      I had ironically found a good use for this on an old character i had, when i first started playing dark souls... I just couldn't beat Manus, and sniping him with bows was out (I idiotically sold all my bows to Frampt! I was new then, so forgive me for seeming dumb).

      This was my only upgraded weapon, i had turned to 14 before going through a brief 'i hate all ranged weapons'-phase.... desperate to kill that abyssal jackass after finding out i could hit him from outside his arena, i used this weapon i foolishly upgraded in my naivety along with my trunk full of crossbows, after blind-firing on him, i managed to line up consistent hits and whittle him down to 0. Took a long time, but saved me a headache... so, least it came in handy for me, once, out of the zillion times it'd failed me before.

      Would i use the crossbow again, though? Heck no! ... but it was truly all i had for that moment. Now, i either head-to-head fight with that dark-repelling pendant in a quickslot, or just snipe him with a pharis bow, or greatarrow bow.

          I upgraded one of these and used it to snipe Manus. The good news is that a +11 sniper crossbow dig more damage to Manus from the ledge than my +12 light crossbow. The bad news: everything else. This weapon sucks.

              Shortbow: - Has no scope - Can aim Sniper crossbow: - Has scope - Cannot aim For how genius a lot of the choices in this game are, From can be really stupid sometimes.

              • Anonymous

                I have a suspicion that a lot of these weapons come down to the Chosen Undead's lack of skill. Just like the Anor Londo Firekeeper's ability to block with her Parrying Dagger; some proficient character in-universe can properly snipe with this thing. The Chosen Undead cannot.
