Where to find

Map pending
LocationBelurat, Tower Settlement

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Small Private Altar

Before you go

  • To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
  • Access the Realm of Shadow and reach Small Private Altar inside Belurat.
  1. To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
  2. From Three-Path Cross, follow the western route through the rocky passage to Main Gate Cross outside Belurat.
  3. Climb the entrance stairs and open the large doors. Pass the giant scorpions and the room of smaller scorpions, then continue upstairs to Belurat, Tower Settlement grace.
  4. The large doors ahead are shut. Take the path right into the small square with the waterfall, then turn left toward the elevated bridge where shadow casters fire down at you.
  5. Pass beneath the elevated bridge and enter the open doorway on the left. Clear the shadow enemies and climb the building's stairs to Small Private Altar grace.
  6. Leave through the northern doorway and climb the stairs on the right. The Horned Warrior with two curved swords patrols just above the grace.
  7. Past the patrolling Horned Warrior, take the narrow alley on the right to get around the broken bridge. Watch the corners for shadow enemies and continue toward the shallow channel at the top of the waterfall.
  8. Enter the room beside the channel and climb its ladder. The corpse at the top holds Storeroom Key. For the boss, leave through the upper doorway and take the stairs on the right.
  9. From the room where Storeroom Key is found, take the upper exit and go up to the right toward the Gravebird rooftops. Take the left branch toward the shortcut lift instead of continuing toward Stagefront.
  10. Enter the room near the lift with the glowing corpse at its back. Two large Spider-Scorpions drop from above, with smaller ones nearby; draw them away from the corpse first.
  11. Loot Bone Bow from the body. Divine Beast Dancing Lion and Hornsent Grandam's rewards are unnecessary for this pickup.

Notes

  • Dexterity gives more physical scaling than Strength. Intelligence and Faith do not improve the bow merely because its skill invokes spirits.
  • Rancor Shot costs 3 FP per arrow and makes repeated shots track the locked-on target. The guidance helps against movement but cannot guarantee a hit through cover or sharp evasive movement.
  • The powered skill arrow applies 75% of the ammunition's normal status buildup per hit. Rapid hits can still build a meter quickly, but each is not a full ordinary-arrow application.
  • Running out of FP makes the skill shot much weaker, including its status buildup. Switch to ordinary shots or restore FP rather than treating the empty-FP skill as equally effective tracking fire.
  • Despite its fixed skill, it uses ordinary Smithing Stones to +25. A unique skill does not automatically make a weapon a Somber upgrade.
  • Rancor Shot is fixed and cannot be replaced with another Ash of War.
  • Upgrade with Smithing Stones to +25.
  • Grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied. Choose the ammunition for added elemental damage or status buildup; this bow has no Arcane scaling to increase the arrows' status buildup.
  • Uses arrows, rather than bolts or greatarrows. Equip up to two arrow types in the ammunition slots and use the corresponding firing input to choose between them.
  • Requires 8 Strength and 11 Dexterity. Weighs 3. Ordinary shots spend stamina and ammunition; the skill also needs its listed FP.
