Where to Get the Golden Knotted Ancestral Bow in Crimson Desert

The Golden Knotted Ancestral Bow can be found inside the Pailune Ancestors' Ruins, which is located north of the first "i" in "Silver Wolf Mountain."
We've tagged the exact location in the map image above so you won't get lost.
In the wooded areas of Silver Wolf Mountain, you'll find a hatch on the floor when facing north (which is also showcased above).
Once you enter, drop down the ladder to enter the Pailune Ancestors' Ruins, but be careful, this area is filled with traps, and we'll guide you through them below.

As soon as you drop down the ladder, head forward, and be quick, as the floor will collapse and you might fall into lava.
Approach the door to open it, and you will then find a room with spinning blades that will move left to right. Wait for them to stop, then dart to the end of the room.
There are now three platforms you need to jump to, which is made easier with Precision Jump, which is activated by holding L1/LB, aiming where you want to jump, and then pressing Square/X. Watch out for the braziers, which will sway from left to right.
When you reach the dead end, jump and triple Force Palm (R3) to climb the wall, where you will be met with a closed door.
Enter the door simply by approaching it, and you can find the Golden Knotted Ancestral Bow on the floor as your prize.
