Rotten Breath is an incantation for players looking to spill toxic fumes on the Lands Between in Elden Ring. This offensive incantation can be used to bring down even the toughest of enemies.
Something else that makes it all the more important for you to get the incantation is that some bosses are weak against Rotten Breath in Elden Ring. To exploit their weaknesses to do the most damage, you need to know where to get the incantation.
Where to find Rotten Breath in Elden Ring?
Rotten Breath is highly effective against bosses and can prove most useful in situations where players are being overwhelmed by enemies. It’s specifically deadly against Radahn. Use it against him and run away until he gets melted.
Rotten Breath is a purchasable incantation in Elden Ring but requires a Dragon Heart instead of Runes. Hence, requiring the killing of a dragon.
The location where you can purchase Rotten Breath in Elden Ring is the Cathedral of Dragon Communion. This is a church located southwest of Caelid and contains not only Rotten Breath but also a handful of other useful Incantations.
The Cathedral of Dragon Communion should not be confused with the Church of Dragon Communion which is the lower-level version containing mediocre-level incantations.
How to get a Dragon Heart in Elden Ring
There’s a giant dragon resting in Caelid who will not fight back no matter how much damage you do to him. Head to the Fort Faroth Site of Grace and then travel west from the site of Grace unless you see a huge feather-covered tail on the ground.
Begin with the tail of the dragon. You will see its health bar the moment you start attacking. This is also when you will realize that it is going to take you a lot of time to kill the dragon because its health pool is massive.
However, since the dragon does not fight back, you can take your time. You will get a Dragon Heart and 80,000 Runes once it is dead.
This is easily the best location to get a Dragon Heart.
