Crumbling Farum Azula is tough enough. It's plagued with dragons, archers, and magical enemies, all while you're suspended in the sky above the Land's Between, fighting back against old bosses now as regular enemies, on a conveyer belt to a tough penultimate duel that leads you right back to the capital for the final fight. But if you take a detour, you can fight a giant two-headed dragon in a foggy time chamber that feels like you've stumbled into the backrooms.

It could very well be that by placing themselves in a disillusioned time chamber separate from the world, Placidusax weakened and shrank as a result.
Or it could be their parents, another dragon, or something else entirely. But it does look suspiciously like Placidusax, so the theories are running
