Elden Ring Igon Notes & Trivia
- Lockout conditions for Igon's Quest:
- Igon does not need to be summoned while fighting against Bayle the Dread to acquire his items.
- Igon's quest does not need to be started to acquire his items. They will be at his NPC location after the battle against Bayle the Dread.
- Igon wrote two cookbooks that can aid in the killing of dragons. See Igon's Cookbook [1] and Igon's Cookbook [2].
- The NPC is a reference to Captain Ahab from Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick, both being one-legged hunters who are proficient with harpoons and are obsessively motivated by revenge against their bestial foe.
His internal reference data makes this explicit, roughly translating to "Dragon Communion Ahab."
Elden Ring Igon Questline Guide
Drake Warrior's Vow
Igon is located just past the Pillar Path Waypoint Site of Grace [Map Link]. After crossing the Ellac Greatbridge, head south along the path. You'll find Igon on the ground, crying out in pain and cursing Bayle the Dread. Speak to him and exhaust his dialogue until he repeatedly says, "O-Oh... the pain... The exquisite pain..."
Igon is located a little past the Pillar Path Waypoint - Site of Grace. After crossing the Ellac Greatbridge, take the path leading to the south and you will eventually see Igon on the ground screaming in pain, you will also hear him curse out to Bayle the Dread that caused his pain. Speak to him and make sure to exhaust his dialogues until he repeats "O-Oh...the pain... The exquisite pain..."
Continue south from Igon along the road lined with white marble, headless dragon statues. Some players have reported an NPC version of Ancient Dragon-Man invading them on this route. Look for a jar hanging from the cliff on the right side containing the Herbalist's Bell Bearing. Proceed along this path until you reach a cave on the left with a lit brazier. Enter the cave and activate the Dragon's Pit Site of Grace [Map Link]. Then, go through the tunnel and take the left path, following it to the area with lit stone lanterns. Follow the lanterns to the right until you reach a ramp.
The upper area leads to a dragon fight, but you need to go to the lower area. Here, you can choose to fight the enemies or avoid them. This path leads to a ritual-like altar. The message advises you to "Be brave. Show no fear." Approach the edge of the altar and jump into the darkness.
On this level, you'll find a boss behind the golden fog door. Defeat the Ancient Dragon-Man to receive the Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana and unlock a door on the opposite side. Open this door and activate the Site of Grace just before exiting the tunnel.
After exiting the tunnel, head east to fight the Jagged Peak Drake lying in the center. Once defeated, head south behind where the Drake was resting. You'll encounter lightning creatures, which you can ride past. Continue until you find the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion and the Dragon Communion Priestess standing beside it.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust all dialogues with the Dragon Communion Priestess before finishing Igon's questline to learn more about her lore.
Talk to the NPC and exhaust her dialogues. Accept her offer to partake in the ritual by choosing the dialogue that says "Devour draconic essence". Then, you will receive the Ancient Dragon's Blessing from her. Make sure to activate the Site of Grace nearby before leaving this area.
Head out to the Foot of the Jagged Peak by returning to where you fought the first dragon, but this time, you will head north and pass through the pillars. This will take you to the cliff of the mountain.
Use the Spiritspring at the end of this path, then veer right and cross the bridge. Activate the Foot of the Jagged Peak site of grace here before proceeding. This is very important because you will be fighting a boss in the next area. This is where you will respawn if you die during the fight.
Next, continue up ahead until you reach the boss arena. You will be fighting another Jagged Peak Drake, but this time, there will be two of them. After this fight, you will hear the voice of Igon nearby. Locate him at the entrance to the narrow canyon path to the east, where the red smoke is thick (basically the southeastern section of the area you just fought the drakes in). Talk to him there and exhaust his dialogues. He will ask you to summon him and let him join you in the fight against Bayle the Dread. You will receive Igon's Furled Finger.
From here, take the Spiritspring behind him, and another one at the next level. On the third level, you will see the entrance to the cave of the next dragon. Go inside the cave and watch out for the rolling boulders here. You can avoid it by going to the right area of the cave, and then crossing right after the boulder rolls down. Once you make it to the left side of the room, you will reach the arena of another boss.
You will be fighting Ancient Dragon Senessax. After defeating this boss, go up the north exit where you will see the remains of other dragons on the ground. This serves as your guide that you are headed to the right place.
