In-game description

Greatbow of black stone crafted by a civilization now gone to ruin. Weapon of the Guardian Golem.

Extremely heavy, this greatbow requires enormous strength just to draw, suggesting it was not designed for human use.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationBridge to Divine Tower of Limgrave

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Limgrave Tower Bridge

Before you go

  • Reach the tower bridge through Stormveil Castle.
  1. Inside Stormveil, return to the main gate courtyard and take the eastern route into the large building guarded by the blade-wielding lion. Activate Limgrave Tower Bridge inside.
  2. Go out onto the bridge past the two halberd Golems. The greatbow Golem stands farther along before the broken section. Use the bridge pillars to cover your approach from its shots.
  3. Close in on the archer and attack its ankles, watching for its stomps. Defeat it and check the loot for the five-arrow bundle.
  4. Rest at Limgrave Tower Bridge and repeat if needed. You do not need to use the sending gate, defeat Godrick or restore his Great Rune to farm the bridge archer.

Notes

  • Requires 24 Strength and 18 Dexterity and weighs 14.5. It fires with both hands, so 16 actual Strength meets the Strength requirement; Dexterity still needs to reach 18.
  • Physical damage mainly scales with Strength, with weaker Dexterity scaling. The stone construction does not give it Intelligence or Arcane scaling.
  • Uses Great Arrows, including both Golem ammunition types. It does not need its matching arrows to fire, and has no separate matching-ammunition damage bonus.
  • Its fixed Through and Through skill costs nine FP per shot. Hold the skill input to ready it, then use a light or heavy attack to fire from the corresponding ammunition slot.
  • The skill can pierce through enemies lined up behind one another. A clear line is still useful; the piercing property is not a promise that shots ignore solid scenery.
  • Upgrades with Somber Smithing Stones to +10. The skill and affinity cannot be changed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
  • The weapon is a random drop from eligible greatbow Golems. Ordinary Great Arrows and Golem's Great Arrows are separate drops, so an ammunition bundle does not guarantee the bow.
  • A halberd Golem drops a different weapon. Farm the archer at the far end of Limgrave Tower Bridge and rest at the nearby grace between attempts.
