Many Elden Ring players are wondering if they should kill the Giant Dragon or let him live. After all, he’s pretty docile and doesn’t cause much trouble. If this question is bugging you as well, keep on reading this guide to learn the answer.
Should I kill the Giant Dragon in Elden Ring?
You should definitely kill the Giant Dragon in Elden Ring. Killing him will reward you with 74,000 Runes and 5 Dragon Hearts that you can use to level up your character. The dragon is located outside Fort Faroth in the Caelid region.
Is the Giant Dragon hard to kill in Elden Ring?
The Giant Dragon has a lot of HP but is vulnerable to bleeding. Use a weapon that deals a great deal of Bleed damage such as the the Rivers of Blood Katana. Keep on chipping away at the dragon’s HP but don’t attack the head. The dragon won’t fight back as long as you don’t hit the head.
The moment you hit his head, he’ll start roaring, waking up the other sleeping dragons. They’ll immediately attack you and try to kill you. The roar of the Giant Dragon will also lower your attack and defense.
Did you manage to kill the Giant Dragon without waking up too many little dragons? Let me know in the comments below.

I killed him without any issues from him or other dragons. Just warp to the grace that is behind him and in front of Fort Faroth. Then go to his back side and wack away! It definitely took some time since I’m still pretty early in the game, but simple none the less! Happy hunting!
Bleed is love, even with a basic 0 level bleed weapon (Forket hatched), you will kill it in meer minutes, cheers!
Just attack his tail and he won’t wake up! Easy points. Does weigh on the heart though.
