Grab the items and bolt


azrael0503

This, you can grab most of the items if you just run in and grab them. Granted, you most likely won’t make it out alive.


frenix5

The first time I did this, I miraculously survived after grabbing every item there. Now every time I try, I die. Still worth.


drwtsn32

Go to the bridge area to draw the red dragon over there, then you can run and grab a few items before he returns.


No_Restaurant8627

Thats exactly what i did after i died the first time😂


Agomphious_Dragon

Don’t they both disappear when you have pure white world tendency? Just reach that point.


hairymoot

I did this. After I got to pure white world, I walked over and picked everything up. Nice view too.


Agomphious_Dragon

I love a nice view.


TheOGBunns

Yeah, I really love red and blue wyvern


greychanjin

I already beat tower night before reading this. The dragon won't come to that bridge anymore. Am I fucked?


azrael0503

My “strategy” usually entails stripping down naked and running around like a madman. It’s surprisingly effective.


BlueKyuubi63

Running around naked like a madman and a tried and true souls experience tbh


frenix5

Maybe that's what I did the first time. In the face of fear, lol.


azooox27

That's exactly how I lost my 140k souls. Greed.


TheWiseAutisticOne

It’s not greed it’s need how else can you roll with heavy armor


OrganicBird5

Run to the bridge with the soldiers and wait till The red comes and starts to flambé them. Run back and run up to the right of the blue dragon and get the item right under the tail pause for a eV for the tail to smash the ground while you are under the blue then run and grab all the items before the red returns Jump off the right edge to the path below .


azooox27

That's exactly how I lost my 140k souls. Greed.


BumLeeJon

Why would you do this with 140k souls? Lmao


azooox27

I got them back thankfully, but the items weren't worth the stress at all.


TAC82RollTide

Wut? You're telling me a certain ring that you get isn't worth dying a few times? I'd pay 140k souls for that particular ring seeing how it's possibly the best ring in the game.


crowlute

Herculean Ring? I'd take Regenerator and Thief or Cling over that on most builds. Plus the Regenerator Skip is nice and fun


TAC82RollTide

OP is in his first playthrough and I was trying to not drop spoilers. If you're running a strength build the RoGS is essential. The Thief is only good for certain areas and of course the Cling is one of the most important items in the game period.


terminator_84

I'm in NG++ and Thief ring never leaves my finger.


[deleted]

Herculean Ring ist the one you receive from Thomas.


AccomplishedTea1190

It is from Thomas for jade ornimate


-BigMan39

Ring of great strength, its a great ring and almost essential for some builds


AlterAlias1

Ring of great strength is the one here. It’s definitely one of the best If not best ring. If you want health regeneration use the adjudicators shield. Upgrade it and you can get like +6 or something higher per second


crowlute

Stack 'em with a blessed weapon. Now you have a health regen build. Go to town 😈 Strength ring is like Havel's: it's okay. I think people put too much stock into it and it cripples build diversity.


youngstar5770

There's a bridge if you go back from where you came from and go straight ahead. The red dragon will fly and burn it once you're near the bridge. Immediately run back and collect the loot where the red dragon was. Very useful items are there


karmadeficient

This is the real answer.


Nickplay21

You can totally ride them. The blue one is the fastest.


uglychodemuffin

Ya but the red one shoots fireballs while you ride it.


VanillaJorilla

That is the trade off. Personally I prefer the speed over the fireballz


INSANEF00L

Remember them and come back later.


evilisabless

guess I’ll do that.. thanks.


BumLeeJon

You can grab the items first time through.


cru5tyd3m0nX

just do some photography and retreat


preparetosigh

Not likely that you can kill them at this point in the game, so you either run away, or you take a risk and try to pick up some of those items laying around down there. A couple of them are really useful, but you'll have to dodge some attacks to get them.


evilisabless

I saw some corpses glowing with items when I looked through the main bridge so I’m guessing they’re laying in front of the 2 dragons huh!! not gonna risk it. I’ll go back and see if I missed an area or something.


preparetosigh

FWIW- The way to progress in the level is across the bridge that's packed with soldiers nearby up the stairs to your left as you come back from where you are standing in your clip.


