You can find the Dragonkin Soldier if you keep traveling onwards to the Siofra River. The closest you can get to it is by going through Worshipper’s Woods Site of Grace. You can also reach Siofra River Well from the east side of Mistwood. Once you are there, take the elevator downwards then head east till you reach a large lake area that has a staircase. You will also find the Siofra River East Waygate on top of a fallen pillar here in the woods, which you will use to transport towards the Dragonkin Soldier’s lair.
To defeat the Dragonkin Soldier, you can attack it on foot and horseback. Try to avoid getting too close to it, as it can swing its arms to knock you out or slam it on the ground. It can also reach out, drag its arm across the ground before pulling up. Though these attacks are quite basic, they can still pack a punch.
- The best way to attack it is on horseback. Keep waiting till the boss has done its attack, then aim for the legs with your melee weapon. Attack there then withdraw.
- Usually, it will take time for the Dragonkin Soldier to recover from the uppercut or slam attacks, so you can use that window to charge at it and take a few swipes.
- If using ranged attacks, keep moving and circling it while using your spells. If you have the Swift Glintstone Shard Spell, this is a good time to use it.
- The Dragonkin Soldier will have a powered-up AOE blast using frost lightning that it will attack within the second stage of the fight. If it starts charging up, it is better to get out of the area as fast as possible.
Once you have it defeated, it will drop Runes and you will get an achievement. You will also get the spell Frozen Lightning Spear. If you check behind where the boss died, you will find a small crypt with a chest that holds a Great Ghost Glovewart, which you can use to upgrade your Spirit of Ash to level 10.
