Erdtree Avatar | Elden Ring Wiki

Never get tired of approaching these things, having the epic music start up while they use thier fat, subby legs to waddle towards you. Quite comical.

Submit

The one in the capital loves long walks in the city and sitting at the gateway to the Avenue Balcony site of grace getting pelted to death with fire

Submit

This is my nemesis. I can't read their delayed attacks. And the Golden Land sucks in range and extra sucks in melee because how tf you avoid all the beam plus whatever delayed attack is coming. Putrid Avatar is actually better because its rot slam makes it not spam Golden Land as often.

Submit

I unironically love these guys, they just feel fun to fight, due to it being an asylum demon, they don't have much in the whole moveset department, and their health ain't much, but because they're easy to learn it encourages actually fighting them. In my first playthrough I fought the one in dragon barrow at level 37 because even the swamp-ass attack they have is just a free charged heavy if you're careful enough.

Submit

Leyndell Avatar does allow ashes!!

Submit

I'd expect them to be more resistant to holy, as they are, like, holy avatars... (and why not make holy damage more painful to use, am I right?)

Submit

Black Flame with the Clawmark seal completely melts these asylum demon reskins.

Submit

love seeing these guys 100 times, at least the fight is free runes

Submit

the avatar at southwest liurnia didn't spawn for me as of current patch

Submit

It has been 13 years already...

Submit

I just ride my horse and run around it, getting closer a little to trigger its 3 attack combo, then I go and hit it 2 or 3 times in the butt and repeat. When it casts its stupid homing orbs attack, I just run around it.

Submit

What about the one in Caelid? Its not in the list!

Submit

love this fatty dudes tbh they are so charismatic somehow

Submit

was it a glitch or do two of this guy spawn in mountaintops of the giants? i went to fight him then ran away far enough for him to teleport back. when i came back another spawned in. when i killed the first one the second avatar died at the same time. They could both attack like normal, but a second health bar didn’t pop up or anything.

Submit

Just an fyi, you can cheese some of the regular tree avatars. Sneak up behind and assassinate with poison mist, it doesn't aggro them. The one in lurnia by the frenzy flame village, stand on the cliff and use poison arrows or fire arrows, his attacks won't reach. The putrid ones you can't, the one in dragonbarrow you'll wish you could. But for the regular ones, use the old cheeseola ftw

Submit

so how do I dodge the projectiles on that narrow ahh platform in elphael

Submit

**** THIS GUY AND **** HIS STUPID RANGED ATTACK SPAMMING BULL****

Submit

These things being super vulnerable to frostbite is not what I expected.

Submit

Miyazaki is so proud of the asylum demon that he feels the need to put it in every single game

Submit

I fight these just to listen to their banger OST

Submit

This boss gives you a pretty meaty upskirt on the stomp attack.

Submit

More recycled than dragonrider lmao. Just a fun fact

Submit

better than dark souls 3 cursed great wood

Submit

Eco-F(r)iendly Asylum Demon

Submit

easiest boss ever just get right up next to it and it will only do 1 move at a time, never combo. for slam attack dodge to the side slightly behind it esp for putrid version to avoid rot spray. i always rush to the putrid avatar in dragonbarrow first for easy runes

Submit

My got asylum demon, why don’t you just die and stay dead, I’m tried of fighting you but with a slightly different move set

Submit

After 3 asylum demon reskins and a fourth in ds3 the last thing I wanted was to fight this guy another 5 times

Submit

shoot, run away, get behind him, shoot, run away, repeat.

Submit

is there any way to stop it from spamming the ranged attack? it's annoying asf

Submit

Fun fact. Every avatar can drop their respective staffs.