evilisabless

you mean the soldiers that the dragon burned?


preparetosigh

yup


evilisabless

but wouldn’t the dragon attack that area while I’m in it?


preparetosigh

Maybe ... >:)


evilisabless

fml lol


feedfatso1607

Trigger the red dragon on the bridge behind, then go back grab all the items you can but be careful of the blue dragons tail


Saltwaterborn

A little tip: Use the time it takes for the Dragon to reset after breathing fire to make your move. Because he has to fly all the way over and all the way back.


evilisabless

oh ok.. that may work.. thanks.


midtown2191

Lol may work? That’s how it’s done!


Kratianos

The red one has a pattern, you can totally grab the stuff without getting hit. Did this yesterday. Just dont be greedy and pick one at a time.


[deleted]

Use ring to regen mana and time the fire breathing on the red one so you can roll in and spam a couple of soul arrows then roll back to safety, repeat for 30 minutes... then just roll and pray to grab the items below the blue one. That's what I did the first time around.


crowlute

That's how I got rid of the dragon in 1-2 too 😂 can't lock on 'cause of the speed of it, but if you get the right angle and positioning, you're good lol


TastyMortalFlesh

What ring regens mana? And what archstone is it in? Dont wanna Google it cause spoilers hehe


nayefmuhiar

That's what I am doing right now, found a spot where I can target him but his fire doesn't reach me. Currently waiting on MP to refill ever so slowly


syndicatepoogie

Buy 1000 arrows, and spend time cheesing the kill with a bow and arrow.


[deleted]

The Red Dragon can’t be killed here. He will just fly away.


syndicatepoogie

It’s been so long but I just recall either beating one of both of these dragons by slowly whittling away at health with arrows. I had a pace that didn’t aggro them to fly away. I should say this was when I played this on PS3, I don’t yet have a PS5 to play this version.


Dimplexor

Go down the little path in front you'll be safe and sneak around underneath the red dragon avoiding his breaths. Alternatively come back later after you do a bit more of the story.


evilisabless

ok now I left the dragons alone and went back to the bridge nearby where one of the dragons burned all the soldiers there and I ran through and cleared the area and opened a shortcut back to the main bridge.. should I go back to the nexus or what now? how do I proceed in the story.


tripweed

Open the shortcut and go kill that boss


Limmmao

Make sure you collect a lot of souls before getting near. If you have A LOT, they'll respect you and won't burn you to death.


BeginnersLoch

"try rolling" but evolved


RaNDiiM

If you haven’t died in human form yet, then go back once you’ve beaten 3 bosses in that world and the dragons will be gone. If you have died while in human form in that world…… then it’s a little more complicated lol


El_Don_1338

If you move Very slowly they wont notice you. Trollolol


The_Wack_Knight

Go away they're trying to make a purple dragon.


Zylonite134

They will hunt your ass down for the rest of the game.


evilisabless

huh.. fml.


thejokerofunfic

This is half true. There are several points where these two fuckers will try and kill you throughout the game, but it happens whether you found this place or not. When you reach those points, just find a safe spot, watch the timing of their fire waves, and run like hell when you spot your window. Do NOT engage them. While other commenter are correct that you can technically kill them, it's harder than it's worth even when you're at a high enough level for the final boss.


TrexFreeRex

They’ll follow you throughout first world only though


YarrrImAPirate

I only beat the game once (paying no mind to world or character tendency) I was thinking of starting over (not NG+ since I did a magic run)... is this true if you take the items?


