The Soldier’s Bow is another option if you are looking for a ranged weapon with high DPS in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. A weapon of choice for the archers of Castle Hyrule, this bow was used to cull conflicts with the rebels.
You will get 14 baseline damage which you can ramp up by fusing it with items of your choice, Shock Fruit, Gibdo Bone, etc. The Soldier’s Bow in Zelda: TotK is not fireproof, so we don’t recommend using it in the lava-ridden areas of the Eldin Region.
Soldier’s Bow Locations
Soldier’s Bow is most commonly found in two main regions: Hyrule Field and Hebra Mountains. If you are looking for this specific bow, then these two should be your main focus.
Although there are tons of other chests where you might find the Soldier’s Bow in TotK, we have marked some of the spots with the highest likelihood.
1. Behind Hyrule Castle
The first spot will take you to the Hyrule Castle in the Hyrule Fields Region. Around the castle, you will find tons of chests with tons of loot in them, but there is one specific chest that we are looking for, and that is located right behind the castle.
The first spot will take you to Hyrule Castle in the Hyrule Fields Region. Around the castle, you will find many chests with loot, but there is one specific chest that we are looking for, and that is located right behind the castle.
You will find this right at the cliff’s edge and can access it after breaking through some rocks. The more specific coordinates are (-0196 1219, 0047).
2. South of Hyrule Field
You might get lucky and find the Soldier’s Bow in a chest further south of Hyrule (marked as 2 on the map).
Towards the southern edge of Lake Colomo, you will find some ruins, and near that area, you will find a chest containing the bow.
You can use Hyrule Field Skyview Tower as your point of reference. The chest will be southwest of the tower.
3. Inside an Ice Block on Hebra Plunge
It is time to take out your cold resistance armor as we are going to take a trip up north in the Hebra Mountains. You can start at the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower and go west towards the Hebra Plunge.
You will find a chest (marked 3 on the map) inside an ice block that you can melt with any sort of fire weapon near the cliff’s edge.
4. Inside Forgotten Temple
The fourth marker will take you to the Forgotten Temple in the Hebra Mountains Region. This is also where the Mayausiy Shrine is located as well.
The temple can be reached by passing through the Tanagar Canyon. Inside the Forgotten Temple, you will find a chest on top of a pillar not far from the entrance. Inside the chest will be the Soldier’s Bow.
Bonus Method: Amiibo
You can get Soldier’s Bow by scanning Link’s Archer Amiibo from Breath of the Wild. This will drop a treasure chest you can open to obtain the bow. However, you can only use this amiibo once every 24 hours.
