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.

He has a lot more openings for counter-attack than most enemies you'll see later. Especially if you use your horse and hit-and-run him to death. Just make sure you don't close in on him until after he's taken a swing.

I'd argue not to use Torrent at all. He will charge at you with a very obvious attack pattern, which is easy to dodge roll through if you time it right.

Same applies to Draconic Tree Sentinel, where the only real danger is the lightning if you mistime it, the slam and Fireball. The latter is easy to bait/follow up on if you already know the fight.

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.

same for me I hate the mounted combat in this game

He's actually a good fight with the best OST in the game.

Torrent trivializes the fight once you get him.

I think the design intent for the first Tree Sentinel was for players to fight him when they step out of the first dungeon --> get bodied --> avoid him --> get Torrent --> come back --> beat him.

Using hit and run tactics on Torrent is much easier than fighting TS (the first one, at least) while grounded imo.

It's easy, there are regular mobs stronger with more hp and more dynamic moves in some mid game places. You can skip him and come back later when you level up to 20 or 25 to deal more damage like I did. If you go mage you don't even need to learn attack patterns, just throw spells and run in circles like a coward.

Sentinel is a troll. He is harder than about half of the game. Most souls games have such impossible boss at the start. Elden Ring has three of them: spider boss at the start, Sentinel and Margot. Just accept you can’t win just yet and kill them much later.

Dragon Tree Sentinel is pretty low tier.

He only becomes difficult when you are far away because of his fireball/lightning attack tracking.

Ironically keeping up close and beating his ass is the safest thing to do.

OK, did you beat the draconic RL1? I think, he got a lot harder the moment, he can oneshot you with almost every hit and you have to dodge quite precise.

The regular Tree Sentinel is not that hard anymore imo. I can beat him straight up level 1 and unupgraded weapon, maybe not first try, but not many.I think, they made him less health or less defence or such. In Version 1.00, he was really hard, though

I kept getting my butt handed to me early game. I came back after beating Magret and wiped the floor with them. The trick is watching for his tells. Your horse is essential. I just ran circles around him and took swipes.

This is everything in the game unless you flask/perfume at RL1; that being said if i did RL1 DTS I would probably opt to one shot or cheese because I'm not a masochist but at normal levels at normal progression DTS isn't much of an obstacle as it is spectacle.

I'm RL1 at Maliketh and DTS was one of the toughest encounter so far. Esp. the lighting damage is tough. I know, you can cheese him off the cliff, but I liked to fight regulary and ended up hitless.

In regular game, he is not easy aswell, Not really low tier, imo. F.e. Morgott or Goldfrey is easier. And sewer Mogh is similar.