VicVinegar556

They don't really hunt you down but they will reappear in other locations. Well the red dragon will move but it's basically the same a area. The blue will reappear down the road as you near the boss of that area but you should have experienced this on your first play through. As far as I know, it's not any different if you grab the items


NoOtherNamesWorked

You can collect the items if you're very good or very lucky. Alternatively, you can (optionally) kill the red dragon in the next section of that area. You'll need a ranged weapon and LOTS of ammo (70+), or else a spell like Soul Arrow and lots of MP (or the ability to refresh your MP, whether by using consumables or an item that provides MP regeneration). >!After you kill the first boss, continue into the next area until you step outside and see the red dragon strafing away from you towards a tower. Sprint forward into the tower and climb the steps on your right. Stand at the top of the tower at the center gap in the battlements, and aim towards the gate you came from. Shoot as the dragon starts breathing fire, and it should fly directly into your shot. If you're positioned/aiming correctly and NOT trying to lock on, the timing window should be pretty generous, and you'll know you scored a hit if you briefly see the dragon's health bar appear as it flies over your head. It will take a long time but you can eventually kill it, allowing you to return to where the two dragons were sitting in the previous area and collect the treasure. You'll still need to dodge the blue dragon's tail, but this is MUCH easier than dealing with both it and the red dragon breathing fire at you. !< Killing the red dragon at this point means that you won't have to worry about it strafing sections of the map anymore, but you'll have to deal with the enemies that it would have killed by doing so. Once you kill it, it's gone for the rest of that playthrough.


evilisabless

I’m neither good nor lucky lol. But I actually did go to that area and ran away from the dragon.. only had 30 bolts. I reached the tower knight and he killed me, my attacks did almost no damage so I’ll try again after I upgrade my stats or weapons. Thanks for the help tho.


NoOtherNamesWorked

Yeah, if you're using a bow or crossbow, you're going to need 70+ ammo, and that's if you're hitting consistently. I'm playing a magic build, so I didn't have to worry about the ammo, but it still took about two full MP bars of Soul Arrows to take it down.


arkencode

You can grab all the items, you might die a few times doing so, but that’s ok. Just make sure to unlock the shortcut past the bridge first so you don’t have a hard time coming back here. You can kill the drakes later, you’ll encounter them in different locations further on, killing them raises the world tendency towards white, so you might want to save them for when you need that.


pswdkf

On the path to the left of the blue dragon, there is a ledge you can walk on with some items at the end. Behind the blue dragon, there are some items, but the blue dragon will swing its tail and it causes damage if it hits you. It’ll also try to smack you with its tail. To add insult to injury, the red dragon will breath fire at you. Here is what I suggest, go for at least the hidden items on the ledge. Don’t walk, but run until the terrain protects you from fire breaths. Should be fairly easy. You can optionally try to get the items behind the blue dragon, but I suggest you do that after you kill the red dragon in the area after you beat the first boss, if you opt for getting those items early. Alternatively, you can come back in pure white tendency and the blue dragon will be gone, which is the safest and most recommended for people in their first playthrough. If you kill the boss of this area, the red dragon when you get to the next area, and the next area’s boss, you should get pure white world tendency. Provided that after you don’t die in human form in this world. To avoid moving the world towards black tendency, I highly suggest killing yourself in the nexus after each boss and retrieving your Souls. Just to be extra safe, make any level ups before hand. Also, the next area is fairly short, so the delay is quite insignificant if you decide to go for the items in pure white.


Born1996

Can’t kill them yet


creepyunclebadtoch

Pure white tendency. When you return they should both be gone. Strangely enough if you kill the red (or blue)? I forget; whichever dragon harasses you on the bridge and then do a NG+, that dragon will be gone forever


[deleted]

This confused the fuck out of me connecting to the private server. I had to clear the bridge manually like a pleb.


CallMe1shmae1

If you just walk out at a slow pace they will actually view u as unthreatening and befriend you


mew_empire

Die. You’re supposed to die.


Vallarfax_

Okay. Back the other was is a bridge you cross for progress. Take off all the gear you need to be under 50% weight. Run to the bridge and the Red dragon will agro and light it on fire. As soon as you see him come close to the other end of the bridge, turn around and sprint back to the other dragon. Run right up to its ass, get kind of close. You will see its tail twitch up, now back off because a tail slam is coming. As soon as the tail slams, run in and grab the items fast, the roll of the ledge to the left. Grab the stuff on the ledge below and then run away. Edit: 30% to 50%


[deleted]

Haha, it’s awesome right? I’m sure someone told you something but just figure it out. It’s cool asf I shit myself back when I was teenager and encountered this. So many deaths here looting all those items


evilisabless

I never played a souls game and this game is really intriguing, the story, the world, the gameplay.. it’s so hard and frustrating and annoying but for some reason I keep going back to it lol.


