The Golem Greatbow is a Greatbow in Elden Ring. It has the highest physical attack of any greatbow in the game. It can be picked up early in a run.

The Golem Greatbow is a greatbow of black stone crafted by a civilization now gone to ruin, the weapon of the Guardian Golems, so heavy that it requires enormous strength just to draw and seems not to have been designed for human use. It drops from Golem archers, such as the one on the Limgrave Tower Bridge in Stormhill, the pair on the path to the colosseum reached through Deep Siofra Well, and the one beside the top of the Grand Lift of Dectus. It deals high physical damage and can fire Radahn's Spears, which hit harder when a Lion Greatbow is held in the other hand. It scales with Strength at D and Dexterity at E, needs 24 Strength and weighs 14.5. It suits a Strength build that wants a heavy ranged option for large enemies.

Stats

The Golem Greatbow is the hardest-hitting greatbow at 130 physical at +0, the strongest of the whole bow family, and it reaches 318 at maximum. It is the heaviest greatbow at 14.5, but two-handing eases its Strength demand, and Guardian Golems that wield it drop it at a 10% rate, so a Strength build can carry it early.

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."

Notes

"Greatbow of black stone crafted by a civilization now gone to ruin. Weapon of the Guardian Golem. Extremely heavy, this greatbow requires enormous strength just to draw, suggesting it was not designed for human use."
