Dragonkin Nokstella's Soldier Boss Guide: Elden Ring: How to Defeat the Dragonkin Soldier

Use the pillars on the field as cover since the Dragonkin Soldier is a large, nimble foe with respectable magic powers in addition to being able to cover great distances with melee assaults. The boss is a large, simple target for close-quarters or long-range weaponry since it isn't too large or defensive. It will collapse if you apply enough pressure with a heavy weapon, such a hammer, and you will then be able to launch a critical assault on its face.

Notable Attacks

There are three notable assaults of the Dragonkin Soldier that you should be aware of. Its usual assaults are quite obvious, usually including it spreading its arms throughout the surrounding area, but it may also trick you with a few really impressive moves. The first significant one is a physical assault in which it leaps into the air, lifts its left arm, and delivers a swift blow to you.

A circular template that pulses with energy emerges underneath where you are; duck out or flee from this template to escape this attack. This is another magic-based one. The boss's main weapon, the Frozen Lightning Spear, is a massive magical spear projectile that explodes where it falls. The boss can be defeated with patience, and any of these may still be avoided with some degree of rationality.

Victory's Spoils

12,000 runes and the Frozen Lightning Spear incantation are your winnings. This will also reveal a location of grace nearby, so for the time being, explore at your leisure without fear of ambush.
