Elden Ring - The new biggest dragon

- Somewhat surprisingly, this has been one of the most requested topics viewers have asked for since the DLC was released. There's just something about an especially big lizard that people particularly enjoy.

Since I didn't want to retread information I'd done in earlier videos, I skimmed over some specifics. If you're curious about things like Greyoll or the Archdragon from Dark Souls III, here are the previous two videos on the same topic:

Given its proximity to the location Charo's Hidden Grave, I've seen some people speculate the dragon itself might be Charo. Unfortunately, there's no obvious way to confirm or rule this out, and there are other potential candidates as well, so we're stuck with it just being an unknown entity for the foreseeable future.
If the dragon *is* Charo, it'd be very hard to hide their grave...
I would wager that perhaps that it is Not Charo, on account of the near-400m dragon’s grave being quite un-hidden lol
I wonder if its related to the big mother dragon at greyolls dragonbarrow, since the overlayed maps people have been doing show both their locations to be very close to one another
@@duncanwalker1717could as be why the are is name hidden grave as is people spend hours looking for it never realising it is the dragon itself
My memory may be foggy, but isn't the giant dragon supposed to be the dragon communion priestess right below it? I remember reading something about that giant dragon leaving their body and taking on a more human form to aid in the defeat of Bayle. The priestess also disappears after Bayle is defeated.
Can't wait for Armored Core 7 to introduce the 3 km long Mecha-dragon.
He would be gimenasouses
Just throw Shin Getter Dragon in to Armored Core 7 because why the hell not
You do realize that 3km is nothing in armored Core right?
arms fort dragon when?
Still would be the biggest from soft dragon
Next game we’re gonna a just have a dungeon that’s the insides of a dragon
a dragon dragon!
This is actually a super cool concept 😮
Dungeons in Dragons
A dungeon built inside the corpse of a massive dragon sounds pretty sick, not gonna lie

But it's the most beautiful noodle with some of the most beautiful vibes ever.
eastern vs western dragons in a nutshell. Western have always been infintely more terrifying
@@joesheridan9451 In fairness, eastern dragons are mostly weather deities and tend to be neutral if not actively benevolent, while western dragons are mostly evil or are amoral in the manner of a mindless animal. They're similar enough to share a common name, but their narrative roles in the mythologies that spawned them are quite distinct.
@@joesheridan9451 Because in the east dragons are a benevolent symbol, while in the west their association with serpents, considered by Christianity to be Satanic, made them seem demonic in nature.
It's an eastern dragon. To me those are more elegant and cool looking. Eastern dragons used to be divine beings/deities. Where western dragons look fierce and portrayed as evil. PS: From where I belong there's no dragon in our mythology so I can compare both ig?
The health of Fromsoft as a studio can be measured by the size of their dragons.
lmao good one
CURSE YOU.... BAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLE
I am calling it right now the next Fromsoft game is going to happen on a dragon with "underground areas" being just the kingdom he swallowed
That's a sick cool idea.
The entrance would look like a "cave" but is actually the mouth of a massive dragon
@@dardardarnerand the exit would be his rear
@@Drakuma35 and it gets smellier the further in u go
One of the locales of Monster Hunter World is made of the skeleton of a colossal monster, a Dalamadur. `t's pretty neat.

I saw his open mouth from far away, but I was so disappointed to see his insides aren't accessible, would have been a cool area I think

We should be glad we can't, because they're probably all rotting away. Meaning that it would most likely end up being another poisonous swamp-cave. :(
@@strcmdrbookwyrmMiyazaki: Write that down, write that down!
@@CorzokoV- vore..?
My favourite detail about this giant dragon is how its very blood seems to have soaked into the environment, creating the crimson biome right next to the cerulean one
I was noticing the color change and thinking "oh wait that's alotta blood😮"
That's a cool idea, but not what they were going for, I'm pretty sure. If you look closely at the flowers in the red region, they're not just red recolors of the blue flowers, they're spider lilies, a flower associated with horror and used as a symbol for death and mourning. Considering the area, I think that's more the intent.
i like how there's the area with red flowers, then one with blue, and then further down st trinas area is purple
My favorite part of Zullie videos is knowing that eventually a small question I had on a playthrough will get answered in some way with some great music!
Exactly, the moment I saw this bad boy on a first-feel stream. I knew Zulie would deliver. Glad to see my estimate ended up correct. I knew he had to be larger. Even tho, without being able to see the whole model, one could only speculate.
@@MaledictGamingSame, I instinctively say to myself that Zullie better be covering this immediately when I saw this dragon
Literally asked Zullie to cover it last video and they delivered!
