bandits and creatures relatively easy I used my time here to learn the Arc of the arrow shot so I could hit crits more efficiently the

Long well being one of three snipers in the game with no scope and also shooting Minecraft arrows at an upward angle made it a little goofy to aim the 10 out of 5 in velocity tripling or bullet speed also made this pretty chaotic to learn I found we were really accurate when we

Used the top of our Crosshair to aim instead of the middle anyway we met with the town’s only surviving villager he helped us fix up our Iron Golem friend and we made our way towards the first boss fight boom boom here we learned a pretty valuable lesson for this run no

Crits no damage this sniper is definitely a skill Cannon especially when it comes to armored fire resistant enemies like boom boom even on basic enemies body shots won’t get you very far but if you set it up and land the headshots you get the results you need foreign

Oh God that hurts that hurts that hurts that hurts after we dealt with those guys we fought our way up to Flint and I actually took my time here because I somehow survived this long while being super squishy this whole time in most of my runs I’m around

20 deaths at this point so I was super focused we made it to Flint and totally expected that this run could end here Flint being a fire resistant boss that has a phase where fire damage heals him was one thing but also giving him a mask

That blocks most of your crits made this fight pretty dumb before this run I was under the assumption that you just couldn’t kill Flint with fire weapons like look at this clip of me spamming him with a fire nor Fleet that’s not a great sign eh I knew this fight could be

A roadblock before I even started the run so I came up with the Strat so cheesy so goofy and so impractical that I really didn’t want to use it if I didn’t have to I’ll be calling this Strat Plan B plan a was to knock Flint

Out of his Arena and bug out his Ai and then we would just feed him Chris and hope that we could fight against his health regeneration and at first it looked like my arrow weren’t doing anything but zero had a trick up his sleeve I’m talking about critical

Ascension this skill gives zero more crit and sniper damage for every crate he hits these stacks of critical Ascension will start decaying if you stop getting crits after a short period of time or swap to a non-sniper weapon so now the question was could I stack enough critical Ascension to actually

Move his health bar swag please slag oh what the oh that was a grenade we’re good no way you have enough ammo dude we don’t need psych we don’t even need slag oh my God foreign I could be wrong but I think I might be the first person ever to kill Flint with

A fire weapon at op10 I was honestly really glad that that worked out looks like we’re gonna have to save Plan B for another run anyway we got claptrap’s boat back made it the three horns used my bully Mong Whispering skills stole a car made a villager color hit door guy

Changed my mind about the vehicle color met Corporal Reese sniped the crap out of a guy that stole his battery made a snow golem to avenge the 20 Bandits for Reese and finally made it to Sanctuary alright so we’re going to be waiting for Private dress-up to open this door for a

While so now is a great time to tell you about how instant gaming can save you money on your next video game purchase picture this all your homies get a new game and you see them over there having a blast so you decide to get the game

For yourself but uh oh it’s going to set you back 70 bucks yikes yeah video games are getting expensive nowadays but that’s where instant gaming comes in they have deals on tons of games and I’m willing to bet they’ve got deals on some of the games that have been rotting away

In your wish lists and the best part for me personally is that there’s no waiting for deals here that’s why they call it instant gaming and to the console homies watching instant gaming has you guys covered too so if you’re on Playstation Xbox or even switch they’ve got deals

With your name on them so how about this you think of a game you’ve been wanting to play and use my link in the description to at least see what kind of deal they’re offering on it and just know if you do end up making a purchase

Not only are you saving yourself money but you’re also supporting the channel anyway let’s get back to the Run what are we still doing here anyway the Firehawk left us a pretty frightening message so we set off the frostburn canyon I usually run right through this place because all the mandatory combat

Is at the very end but my haste got the best of me I got greedy and died to a couple of fire resistant Nomads halfway through and took this Run’s first death my first life and run is usually the best so this number is just going to

