Ancient Dragon

==Summary==
The Ancient Dragon is an optional boss in Dark Souls 2. It is an enormous dragon found at the peak of the Dragon Shrine.
The Ancient Dragon appears as a Everlasting Dragon of old, however character dialogue suggests that it is merely a copy, or a dragon brought back to life by Aldia through the power of a Giant Soul. Undead seek the Ancient Dragon's advice for breaking their curse.