For those wondering, the music is the Lanayru Desert music from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Skyward Sword OST goes insane
I was so excited when I noticed the dragon basically drawn on the map. It also made me a lot more comfortable standing in its mouth, noticing I was the same size a a single tooth, and then exploring the rest of the body for items.
yeah it tells you that no actualyl this beast will NOT be moving any time soon :D
Like standing next to one of those dinosaur statues at a dinosaur park or a zoo with a dinosaur section.
Someone actually had the balls to shoot some HARPOOOOOONS at this thing.
And then finding no items because the mountain is empty lmao
Imagine if the map was a ploy to make you think it was static then it woke up when you got close
We thought the way to Miyazaki's heart was feet and poison swamps, but his true passion is big, honking dragons.
What if it's actually dragons with big honkers?
Imagine what his personal Elden Ring version hides!
Bad Dragon
Can't blame 'em. Chonky dragons are great :3
poison swamp inside a giant rotting dragon corpse.
Damn, this kinda make the rivalry between Placidusax/Bayle even more epic because both are the progenitors of ancient dragon/drake.
And since Bayle is like the Grandpappy of the Drakes, WHO THE HELL GAVE BIRTH TO THAT GIANT MONSTER? And if it’s his child, he got some powerful baby batter jesus christ.
@@lewwaz9756 maybe greyoll since shes the mother of all dragons?
@@giacomofazio7150 that is a great point, bayle tapped that and she got scarlet rot and he never replied
I like to think that From's team watches Zullie and everytime she makes a "big dragon" video they feel personally challenged to make an even bigger Dragon.
That’s great one day from will make a dragon as big as jormungandr
The next game's DLC will just take place on the back of one massive dragon, who is also the final boss.
CUUUURSE YOUUUU ZULLIE!

On the wing of the dragon, you can find a ‘dragon communion harpoon’, the only other way to get this is from crafting from ‘igon’s cookbook[1]’
Added to that, Igon has access to the ‘greyolls roar’ incantation. whilst we are the ones who kill greyoll, that tells me he obtained it from defeating a similarly large dragon
Not only that but the description of the dragon hunters great katana says that the Ancient dragon man was once an ‘arbiter’ of who could face Bayle. Meaning that someone had to prove themselves worthy of facing bayle before fighting him.
Just a theory, but I think our boy Igon was the one who took out this Super-drake. If true it only further cements his legendary status as Bayle-hating gigachad
This dragon is killed by a huge piece of rock that sticks out of the back of its neck.
@@jdjoon yeah, but who put that huge piece of rock in its neck in the first place? you think the dragon just fell on it accidentally?
I figured the dragon's name was Charo, considering the area name of where we find it(charo's hidden grave) and the fact that its the site of a massive dead dragon, but i probably am missing some lore context.
I also believe this.
I saw It was pierced in the head by a giant spear, who do you think killed it?
@@kianhrenak honestly i figured bayle and the jagged peak drakes killed it, like the rest of the dragon corpses, i've assumed they're all cannibals that devour one another for strength, hence why the heart is missing on Charo/unnamed dragon, i assumed bayle ate it.
The only problem is, I doesn't feel like much of a hidden grave...
Unless it's being hidden by its size as opposed to the other way around.
@@alyseleem2692 i didnt discover the area till way late in the DLC so maybe thats why it felt more "hidden" to me lol, kept seeing the giant dragon corpse area and wondered how to get there.
Can't wait for the next game/dlc to have an even bigger dragon
The whole map is the dragon
Yeah imagine a world where they live on a dragon be crazy.
The universe is held on the back of a dragon...
why is he smiling?
WHAT DOES HE KNOW?!
Can't wait for the bigger than The Milky Way dragon
Turtle-dragon discworld
My first thought upon seeing the giant dragon corpse was "Is it bigger than Gransax?" and Zullie didn't disappoint
Elden Ring: this is Gransax, greatest dragon. Unfortunately, he is dead, but have name and lore
SotE: just random dragon corpse have size more that any dragons at SoulsBorn
Gransaxx also has his very own signature weapon
Is this dragon not Bayle? The Dragon Communion Altar next to it says commune with bayle for learning dragon spells, and it has a large hole in its stomach as if something clawed its way out, which seems like it could be the same size as Bayle the Dread in jagged peak.
@@SlarkeSSC nay
No it's not Bayle. Bayle is at the top of the mountain, alive and well uhh not well.@@SlarkeSSC
@@SlarkeSSC you literality fight bayle in the dlc so no
I love the scaling of sizes in the new DLC, so many MASSIVE places and things ❤
This dlc is just things you know but bigger.
