At the start of the game, you do not have a bow, but that does not mean you cannot equip yourself with a decent ranged weapon. On this page of the guide, you can find some tips on how to acquire a bow without spending money at a merchant.
The best opportunity to acquire a bow appears during the main quest, “Run!”, which takes place in Talmberg castle.
One of the castle’s towers contains a chest with armor elements. The same location also contains a bow (Villager’s Ash Bow), as shown in the screenshot above. The tower itself is restricted, but you can sneak up to it as there are no guards patrolling around.
The Talmberg bow can be replaced with a better one during the next part of the main quest, “Train Hard, Fight Easy in Rattay”. The main hero will be challenged by Hans Capon to take part in a bow and arrow tournament. To defeat him, you need to score higher than Capon (most of the time, Hans gains 5 up to 8 points) and defeat him in melee combat on a training arena.
If you win both encounters, Hans Capon will give you his bow (Capon’s Hunting Bow). The weapon requires 5 strength and agility, so make sure you increase both of these attributes.
- You can obtain even better bows through theft. In this case, you need to steal from Hunter Nicholas who has a hut on a hill in the southern part of Talmberg – the area is shown in the first screenshot. Wait for nightfall and sneak to the upper part of the hut.
- You’ll encounter two locked chests, both with low security. One of the chests contains items that are sold by the vendor by day, including various bows (as seen in the second screenshot), but make sure you have the necessary attributes to use them.
