How to Defeat Flying Dragon Agheel In Elden Ring
You can beat the Flying Dragon Agheel in Elden Ring by attacking him on his legs. This trick works really well for melee characters. As for ranged characters, you can defeat him by casting spells or shooting arrows/bolts from a medium range. While this sounds easy there are some moves that you should be aware of during this fight.

But the fight will become even more difficult than it already is. This fight only has one phase. Below are all the moves it uses in the fight.
Melee Moves
- Foot Stomp: The dragon will lift either of its foot and stomp it on the ground.
- Tail-whip: It will move ahead and whip its tail behind.
- Ground Stomp: The Dragon will take a short flight and stomp the ground with both its legs.
- Bite: As the name suggests it will turn around and try to bite you.
All of these moves have the same way to dodge, that is by running after getting a few hits. The above-mentioned attacks are fast so there is very little reaction time you will get. So the best thing to do is start running by the time it prepares its next attack.
Ranged Attacks

- Flamethrower: It will launch a large column of flame in front of it that covers a good distance. The only way to dodge it is to run as far away as possible to get out of its range.
- Arc of Flame: It launches flames in an arc. You can either run back on the opposite side or run towards the dragon and get underneath it to attack.
- Flying Flame: Sorry for the bad name, but as it suggests, it will fly up in the air. And start chasing you while launching flames from above.
