Serpent Bow is a Bow in Elden Ring. The Serpent Bow scales primarily with Dexterity and is a good Weapon for long ranged combat.
Malformed bow in the shape of a pair of poisonous snakes. Imbues arrows with poison through pagan magic, revealing its true worth when used with poison-infused arrows.
Used by assassins known as the Formless Serpents.
Elden Ring Serpent Bow Notes & Tips
- Weapon Skill: Mighty Shot
- This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War
- Serpent Bow can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones
- Adds a base of 15 poison build-up to all arrows. This leaves a visible effect on the arrows.
- Best paired with Serpent Arrows for faster poisoning. Especially effective when using its skill, Mighty Shot.
- The poison inflicted is not deadly poison, despite bearing similar design elements to the Serpentbone Blade and the Venomous Fang. See (Poison) for more information.
- The buildup of Scarlet Rot from Rotbone Arrows is not affected by this bow, since Scarlet Rot doesn't scale.
- The Arcane scaling on this weapon does not affect damage. The arcane scaling only affects the build-up of poison, bleed, and sleep passive effects of arrows. This bow is mostly advantageous with builds that integrate medium to high arcane.
- Deals similar damage to the Longbow, and shares the same Weapon Skill. Can be a potential substitute for it.
- At low levels the Black Bow or any Light Bow with Barrage may be more effective for quickly applying status buildup (at short range).
- Sell Value: 100.
- NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
