The '''great bow''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. The weapon was depicted as a colossal crossbow in past games, but as of ''VIII'' the great bow has since been redesigned as a traditional longbow.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The great bow has an attack bonus of +100. It can be purchased in [[Precaria]] for 37,000 gold. [[Sancho]] and [[Dwight]] can equip it, along with assorted monsters.

==={{DQ6}}===
Great bows can be bought in [[Greedmore Valley]] for 37,000 gold and sold for 27,750 gold. They have attack bonuses of +110 and [[Style]] bonuses of +25. Great bows can also be upgraded for 20,000 gold to have an increased Style bonus of +65. Once the bow has been upgraded, it will sell for 31,500 gold. [[Carver]], [[Terry]], and [[Goowain]] can equip them.

==={{DQ7}}===
The great bow has an attack bonus of +110 and a style bonus of +25.
