Elder Dragon Greyoll Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Elder Dragon Greyoll:
- The easiest way to kill her is by going to her left side (from a player's perspective), and hit the tail with any weapon of your choice. Neither her, nor her children will fight back.
- Armaments that inflict Hemorrhageor/and Frostbite are incredibly useful against Greyoll, as they do a percentage of HP, and as it can proc relatively fast. It is possible to kill Greyoll from a very low level with this method.
- Beforegoing to eliminate this boss, it isrecommended to get at least one Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot(consume shortly before killing the dragon) and theGolden Scarab, found by beating the boss of the Abandoned Cave
- Stay in behind Greyoll, near the wings and the legs to avoid aggroing any dragons or falling victim to nasty attacks. She can be easily cheesed with this method.
- When you first ascend using the Spirit Spring directly north of Church of the Plague, run directly towards Greyroll's head and summon any spirit ash (preferably a tanky one) to draw the attention of the smaller dragons. She will alert the nearby dragons who will walk towards her head. After, try to ignore as many as you can and head straight towards the right side of her tail (if looking directly at Greyroll from the front, otherwise it would be the left side of her tail if looking at her from the back), at which point you should be able to freely attack Greyroll without drawing the attention of the smaller dragons. They may investigate if they were still aggro'd on you from before, but likeunlike regular dragons these do not fly around so they are easy to lose aggro on. Fromthis spot you should be able to attack her without anyinterference, since she relies completely on the smaller dragons for defense and does not attack the player.
Melee Users
Add Bloody Slash to a simpleLongsword, the Blood Losswill help kill it faster. Any other Bleed attacks will speed up the attack process. Kill the small dragons in the area that appear when it roars and it will also deplete its health. Clearing them will fnish off Greyoll without actually having to face her. Likewise, clearing Greyoll herself will clear all the smaller dragons, and this is quicker. These smaller dragons move very slowly and are easy to run underneath most of the time tothrow in some hits without taking damage. If you prefer,go ahead and approach Greyoll herself and throw in as many hits as you can until her HP bar depletes.
Magic and Ranged Users
You don't need a fancy weapon. Simply add Bloody Slash basic dagger and it will do just fine. As a ranged player, this will be a easy encounter due to their slow movement. They don't run at you and your main concern may be its lunge attacks that is still very slow and easy to predict. The time before its lunge attack while in the air is also a great opportunity to deal any ranged attacks. Continue this until all dragons are cleared then Greyoll will turn to ash.
Alternatively, if the player has no such weapon, instead of getting it he may try to kill lesser dragons with Rock Sling(while using Meteorite Staff). Headshots with rocks can deal quite a damage and poise-break them.
Any Faith build can useAncient Dragons' Lightning Striketo cause large amounts of damage to Dragon enemies. With 70 Faith, one or two casts can kill multiple of her Dragon offspring simultaneously.
