Glintstone Dragon Smarag is a great boss in Elden Ring .
Glintstone Dragon Smarag is a dragon whose scales have turned to glittering glintstone. It sleeps beside a rocky island in the lake of Liurnia , west of the Academy of Raya Lucaria . Beside it lies a dead sorcerer who carries the first Academy Glintstone Key . Its breath and projectiles deal heavy magic damage, and its body shrugs off sorcery.
Lore Smarag is a great winged dragon covered in jagged, blue formations of glintstone. It breathes streams of sorcerous light and spits glintstone shards from its jaws.
Smarag was a devourer of sorcerers. Over time, the glintstones of those it ate corrupted its body.
It still guards the corpse of a glintstone sorcerer, and the key to the Academy lies in that dead hand.
Where to find Glintstone Dragon Smarag Location? Liurnia of the Lakes , asleep beside a rocky island south of the Crystalline Woods Site of Grace and north of the Temple Quarter

Attacks Glintstone Cometshard: it raises its head and fires a fast magic shard, often twice; sprint diagonally toward it and charge a heavy attack on its lowered snout.
Glintstone Breath Arc: a quick sweep of magic breath at medium range; run toward its flank.
Glintstone Breath Stream: a slow, long stream of magic breath; ride or run across it toward the dragon.
Flying Breath: it takes off and sprays glintstone across the ground; sprint or ride away at once.
Stomps and Bites: close range stomps and lunging bites; stay near its back legs and roll the bites.
Wing and Tail Sweeps: it sweeps the ground with its wings or spins with its tail; back away from the sweep. Tactics Ride Torrent to dodge its breath and to close the gap when it flies off.
Hit its forearms and legs until it collapses, then land a critical hit on the head.
Use charged attacks, which land easily on its large body even from horseback.
Wear armor with high magic and physical defense, since its breath is pure magic.
Sorcerers should switch to physical spells such as Rock Sling , because magic barely hurts it.
Lead the fight away from the Teardrop Scarabs, which refill flasks when killed. Best Builds Spear with anti-dragon grease Dragons take extra damage from piercing attacks and from Dragonwound Grease .
Physical sorcery Its glintstone hide resists magic, so gravity and meteor spells that deal physical damage work best.
Tank spirit and magic armor A sturdy summon and magic-proof armor soak up its breath while damage lands.
