Putrid Tree Spirit

[LoveJesusHateTheGovernment]

I honestly don't know how anyone is supposed to beat this guy. He kills me in two hits.

Whats your vigor?

[Sc0rpiTr0n]

You are probably underleveled for that area.
Fire and Frost effs them.

I tried to kill him very early, in one hit he killed me, but I went for a walk, leveled up and then came back. Depending on your vitality he doesn't kill you in one hit, it has to be at least 2. Remember the way he moves too, it'll be easy. And he drops a good tear and lots of runes.

My vigor is 40. Ya, I think he just takes a lot of memorization and timing. I just came back to this game after about a three month break. I think I need another break already. At least I killed Starscourge Radahn.

Shoot. I looked up a strategy on Youtube and apparently there's several Putrid Tree Spirits. I'm trying to kill the one in the war-torn catacombs right after Starscourge Radahn.

Dodge the second hit.

This is high level area.

I would recommend going there at level 80 or higher with 50 or more Vigor.

you can try using bleed, frost, or fire.

Yeah, there are three
- Grand Cloister -> this was most hard for me, i cleaned the area 1st from enemies, then lured out it from rot pool to the surface, and summoned mimic.

- Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree - this also was the hardest for me, eventually I decided to use distant gun, provided myself enaf mana and killed him in 3 mins standing on the cliff (not going down into his rot pool).

- War catacombs was less hard,. no rot, and you can summon mimik.

Generally - my Melee build is based on katanas and bleeding... so, I found the winning tactic is to strike and roll, in light armor, trying to hold on to his tail or under his belly. something like that. I don't know if this will help you. it's really better to come to this enemy later.
if you want, you can call me, we'll kill him together.

p.s.
after burning the Erd tree - a location appears where three of these beasts walk at the same time :)
