In-Game Description

An extremely rare rapid-firing crossbow.

Fire three successive bolts. Inflict heavy
damage by making all 3 shots count.

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

Availability

Dark Souls 2 & Scholar of the First Sin:

• Undead Crypt treasure. From the Undead Ditch bonfire, head through the stone filled area until you reach an empty room
  with some Wall Warriors and invader Nameless Usurper. Examine the right-hand side of the room for a illusory wall
  that opens up to a small room with some more Wall Warriors and a metal chest that contains the weapon.
• Invader Bowman Guthry drop(uncommon)

General Information

Image	Damage	Counter Strength	Poise Damage	Shot Range	Stats Needed Stat Bonuses	Damage Reduction	Stability	Durability	Weight
	85/0/0/0/0 (Projectile/Strike)	100	10	35	25/15/0/0 -/-/-/-/-/-	0/0/0/0/0	10	40	6.0

Notes

• Firing the weapon with less than three bolts of your selected ammo type will still fire three shots of that type.

• A list of bolt types can be found here.

• Two-handing the weapon will let you aim from a first-person perspective just like a Bow.
  • Alternatively, you can also use the Binoculars to aim from a first-person perspective while one-handling the weapon.
    To do this, equip the Binoculars in one hand and the Avelyn in the other hand.
    Aim with the Binoculars first and then fire the bolt. The bolt will always hit where you're aiming, even if it drains more than your remaining stamina.
    (Note: Using this method does not make a reticule appear in the middle of the screen to help you aim.)

• It can only be power-stanced with a Sanctum Repeating Crossbow or another Avelyn.

• It is recommended that you infuse it with Raw, that is if you're not infusing it with anything else, due to the weapon having no stat scaling
  and gaining increased physical damage.

• Like all Crossbows, Bows and Greatbows it can't be infused with either Poison or Bleed.

In-Game Description

Crossbow wielded by sanctum knights.
Strong attack fires dark bolts.

These guardian knights were sentenced to eternal
stewardship of the Sanctum in a clandestine ritual
carried out in the great depths, but today the
sanctum receives nary a visitor.

Availability

Dark Souls 2 & Scholar of the First Sin:

• Dragon's Sanctum treasure. It is on a corpse just past the Hidden Sanctum Chamber bonfire.

• Sanctum Knight drop - rare.

General Information

Notes

• Fires a Dark Orb-like projectile when the weapon is held two-handed, and the Strong Attack
  of the opposite hand is used (i.e., L2/LR if held in the right hand). Costs 10 durability to use.
  • This can be reduced to 5 with the use of a Bracing Knuckle Ring +2.

• Oddly, infusing it with Dark doesn't give it dark damage or increase its dark scaling.
  It also lowers the base physical damage more than the other elemental infusions.
  All the Dark infusion does is increases the damage of the special attack.

• A list of bolt types can be found here.

• Two-handing the weapon will let you aim from a first-person perspective just like a Bow.
  • Alternatively, you can also use the Binoculars to aim from a first-person perspective while one-handling the weapon.
