How to unlock the Dragonslayer Armour achievement in DARK SOULS III - Definitive Guide

External image

This boss is accessed as you progress through Lothric Castle beyond the Dragon Barracks bonfire.

His attacks will do lightning damage, so you will benefit greatly from the Thunder Stoneplate Ring from Archdragon Peak and the Spirit Tree Crest Shield, which has 83% lightning damage absorption.

NPC summons (require questline advancement):

Eygon of Carim can be found inside the building to the right of the steps to the boss door (with a lift that won't work when you first reach it).

Sirris of the Sunless Realms can be found at the base of the steps before the boss door.

Found in Lothric Castle.

You can summon Eygon from inside the church to the right of the boss gate if you’ve been keeping up with his story, plus you can summon Sirris of the Sunless Realms if you’re on good terms too – her sign is on the steps in front of the gate. The boss is imbued with lightning so any defense against that is welcome, however, expect him to do massive damage either way do to the strength of his hits in general. He will lunge at you as soon as you enter so be prepared to dodge, then be ready for his two or three hit combos. They often end in a big shield bash which you want to avoid at all costs as it can leave you wide open.

He with also do a big sweeping attack that you can generally roll past and a large lightning smash in front of himself, if you can roll past him as he does this then you can easily get a couple of hits in. Watch out for his attacks smashing the edge of the arena here, as you can easily get knocked to an instant death.

At half health the area will randomly start getting pelted with projectiles from either side so try not so stand still, wait for openings in his combos and chip away at him.

Quite a difficult boss. Sweeping and fast attacks, plus a shield and fast movement around the arena.
In the second stage, dragon spits will still fly onto the field.
At the moment, too many players leave chalk on the floor. The best option is to beat him with three people. Try to hit no more than a couple of times, otherwise his one attack can easily destroy more than half of his lives.

There is an elevator opposite the boss entrance. If you activate it, you will run closer from the “dancer” bonfire than from the “Dragon Barracks”.

On the contrary, it was more convenient for me to kill him solo, the movelist is not difficult, the main thing is to dodge in time and move back during explosions, in the second stage I ran around the fountain and periodically hammered it. For weapons, I recommend the Irithiil blade and a shield with 100 physics. Before the boss, you can eat a yellow pill, it should also help.

The following tactic helps a lot against this boss: walk around the fountain, which is located in the center of the arena, while aiming at the boss. When he makes a combo of three hits, he will have a chance to hit once. This fountain also helps to “extinguish” the spit flying in your direction.

I think the Lothric shield helped me, it has good protection from lightning. It requires a minimum of rolls and no more than two hits to it.
I'm lvl 61, here's a video to help https://youtu.be/zbHSv6exFiY
