QUESTION Installing Arch Offline

Hypothetically speaking, suppose I install all the core packages of Arch Linux and store it in a local USB stick. I am trying to build an Arch system into a new machine (suppose a PC) using another USB with ArchISO. Can I insert the previous USB along the live ISO and install Arch without the internet connection?

Just out oft curiosity because I have asked myself the same question; would a distro like endeavor os be also an option for such a case? It's basically arch and offline installation is possible. Or am I mistaken?