That's what she said
big chungus my beloved
The canonical name of the big dragon is now Chungssax.
in the souls team's design room, there is a dry erase board where ideas for the next entry are written down.
at some point i the past, someone wrote "more poison swamps" and "bigger dragons" in permanent marker on the board.
So you know that plateau where you find one of the furnace golems, a bunch of lightning sheep, and the lightning perfume bottle? If you go to the southern cliff and look straight ahead there’s a MASSIVE dragon skeleton. You can make out the distinct flaws, skull, and part of the wint
I can't find it. Can you tell me the closest site of grace and where I should head?
I'm pretty sure from that location you're just seeing this video's dragon from the north
Next Elden ring dlc: A map thats just made of a dragon
farum azula lol
Or a swamp full of dragons.
They say that SotE will be the first and last dlc for Elden Ring so... No more content for this game 😢
There was a theory recently all over reddit that the map was a dragon
@@xavihc13Guess we will have to wait for Elden Ring 2 for 10 years
Was running over that dragon just yesterday thinking to myself essentially verbatim "Can't wait for Zullie to make a video about this one" and here we are lol. Great work as always
I think my favorite part of this new super dragon is that, as far as i can tell, there is literally no lore on it. Not even a name! Gransax almost leveled a city and left behind a legendary weapon. Greyoll is the mother of all drakes. Placidusax is the Elden Lord of a bygone era. Bayle is a bastard and fuck his lazer beam forever.
Then there's dead superdrake, who is definitely just... there, I guess.
That?
That's Mary. One of Bayle's two baby mamas.
Greyoll's the other one.
There is environmental lore on it. We can see how he died. He died from a titanic harpoon being lodged into the back of its head. The harpoon bears the appearance of jagged stone, and has a smooth groove running down its middle, as if it was meant for a contraption rather than a giant hand.
The nature of the giant harpoon, the texture of it, is reminiscent of something you'd see in Farum Azula, so a wild guess would be that the giant dragon was killed by a weapon made and possibly launched from Farum Azula.
My theory is that it's Bayless wife 💀
Could be Charo since Charo's hidden grave is hidden behind the corpse, full of red flowers that possibly got their color from all the dragon blood
I thought it was the discarded flesh of the dragon priestess lady when she took on a human form
One day, we'll get a full blown Shadow of the Colossus moment against one of these absolute units. Running along the dragon's back mid-flight, dodging lightning bolts, platforming around its scales to stay grounded as the dragon swoops and turns in an attempt to shake you off, attacking the horns and spikes along its back to deal damage. One day.
Damn that's a crazy ass dragon. I wonder if we will ever be given such ginormous dragons to fight? It would be terrifying.
And unfun to fight
The most terrifying thing about that would be the camera
These two replies are the realest shit ever
Your GPU: yep that would be terrifying
Camera man: I agree
At that point, just play Monster Hunter.
The Next soulsborne just gonna be xenoblade chronicle on a dragon if this continues
Ah man now I want to play xenoblade chronicles X again 😞
@@cloudbloom based
@@cloudbloom Now imagine a Xenobalde X sequel , but the Skells function and can be customized like Armored Core
imagine that as a twist though, you get to the edge of the map and look dwon and just see an eye
Given how amazing the world design is in both from software games and monolift soft games if the two joined together who knows what crazy beautiful stuff we would get out of that.
to think there are dragons in ER that make Bayle and Placidusax look like the Mist Noble. pretty terrifying to picture dragons THAT big at full power. I do wonder whether, despite his diminutive size in comparison, Placidusax would still beat both Gransax and this huge, unnamed dragon in fights given his title as Dragonlord
We learn in the DLC that Placidusax doesn't even consider creatures like this to be real dragons. He declared that they should all be hunted for sport and have their hearts eaten.
I also believe much like our tarnished and many other character of human size can take on colossal enemies, Placidusax being Elden Lord would be able to hunt those giant dragons with relative ease
Funnily enough these big dragons are (lore wise) probably far weaker than Bayle and Placidusax
The big dragon is killed by a big stone spear that looks like the Cragblade you get from Placi’s remembrance so it might’ve even been personally killed by Placidusax
@@riccardomiglietta7953 something I didn't realise was that Bayle is responsible for all the dead dragons in the jagged peak, ,presumably also this one. so yeah this tracks
@@LucDeTruccoulda been sennasax too considering hes up the hill , and ancient dragons hunt the lessers for sport
One thing that’s cool about FromSoft games is how they’re always long after the biggest powers are past their prime. To the point that this probably legendary Dragon is just a landmark on the map.
