Melee Users
The Ancient Dragon-Man is encountered when you explore the Dragon's Pit. You will find the entrance after dropping down a deep pit in between a set of long stairs and a large basin in a candle-lit room. He moves quickly and is always dodging so it may be difficult to attack him.
He has 2 similar attacks, one of which he can perform a charging attack. He will distance himself from you and jump up, while he is in the air, he will charge up his attack and swing toward you, releasing a wave of damage that will lessen close to a third of your health. While he is charging his attack, this gives you time to dodge out of the way of the slash wave. He will also come closer to you and perform the same attack without charging up. So he may jump and slash down directly when he lands. You can also dodge his attack to avoid receiving damage. You can corner him to a wall and perform heavy attacks on him to break his poise, he may move quickly but once you have him against a wall and his stance is broken, he is easy to defeat.

Ancient Dragon-Man Attacks & Counters
Attack | Description | Counter |
Charged Jump Slash | The Ancient Dragon-Man will dash back to gain a distance from you and then will hop up and charge his blade to glow red. He will then slash it toward you sending a wave dealing heavy damage to you. | When he jumps and charges his weapon, it gives you enough time to dodge to the sides of his slash wave as it goes in a forward direction. |
Jump Slash | Like his charged attack, the Ancient Dragon-Man will jump up and swing downwards, slashing his katana at you as he lands. | When he jumps while he is closer to you, you will have to dodge toward the sides or backward from his attack to avoid receiving damage quickly. |

I like that he is named like a poorly named player character. I genuinely thought I was being invaded by another player when he first showed up.

For some reason goon lagoon grants more runes than the dancing lion.

I blasted the invader version with madness incs from afar until both of both of us gor frenzied ( i lived ) , for the cave one i recommend the superior catch flame ( forgot it's name) because it can stagger him , which opens him for a few attacks .

As long as you have stamina and FP, you can endlessly combo him with Carian Slicer.

Defeated him but only got runes. Is this a bug or is the drop not guaranteed?
Seems unlikely it’s intended, considering all other NPC invasions have guaranteed drops.
Is the dragon head that appears when he does his grab move the same as Godrick's dragon?

Route to this boss? Unique. One shot dragon attack? Unique. Hp? Manageable. Pace of a fight? Awesome. Overall really cool, my only complain is that his poise is almost immune to break, no matter how many hits I was able to land on him

Best to stay on the offensive. Vykes warspear weapon art smashed him pretty hard.
You can parry him. Look for backstabs if you can't stagger him out of his dragon head summon.
It was hard to kill him as my 20lvl NOT A TWINK to get to Frost perfume bottle, but greatshield soldiers and frost infused forked imp greatsword with stormcaller did the job. You still get two-tapped (with ritual dhield and full phys def) so beware

Charged carian piercers stunlock him. The uncharged can also catch him out of a jump.
