The Erdtree Greatbow is a Greatbow in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Early game. It is found around Fringefolk Hero's Grave, in the opening stretch of a run, so it is one of the first real upgrades you can carry.

Why Players Pick It

The only holy greatbow: 60 physical + 65 holy at +0, 147 + 159 at max with D Faith. Half the physical of the class leader, so it is a damage-type answer rather than a damage upgrade. Reqs 20 Str / 14 Dex / 14 Fai. Obtained by destroying the Merciless Chariot in Fringefolk Hero's Grave, which puts it in reach in the first hour if you know the trick.

Upgrades

Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at E, Dex at E and Fai at D, so Fai is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 20, Dex 14 and Fai 14 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling.

Notes

Greatbow featuring Erdtree styling. In times of old, when faith and battle went hand in hand, this weapon was created in tandem with the Golden Great Arrow. Scales all arrow damage with faith, revealing its true worth when used with holy-infused arrows.
