Dragonlord Placidusax Cheese - NO FIGHT GUARANTEED - (Patch 1.14 Tested)- Elden Ring

[@miked7295]

As of January 2024, still works. Way easier than all the other cheeses that only work for certain builds.

[@PhillpB]

Still works July 2024. Worked with a +7 Latenna. The important rule is (as described in other comments): you must ALWAYS stay closer to the dragon than Latenna is. Also: to avoid lightning strikes: look for red sparks on the ground: they show where the next lightning bolts will hit.

[@ryankeefer825]

I can’t summon for some reason.

[@FlexNiko]

just walking right and left will always prevent hits. just dont stop walking and after a lightning, just change directions

[@snowchld]

After many deaths, tried this and works!

[@bloodmery1576]

u recomend to use a bow to help latenna to kill faster?

[@blagger7664]

I can confirm, this worked like a charm!! Counted 15 graves over, plant Latenna roughly inbetween first and second grave, go back 15 graves, job done, thanks a lot!!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@blagger7664 thanks my friend :)

[@seanoakes2443]

Can confirm this works. 1st try

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@seanoakes2443 Thanks my friend :)

[@ethanedminsten2894]

Latenna is getting absolutely railed by the dragonlord from that spot for me haha

[@K1PPAH]

​@@ethanedminsten2894are you standing by her? It shouldn't even acknowledge her if you're in front of it.

[@Nikothegreatish]

Can confirm that at present this is the cheese for placi, +7 latenna did judt fine. And when they say the spacing is important, the spacing IS important. I summoned latenna really close to the placement as shown in the video, basically on the same row. However whwn i presumed to start his fight and keeo my pwn distance i made the mistake of being too far back in the row myself, causing placidusax's ai to see latenna as the closest target rather then me. When i saw her health drop i Instantly fixed my position and resumed the dodging and it was a success within minutes. Try not to be TOO low levelled to be 1 shot by the bolt and if you have a shield make sure its lightning affinity so that in case you do get hit your holding a guard and wont die on accident 10 out of freaking 10. Thank you

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :)

[@ericarumugam2118]

This was an incredible cheese! Thank you very much for sharing this it cleared out weeks of frustration in minutes!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

thanks my friend :) glad it helped

[@OneArmedWolfshinobi]

Weeks? Man.. my condolence❤ 1 week was already enough for me to go out of my way to 🧀cheese this freakin dragoon, I tried everything..every ashes possible to give proper, honourable fight. The laser beam was *total BS* of all time💀

[@JustinL186]

What is the point of doing this

[@kevinbellamy1731]

Thank you for posting this. I’d never beaten this boss until today. So happy right now :)

[@vinjatheninja]

I can confirm this cheese still works, you iust have to make sure you dont go back while dodging or he will target latenna and dont go past the first row, i found the easiest way to dodge his attacks was to lock on to him and keep walking to the right to dodge one then the same but to the left for the next and keep repeating that.

[@MAli-sr3rf]

worked

[@CineMatiny]

Just wanted to add in my 2 cents for Faith players. Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike, buffed with Golden Vow, Godfrey's Icon, and Lightning Tear gave me 10k per cast. I killed the dragon in 2 & a half.

[@davidetenti]

Thx❤

[@reeceniccum3755]

Ur a life saver shit worked so well thank you

[@Matheus_h0t]

Bro, you saved me so much!!!! I'm on NG+8 and i was suffering af to even fight properly with my +10 swords, but u made me realize that i already had the ways and the strength to cheese that damn dragon. Thank you.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@MatheusHenrique-qx7rf Thanks my friend. Glad it helped :)

[@katlehomorobe5677]

What were your faith stats for that much power? I’ve been keen to try a faith dex build

[@AndiDrajan]

September 2024 - still works. Best cheese I found so far. Thanks man!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks

[@ninjajewlz]

12/23 this worked perfectly! You have to follow the instructions exactly! My first few attempts I got got, but only because I didn’t stay in the first row, and my summons wasn’t in the exact spot. After watching a few times, and following the tips in the comments, this was easy peasy! Thanks!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Glad it helped!

[@drkennethnoisewater4469]

You need to put Lateena in the SECOND ROW. Then when you get back to your spot, hang in the first row and go back and forth about 3-4 graves. STAY in the first row. Don’t go in. The arena or out to the second row. Very important. I did this with a +7 Lateena and it took a few minutes. GREAT VIDEO MY FRIEND.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks.. :)

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@mr.noname5961 thanks my friend :)

[@PSYCHOxDADxCOMIX]

Thank you. Worked perfectly.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@ALBUNDYxJEFFERSONDARCY thanks bro

[@adashofangel]

Thank you for your video! 😂

[@eltonwaynewilliams4152]

Geez dude, this works great. Probably one of the best ones out there. Straight to the point and no over complicated conditions.

