Skyrim: How To Get Auriel's Bow

While Skyrim offers a large variety of weapons for every playstyle, every archer wants an Auriel's Bow in their collection. Besides the fact that there is a separate achievement dedicated to obtaining this bow, this weapon is one of the best choices against the undead. The Sun Damage enchantment built into this bow will allow you to deal 20 points of sun and triple damage to all undead, including vampires. In addition, the permanent Quick Shot perk allows you to pull the bow and shoot faster than once per second.

All these advantages make Auriel's Bow very strong, but this weapon is relatively difficult to obtain. Eventually, Dragonborn must reach a specific point in the Dawnguard storyline to find this weapon as part of the Touching the Sky quest.

Where To Find Auriel's Bow in Skyrim

The only way to obtain Auriel's Bow in Skyrim is as the final reward of the Touching the Sky quest. To reach this quest, players must progress through the Dawnguard storyline and complete the Unseen Visions quest. In turn, reading Elder Scroll (Blood) will unlock a new point on the map - Darkfall Cave. Upon entering the cave, you begin the Touching the Sky. Completing the quest will take a lot of time, but here are the main steps you need to complete to get Auriel's Bow:

After entering the cave, go to the wooden bridge and swim downstream all the time as soon as the bridge breaks. Dodge the boulders and do not choose paths leading upward so as not to interrupt your journey.
After going into the very depths of the cave, past the glowing mushrooms and several enemies, you will find yourself in the ancient sanctuary of Auriel and meet the Knight-Paladin named Gelebor, one of the last snow elves.
During the conversation, the elf will agree to help you find the treasured bow, but in return, he will ask you to kill his brother - Arch-Curate Vyrthur.
As soon as you agree to help the elf, he will activate Wayshrine and instruct you to get to the Inner Sanctum, where his brother and the treasured bow are. As part of this journey, you must visit five more Wayshrine. However, to unlock them, you must talk to the spirit of Prelates and collect ewers along the way.
Once you reach the Inner Sanctum and use the ewer, you can enter the build and challenge Arch-Curate Vyrthur.
During the battle, this boss uses mainly ice magic. Therefore, you must be prepared to protect yourself from this type of damage. However, as soon as you win, a new Wayshrine will appear nearby, from which Gelebor will appear. Talk to him and pick up Auriel's Bow.

As was mentioned above, Auriel's Bow is one of the best bows in the game. Its permanent Sun Damage enchantment and Quick Shot perk will allow you to shoot devastating shots with virtually no reloading, leaving no chance for vampires and other undead. Of course, the damage of this bow against enemies resistant to fire may not be so outstanding, but the Deadly Aim perk or Overdraw perk can correct this situation by giving your weapon even more power.

It is highly recommended that you visit Serana or Gelebor after completing Touching the Sky to convert your regular Elven Arrows into their Bloodcursed or Sunhallowed versions. This update will make your shots deadlier.