And yes the ones with the garanted drop can give you 2 as its a scrpit for if it dies. Its about as rare as the magma knife though so dont go expecting a rot avatar at the start of your game

Submit

You can summon spirit ashes for the one on Leyndell capital highway

Submit

Don't mind them, rather these replaced all ulcerating tree spirits

Submit

I love how every single one of these has like 19453534 trees and pots in its arena so you can't see ****

Submit

Asylum demon with Ebrietas' lasers

Submit

The last treebender

Submit

Burn it with fire.

Submit

Rot tree in calied is not marked ???

Submit

honestly a very satisfying fight

Submit

My favorite repeating boss in Elden Ring. No bloodborne tier speed, or 12 hit combos, or unfair tracking on the projectile attack.

Submit

"ThE ERdTrEE LitERalLY EaTS SouLs!"
Where does it say this

Submit

why doesn't it mention the one in consecrated snowfield

Submit

You cant hit the torso with daggers. Hitbox doesnt work for it

Submit

Would advise against fighting those on horseback, unlike what the fight strategy says here. Their slam attack is likely to OS Torrent and knock you down. Everytime that happened to me, I could not get back in time to avoid getting killed by a follow-up attack

Submit

I just tried fighting the one in Deeproot Depths on my faith build in NG+2, and Frenzied Burst was doing 0 damage to it. Switched to Blasphemous Blade and 2 shot it as expected. Is that a bug?

Submit

I aim to fight the one in mountaintop by myself this time after being carried by spirit ashed before. I'm feeling confident until suddenly they become two. Imma play fair, i immediately hop on torrent and call Lhutel for 2v2.

Submit

It seems Godrick grafted on these guys’ feet

Submit

Even at NG+7, Blasphemous Blade just absolutely mulches these things. Even the ones at the Haligtree can’t do anything about it.

Submit

The Greenburst Crystal Tear can be found in the following location:

Dropped by the Erdtree Avatar found at the Minor Erdtree in Caelid, east of Smoldering Church. [Map Link]
This is not listed in this page

Submit

The theme reminds me of Slay the Spire music

Submit

Leyndell Royal Capital one is false, you can summon spirit ashes for it just fine. In fact the icon pops up a ways before you encounter it

Submit

Anyone else had the mountaintops one duplicate? I think it might have been a glitch with it returning to the tree after getting too far away but I'm not sure. I killed it and it gave regular runes and drops, and they both had the same health bar and could attack/be attacked. I don't know if it's scripted or not.

Submit

If youre under 25000 and are a tarnished, this hammer-to-the-face is a must have!

Submit

asylum treemon

Submit

Troll's Hammer does wonders against these guys. Huge AR, split between strike damage and fire damage, and it is buffable on top of that. It will melt those tree stumps.

Submit

Another Erdtree Avatar in Caelid Wilds near Dragonbarrow Fork. A Greenburst Crystal Tear and Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear are the rewards for defeating it.

Submit

This man can vigorcheck death-rite birds

Submit

Anything that deals fire damage (yes that includes rivers ganker bois) even a little is a dramatic improvement in the damage department. As for fighting him, just circle and time your rolls to his swings and jumps. If he does that blast attack just strafe away or hide behind something. The rot variant is even easier, just circle behind him constantly as he spams the rot splat attack. It only goes out in front of him so if you stay close ur fine.

Submit

People complain about these dudes being "Stray/Asylum Demon Reskins" but i think their fighting style and moveset is a cute nostalgic callback.

Submit

Is no one gonna talk about how hard the theme for these big tree bois goes? These dudes have the best music of all of the Minor Bosses in my opinion.

Submit

Am i the only one who kinda likes these dudes? They are fairly fun to fight and their reappearances make sense, considering how they are guardian spirits created by the Erdtree to protect it and the minor ones, they are hardly incredible bosses, but i would take them any day of the week over those dumb Ulcerated Tree Spirits.

Submit

The flaming strike ash of war works incredibly well agaisnt this guy. I beat him first try by hopping on torrent when he cloned, seperating them, then spamming it until he died. Would definetely reccomend you try this.

