Jagged Peak Drake (Upper Battlefield)

Location and access

Two-drake battlefield above Foot of the Jagged Peak

Two-drake battlefield

Starting Site of Grace: Foot of the Jagged Peak

From Castle Front, follow the southeast road toward Pillar Path Waypoint. Take the lower branch toward Igon, speak to him beside the road and leave him alive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Defeat the Ancient Dragon-Man behind the mist. Open the large doors at the back of the arena instead of using the return-to-entrance exit, then follow the tunnel to Dragon's Pit Terminus grace.
From Dragon's Pit Terminus, descend to the first drake's lake bed. Use the northeastern archway and follow the path uphill as it bends southeast. The drake fight is optional.
Continue along the narrow cliff path until you reach a spiritspring on the east side. This is the first spiritspring on the ascent, before the bridge to Foot of the Jagged Peak.
Use the spiritspring to jump east, then cross the bridge south-southeast and activate Foot of the Jagged Peak grace.
From Foot of the Jagged Peak, follow the southern path uphill to the two fighting drakes. Defeat the one with the boss health bar, then speak to Igon just beyond the battlefield until he gives you his Furled Finger.

Notes

Defeat the drake with the boss health bar for its Dragon Heart and Dragonscale Flesh rewards.
Let the dragons damage each other before committing if you want to reduce the opening pressure.
Keep both bodies in view when approaching. An attack aimed at the other dragon can still catch you.
Afterward, speak to Igon beside the onward path until he gives you his Furled Finger. That item prepares his summon for Bayle.
You can pass this battlefield to continue up the mountain, but doing so leaves Igon’s finger conversation unfinished.
Bayle’s heart is a different reward at the summit. The ordinary Dragon Heart from this encounter cannot buy either Bayle incantation.
