I’ll be honest: when I first stumbled into Greymoor and heard that fang-toothed screech, I thought I’d hit a wall. Moorwing, the flying terror guarding the brass gates of Bellhart, is no pushover. But after a few frustrating attempts, I discovered a game-changer — a certain knight and his trusty steed who turned the tide. Here’s how I did it, and how you can too.

Before you even think about challenging Moorwing, I strongly recommend finding Garmond and Zara. Not only does summoning them progress their questline, but they also make the fight significantly easier. Trust me, you’ll want the backup. To find them, you first need to have progressed into the Greymoor area. They have two possible locations.

First location: In a metal cage accessible through the west lighthouse. From the Halfway House, head west. Take the door in the bottom-left corner of the next room to enter the lighthouse. Go up and take the first available right. You’ll spot them caged up.

Second location: West of the lighthouse where you first found them. Go through the lighthouse’s bottom-left exit, drop down, and check the alcove on the right. Garmond should be mounted on Zara. He’ll ask if you want their assistance for the upcoming fight. Select ‘Yes’ — they’ll appear a few seconds into your encounter with Moorwing.

Now, onto the fight itself. When you reach Moorwing at the bottom-left corner of Greymoor, he’ll scream and begin his first phase. You have about six seconds to yourself before Garmond and Zara ride in. Their arrival is a relief for two reasons: they deal extra damage to Moorwing,
