Well fire arrows are pretty bad, but switch that to same arrow as the Draug (say, Neddle) and over time Crude bow will be pretty close to Draug in damage (like 10% less or so). Crudes aim is wonky, but Flint bow is seriously good sidearm through whole game.


@OP
Silly facts aside, i'd leave this thread alone if not for complete lack of note that meleeing Moder can be great too (on par or easier than Elder). Especially if ones Bow skill levels are low.
With Moders non-resistance to pierce, fang spear is real nice. Her attacks are predictable and Spear has great reaction time due to fast stabs, and has pretty good upwards reach.

The first few times i did it with bows too, but nowadays melee is just faster/easier.

But for bow: neddle, poison or obsidian arrows. Instead of trying to shoot when possible run around a bit, find a good spot and then resume. And i dont mean good shooting spot, but a spot where she will have trouble attacking you and will try to land in difficult places for her. Then she can derp out becoming very easy target. Swamp might actually not be half bad for that.
