The Dragon Priestess is a new NPC found at the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. A servant of theDragonlord Placidusax, she demands the Tarnished exact vengeance on Bayle the Dread, another dragon who betrayed her master and inflicted a grievous wound upon him.
There are two different ways to complete this questline, each with completely different rewards at the end. Knowing what’s at stake and how a player will be rewarded is key to figuring out which option is worth taking.
Dragon Priestess Questline (Step-by-Step)
Interact with the Priestess’ dead body to receive the rewards:
The Priestess Heart is used totransform into a dragon. This transformation is only possible when no armor is equipped and lasts until the next death. Priestess Heart is reusable and will not be consumed.
Completing theDomain of Dragons Painting puzzlerewards players with the Rock Heart, which, similar to the Priestess Heart, can be used to transform into a dragon, only of a different type. This item is unrelated to the Dragon Priestess questline.
Dragon Priestess Quest Alternative Ending
There is another possible ending for the Dragon Priestess that requires following the steps below.
If done correctly, the Dragon Priestess will remain alive, forgoing her former ties to the Dragonlord and choosing the Tarnished (you) as her new master. Players will receive the following rewards:
Thiollier’s Concoction is a potent aphrodisiac that can put even dragons to sleep, but mortals die if they drink it. This Concoction can be obtained by choosing the correct dialogue option during Thiollier’s questline. Details can befound here.
Whether or not players completeIgon’s questline and summon him during the fight against Bayle has no bearing on the completion of the Dragon Priestess questline. All the Dragon Priestess demands is that Bayle be defeated; Igon is not a part of it. However, it is recommended playersundertake Igon’s questat the same time, as both missions have the same objective and can be completed at the same time.