Outside this area, activate the Jagged Peak Mountainside - Site of Grace. Then, head to the top of the mountain by heading southwest. You will see the dragon remains here and keep following it. There are also lightning effects that will occasionally strike. Then, use the Spiritspring and continue going to the southwest down the narrow rocky path.
Stick to the wall here to your left and use another Spiritspring. You will find yourself at a level with multiple dragon remains and a small cave entrance in front of you. Go inside and pick up the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone at the end past some slimes. Turn around back toward the cave entrance but turn northwest up a steep slope and follow it around to another Spiritspring at the end.
Use the Site of Grace at the top and this is the one that you will be using in case you die during the boss fight. (Beware: You probably will). Go towards the small opening here and once you enter the arena, Bayle the Dread will land once you are inside. Now, the key to completing Igon is to summon him here. He can't be summoned from the outside but you need to locate his summon sign inside the arena after this boss fight is triggered- and it is located just to the left after entering (only after the dragon is spawned).
After defeating this boss, return to Igon's last location where you fought the two Jagged Peak Drakes. [See the SOTE Elden Ring DLC Map] He will drop his items that you can loot:
- Igon's Greatbow
- Igon's Helm
- Igon's Armor
- Igon's Gauntlets
- Igon's Loincloth
- Igon's Bell Bearing - grants Igon's Harpoons from the Twin Maiden Husks for 1000 runes each.
Once you have collected these items, go to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. Teleport to the site of grace that you previously used. The Dragon Communion Priestess may or may not be there depending on your choices in her questline.
If you have given her Thiollier's Concoction, you will receive the following items:
If you have not given her Thiollier's Concoction, you will receive the following items:
Prior to being a Drake warrior and partaker in dragon communion, Igon was a scavenger of battlefields, finding meaning in his life through dragon communion. He wishes to fight against Bayle with your help to fulfill his wishes. It is highly recommended to summon Igon in the fight against Bayle, and gain Thiollier's Concoction to help progress through Igon and the Dragon Communion Priestess' questlines. Please see the individual pages of the NPCs to learn about their questlines to avoid getting locked out.
Dialogue in Elden Ring: Igon
Introduction
- O-Oh… Ohh… O-Ohh! Ohhhhhh! The pain… The pain! My arms! My legs! Each lies a bloody ruin! Ah… A-Aaaaaargh! The pain… The exquisite pain…
- Bayle! Vile Bayle! O terror incarnate! There is life in me yet! I will soon feast upon your heart! Mark my words! You too shall know fear! Uaaaaargh!
- Please, no more. I am sorry. I repent! Come no closer. Oh, the horror. Please, savage me no further. O-Oh… Oh…
- Please, no more… Spare me your cruelty… O-Oh… Oh…
When attacked
- (when hit) The pain...it's exquisite
- The exquisite pain! Graaaaaargh!
- (On player kill) Bayle! O terror incarnate! There is life in me yet!
- (On defeat) Bayle, terror incarnate. Your time will come…
After defeating Jagged Peak Drake
- Heh heh heh, ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha! What a sight! A warrior true, if ever one there was! A fellow drake warrior! Igon, piteous Igon, do you not remember? Conjure your past! How once you were! When fear was yet foreign to ye! Heh heh… Ha ha ha!
- Ahh, drake warrior, dear friend. Grant me this one wish. Take this finger. My finger. Scale the jagged peak. Face Bayle the Dread. And when you do… Summon me. Summon my soul. My limbs are limbs no more. My heart is twice-over filled with fear. But a drake warrior I remain. And my soul yet lies on the mountain. (Gives Igon’s Furled Finger)
- Proud drake warrior, I beg of you. Scale the jagged peak. Face Bayle the Dread. And when you do... Summon me. Summon my soul.
Dragon Communion Priestess when asked about Igon:
- I remember that name well. The broken drake warrior. Driven by bottomless hunger and fiery ambition.
- Precisely what the Dragonlord envisaged for men who partake in Dragon Communion.
- The mad hunger and fierceness of spirit that only flows from those young and short of sight. He rather reminds me of Bayle, in fact. Such thoughts are unfathomable to ones as old as we.
When attacked on Jagged Peak
- Oof!
- Ahh, behold! My soul! The soul of a drake warrior!
- Drake warrior, hear me out! I have but one wish!
- Is this some manner of trial? To divine the mettle of my soul! Whether it befits a drake warrior?!
- (On defeat) Face Bayle the Dread, and when you do… Summon me. Summon my soul.
- (On player kill) You are no drake warrior. I fear ye not.
When summoned
- Curse you, Bayle!
- I hereby vow! You will rue this day!
- Behold, a true drake warrior! And I, Igon!
- Your fears made flesh!
- Solid of scale you might be, foul dragon...
- But I will riddle with holes your rotten hide!
- With a hail of harpoons!
- With every last drop of my being!
- (On defeat) A-Ahhhhhh… B...Bayle… You shall know...fear yet...
After Bayle is defeated
- Graaaaaargh!
- Bayle the Dread!
- You shall haunt me no longer!

