All Elden Ring Dragon Locations: Explained

Dragons are always cool but an Elden Ring dragon is something else. Aside from fighting tough bosses, you can explore the Lands Between and find dragon locations in Elden Ring. These visually stunning yet frightening creatures offer great rewards as most of the dragons drop a valuable item called Dragon Heart when they are slain. You can use these Dragon Hearts to get strong spells called Dragon Incantations at the Church of Dragon Communion and the Cathedral of Dragon Communion.

But before you cast spells with Dragon Hearts, you have to find these massive firebreathing lizards first. Here is a list of all the dragon locations in Elden Ring and what you get for defeating the bosses within.