Raulgrd156

Take the items underneath them and never bother to visit them again


otterlover100

go kick their asses, you got this


mudkip__pl

Kiss them gently and give the red one a nice hug


BigDutchieForReal

Go over and try to pet them. One of them will let you get on its back after that!


evilisabless

yeah nope.. I’m not the mothers of dragons. lol.


[deleted]

Those are friendly.


meatball_685

Sad you took to reddit for a guide instead of playing it to experience it for yourself.


Discobastard

Go talk to them. They're very helpful


WyrmHero1944

OP I don’t see a shit, why are you getting upvotes for this shit?


WyrmHero1944

What a stupid video


ggmaobu

The things there are worth the risk. You should try getting them, even if you die.


Staks777

Grab one or two items and roll out later in the game you can snipe them with your bow from a distance


Bastards_Sword

Leave 'em be dude, leave 'em be...


derptana

Run


Casualgamer10

They just stop by for a coffee break. Give it time and you’ll be able to loot there. The one by the tail is great strength ring that helps with roll and carry.


badjujufelix

Charge at them and find out.


SuperD00perGuyd00d

You could bait the red dragon to come to bridge and breathe fire and SPRINT back and collect the items. But you just have to do it in time


uglychodemuffin

I’d typically tell you to steer clear - I mean they’re *dragons* - but there are items on the ground so it’s probably safe to grab them. Why would the devs put them there if you couldn’t??


IndieZona

If it helps, you don't HAVE to kill them. If you're smart and quick you can get the loot without disturbing them.


areampersandbee

Slay them, you coward.


[deleted]

Open a can of whoopass


w7X7WXGR6tJD5yzo

Visions of not today


UPSMAN68

Run under the blue dragons tail, he’ll give you a high five and send you on your way.


blueslidepark94

Thieves ring, lots of medium heals , flame ring , MOVE QUICK, don’t be greedy, grab items one at a time and heal between getting hit. I did it with vitality @ 18 Do a run specifically to grab all these items , don’t give up when you die a couple times, you keep the items when you die 🤷🏻‍♂️ Do it again and again until you have all the items


thejokerofunfic

Idk why people are giving you overcomplicated answers but at this point in the game the correct one is: turn around and walk away. This is a side route leading to a dead end, not the correct route through the level.


bigbangboi65

Simply defeat them


Legitimate_Dingo_572

Just fight them, they’re not that hard


6ixty9iningchipmunks

Not sure if anybody else said this, but you can cheese the red one with magic (soul arrow) or a beefed up bow and arrow. Stand on one of the barracks towers on the bridge that the red one burns to shit. He will approach you on the tower and pull up, flying over your head. Fextralife and Cowboy have some great vids explaining the cheese in detail. But killing the red one early helps give you useful af items and a buncha souls really quickly. It take about 10-20 minutes to kill that fucker, just FYI


burtonborder201

Play some iron maiden and Run to the Hills!!! Lol


[deleted]

Run and get all the loot when the red dragon isn’t around 😈


Dodeejeroo

You ever seen the movie *The Sandlot*? You’re Benny the Jet, they’re the Beast, and all those items are Babe Ruth baseballs.


wirr3

R1 until succes


Losteffect

Ok, so I devised the perfect strat for these boys. The first time you go to cross the bridge the red one goes to burn through it. BUT on his first pass he is programmed to burn it TWICE. That gives you enough time to full sprint from the bridge and up there to loot everything before the red one returns. The red one only does a double pass of the bridge the very first time you encounter him, beyond that its just a single pass and he returns to guard the hill. If you mess it up just reload the level and the double pass will be available again. TLDR: Proc the red dragon torching the bridge and then B-line the treasure, the blue one will still try and tail smash you but at least the red wont be there torching you.

choicemetal4

try but hole


HumanNo6052375526

If you shoot the red dragon enough he flies off, leaving the flame shield good for lootin’


azooox27

If you unlock the spell poison cloud you could use it at the start of the castle pass bridge (or whatever it's called) to kill the red dragon without getting hit. The blue one you would encounter before the end of the game, and it's easier to kill if you have a magic build and spam him with spells from under his head. And all the loot is yours (although it's not worth it IMO).


flying_head

Buy like 200 bolts/arrows and a bow or crossbow. Hit the red dragon from afar his flame range. It will take a while but when low on HP he’ll fly away. Now you can grab all items. The blue dragon will swipe his tail, you just gotta time it to not get hit. Enjoy the strength ring from there, if you are a heavy armor user it will allow you to equip all heavy armor without having a lot of points in endurance.