Start increasing fast now anyway we made it to Lilith and died a couple more times and honestly I’m blaming Lilith for this one for the Minecraft players imagine Lilith has an annoying Enderman that is supposed to help you fight but in reality just blinds you most of the

Time when it teleports and you also have to constantly feed its drug habits oh yeah and it also has a really dumb catchphrase anyway some big boy vindicators showed up and I proved that they are killable with the long bow before dealing with the others in my signature Style rebozo

I put the stinky on him after all that was dealt with our next goal is to go save our boy Roland he was captured and being held in the bloodshot Woodland mansion and we are going to need a new car to sneak in now usually this is the

Part of the run where I get a break from the harsh cruel combat and get to fight some cars that aren’t balanced properly for endgame and feel like a god for two minutes but like I said before no crits no damage even with boar fighting the cars was actually pretty scary stuff

This just goes to show how important hitting crits was during this run after stealing enough parts to make ourselves a new Minecart we made it back to the bloodshot mansion and took on bad Ma this fight was a bit rough homie had a shield and it was making it really hard

To hit the crits we needed it was sloppy but we took him out and made our way inside so we start fighting through all the mobs and things were going great right up until the dreaded toilet room yeah these bone Crushers they were turning me into bone meal anytime a

Bullet hit me it would just break my shield and just take a chunk of my health in the process like imagine getting shot by all you have to block the bullet is a piece of cardboard it’s not gonna do much but you’re getting shot so you’re gonna take what you can

Get the bad guys also had The High Ground here I wish I had some ender pearls to gain some height Advantage but all I had were these invisibility potions that only last five seconds after a few deaths I changed up my strategy a bit I decided to leave some

Of the psychos alive and just keep them close by this way when I ended up getting shot twice I had a totem of undying ready to get me back into the action we eventually took out enough bad guys for the door to open and Mad Mike

Showed up I don’t know why but he just decided to jump into the end portal without placing a bed first uh guess I wish him luck on fighting the Ender oh okay that’s unfortunate oh well we found Roland and he was in big trouble homie

Set off a skulk sensor in the ward and came and nabbed him up we had to be quick here because if we didn’t kill the warden in time he would take Rowan to the Friendship Gulag where the fight is a lot harder on the run up to him we

Fought our first loaders and honestly that didn’t go too well these yellow Health fire armored enemies are fire resistant and we end up doing about a quarter of the damage that we should be doing so are fighting these basic armored enemies is rough how’s a giant armored enemy that spawns more armored

Enemies going to go well extremely well considering that he has a giant crisp spot and doesn’t move at all yeah I was able to get a good amount of critical Ascension Stacks using this Rainbow Six Siege type angle and I managed to take out the warden before it could even

Spawn any bad guys anyway we fought off the rest of the loaders with Roland and made it back to Sanctuary our next mission was to blow up a train and steal the Balki for the first time in a while we were able to light the three bar kids

On fire without needing a fire melon and after that mordo and Tina helped us make some TNT to blow up that train but not before it could take another victim okay maybe a couple victims anyway we started our fight with Wilhelm and this fight was pretty rough between him

Spawning loaders and surveyors with no crit spots he himself also hits pretty hard so I had to initiate the gamer posture for this fight step one was to get the loaders dealt with this would give me less to worry about and also help me build up some critical Ascension

Stacks for Wilhelm himself and after that I would just Target Wilhelm and tried to fight against his shield being recharged I tried to leave the surveyors alive in case I needed a second wind but that wasn’t a guarantee no crits no damage so if I was going to kill one of

These I was going to have to hope they would line themselves up for a bore shot for the Minecraft players think of boar as the piercing enchantment but the bullet doubles its damage every time it hits something this skill can one shot some enemies if their hurt boxes are

Overlapping because the damage just keeps stacking so that was something we prayed for during the fight this is actually a pretty close fight I was running out of ammo towards the end of it gosh darn it dude I knew mending wasn’t worth it but we had plenty of

