How To Find The Sleeping Dragon In Elden Ring
To reach the sleeping dragon and kill it, there are many steps that players should follow. While the process might seem complicated though, the rewards are definitely worth it and better than any other task players could do during their playthrough, especially in the early game.
Defeat Tibia Mariner And Get A Deathroot
Tibia Marineris a world boss in Elden Ring. Upon its defeat, it will grant players a Deathroot item. This item is needed for players to fast travel north ofCaelid, where the Sleeping Dragon is located. There are many Tibia Mariners scattered around theLands BetweeninElden Ring, however, the easiest to spot and defeat is inside theSummonwater Village, east of Limgrave.
Afteracquiring theDeathrootinElden Ring, players could head back to theRoundTable Hold. There, the tarnished will meet withD, Hunter of the Dead. Showing him the Deathroot, he will offer players to meetGurranq, the Beast Clergyman. Tarnished must accept his introduction, after which, the NPC will mark the map to give players easy access to reach the Clergyman.
Follow the mark on the map will lead to aSending Gate, east of Limgrave.
Interacting with the Sending Gate will teleport players toGreyoll’s Dragonbarrow,north ofCaelid.
Players should then enter the Bestial Sanctum andinteract with the Lost Graceof Power. This site can act as a checkpoint.
Move South To Reach Fort Forath
Next, players will need to ride south until they come upon a bridge with theFlying Dragon Greyllon it.
ASite of Lost Graceis available before crossing the bridge, another much-needed checkpoint for the long journey across Caelid toget the Dragon Hearts inElden Ring.
Crossing the bridge, players have to ride south as fast as they can, avoiding the two world bosses, the Flying Dragon Greyll, and Putrid Avatar. It’s worth noting that the Putrid Avatar only appears under Minor Erdtrees.
Behind the Erdtree, there’s aSpirit Spring. The Spring of air can elevate players right up into the mountains, close enough to the Spirit Spring. While in the air, the tarnished should notice a Fort nearby.Players must reach this Fort.
AnotherSite of Lost Grace is stationedin front of the Fort.Light it up, and players will immediately notice the sleeping dragon. The dragon looks tired or dying, which will make it an easy fight for the tarnished.
Fight The Sleeping Dragon
Although the sleeping dragon has massive HP, defeating it isn’t that hard. Tarnished can use weapons that causebleedto take a portion of the sleeping dragon’s HP every few hits. Defeating the sleeping dragon will reward players with a whopping74k Runes (although the game will say +50,000) and five Dragon Hearts, which can then be used to trade for newstrongElden RingIncantations.