[@SuperCorazonPRLive]

This is genius!! I'm very pleased to say that it worked! Thank you so much

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@SuperCorazonPRLive thanks my friend :)

[@JustinL186]

What's the point of doing this?

[@ryansadios69]

Still works September 2024, had a +10 Latenna. Had no issues and this cheese is definitely the way to go if you’re cheesing, thumbs up!

[@benciske]

Beautiful. Worked for me June 2024. After 40 or so tries I threw in the towel on this beast. Thanks!

[@HarmlessComment]

This worked really well, I basically took all the advice here in the comments and watched the video a few times. Once you get the hang of dodging the attacks it's easy.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

thanks :)

[@taker1292]

Exactly same here

[@Rankbaajin]

Still working today, failed twice because i stood too far back originally and the bow lady got lit up, put her EXACTLY where you did on 3rd attempt and stood very close to pillars and didn't run around, just dodge left and right, bow lady was full health when dragon died. You're a legend, thanks

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend

[@hueycc]

I had it happen twice in a row that Latenna was getting killed, even though I was supposedly drawing the aggro. I think I was spawning her too close, which was in the first tier circle outside the pillars. Once I moved her to the second tier, everything worked great.

[@tennesseeheckler3014]

Tried this today and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@tennesseeheckler3014 thanks :)

[@johnnyyy_wentghost]

This actually worked perfectly. At first my Latenna was getting clapped by lightning but I realized I was standing too far back so he would start to agro on her. Just gotta keep close enough to the pillars so he stays focused on me. Thanks a bunch dude I appreciate ya 🫡

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thnks my friend glad it helped

[@Kejeg15]

Aah finally after 3 hours trying..your cheese technique is really work..thank you so much ❤

[@G-man386]

I found this one of the hardest bosses. This worked perfectly. Thanks so much 👍

[@lyewon]

Thank you 🙏 had to try it a few times and get Latenna’s placement right but once I did, everything worked perfectly. He didn’t even go into the second phase! 🎉 Great video! Thanks again! 👏

[@mrtrennn661]

After 6 hours of trying to defeat this boss I came across your video!! Thank you very much! Worked first try.

[@gullyTKTN]

June 2024 still work but i had to change the side to put LATENA on the right and not far !!! Thank you very much it was the only hardest boss in my opinion and I needed to see this video !!!

[@LuffyTheGodOfEldenRing]

like how many columns far can u tell starting from beginning

[@stena1529]

Hey! I just beat Placidusax less than 5 minutes ago after putting Latenna directly behind him in the third row of the dragon graves. Some lightning bolts do strike behind him occasionally, but in my successful attempt, Latenna did not take any damage in the third row. Hope this helps!

[@smithy456]

Died about 20 times without guide, found your guide and I beat the boss first try. This guide is legendary! Props to you if it was you that discovered this strat!

[@Ca4s0n]

Mine despawned what happened?

[@adambee9975]

Brother this boss was driving me crazy to the point i put the game down for months thank you so much 🎉🎉

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

glad it helped bro :)

[@userxyz783]

Beautiful Sir!!! WellDone!!! Thanks a ton. Worked like a charm. I used rotten helm and shabiri woe just to be safe and keep aggro on my character.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks for the tip my friend :)

[@TheDeeg]

Worked perfectly on NG+1 over 700k runes. Thanks.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Glad it helped :)

[@yondaimerebaixado9351]

It is very useful and still works september 2024!! Thank you for all man

[@omairtajammul]

This worked perfectly even in Aug 2024. Latenna was 9+ and killed him in a few mins. Thanks for this.

[@dmpsy.1]

great video man worked perfectly, thanks!

[@flavio1243]

Thanks for letting us now that this still works

[@henryk5pio]

This is the best CHEESE I've ever seen in a FromSoftware game. Good Job Men!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :)

[@brianlawson8665]

Straight legit.. best guide ever… I left a message for the Latenna spot and if I died somehow, the spot always said “try bow”

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :) I hope your message will guide people :)

[@Jacob-ql1yj]

It's still working, messed it up the first like 6 times but then I finally got him. Thanks a lot!

[@jordan8389]

8/2 still works. You’re my savior, thank you!!

[@TwinkyGlitten]

As of the 9th of March 2024, this still works. Best cheese by far.