Critical Ascension Stacks so we had just enough ammo to finish this fight anyway we stole another battery for the city Shield system but turns out it had a virus planted in it and now Herobrine is hidden somewhere in Borderlands 2. uh I guess please leave a comment if you end

Up seeing him in the video uh I’m kind of scared right now yeah so Sanctuary turned into a giant end Island and then disappeared I forgot to place a bed up there so now we need a new way to get home I found a route through the fridge

Where all my other skeleton Brethren live us bone boys need to stick together so they didn’t do me any harm as I passed through we made it to the Awash and found the beacon we needed to get back the sanctuary only if she was an

Angry glow squid ate it so we were gonna have to kill that thing our first attempt went pretty bad and I thought this fight was gonna be tough but then I came back beamed in the eyeballs and killed it in like five seconds now that

We had our Beacon all we needed to do was set it up and defend it I didn’t have 164 iron blocks to get any stat boosts so when Jack moonshot 50 loaders at me I was pretty much beat right there after struggling my way through another

15 deaths we were finally able to make it back home our next mission was to prep for the big bunker raid and step one of that was getting claptrap’s upgrade from The Preserve we started trying to wound the loaders to get the front door open uh emphasis on trying

Like we could wound the loaders but by the time we wounded the next one they would just heal and not be classified as wounded anymore lucky for us this game is spaghetti coated and if you end up dying while one of the loaders is still wounded the game doesn’t realize that

They heal back to full health and they still count towards the three wounded loader requirement so after a few tactical respawns we made it deeper into The Preserve and started fighting Pomona and tumba I didn’t really need to fight these guys but I just kind of felt like

It that was until I actually started trying to hit pomon’s crit spot and instantly regretted it those guys died eventually and I continued on the first mandatory mobbing section here was a while it was fine until the stalker started throwing the loaders around making it really hard to hit crits

Oh my god dude this goofy off fight dude we started prioritizing the stalkers to avoid this issue and the Uber eventually showed up this thing is big and slow so hitting crits on it was pretty easy uh right up until both of his arms fell off and no longer had any crit spots

Honestly not sure why his eyeball is in a crit spot just like literally every other loader ever but at least these guys are one of the few enemies that don’t have health regen so we just had to be patient but this still took a long time long enough that the loaders we

Previously killed hit their 25 minute respawn timer right as we are running out of ammo so that was a bit scary we managed to clutch up though and made our way to the loot dudes much like the baby zombies in Minecraft do you want to fight these guys one at a time because

Having four of them on you would be pretty bad I think our gear had looting on it because this time around we got three legendaries a Logan’s gun A shredifier and A Maggie pretty good haul which reminds me if you want any of this cool loot or to try this challenge for

Yourself I have the safe file on my Discord server Link in the description if you want to join after that it was pretty much a straight shot to bloodwing uh uh oh wolves my sworn enemy anyway after losing a few ribs we made it to bloodwing so this fight had the

Potential to be pretty tough because it’s a three-phase fight where she goes through fire shock and corrosive phases during my last run where I was tied to a gun lock to one element this fight took a long time because that last corrosive phase had so much damage reduction lucky

For us in this fight we take on the fireface first so all the pressure isn’t built up to the last phase we could die during this fight and it wouldn’t be a big deal since the first phase is the only one to worry about but honestly we’re getting ahead of ourselves and

Worrying too much this gun killed flint and I fought the Ender Dragon before so you think some spicy bird can stop us no no stop no stop stop please kill it please kill it thank you Let’s go let’s go dude all right guys Blood Ring is starting to get bodied I’ve got a feeling she won’t back down easily though anyway after stacking a bunch of critical Ascension off of bloodwing we grabbed the claptrap upgrade and made it back home the next

Thing we needed for the bunker raid was Brix air support so we made our way to Thousand Cuts and yeah at this point the game just started falling apart I think I tried to do that when I died no anyway we made it to Brick’s initiation

And decided to make all the goliaths mad we eventually got one to go full God life then we had to take him on but for some reason I just couldn’t hit any crits on this guy sure his head feels around a lot and that makes it harder to

