The Construct bow is a simple bow that you can obtain early on in the game. With this bow in your possession, you can take out enemies from a safe distance pretty effectively.

That said, the game won’t hand it over to you from the get-go. Instead, you have to obtain it from a chest in a certain location.

Let’s find out where that is and how you can get the Construct bow.

As the name implies, the Construct bow is one that’s used by Captain Constructs. To get it, you want to head to the southern section of Great Sky Island.

Once you get there, you’ll find a lone Captain Construct in front of the ruins. All you have to do is take down the Captain Construct and then loot the Construct bow from it.

This one is a pretty simple fight, so you should be able to take it out without any problem. After defeating it, it will then drop the bow alongside other items such as the Thick-Stick Broadsword which it’s using.

After looting the Construct Bow, a prompt will then appear showing a tutorial on how to use a bow. Equip your bow in your inventory and proceed to start to practice shooting with it.

It’s really not that hard though. All you have to do is press and hold the right button on your D-pad. Then, use the right analog stick to select your bow from the selection.

To fire it, simply press and hold the ZR button to pull the string then release it to fire the arrow.

Keep in mind that the Construct bow is an early-game bow, so it won’t be as effective against higher-level enemies that you’ll eventually encounter.
