Harp Bow Location

The Harp Bow can be obtained by going to the location depicted in the Champion's Song Painting.

Champion's Song Painting Location

The Champion's Painting is located along the eastern wall of the Shaded Castle. From the Shaded Castle Ramparts Site of Grace, turn around and head down the stairs and follow the eastern wall. Towards the end of the wall you should see a rock sloping downwards. Head down the rock, and behind it is a wooden shack containing the Champion's Song Painting.

Harp Bow Location

Once you have the painting, head over to the Rampartside Path Site of Grace. Follow the path west and head up the cliff. There, you will see a sitting phantom. It will drop the Harp Bow after it disappears.

How to Use Harp Bow

Scales with Dexterity and Strength

The Harp Bow has a D scaling in Dexterity and an E scaling in Strength at +10. Adding points to Dexterity and equipping the Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom talisman to boost your Dexterity by +5 will improve the damage of your attacks, however since the scaling is rather low, you may be better off equipping a different talisman entirely like the Arrow's Sting Talisman that increases the damage of your arrows.

Lightest Light Bow in the Game

The Harp Bow has the lowest weight out of all the other Light Bows and can be used as a secondary ranged weapon without having to worry about adding too much weight to your current equipment set. If by some chance this weapon still manages to push you from a medium load to a heavy load, you can equip the Great-Jar's Arsenal to vastly increase your maximum equipment load if needed.

The Harp Bow, however, is the weakest bow in the category, so it's not recommended if you plan to focus on ranged combat primarily.

Weapon Skill can Fire Arrows Rapidly

This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War and is equipped with the Barrage weapon skill. This skill allows the user to continuously fire a barrage of arrows at a rapid pace.

Using this skill with different types of arrows is very effective at inflicting enemies with status ailments while rapidly dealing damage. Equipping the talismans Viridian Amber Medallion and Cerulean Amber Medallion will increase your max FP and Stamina allowing you to use the skill much longer as long as you have enough arrows to spare.
