How to Obtain Longbow in V Rising

V Rising is full of surprises and the Longbow is one of them. The recipe to craft the Longbow can be obtained by defeating the Level 30 roaming boss named Lidia the Chaos Archer. This boss roams around the paths of Farbane Woods and the location varies depending on where she is, but players can easily find Lidia by using the tracking mechanic located in the V Blood menu tab.

Once Lidia has been defeated, you’ll be rewarded with the recipe for the Longbow, as well as other handy tools including structure recipes and spell points toward your chaos ability tree. Just make sure to fight Lidia before daytime arrives.

How to Beat Lidia the Chaos Archer in V Rising

To defeat Lidia the Chaos Archer, you’ll need at least level 20+ equipment, with the recommended level being 30 and above. Lidia uses chaos magic to unleash heavy blows and calculated arrow strikes, but she’s weak to quick bursts and attacks when charging up spells or arrow bolts.

Use this weakness to attack in intervals when the time is right. With patience, precision, and some time, you’ll be able to take Lidia down with ease. We recommend using crossbows and projectile spells to dish out damage, as they allow you to hit Lidia from afar without getting caught in her abilities or attacks.

And that’s how to obtain the Longbow in V Rising and how to beat Lidia the Chaos Archer in the process. For more news articles, guides, and lists about V Rising, check out Prima Games.
