To finish the Bow of Fate V challenge in Crimson Desert, you must defeat at least five enemies with a single shot from over 20 meters away. This is best done by combining explosive fire damage with a high-density group of weak enemies.
Quick Setup
- Location: Ironwood Forest Bandit Camp (South of Demeniss). This camp has clusters of low-level bandits that are perfect for a one-shot multikill.
- Essential Gear:
- Fire Imbuement: Unlocked at the Spire of Ringing Truth (South of Pailune).
- Volcanic Eruption Abyss Core: This adds massive splash damage. You can find it on the Scorchflame Plate Gloves hidden behind the waterfalls in the Twilight Grotto (Demeniss region).
- Abyss Cores: Slot your bow with Attack and Crit Abyss Cores to maximize the explosion’s lethality.
How to Execute
- Launch: Use Force Palm to jump high into the air. This triggers the slow-motion aiming mode.
- Imbue: Activate your Fire Imbuement while airborne.
- Aim: Find the largest cluster of bandits and target the one in the center.
- Fire: Hold your shot for a full charge and release. The Volcanic Eruption blast should clear the entire group instantly.
Reward: Completing this challenge usually grants the Greater Infinite Arrows Abyss Gear, which gives you a 100% chance not to consume arrows

Essential Requirements
Before heading to the challenge location, ensure you have the following components equipped:
- Fire Imbuement: This is mandatory for the explosive AoE (Area of Effect) required.
- How to Unlock: Travel to the Spire of Ringing Truth (South of Pailune). Complete the Abyss puzzles there to unlock both Frost and Fire imbuements.
- Volcanic Eruption Abyss Core: This enhances your fire damage.
- Location: Found at the waterfall between Hernand and Demeniss. You must extract this from the Scorchflame Gloves.
- A High-Damage Bow: While any bow works, your success rate increases with raw power.
- Optimization Tip: Slot your bow with Attack and Crit Abyss Cores to ensure the fire explosion kills enemies instantly rather than just wounding them.

The Best Location: Ironwood Forest Bandit Camp
The key to “Bow of Fate V” isn’t just damage; it’s finding enough targets in one spot.
- Coordinates: South of Demeniss.
- Why it works: The camp is tucked away in the woods and contains groups of “low level” bandits who idle in tight clusters. This low health pool makes them perfect fodder for a single-shot multikill.

Execution Strategy: The “Aerial Strike”
To maximize your splash damage and hit the required number of enemies (usually 6–7 in one shot), follow this specific combat rotation:
- Launch: Use Force Palm to launch yourself into the air. This provides a better vantage point and triggers the aerial slow-motion aiming mechanic.
- Imbue: Activate your Fire Imbuement while in mid-air.
- Charge: Hold your shot to full charge.
- Target: Aim for the bandit in the absolute center of the pack. The Volcanic Eruption core will trigger a blast radius that should clear the entire group instantly.
Expert Tip: If you fail to get enough kills in one shot, fast travel away and return to the camp to reset the bandit spawns.
