Location and access

Dragon’s Pit

Ancient Dragon-Man (Dragon’s Pit)

Dragon's Pit

Starting Site of Grace: Dragon's Pit

Before you go

  • To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
  • Access the Realm of Shadow.
  1. From Castle Front, follow the road southeast toward Pillar Path Waypoint. At the fork, use the lower road toward Igon rather than climbing to the Suppressing Pillar.
  2. Continue south-southwest past the broken dragon statues. An Ancient Dragon-Man invades along this approach. The cave entrance is on the left near the end of the path, marked by a fire.
  3. Activate Dragon's Pit grace and follow the lit passage down. Watch for skeletons below the first ledge and around the next corner. Strike their glowing remains after knocking them down to stop them getting back up.
  4. In the large cavern with the pillars, follow the left-hand ledge down and take the passage beside the distant crossbow skeleton. Continue onto the sloping stairs in the next chamber.
  5. Take the downward route toward the large altar and pit. The stairs going up lead to an optional Magma Wyrm; that fight is not needed to reach the exit.
  6. At the bottom, approach the message beside the deep chasm. Walk straight off this lowest ledge into the pit to land safely by the boss mist. Do not jump from the higher rooms or aim toward the side walls.
  7. Enter the boss mist and defeat Ancient Dragon-Man to receive Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana automatically. The road invader is a separate encounter and does not give this weapon.
  8. After collecting it, the large doors at the rear lead onward toward Jagged Peak. The return exit sends you back to the cave entrance instead.

Notes

  • Victory awards Dragon-Hunter’s Great Katana. The road invader on the approach does not award the weapon.
  • Walk off the lowest ledge beside the message at the deep pit. Do not jump from the higher rooms or aim toward a side wall.
  • The Magma Wyrm on the upper stair branch is optional. The downward altar route reaches this boss.
  • The great katana has long reach. Let a committed swing finish before moving in for a short attack.
  • Watch the head and body when he changes from weapon attacks to dragon-themed attacks. Do not remain in front while starting a long cast.
  • Open the large rear doors after victory for Jagged Peak. The return exit sends you back to the dungeon entrance.
