Dragonlord Placidusax is a Legend Boss in Elden Ring. This massive, two-headed dragon is found in Crumbling Farum Azula. He was Elden Lord at some time before the reign of Marika and the Golden Order and presumably ruled alongside his god, who later fled. The Old Lord's Talisman suggests that Placidusax had at least two more heads that had been removed by the time the Tarnished reaches him.

This is an optional boss, as players don't need to defeat it in order to advance in Elden Ring.

Closest Site of Grace: Beside the Great Bridge

Suggested Spirit Ashes: Black Knife Tiche, Mimic Tear

The safest spot to attack Placidusax is around the base of his tail near his hind legs, behind his wings. This puts you in a position where you will avoid his wing ram, won’t trigger his tail swipe, and unlike other dragons, he has no attacks with his back feet that you’ll have to worry about.

Shard Spiral can deal tremendous damage to the boss (enough to even skip the 2nd phase if lucky).
Night Maiden’s Mist can be highly effective, as it often stands still when attacking, while Tiche or some other summon draws most of his attention.

Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike (the method that worked for me). Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike is able to shred the Dragonlord's HP a lot faster so it is recommended if you have high FP. If you manage to stand close to him you can melt him with just 3 hits (!) before he even goes to 2nd phase!!!

In this video I tried to beat him with Envoy's Weapons and armor. These are:
Envoy's Greathorn is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring.
Weapon Skill: Great Oracular Bubble

Envoy's Long Horn is a Great Hammer (Warhammer) in Elden Ring
Weapon Skill: Bubble Shower
Skill Description: Blow on the horn to release a spume of magic bubbles.
The bubbles float gently before raining down on the target.

Envoy Crown is a Helm in Elden Ring. Envoy Crown is a unique item not part of a set.

The Envoy items can be found at:
Miquella's Haligtree. Southeast of the Haligtree Canopy site of grace. (At the top of the branch that the Giant Ants patrol, on a corpse behind an Oracle Envoy Giant.)

Drops Remembrance of the Dragonlord.

Enjoy!
