Complete the Priestess' Questline Without Using the Concoction

The Flowerstone Gavel is one of the rewards obtained if you complete the Dragon Communion Priestess Questline without giving her Thioller's Concoction. She will leave these rewards for you after you defeat Bayle the Dread.

How to Get the Flowerstone Gavel
1
Go to the Dragon's Pit and defeat the Ancient Dragon-Man to unlock the Jagged Peak. To reach the dungeon, head south east from the Castle Front site of grace. As soon as you reach the Pillar Path Waypoint site of grace, head south, following the road guarded by Grave Birds and an Invader.
2
From the Dragon Pit's Terminus (site of grace past the Dragon's Pit boss room), make your way east until you encounter a sleeping Jagged Peak Drake. From its basin, head south (you can skip the fight) in order to reach the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion.
3 Speak to the Dragon Communion Priestess next to the grand altar and devour the dragon essence that she offers. Exhaust any dialogue she has before moving on.
4 Defeat Bayle the Dread atop the Jagged Peak.
5 Return to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion and pick up both the Flowerstone Gavel and the Priestess Heart that she leaves behind.
