The process involves completing Igon’s quest line, a series of tasks and battles that lead to acquiring the dragon form. This guide will walk you through each step in detail.
How to Unlock Dragon Form in Shadow of the Erdtree
To unlock the dragon form in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you need to get Priestess Heart. And to obtain it, you have to go through a series of quests and bosses.
The first step is to locate Igon. He can be found in the initial area, near the Great Bridge. Follow these steps:
- Head to the Castle Front Site of Grace.
- Proceed along the road until you reach a split.
- At the split, you’ll find a Site of Grace and Igon, who is lamenting his damaged legs.
Speak to Igon until he has nothing more to say. This interaction initiates the questline.
Defeat the Ancient Dragon Man
From Igon’s location, proceed south down the road. You will encounter an Ancient Dragon Man who will invade you. Defeat him to continue.
- Follow the path south until you reach a dungeon.
- Enter the dungeon and find the Site of Grace at the bottom.
Navigating the Dungeon
In the dungeon, follow these steps to progress:
- From the Site of Grace, take the left pathway.
- Jump through a hole in the wall and turn around.
- Head south and navigate through a gap, jumping into a pit.
At the bottom of the pit, you’ll face a boss. Defeat the boss to earn the Dragon Hunter’s Great Katana.
Defeat the First Jagged Peak Dragon
Exit the dungeon through the door, not the teleporter. Continue along the path to find another Site of Grace.
- Head east and jump down a cliff.
- Defeat the first Jagged Peak Dragon at the bottom.
- Read Igon’s note near the dragon’s location.
Reaching the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion
After defeating the first Jagged Peak Dragon, continue south along the path to reach the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. Here, you will encounter a dragon-formed person who performs a ritual, granting you a dragon blessing.
Defeat the Two Jagged Peak Dragons
Return to the previous dragon location and head north. Follow these steps:
- Use a wind vent to ascend.
- Cross the bridge and collect the Site of Grace on the other side.
Prepare for a tough battle against two Jagged Peak Dragons. Defeat both to find Igon lying on the ground nearby.
Defeat the Ancient Dragon Senessax
Speak to Igon, who will give you his finger and request your help against Bayle, a devastating dragon. Continue east, using an air vent to ascend.
- Navigate through the pathways, avoiding falling rocks.
- Defeat the Ancient Dragon Senessax to earn valuable rewards.
Proceed to the final area, following the dragon bodies as a guide. At the top, turn south and use the wind vent to reach the higher path.
Summon Igon and Defeat Bayle the Dread
At the last Site of Grace (Jagged Peak Summit), prepare for the final battle against Bayle the Dread. Summon Egon once the boss is revealed. To summon him, search for a glowing mark just in front of the boss entrance.
After defeating Bayle, return to where you found Igon after the double dragon battle. Collect his armor set, great bow, and ball bearing.
Get the Priestess Heart and Unlock Dragon Form
Return to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. The dragon-formed person will be gone, leaving behind the Priestess Heart. This item grants the dragon form when equipped without armor.
Conclusion
Unlocking the dragon form in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC involves a series of challenging battles and explorations. By following Igon’s questline and defeating formidable dragons, players can get the Priestess Heart and unlock the dragon form.
