what's the recommended level for the tree sentinel

[Scorch Shot all Snipers]

I've been sitting here for an hour trying to figure this ♥♥♥♥ out. maybe i should make a second save with a character that doesn't have limp d1ck range on his weapon? I plateau at half hp and the furthest I've gotten is like 2/3s of his health bar. I've already leveled up twice and tried being a summon to see how people are dealing with it. so far all 3 hosts just run up to it instead of getting a free charged hit in first from stealth. I've still yet to beat him once in whichever case

[update] killed him with the mount. Way overthought it.

Once you get the horse you can just chip him down, simply be patient. Level is not too important there.

Whatever level you happen to be when you get Torrent. Once you get Torrent he's a joke. Same with the Night Cavalry. Most bosses you can use him on really.

Just out of the tutorial. If you can't beat it just out of the tutorial, you'd better uninstall.

You are supposed to fight him with your mount, apparently. The issue of that boss is that the hitboxes are all over the place, so you can get gimped really fast if the boss behaves weirdly. That said, its perfectly doable right out of the box. I think I killed him with lvl 7 or 8.

Make sure that once he starts using his shield to attack to keep in mind that the game tries to trick you with the shield slam. You have to roll later than you normally would to not get hit by the AOE. And I guess the only other dangerous attack that is hard to dodge is the horse side tackle.

Either try it till you are comfortable to dodge his attacks (i recommend doing that on a flat surface with lots of space) or come back later with the horse or if you are more lvled.

yeah I can't pilot the horse with proper I-frames with how much the game is stuttering. all I'm doing is waiting for a chain to finish before hitting ~2ce unmounted but he just kinda chains 2 hits together at some point in the fight and stunlocks me. 2 hits are more than enough to kill me and I even put my levels into vigor.

Night Cavalry is easier unmounted.

Easier, faster, or both? I just jousted both of them I found and only got hit by the halberd one once. It took maybe 5 minutes or so for both. The Tree Sentinel was even quicker and just as easy.

I'm not sure the horse has i-frames. You just need to be fast, hit him on pass-by and make distance to avoid being hit back.

Well with technical issues it might be up to impossible depending on how bad they are, sorry.

I died a few times on the horse. Unmounted and used my greatsword used my special attack which unmounted his horse. I backstabbed him 4 times. It's a curved gs that does a dancer style attack.

Ofcourse Night cavalry should be beat without horse... Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christ how can you even THINK about going after him on horse? Git Gud for real.

I was on the horse when I found him so I just jousted him. Sounds like I don't need to "git gud", did plenty fine already.

No the tree sentinel is the rider you see just after the tutorial, Big horse, heavy armor, on the way to the church. You're talking about the tree avatars, which are a different thing.
