When you exit the starting area in Elden Ring Runes , you'll likely meet the game's 

initial optional boss known as the Tree Sentinel. This is a heavily armed 

warrior atop a massive horse, who can chase you around and knock away your 

entire team in one drop. While the boss can be challenging, especially at 

first but there are a variety of strategies that can make it a breeze, 

including a cheese strategy. This is how you can overcome The Tree Sentinel 

boss in Elden Ring.

How do you prepare to be ready Tree Sentinel fight

The Tree Sentinel boss fight is located just to the southeast of the Church of 

Elleh Site of Grace. This is one of the very first Site of Grace you'll likely 

encounter after leaving the first dungeon. If you happen to stumble upon this 

Tree Sentinel right at the start, you'll likely get your teeth immediately 

sparked.

This is why it's suggested to come back to this battle after you've gotten 

stronger and have many flasks in your arsenal, and superior weapons. A few 

players may opt to use a horse in this fight, as well although it's certainly 

not necessary. Apart from that, having spirits to summon during the battle can 

aid a lot and can be a distraction when you're taking some strikes.

How can you stop the Tree Sentinel

There are various ways to take down The Tree Sentinel, but one of the most 

popular is to follow him, put some strikes, move away, and repeat the process. 

Based on your stats and build this strategy could take some time, which can be 

difficult if don't have patience. You can also utilize a shield to deflect an 

attack, and then follow it up with striking back. It can be a challenge since 

blocking is a huge drain on stamina, so your performance may vary.

Another option is to strike your Tree Sentinel with your back several times 

even if he's not aware, and then escape so that he stops in pursuit of you. 

Then , sneak back and sneak in some more strikes and repeat the procedure. If 

you're exceptionally skilled, you can pull off a parry of your opponent's Tree 

Sentinel, which is efficient, but difficult to master. You'll probably come 

across any combination of these strategies that be successful for you. But, 

there's a different method which makes this struggle much simpler.

How do beat your Tree Sentinel with a cheat

The easiest (and most cheesy) method of tackling this boss is to stay on top 

of a structure so that he isn't able to get to you while you hit your opponent 

with projectiles. Magic projectiles are best but bows as well as other 

throwables will get the job accomplished.

Right next to the Tree Sentinel's start point is a large dilapidated structure 

that you can climb on top of. It's necessary to use your horse to jump up on 

the corner, but once you're up there, you're secure. From here, fire away with 

whatever projectiles you have to continue to cause harm. Keep in mind, it is 

possible to be struck from the enemy, therefore make sure that you shield 

yourself whenever you are close to ensure that you don't get hit. Make sure to 

back off after your attack is successful, so that you aren't swept by his 

attacks.

In addition, watch out at the Tree Sentinel's magical counter, where he will 

take in any incantations that are thrown his way and then return them. This is 

signaled by an orange, glowing shield that appears before you make your 

strike. Another reason is that this boss may actually climb up on the 

structure sometimes however if you stay clear of the corner from which you 

attempted to climb to the top, he'll have a much harder time getting to you. 

If he does manage to Cheap Elden Ring Items  climb the structure, just run away, and he'll follow you 

off. Then hop back up and continue the process.
