How to Get / Where to Find the Longbow

 




Notes

  • Give to Frampt to receive 50 souls.
  • This bow is classified as a Long bow. It fires slower than short bows.
  • The Long Bow is a larger version of the short bow, has slightly higher stat requirements to wield. Very useful for luring things out and killing strong foes from a safe distance.
  • Fun Fact: when you draw the bow the string does not actually get pulled back (xbox 360 confirmed ) (the bow is fully drawn in PTDE)
  • Demon's souls version: Different in apperance and has a range of 60 instead of 50.

      even unupgraded this thing is a godsend for dealing with the toxic blowdart guys in blighttown. just shoot the little creeps in the head from outside their aggro ring and profit

        Unable to upgrade the LongBow past +10.
        I'm at Andre, I've given him the Very Large Ember from New Londo Ruins.
        I went to Modify Equipment and still don't see the Longbow in the Standard Tab.

        I checked to make sure I didn't give it any other enhancements. I even upgraded another longbow that was brand new.
        None of my weapons seem to go past +10.

        They should be in the Modify option so I can choose an enhancement or standard.
        Is this a glitch?

          It's listed on wiki as A grade DEX scaling, but is S grade in-game. Is this a game or wiki side discrepency?

          • Anonymous

            I've also gotten the Longbow dropped off of the giant skeletons in Tomb of Giants, which isn't listed in the "How to get / Where to find" section.

              I have obtained all embers and all blacksmiths but somehow I cannot upgrade my Boy over +10. I want to upgrade to +15 regular. Anyone any ideas?

                • Anonymous

                  Probably a long shot at this time, but has anyone infused the bow with magic/fire/lightening/etc? is it any good? giving up the s scaling? does the arrow gain the property?
