Notes

The Compound Short Bow is a bow in Demon's Souls.

Description

In-Game Description

A small-sized composite bow.

Its use requires strength, but its power is high. Ranged weapons require the equipping of arrows as well as a bow. Also, from the position of readying an arrow, an aimed shot is possible with [L1].

Availability

• One can be found atop the second tower in 1-2
• Dropped by Skeleton Archers in 4-1

General Information

One of the more powerful bows in the game. It is outclassed by the Compound Long Bow for those with the stats to wield it, but it can be useful for builds with insufficient stats for the aforementioned bow, or who seek to conserve on weight.
