If you’re looking for a step-by-step guide to killing the Giant Sleeping Dragon in Elden Ring, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll explain how to attack it, earn runes, and avoid telegraphed attacks. Read on to learn how to take down the sleeping dragon in a single fight. We’ll also discuss the importance of collecting Deathroot, which can be obtained from the Elden Ring.

Elden Ring’s Giant Sleeping Dragon

A sleeping dragon is a common monster that can be found near Caelid’s castle in Elden Ring. The sleeping dragon is relatively easy to kill. However, the rewards are ridiculous. While the sleeping dragon has tons of HP, it will only roar if you attack its head. Moreover, the roaring of sleeping dragons will wake up other sleeping dragons nearby. The rewards for killing the sleeping dragon include 74,000 Runes, 5 Dragon Hearts, and a powerful enchanted shield.

To kill the Giant Sleeping Dragon, you should first learn the basics of the boss fight. You can either use a weapon that has a bleeding effect, or summon a spirit. This will speed up your battle. Continuously attacking the dragon will eventually cause it to die, and you’ll receive a Dragon Heart and 74,000 Runes for defeating it. As you level up, you can use these tips to learn how to kill the dragon.

Attacking it

This quest is based on a certain mechanic: the player has to attack a sleeping dragon. The dragon is located north of Fort Faroth, a castle east of Dragonbarrow. The dragon is protected by children and doesn’t react to an attack. However, it can be killed with weapons that cause a buildup of Bleed. Attacking a sleeping dragon can take hours, so if you’re short on time, you can always use weapons that cause Bleed to build up. It also has a truckload of Runes.

When attacking a sleeping dragon, be sure to back up. They don’t attack you, so it’s very easy to lose aggro on them. If they don’t have wings, they won’t attack you, and they rely on smaller dragons to defend themselves. A good way to avoid a dragon’s attack is to get behind them. This will allow you to attack from afar without fear of losing aggro.

Earning runes

There are several methods for earning Runes in the Elder Ring, and one of them is killing the Sleeping Dragon. Although the dragon’s HP is quite high, it does not attack you and can be easily defeated. The rewards from defeating the sleeping dragon are seventy-four thousand Runes and five Dragon Hearts, which have a high value in the game economy. If you are unsure of the exact method, you can try out the Gold Pickled Fowl Foot, which can boost your Runes by 30% for three minutes.

To reach the sleepy dragon, head to the site of grace. The dragon is located just outside of Fort Faroth, east of Limgrave. To reach it, you can use a Waygate, cross a bridge, and circling the giant Erdtree. Next, use a Spirit Spring to heal yourself. Alternatively, you can use a Torrent to reach the Caelid region and ride past the massive enemies.

Avoiding telegraphed attacks

While fighting a sleeping dragon, you may be unable to see its limbs or tail. Dragons use their limbs to telegraph their attacks. When their limbs lift, you should move to close proximity. The dragon can also use a flame breath attack to damage you. This attack will damage you for a long time. You can avoid this attack by rolling into it when he comes close.

A common telegraphed attack from a dragon is a charge. The attack is twice as long as a straight one. Usually, a dragon will charge and neigh before he attacks, so run away when it does. Alternatively, you can stay by his tail to dodge the dragon’s charge. While a dragon’s attack will cause damage to the area around you, the charge will not.

Taking it on with a weapon with Bleed damage

In World of Warcraft, taking it on with a weapon that deals bleed damage is an excellent way to deal massive damage in a single hit. Bleed weapons, also known as blood-sucking weapons, deal additional damage to targets by reducing their maximum health. They’re particularly useful against bosses, since they have a high health regeneration rate, and are very useful for dealing massive damage to a target.

One of the best early game bleed weapons is the Bloodhound’s Fang. The Fang feels light to use but deals massive damage. It also has the highest bleed status build-up. Hookclaws are another weapon that deals a large amount of bleed damage, but they’re limited in range. They also deal good physical damage, making them an excellent choice for fights. Unfortunately, their short range makes them vulnerable, and they can be problematic against bosses with better range.
