Note: I have editted the page to separate any strategy from factual game information. Though much longer then I wanted it to be I am trying to convey to new gamers how they can possibly gain an advantage in retrieving the bow and consequences that might arise if using methods that many do with weapons loaning. (I will post a blog later on weapon loaning that I have researched and do myself even.)

If you think you can edit it down and still relay a ranged strategy for getting past this particular hard path to the weapon then let me know and I can try and edit it further.

I don't type this info to hear myself speak... I am trying to give players information that might be helpful? And usually do so just after having gone through the exact same issue with myself or friends in game. And think... "man I wish I had known that before doing it myself."

Some might not find it as helpful as they use other methods which might require more skill? I am simply trying to give information to those that are finding areas simply to forboding for them. The noob help maybe? (as I am a noob myself in many aspects of the game play)

On this particular issue of facing off against the Greatbowmen while trying to get my own said copy of weapon. I found that my first playthrough was daunting and took many failures to get by the archers here. When assisting a friend later we resolved that the "beat fire with fire" method was very effective and painless. I was not able to be summoned by him (due to SL separation) to use my bow and so did our Weapon Loan method and he used the weapon himself to easily defeat the archers.

Thus not a normal solo strategy but a very effective method for those that multiplay more in helping then PvPing.

Again, if you want to help me reword it then grat. but I want to give players some info that might better help them as I knew it would have helped me and greatly helped my new friend. :)