Hell yeah
This dragon takes up a non-negligable amount of the entire map, really nuts
I'm most looking forward to some good camera angles on the entire shadow lands map, to get a sense of the immense verticality. The abyssal woods, how tall vs wide the map is, etc. Seeing this video just got me excited to see how the dragon looks in comparison to the whole island
Also please please please, if you can spare the time, can you figure out how deep the abyssal woods is below sea level?
Thanks for all you do!
CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEE!!!!
I HEREBY VOW!!!!!
YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!
Imagine seeing something like 1:34 in a future From game. Literally just walking up a steep hill/cliff, and a health bar pops up just before the reaching the peak. Or worse, it starts talking to you
ok hear me out: what if we have to *fight* a poison swamp. like the entire swamp.
@@screetchycello ik you joke, but actually tho😂 Say it's an outer god and call it a day
also interesting is we now have a defined difference between drakes, and their relation to arcane, and ancient dragons, who draw their power from faith. Also curious if all those dragon corpses are from infighting among the drakes, or from a combined assault against the traitor to plaucidusax.
either way, fun lore.
This. I have been waiting since week 1 of ER to understand why there are drakes and dragons and how the hell they got so different. Learning about the 2 lineages was awesome. Also makes me curious about how the drakes tend to absorb elements that they eat/surround themeselves with - Ekzykes, Smarag, Adula and Borealis all gain new breath attacks and essentially bodily infusions of their new environment, but Ancient Dragons only wield lightning. Fortissax clearly shows some capability to adapt to new threats, though.
I think the corpses being a mix suggest a combined assault from the Ancient Dragons, being rebuffed by the Jagged Peak Drakes, who likely hold some loyalty to Bayle. It's possible that when the assault failed, the Drakes then turned on each other, perhaps?
I assumed all the corpses are from that one ancient dragon before you fight bayle. Cos that rare gravel stone you get from the corpses says it comes from an ancient dragon preying on drakes.
Or it's Bayle killing them cos not sure if he counts as an ancient dragon or not really even though he is the oldest drake
@@joesheridan9451i think it was sennasax since bayle dosent really match the features of a ancient dragon
What's crazier than the huge dragon is the giant arrow stuck in it. According to the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, that arrow was the weapon of the "old gods," at least one of whom was clearly on Placidusax's side in the conflict between the drakes and ancient dragons.
Yeah it is crazy to image who or what killed it. Only the full might of Leyndell Royal Capital managed to bring down Gransax.
@@slender_snake My guess is an outer god
"babe, wake up, new biggest dragon just dropped"
Both you and Vaat add so much to an already great game. I love the details you find, and it just makes me appreciate the game so much more. Thanks.
Thanks for all your awesome videos Zullie! I look forward to what else you unearth in the DLC. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for all the work you do with all this stuff, very interesting.
Literally everyone saw that dragon at jagged peak and instantly thought of zullie
These videos are S tier, so informative and you go so deep using tools i didnt think were widely available.
Gransax dethroned. Clever work as always, Zullie.
Forget Meters or Foot, Zullie using Ancient Dragons as a scale.
Anything but the metric system
Your videos keep making me replay Skyward Sword
I think the giant dead dragon in the expansion is Charo. Red flowers on its trail signifies that a blood was spilled there. There is a recurring concept of flowers sprouting from a blood such is the case with Miquella, Trina, and drake warriors.
The next game will take place entirely on a dragon.
And somehow this giant freak is a descendant of Bayle, who is tiny in comparison. Poor Greyoll...
I'd assume the lore accurate size of Bayle and Placidusax is closer to Granssax and "Charo", Fromsoft made them smaller for gameplay reasons.
I was actually dissapointed when I first saw bayle cos they really built him up to be this ultimate black dragon and I was getting heavy balerion and the one form silmarillion vibes. But he is a cool dragon in the end none the less
@@joesheridan9451 I think there are a lot of positives there in terms of mechanics. I haaaated Midir. It was annoying as hell waiting for him to stop lumbering around so I could hit him in the head once before he started doing it again.
Bayle meanwhile is quite aggressive and doesn't spend half the fight running away from you.
But that does make him kinda easy in the end. I one shot him on my second playthrough of the DLC and I wasn't even trying.
Maybe it's just inevitable that dragons and other large monsters are always going to be a weak point due to From's combat system?
@@joesheridan9451 My head canon is that dragons, gods and other powerful beings shrink in size after being significantly weakened. I like to think that both Bayle and Placidusax were colossal too before their feud lol
@@rainbowkrampus No I way prefer midir in every aspect. Still the best dragon boss they've done.
DS3 bosses in general are better
Wow the idea to scale up the similar relatives is so clever! Love ya work Zullie!
