Igon's Greatbow is a Greatbow in Elden Ring. It comes from Shadow of the Erdtree and is found in Jagged Peak.

Igon's Greatbow is the weapon of Igon, the broken drake warrior, a greatbow fashioned from two dragon bones bound with coarse rope and covered in gashes left by claws. It is the reward for completing Igon's questline: after he is summoned against Bayle the Dread, his gear is left at his former spot southeast of the Foot of the Jagged Peak. Imbued with Igon's obsession, it raises the power of Igon's Harpoon by 15%, great arrows that deal extra damage to dragons. It comes with Igon's Drake Hunt, a much stronger version of Through and Through, if the two Jagged Peak Drakes have been defeated, and it can take that, Through and Through or Rain of Arrows. It scales with Strength at D, needs 23 Strength, and suits a Strength build that hunts dragons.

Stats


Igon's Greatbow is the most flexible greatbow. Its D Strength scaling climbs to C as it is upgraded, the only greatbow to reach that grade, and it accepts Through and Through, Rain of Arrows or Igon's Drake Hunt. Igon's Harpoon great arrows gain 15% power from it, which makes it a strong dragon-hunting tool.

How to Get Igon's Greatbow Guide


It lies on Igon's body at the Foot of the Jagged Peak after Bayle the Dread is defeated, and it also drops if Igon is killed.

  1. Talk to Igon near the Pillar Path Waypoint Site of Grace in the Gravesite Plain until he repeats himself.
  2. Travel to the Jagged Peak and defeat the Jagged Peak Drakes.
  3. Talk to Igon at the Foot of the Jagged Peak to receive Igon's Furled Finger.
  4. Defeat Bayle the Dread at the top of the Jagged Peak, with Igon summoned if wanted.
  5. Return to Igon's spot at the Foot of the Jagged Peak and loot the greatbow from his body.

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 dragon-hunting greatbow that fires Igon's Harpoons from range and spends FP on Igon's Drake Hunt for heavy single shots.

Stats Strength to 54, which reaches the 80 soft cap when two-handed, Vigor 50 to 60, Endurance 40, Mind 15 to 20, Dexterity at its requirement of 16
Affinity Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans Arrow's Sting Talisman, Arrow's Reach Talisman
Pairs With Igon's Harpoon

Notes


"Weapon of Igon, the broken drake warrior. A greatbow fashioned from two dragon bones bound with coarse rope. Covered in gashes left by claws. Imbued with Igon's obsession, enhancing the power of Igon's Harpoon."
