Upper Dragonkin Soldier arena

Starting Site of Grace: Worshippers' Woods

Before you go

  • Reach Siofra River.
  1. In Mistwood in eastern Limgrave, find the large circular Siofra River Well building north of the Minor Erdtree. Ride its lift down and activate Siofra River Well Depths.
  2. Follow the descending route northeast through the Claymen ruins to the second lift. Ride it up, then follow the water into the open river region. Continue to Worshippers' Woods grace, watching for the Ancestral Followers' long-range arrows.
  3. From Worshippers' Woods, head south and look for the fallen stone pillar you can walk up. Climb it and use the sending gate at the top.
  4. The gate places you on the upper level of Siofra River. Continue into the shallow water toward the large Dragonkin Soldier resting ahead.
  5. Defeat this Dragonkin Soldier to receive Dragon Halberd. The Dragonkin Soldier in Ainsel River is a separate encounter with a different reward.
  6. The sending gate reaches an upper area that the lower river path does not climb directly. Lighting the Hallowhorn pillars and defeating the Ancestor Spirit are unnecessary for this reward.

Notes

  • Defeating it awards Dragon Halberd. Frozen Lightning Spear and Dragonscale Blade come from the other Dragonkin encounters.
  • Use the sending gate on the fallen pillar south of Worshippers’ Woods to reach the upper basin.
  • Lighting the lower Hallowhorn flame pillars is unnecessary. That puzzle opens the separate Ancestor Spirit.
  • The large arm sweeps can reach around the side. Wait for the hand to finish moving before stepping in.
  • Keep the front of the body in view so a sudden crawl or slam does not catch you during a long cast.
