Putrid Tree Spirit Boss Guide Putrid Tree Spirit Fight Strategy. The Best Tips for Putrid Tree Spirit: If possible, bring Scarlet Rot Talismans such as Kindred of Rot's Exultation which can increase attack power or Immunizing Horn Charm which raises Immunity Use Meteorite Spell to cause it to stagger Summon Rotten Stray Ashes Use Bloodhound's Step to help with the boss's quick movements Be ready upon entering the fog gates, as it approaches for an attack almost immediately. If considering Summons, call them after this initial action Use pillars in the arena if available but we wary because they can be destroyed. Be aware of the safe corners in between attacks to find an opportunity to drink your flask. Always consider your position because this large creature can be faced in a small arena Lighten your load to perform swift dodges and movements since this boss has quick movements Consider not using camera lock on since this boss can take up the whole screen. Use heavy weapons and spells to stagger At 50 health, does an AOE Scarlet Rot explosion. Run away and find a spot on the ground without a flame visual FX and stand still. If you attempt to keep running away, you may run into another scarlet rot explosion behind you. Melee Users Can be staggered, which is very effective as its head takes increased damage, and this makes it much more accessible while he is on the ground. Consider going for attacks directly on the head while it is stance broken, instead of a critical strike. Two main methods with melee is to constantly circle around its head when lowered or reach its tail and attack from there to avoid most of it's directional attacks. Hug its back side since most attacks will come from the head. When it starts to pull back, be ready to dodge and dives or spontaneous movement dashes from the boss. Bloodhound's Step could be considered if available to dodge its quick attacks faster and to help with countering. Use a combination of waiting for its dive attacks, dodging through and repositioning around the beast to get as many hits in while out of its line of sight until HP is depleted. Keep an eye on your Scarlet Rot. Magic and Ranged Users Can be burst down with Meteorite. As soon as you enter the fog door, target the boss and move right. It will try to attack. Immediately cast meteorite close to it and hold the button. It should stagger which allows you to drink a blue potion to replenish your FP. You might need enough FP for this to work. Another spell to consider is Rock Sling, which deals great physical damage and can also stagger it. If your FP is out and it doesn't stagger, you don't have enough Mind stat. Note: meteorite needs to be cast close to the target for it to hit. Though there is not a lot of free space in the arena where this boss is found so creating distance for longer ranged attacks will be a challenge. To aid with this, it is recommended to use Spirit Ashes during this encounter. Continue your attacks in between the windows of this boss's attack until it is defeated.
