The optional Placidusax battle nets you a remarkable sword and the ultimate dragon spell.
The Elden Ring Placidusax battle pits you against one of the games toughest dragons.
Despite being an optional fight, its one you should strongly consider completing.
Where is Placidusax in Elden Ring?
you’ve got the option to only reach Placidusax towards the end of the game.
Look down, and youll see a ledge far below you.
Continue moving forward towards the tornado.
Youll eventually reach a large section of ruined wall with an empty niche in the middle.
Approach the niche, and the game prompts you to lie down.
Choosing to lie down transports you to the boss arena.
Note: You should be at least level 100 with a fully upgraded weapon before taking on Placidusax.
Equipping the Boltdrake Talisman–ideally an enhanced version of it–is a good idea for this battle.
Magic users and bow wielders have an advantage.
Placidusax is reportedly weak to fire.
Once you approach the dragon, they call down red lightning across the battlefield.
Its a fast attack, so youll need to dodge quickly.
Placidusax also uses the standard dragon tail swipe move, though that seems less common.
Of more significance is their vanishing trick.
When youre close, Placidusax will suddenly vanish in a cloud of smoke.
Once youve defeated Placidusax, youll receive the Dragonlords Remembrance.
