Dryleaf Dane | Elden Ring Wiki

i love frametraps

Submit

Simply Forget your fear; i was struggling to beat him trying to parry or roll out of his attacks; then i just used dual daggers and stunlocked him. He loves playing super aggressive, but he has low poise, even daggers will stunlock him.

Submit

The wholesome chungus NPC, apparently.

Realistically, pathetic sort ahead.

Submit

he literally has mozgus fit from berserk

Submit

I ditched my weapons and fought this dude in a fist fight. No miracles, no buffs, no sorceries and incantations, no hacks and cheeses. Whooped him easy on 1 try.

Can't beat him? Sounds like skill issue to me.

Submit

this guy is a clown. a typical dishonest clown from arena. he uses only fists but also uses range miracles to get you when you are about to die. just a clown.

Submit

Unc was bald and died before 'quella could give him a crispy cut. That's just sad.

Submit

"You serve a higher purpose, crusader"

Submit

swords are invented buddy. i have a spare claymore if you need a real weapon.

Submit

3800 runes for beating him (1v1) on ng2+ lmao

Submit

who bro think he is

Submit

He has a very badass dialogue on defeat during the NPC rumble. Makes sense to down him last.

Submit

cant beat him, could be bugged?

Submit

For anyone doing this at RL1 WL0, you can cheese his first encounter by doing a simple parkour up the tree from the building next to it, do a couple jumps upwards and he'll throw a tantrum beneath you. From here on Night Maidens Mist is a good spell to kill him. May the cheesiest one win

Submit

Immune to deathblight. Man this game sucks. Why even bother having that element if you can't use it on anyone but other players?

Submit

"At the High Road Cross Site of Grace, you can pick up Monk's Missive and the May the Best Win Gesture, which are needed for Dryleaf Dane's questline." what questline? the next time you encounter him is in the group fight. I don't see any questline in the wiki.

Submit

Dragonmaw eats this man alive in the 1v1

Submit

VIVE LE KUN FU !!!!!!!!!!!!

Submit

Good, now we can fight as warriors! Hand to hand, it is the basis of all combat! Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon!

Submit

I fought(and won) him with the gesture and nothing appeared to collect, is it a bug?

Submit

we see the fit, dane...

Submit

Evil Exacter Dunmire be like

Submit

If aura farming was a person:

Submit

biggest aura farmer in elden ring

Submit

The most annoying out of all npc before Radahn. Constsntly spams stupid discus

Submit

"sorry, you're not a sigma"

Submit

Do you have to defeat his optional fight to summon him for Romina?

Submit

summon him to fight Romina: just gets smacked around and almost never attacks

he gets summoned to fight you: ultra instinct input-read dodges, endless stamina and combos

Submit

They really added the Monk class for the DLC huh? My DnD party DLC playthrough with friends will be LEGENDARY!

Submit

Last thing lvl 20 invader sees wondering how he ended up invading in that pink weird area with a fog gate

Submit

Left right goodnight

Submit

bloodflame incantation + rivers of blood for easy melt

Submit

If you plan to fight Dane by using the MAY THE BEST WIN gesture, to make this fight a walk in the park, equip the strongest physical damage armor and talisman you got before you use the gesture and then use the ironjar aromatic once the fight start to turn your self into iron and just poise through all his attacks. Just keep attacking as he wont be able to stop you much.

Fight was mad easy this way, was over in mere seconds.

Submit

Unassuming but mysterious character whose sect may be very ancient indeed—perhaps connected to the long-lost Sun Realm. If the eras of Elden Ring are indeed cyclical, the Dryleaf Sect would be an autumnal symbol. Austere ascetics of an age past its prime.

"He's been in the service of Miquella the Kind longer than I."
"sun-faded...worn by clergymen"

"The fallen leaves tell a story"

Submit

I used Inescapeable Frenzy with the Radagon Icon on him. You can just spam it. FP running out and getting self-madness is the only thing stopping the chain.

