Bows

Discover the best bows in Dragon Age: Inquisition! Learn where to find powerful weapons like Longbow of the Griffon, Tenasarin, and Bane of Red Crossing.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on some of the best bows in Dragon Age: Inquisition? You've come to the right place. Bows are fantastic for ranged damage, and picking the right one can make a huge difference. Let's go over some of the top-tier bows and where you can snag 'em.

Punched by the Maker: This one's a bit of a gamble, as it's a random drop from the weapons and upgrades merchant in Val Royeaux. You'll need the 'The Short List' Inquisition perk to even have a chance to see it, and it'll set you back 20,633 Inquisition currency.

Longbow of the Griffon: This beauty is hidden away in a chest within the Temple of Mythal, specifically during the 'What Pride Had Wrought' quest. You'll find it in one of the rooms you pass through while following the elven sentinel to the well. Just remember, you need to have allied with the sentinels to even get close to it.

Tenasarin: If you're looking for a solid bow that's easier to get, the Skyhold merchant has this one for 11,110 Inquisition currency. You'll need to have unlocked the ability to use masterworks in crafting before it shows up, though.

Perseverance: This bow is found in the Hissing Wastes. Keep an eye out for figures that look like Chantry sisters scattered around the area. You need to speak to three of them – don't worry about dialogue choices, just interact. After you talk to the third one, she'll give you a little speech about a gift and then vanish, leaving the bow behind.

Grunsmann's Bow: A more affordable option, this bow is sold by Bonny Sims in Skyhold for 4,082 Inquisition currency.

The Trepanner's Requital: This bow is tied to a specific choice at the end of the 'Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts' quest. If you choose to fight and kill Grand Duchess Florianne de Chalons instead of just shaming her publicly, you'll get this bow.

Longshot: You can pick this one up from Glassric the Weaponsmith in the City of Amaranthine.

Bane of Red Crossing: Look for a chest in the cave that opens up at the end of the Astrariums in the Coast area. That's where you'll find this bow.

Farslayer: This bow is lying on the ground behind the rift located north of the Riverside Garrison in the Exalted Plains. Just keep your eyes peeled as you explore!
