The Bone Bow is a Light Bow in Elden Ring. It is part of Shadow of the Erdtree, found in Belurat, Tower Settlement.

The Bone Bow is a crude shortbow fashioned from sickly bone, a medium for spirit-calling born of the ancient hexing arts of the tower. It lies on a corpse inside the great tower with the broken spiral staircase in Belurat, Tower Settlement, guarded by Large Spider Scorpions and their brood. It is a fast light bow, and its unique skill, Rancor Shot, imbues arrows with vengeful spirits that add magic damage, fire more quickly and aggressively chase their targets. Each imbued arrow costs 3 FP and 9 stamina, and the homing makes it handy against enemies that dodge on reading a projectile. With low requirements of 8 Strength and 11 Dexterity and 3 weight, it suits any build that wants a homing ranged sidearm.

Stats

The Bone Bow is the light bow from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and the only one carrying Rancor Shot instead of Barrage or Mighty Shot. With 66 physical at +0, among the best in its class, it gives a light-bow build a different skill without giving up much base attack.

How to Get Bone Bow Guide

It is found on a corpse in the Upper Residential Ward of Belurat, Tower Settlement. From the Belurat, Tower Settlement Site of Grace, turn left and ascend the elevator shortcut, then turn left again to enter the bottom of the spiral staircase tower. The bow is on the other side of the room, guarded by numerous Baby Spider Scorpions and two Large Spider Scorpions.

Skill

Rancor Shot costs 0 / 3 / 3 FP. The wielder turns sideways into a horizontal archery stance, then fires arrows imbued with vengeful spirits in rapid succession with each attack input. Each arrow veers outward and then homes in on the target, costing a little FP per shot. Movement slows and stamina recovers much more slowly while the stance is held. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"Imbue arrows with vengeful spirits, before firing off a barrage. Imbued arrows chase down foes as they cut through the air."

Suggested Build

Carried as a ranged sidearm: Rancor Shot sends homing magic arrows at foes that sidestep normal shots or sit out of melee reach.

Stats	Strength 8 and Dexterity 11 to wield it, with the remaining points following the main weapon's build
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Arrow's Sting Talisman, Arrow's Reach Talisman

Notes

"A crude shortbow fashioned from sickly bone. A medium for spirit-calling, and a product of the ancient hexing arts of the tower."
