How to Get the Dusk Bow in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Learn how to find and claim the powerful Dusk Bow in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Includes tips on reaching Hyrule Castle and the best landing spots.

Alright, so you're looking to snag the Dusk Bow in Tears of the Kingdom? It's a pretty sweet ranged weapon with a base damage of 30 and 40 durability, and it's hiding out in Hyrule Castle. Getting it isn't exactly a walk in the park, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it!

First things first, you gotta get yourself to Hyrule Castle. Since the beginning of the game, it's not exactly on the ground anymore. Once you've finished up on the Great Sky Island and made it to the Surface, your first stop should be Lookout Landing. Doing the main quests there will unlock the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower, which is your golden ticket to getting airborne. You'll also grab the Paraglider around this time, which is essential!

Pro-Tip: Pack some stamina-replenishing food! The journey to the castle can be a long one, especially since you'll be gliding through the air. You shouldn't really run into many enemies on the way, so focus on your stamina.

Now, launch yourself from the Skyview Tower and start gliding north towards Hyrule Castle. The best spot to aim for is the main bridge leading to the front door and the Sanctum. However, if you've got a good amount of stamina, you can actually bypass a lot of the castle by gliding all the way to the tallest spire. That's where the Dusk Bow is waiting for you!

If you land near the Sanctum, don't sweat it. You can use your Ascend ability to get to higher levels. This is going to be your main method for reaching the top. Keep an eye out for spots where you can use Ascend, especially until you reach the room with the bell. You might need to do a little maneuvering here, but you can use Ascend on the ledge just outside the bell room to get you closer to the final climb.

From there, it's just a bit of climbing. You'll end up on a thin ledge. Follow this ledge around until you spot the broken part of the tower – that's your final destination. Climb up to that broken section, and there it is! You can finally grab your Dusk Bow. The best part? It respawns after every Blood Moon, so you can snag another one if you need it!
