WHO THE HELL IS DRAGON LORD PLACIDUSAX!?

[Papi_Teflon]

I'm on NG+ and I was roaming around Altus Plateau ready to fast travel to Castle Sol in Mountain of the Giants when I had a thought to visit the round table first before doing so. Then as I was scrolling through my list of grace sites I came across one that I don't remember unlocking from Farum Azula because I haven't kindled the flames at the forge yet in my second run. So being the curious one that I am I decided to fast travel there to see what's up. Little did I realise I was being put smack dab in the middle of an IMMEDIATE BOSS FIGHT against what is supposedly the "Lord of all Dragons". No warning, no cutscene, just straight up get your s**** together and fight. I quickly summoned my mimic tear to help me in the fight and got him first try. But I never seen this boss ever on my first run.

.... Upon writing this I'm just now realising that I remember seeing a dragon vanish in one of the areas in Farum Azula so that must have been Placidusax. Did I encounter some sort of glitch or "wrong warp" on my second run? because I don't remember taking any steps to reach this boss on my first run. Now all of a sudden the grace site appears on my second ...

he dreads

One Thing I never really paid attention to, but only realized after watching one of Zullie's vids about Bayle:
Placidusax's missing heads are actually impaled on Bayle's body.

I thought the people who had this happen to them were always is some sort of cooperation or invasion.
I'd love for it to happen to me :S

I just see people guessing it's because of some patches that opened a new bug.

It's been patched since. Haven't heard of it happening for 2 years or so.

A friend of mine was 'stuck' there some 6-7 months ago. I'd like to find a way to trigger it

This happened to me, I think I have a video of it let me see

Something something Placidusax was a big boy god dragon pre-erdtree. He fought the traitorous BAAAAAAAAAAYLE and lost a few heads.

The DLC dragon priestess and lore in items expound a little more.

B. S.
Plasticsacks was a traitor and sold out all the wingy sneks so he could get a piece of that golden ass-ets and become lord. Bayle is Braveheart.

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I'm aiming to get the "Lord of Frenzied Flame" Ending on my second run. So maybe accepting the blessing of the shocker....uhhh I mean 3 fingers to get the ending, might have exposed a bug in the game that allowed me to ft to Farum Azula early and fight this boss....

There's no way you warped to the arena with it not being a hack. That's not how you discover Placidusax.

How about you stop lying for attention, OP?

Are you dense or something? Why would I go out of my way to tell a false story to garner attention? Do I look like some sort of punk teen kid to you with nothing better to do other than make stuff up in forums to incite drama? Nice try bud. Come back next week and you can try your luck at the lottery again then.

Read what the others replied before you make any assumptions about me being some "top notch" hacker, as if I got all the time and patience in the world to be doing stupid s**** like that.

It is a decently well known glitch, evidenced by the replies in this thread.
