Pulley Bow | Elden Ring Wiki

Those strings looks painful to pull

Submit

I always upgrade this bow to use with any melee build, because sometimes I like to hide on a ledge like a coward and kill an area boss with 73 arrows

Submit

I lever 131 build
Stats: 55 STRENGTH + 55 DEXTERITY ( have GODRICK'S GREAT RUNE)
WEAPON: PULLEY BOW + Dragon Communion Seal.
TALISMANS: SHARD OF ALEXANDER, RITUAL SWORD TALISMAN, ARROW'S STING TALISMAN, BLUE DANCER CHARM
ARMOR: I don't like nude. I use PRECEPTOR'S LONG GOWN (ALTERED) + PRISONER TROUSERS ( 3.2 + 2.0 = 5.2 Equip Load)
Phy if use BONE ARROW (FLETCHED) = 500.
If use buff: GOLDEN VOW + FLAME GRANT ME STRENGTH = 700.
I use Mighty Shot shot the Troll head more than 2000 damage.

Submit

this should have a super version of mighty shot, maybe one that has 0 dropoff whatsoever

Pulley bow has 309 total AR with 50 str+50 dex. Albinauric bow has 308 total AR with 20 str+80 dex. Ofcourse pulley bow has the extra range, both bows are viable depending on your build. A bow build should be complimented with blue dancer charm, arrow sting talisman, ritual sword talisman, and the spear talisman. For even higher optimisation, wielding radahn's great bow (I think its called lion great bow) in your offhand for the 20% radahn spear bonus damage, with golem great bow in your main hand as the damage dealer is the way to go. Swap Blue dancer charm for alexander/warrior jar shard. Matched with rallying standard buff+your choice of body buff - exalted flesh or bkoodboil aromatic, even FGS if you want the 15 faith for support incants. I was doing this at 50 str+50 dex, but the softcap for str on golem great bow is higher than 50, so perhaps use the str crystal tear in wondrous physick. I hope this helps someone, just done a bow playthrough was lots of fun! -Pharris Hood

So weird this take somber stones when most weapons that do are magic or special in some way. I get it has longer range but like that hardly feels like a justification for it needing somber. Not a big deal just strange

Submit

according to the AR calculator (google it), the Pulley Bow +10 has 48.6 scaling in both strength and dexterity, while the longbow has 30 strength scaling and 39 dex scaling. These values are all considered “D” scaling but you can see why the Pulley Bow outscales the Longbow in spite of lower base damage.

Submit

I do wish all bows did more damage. Theres not much of a point having the longest range in the game if youre not gonna be killing what youre hitting.

Submit

How does this out damage the longbow when it less base damage and the same D scaling??

Submit

The mighty shot is so scuffed with this weapon. It's a compound bow yet you can see the frame itself bend to an uncomfortable angle when you pull it the full length of the arrow.

Submit

So I run a quality Paladin, and I have like 80 Faith and Dex and 65 Str. I tried comparing Erdtree and Pulley Bow. Pulley bow is only a little bit behind Erdtree, even with comparing the Golden arrow on the Erdtree and fire arrow on the pulley. Against a target with any holy resistance, Pulley bow outperforms quite a bit despite my heavy investment in Faith. So I shall be using pulley bow now. It also matches my Radahn Armor/Malenia helm better. :) Fashion ring.

This bow is Awesome Possum! Only downside is that you cannot change the Ash of War. :(

Submit

Bow with intricate, complicated design.


Only has irreplacable Mighty shot as the weapon art.

Ok-

Submit

I like how it looks like a compound bow in archaic design.

Submit

So, this bow is stronger than Albinauric Bow in terms of long range engagement? I don't quite understand the damage drop-off in this game, so any idea about this? Should I level Albinauric or this one?

Submit

Are somber-upgradable bows/crossbows good for a RL1 run or shall I stick to more classic weapons like the serpent-hunter? Thanks in advance!

Submit

Strength, quality or dextery build, this bow is the best option for both mid ranged combat and sniping.

Submit

If you are a ledge sniper like me, this bow is the best to use, especially with Arrow talismans.

Submit

This bow should NOT have more range than great bows. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a nerf, but I would like to see great bows buffed to have like 70-80 range

Submit

This seems to be the strongest normal bow.
Tested with 40 strength, 40 dex, and various combinations of stats. The Pulley outperformed the Longbow and the Albuirnac (probably misspelled) Bow consistently, in terms of damage. Also, has the lowest requirements, and the best range.

Seems like no contest.

Submit

so this or black bow for pvp? black bow seems like it has a way better moveset and if I wanted to harass people at range I'd just use a greatbow

Submit

Didnt realize it was taking somber stones and upgraded to +8 without thinking. So long golem greatbow, it's been real.

Submit

This thing chews through arrows. Went through 90 arrows in 5 minutes. Time to pay attention to how many arrows per shot are ticking off

Submit

Time to go dragon hunting again.

Submit

A better grace to start from is First Mt. Gelmir Campsite

Submit

A quality build's best friend when you lack spells. Outperforms the Longbow due to better scaling. Doing around 320 damage at 50 str and dex. The 10% extra range is just a neat bonus.
Plus it just looks cool.

Submit

a fricking compound bow

Submit

The Arrow's Reach Talisman seems to add significant distance to arrows, but using this bow does not. Very disappointing given that it says "much further distances".

Submit

Yeah it's definitely not on a drawbride. Can I edit this ****?

Submit

+10 : Str D \ Dex D \ Phy Dam 188

Submit

can't be infused with ashes of war.

Submit

Oh great, looks like some time traveler left their compound bow from cabellas in the 1400s.

Submit

Its at the top of the siege tower by the first mt gelmir campsite

Pully bow is sombering smithing stones