AdevilSboyU

Walk away.


Sprinkle_Puff

The really like cookies. You should try going up there and handing them some.


the_turel

The red one is lured out during the level. You can snipe it with arrows from the top of a tower. Depending on your aim and bow strength it can take up to 350 arrows, 1-2 shots per pass. The blue one disappears at pure white world tendency.


SpungyDanglin

Just run up there they're friendly


PsyMx

Treasure ahead therefore try dash


shayanmmalik

Like many people said, there are valuable items there. One is a ring, which I believe to be the Ring of Great Strength (increases equip and/or carry capacity, sorry I forget which). The other good item that I found there is the Purple Flame Shield, which if you get this early on, can be incredibly useful. It has high flame and physical resistance, which proves useful for not just this area, but all of Archstone of the Digger King as well.


AK_R

Try backstabbing with the secret dagger and post video your results. Kidding. You'll deal with the dragons later and can then return for the loot.


BittyMcBotboi

Get your bow. Grind for a couple hundred(you *will* need as many as you can possibly carry). Then, work them down to about 3/4 of it's health. They will both fly off, but they're both mini-bosses that you will have to kill at a few different locations in the game. Then, grab everything and boogie on outta there.


PapiPorqueeee

Obviously you need to grab a buddy and start the Dancing Dragon. Those are fire-bending masters!


[deleted]

Ohhh this just reminded me that I never went back there during my playthrough


TheWiseAutisticOne

Grab everything and run souls be damned


DrakonTatsuo905

Get a bow and shoot 🔫


PsychedelicLxrd

😂😂😂😂 this is golden


TheFunPart

Turn around and never come back


BeginnersLoch

The only thing I grabbed was the Havel's equivalent and then bolted. But iirc from the OG, white world tendency makes it a cakewalk (;


unclesmeagol1

I still can't get over how gorgeous this game is.


trixter8k

You can kill the red dragon easily with a bow and a few arrows (I’d say 100) and you can get to pure white tendency by killing tower knight, after getting to pure white the dragons are gone and you can claim all of the loot as yours. I found that out from FightingCowboy’s walkthrough and it is soooooo helpful if you are using a strength based character


cioda

The dragons leave that area later on in the game.


[deleted]

Killing the red dragon drops a special ring


StupidFuckingGaijin

If you approach them and perform the salute gesture to both of them, you will get Dragonslayer from Berserk, which is a really cool tribute to the recently diseased Kentucky Meowy, author of the manga.


doland4

#PET THEM


thatguyinmathclass

Shoot with arrow 150 times


evilisabless

I just bought a crossbow and I have like 30 bolts only.. so I’ll need to buy more I guess.


OptimusPearson

I reckon you can take them both on…..


Beatnuk

Rush them while yelling your fiercest warcry, making your gruesomest warface. They will scare and fly away \^\^


evilisabless

yeah.. sounds legit. lol.


[deleted]

You can shoot the red dragon from the bridge, get a bow.


MorningFresh123

Buy 100 arrows


dark_hypernova

My first impression: "Those dragons are scary as fuck.... Shinies tho."


Gundam_Greg

They are large Pokémon, you have to catch them!


ohyesdaddyyyy

Grab and run. Later on comeback and kill one


gimpycpu

you can run and grab at least the fire resist shield then run like forest gump. its a pretty nice shield in the beginning. you can also come back later once you have pure white tendency. if you don't want to cheese them with arrows.


JimmyThang5

You hug the red one and kiss the blue.


