Loretta’s Greatbow is a sign of loyalty and gratitude in Elden Ring. A Carian sorcery passed down to the Royal Knight Loretta, the only way to obtain it is by overcoming a massive obstacle in the game.
In this guide, we will help you acquire Loretta’s Greatbow Sorcery and help you defeat Royal Knight Loretta in the process.
Loretta’s Greatbow Location
Loretta’s Greatbow Sorcery can only be obtained after killing Royal Knight Loretta in Caria Manor. We have a very detailed guide on how to take down this difficult boss.
To find Royal Knight Loretta, you need to travel all the way to the Northwest corner of Liurnia. Caria Manor is a scary place to traverse, and you must be at least level 50 to attempt it.
Once you reach the end of Caria Manor, a troll and some enemies will stop you from going any further. These long stairs will lead you directly to the Moongazing Grounds.
This area leads to the Three Sisters and here you will encounter the phantom of Royal Knight Loretta. Vowed to protect Princess Ranni from outside harm, Loretta left her phantom to protect her princess at any cost.
Royal Knight Loretta is easy to take down with melee Strength builds. Once you kill her, she will drop Loretta’s Greatbow Sorcery.
FYI: Loretta also uses this sorcery as her main weapon.
