While the gameplay in The Forgotten City is primarily made up of investigation and exploration, players are able to use the bow against certain enemies, and to progress in the story.
There is only one very specific way to get the bow in The Forgotten City, however. Players can use this guide to help them acquire the item and work their way toward achieving three of the four different endings.
How to Get the Bow in The Forgotten City
To get the bow in The Forgotten City, players must kill the assassin wielding one and take it from his body. The assassin is located near the entrance to the baths, beyond the marketplace. Fabia will be waiting by the steps to the public toilets to warn players of his arrival.
Fabia must be convinced to hide in the bakery, not the nearby shrine, in order to obtain the bow. To do this, either fail the current time loop in The Forgotten City by committing a crime after Fabia has died, or read the note outside the shrine before she talks to players.
Once one of these scenarios has been completed, the assassin can then be convinced that the person he is searching for is located inside the dangerous shrine. It will collapse on him when he enters it, and the bow can be obtained from his body.
The bow needs to be acquired to get the Golden Bow. Obtaining the Golden Bow will also lead to the uncovering of a horror-tinged mystery, making it one of the things The Forgotten City does better than its original Skyrim mod.
On top of unraveling a mystery, the Golden Bow is used to climb vines in The Forgotten City. To use either of the bows, players must have arrows in their inventory.
Where to Find Arrows in The Forgotten City
There are two easy places to find arrows in The Forgotten City:
- In a chest by the locked entrance to the Palace.
- In an amphora pot at the back of the Cisterns.
Other chests and amphoras can be found throughout the city, but these two locations can be easily accessed at the start of every loop. The Palace is on the upper level, at the back of the city. The Cisterns can be entered under Sentius' house. However, ensure the bow has been acquired before entering the cistern, as there is an enemy waiting not far into the area. Any arrows acquired in one loop will stay in the inventory when the day is reset.
The Forgotten City is out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
