Envoy's Long Horn

Envoy's Long Horn is a rare great hammer dropped by large Oracle Envoys in Leyndell and Miquella's Haligtree. Bubble Shower releases many holy bubbles overhead, dealing exceptional multi-hit damage when a large target remains inside the descending spread.

Key Takeaways

Envoy's Long Horn is a Somber-upgraded great hammer whose distinctive value comes from its Bubble Shower skill rather than ordinary melee reach alone.

Bubble Shower defines the weapon

Its unique skill releases a spread of holy bubbles that can deal substantial damage when several projectiles connect, especially against large or relatively stationary targets.

It is an attribute-gated great hammer

The weapon uses Strength, Dexterity, and Faith requirements, so it is aimed at characters that can support both heavy melee attacks and holy skill damage.

Its acquisition is tied to the Haligtree

Envoy's Long Horn is obtained from a large Oracle Envoy in Miquella's Haligtree, making it a late-game weapon rather than an early roster option.

The skill is strongest against suitable targets

Bubble Shower can punish large bosses and enemies that remain in place, but its slow, visible projectiles are less dependable against agile targets or obstructed terrain.

Upgrades use the Somber path

As a unique weapon, Envoy's Long Horn follows the Somber Smithing Stone upgrade path and retains its fixed Bubble Shower skill rather than accepting ordinary Ashes of War.

It offers more than a conventional great hammer

Compared with ordinary great hammers, its main distinction is access to a dedicated ranged holy attack; its usefulness therefore depends more heavily on skill openings and target size than on melee damage alone.

Overview

Envoy's Long Horn is a unique Great Hammer in Elden Ring whose defining feature is Bubble Shower, a horn blast that sends a cluster of floating bubbles toward enemies. It combines a conventional heavy-melee moveset with a distinctive delayed projectile attack, making it more than a straightforward strength weapon.

As a Great Hammer, Envoy's Long Horn occupies a heavy close-range role, but its identity comes from the weapon skill rather than from an unusual basic attack sequence. Bubble Shower launches bubbles that travel ahead before bursting, allowing the weapon to threaten targets at a distance while retaining the commitment and spacing demands associated with a large melee weapon.

The bubbles do not behave like an ordinary instant projectile. Their movement and delayed detonation can make the skill effective against large or relatively stationary targets, while mobile enemies may evade or move through the pattern before it connects. This gives the weapon a situational area-control tool instead of a universally reliable ranged replacement for a bow, spell or faster weapon skill.

Its unusual skill also separates Envoy's Long Horn from more conventional Great Hammers. Those alternatives generally distinguish themselves through reach, stagger potential, damage profile or a direct weapon skill; this weapon instead asks the player to alternate between heavy melee attacks and carefully timed Bubble Shower use. The result is a specialized choice for players who value spectacle and target-dependent skill payoff.

Envoy's Long Horn is a unique weapon found during exploration of Elden Ring's later areas and is not a standard early-game Great Hammer variant. It has no separate story-mode or online identity, and its role is the same across those modes. The weapon is most distinctive when its bubble attack can be given room to travel and burst, rather than when it is treated as a generic replacement for every other heavy weapon.

How to Obtain

Before you start

Reach Miquella's Haligtree through the Consecrated Snowfield route, using the Haligtree Secret Medallion and Ordina, Liturgical Town. This is a base-game area; no DLC or NG+ requirement applies.

01Travel to Miquella's Haligtree and defeat the large Oracle Envoys found along its branches and rooftops. These enemies are the source of Envoy's Long Horn; the weapon is an enemy drop rather than a chest pickup, vendor item, quest reward, or boss reward.
02The drop is random, so continue defeating large Oracle Envoys until it appears. The weapon can be farmed from these enemies, and no separate mission, boss completion, or one-per-playthrough restriction is required.

No vendor price or separate DLC requirement applies. If the weapon is missed before the capital changes, obtaining another copy requires a subsequent playthrough or trading.

Mechanics and Handling

Envoy's Long Horn combines a conventional great-hammer moveset with two bubble-producing attacks. Its ordinary light attacks are close-range swings with the commitment expected from the class, while its reach comes mainly from the weapon's long haft rather than from a separate ranged mode.

Bubble-producing heavy attack

The heavy attack blows the horn and sends out a large golden bubble. The projectile travels forward before bursting, giving the weapon a way to pressure targets outside immediate melee range. Its travel time makes timing and spacing important: it is more reliable against large or committed enemies than against fast targets that can readily move aside. The attack can be charged to increase its impact.

Bubble Shower

Bubble Shower is the weapon's fixed skill. It creates and launches a spread of smaller golden bubbles that drift forward and detonate on contact or after travelling for a time. The bubbles cover a broad area and can deal repeated hits when a large enemy remains in their path, but their slow movement makes the skill less dependable against mobile opponents. The skill's distinctive value is area pressure and burst potential, not rapid single-target melee exchanges.

Close-range handling

The horn does not replace the great hammer's normal melee attacks, so using it at close range still involves slow swings and substantial commitment. The bubble attacks are best treated as openings or spacing tools rather than as a universally safe substitute for melee. No innate status buildup or durability-specific behaviour is central to this weapon's identity.

Upgrades and Variants

Strengths, Weaknesses and Best Uses

Strengths

Bubble Shower gives the Envoy's Long Horn a distinctive ranged pressure option despite its hammer classification; its bubbles can cover space and punish large or committed targets.
As a unique-skill weapon, it offers a burst-focused alternative to relying only on ordinary melee swings.

Weaknesses

Bubble Shower is less dependable against agile enemies that can move away from or around the slow-moving bubbles.
Using the skill consumes FP, and committing to its animation can leave the wielder exposed at close range.
The weapon's value is tied heavily to its skill, so it is less attractive when a build cannot support repeated skill use.

Best uses

PvE encounters against large bosses or enemies with predictable movement, where multiple bubbles have more opportunity to connect.
Hybrid melee-and-skill setups that want a hammer's close-range option while retaining a situational ranged attack.
Openings created by enemy recovery or aggro on another player, rather than fast duels requiring immediate melee pressure.

Lore and Design

The Envoy’s Long Horn is associated with the Oracle Envoys, enigmatic messengers encountered among the divine architecture of the Lands Between. Its item description presents the envoys’ horns as instruments connected with summoning clouds, giving the weapon a ritual and prophetic identity rather than treating it as an ordinary battlefield hammer. Its bubble-producing horn blast reinforces that association, while the game does not explicitly establish the envoys’ full origin or purpose.