[@xylohsilverhair1715]

Very tasty cheese!! Still works as of 10/18/2023. I placed my Latenna in the same spot as the video, but was always having the dragon agro on her and kill her... When I moved her about 120 degrees away from me, and ran back and forth on the first row of graves, the cheese worked just fine. The dragon never touched my Latenna +9. Me: lvl 312 currently. First play through.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Great. Glad it helped :)

[@stupidfuckingidiot]

Thank God I'm not the only one struggling. I felt bad being 145, and dying with me and my mimic/tiche. But seeing you at 312 makes me feel better. Btw, also my first playthrough, and the only other souls game I've ever even touched was Bloodborne, and only got halfway thru that. Guides like this def got me thru my first souls game ever, glad they made this a little more noob friendly. Even with these frustrating bosses.

[@LargeLimpet]

Thank you so much for this. It works 03/01/2024. I'm sure they've made this boss harder in recent patches. In my first playthrough on PS5 I was a dex build with bloodhound fang, and beat him after a few goes. On this run (PS4) I'm arcane focus, but a similar level with dual weild katanas but just cant seem to survive!

[@coiledspringofapathy]

Worked first attempt! - 23 Jun 24 - Ver 1.12 - Post Shadow of Erdtree Patch

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks for confirmation my friend :)

[@the_hessian__]

6/30 - works ps5

[@DredgenFenrir]

9/14/2024 the cheese still works! Thank you for the cheese dude. It worked perfectly!

[@johnbill773]

20/6/24 and it still works like a charm. I tried doing it myself and I goy to 25% health and almost threw my controller and wanted to laugh menacingly at the boss as it faded away slowly

[@heck75nj]

Worked like a charm...all you have to do is run and roll left and right to dodge the lightning. Latenna +10 .Took around 5 minutes. Thanks man.

[@BobLyons]

Worked perfectly first time! YOU ROCK 🤘

[@BobLyons]

Worked again in NG+🎉

[@RDRMM]

I can also confirm this worked on my first try, thank you so much ! I'm currently on NG+2 and fighting Placidusax in this game cycle was already goddamn difficult :).

[@how_to_do_various_acts]

this works im edging to you as we speak

[@flyingnymbus]

Incredible, thank you for your service 🙏🏾

[@2b2c1d2]

Thank you so much bro, i thought i could never defeat this boss, thank you so much

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks bro.. Enjoy :)

[@yeechen1492]

thanks to your video, I found this for my husband who was screaming at the back so his screaming has now stopped thank you

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

😁 thanks. u made my day. This is one of the best comments i have read.

[@pdureska7814]

Thank you so much for this strategy! Took this bastard down first try and no damage. If you can roll you can beat him easily naked.

[@mophmeister1993]

Still works! Absolutely shocking this never got patched. Thank you, he's an absolute nightmare in NG+ for me.

[@themadbassist795]

Just confirming this still works. Took Placidusax down this morning using this cheese!! Much appreciated 😂

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend

[@ALHOW7]

Just did this is August 2024. And can confirm still works. Thanks for this!

[@ayushbihani508]

As of July 2024 can confirm it works just maintain ur distance from him and do everything mentioned in the guide

[@SWITCHwithChristi]

April 2024 still works like a charm! Thank you!!

[@mikep9418]

Such a simple cheese - works a dream. Thank you 😊

[@Heizekel77]

Thanks! Still working 24-10-01 :D

[@SJ47668]

I’m on NG+7 and I’ve never defeat this boss - until today. Out of desperation I came across your bid - worked like a treat. In actual fact - I made it without losing a single health point.

[@johndreyer8271]

june 27th 2024 still works. Make sure you stay on the inner ring of graves face onto the dragon and latenna is on the 2nd ring at 90 degrees to the dragon.. I also used opaline bubble tear and crimson whorl bubble tear in mixed physic at one point. keep rolling backwards and forwards at right angles to dragon over about two - three graves. Lose focus and get hit! Also, you can run straight past the three wolf characters from the site of grace, and drop off the edge carefully. Latenna lost no health

[@sameerganjoo2047]

Thanks for this Cheese, i finally beat this Dragon.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Glad it helped :)

[@kkempz1]

thankyou king, works 27/01

[@gunm808]

Perfect guide. 15 tombs to the left, stand in the second row grave as shown in the video and place latenna, go back to where you spawned in, make sure after you start the boss fight to stay in the first/closest row of graves to keep aggro off Latenna, keep the boss targeted and keep moving back and forth, left and right to dodge the lightning.

