The Horn Bow is a Bow in Elden Ring. It becomes available partway through a run, in the Siofra River.

The Horn Bow is a longbow made from animal horn and wielded by the master hunters of the ancestral followers. It lies on a corpse under the stairs to the Hallowhorn Grounds near the Siofra River Bank grace. It imbues fired arrows with magic damage; with magic arrows it deals more magic and less physical damage than other bows, and because physical and magic defenses apply separately, this works out as a damage bonus. It scales with Strength at E, Dexterity at D and Intelligence at E, accepts Ashes of War, and gains considerably from magic boosts such as Terra Magica and the Magic Scorpion Charm.

Skill

Mighty Shot costs 6 FP. The wielder takes an oblique archery stance, then draws the bowstring to its limit for a single powerful shot. Each arrow hits harder and flies farther than a normal shot and partly pierces through a raised guard, which also stretches out a supply of rare or status arrows. Stamina recovers much more slowly while the stance is held.

"Archery skill performed from an oblique stance. Ready the bow, then pull the bowstring to its limit to enhance the power of the shot, penetrating the enemy's guard."
