This weapon offers 1d6 + 1 piercing damage and the Blood-Curdling Emission special feature. On a hit, possibly inflict the Frightened status effect.

How to Get Bow of the Banshee in Baldur’s Gate 3
To get the Bow of Banshee, access Grymforge via the Underdark and kill or purchase Bow of Banshee from Corsair Greymon near the Free True Soul Nere Questline.
Corsair Greymon
You first encounter the NPC Corsair Greymon during boat transit from the Decrepit Village in the Underdark to the Grymforge. You must avoid confrontation with Greymon and ensure he survives the encounter. The easiest option is passing a DC 10 intimidation check with a high charisma-based character. Once Greymon survives, you can kill him, trade with him, or attempt to steal the Bow of Banshee Shortbow.
How to Use the Bow of Banshee
The bow of Banshee is a powerful Shortbow that requires simple weapon proficiency. This bow is an excellent addition for a rogue who lacks proficiency in martial weapons and longbows. The weapon can immobilize targets. Secondly, you gain additional damage when enemies are Frightened, and you can use the Oathbreaker Paladin Dreadful Aspect, which sends a 9-meter radius, possibly frightening characters within this radius. In summary, this combination prevents enemies from reaching you, and the extra damage it can achieve can compete with the Titanstring Bow.
