In-game description

Weapon type: Bow
Attack type: none

Bow born from the soul of the Dark Sun
Gwyndolin, Darkmoon deity who watches over
the abandoned city of Gods, Anor Londo.

This golden bow is imbued with powerful magic
and is most impressive with Moonlight Arrows.

Where to find

Boss-soul forging

Anor Londo

Requirements

  • Reach the main cathedral in Anor Londo.
  • Keep the Giant Blacksmith alive and friendly.
  • Retain Soul of Gwyndolin and a normal +10 Short Bow.
  1. Reach the Darkmoon Tomb by lowering Anor Londo's rotating staircase to its bottom position. Wear the Darkmoon Seance Ring to reveal the passage behind the statue, or reach the passage after making Anor Londo dark.
  2. Enter Gwyndolin's fog to challenge him and defeat him. Keep his soul. Entering the fight breaks the peaceful Darkmoon relationship; this is not the covenant-joining dialogue.
  3. Prepare the normal +10 weapon. Andre can make the +5 to +6 modification after receiving the Large Ember from the chest beside the first butcher in the Depths. Continue reinforcing to +10.
  4. In Anor Londo, enter the cathedral hall with the two large sentinels. Reach the upper walkway beside the Silver Knight archer, cross the connecting passage and go down the spiral stairs to the Giant Blacksmith.
  5. Open Modify Equipment and select Darkmoon Bow. Check the result before confirming: the soul and the +10 weapon are both consumed. The forging fee is 5,000 Souls.

Notes

  • Requirements and weight: Requires 10 Strength, 16 Dexterity, 16 Faith and weighs 1.0.
  • Separate scaling: Strength and Dexterity improve the physical portion, with Dexterity contributing more. Faith improves the magical portion. Intelligence does not scale this bow.
  • Using the bow: Bows are fired with both hands, so 7 Strength meets its listed 10 Strength requirement in use. Dexterity and Faith requirements remain unchanged. Arrows are consumed separately from weapon durability.
  • Magic arrows: Moonlight Arrows complement the bow's magical damage. The final hit still depends on the chosen arrow and target defenses; adding the displayed physical and magical attack ratings is not a direct HP prediction.
  • Quest consequences: Attacking Gwyndolin ends access to his covenant services in that journey and makes Anor Londo's Fire Keeper hostile. His soul also makes the Tin Darkmoon Catalyst, so one copy cannot supply both recipes.
  • Reinforcement and buffs: Reinforce to +5 with Demon Titanite. This weapon has no elemental upgrade branches and cannot use pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.
