Jagged Peak Drake Weaknesses

Piercing Attacks are Most Effective

Similar to other dragon-type enemies, the Jagged Peak Drake is vulnerable to pierce-type damage. We recommend using your strongest weapon under the Spear, Great Spear, Thrusting Sword, or Heavy Thrusting Sword class against it.

Since you can do a critical hit against the drake once it's staggered, Great Spears and Heavy Thrusting Swords are better choices due to their ability to deal more Poise damage per hit.

Weak to Dragonslayer Weapons

As a drake-type enemy, the Jagged Peak Drake also takes bonus damage to attacks with Dragonslaying effects.

We recommend weapons such as the Dragon King's Cragblade as well as the Dragon Hunter's Great Katana to exloit the drake's weakness to dragonslaying attacks.

Jagged Peak General Tips

Tips for Beating Jagged Peak Drake
Use Torrent to Hit and Run Wait for its Fire-Breath Ground Attack Use Spirit Ashes

Use Torrent to Hit and Run

As the Jagged Peak Drake is fighting in a massive battlefield, taking advantage of Torrent to hit and run is a good strategy, as instead of having to dodge the Drake's attacks, you can just outrun them entirely.

Wait for its Fire-Breath Ground Attack

One of the Jagged Peak Drake's deadliest moves also happens to be the one that exposes it the longest.

When you see the Drake preparing to let out its Flame-Breath, immediately use Torrent to circle around him and dismount to repeatedly attack him. You should be able to get a few hits in before the Drake recovers.

Use Spirit Ashes

You are able to summon your Spirit Ash companion to assist you in this fight, and it is generally recommended to do so as any extra tick of damage helps when fighting a colossal, yet mobile opponents.

If Fighting the Drake Duo, Use the Other Drake as Bait

When approaching the Jagged Peak Drake Duo, you will notice that they will already be in combat. The other Drake will generally not engage the player unless they accidentally strike them, and will usually die to the main Drake.

As the other Drake is a non-hostile, use them as an extra damage source or even just to soak up aggro so that you can circle around with Torrent and get a few good hits in.
