Avelyn is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

 




An extremely rare rapid-firing crossbow.

Fire three successive bolts. Inflict heavy damage by making all three shots count.

Fiorenza, the richest merchant in all of Volgen recreated this lost weapon after reading of it in an old book.

Acquired From

  • An illusory wall in the Undead Crypt. In the room where you are invaded by Nameless Usurper, turn right and interact with the wall. The wall will move, revealing a hidden room with two transparent warriors and a chest. Within that chest is the Avelyn. (Using a Bonfire Ascetic will not respawn this item)
  • Dropped by either Belfry Sol dual-Avelyn wielding grey phantom or Bowman Guthry.

 

Hints and Tips:

  • It can inflict high elemental damage by enchanting it with fire, lightning dark etc and then using the corresponding bolts.
  • Dual-wielding Avelyns requires the player to be mindful of stamina consumption and reload time. A poorly planned shot can render you helpless. As with any bow or crossbow, make sure to time your shots well, keep your distance, and be wise with your stamina consumption.
  • You can cancel the aiming of any crossbow and attack instead with the weapon held in your other hand by pressing (Y/Triangle) and immediately following it up with a light or heavy attack.
  • Since it is found in a metal chest, bonfire ascetics when used on the second bonfire of the undead crypt will not reset the chest the Avelyn is in.

      join company of champions,go to doors of pharros, ordeals end bonfire, go out and left from the entry point and bowman guthry should invade you who is located at the bottom water area. Bring a good ranged weapon, item discovery boosting stuff and you can get his avelyn eventually. Im not sure how good is the drop rate though, so use this location at your own risk

        Doing a spell sword run and I like to have a number of weapons, melee or ranged to swap to and from. Would it be better to infuse with Enchanted or should I go Magic?

          It seems that in SOTFS dual Avelyns deal miserable damage when power-stanced. Total damage after firing 2 Avelyins at once was only 20% higher than firing single Avelyn. I was very disappointed because it took an hour to farm second Avelyn from Bowman Guthry using Bonfire Ascetic at the Ordeal's End Bonfire. It seems that huge damage reduction applies to all power-stanced crossbows.

            Do buffs like Ring of Blades and Sacred Oath buff EVERY shot? meaning the bonus of 100 damage (50 of ROB+2 , 50 of Sacred Oath) is applied three times? or how does this work?

              "In the room where you are invaded by Nameless Usurper, turn right and interact with the wall" tells me nothing. Can someone update this?
