In Abyssus, getting the Combat Bow isn’t part of the normal story; you have to earn it by beating a special enemy in a fast and smart way. This happens in the Sanctuary area, where you will fight an elite enemy with lasers and weak spots on its hands. To win, you will need strong weapons, quick moves, and good timing. If you defeat it fast enough and reach the door before it closes, the Combat Bow will be yours. This guide will show you how to do it step by step.
How to Unlock Combat Bow
To unlock the Bow in Abyssus, you will need to pull off a quick, precise kill inside the Sanctuary, it’s not something you will get through normal story progression or by collecting Soul Fragments. During your run, make your way to the Sanctuary area and look for an elite enemy that has rotating laser beams and weak points on its hands.
How to Defeat the Elite
Bring a strong AoE or high-burst weapon, like the Plasma Launcher. Its splash damage is perfect because it can hit both hands at once, making the fight much faster. Before the fight, try to stack instant damage buffs from blessings or mods. These work better than damage-over-time effects for this challenge.
While fighting, focus on the right hand; hitting it just right can damage both at the same time. Use your mobility skills to dodge the lasers while keeping your damage up. Once the elite go down, don’t stop to loot. Head straight to the door that opens nearby. If you’re too slow, it might shut, and you will miss your chance.
Instead of focusing on steady damage over time, go for weapons that deal big bursts of damage. Try to stack as many high-damage blessings as you can before you head into the fight. A great choice is the Tesla Gun use its primary fire and sets the secondary mode to a freezing magnetic field for maximum effect. Pair it with the Fan Charm, since it makes the magnetic field stronger and helps knock your enemy down faster. The closer you stay to your target, the more damage you will be able to keep landing.
