The Pulley Bow is a Bow in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find on Mt. Gelmir.

The Pulley Bow is a longbow that uses a series of pulleys and strings, a complex mechanism likely made by a certain genius who learned Golden Order Fundamentalism. It lies on a seated corpse at the top of a siege tower at the Mt. Gelmir campsite, north of the Gelmir Hero's Grave grace. The mechanism enhances precision and sends arrows much further, giving it the best range in its class. With low requirements and Strength and Dexterity scaling at D, it consistently outdamaged the Longbow and Albinauric Bow when tested at 40 Strength and 40 Dexterity.

Stats

The Pulley Bow has the longest range of any bow at 55 against 50 for the rest of its class, and it is the only bow with D Strength and D Dexterity scaling, on even requirements. At 5.0 it is the heaviest bow, but for a quality build that wants to snipe from the farthest possible distance it is the natural pick.

Skill

Mighty Shot costs 0 / 6 / 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."

Suggested Build

A ledge sniper's bow, fired from high ground at long range and stacked with bow-boosting talismans.

Stats	Strength and Dexterity split evenly, around 40 each and up to 55 each, Vigor 40 to 60, Endurance about 24
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Arrow's Sting Talisman, Arrow's Reach Talisman, Ritual Sword Talisman

Notes

"Longbow which utilizes a series of pulleys and strings. The complex mechanism, which required advanced mathematical and mechanical understanding to craft, was likely made by a certain genius who learned Golden Order fundamentalism. Enhances precision while shooting, enabling arrows to fly much further distances."
