Elden Ring Dragon Locations - What are Dragon Hearts used for?
Map locations for dragons in Elden Ring, plus info on what they are and what they are used for.
Across The Lands Between, there’s a whole host of strange creatures who aren’t happy to see you, and this includes dragons. When felled, the dragons of Elden Ring will drop Dragon Hearts, which can be pretty useful if you know what to do with them. In this guide we'll detail the dragon locations in Elden Ring so you don't have to search high and low for them all.

At the Cathedral of Dragon Communion (Caelid) and the Church of Dragon Communion (Limgrave), the Dragon Hearts that you collect can be used to learn Dragon Incantations. These specific spells will be based off of your Faith and Arcane stats, and can be pretty powerful with the right build.

Some top Dragon Incantations are Greyoll’s Roar, which turns you into a dragon and your roar then reduces enemy power attack and defense stats, and Agheel’s Flame, which also turns you into a fire-breathing dragon. Team these with the Roar Medallion, and your Dragon Incantations (specifically roar and breath attacks) are going to be all the more powerful. You’ll need a Clawmark Seal to use any of this (or cast Faith spells altogether), though, which is given to you by Gurranq in the Bestial Sanctum.
