First bow introduction

Lands Between

1. Obtain and equip a bow during early exploration. Starting as a Samurai gives you a Longbow immediately.
2. Read the bow tutorial when the bow controls are introduced; it is added automatically rather than sold separately.

Notes

• Equip the bow and suitable arrows before firing. The two ammunition slots let you choose between two arrow types without opening the equipment menu each time.
• Use the bow with both hands and hold the aiming control for a closer view. Precision aiming helps with distant targets and headshots; lock-on is more convenient when an enemy is moving nearby.
• Bows, greatbows, crossbows and ballistas use different ammunition families. Equipping bolts does not supply arrows for a Longbow.
• A normal shot spends ammunition and stamina. A bow skill can also spend FP, so carrying arrows alone does not guarantee every skill is available.
