Flying Dragon Agheel: Boss Fight Strategy

A lot like Tree Sentinel, the Flying Dragon Agheel is a boss fight you'll need to come back to later once you've levelled up. Its attacks will almost certainly kill you in one hit if you attempt to kill it at the start of the game. Therefore, return a lot later once you've more powerful and have better loot.

Once you think you're ready, return to the boss arena and target its legs and wings throughout the fight. Flying Dragon Agheel spends much of the battle on the ground, breathing fire all around it and taking swipes at you with its tail and legs. If you can avoid these using dashes aboard Torrent and learning when attack patterns have concluded, you can get up close and personal with some hits of your own.

Every so often, the dragon will take to the skies and relocate to somewhere else in the lake. It usually follows this move up with a long breath of fire, so be sure to avoid that when galloping its way. Return to attacking its legs and wings to deal more damage. If you're struggling, summoning Ashes like Lone Wolf Ashes will temporarily distract the boss. This will take aggro off yourself for a time and let you get some free attacks in. If you have them in your inventory, Fire Grease and Magic Grease work well for increasing your damage temporarily. Remember, you can take the Dragon Heart to the Church of Dragon Communion on the other side of Coastal Cave to trade it for an incantation.
