In Elden Ring, what is the name of the spell that summons a giant spectral bow?
Answer
Loretta's Greatbow
Answer
Loretta's Greatbow
In Elden Ring, Loretta’s Greatbow is the spell that summons a giant spectral bow.
Loretta’s Greatbow is a sorcery associated with Carian royal magic. When cast, it creates a large magical bow and fires a powerful great arrow. The spell can be obtained by defeating the spectral Royal Knight Loretta at Caria Manor in northern Liurnia of the Lakes.
Its long range makes it useful for opening encounters, striking large targets, and attacking enemies before they enter melee distance. Like other sorceries, it scales with Intelligence and requires a staff to cast. It is separate from Loretta’s Mastery, a stronger related sorcery acquired later from a different Loretta encounter.
The word “Loretta” appears in both spells and in the boss name, which can cause confusion. Loretta’s Greatbow is the basic named bow spell; Loretta’s Mastery creates multiple projectiles and is a distinct spell.