Absolutely love the Zelda music in all of your videos
If only we could measure with the mountain dragon in Dark Souls 3
I have measured the Archdragon before, it's not as big as you may think:

That shot of Zullie just standing on Gransax's snoot is epic.
Awesome video, thanks for the scaling work. Was really cool to see it in game like that
Wow insane discovery! And very nice touch with the Zelda Skyward Sword music in the background 😊
He a big boi for sure
"There's always a bigger dragon.."
I’ve been waiting for this to drop, thank you Zullie!
The fact Drakes have such big heads made this guy REALLY terrifying and breathtaking to see for the first time.
Well, that settles it. The next From game will just have to be entirely on the back of a dragon.
I didn't even notice the dragon on the map im blind i guess
How? I was inspecting every inch of the map to find things
as SOON as i saw that dragon, i was so hyped for this video. for the first time ever, i even requested a video, and here it is. thank you zullie for all the amazing content you put out!
I'd been hoping for a video on this thing! Thanks, Zullie.
I love how big the dragons get in ER. Greyoll, Gransax, and this one.
Not to forget, the dragon was killed by bayle,
And another detail I think needs mentioning is the giant stone pillar sticking out of the giant-drake.
1. Did bayle impale the drake over the pillar?
2. Did bayle pick up the pillar and "rules of nature" it at the drake?
Plus, the pillar isn't some sort of dragon stone, it's got details on it
i don't think Bayle killed that dragon - there is no lore or item or
dialogue to say who the dragon was or who killed it - but the stone thing is
like a huge lance piercing it. So i'm thinking it wasn't Bayle.
Are we sure it was Bayle who killed it? I figured it was an ancient dragon or a communion knight, given that it's a drake and that the Grand Altar of Communion is right next to it.
I was waiting for this video!
Thanks, zullie
Love the music you use ❤️
Any chance we could get a video with the lands of shadow map overlayed with the lands between?
Crazy to think that even this colossal dragons where no match for Bayle or Placidussax
As soon as I heard the music I got a huge flashback of skyward sword, thank you lol I love that game
0:27 Zullie flexing how easily she made it up there without the Spectral Steed 🤔😎
And wow, that Ancient Dragon is *terrifying* at that size 1:30 😳 Wonder if we'll ever get a Dragon Boss Fight that big...
I love tearing hair out trying to decide if fromsoft add shit just for the sake of being cool or if there’s actual narrative significance
Demons souls dragon god could still one punch it
This is beautiful. Thank you.
all it takes is one single sentence or one single 3d model to feed the souls lore community for a month
I had been avoiding Zullie’s videos until I got the chance to play the DLC myself
then realized I basically played the entire Dark Souls trilogy without knowing what the hell was going on anyway
Love your videos. You are doing great job.
been waiting for this video ever since i got the DLC
We all knew this video was coming. Awesome as always!
Found this yesterday! Was looking forward to your vid
FromSoftware: I'ma gonna add a terrifying big ass dragon
Zullie: _stretches_ _it_
It’s believed that that dragons name is Charo. There’s an area behind that dragon obviously named “Charos Hidden Grave”, could be a reference to which the dragon now rests and guards entry. The back of the dragon is impaled by which seems to be a large spike or a harpoon, something you can read the description of the one you get nearby! Pretty interesting
When I first saw it I knew this was gonna be a vid and couldn’t wait!!!
Seeing that thing on the map made my jaw drop. I knew you were going to make this video!
Since I've discovered this dragon I've been waiting for this video.
The absolute madman actually did measure the dragon across the others.
And me as a Monster Hunter player: *Joe Swanson voice* BRING IT ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
Short and to the point, as always!
As soon as I saw that dragon on the map, I wondered when your video would come out comparing it to the other dragons. It's kinda funny to see FromSoft locked in a constant cycle of oneupmanship with itself. :)
Greyoll must be so proud
I love how Zullie can go from “these hidden intricate details I data-mined from the game have deep implications to the lore” to “lol checkout how big this dragon is”
i saw it and instantly knew i would see a video about it
I was waiting for this video ever since I laid eyes on the massive beast.
1:33 absolute brass ones on those two eagles just sitting their like it's no issue
I’ve been waiting for this video since the dlc released 😭
Love these dragon vids
Literally the best channel in the souls community.
wonderful song choice :3
Oooo I would love to see you do more screwing around with Dragon God like you did in this video.
I've always wanted to see people spawn him outside his arena so now I just feel blue-balled.
It ended up being much more annoying to get that shot than I expected, I spent like three hours troubleshooting for nine seconds of footage.
@@ZullietheWitchI was wondering how much of a PITA that was to get lol
