Where to find

Map pending
LocationBelow the southern Hallowhorn Grounds stairs

Siofra River

Starting Site of Grace: Siofra River Bank

Before you go

  • Reach Siofra River's lower riverbank.
  1. In eastern Limgrave, follow the Mistwood road to the large circular Siofra River Well building north of the Minor Erdtree. Enter and ride its long lift down to Siofra River Well Depths grace.
  2. Follow the ruins northeast past the Claymen to the second lift. Ride up and follow the water out into the broad underground river region. Activate Siofra River Bank before approaching the large stone staircase to its east.
  3. From Siofra River Bank, head east toward the wide stone stairs leading up to Hallowhorn Grounds and the large horned corpse.
  4. Search beneath the stairs and bridge supports instead of climbing to the arena. Collect Horn Bow from the corpse in the recessed lower section.
  5. This is the southern Hallowhorn Grounds in the lower river area, not the Regal Ancestor Spirit's grounds in Nokron.

Notes

  • Requires 10 Strength, 14 Dexterity and 12 Intelligence and weighs 4.5. Physical damage scales a little more strongly with Dexterity than Strength. Intelligence improves magic damage, but its scaling is weak and remains E even at +25.
  • It adds its own magic damage to fired arrows. Magic ammunition such as Dwelling Arrows, Magicbone Arrows and Spiritflame Arrows combines with that magic portion before the enemy's defenses are applied.
  • Matching magic ammunition helps the magic portion get through defense more effectively. It is not a special guaranteed 20% bonus just for equipping Dwelling Arrows, and a magic-resistant target may still favor a different bow or ammunition.
  • Coldbone Arrows also supply magic damage and Frostbite, but raising Intelligence improves the damage rather than increasing their fixed Frostbite buildup. The bow itself has no innate Frostbite or Arcane status scaling.
  • Mighty Shot is its starting skill and costs 6 FP per shot. It consumes one selected arrow, and fully drawing it improves the hit rather than producing free magic ammunition.
  • Upgrade with Smithing Stones to +25. Can use compatible bow Ashes of War, but only Standard affinity. It cannot receive melee Magic or Cold affinities, grease or a weapon enchantment.
  • The corpse is beneath the southern Hallowhorn Grounds stairs in lower Siofra River. Lighting the eight braziers and defeating Ancestor Spirit are unnecessary; the six-brazier upper Nokron area is a different location.
