How To Unlock Dryleaf Arts
You can unlock the Dryleaf Arts weapon by defeating the NPC named Dryleaf Dane found at the Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus, near the east of Castle Ensis. To access this area, you will need to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:clear Castle Ensis, which means 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:defeating Rellana, Twin Moon Knight.
If you do not wish to deal with Rellana just yet, you can also reach the area via 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sealed Spiritspring next to Elder Hovel. Just make sure to unseal it by destroying a nearby rock formation. You can then use the Spiritspring to reach the ‘Behind the Fort of Reprimand’ Site of Grace an⛦d head n♊orth to get to the Moorth Ruins.
After you get to the Moorth Ruins, you will find Dryleaf Dane next to the Miquella Cross. If you try to speak with him here, he will not respond unless you find the and ‘May the Best Win’ gesture. In order to get these items, travel west to the ‘Highroad Cross’ Site of Grace. Here, you will find a note from Dryleaf Dane and the required ge꧟sture.
You will also be able to speak with Hornsent and Needle Knight Leda if you wish to pursue their questlines.
Return to Moorth Ruins and use ‘May the Best Win’ in front of Dryleaf Dane. To use it, open the menu, go to gestures, swap an equipped one with ‘May the Best Win’, and hit confirm. This will start a short boss fight against Dane.
If you try to attack Dane without the gest🐈ure, he will disappear and respawn once you rest at the Siteཧ of Grace.
How To Defeat Dryleaf Dane
Since he mostly relies on hand-to-hand combat, you can easily out-range him using Spears, Halberds, Greatswords, etc. His only ranged attack is a slow-moving projectileဣ that is easy to dodge.
He is also weak against bleeding, so if you are using something like , , , or any bleed-infused weapon, you should have no trouble with the fight. Also, he does not use any flasks, making it even easier.
If yo🥃u are unable to beat him, you should be able to restart the fight as many times as you w🎀ant.
When defeated, he will drop the Dryleaf Arts weapon and Dane Hat along with a note tel💯ling you not to grow complacent.
Dryleaf Arts Overview
The Dryleaf Arts weapon has a measly requirement of eight Strength and Dexterity.
You can also upgrade it to +25 using Smithing Stones. Moreover, it can be infused to inflict ailments on hits like bleed, poison, and frostbite or to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:change the stat scaling. For instance, it gets a B scaling in Strength and Dexterity with +25 Quality or an A in Strength with +25 Heavy infusion.
Its light attacks let you deliver punches that can be chained into a combo. The heavy attack, on the other hand, throws in kicks. We recommend using the running heavy attack, since it has a decent reach and deals good damage. However, the timing can be a little tricky against quicker foes.
Dryleaf Arts also comes with the Weapon Skill: Palm Blast, which lets you charge your fist for a devastating blow, but since it has a long charge-up time, it can leave you susceptible to attacks. When timed correctly, the Palm Blast can knock most enemies off their feet.
Lastly, it cannot be buffed using Greases, but y❀ou can swap out the Weapon Skill if you want.
How To Unlock Dane’s Footwork
Dane’s Footwork is another hand-to-hand art, but you cannot unlock it until the very end of Shadow of the Erdtree. It requires you to do the Leda questline until you arrive at Enir-Ilim.
During the fight with Needle Knight Leda, she will summon Dryleaf Dane to join the fray. If you manage to defeat him during the fight, you will be rewarded with , , , and , allowing you to cosplay Dryleaf Dane if yo🐎u want.
Unlike the Dryleaf Arts weapon, Dane’s Footwork primarily focuses on kicks. Other than that, they are pretty much the same except the Dryleaf Arts can be found way earlier compared to this.
