There are 6 Bow mastery challenges in Crimson Desert, grouped under the Bow Aimed at Fate series. They test accuracy, speed, and ranged combat discipline. Completing all six unlocks the Master of Bows trophy and achievement.
As with all mastery challenges, progress only starts tracking once you pick up the Sealed Abyss Artifact tied to each specific trial. You can use Guiding Light (L1+R1 / LB+RB) to help spot artifacts on the map.
Challenge | Objective | Location | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
Bow Aimed at Fate 1 | Defeat 5 enemies with a bow within 60 seconds | Hernand, intersection west of Glenbright Farm | 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Infinite Arrows I |
Bow Aimed at Fate 2 | Defeat 7 enemies in a row using only normal arrows | Hernand, north side of road southeast of Claphade Outpost | |
Bow Aimed at Fate 3 | Hit 3 headshots in a row with a bow | Hernand region (Sealed Abyss Artifact) | |
Bow Aimed at Fate 4 | Take down 3 birds with a bow from a distance of over 15 metres | Roadside west of Well of Reflection | 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Headstart I |
Bow Aimed at Fate 5 | Defeat 10 enemies with a bow without getting hit | Hernand region (Sealed Abyss Artifact) | |
Bow Aimed at Fate 6 | Defeat 3 enemies with charged bow shots within 30 seconds | Hernand region (Sealed Abyss Artifact) |
Bow challenges reward positioning and patience. Most objectives become much easier if you engage from a high vantage point where enemies cannot reach you quickly.
Bow Aimed at Fate 1: Sixty seconds is a comfortable window. Find a bandit camp with at least five enemies and start shooting before they close the distance. Invest in bow damage skills so each arrow lands harder.
Bow Aimed at Fate 2: "Only normal arrows" means you cannot use special arrow types. Keep a full quiver and pick a group of weaker enemies. Stay at medium range to maintain accuracy without running out of arrows.
Bow Aimed at Fate 4: Birds are small targets, but they often circle in predictable loops. Vultures in Hernand's open fields are the easiest marks. Stand at least 15 meters away (use the minimap to judge distance) and lead your shots slightly.
If your bow damage feels low, check your ranged weapons upgrade path. Higher-tier bows significantly reduce the number of arrows needed per kill, which helps with timed challenges.
Bow challenges award Abyss Artifacts and passive abilities like Infinite Arrows I (increased arrow recovery rate) and Headstart I (bonus damage on the first arrow in combat). The Master of Bows trophy unlocks after completing all six.
