The invincible dragon5/16/2023 Take this opportunity to hit him in the head a few times with spells or arrows. You can see this starting as his front legs leave the ground it is easily avoided by stepping outside which ever hind leg you are closest to. Note: He can and often will stand up and breathe fire back between his legs. Instead, position yourself so that you are a little distance back, but so that you could walk straight ahead between his inner toe and his middle toe. Note: Don't literally stand right between his toes, so that you are up against them. Side note: I just beat him using this method and the only time he used a move that wasn't a stomp attack was when he used Breath of Fire after I just entered the room. As soon as he begins to telegraph the stomp attack, immediately run over to the big toes of his other back leg. If you are standing in the right spot, he will only ever use the stomp attack. When the battle begins run to the back of the ancient dragon and stand in between the big toes (talons?) of one of his back legs. Best armor without using titanite (237 fire defense): Black Dragon Set. Best armor using normal titanite (250 fire defense): White Hollow Mage Hood, Alonne Captain Armor, Alonne Knight Gauntlets, Alonne Knight Leggings. Best armor that requires Twinkling Titanite (303 fire defense): Smelter Demon Helm, Chaos Robe, Smelter Demon Gauntlets, Chaos Boots. Here is some equipment that will help you reach 900 fire defense: Flame Quartz Ring +2 (100 fire defense), Dispelling Ring (60 fire defense), Dragon's Tooth (50 fire defense even without the strength), Flash Sweat (300 fire defense for 60 seconds). Like any kind of caster this tactic is very easy because you will have built-in fire defense and spells that do damage from a distance, but it's possible to use with any build. If you have 900 fire defense you are immune to fire damage so if stay away from the physical attacks the boss fight is trivial. If your phantoms enter more than a few seconds behind you, they will likely die instantly to a Breath of Fire, and you will face the boss (empowered with extra health) alone. If you are summoning phantoms, allow them time to prepare before entering the fog gate. Patience (Read: Luck) to evade the fire attacks is important as they take up a large area. If you are attacking the tail, he will raise it in preparation for smashing you down (also OHK)Ī time-consuming fight, best to come with the highest damage attacks and spells available to save time. If you are near the front of the dragon but underneath it, the dragon itself will turn its head facing itself and light its underbelly aflame attempting to kill you while you're under it, when he does this simply run behind the dragon and use this opportunity to attack his back legs. This move also has a slight area effect around his foot, so it's best if you roll/run away from the foot, or with a good shield, you could easily block this area damage. While underneath the Ancient Dragon, he will raise his foot to crush you while you stand under him, this can easily instantly kill you along with most of his other moves. While on the ground in front of the dragon, the Ancient Dragon will bring its head up slightly from one side and swipe across to the opposite side, attempting to bite the player. The Ancient Dragon will breathe fire while on the ground in a large cone in front if it going from either left to right or right to left. The best way to avoid this is to anticipate it, and begin to book it towards the tip of his tail. Will sometimes turn 180 degrees in either direction. Because the Ancient Dragon is so large, when it does this move you can actually attack its tail which will clip through the ground. The Ancient Dragon flies up into the air and breathes fire directly at the ground beneath it, creating a large AOE.
