Traveling through the world of Elden Ring, you will meet a lot of both good NPCs and evil monsters and robbers. And to survive you need a weapon. There are many different weapons in the game, but at the beginning of the game, it would be nice to get a long-range weapon to kill enemies from afar and not lose precious health. For this, a crossbow is perfect for you, and in this article, we will tell you how to use it and aim.
How to Use and Aim a Crossbow in Elden Ring
When choosing a ranged weapon in Elden Ring, you have several options. It can be a bow, crossbow, or spell. And if everything is roughly clear with the use of spells, then with the mechanics of aiming and shooting from a bow and crossbow, novice players may have questions.
Using a bow in the later game will of course be more effective, but in the early stages, a crossbow is your best option as it’s a bit easier to shoot bolts.

First, to start using a crossbow, you need to have bolts with which you will shoot. Well, as well as a little practice to learn how to shoot accurately.
The game has 2 options on how to aim and shoot. And one of them is to lock the target and the shot will automatically follow the target until you pull the trigger. This option is simpler, but all the fun is lost since almost nothing depends on you.
The second method is more interesting, but at the same time more difficult. This is a shot with manual control. To aim at you need to get a crossbow, and then press the right mouse button. After that, the reticle will be called up and the target will get a little closer. You need to aim properly and shoot at the perfect moment.
Although it sounds easy in words it is not so easy, so we advise you to find a secluded place in the beginning and practice a little.
