I got the Golem Greatbow on the first Golem that I killed in Weeping Peninsula. It actually dropped for my strength character, which was perfect because I wanted to use a greatbow with her but didn't know which one to choose.
For the Erdtree Greatbow, if you use the crosshairs to aim at the string and fire when the screen shakes because the chariot slammed into the wall below you, the middle pot will land on the chariot. At least, that has worked for me. It's not like I tested it a dozen times. TBH the greatbows are tempting me to do a quality/faith playthrough. The erdtree greatbow is easy to get for when you have the stats to use it. Great arrows will be a pain, of course, although merchants sell them not too far into the game. I think the most annoying thing would be that you can only carry 30 arrows of each type.
Yeah, I've always found the 30 arrow limit to be a little annoying, otherwise I'd use these a lot more. For me, they are very niche. Could be what the devs intended anyways but I'd like to be able to use them more without that 30 arrow inconvenience.
That is the worst thing about greatbows. It does get decently easy to keep yourself stocked up on them, but the fact that you can only carry 30 is very annoying.
@@Dare_To_Game I wonder if they'll make some updates to bows in the future. I loved the changes to colossal weapons so hopefully they might also make some changes with bows too.
Yes, that is true. I have on ly just recently found that ash of war in one of my playthroughs. I have yet to try putting it on any weapon, but i wonder if i could put it on my favorite longbow.
@max omalley Yeah, it's called rain of arrows, & i believe i found it in caelid near one of the minor erdtrees. Just gotta do some tricky climbing down to where a resting golem is. If you wake him up, there's a rune arc under him. However, he's a... special golem.
I wish great bows had more range, like 60. I understand you're doing more damage, but they have a very long wind up between shots. You could decrease the speed of projectile to compensate to make them mainly artillery pieces on stationery targets, and force freeaim by the user on moving targets.
I’m still struggling to get this to drop at fort Gail. However if you have a decent bow I’ve discovered an easy way to kill the knight holding it. Just run up to him using Torrent. If you kill him and it drops first time great BUT if you die you can choose to respawn (behind him) at the nearby statue of Marika. Sneak up behind him and spam him with mighty shot. He will for the most part just stand there and let you kill him. Stay nearby and die and repeat until you get the bow.
Baba, you gotta say there’s a banish not right when you get up to lift, he chopped my head off soon as I got up there killed me I had to do it all over again come on man
Oh my fucking god this was the most annoying thing ever. They purposefully put things that will instantly kill you at every turn so you would have to run it over and over. Such bullshit.

The greatbows are another weapon category that i just havent used enough.
Yeah, until you really start getting into archery in this game, there isn't much reason to.

You can put the ash of war from the lion greatbow on most other bows, you just need to find it first.
Yes, that is true. I have on ly just recently found that ash of war in one of my playthroughs. I have yet to try putting it on any weapon, but i wonder if i could put it on my favorite longbow.

What armor are you wearing here? 8:25
Awesome greatbow video. very useful and convenient guide.
Glad you think so!
Great video. Thank you for doing these bow videos. I want to try being an archer and they have been very useful.
Glad you like them! Hopefully your attempts at an archer build are more successful than mine.
Oof, I forgot to dupe Radahn's remembrance, but I at least got other options.
It was worth it for the swords.
The radahn knight at Fort Gael wields a straight sword when he fights you in melee. It can be looted like the greatbow?

can you do a video of the bottom 4 greatbows
Very helpful Elden Ring videos. I Discovered your channel from your Parry This channel!
Glad you like them! Cool to see people discovering me from my lesser known channel.
If the greatbow is the only one that can uses skills pretty much makes it the easiest choice. Gonna hunt for that one.
Oh gosh thank you so much
Well done 🔥

Golem bow is probably the best but I guess you can use the others. Depends on how they choose to use it
