In-Game Description
Repeating crossbow wielded by sanctum knights.
Strong attack fires dark bolts.
These guardian knights were sentenced to eternal
stewardship of the Sanctum in a clandestine ritual
carried out in the great depths, but today the
sanctum receives nary a visitor.

Notes
- Firing the weapon with less than three bolts of your selected ammo type will still fire three shots of that type.
- Fires several Dark Orb-like projectiles in a cone in front of you when the weapon is held two-handed, and the
Strong Attack of the opposite hand is used (i.e., L2/LB if held in the right hand). Costs 10 durability to use.- This can be reduced to 5 with the use of a Bracing Knuckle Ring +2.
- Oddly, infusing it with Dark doesn't give it dark damage or increase its dark scaling.
It also lowers the base physical damage more than the other elemental infusions.
All the Dark infusion does is increases the damage of the special attack.
- A list of bolt types can be found here.
- Two-handing the weapon will let you aim from a first-person perspective just like a Bow.
- Alternatively, you can also use the Binoculars to aim from a first-person perspective while one-handling the weapon.
To do this, equip the Binoculars in one hand and the Light Crossbow in the other hand.
Aim with the Binoculars first and then fire the bolt. The bolt will always hit where you're aiming, even if it drains more than your remaining stamina.
(Note: Using this method does not make a reticule appear in the middle of the screen to help you aim.)
- Alternatively, you can also use the Binoculars to aim from a first-person perspective while one-handling the weapon.
- It can only be power-stanced with a Avelyn or another Sanctum Repeating Crossbow.
- Like all Crossbows, Bows and Greatbows it can't be infused with either Poison or Bleed.