Since he was talking about the pain with such a voice… I thought maybe he wanted to die… then I hit him again and the voice got more… pleasure in it? So I thought: ok, maybe he needs to be killed for the quest line!

First encountered him... he had lost use of his limbs so i whacked him around only for him to use greyoll's roar on me a few times. Then he dropped dead and dropped arguably the best greatbow in the game and his bell bearing to buy his unique projectiles to use with the greatbow. Thanks Igon.

Lintern has arguably set a new bar for video game voice acting I think. It's so good it really steals the show in the game now. Or any game. You just don't get that level of performance in games.

After fully exploring the game, exhausting the NPCs dialogue, and reading through FromSoft's convoluted backstory on each of the relevant items, I think I've finally formed a working theory on this guy's sidequest. Don't quote me on this, but I THINK that it's maybe probably likely that Igon wants to kill Bayle.

Igon somehow died at the fight with the two dueling dragons. I didn't see it happen. I kept progressing then came back later and he was dead. It should be noted on this page that he can die here. I didn't get any of his items either.

I figured out why I find Igon so compelling. It's because he's afraid. Fear is a weirdly uncommon emotion in these games - everyone's either a psycho berserker who lives only to fight, a religious zealot with no other motivation, and so on. Igon screams his lines like he's desperately trying to believe that they're true, even though facing the Dread once more almost overwhelms him with terror. Because he knows that if he stops believing the things he's saying, even for a moment, he'll succumb to fear and die. And the one thing in the world that he needs more than to give in to fear is to see the Dread die.

He’s also a reference to Ahab, like, a hellishly obvious one, the choice to put emphasis on him using harpoons is absolutely a deliberate one for the sake of the reference lol

I love his voice lines as much as anyone else but if they want ppl to summon him they should really make it so he doesn't just spam greyolls roar like 50 feet away from bayle. You'd think if he wanted to kill that drake with all of his being he'd tryhard a bit more.

When you beat Bayle, if Igon fades right before finishing his dragon incantation, he'll disappear but the incantation will keep casting until you rest at a sight of grace. He was casting dragon claw when I beat bayle and it was just a straight loop for an hour.

He does not increase Hp for bayle, like summons for radahn's fight or the hornsent summon any mid fight summon do not increase the hp of bosses.
Igon, does not increase the hp of Bayle as his summon is mid fight in the arena. Same applies to sif in ds1.. the signs for basegame Radahn's fight too. Hornsent on Messmer this also applies to.. and gael's friede summon in ds3 is outright bizarre as it summons them during phase 2.. and doesnt increase hp despite appearing outside the summon arena. no ember required either.. outright strange..
- Anonymous
Since you summon him mid fight is it like sif in ds1 where they dont alter boss hp?
Constantly screaming nonsense. Can't hit a giant dragon with his bow. This dude is drunk.
I believe that another note that should be added is how he's a very clear reference to Ishmael and Moby Dick. Maybe name wise Igon and Bayle are based on the Game of Thrones characters however definitely his hatred and passion for killing Bayle is a clear reference to Ishmael.
#1 favorite character in the DLC by far, best character arc, voice line, everything... but lets be honest, you summoned him in the arena for the voice lines alone. Bro can't actually land any shots, but by god damnit will he make you want to throw harpoons at Bayle

Y'know, his use of Greyoll's Roar got me thinking about possible reasons why he could use such an incant, and I'm wondering if maybe he got to feast on the massive dragon's heart, the one by the dragon priest. I mean SOMEONE had to feast on that dragon's heart, and I wonder if during his scavenging, that's when he partook in communion. I'll admit I'm reaching a bit, but it does paint a really cool picture of him going from the scavenger of battlefields to one of the most deadly drake warriors by scavenging from that dragon

As mentioned, why does Dragon Man invade you after you kill him in the beginning of the original dungeon you fight him in? Literally makes zero sense as nothing is dropped or any change in the story? Just plain makes no sense at all. My take is just like the 1st game npc quest rewards are messed up.
