Dragonslayer Greatbow is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

 

A greatbow said to be used to down ancient dragons flying high above the clouds.

Extremely large for a mere bow, and more destructive than any ranged weapon imaginable.

Shooting this bow requires the grounding of its stability anchor, which takes time and leaves the shooter vulnerable.

Also requires great arrows.

Hints & Tips

to upgrade

  • Must be re-anchored between shots, regardless of remaining stamina, which means this bow is much slower than the Alonne Greatbow - both on the initial shot as well as every subsequent shot.
  • The animation causes the shooter to take a short step back after every shot. Holding forward while in aimed mode between shots will counter this effect with a short step forward, but one should be careful near ledges one way or the other.
  • 121 Stamina is needed to fire a shot with this and have enough stamina left to immediately act (Roll, swing a sword, etc)

    This can be achieved at 15 Endurance with the Second Dragon Ring.

    In Dark Souls 2, if you try to attack with something that uses more stamina than you currently have, you'll attack more slowly and do less damage. That thankfully isn't the case with this bow. If you're at full stamina, you do full damage and attack at full speed.

      121 Stamina is needed to fire a shot with this and have enough stamina left to immediately act (Roll, swing a sword, etc)

      This can be achieved at 15 Endurance with the Second Dragon Ring.

      In Dark Souls 2, if you try to attack with something that uses more stamina than you currently have, you'll attack more slowly and do less damage. That thankfully isn't the case with this bow. If you're at full stamina, you do full damage and attack at full speed.

        Shrine of Amana? More like Shrine A-gone-a!

        Seriously though, this game is probably where bows are at their most useful. And this Bow is doubtlessly the best, with maybe Alonne/Bow of Want/Shield Crossbow being distant runners up. Does tons of damage, has easy stat reqs, you can hold 999 ammo in one slot. Also, the anchoring ordeal is no real issue. Everything in this game is slow as hell. As long as you're not getting in Sir Alonne/Fume Knight's face point blank to use it, you should be able to use it liberally. But man does it make the gankier areas of the game, minus Frigid Outskirts, a whole lot easier.
