Delete Ulcerated Tree Spirit

[10000 Angry Bees]

Now that the stupid responses are out of the way, ulcerated tree spirit is a stupid boss with a moronic moveset. The thing is repeatedly stuffed into tight spaces despite it's size and spasmodic moveset.
Sure, I can beat it first try. Does that mean the boss is fun? NO!
I can barely tell what the damn thing even looks like because it's too busy spazzing out all over the tiny box of an arena it was placed in.
If we were meant to hump this things stomach while it pushes us everywhere as the fight mechanic then they can keep it.

I have to agree, it really doesn't work with your character's moveset (it would need to be grappled or shot from a distance, ideally) and the camera spazzing out and not letting you see what's going on certainly doesn't help. One of the less fun enemies for sure.

It's an easy boss once you figure him out (there's one out in the open in Mt. Gelmir you can use to take a good look at his moveset, it's really basic once you see it).

The only annoying thing about it is they just love to shove him everywhere. There's like 50 of them in the base game and now it's back in the DLC. I killed the green one in Belurat on auto pilot, didn't even get hit. There's so many you just end up mastering them completely what's the point in having them anymore.

Haha! Good one sister 🤭. I want to say the same thing as well. Like there are people actually beating this boss no hit challenge etc

Yep, some big brains around here.

I fought this guy a lot at RL1, now I don't even need to look at him to know when to dodge. He is pretty easy once you learn him. There are some enemies that are hard even when you know how to fight them, Tree Spirit isn't one of those

Not realizing I in particular literally copy-pasted OP's first words is a big brain moment indeed

Delete them yourself.

You mean the two endgame scaled ones at the bottom of shadow keep. Yes amusingly I've seen a lot of people die to this non boss.

Quite frankly I've seen people die a lot to everything in the dlc and it really isn't necessary.

[squosh]

No it is seriously gitgud skill issue. After a few times beating it, it became one of the easiest bosses for me to read in the game, and now I usually no-hit it (usually getting caught by the mid-fight explosion). It's at worst obnoxious and hard to read initially.

You never know around here when people are serious or trolling, it wouldn't have been surprising if you meant it unironically. And most of the other replies sounded serious anyway.

I must be the only person that actually enjoys the tree spirits lmao, seen so many people dislike them and i did at first too, especially with the one in that small room near the start of the game.
Yeah the camera just ♥♥♥♥♥ out against it, but the attacks are insanely telegraphed. Other than the first time I've fought one, where I died many times, I've yet to actually die to one, I've gotten to the point where i can kill them without getting hit without even trying. Even if my camera ♥♥♥♥♥ out I can usually make out exactly what they're doing.

[Rack]

Yeah, its really easy to defeat but its so annoying to fight. I usually skip them if its possible.

[Duilf]

Oh yes the Ulcerated Tree Spirit thrashes around so much it is like they where sick or something. With them all dropping Golden Seeds it is almost as if there is a contextual clue there. If all the Tree Spirits created from golden seeds sent out from the Erdtree during the shattering are ill then maybe... the Erdtree was ill before the shattering. A detail which can provide key motivation for the player, and validity to several character's actions. Nope can't be that just an annoying boss fight thrashing about randomly so annoying must delete it.

Sometimes it isn't the person's gaming skills that needs to gitgud.

If you're using sorcery frost is very effective, for incantations fire. Obviously weapons with either do well to. When it's moving normally it's body won't hurt you and can push you put of the way of their attacks.

Learn it's movement pattern for when it's about to lunge and you're generally pretty good. The holy fire attacks can be annoying but talismans or livers are available.

After some of the dlc fights I find them to be a lot more manageable.
