- Ancient Dragon Florissax

The Dragon Communion Priestess or Ancient Dragon Florissax is a NPC in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Overview

Florissax is an Ancient Dragon who assumed a human form to share Dragon Comunion with the world. A loyal servant of Dragonlord Placidusax, Florissax offers her sleep to her lord each night, to receive his blessing in turn. She seeks to aid in the destruction of Bayle the Dread, a Dragon who turned on Placidusax and inflicted a grievous wound upon him long ago.

When she meets the Tarnished, Florissax reveals the true purpose of Dragon Communion: to hunt and devour Bayle and his bloodline. She encourages the Tarnished to partake in Dragon Communion, and urges them to slay Bayle.

The Tarnished may give her Thiollier's Concoction, causing her to fall asleep and break her pledge to Placidusax. If the Tarnished admits to doing so, Florissax will declare them to be her new Lord, becoming a spirit ash.

English Dialogue
Introduction
Warrior true.
Picture yourself. Feasting upon a dragon's essence.
On the throbbing heart of the oldest, vilest dragon of them all.
It would be the purest form of Communion.
The fullest sating of your hunger,
and your consummation, as a dragon whole.
"Devour draconic essence"
Yes, as it should be.
Now, seek the jagged peak.
There you will find Bayle, the oldest, and vilest, of all dragons.
Landbound warrior. Follow your desire, and slay the foul beast.
Devour its throbbing heart.
I will grant you the strength required.
In the name of my lord, Placidusax.
"Do not partake"
Perhaps you have yet to feel true want.
I am patient.
There will come a day when hunger knocks.
If talked to again after selecting "Do not partake"
Warrior true. Do you feel the hunger?
Then why not feast upon a dragon's essence.
On the throbbing heart of the oldest, vilest dragon of them all.
If talked to again
Warrior true. What is it that you need?
"Ask for power"
Very well.
If you hunger for Dragon Communion,
and seek to slay Bayle, the vilest of dragons,
then I shall grant you strength time and again.
In the name of my lord, Placidusax.
"Ask about Bayle"
In a time long past, Bayle turned upon the Dragonlord.
The foul traitor assailed our master and inflicted a grievous wound, only to make a hasty retreat.
...Becoming a sworn enemy of the brood.
Since that day, Bayle and his bloodline—the drakes— have served as sacrifices for Dragon Communion.
Landbound warrior. My lord, Placidusax, has shown your kind what must be done.
Seek communion. Sate your boundless appetite.
Feel the euphoria of a dragon's essence taking root in your meagre frame.
"Ask 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.
Ambient dialogue (only at night)
My dear lord, Placidusax.
Tonight, like every night, my solace is yours.
May it grant you sleep, in your place beyond time.
If talked to at night
...
"Use Thioller's concoction"
Ah...
If talked to after using Thiollier's concoction
I have broken my pledge.
I succumbed to the deep slumber...
...that was meant for my Lord.
Twas a craven act! Of a foul and lowly beast!
Forgive me, good warrior.
My Lord will no longer look upon me.
I have fallen from grace. An old dragon no longer.
Go on, leave me be.
If talked to again
Go on, leave me be.
My Lord will no longer look upon me.
After defeating Bayle the Dread (if given Thiollier's Concoction)
Ahh, finally, our wish is granted.
Our dream, long yearned for, has come to pass.
My Lord was blessed with great insight.
He saw in the insatiable hunger and fierce spirit of man,
the very things that would fell Bayle, our wretched nemesis.
Warrior, you soar with the strength of dragons.
Whereas I am fallen. Leave me be.
If talked to again
Good warrior, leave me be.
I can call myself an old dragon no longer.
"Confess to putting her to sleep"
Is that the truth?
Never, in all my years...
How could you inflict such cruelty?
No, that is not for me to judge.
Whatever your hand in it, it was I who succumbed to the sweetness of slumber.
The fault lies with me.
I may be fallen, but I need not surrender my honour.
On second thought,
I believe you do owe me something for the transgression.
On a mere whim, you've stripped me of my one and only Lord.
As such, I require another—you.
One day, may you become a dragon whole, a Lord of your own making.
Lead me, and I will follow.
My good Lord.

Notes

• The base game previously established a dragons' ability to take on a human form with Ancient Dragon Lansseax, although the Priestess marks the first example of this that the player can encounter.
