In-game description

Where to find

Cathedral of Dragon Communion

Caelid

Starting Site of Grace: Cathedral of Dragon Communion

Before you go

  • Bring 1 Dragon Heart.
  1. From Summonwater Village in northeastern Limgrave, follow the main road east into Caelid. Stay on the highway as it curves south around the Swamp of Aeonia toward Caelid Highway South.
  2. Leave the southern road toward the ruined church on the hill south of the swamp. Decaying Ekzykes is near the approach; pass around the dragon if your chosen purchase does not require its defeat.
  3. Enter Cathedral of Dragon Communion and activate its grace. A Banished Knight patrols the ruins, so clear the immediate area before trying the altar.
  4. Interact with the red altar and choose the Dragon Communion menu. The price is paid in Dragon Hearts, rather than runes, and purchasing a spell is separate from equipping it at a grace.
  5. Select Dragonclaw and spend 1 Dragon Heart.

Church of Dragon Communion

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Coastal Cave

Before you go

  • Bring one Dragon Heart.
  1. From The First Step in Limgrave, head west to the cliff and use the descending route to the beach. Follow the beach north to Coastal Cave and bring a torch or lantern inside.
  2. Continue through the cave to the Demi-Human Chiefs and defeat them. Keep going through the passage beyond the arena instead of using the return-to-entrance marker.
  3. The passage emerges on the offshore island. Climb to the ruined Church of Dragon Communion and use its red altar.
  4. Spend one Dragon Heart on Dragonclaw. You can use a heart from any eligible dragon; it does not have to come from Agheel.

Notes

  • Creates a large physical claw slam with one optional follow-up. It deals Standard physical damage rather than Lightning or Magic damage.
  • Press the casting input again for the second slam. Each cast costs FP, so the listed 24 FP is not the price for an automatic two-hit sequence.
  • The claw can hit several enemies close together and apply stance pressure. It is not a long-range projectile and can miss if the target moves out before the slam.
  • The casting motion resists interruption, but you still take damage and can be punished during recovery. Its raised posture is not full invulnerability.
  • It cannot be charged for Godfrey Icon, and Roar Medallion does not boost the claw merely because it belongs to Dragon Communion.
  • Its physical damage still follows your casting seal's Incantation Scaling. Strength helps when using a seal that actually scales incantations with Strength, rather than being an automatic extra multiplier for the claw.
  • Cast with a sacred seal. Requires 17 Faith and 13 Arcane, uses 1 memory slot and costs 24 FP to start.
  • Dragon Communion Seal gives a 15% damage bonus while held in an active hand, even if another seal performs the cast. Its damage scaling uses Faith and Arcane; a different seal uses its own attributes.
