How do you manually aim firebombs/dung pies etc?

[Holding These Alligators Down]

I watched a video on Youtube showing someone manually throwing/fine aiming dung pies but i can't figure out how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I don't think you can aim them properly, you just have to lock on.

They were throwing them in first person, there was a crosshair like when you are shooting arrows.

you need to use the camera to aim, with training you'll throw itens very fast.

An easy way is use the bow to aim, then switch out of aiming mode and throw the bomb/pie/whatever. :D

Ahh ok, i'll try the bow method. I'm trying to throw dung pies over the Capra demon fog wall.

lol - I did it too. Just make sure that if you do it right, about 4-8 pies into it, you'll hopefully notice a healthbar appear and damage adding up

I just spent about 10,000 souls on dung pies but i couldn't hit the Capra demon over the wall. So i just went in and double hand spammed him.

All range attacks can be manually aimed. The attack will always go in the direction your character is facing so for horizontal aiming you actually need to adjust your characters facing. For vertical aiming it's based on your camera. The further up you tilt it, the higher you aim.
Here you can see lobos cheesing the Capra demon as part of his cheese all bosses run:

He is using firebombs rather than dungpies, but the principle is the same, they have the exact same arc.
This is an extremely useful thing to learn, especially for PvP. Aiming a great chaos fireball where your enemy will end up after their roll is incredibly satisfying! It's the only way you'll ever make some spells viable in pvp.

If you are trying to use it to cheese Capra, using a bow or the binoculars to aim it helps a lot. On a side note, you can use the binoculars to manually aim the crossbows, basically letting you use a crossbow like a bow. Just aim with the binocs, zoom out, fire.
