How to Find Dragon Hearts in Elden Ring

The most popular items used for transforming oneself into melee dragon characters in Elden Ring are the Dragon Hearts. These are one of those rare kinds of items that cannot be bought or found through looting but rather earned after defeating specific dragon bosses. Scattered over more than 23 consumable Dragon Hearts, only 20 of them can help in getting all Dragon Communion Spells.

You will need to search and kill the dragon bosses to obtain the Dragon Hearts. Each of the defeated dragons will drop one Dragon Heart. You can find, in total, 19 locations of such dragons.

Limgrave

To find the Flying Dragon Agheel, head south from the Limgrave Tunnel Site of Grace and east of the Church of Elleh. This flying dragon is one of the easiest to locate in Elden Ring and thus serves as a fine starting point for those looking to hunt dragons. That being said, get ready to be in for a rough battle, and at least reach level 25 before the fight.

Caelid

Head to the Caelid Region-to be more specific, between the Cathedral of Dragon Site of Grace and Caelid Highway South.

You will find the Magma Wyrm just southeast of the Gael Tunnel. The tunnel is close to the border of Caelid and Limgrave.

Head to the Sellia Hideaway Site of Grace while in Caelid, then go northwest from here in order to find the Elder Dragon Greyol, which gives you a nice reward of five Dragon Hearts.

Farum Greatbridge Site of Grace to find on the bridge in Caelid is the Flying Dragon Grell.

Liurnia

To find Glintstone Dragon Adula, from the Cathedral of Manus Celes Site of Grace northeast of the Village of the Albinaurics in Liurnia, head west. Defeating this fearsome dragon rewards three Dragon Hearts with his death.

Head west onto open ground before going toward the Ringleader's Evergaol at the Moonlight Altar. Yet another Glintstone Dragon can be found there, and killing it rewards three Dragon Hearts.

To find Glintstone Dragon Smarag, head west of Liurnia. For reference, take the minor erdtree as your starting point. Head towards the Revenger's Shack Site of Grace, then proceed north-east from here until you reach the water area. In this watery area, Smarag can be found.

Altus Plateau

Magma Wyrm Makar can be found west of Ruin-Strewn Precipice Overlook Site of Grace, near Liurnia borders.

In the southwest regions of the Altus Plateau, you will find two more Magma Wyrms. The first is west of the Temple Eiglay Site of Grace. From this dragon and your first Dragon Heart, head west to the Guest Hall Site of Grace, where you will find another Magma Wyrm.

Mountaintops of the Giants

Mountaintops of the Giants have two chances to obtain Dragon Hearts. North: Borealis, the Freezing Fog, is northeast of the Spiritcaller's Cave Site of Grace. By defeating this big dragon, you'll have earned a Dragon Heart.

West of the Spiritcaller's Cave Site of Grace, there's another dragon that gives you three more Dragon Hearts. This one's relatively close to the Cave of the Forlorn Site of Grace.

Where to Spend Dragon Hearts in Elden Ring?

The Dragon Hearts, in Elden Ring, are a great way to get more powerful versions of such Dragon Communion Incantations as Dragonfire, Dragonclaw, and Dragonmaw through the Church of Dragon Communion. These incantations will be invoked by using a Sacred Seal and require particular conditions in Faith and Arcane.

Once those are gathered, head to Bloody Finger Hunter Yura, northeast of the Seaside Ruins Site of Grace. Speaking with him will give places to two altars: Church of Dragon Communion and Cathedral of Dragon Communion.

Use Coastal Cave to get across to the island to get to the Church of Dragon Communion. These are the items contained in the altar: Dragonclaw, Dragonmaw, and Dragonfire. Cathedral of Dragon Communion can be found in the south of Caelid and accesses more incantations: Agheel's Flame, Glintstone Breath, Rotten Breath, Dragonice, and Greyoll's Roar, in addition to its three above-mentioned siblings from the Church.

Follow these, and with great diligence to explore the world of Elden Ring, you'll be off gathering all of the Dragon Hearts for the powerful incantations they have in store-what is collectively known as the Dragon Communion Incantations.
