How hard is Tree Sentinel compared to the other bosses?

[Noobc0re]

I have to ask because his moves are ♥♥♥♥♥♥! There is no reasonableness to them in terms of timing, when he uses them, their hitbox, angle etc.

If every boss is constructed like this it's not worth playing because you can't learn moves that don't function consistenly.

[Neuro JItsu]

He is actually VERY hard, but in a specific sense - at the point in the game where most people fight him, they are not skilled enough for the fight. I do not mean that as an insult ;-) just that you're still learning the game at that point. And on top of that your stats are likely low and your weapons stink.

Take heart - your weapons and skills will improve the longer you play and keep at it. Just be patient, don't lose your cool, keep trying and on occasion try different things (like blocking all one fight, then dodging for all of another, doing it yourself once and then with a summon, etc.). You *will* learn and get better.

Take it from me - I'm 52 and have s*** reflexes and s*** vision, LOL. But I've gotten fairly decent at this game with practice. Tree Sentinel killed me about 10-15 times before I took him out. But after that, and after fighting regular minions on horseback, and fighting Night's Cavalry (a fairly similar boss, though not as nasty) in four or five places - I got gud. Gud as in when I fought (MILD SPOILER) two Tree Sentinels at once, I beat them first try. And then when I fought Draconic Tree Sentinel (who mops the floor with the one you're fighting), I whipped him first try too.

Hang in there - this game is like typing or weightlifting or any other thing that the more time you put into it, the better you get at it. Don't expect to be awesome at first - it will come in time. And there is no shame in watching a couple Youtube vids to see how some people approach a given boss - you don't have to reinvent the wheel on your own, and some folks might have spotted something or tried a tactic you never would have.

I would recommend sneaking past Tree sentinel for now. Go to the church behind him and buy some stuff from the merchant, his notes are useful and can be found on the last page of your inventory. Other places of interest would be the beach and a cave there, to the northish is a big gate in the cliffs infront of a large soldiers camp with some good loot in a basement and a cutscene at the nearby grace site. And south of the limgrave area is a bridge to the weeping peninsula which is very much worth checking out once you get the physic flask.

uninstall the game bro. your garbage

[Netsa]

Just ignore everyone calling him an easy boss. Pretty much everyone died to him the first several times until they learned his moveset (unless they leveled up before fighting him).

Get a 100% physical shield and just be patient. You'll begin to find his moves predictable and telegraphed.

Be careful with this, since the shield during his shield slam can hit you directly, making the attack hit twice.

If you can't kill the tree sentinel, then yeah you probably should uninstall. His moves are easily dodge-able. His hitboxes are normal. There is nothing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about him, you are just bad at the game.

To be honest, that boss only gives you 2000 runes after you beat it. I rather do something else and come back to it later than to waste hours upon hours if I can't beat it. I have seen streamers wasting their time doing it from the onset they started the game. I just switch off and go watch something else.

best way to fight this guy if u wanna do it with out much grinding is get your horse. Horse battle is easier than dodging

I found horse battle vs tree sentinel way harder than normal dodging. Its harder to time my movement against his than it is to time a button press for i frames for some reason.

[SoloQ]

Pretty much all of them.
99% of the time i've dropped a boss they didn't pull out their entire kit.
I watched a "speed run" where the boss didn't even move.
Welcome to a Fromsoft game.

I did that the first time fighting him (of course, I'm not a streamer). Every subsequent playthrough, yeah, I just skipped him since he's not worth it.

Come back later to snatch that halberd out of his hands if you want it.

Actually in my first play thru, I used horse combat to solo it. Its was relatively easier for me, based on my experience. But after finding that the reward is not worth the effort. I ignored it for my other play thru, going back to it when I done with something else.

I can see why some people find horse combat difficult, it varies with players or the weapon they use. For me it was easier on horse with a pole arm. Just hit and run, rinse and repeat. A sword is good too as you can make quick slashes.

I don't lock on by the way, the camera is bad for mounted combat.

Completely agree. Not worth the effort.

You're gettin filtered

These types of bosses are just bull**** mechanics basically. He will do things like spam that lighting attack non-stop and he's on a horse too, and fighting him on Torrent is completely ineffective.

I beat him both melee and magic, but I find bosses like Malenia, Godfrey, Maliketh, even early game like Loretta or Margit a lot more playable. They are more fun to fight.

You will get a lot of those types of bosses peppered in the game areas (Black Blade Kindred, Death Rite Bird etc). It's best to completely ignore them and fight the enjoyable ones instead in my opinion.

[Player Zer01]

hes medium. the reason hes seems very hard is because he is the first enemy you encounter in coming out of the door. best thing to do if you want to fight him is do only 2 hits then watch and dodge or do a jump attack then watch and dodge. also you want to dodge to the back of the horse or the front of the horse.

dodging to the back will cause him to usually sprint away from you which allows you time to set up and attack again. dodging to the front will usually have the horse raise its hooves to try and stomp on you which is very easy to dodge and punish. after it stomps it will usually sprint away from you again allowing you to set up for attacks.

its all about learning the mini boss. you can, if your pride will allow it, NOT FIGHT HIM and return when youre stronger with higher leveled weapons. the common thing most people seem to have and not wanting to give up is their pride. you dont have to fight EVERYTHING at bare minimum, this only make it harder on you. play smarter not harder.

even miyazaki has stated you can always fight things later.