Submit

Alternative Strat for the one on the mountaintop of the giants:
Use pest threads. Target one of them, and but the other one between you two. The threads will penetrate the first one to hit the one you are targeting. Because they share the same health bar, this effectively means you deal double damage with the spell. This is a pretty safe and easy strategy so long as you only do one cast at a time between dodging the strikes. The avatar in the back (the one you are targeting) will actually be pretty far away from you because the one in the middle is big and will put you out of range of most of his attacks, but pest threads can still reach.

Submit

The copy paste of this boss feels extra bad, they didn't even create a new monster to copy paste, they took a 10 year old model and literally copy pasted that everywhere. I would have been OK with maybe one as a reference but God are there way too many of these

Submit

I've had more than enough of these f**kers now. It wasn't a fun boss to fight twice in liurnia or caelid early on and it isn't fun in mountaintop of the giants now either.

Submit

Night and Flame Sword can four-tap this guy with the flame weapon art

Submit

Literally a worse designed version of the asylum demon. Almost every small-mid sized weapon, that isn't a straight-sword, can miss them at point blank with standard R1 attacks. I don't understand how the devs could make such a mistake when they got it right years ago on DS1.

Submit

For the one in Caelid, near Rotview Balcony, I found that if you approach the tree from the cliff above you can attack the Avatar with Loretta's Bow. The only way it'll be able to hit you is by casting Golden Land, and this is easily avoided by taking a few steps back on top of the cliff.

Submit

erdtree avatar finna make me act up

Submit

asylum demon 3.0

Submit

Only reason i still fight them after beating them for the 9349459th time is for the banger music

Submit

The 1 in the Weeping Peninsula was pretty easy. The 1 to the Northeast of the Lake in Liurnia can absolutely do one. I don't know why I'm struggling against him, but I'm furious about it. I try to take out his stupid ancestral followers doing that stomping first, but sometimes they stunlock me. I did switch to my Lone Wolves and they are helping better. I hate the ground slam a la Asylum Demon AoE, but I also hate that they do similar attacks to what Margit did and I struggled against him as well (Godrick, by contrast, was easy for me).

Submit

Be advised that in mountaintop of the giants there are actually TWO of them, the second s.o.b. ganked me while I was fighting the first. Play unfair with us huh? Rotten breath one then ride Torrent across the bridge, repeat. They must share a health bar, took three full rot breaths(121 fp) on one to take them out.

Submit

The specific type of avatar will matter regarding poison resistance. The putrid avatar does a huge scarlet rot AoE, and seems to be immune to scarlet rot and poison. The normal non-poisonous ones seem to take poison and scarlet rot just fine. What does work on all of them is black flame, for the putrid ones if you use the black flame incantation it works pretty well. How I got mine.

Submit

someone mentions fire pots, but for the avatars in leyndell, mountaintops of the giants and deeproot depths if you have the cookbook that allows you to craft them, volcano pots will do even more damage, they are a single ingredient recipe and the volcanic stones are everywhere once you pass seethwater grace in mt gelmir, you'll find a couple of hundred in no time. I don't know how they compare to the giant's flame ritual pot, but the cookbook for volcano pots will be available earlier and the stone needed to craft them is everywhere in mt gelmir. I've been using them on the omen in shunning grounds and the damage is impressive and it ticks away for a little while as well.

Submit

I've noticed something on this page that I've seen on wikis for other bosses and enemies as well. the resistance info says the avatar is strong against poison and scarlet rot, but its resistance numbers for both are 154, I wouldn't call that strong against either status effect. I've recently been in leyndell catacombs, there are four or five omen in there, with more in the shunning grounds near the underground roadside grace. their page gives their resistance to poison and scarlet rot as being 227-250, compared to the info for other enemies this would make you think the omen have good resistance to poison and scarlet rot, except they don't I've used poison arrows to kill them in leyndell catacombs and the shunning grounds, the status is easily inflicted on them with maybe half a dozen poison arrows. unless resistance means the poison status doesn't last as long as it would on enemies with little to no resistance?