Hit but with the amount of rounds I shot in that General vicinity I should have at least hit a few I ended up dying and just summed it up as an anomaly because as soon as I got back I just bodied him so I guess that’s kind of funny after

That we put the stinky on sarcastic slab put the stinky on a loader brick put the stinky on the loader and then brick and I used the power of friendship to put the stinky on a loader together oh set me up set me up we now had Brix air support backing us

Up so all that was left was to go assassinate the Jack double and steal his voice we caught the faker by surprise and filled his face with arrows before he had a chance to run away we stole his watch and pressed a few buttons and made our way out of there

With all the tools we needed we made our way up to the bunker claptrap snuck Us in and our first door was guarded by this toaster right here usually we just use our Constructor displacement strut to get him to look at this wall so all of his missiles just hit the door but

This time we tricked it into looking the other way that way we could hit its crit spot from over here and take it out efficiently our next Target wouldn’t be this easy though long time viewers know about the issues with these baby turrets these guys are fire resistant don’t have

Crit spots and are filled by regeneration 2 potions and uh am I forgetting something oh yeah they’re just straight up immune to Splash damage because of a glitch the Longbow doesn’t deal Splash damage so that’s not the problem the issue comes from our kunai not being able to slag these turrets so

That they would take triple damage the kunai still played death mark but that wears off quickly and is only an 80 damage boost so in order to kill these things we need to use some type of slag grenade to make these guys purple or do

We right before I went to go find a slag grenade I had an idea that might make this fight doable right before you get to these turrets a couple of loaders spawn my plan was to disarm one and slowly fire shots at them to stack critical Ascension giving us some more

Sniper damage to use on the turrets and this process was pretty tedious I had to make sure I waited in between each shot to let him regen as much health as possible but also not wait too long so that I started losing my stacks two Fang AKA our multi-shot enchantment with proc

As well this is not good for stacking because it deals extra damage to the loader but doesn’t give us an extra stack of critical Ascension I also couldn’t unspec and do it because I needed toothpang for that extra DPS on the turrets ammo is also an issue in

Order to have enough ammo to continue stacking I would have to jump off this Cliff to get the free ammo from respawning I would lose about 10 Stacks in this process and the whole thing was just a constant tug of war eventually I got 35 stacks and went after the first

Turret and just barely got away with the kill and for the second one I accidentally killed off my stacking loader so that sucked I didn’t want to have to reset the map and fight both turrets again but I noticed that this turret was level 89 which is the lowest

Possible level it could spawn at so I tried to brute force it for this to work we were going to need two Fang to proc more times than not we were also going to have to utilize all four of our longbows we could not waste any time

Reloading so instead we decided to swap to our other three fully charged crossbows to have a chance at killing this cursed turret and after like 10 attempts we managed to pull it off oh my [ __ ] god dude this game’s stupid well that only took 120 shots to

Handle let’s see how many this giant toaster takes oh like 15 maybe that’s cool and makes sense and the last thing we need to do before the bunker fight was face make shooty oh so we made it to the bunker and our objective was to blow up 11 giant

Turrets and if the tiny ones went bad you can only imagine that the big ones would be worse right nope they have a crit spot conveniently placed down the back of them after that it was time to fight the bunker aka the greatest defense spot ever built if some tiny

Turret ate up all of our ammo I can only imagine that this fight was going to be impossible oh yeah all right for the Minecraft players wondering what the heck just happened this boss has multiple hurt boxes that overlap on each other so if you know where to shoot this guy or just

Lets the bullet get stuck bouncing back and forth and practically one-shotting this boss it leaves it at one Health since it has to die in this spot so I decided to finish him off with style let’s go it was now time to jump down into Angel core and deal with multiple waves of

Loaders this should be fine though right guys sure the laser turrets have Aimbot and no crit spot but there will be plenty of loaders to stack critical Ascension on everything’s gonna be fine ah [ __ ] the Enderman is back hold on anyway a fight that should take five

