Mmoexp Elden Ring Items: Inflicting Status Ailments on Bosses
PvE Boss Strategies – Chip Damage & Status Ailments with Crepus’s Black-Key Crossbow
Crepus’s Black-Key Crossbow may not deal massive burst damage, but it is excellent for inflicting status effects and dealing safe chip damage against tough PvE bosses. Since crossbows don't require stat scaling, its effectiveness comes from strategic bolt selection and positioning rather than raw power.
1. Inflicting Status Ailments on Bosses
Many bosses in Elden Ring are susceptible to status effects, and Crepus’s Black-Key Crossbow allows you to apply them safely from a distance.
Recommended Status Bolts:
✔ Poison Bolts – Deals damage over time, great for slow fights.
✔ Scarlet Rot Bolts – Effective against large bosses with high HP pools.
✔ Bleed Bolts – Rapid HP chunking against bosses susceptible to Hemorrhage.
✔ Sleep Bolts – Can make humanoid bosses vulnerable to critical strikes.
Bosses Weak to Status Effects:
Erdtree Avatars – Weak to Scarlet Rot & Poison.
Fire Giant – Rot melts his enormous HP pool.
Godrick the Grafted – Bleed is effective for staggering him.
Morgott, the Omen King – Can be affected by Hemorrhage.
Loretta (Royal Knight & Haligtree) – Weak to Sleep Bolts, allowing free critical hits.
