The Full Moon Crossbow is much harder to find than most weapons. So, here’s how to help you get this weapon in Elden Ring.
While many items in Elden Ring can be found in a nearby carriage or a small shack you forgot to check, others can be located deep in the corners of a legacy dungeon. While Elden Ring’s massive open world begs for exploration, some players may be goal-oriented in these dungeons and forget to explore them for loot.
The Full Moon Crossbow is an excellent example of going far from the beaten path to find a unique weapon. Elden Ring’s jump mechanic is used a lot throughout the game and perfectly hides away areas of the world you wouldn’t be able to find in previous souls games.
Where To Find The Full Moon Crossbow
To find the Full Moon Crossbow, first travel to the Debate Parole site of grace. From here, exit through the west-facing door, and look to the left to the destroyed staircase. Climb this staircase and head up the next one past it. From here, run past the two wizards and take a left, jump over the railing, and land on the stairs below. Climb these stairs, turn the corner, and jump over the next set of railings to land on the rooftops. Climb the nearby ladder to see the path ahead with a wizard and three enemies that drop from above. These enemies are standing at the top of poles located around the wizard and can be attacked with ranged weapons or spells to knock them down or kill them before the wizard sees you.
After taking out these enemies, go to the back side of the tower and drop on the roofs below. Go forward and drop again to more rooftops below. From here, make a running jump over the gap to the west to the nearby rooftop. Take the roofs to the left and follow that path to find the entrance to the tower. Climb the ladder within, reach the top, and find a chest containing the Full Moon Crossbow.
How To Use The Full Moon Crossbow
The Full Moon Crossbow requires 10 Strength, 10 Dexterity, and 14 Intelligence to wield. Much like other hand crossbow-type weapons, the Full Moon Crossbow does not scale based on your individual levels; it only offers its base damage. This weapon does deal both physical and magical damage. It is an excellent option for those looking to add magic damage to their build without investing too many points into intelligence.
This weapon does come with the skill Kick. Kick is perfect for distancing yourself from enemies who can run up on you. This weapon cannot be infused with other Ashes of War. Kick doesn’t cost any FP, making it perfect for additional options for melee should an enemy get within range.
