Leyndell, Royal Capital General Tips

Stay mounted while fighting the sentinel

You won't be able to enter Leyndell without defeating the Draconic Tree Sentinel. It would be easier to fight this boss on horseback so you can quickly dodge its attacks. You can also use a Spirit Summon to draw aggro while you attack the sentinel from behind.

How to Beat Draconic Tree Sentinel

Attack Godfey at the end of his combos

Godfrey's attacks are quite slow but they hit really hard. Focus on dodging his attacks until he finishes their animations before landing a few hits in. You can also use Spirit Summons to draw Godfrey's aggro and give you more chances of dishing out damage.

Boss Fight Strategy for Morgott

Some attack patterns are similiar with Margit's

Morgott's attack patterns are quite similar to the ones Margit the Fell Omen uses. However, some of Morgott's attacks have longer delays and the intervals between his attack animations are short.

How to Beat Morgott, the Omen King

Summon Melina outside the boss area

You can opt to have Melina's aid during the fight by interacting with the summon sign outside the boss area. Melina can tank Morgott's attacks while you strike from a safe spot and can also heal you using her own spell, easing up the fight significantly.

Get the Viridian Amber Medallion

Get the Blessed Dew Talisman

The Blessed Dew Talisman is a neat talisman found within Leyndell that gradually restores HP while equipped. You can actually obtain this early in the game by opening a transporter chest on top of the Tower of Return in Weeping Peninsula.

Opening the chest will warp you straight to the Divine Bridge, where you can find the chest containing the talisman and a sleeping golem in the area past the Site of Grace.

Restore Morgott's Great Rune

After defeating Morgott, you can bring his Great Rune to the Divine Tower of East Altus, located east of the Royal Capital, to restore the rune's power.

Follow the bridge east of the capital until you reach the lift that takes you to the Forbidden Lands, but instead of riding the lift down, turn right and make your way to the end of the path until you reach the Divine Tower.

What Are Great Runes?

Fight the Fell Twins along the way

Before you reach the Divine Tower, you'll be forced to fight the Fell Twins. Only after beating them can you pass through the bridge and restore the Great Rune.

Advance Dung Eater's questline
