Ancient Dragon Florissax Summon Spirit Location Guide
To obtain the Ancient Dragon Florissax, you must first give Thiollier’s concoction to the Dragon Communion Priestess at the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion at nighttime. Then, defeat Bayle the Dread and talk to the Priestess again, telling her that you put her to sleep. After that, she will accept you as her new lord and transform into the Ancient dragon Florissax spirit ashes.
Here is a step-by-step process to obtain the Ancient Dragon Florissax, followed by a detailed explanation:
Thiollier’s concoction is necessary for obtaining the Ancient Dragon Florissax spirit ashes. First, you will have to talk to Thiollier, found at the end of the path southeast of the Castle Front site of grace. After talking to Thiollier, go talk to Moore near the Main Gate Cross site of grace and finish his dialogues until he asks you to deliver an item called Black Syrup to Thiollier. Bring this item to Thiollier and finish his dialogues to receive Thiollier’s concoction.
After receiving Thiollier’s concoction, go to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion located on the Southern Shore. To get here, you will have to go through the Dragon’s Pit dungeon to find the entrance to the Foot of the Jagged Peak. From there, head south to find a giant dragon’s corpse, in front of which is the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion and its priestess.
Rest at the site of grace in the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion and set the time to night. Then, interact with the Dragon Communion Priestess to give her Thiollier’s concoction, which puts her into a deep slumber. The next step is to defeat the legendary boss,Bayle the Dread, and then talk to the Priestess again. As a result of putting her to sleep, her connection to Dragonlord Placidusax is severed. After you tell her that you put her to sleep, she will decide to serve you and transform into the Ancient Dragon Florissax spirit ashes if you accept her request.

Ancient Dragon Florissax is one of the legendary spirit ashes added in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It is the final reward for the alternate ending of the Dragon Communion Priestess questline at theGrand Altar of Dragon Communion.
Being a legendary summon, Ancient Dragon Florissax stands out as one of the strongest summons in the game. This summon is one of the few that grants buffs to allies and applies debuffs to enemies. She wields theFlowerstone Gaveland has the special ability to buff the damage negation of herself and you. Moreover, her attacks also lower the lightning damage negation of enemies, making her an excellent teammate for lightning builds in Elden Ring.
