Elden Ring is an overwhelmingly challenging action RPG in the veins of previous FromSoftware titles. There are many harrowing encounters to be had with creatures both small and big though all of them are equally decimating.<\/p>\n

Dragons are one such creature that you will constantly stumble upon while exploring the open world. As expected, they are extremely hard to kill but doing so gives you a Dragon heart, which you can trade for powerful Dragon abilities. After Flying Dragon Agheel<\/a>,  Glintstone Dragon Smarag is the first Dragon you will probably come across in Elden Ring, and here’s how you can easily beat it. <\/p>\n

You will come across Glintstone Dragon Smarag next to Crystalline Woods point of grace while exploring the area surrounding the Academy of Raya Lucaria. While defeating the Glintstone Dragon Smarag is optional, you have to come face to face with it as it’s guarding the Academy Glintstone Key<\/a> you require to enter the Academy.<\/p>\n

As you would expect from a gigantic menacing beast like a Dragon, Glintstone Dragon Smarag can and will kill you in one shot if you get caught in its tail attack or come under the radar of its breathing attacks.<\/p>\n

We recommend bringing a staff to this battle as ranged attacks are not only safe but also crucial for stunning the Dragon. We used the Rock Sling spell<\/a> to bring down the Glintstone Dragon Smarag, but almost any spell would work here. The key is to lock onto its head and continuously conjure magic attacks until it gets stunned. Remember, locking onto its head and not any other body parts is essential.<\/p>\n
