The Repeating Crossbow is arguably one of the coolest new weapons introduced in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. As such, here’s how to get the repeating crossbow in Elden Ring.
Where to Find the Repeating Crossbow in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
The Repeating Crossbow can be found on a corpse guarded by a Ghostflame Dragon in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. You must first pass through Castle Ensis and beat Rellana to get to this location. After activating the Highroad Cross Site of Grace, you can head southeast and pass through the Moorth Ruins.
Just follow the dirt path until you can see a Ghostflame Dragon fighting a group of Messmer’s soldiers. If you’re patient, you can hang back for a while and wait for the two groups to exhaust each other. Should you try to join the fight immediately, you may become a target for both parties.
During my playthrough, I waited until the Ghostflame Dragon killed most of the Black Knights before I entered the battle. Don’t wander too far or the fight will restart and everyone’s HP bars will return to full.
How to Beat the Ghostflame Dragon in Elden Ring
If you decide to kill the Ghostflame Dragon, you should equip the Flamedrake Talisman to reduce the damage you receive from fire. You can also imbue your gear with Holy magic since this boss is weak against that element. This dragon is immune to Bleed or Poison, so avoid using weapons or spells that apply these status effects.
For spells, I recommend using Lorettaās Mastery and Lorettaās Greatbow. These sorceries can easily hit the dragon’s head while keeping you at a safe distance. Ensure that you have several Flasks of Cerulean Tears since the spells demand a ton of FP.
The Repeating Crossbow’s Stats in Elden Ring
Elden Ring‘s Repeating Crossbow is a ranged weapon that scales primarily with Strength. You need to invest 13 points in Strength and 15 in Dexterity to wield this new gear. It is a great ranged option for players who prefer to use melee weapons but don’t want to use spells.

The Repeating Crossbow comes with a skill called Repeating Fire that can unleash a barrage of fire bolts in rapid succession. Unfortunately, this also prevents you from imbuing an Ash of War into it.
Elden Ring is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