Minutes maybe took about half an hour and then the last injector we had to destroy glitched out and just became Invincible still not sure what caused this but it has to be something to do with the other injectors respawning after 25 minutes or just taking too long

In general we got lucky on our kunai managed to take it out for some reason I don’t know spaghetti code or something I’m just glad we didn’t have to redo this whole fight anyway Roland died the Enderman got kidnapped and now we had to go to sawtooth’s cauldron here we had to

Take out four more shielded Nomad dudes and honestly I was just kind of getting farmed by these guys I was just constantly surrounded and if you mix that with how squishy I was you get an experience similar to falling into a mob grinder we eventually got enough sneaky headshots and destroyed boombringer so

That mortar would come down and fight us the last thing we needed to do was fight a few guests but this Blaster Goliath was causing chaos up here I decided to knock his helmet off so he would enter rage mode but then my guy just started trying to punch the buzzards and just

Fell off the tower that didn’t though because homie just set his game mode to creative and flew his way back up here round two honestly I don’t even want to talk about killing the buzzards anymore just know that I did I was way too invested in this guy’s Journey he was launching

Other bad guys around and I wanted to see what happened but tragically he ran off too far before I had a chance to put a name tag on him so he despawned we’ll miss you Blaster Goliath anyway we used the bombs we stole to get to the

Boneyard and spun a bunch of valves before crashing our car into a pipe and Tony Hawking the thing we made it to the Badlands after that with the goal of sneaking in getting the data we needed and getting out and if you thought I was gonna fight Saturn the giant tanky fire

Resistant no crit spot having scary robot of death yeah right this guy is optional maybe when skags fly what the oh come on dude so the plan to kill Saturn was to use his little turret attachments to rack up board damage these turrets have separate health bars and have health regen while

Saturn doesn’t so after hitting one of these turrets I would let them regen a little bit before continuing to use them against Saturn after one heartbreaking fail we managed to get the kill sneak in steal the data and make it out were you expecting me to stay alive well that’s

Your own fault we were finally ready for the final stride towards the Vault combat at the claptrap door was going to be pretty scary because super surveyors spawn normal surveyors are an issue because they don’t have crit spots and now imagine one that’s five times tankier the plan for these guys was to

Lure them into a trap by wounding other loaders and hoping we could slag them with kunai and just brute force it or you know it could just fly too close to another surveyor and just get bored we managed to stack a good amount of critical Ascension during this big fight

And that helped us finish it relatively well after that we did the parkour map known as Heroes us and made it to our fight with Jack the first phase of this fight isn’t anything too special but when Jack’s Shield breaks two things happen that could cause some issues

First off he’s got some crazy health regen and second he spawns another one of those darn surveyors that gives him an invincibility Shield after five attempts I managed to accidentally bore kill the Drone and then Jack just glitched out letting me finish him off pretty much for free and just like that

It was now time for our final fight with the warrior so this fight would be pretty tough if we did it the intended way the warrior has multiple slam attacks that are pretty much undodgeable and are only realistic revives were Phantoms and healing was out of the

Question because the slams were just way too frequent yeah that’s exactly what I’m talking about I’m literally getting comboed in the air I’m getting juggled now we could use one of the 64 different safe spots next to a respawning ammo crate on this map and just take him out the boring way

Or we could do something funnier and trick the warrior into stepping on a Lego and taking him out the boring way as the Warriors sat there with one HP left to spare we set ourselves up and ended this run and just like that now we know you can

Beat Borderlands 2 with only the longbow bonus content time woo all right so we might have beat the game but we didn’t find a single Diamond the whole run so we headed towards Costa Caverns to go mine some we made it to Diamond level and were ambushed by a horde of creepers

But we weren’t going to let them stop us from finding what we came for a trophy to commemorate this run and some diamonds why are they purple before you go I just wanted to say thank you so much for making it this far into the video if you want to support the
