The Erdtree Greatbow is a Greatbow in Elden Ring. Players can grab it early, in the Fringefolk Hero's Grave.

The Erdtree Greatbow is a greatbow featuring Erdtree styling, created in times of old, when faith and battle went hand in hand, in tandem with the Golden Great Arrow. It is the reward for destroying the Merciless Chariot in the Fringefolk Hero's Grave in Limgrave, which takes two Stonesword Keys to open, by shooting the rope that drops explosive jars onto the chariot. It scales all arrow damage with Faith, adding holy damage, and deals 20% more damage with Golden Great Arrows. Like all greatbows it is fired two-handed, so only two thirds of its Strength requirement is needed, and it fires only great arrows with great force to break enemy stance. It suits a Faith build that wants heavy ranged holy damage.

Stats


The Erdtree Greatbow is the only holy greatbow, splitting 60 physical and 65 holy at +0 with D Faith scaling. It is a damage type answer rather than a damage upgrade, useful against enemies that shrug off physical hits, and it can be earned within the first hour, which gives an early archer stance damage at range.

  • Received upon destroying the Merciless Chariot within the Fringefolk Hero's Grave in Limgrave.
  • A ranged weapon must be used to shoot a wire, causing explosive great jars to drop.

Skill


Through and Through costs 0 / 9 / 9 FP. The wielder takes an oblique stance with the greatbow, then twists the bowstring to fire a mighty great arrow that pierces through every enemy in its path. The shot hits harder than a normal one and costs FP each time, which makes it ideal for corridors or enemies lined up together.

"Powerful archery skill using a greatbow held in an oblique stance. Ready the greatbow, then twist the bowstring to fire a mighty greatarrow that can penetrate through enemies."

Suggested Build


A Faith ranged weapon that keeps distance and fires holy-infused great arrows, ideally Golden Great Arrows, to wear down and stagger large enemies.

Stats Faith to 60, then 70 to 80, Vigor 50, Mind 30, Endurance 30, with Strength 14 and Dexterity 14 to draw it
Affinity Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans Arrow's Sting Talisman, Arrow's Reach Talisman, Sacred Scorpion Charm
Pairs With Golden Great Arrow

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."