Submit

Mountaintops avatar was probably the hardest boss to kill on my twink run.

Submit

This page only mentions the regular versions without scarlet rot. Putrid Avatar is what many of you are looking for.

Submit

I swear does putrid avatar know how to do anything except golden land and slam

Submit

"Remember how everyone hated us re-using Asylum Demon with AOEs in ds1?"
"Yeah?..."
"Just hear me out on this, it's gonna be hilarious"

Submit

A fairly easy strategy for some of these while using ranged attacks is to use a hit-and-run tactic while running around the tree.

The tree blocks his light orbs and he will often de-aggro, allowing you to circle around and cheap-shot him in the back. Then just run back around the tree again and repeat.

Submit

it's Missing One Erdtree Avatar. He locatade on Minor Erdtree In caelid (DragonBarrow)

Submit

Blasphemous Blade +10 on a Holy build with a Mimic Tear. A handful of skill hits will take them right out.

Submit

Fire damage seems to wreck them so much it feels like a cheese, you can literally just throw fire pots at them and at least mostly kill them.

Submit

Stray demon after his drug addiction

Submit

Ngl, I actually really like the OST of the Boss variant of these. That rot puddle butt slam damage, however..

Submit

The Putrid ones in Caelid, I cheesed both at range where they couldn't rot me or get to me and the holy beams hit below what I was standing on, longbow+16 and homemade fire arrows, both arrow rings Hawk, and Bow only always active Leo ring, and Lloyd's Sword Ring, in west Caelid I jumped down onto branches above him, I think there was also Rune arc somewhere in those branches he was easy 20-30 shots, in dragonbarrow I stood on the edge of the cliff North of Fort Faroth and shot down, it was a little further, and it had a ton more health, think it took a mix of about 150 fire arrows. I hadn't really been to Volcano manor at that point so I didn't have fire clutch ring, or a 4th "ring" pouch.

Submit

are they immune to sleep?

Submit

There’s another putrid avatar at the minor Erdtree in dragonbarrow

Submit

If you’re looking for the ones that found in Caelid or Elphael, look up “Putrid Avatar”

Submit

There’s also one of these things by the Minor Erdtree in West Caelid. There’s considerably less space to fight it, and it has an attack that inflicts scarlet rot.

Submit

The one in Ephael, Brace of the Hagiltree is not listed

Submit

Can I just say that that one double fight on the mountaintops of the giants is complete dogshit, right up there with the godskin gank squad except no sleep cheese

Submit

If you grab Flame of the Fell God from Adan in the Malefactor's Evergaol, you can take these things out pretty quickly from a safe distance. I killed one in three hits with this spell. It does massive damage, especially if you have high faith.

Submit

There is one in the consecrated snowfield that isn't mentioned on this page.

Submit

Only one I had an issue with so far was the one in Leyndell, as it dropped on my head out of nowhere, and was in a Binding of Isaac level, troll arena. I had to book it out of there and rest at the grace. I need to come at this one with a different strategy to usual... Essentially they're just Asylum Demon, spec'd into a Faith/Str build. (other than the one in Caelid that is trying out some DoT spells)

Submit

erdtree avatar [Mountaintops of the Giants (East)] give 172.000 runes (whith golden scarab), thorny cracked tear & ruptured crystal tear

Submit

they put one on the bridge cuz they know its impossible to avoid the stars without running at sides lol, what a cheap ass game

Submit

I burned the Erdtree and then went to the Minor Erdtree in Consecrated Snowfields and the avatar is a no-show; I guess burning the tree stops the avatars from spawning.

Submit

basically stray demon mixed with cursed rotted greatwood, but it sucks mega bad

Submit

Took me embarasingly look to realize that these guys are literally just reskinned Asylum Demons from DS1.
