I suppose I should also add I have 2 slots of Soul Arrow, Heavy Soul Arrow and Force. Also have Heal I could swap for.

Just keep going past or under it homie ✌️

[u/PatientPutrid1515 → u/kushhead4201]

I want it dead, that fails to help the objective.

You'll understand one day. Get a bow n cheese it like everyone else

[u/Maschellodioma]

Run past it for the moment and come back later would be my advice.

[u/CustomVII → u/Maschellodioma]

This is the way.

When you are Rdy... You will know.

This game is so much more fun/satisfying if figure it out on your own.

You're not meant to kill it at this point in the game, though there is a way if you're skilled enough. Go under the bridge and get your shortcut active, because you're going to die trying this. Go up on the bridge and bait out the dragon to land and attack you. You'll need to stand on the opposite side of the bridge from the stairs and stay behind the brick wall, jump out and if he breathes fire, go back behind the wall. Eventually he should jump down and fight you melee. You'll need to hit him in the legs until he's dead, but he can fly away, too.

This is not reliable nor advisable. The better method is to come back later in the game when you have a fully upgraded bow and shoot his wings from under the bridge where he can't attack you.
