Bone Bow is a Light Bow in Elden Ring. It is a brand new Light Bow in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Bone Bow scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for setting status effects and enemies who input read projectiles.
A crude shortbow fashioned from sickly bone. A medium for spirit-calling, and a product of the ancient hexing arts of the tower.

Best bow in the game, insane base range and rankor shot dosen't have a dmg penalty like barrage making it out dps other range weapons. Feels like a mage but with a bow.

AoW is basically barrage with homing arrows. Damage isn't great, but it's very good at quickly applying status quickly.

TBH I kinda like this bow. It is fast, low FP, low stamina. Can just shoot then run away.
Mainly use bloodbone arrow and another elemental arrow depending on what boss I am facing.

it's alright
the tracking arrows are nice, but if you want the shortbow moveset without having to deal shortbow damage just use the black bow of pharris

For people saying this bow is trash... It's not about the pure damage output, if you have a decent arcane level and serpent or blood arrows, you can make quick work of most enemies. I even messed around invading some groups in Belurat and it's amazing at homing in on light rollers and applying poison or bleed, even the damage itself is nice when the shots keep connecting. I wish we could apply the weapon art to other bows, but then that would just make people create a giga OP meta bow.
Oh and also it's upgraded with regular Smithing stones, not Somber ones.

An actually cool bow? I wonder if it's good!
it's not, btw. A short bow will only do short bow damage, regardless of homing

Fires the wretched souls of bow-only builders who've come before, only to die tragically while desperately menu-scrolling for more arrows.
Great Bow to use in PVE, especially while exploring and wanting to clear out enemies from distance. Pair it up with Blood arrows.

Very good bow
The weapon art is excellent in pve.
It's like if barrage had homing shots

Another bow that will be viable for an enemy but when you max it out you'll be disappointed by it and abandon it to your storage inventory, never to use it again. Can't wait

Likely scales with Int and or faith. The death sorceries mention hexes and vengeful spirits.

You could make the coolest bow ever with a skill that summons an army of the undead to guide your shot into heaven and pierce God's heart but if it doesn't have the light bow moveset people will instantly throw it in the trash.
Hopefully the description is hinting at it potentially having a unique AoW. Bows and Crossbows really got shafted, and it be nice to see both get some love.

At long last, trying to kill an ancient dragon no longer consists of standing under its legs and whacking away! With this new bow, just stand at a distance, put on the two arrow damage talismans and a shard of alexander, and just wallop away! Too many talisman slots, you say? Who cares! Half the dragons can't reach you with anything other than their flame breath and glaives, at that range! Try it today, dragon-away!
