Bows are an excellent weapon option for those who like to fight their enemies from a distance rather than directly in battle. Getting a bow early will definitely make your life easier, as you will be able to easily deal with weaker enemies and hunt for food. The good news is that you can obtain a free Short Bow very early in the game without spending any ore. In this guide, we will show you how to get a bow in Gothic 1 Remake.

The Short Bow is an early-game ranged weapon in the first stage of Gothic 1 Remake. This is a poorly made bow that has unbalanced limbs, suggesting that its primary purpose is practicality rather than aesthetics. This weapon is user-friendly, making it one of the preferred weapons among novice hunters and prisoners as it helps them stay alive. The short bow may not be the best bow among all other bows but it can serve well if a player wants to attack the enemy safely at long ranges during the early stages of their adventure.
For those who want to use an early ranged weapon, a free Shortbow can be obtained very early into the game. You will find a location where you must fight two Scavenger Juveniles after meeting Diego. The next step would be searching for the Hunter’s Knife quest item at the location.
All you need to do is keep going along the route to Old Camp, and soon enough, you will find Drax, who is a hunter from the New Camp. All that is required here is to give back his Hunter’s Knife, after which he will gift you a Shortbow.
