Flying Dragon Greyll is a great boss in Elden Ring.

Flying Dragon Greyll is a fire-breathing dragon that guards the Farum Greatbridge in Greyoll's Dragonbarrow. The bridge runs south of the Bestial Sanctum, where Gurranq waits. Greyll fights like Agheel of Limgrave, but with more strength and far less room to move. The narrow bridge makes its sweeping fire much harder to escape.

Lore


Greyll is a huge winged dragon that walks on its hind legs and wing joints and breathes streams of fire, the same kind of beast as Agheel.

The dragons that escaped the scarlet rot made their nests on the plateau north of Caelid. The land was named Dragonbarrow, and none dare enter it.

Greyoll, the Elder Dragon, was the mother of all dragons, a looming mountain who dwarfed all before her.

Attacks


  • Dragonfire Arc: a quick sweep of fire at medium range; run toward its flank.
  • Dragonfire Stream: a slow, long stream of fire; ride or run across the stream toward the dragon.
  • Flying Fire: it takes off and sets a strip of the bridge ablaze; sprint or ride away at once.
  • Dragon Dive: it flies up and dives down onto its target; keep moving and roll as it lands.
  • Stomps and Bites: close range stomps and lunging bites; stay near its back legs and jump the shockwaves.
  • Wing and Tail Sweeps: it sweeps the bridge with its wings or spins with its tail; back away from the sweep.

Tactics


  1. Ride Torrent to dash clear of the fire on the narrow bridge.
  2. Snipe from the raised areas overlooking the bridge, where its breath does not reach well.
  3. Stand at the far end of the bridge with arrows and run when it starts a long range fire attack.
  4. Aim for the head, which takes extra damage.
  5. Summon sturdy Spirit Ashes to hold its attention.
