To beat the Elden Ring Dragonlord Placidusax boss fight, first you need to narrow down the incredibly hidden location in Crumbling Farum Azula, and then you need to work out how to slay the storm-wielding king of dragons. Arguably the deadliest dragon in all of Elden Ring, Placidusax uses deadly lightning abilities to blast the tarnished - and bite you with either of the two heads.
Dragonlord Placidusax offers some powerful rewards and a great boss fight for the late game, but he's also instrumental if you're hoping to find Miquella's Needle after the Elden Ring Millicent questline, you don't actually need to kill him, just find him.
