Hunter's Blackbow
In-Game Description
A black bow designed for long distances.
Difficult to handle at first, and requiring
some amount of practice to master.
The hunting goddess Evlana was no goddess
at all, but rather a brave and highly skilled
bow huntress. Long after her demise,
the passing of lore transformed her into a deity.
Availability
Dark Souls 2 & Scholar of the First Sin:
- Drangleic Castle treasure. Go down the ladder near the hidden Forgotten Chamber bonfire, the bow will be in a metal chest guarded by a Royal Swordsman.

Notes
- The normal Long Bow does nearly the same amount of damage, even though it only has an A rating in Dexterity scaling.
However, the Hunter's Blackbow shoots the fastest out of all the bows. (7 frames faster than Longbow)
- Because the difference in scaling from A to S is not that much of an increase, this bow is a good candidate for most infusions as
it's scaling drops only to an A rating once infused.
- Like all Crossbows, Bows and Greatbows it can't be infused with either Poison or Bleed.
- You can still cause damage with either aux effects by using Poison Arrows or Lacerating Arrows though.
