There are a ton of cool new weapons, just like the Gentle Greatsword Milady in Shadow of the Erdtree, however one in every of my private favorites is a Nice Katana you could get on the backside of the Dragon’s Pit. 

To get to the Dragon’s Pit begin on the Pillar Path Waypoint Website of Grace and head south. Observe the road of beheaded dragon statues till you see a small fireplace burning exterior a cave. Inside you’ll be capable of get an Historic Dragon Smithing Stone and, for those who can beat the Dragon Pit’s boss, the Dragon Hunter’s Nice Katana. 

Navigating the Dragon’s Pit

Within the very first room of the Dragon’s Pit you’ll must battle two draconic skeletons. They don’t have an enormous quantity of HP, however they hit laborious and except you ensure that to smash their glowing bones to bits, they get again up after you strike them down. Attempt to preserve the battle in that entrance room as a result of there’s one other skeleton that may bounce out at you once you begin making your means down the corridor. 

Within the subsequent space you’ll discover two extra skeletons, one capturing arrows at you from afar and the opposite coming straight ahead with an arrow. You’ll additionally see a shiny piece of loot on the left aspect of the room, however don’t go wherever close to it till the skeletons are taken out. As quickly as you decide it up (congrats on discovering a brand new Historic Dragon Smithing Stone, by the best way) extra skeletons will come out of the bottom to ambush you. 

The following room within the Dragon’s Pit incorporates a lengthy staircase patrolled by two skeletons. If you happen to head up the steps, you’ll enter a big chamber the place a Magma Wyrm is mendacity in wait. This one appeared to deal extra injury and have extra HP than the bottom recreation model, however the battle performs out precisely the identical. You may kill the Wyrm for a Dragon Coronary heart, however whether or not or not you battle it, you’ll wish to return down the steps and bounce into the seemingly bottomless pit to achieve this dungeon’s boss. 

The way to beat the Historic Dragon-Man

The Historic Dragon-Man isn’t probably the most annoying boss in “Elden Ring,” however he’s nonetheless a big problem. He fights very very like an invader who makes use of greatswords and draconic incantations. I discovered one of the best technique to be taking note of his sword assaults and utilizing these swings to get straightforward guard counters. The one primary sword transfer to be careful for here’s a drawn out left swing as a result of the Dragon-Man all the time follows that up with a fast stab. Greater than as soon as I attempted to get the guard counter off after that preliminary swing and located myself on the receiving finish of a lethal stab. 

Apart from melee sword assaults, there are three spells the Dragon-Man makes use of that it’s essential to be careful for. He’ll generally stand up and collect reddish vitality round him earlier than slashing together with his blade, sending an vitality blast in your route. The opposite spells are the incantations. One is a big lava blast that coats the bottom in entrance of the Dragon-Man with magma. The opposite incantation seems to be fairly a bit like Rotten Breath whereas its casting, however as an alternative of respiratory out noxious smoke after rising into the air, the Dragon-Man darts ahead with a high-damage chunk. 

Fortunately, all of the Dragon-Man’s spells take a second to cost, so that they’re fairly straightforward to see coming. You may interrupt the casting with a heavy assault, or you’ll be able to simply dodge out of the best way and dive in for a fast assault to the Dragon-Man’s again. When you get about half of his HP down, he’ll use a flask like an invader, however after that he’s out of heals. 

Defeating the Historic Dragon-Man leaves you with the Dragon Hunter’s Nice Katana and a transparent path to the Jagged Peak.
