The Pulley Crossbow is a Crossbow in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Mid game. It is found around Mt. Gelmir, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Why Players Pick It

Fires three bolts per trigger pull with a slight spread, which is why its per-bolt figure is the lowest in the class, 146 at Somber +10 versus 308 for the Arbalest. Read as three-bolts-per-shot it is the status applicator of the class: triple buildup per press with Bloodbone, Burred, Sleepbone or Rotbone bolts. Two real caveats from the same page: it fires with an unusually large upward pitch so you must aim low at mid-range, and it burns ammunition three times as fast. 16 Str / 16 Dex, 4.0 weight, Craftsman's Shack in Mt.

Upgrades

Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.

Build

It scales with nothing, so the Str 16 and Dex 16 it asks for is all the investment it wants. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling.

Notes

Crossbow made with pulleys and power springs. The complex mechanism, which required advanced mathematical and mechanical understanding to craft, was likely made by a certain genius who learned Golden Order fundamentalism. One touch fires a volley of bolts. Be warned; large stores of bolts can be quickly spent.
