Pulley Crossbow

SlashSomber Smithing Stone—Unique skill

Crossbow made with pulleys and power springs. The complex mechanism, which required advanced mathematical and mechanical understanding to craft, was likely made by a certain genius who learned Golden Order fundamentalism. One touch fires a volley of bolts. Be warned; large stores of bolts can be quickly spent.

In-game description

Crossbow made with pulleys and power springs. The complex mechanism, which required advanced mathematical and mechanical understanding to craft, was likely made by a certain genius who learned Golden Order fundamentalism.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationCraftsman's Shack

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: Craftsman's Shack

  1. Reach Altus Plateau and ride north from Erdtree-Gazing Hill through Wyndham Ruins. Enter the valley beside Mt. Gelmir at Seethewater River and follow it north, then around the mountain to Seethewater Terminus.
  2. From Seethewater Terminus, pass south of Fort Laiedd toward the lava lake. Follow its edge past the Magma Wyrm rather than crossing the lava; the boss can be avoided.
  3. Continue along the southern mountain path past the bears and Hermit's Shack, then follow the path east to Craftsman's Shack. Activate its grace.
  4. Loot the corpse on the wooden platform beside the shack for Pulley Crossbow. Hermit Village and Demi-Human Queen Maggie lie farther along and are unnecessary.

Notes

  • It fires a three-bolt volley. A single trigger pull uses more than one bolt, so its useful burst fire also empties an ammunition stack faster than a one-bolt crossbow.
  • The crossbow has no attribute damage scaling. Its 16 Strength and 16 Dexterity are requirements, not a reason to keep leveling those attributes for extra crossbow damage.
  • Status bolts can apply their own effects, but the crossbow does not add bleeding, poison or rot by itself. At longer range, bolts that miss contribute neither their damage nor their status buildup.
  • Kick is fixed. You cannot change its affinity, replace the skill with another Ash of War, or apply grease or a weapon enchantment.
  • Upgrade it with Somber Smithing Stones, up to +10.
  • Each normal firing sequence consumes three bolts when enough ammunition remains. The volley works one-handed and spends no FP; it is part of the crossbow's normal firing behavior, not the Kick skill.
  • A volley can land several applications of Sleep, Blood Loss, Poison, Scarlet Rot or Frostbite when the loaded bolts carry that ailment. It does not bypass an enemy's immunity or guarantee every bolt will connect.
  • Its bolts rise somewhat above the point where you aim. Make a test shot and adjust the camera at the distance you are using rather than assuming all three follow a single flat path.
  • The crossbow weighs four and has 42 listed range. Craftsman's Shack is on the lower route around Mt. Gelmir, separate from the pulley bow pickup on the high siege tower.