Submit

>is part of a sect that rejects faith as a form of self sustainment and improvement
>said sect had felt the winds change before the shattering which was caused by marika
>same sect now vows to serve miquella since they now think that marika's son, known for passively charming any and all people he encounters and bringing them under his control whether willingly or not, would be any better in the position of god for some reason

how does this track?

Submit

If you preforme "may the best win" gesture you will fight him as a boss

Submit

It's funny when he dropkicked me in the back of the head

Submit

Felt a little disingenuous to use giant crusher during our bout but he got what he had asked for

Submit

I'm praying this guy's a hint to a martial arts-focused Fromsoft game.

Submit

Ensha if he was actually cool and not just a mute edgelord

Submit

He beat me the first attempt because I was tryna use slow attacks that don't outright flatten him (Moonlight Greatsword) and he did some kinda big ol punch that took out most of my health.

Second try I just used Gavel of Haima 15 or so times and he died with minimal effort. I feel bad.

Submit

used fingerprint shield on him with shieldcrash ash of war i knew he was fast so i didnt let him get up he died of frenzy by the 4x.

Submit

His voice is very haunting especially if he is the last one to die in the Leda fight

Submit

"This sect rejects dependence on others in all matters of faith, seeking self-discipline and self-sufficiency above all else."
"Those who saw the decline of the Erdtree in the fallen leaves long ago braced themselves for the weakening of Order, and embraced a strict faith. And then, they made to serve a new god."
"Oh, that man is known as Dane. He's been in the service of Miquella the Kind longer than I."
Isn't it weird that Dane, and the dryleaf sect, would be in service to Miquella given the empyrean's motivations? His ascendency to godhood would be the end of self-sufficiency and self-discipline as a concept in the lands between, causality would essentially nearly cease to exist so why would they serve him? In a way, asceticism mirrors miquella's need to divest himself of everything, maybe Dane see's this as the ultimate sacrifice of worldly pleasures, like *the* most important thing to the dryleaf sect- maybe thats why they follow miquella regardless of his intentions. Its also weird how long Dane's been following miquella, did the leafs fall before the shattering or after it?

Submit

I don't it's mentioned here or if this has any effect story-wise, he can be summoned for the Saint of Bud boss fight. His summon sign is before fog on the right side if you're facing boss room from the grace.

Submit

That loser HACKetaka MIDazaki thought he was cooking when he wasn’t even 1000 miles near a kitchen

Submit

Don’t overthink this. Don’t prebuff, don’t strategize, change talismans etc etc etc. just whip out the carian slicer and be done with it. His unlimited stamina made this an unfun fight before I figured that out. Carian slicer kept this guy stunlocked. Any other quick weapon will do too. It would be a badass fight if he shared any of the stamina limitations we do.

Submit

If you're having trouble beating him, just spam Noble Presence. It stun-locks him.

Submit

Imagine being some autistic mute karatekid playing knights with your friends in your little never never land and then some bully from lands between comes to beat you up and steals your hat. Then you round up your buddies to fight the ”big bad bully” and he just proceeds to beat you again along with all your friends too.

Submit

This guy is really cool. It sucks so much we can't make him take our side like Thiollier and Ansbach

Submit

Uh, so basically I just gotta smack him as soon as I meet him? Straightforward. I like him already.

Submit

Well 1st off, if one trys to incorporate any of his teaching. His equipment would give you unlimited stamina and 2x health. Then one other item for heavy armor that weighs nothing. Then this npc would have been making some sense. But...say it again, fromsoft makes another boss/npc over powered and unrealistic and upon receiving the loot. Left with nothing more than a Deprived from DS3.

Submit

He hits hard.

Submit

Hey man let me breathe LET ME BREATHE

Submit

...

Submit

Dryleaf Dane is a very gud fighting man

Submit

Uh...anyone else get him as a summon to fight against Romina? Just did and have a screenshot. Interesting no mention from FL here...

Submit

So after killing Forrest in Cyberpunk 2077... dude reincarnates as a mute martial artist in Elden ring?

Submit

I wonder what Endurance and Vigor levels a player would need to have in order to match Dane's HP and Stamina. Are we talking hundreds or thousands?

