The quest requires collecting three Champion's essences in Treviso, Arlathan Forest, and Hossberg Wetlands to unlock a blighted gate in the Crossroads that leads to a fight with a Revenant.

Sucecessfully convincing Mythal will count as conquering a High Dragon, as she has a dragon form the players can fight. Failing to convince her or selecting the option to fight her will lead to a confrontation with her High Dragon form, Mythal's Retribution.
After convincing Mythal in the Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest, she can assist Rook and the party when fighting against the Revenant Dragon during the Heart of Corruption.
How to Convince Mythal: All Mythal Answers
High Dragons have a weak point indicated by a purplish-pink glow that constantly shifts around in the fight. It may show on its front legs, hind legs, or on its head, and often appears when an attack related to the weak spot will occur.
When a dragon takes starts to take off, its hind legs tend to contain the weak spot, and will allow a small window of dealing damage before taking flight and rendering itself untargetable.
Successfully filling a dragon's stagger bar will not make them susceptible to a takedown, but will instead knock them down and leave them vulnerable to attacks. When staggered, a weakpoint will appear in the dragon's heart and will take significantly higher damage from attacks.
High Dragons often offer the most challenging fights in the whole franchise regardless of the difficulty set. High Dragons mainly appear as bosses in side quests, often the climactic boss fight in a long questline.
