Erdtree Avatar is a Boss in Elden Ring. This large, headless creature looks like a tree stump wielding a large staff, and is usually found guarding Minor Erdtrees. Most avatars drop materials for improving the Flask of Wondrous Physick. This is an optional boss as players are not required to defeat it to advance in Elden Ring.

Where to Find Elden Ring Erdtree Avatar

Erdtree Avatar Combat information

Negations (or Absorptions)

The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Erdtree Avatar Fight Strategy

The Best Tips for Erdtree Avatar:

  • Try to end up behind it whenever you can, as it will always turn to face you before it attacks
  • It's extremely weak to Fire damage, so Fire incantations, arrows, or Grease
  • Volcano Pot and Redmane Fire Pot also do the job, if you dont use spells
  • Fist type weapon users should attack by either jumping attacks or on the back/side. Attacking the front may cause the issue of "missing hits".

 

Melee Strategy

Avoid Ashes: Since most summons can't dodge, they'll die quickly to the Erdtree Avatar's heavy attacks. They'll also make it harder for you to predict where its attacks will go and thus harder to dodge them. It has such a small stable of moves, it's better to focus on dodging them one-on-one than trying to distract it with a summon.

Pony Ride: Because the Avatar's attacks and movement are both relatively slow, it's particularly vulnerable to mounted combat. Make sure you've got enough Rowa Raisins to keep Torrent happy and you've got enough armor to survive a single staff swipe, and start circling it clockwise. Slash its back until it starts winding up for an attack. If it does an overhead swing, you can keep circling and attacking it as long as you don't end up beneath the staff when it falls. Otherwise, ride away when the attack starts and come back once it's done. You can jump over the shockwave from Erdtree Slam if you're struggling to escape its radius in time.

Sticking Close: If you're fighting the avatar on foot, it's better to stick in close and learn the timings of its relatively few attacks so you can dodge through them and keep hitting in between. Its windups are slow and telegraphed, so this shouldn't be too hard. Try to get behind it when you can to make it waste time turning to face you, and if you can't stick to its right side where you can roll behind when it tries to stomp. The only time you should leave close quarters is when it does Golden Land.

Magic and Ranged Strategy

Tank of Ash: Choose a summon that's good at surviving, because Erdtree Avatar hits hard. The Lone Wolf AshesMad Pumpkin Head Ashes, or Spirit Jellyfish Ashes are all good choices, since the Wolves summon three, and the Mad Pumpkin and Jellyfish are both very tanky and can keep the boss distracted for quite a while.

Circle and Strike: Keep your distance, using Torrent if possible, and keep moving around it so you don't get backed into a corner. Almost all of its attacks are close quarters, but you'll need to be wary of its hopping downward swing and its Golden Land attack. Don't get greedy: make sure you're always keeping your distance while you patiently whittle down its health.

 

Erdtree Avatar Attacks & Counters

Attack Description Counter
Swing Swings its staff in various directions These swings are all very slow and have poor tracking, so you'll usually have plenty of time to roll or just run out of the way
Stomp Raises its right leg and stomps down Roll behind it and get in a few hits while it turns to face you
Side Sweep Sweeps its staff counterclockwise along its left flank Roll clockwise into the sweep. You back be able to get in a hit before it follows up with a clockwise swing if your weapon is quick enough
Erdtree Slam Jumps in the air and slams the ground with its whole body, dealing Holy damage in a small area around it You can roll back to avoid this, but if you roll towards its back just as it starts falling you can avoid the damage, get in a few hits, and position yourself well for future attacks. You can also jump over the shockwave and land a jumping attack at the same time, but be careful to start from far enough away that you don't connect with its body as it falls
Golden Land Holds staff in the air and then slams it vertically into the ground, creating a small burst of Holy damage. A large orb of light then grows above its head and shoots Holy projectiles at you. Only used when it's below 60% health Get some distance so its melee attacks won't hit you, and then run in circles around it until the projectiles stop firing

Erdtree Avatar Lore, Notes & Other Trivia

  • The attacks and behaviors are very similar to the Asylum and Stray Demon bosses in Dark Souls, including the body slam and staff attacks.

      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

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

          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

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

              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

                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?

                  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.

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

                        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

                          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.

                            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.

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

                                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.

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

                                    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.

                                      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.

                                        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.

                                          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.

                                            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

                                              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.

                                                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.

                                                  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.

                                                    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).

                                                      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.

                                                        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.

                                                          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.

                                                            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?

I hadn't really been to Volcano manor at that point so I didn't have fire clutch ring, or a 4th "ring" pouch.

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.

I found that if you roll to the left or right to get behind them, you will usually not get hit by any scarlet rot as it appears to just spread it outwards in a cone. You can do this to get a few hits in or throw a fire pot to punish.

They should spawn them with 2 Haligtree knights which also has insane amount of health, can heal themselves to 100% also with absurd amount of damage and reach. Now that will be fun

Small mistakes are punished with tons of damage or death. You can easily get ****ed by getting stuck to terrain or falling of, if you arent aware of your surroundings, as you needs tons of space against their huge aoe attacks. Cheesing them with range or going in for one mounted attack and then get out of range is much easier.