Submit

MFer has infinite stamina

Submit

i accidentally attacked him at moore ruins, and I can't use absolution so am i just screwed?

Submit

In our first encounter, it felt a bit wrong to challenge him with swords instead of fists. So I remembered the Cipher Pata and Grafted Dragon in my back pocket and it made for a very enjoyable fight. I'm not sure he'd enjoy my frequent use of "Bear Witness !!!" tho x)

Submit

Needlenose Leda and Dirty Dan

Submit

This guy's name should be "Dane 'Parry Me to Death' Dryleaf"

Submit

I love this game so much but I literally had no clue this guy existed until the final encounter. I was so confused when Leda mentioned him. Really hope they make quests like his a little more obvious next game they release because I'm really bummed to be missing out on his dryleaf arts.

Submit

i swear it feels like he runs faster than me

Submit

Kung Lao

Submit

dry queef dane

Submit

"When you find me, challenge me to a bout. There is no need for words." Cool af line.

Submit

Dryleaf Dane only talks after you defeat Him and Leda and her allies.... after Death he says:..... Be Sure to drink your ovaltine.

Submit

1V1'ing Dane using dryleaf arts while ensbach and thiolier deal with Leda and moor with an experience like no other, everyone was indeed kung-fu fighting

Submit

You can also summon this dude for the bug lady fight in the ruins

Submit

A man of few words and HP

Submit

It makes no sense that there's no way to get him on your side, and there's no explanation as to why he even likes Miquella.

Has anyone tried to 1v1 him in hand to hand combat? Maybe he's mad everyone keeps using weapons lol.

Submit

drops mewing gesture

Submit

Absolute Gigachad, words aren't needed when you just understand the assigment

Submit

I thought this was going to be yet another relevant/important NPC that has no dialogue (Ricard, Havel, etc.) but thankfully he does have ONE line when you beat him in the big NPC battle royale. I guess he's just a man of few words.

Submit

This dude is dope

Submit

After you beat him at moorth, he leaves a message next to his hat and weapon. Does anyone remember what he said?

Submit

Dryleaf Dane only ever talks after you kill him in the battle with Leda and her allies :

"Kind Miquella... In godhood shall you rise"

Submit

honorable fight. 10/10

Submit

If you beat him in the later boss fight, you will be unable to obtain his fist weapon.

Submit

He doesn't use flasks, I respect that. I restarted the duel to fight him again without using flasks too.

Submit

To strive in darkness, in light we walk

Submit

Kung Lao

Submit

**** this, I have tried to get this man to fight me for a week straight at this point, tried bringing items to him, looking for him "in the east", attacking his illusion with fist weapons, talking to him over and over, even some shouting gestures... And of course it was a geture. I don't even remember getting it -_-

Now he's dead after the group invasion...

Submit

Drybeef Bane

Submit

He leaves Moorth if you initiate the Vs followers of Miquella boss fight. I can’t get him to reappear.

Submit

My man literally couldnt get off a single attack against carian piercer

Submit

he has 16 198 hp

Submit

Okay the fact they SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED a loading arena just so you can have your Duel Is Extremely Cool! , Gesturing him that you want to have a standoff makes this feel way way more special than just "reload after giving item and loot it off his dead corpse"

Submit

He's got no poise, so quick weapons make quick work of him. I was testing out Blood-infused Pata with Barbaric Roar while roaming, and he basically couldn't do a thing about it. I imagine dual daggers, claws, and other fist weapons would accomplish much the same.

Submit

blind hero

Submit

I put on Caestus and fought him. Actually went down pretty easy. I recommend it for a proper standoff.

Submit

Anyone know the lore as to why he helps you with Romina and has his ash in the same area? Did he go on a date with her before the whole rot thing?

Submit

for mages just spam star shower preferably with magic damage stacked and keep moving back, he will side roll all the time and give you some space

Submit

Father Mozgus

Submit

Beast claws stagger the hell out of him

Submit

This NPC reminds me of Dunmire from Lords of the Fallen