[@mediumvillain]

Shabriri's Woe talisman might help keeping aggro, as long as it doesnt cause him to move towards you

[@rich.skyrme]

Thank you! Worked great for me, Latenna at +7 and she whittled Placi's health down nicely

[@polonisiansauce3170]

Goated still works definitely recommend lvl 9 summon or your gonna be there for a while

[@Skooby22]

Just did this bro you have no idea how happy I am 😂

[@llew-AZ]

Man, that was the hardest fight I had in Elden Ring. I fight her for about 30 to 40 minutes getting her down to 5% health and die. Then go do other stuff until the next day. It was so satisfying when her death finally happened

[@SuperOfficial88]

Oh my god man, this dragon was destroying me all this time, I decided to do your tutorial and I finished him on the 1st attempt 🤣, thank you 🙏

[@Awill859]

Still works in October 2023!! Thanks for the video

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :)

[@nicolebauer4712]

Also for me, as of 19th of April it worked!!!! Thank you so much, really appreciate your work 😃

[@mr.breeze7907]

Still works 9/2024. My challenge was keeping Latenna alive long enough to do her thing. She was +10 and I finally found a good spot for her and kept the dragon engaged with me. Thanks for the tip.

[@mikep9418]

Latenna never took any damage in my run.

[@joshhayward8820]

Genius - thank you - it worked brilliantly ❤

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks :)

[@winston6752]

What an insane cheese! Thank you

[@julianc.1648]

Bro you saved me so much time, im trying to beat the game on a lvl 50 build and this cheese is what i was looking for 💯

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

great :) glad it helped :)

[@skyw640]

Its worked like a charm! Thank you bro

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend

[@sagemodebone]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! it worked amazingly good and i had my archer at +10

[@slwong3]

Very smart cheese👍 12-09-2023, it still works

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend

[@smilingskull7827]

Worked like a charm, thank you.

[@iainbarron5262]

Still works. Thanks a bunch. Such a simple and effective way to end a pain of a boss.

[@ComradeB31]

i’ll be doing this cheese with no shame cause the run back to the boss with no stake nearby is so ass

[@MauriceIsYours]

Still working. Thank you my friend!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

You're welcome my friend :) glad it helped :)

[@ezahydna]

Excellent tactic, works great. Latenna took about 70% damage but we made it comfortably. Thanks!

[@sxrch2678]

Thx a lot i am on my 5+ journey and thats still working in September 13 2023 🎉🎉❤

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :)

[@eddienash2095]

This was such a lifesaver! I killed every other boss but this one I couldnt until this!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend

[@Nabitak123]

still works, guys don't go around him too much otherwise he gets up and fly, stay in the same area, left and right.

[@Spark0191987]

This is one of the biggest cheese and yes it still work august / 3 /2024

[@stevanstringer9778]

Ive defeated this boss seven times but this is the absolute easiest way to do it.Did it two minutes ago thank you.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend

[@evanpeters87]

Awesome strat, thank you for pointing this one out!

[@johntheunknown2235]

Thank you! Was doing actually really good damagewise against him without cheesing, it was just BS 2nd phase that drove me to rage. This cheese didnt even feel bad, i was cheering Latenna all the time while dodging his aoes :D Took max 4min with latenna +10 to take him down.

[@kesimos]

You just saved me a huge headache! Thanks for the cheeseeee!!!

[@gabrieldasoliveiras2576]

Just did it, super simple to do. Thanks

[@boraabee]

12th of May 2024, still works. Thank you

[@duffduck1973]

Thank you ! That worked very well., with latenna plus 10 after a couple of minutes the dragon was dead!

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

@dudfduck1973 thanks :)

[@schlicktown]

as of 9th of July it still works like a charm :) thank you @Ghosts of Reykjavik but now i cant decide wether the Cragblade or the Incantation :D

[@Tonkarai]

This worked perfectly. It took two tries but that was because I didn't realize that I wasn't quite close enough to draw the aggro.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :)

[@richardgarner2510]

Nice work friend, ive beaten him a few times but its always a struggle, nice to cheese him for once

[@TheJaseDawg]

Legend 😎🤘 still works as of July 2024 😁

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

Thanks my friend :)

[@giorgiogirardi4661]

Thank you, This game is wonderful but so long that these tricks help save time.

[@ghostsofreykjavik]

thanks my friend :)

[@iansimmons4089]

This is a great tactic. 1 had Latenna at +9.1 used golden lightning fortification spell and the Beastman's Jar-Sheild. I didn't target the dragon but kept running forwards and backwards while utilising the spell and sheild. Latenna did the rest. Great video. 👍 Posted 31st August 2024.

[@juanblanco4702]

Worked for me 7/1/24.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 I got killed 35 times prior. I put Lattena at 10 o’clock and I started around 5 o’clock. So the dragon can face me because he was focusing on her. Great tip.😁

[@StTrina]

Still working as of patch 10.0.1 - June 4, 2024. Thanks!
