How To Cheese The Draconic Tree Sentinel in Crumbling Farum Azula

Ez Cheese with Poison Mist

[@mr_ordinary9035]

I've never tasted such delicious cheese as this in all my life. Thank you for your efforts.

[@gundo7861]

This comment made my day fucking hilarious

[@CamsCars11]

Cheddar hit the spot

[@thegood9]

I have never hated anything in this game more than this guy. Thank you! This is NOT a cheese. It is an appropriate use of spells and game mechanics.

[@scatterbrainart]

@@thegood9 I've never hated any enemy in any game ever more than this guy. I rage quit over 6 months ago and haven't picked it up again because of this f**ker. Watching this, I just might pick it up again.

[@thegood9]

@@scatterbrainart you should..the game is too good not to finish it, and so is the story, if you like "Souls type" games, that is (they are kinda hokey and stupid if you don't really "get" it, I suppose). I rage quit LOTS of times---mostly on dragons, lol---but, I managed to finish with all the achievements, and I'm very glad I did. I don't have that much patience, and I don't have that much time, but this game really deserved my time and effort...they did a fantastic job. I love DS III as well, and hope FROM can keep it up!

[@TigerTzu]

I can't even call this a cheese. You are at such an absurd disadvantage in this fight I refuse to believe this wasn't the intended way to beat him.

Legacy bosses let you use summons. Most elden ring players are naked without their mimic +10

[@Darkrox]

Had to cheese him too. After destroying the godskin duo with ease I wasn't expecting a miniboss like that...

[@CampingInParadise]

It's cause your so used to using a spirit summon +10 on every boss that you feel naked without it

[@Blurzss]

@@CampingInParadise true not gonna lie but how was the miniboss harder than malekith himself

[@CampingInParadise]

@@Blurzss cause your +10 spirit summon takes the bosses attention away so you can heal as many times as you want

i dont even feel guilty cheesing a boss that has cheesed me so many times beforehand

[@Ultimateum23]

Tips for anyone struggling and don't want to cheese this: You're going to need patience and to know how to time your dodges. Whenever he runs at you and attacks, simply dodge away to the side and then back up, don't bother attacking, you'll likely get hit with a follow up. Stay at medium range and wait for his fireball move. Dodge through it and dodge through his follow up fireballs till you're in his face. Whack him once and immediatelyy roll back. Rinse and repeat for the first phase. The lightning phase is similar. Dodge all his attacks especially the AOE's. He has a lightning move that he charges up then shoots into the air - work out your dodge timing (it's just as he lifts his arm up suddenly) and do the same as the fireballs. Run at him, roll to dodge, get in his face, 1 attack, roll back. Continue to do the same with the fireballs and chip away at his health PATIENTLY. I also found using Hoarfrost stomp when he uses some of his slower attacks whittles his health away nicely too - just be careful when you use it, seek the opportunity. Took me about 6-7 mins to take him down, but worth it.

[@x_the_spaniard2288]

I have a lightning build and lightning spear ( charged or not ) many times goes through with no damage done. Poor ai, and since I cannot one-shot him with ADLS, like I could with that Placidusax dragon, this cheese seems fair. This guy is terrible for a castter and you cannot use a summon.

[@brandonman1315]

@@x_the_spaniard2288Like op said, when you figure out his dodges he’s easy, even for a caster.

[@mathewkahotea3809]

​@brandonman1315 as someinr who is on ng+25 or 26 and has played caster builds more times then melee builds i can assure u this isnt an easy fight once u master dodging lmao

[@cosmicbilly]

​@mathewkahotea3809 yes it is. You people are mad because your bad and then call it bad game design. I used to always cheese this guy, but now after practicing, he's nowhere near as hard as you people make him out to be. There's people who easy kill him at level 1 with no armor on. So yes, once you get good at dodging this fight becomes much easier.

[@mathewkahotea3809]

@cosmicbilly where in my comment did i come off as mad??? Every single mob and boss is easy after u get the patterns down thats how it is in every soul game, im saying the boss itself is hard which it is and if u try say "bu bu but just learn the patterns of its attacks" well yeah no shi lmao doesnt make it a easy boss just because its easy for u💀

[@RobinBloodPK]

i did godskin duo on my 3rd try with no sleep potions,effects. i have died to this tree sentinel over 20 times.

[@Curt_Randall]

oh yes, I have had this same cheese before with an earlier draconic tree sentinel. glad that the stop game reload trick works with it. a nice tiny consolation for the torturous fight that still awaits behind that fog gate.

[@mikeoxmal1028]

My favorite thing about the draconic tree sentinels is that they are litterally harder than the godskin duo 😄

[@wirechair]

OMGGGGGG!!!! Dudeeeee!! Thank you for this! This is the best video on the internet!!!! That horse guy was such a fool! Has too much health, can attack too quickly, does too much damage, you can even run away from his attacks he has lightning that strikes you wherever you are even running down the stairs back to the grace, punishes you for healing, has a wide area of attack, always facing you so you can’t sneak up after he de-aggros. Man I tried bloodhound step, dragon’s breath rot, bleed and while they got me close he just has too much health and you got to be perfect dodging too often for too long that eventually you will slip up and die. This video was perfect!!! Took me 20 minute but I laughed and rejoiced every second of the way!! Hahaah!! Take that stupid horse man who only wants to play cheap but there is always a cheaper fighter out there!!! He met his match with you bro!!!! 100/100!!

[@jurassicmark_4688]

Thank you. This still works June 2022. This is the only thing I've cheesed in this game that I can recall. Friggin annoying as he aggros your summon from outside the fog wall.

[@RawGameplayStreams]

I had to cheese this and valiant gargoyles unfortunately

[@RawGameplayStreams]

Trying to cheese this anyways. But my faith is too low so I can’t

[@rubeng370]

I tried luring him many times to the stairs and use Mogh's trident but the bitch would slam through the walls and not stop using the red lighting 😡 This was so much better

[@tartimooal7898]

the fact that the minibosses and even some normal enemies in this game are harder than some of the main bosses is just absurd. I've beat most bosses with just a few attempts yet it's minibosses like this that i seem to die everytime to.

[@jorgegamboa5821]

I just fought him on my 3rd playthrough as well, and I found my own way to beat him in less than 5 seconds. Comet Azure plus Cerulean Hidden Tear. Walk up to him just enough to where you can lock on to him.. Then drink the flask with the tear and fire the comet azure.. He has such a slow first reaction to being attacked for the first time, that by the time he starts trying to attack you back or come at you, the comet azure kills him. Comet Azure requires 70 Intelligence tho, so you need to invest on that.
