Elden Ring has many areas for players to explore, some harder to get to than others, and some hidden.
Elden Ring has finally arrived much to the elation of FromSoftware fans from around the world. The newest entry in Hidetaka Miyazaki’s incredibly infamous gaming repertoire has quickly became regarded as one of the best games ever made by some reviewers.
Elden Ring and most FromSoftware titles in general are often praised for the uniqueness of their world and how players have to be aware, so they do not miss anything. This is even more true in Elden Ring, the vast open world can deceive many players with what, in fact, could be regarded as one of the most in-depth open worlds ever made. Due to this, players may miss a vast array of locations, abilities and more. One such area is; The Church Of Dragon Communion.
In this area, players will be able to access some of the more unique abilities in Elden Ring. Once players kill one of the many Dragons scattered across The Lands Between, players will be able to exchange their Dragon Hearts for various abilities such as Dragonfire, Dragonclaw and Dragonmaw.
Dragonfire serves as a powerful AOE fire breath attack, whilst Dragonclaw drags colossal claws across the ground in a wide arc. Dragonmaw serves as an incredibly powerful bite attack that carves through enemies.
Player Characters of High Faith and High Arcane will be the only ones able to use these abilities, so you may not get the chance this time around for all of you melee players out there. However, the area around the Church is also scattered with a variety of materials that players will be able to use for crafting, so it is not completely useless.
To find your way to The Church of Dragon Communion is a little complex. If you start from the Church of Elleh you should very carefully make your way towards the beach, minding that you do not leap to your death, nor meet your end at the sword or wide swing of a giant. Whilst on the beach you should head southwards down the beach until you reach a dark spot in the cliff face. This is the Coastal Cave.
Players should avoid attempting to swim to the island… you can’t… you will die. Once you reach the coastal cave, enter and activate that lost grace. You now have that on the map and can return to it whenever you wish.
When you are in the coastal cave, I highly advise that you either have a torch in your offhand or have purchased a lantern from the merchant in Liurnia of The Lakes. Either way it is pitch black and you will have to be careful of enemies approaching you.
As you push through the minor cave, you will be beset by the dungeon bosses. Demi-Human Chiefs and their minions. Be careful of their insanely quick and relentless attacks, if you have access to any of the summons available in Elden Ring this would be a perfect time to use them as they distract from the enemies as you strike from behind.
After defeating the two bosses and gaining the sewing needle alongside some tailoring tools, push through the cave until eventually you will find yourself on the outside of the cave. You are now on the island with The Church of Dragon Communion. Some players have reported issues regarding the menu appearing on the altar in the church, if you examine the altar and no menu appears, activate the lost grace site outside of the church and rest until morning and that should solve the issue.
Congratulations! You can now access you’re very own Dragon Abilities.
