How To Defeat Dragonlord Placidusax - Elden Ring Gameplay Guide
I find the fight against Dragonlord Placidusax to be insanely fun, and some of the animations of its attacks are incredibly cool. This boss fight is incredibly important despite being optional, because of a related quest that allows you to change your ending choice. In this video I discuss my tactics to take down Dragonlord Placidusax effectively.
The Golden Order has been broken. Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.
In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered.
Marika's offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring known as the Great Runes, and the mad taint of their newfound strength triggered a war: The Shattering. A war that meant abandonment by the Greater Will.
And now the guidance of grace will be brought to the Tarnished who were spurned by the grace of gold and exiled from the Lands Between. Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring.
And become the Elden Lord.
Elden Ring is an action role-playing game played in a third-person perspective with gameplay focusing on combat and exploration; it features elements similar to those found in other games developed by FromSoftware, such as the Souls series, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki explained that players start with a linear opening but eventually progress to freely explore the Lands Between, including its six main areas, as well as castles, fortresses, and catacombs scattered throughout the open world map. These main areas are interconnected through a central hub that players can access later in the game's progression-similar to Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls-and are explorable using the character's mount as the main mode of transport, although a fast travel system is an available option. Throughout the game, players encounter non-player characters (NPCs) and enemies alike, including the demigods who rule each main area and serves as the game's main bosses.
Combat in Elden Ring relies heavily on character-building elements found in previous Souls games and related intellectual properties, such as calculated and close-ranged melee-based combat with the use of skills, magic abilities, as well as blocking and dodging mechanics. Elden Ring introduces mounted combat and a stealth system, the latter being a core gameplay element from Sekiro; these features are expected to encourage players in strategizing their combat approach with each unique enemy they encounter. The game makes use of a player character stamina bar after being absent from Sekiro, although its overall influence over combat was reduced compared to previous FromSoftware games that utilized it. Unlike in Sekiro, resurrection mechanics after in-game death are not available; however, some elements were added to ensure players' progression within the game.
Miyazaki stated that the customization in Elden Ring would be richer, as players are able to discover different skills through their exploration of the map instead of unlocking skill trees as in Sekiro and differing from the pre-fixed weapon skills of FromSoftware's previous games. These skills are interchangeable with a large variety of weapons which, alongside equipment, magic abilities, and items players can craft using materials found within the world, can be used to customize the player character.[4][6] The game also features summoning mechanics, where players can summon a large variety of collectible spirits hidden throughout the game's world map, including previously defeated enemies, as allies to assist them in battle. Similar to the Souls series, the game's multiplayer allows other players to be summoned for cooperative play.

This was probably the only boss in the entire game that frustrated me for HOURS. But, without spoiling too much, I had stumbled into a "bad" ending and really wanted to undo it. There's a feeling you get when you take down a hard boss in a FROMSoft game that few other developers can replicate.

Such a cinematic fight. Awesome tips as always ! He does look like two fingers when you enter the arena.
Ill never hear this boss name again without giggling thanks to screamer
some bosses really need a stake of marika nearby...
This fight is only shit because you have to walk 8 miles through a bunch of birds to get back

Your tips were really helpful for this fight! Im a first time souls player and after cheesing Malenia with maxed out mimic tear I decided to beat a boss without summons for the first time to really experience the intensity of the game. Plasidusax was tough tbh but after about 7 tries I finally beat him which also helped me in improving my fighting and boss reading skills in general. Really great video keep it up :)
The fucking lazers man, get me every time! 🤦♂️
Appreciate the guide. I was able to kill him!! But we both ended up dying at the end so I didn’t get any runes lol
Love your Elden Ring videos man; you helped me defeat the Fire Giant!
He really does try his best to finish you off, this is the bos I've died the most to after getting their hp down to less than 10% it really feels like he's frantically trying to stop you from beating him
This fight is epic 👏 😎
Duel wielding black knife actually does a decent amount of damage and lowers a good chunk of his hp
This is so fun to watch, so much happening at once. It's almost beautiful. I love all the extra info you give. Lore run some time?
Thank you finally understand how to dodge his dragon lazer lol
Great guide thanks...I think dragons and death rite birds are clunky boss fights , its hard to see what they are doing due to camera issues and their attacks can basically kill you in a couple hits and some attacks are 1 shot kills...this falls under the criticism of just being unfair and feels cumbersome instead of enjoyable. I love the game overall, but fights like this I have no desire to do in NG+, just not fun.

Use a tear that negates damage in your mixed physick, and use perfume bottles that negate damage when he does his laser bullshit. It saved me
I almost beat him before watching this but out of no where he decided to stomp me when he was on a smidge of health
Envoy longhorn bubble shower can melt This boss , the drop Rate of the weapon isn’t great but it took me 20 Min to get it and its bubble shower ability melts dragons especially this one
I lost to him many times and got him first try after watching this vid. Great work.

I hate Placidusax. You can't reach him from afar, he one-shots me with 50 vigor when I go near and everything I tried does a fraction of the usual damage 🤬

This one is really stupid , just can't hurt it or move fast enough

Now imagine it on my ng3 bow only...... it's frustrating but I have super light load dodges haha
I took him down in seconds trying whilst trying different weapons, I have a max malikeths blade and using destined death over and over took the fight less than 2 minutes

He has no healing in any of his moves, no. He does have a lot of health overall though.
This boss is so aesthetically pleasing. However, lord have mercy his entire move set is complete AIDS
I’m over level I need 200k to level up and he gives 300k I gain 1 level from him I’m probably over level.
Oh just dodge thats all you have to do its that easy.
got em on the 6th try. Comet azure ftw!
This guy only beat me 2 times, mostly i died 8 times try to reaching the rest place
DO THE ROAR !
Ngl for Somereason I can't kill radgin or elden beast but I can placidusac
For me just 2 tries. I used the black knife tiche ash, godslayer greatsword, and the lion greatbow with radahn's spear. I've barely beat that boss with very little hp left and used up all my hp flask.
The hardest thing about this dragon is his name tbh
beep boop
The lazers can not be dodged I don’t care dude. It’s the ONLY hard thing about this boss. They made it relatively easy to get its health down but as SOON as I’m about to beat it the lazers come out and I get one tapped. Absolutely ridiculous
ohh my gawd yo burcher the name lol