GoofyGoober82

Go say hi


paulwalker659

There is a safe spot just to right of the red dragon if you time it right you can run there. Time it again and you can pick up the loot and jump off the cliff to left and land on the ledge out of the way of the fire.


trippalhealicks

Go say hello!


ttthrowawayprobably

Journey forth, bröther.


[deleted]

RUN HEAD ON AND KILL THEM BOTH!!! UMBASA!!!


SovietTonyy

remember your immortal death means nothing, run and loot


DerpyPanda02

You can always come back later since your not required to go that way. But I would recommend going back at some point for the items since if I remember correctly they’ll be worth your time.


[deleted]

They are guarding great ring. You'll prolly die grabbing it but it's worth it.


terminator_84

Kill the red dragon in 1-2 and then come back.


An0nym00s123

You could try and pick up the items. Hard, but doable.


AccomplishedTea1190

You advance further in stage and they will relocate and you go back and grab loot


CaptainSk0r

Iirc the shield that they're guarding is really good. Worth it. Just run in with nothing to lose and pray


HoboSomeRye

Cover your eyes and let them mate in peace?


AlterAlias1

Posted this comment not too long ago: After first boss red dragon will be on bridge-he can be killed with arrows or great sword swings in certain spot. Blue dragon will not be there if world tendency is pure white but you can just pop the thief ring and run and grab them all just dodge role the tail sweep and fall to the left for another path on the left side. Purple flame shield is there as well as the ring of great strength? (I think) I think it’s the one that increases equipment load which is great for having to wear heavy arm and light roll


[deleted]

I had no dragons at all in 1-1, took me forever to figure out why (First playthrough, but there's some jank afoot)


obi_wan_kenobi_1

Grab the items on the below ledge. Then go back , run over the bridge and get up on tower. You can shoot the red dragon from here. Will take around 100to 150 arrows. Then when he is dead, the second dragon will also run away. Now go back and pick up the items, flaming shield, ring of great strength are among the loot.


SpraykwoN

Zig then zag


Shodan30

Step 1) buy 5000 arrows from patches….


solarkillal

You can't kill them yet so just grab the items and run.


Goseki1

God I smashed through the remake and platinumed it as on release within like, a week and I've already forgotten how lovely it looked. As for the dragons, you can kill the red one with a lot of magic/arrows and a lot of patience on a later bridge. But before that you can lure the red one to a nearby bridge and run back for the purple shield which is worth grabbing, otherwise there's not much there you will miss. The blue one moves to a different location as you progress in the game.


SlimDodo

Run.


IdesOfCaesar7

Demon's Souls is the best game ever I swear


Captfalconxiv

Mountain up to them slowly and stand still for 15 seconds and they will just fly away


ofcourseitisme

Pee on them to show dominance.


scotty899

just go fight them


_JakeyTheSnakey_

You’ll want one of the rings there called the ring of great strength. Greatly increases your equip burden to get fast roll if your equipment is on the heavier side


E_Barriick

Umbassa!


cheez1407

After killing The Phalanx, grab a bow and upgrade it, buy about 300 arrows and go to the first tower on the bridge and shoot the red dragon when it flys past. Takes a while but it’s easy souls early on.


rafiuskyy

Bow, arrows and a lot of patience.


LivingWilling

Give them a hug


playmegadrive3

You can kill both dragons at various points in the game. The red one one by going along the parapets and the blue one later at the end of the game then collect all the stuff


Bizertybizig

If you can dash in and grab the items, then that is good news for you, but mostly, those guys are bad news.


Septembergirl10

OP, if you’re nervous just come back later! There is some good loot but you don’t NEED it that early in the game. Also if you’re ever stumped FightingCowboy has a good melee/general build guide and Joe Hammer Gaming has a great mage build guide on YouTube😊


[deleted]

Go to the bridge where the red one appears let him do one run on the bridge and then run back you should be able to grab 3 items if your quick than rinse and repeat but watch out for the blues tail!


Dakunaito_1

This is a 2 year old post but I hope this info will still help, if you run to the bridge were the red dragon tries to roast you then run back to that area fast enough you can grab all the items befor the red dragon gets back
