Dire Raptors are, like Twilight Riders, adversaries that only appear in Elden Ring at night. However, unlike Riders, Raptors do not have an alternative appearance at dawn that would allow us to guess their locations. There is no indication to visualize their places of appearance.
However, a certain trend could be noticed: a majority of their appearances are ruins. However, we are not going to leave you with this information alone: you can find below all the places where these night birds appear.
Positions of the doom birds of prey
There are a total of 6 doom birds of prey to eliminate on Elden Ring. Two are in the Necrolimb region, two others in Liurnia, one in the Leyndell Capital and the last one hidden in the Giant’s Peaks. Below you will find written directions, as well as images of their respective positions so you can easily find them.
- Necrolimbus : One of the doom birds of prey is found on the ruin located southeast of the Warmaster’s Cabin. The other appears on one of the ruins located southwest of the “Howling Wind Castle Rampart” grace site.
- Liurnia : the two birds are hidden in the ruins of the swamp which surrounds the Academy of Raya Lucaria. One is hidden on the ruins located north of the “Scenic Island” grace site and the other will be on ruins located east of the Academy.
- Altus Plateau : The evil raptor is hidden on the small promontory of the first northern walls of the capital, just east of the Hermit Merchant’s Hut.
- Giant’s Peaks : The last bird is located west of the “Valley Ruins Overlook” grace site, on the path that leads to Solcastel Castle, where you can find Commander Niall.
Our tips for eliminating these opponents
Raptors are formidable opponents, but the fights become a little easier if you get behind them. Not having a tail, then especially because‘they are capable of breaking your skull with their beaks when you face it, Doom Raptors can’t really send you packing when you get behind them. The only thing they are capable of is swinging back with their sword or jumping to escape your embrace. By avoiding targeting their heads you will be able to take them out quite easily.
However, there is one raptor that must be taken even more seriously than its peers: that of the Peaks of the Giants. Equipped with powerful freezing power, you will have to be careful with each of your actions to avoid dying from the accumulation of freezing.not.
With a good vision of its patterns, but above all excellent reactivity, you will be able to eliminate it without summoning. Taking certain blows is permitted, but one of them must absolutely be avoided: the ice explosion. When the bird freezes and embraces its body, be ready to dodge, because he will inflict a big area attack on you, capable of eliminating you in a single hit. Getting distance won’t help, as the attack covers the entire arena.
