How to start the quest Egon and the Priestess of the Dragon Sacrament
The mission of each character will begin separately from each other.
Where to find Egon and start the quest
A dragon knight named Egon can be found next to the grace “Stop at the Road with Columns”, which can be reached from the “Front of the Castle” point if you follow the southeast of the location.
If you look towards the west from the point of grace “Stop by the Road with Columns”, you will see Egon lying on the ground and screaming in pain.
To start his quest, you just need to talk to him. After this, its location will be marked with a marker on your map.
How to find the Priestess of the Dragon Sacrament
From Egon, continue southwest along the road with the dragon statues until you see the sign “Ancient Dragon Man Begins Invasion.” Fight him and follow further south, straight along the road, at the end turning left you will see a cave and a new travel point “Dragon Pit”.
Move down the cave until you reach a cliff and a message ” Be brave, don’t be afraid.” Jump down into the huge pit and enter the fog, where you will have to fight the “Ancient Dragon Man” boss, which will be many times more difficult than the previous one.
After the battle is over, you will receive the item “Great Dragon Katana” -hunter”, who has a special skill for destroying huge dragons.
After the battle is over, exit through the double doors and ahead you will see another “Last Rest in the Dragon Pit” grace point.
Follow forward to the east and go down to a small lake with a dragon. You can leave it for later or skip it altogether.
Go south across the lake with the dragon and follow the only road that will lead straight to the Seat of the Dragon Communion with the point of grace of the same name.
Ahead of you will be a Priestess of the Dragon Sacrament named Florissax, who is also is related to the quest of Egon and Bale the Terrible.
On the road to Florissax, turn right and go into the dilapidated tower. In it, on the corpse you will find “Egon's Handbook (1)”, with which you can make the following items:
- Dragon Sacrament Grease
- Dragon Sacrament Harpoon
Next, talk to the Priestess and to begin her quest, select “Absorb the Dragon Essence.” The Priestess will reward you with the “Blessing of the Ancient Dragon”, which you can only use once. After using it, you can come to the Priestess and get it again. The blessing grants temporary resistance to all damage.
You can also learn more about Bale the Terrible in a conversation with her. She will tell you how he rebelled against Lord Placidusax and challenged him. Since then, the Dragon Communion cult has been looking for a way to kill Bale.
The Priestess will tell you to go in search of Tooth Mountain, find and destroy Bale The Terrible.

To get to the next point where Egon is located, go down from the message and go through the stone arch to the northeast. Go forward and continue along the mountain path, keeping to the east until you see the Spiritual Spring. Climb it, turn right and go through the suspension bridge over the abyss.
Just past the bridge you will see another travel point, “Foot of the Tooth Mountain.” Go forward along the only path near the cliff until you see two dragons fighting. Wait until one dragon destroys the other and kill the remaining one.
As soon as the second dragon is defeated, you will hear Egon's loud laugh. Follow his voice to the eastern part of the location, or follow the marker on the map.
Talk to Egon and he will ask you to fulfill his last wish: to find Bale the Terrible and summon his soul to help in the battle. You will receive “Igon's Twisted Finger” to summon during the boss fight.

To get to Bale, follow the road forward, past Egon, until you reach the next Spiritual Spring.
Next, follow the southeast deep into the cave.
Carefully climb up the road, dodging the cobblestones, and turn left . As you rise, you will see another enemy – an Ancient dragon named Sennessax. It is not necessary to defeat him to complete the quest.
Turn right and go up, passing the dragon corpses. At the top you will find another rest point “Slope of the Toothed Mountain”.
