Okay, so I was trying to find the second dancing lion in Elden Ring. It took me a while to figure it out, so I thought I’d share my experience here, maybe it’ll be useful to some of you.
First off, I started exploring the map, just wandering around, checking every nook and cranny. I spent hours doing this, with not much luck. I was fighting some regular enemies, leveling up a bit, you know, the usual stuff.
Then, I remembered a tip I saw somewhere about progressing the main story. So, I went ahead and did just that. I followed the main questline, fought some bosses, and got some new items.
- The Church of the Plague: I remembered reading something about a character named Millicent, so I headed to the Church of the Plague. Found her there, gave her the Unalloyed Gold Needle I had picked up, and moved on.
- Following the Main Quest: I decided to just follow the suggested route of the main quest, thinking it might lead me somewhere new. I think this was crucial, it’s like the game was nudging me in the right direction without me even realizing it.
- Blaidd’s Questline: I also ran into Blaidd again. I don’t remember exactly when or how, but I started following his questline as well. It was pretty cool.
After all this, I finally stumbled upon the second dancing lion! It was in a new area that opened up because I progressed the story. It was a bit of a facepalm moment, realizing that the solution was just to play the game as intended, but hey, we all learn somehow. I engaged in combat, but that lion wasn’t too tough, and I defeated it pretty easily.
So, yeah, if you’re stuck like I was, just try progressing the main story. It might sound obvious, but it’s easy to get lost in exploring and forget the main path. Hope this helps someone out there!
