Elden Ring Erdtree DLC - Scadutree Avatar Boss Fight (4K)

Not gonna lie, i was hoping they would dig deeper into the fakeouts. Like, have "ENEMY FELLED" pop up after the first phase, then "GREAT ENEMY FELLED" after the second phase, and finally end it with "LEGEND FELLED"

Wow, the Golden Mask clearly let himself go!...

I just beat this boss a bit ago. Super awesome fight imo. My heart was racing during the second and third phase. Beating it felt amazing.

Oh look. It's the Bed of Chaos if the Bed of Chaos was actually good

something interesting is once you beat it the gold in the swamps gone. i was wanting to look at it because it was cool coming into the fight but noted it was lacking, only the reflection of the tree remained in those waters. But i guess that explains how the avatar kept coming back by soaking all the tree's golden ichor up for a revive

I felt sad facing this Boss, it seems that every time he "died" he came back weaker and the music also helped, I almost felt bad for killing him

The scadutree is often symbolized by themes of being curled together. The tree itself is shaped like two trees in an embrace. The scadutree's body is the same. I think its interesting how during its "explosion" attack, it unfurls 2:38 IRL, theres these trees called "Fortune trees", a type of tree that is twisted like a braid, and its said to hold good fortune within the tight coils.

Of course it's a swamp.

Well… he sure made this look a lot easier than what I’ve been experiencing 😂

Bro I almost cried when he appeared a third time. It took me over 20 attempts to get to the second death and my happy ass just assumed it was a two-fer. Mans came back again and I had no pots no buffs and less than a third health 😂😢

Am I crazy or did they nerf the mimic tear AI? Homie used to be cold blooded but now he literally just walks around staring at nothing while I’m getting creamed.

It kinda looks like the flower fron the Living Failures boss arena.

They thought: What if we make a boss that is a sunflower that is better than 80% of our base game? And, Sunflower is a great bossfight, it blooms 3 times and the last one is almost out of energy. The music represents this very well. A great boss

Ebrietas, it's nice to see you again

Flame scorpion talisman, Hefty furnace pot, Oil soaked tear absolutely tears this boss apart.

This feels so much like Ebrietes from Bloodborne

Imagine how cool it would be to have a legacy dungeon in the scadutree. Or the erdtee. Any big tree for that matter.

This fight was annoying but I managed. This thing is extremely wesk to fire and frenzied burst was my savior when it was far away, high damage plus high muzzle velocity to snipe the face from a distance. I also exploited it's common double spin attack, after the second spin i would be under it and launch the new Flame Skewer ash of war into it's face for a ton of damage as well. Strongly recommend fire if your build can accommodate it.

Mage don’t dodge

Tips for melee/strength builds, because you will get damaged a lot - boss is weak to fire so get a fire weapon, I used firespark perfume bottle, you can google on where to get it - I put bloodhound step so that I can get a huge window for evading attacks, remember to at least get your weapon to +24 - get familiar with the attack patterns, gonna save you some healing pots, especially if you use bloodhound step like me - The head is the weakspot, attacking the head rips out a huge chunks of it's health - If you want to summon a mimic tear, summon it only after the first phase, the mimic should survive to the end - there are a few attacks in each phase where the head will be staying still, a jump + normal attack or jump + charged attack the head, at the very least you get one good hit on the head good luck, I honestly don't like this boss, more annoying than hard.
