    I used this video to help me find him as its not super obvious


    If you missed him and killed Elden Beast this is a pretty easy fight, might take a couple tries. Downside is that the runback is pretty far

    Julz D 01Envoys Longhorn decimates this thing. Get it and save some time or a lot of time by killing the dragon with bubbles lol.

    CuddlyREDRUMBeat him first time using Comet Azur with all the fixings. Lusat's Staff, the Tears that give you unlimited FP for a bit and better magic scaling. It can be done in one shot, but I got like 95 percent of his health down using Terra Magicka and Comet Azur with the Physicks. Truth be told, I almost died when he came back down.
    This would have taken quite a while as a melee build.

    WkdJuggaloUsing a fully levelled up Latenna summon and placing her on the row behind the columns that surround the main boss area you can aggro the dragon by running away from her and around the edge of the columns, avoiding lightning. Run back and forth and she will decimate the dragon while it’s focused on you. Did it first attempt.

    An easy way to kill this boss as of 1.04.2 is to use the Serpent Bow in conjunction with Serpent Arrows and Bloodbone Arrows.

    Gather the Serpent Bow, 100 Serpent Arrows, and 100 Bloodbone Arrows (Fletched). By this point in the game those items are not difficult to come by. You can back up to the wall when you enter the arena, shoot him until he is poisoned, and then use blood arrows until a hemorrhage, then repeat. You need mighty shot for the distance, and the Arrow's Reach Talisman is a bonus. It took me around 10 Cerulean flasks to have the necessary fp to use Mighty Shot until he was killed.

    This boss has around 30,000 HP, and each Poison will do about 2500 damage. In addition to the blood damage, you should have more than enough to kill him. Also note he will drop down mid-fight. If you are far enough away, he will not aggro.

    Here is a video that explains the process in more detail. This may be patched in the future:

    GarnitoroSadly, this exploit has been patched out of the game (as of version 1.05). I did, however, have luck with a relatively cheesy strategy that was borne out of trying and failing to make the exploit work.

    I equipped myself with the Serpent Bow (+10), the Arrow's Reach and Arrow's Sting talismans, plus 100 each of Bloodbone arrows and Serpent arrows. I aggroed the dragon, and proceeded to circle strafe around him counter clockwise, while firing arrows at him. The range was about the same as what it was where you spawn into the arena, maybe a little closer.

    I first shot him with Serpent arrows to trigger the poison damage over time, and while that was ticking away, shot him with Bloodbone arrows to trigger bloodloss. When the poison damage stopped, I started over.

    For some reason –maybe that I kept out of a certain range – the dragon just stuck with his regular red lightning area of effect attacks as long as I was circle strafing and shooting arrows. So long as you keep moving while locked on, there's enough of a window between lightning attacks that you can evade, loose an arrow and evade without taking damage.

    I got him down to about a quarter health before I ran out of arrows, and his second phase still hadn't triggered by this point. I then summoned a spirit (I used Tiche +10), let her aggro and damage, while I kept my distance and hammered him with spells. Time consuming, but it worked.
