Where Can You Find Elder Dragon Greyoll?

Elder Dragon Greyoll can be located at Greyoll’s Dragonborrow around the east side of the Caelid region. There is a Site of Grace near Fort Faroth and if players look to the west, they can see an enormous sleeping dragon resting in place. Elden Ring players will encounter plenty of enemies and do some fiddling and backtracking to reach this area.

After reaching a certain point, players can teleport early to the same battle arena where the Black Blade Kindred optional boss is waiting. Players can keep moving and ignore everyone else to reach Fort Faroth and sneak up on Elder Dragon Greyoll.

Elden Ring players should consider bringing all the best weapons with a strong focus on the bleed effect to help chip away at the lengthy health bear. The Falx is a powerful weapon introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion with a strong focus on bleed.

Elden Ring players can save time from raging by sticking with the safest strategy. Other methods involve fighting smaller minions and spirit summons can come in handy to deal with lesser foes.

Elden Ring players will want to find the left flank of the dragon or by the tail to slash away and build up the bleed effect. This process will take a while; however, this can greatly diminish the health bar. Others would view this process as cheating or cheesing but it is efficient and can get the job done without much hassle or trouble.

With enough slashes and build-up of the bleed effect, the Elder Dragon Greyoll will be another fallen enemy. The bleed effect approach is an efficient way to cheese this boss without getting too worked up and can be accomplished at a lower level; however, it is best to face these enemies in the best condition possible.

The rewards are somewhat worthwhile with 50000 Runes and Dragonheart. Preparing by upgrading the best weapon in their loadout with bleed effect can do the trick without worrying about how this dragon will retaliate because it wouldn’t even notice a player is there slashing its side.
