The Tree Sentinel is the first enemy you come to when you leave Limgrave and is one of the strongest in the early game so leave him be until you’re strong enough to stand a chance.
You will more than likely see the Tree Sentinel at the start of Elden Ring and think, here we go, I can take him. You will quickly find yourself back at the last Site of Grace.
He is designed to be taken down after Margit, The Fell Omen as he is just that tough.
I recommend getting the Treespear from a crashed carriage in the South Eastern section of Liurnia (image below) as this weapon will give you a hefty amount of range whilst on Torrent which will be helpful to get you out of harms way sooner rather then being right up close with a short range weapon.
Attack wise the Tree Sentinel is designed to ruin your day with lunging attacks, shield bashes, halberd swipes, slams and a jumping attack that hits you even after he’s landed with a lot of damage over time AOE.
If you aren’t a fan of melee / horseback combat then get some high hitting spells or even the Sword of Night and Flame from the Caria Manor in Liurnia as this weapon can send a flame arc forward as well as a powerful magic attack that can decimate enemies.
Ensure that you don’t go blow for blow with the Tree Sentinel as you will quickly be back at the last Site of Grace you rested at, instead get a couple of hits when he’s stopped attacking then run off, dodge his incoming then get one or two more hits.
This will be a battle of patience more than anything else, greedy players won’t have a good time whereas controlled concise players will have an easier time of it.
Bring him down to receive a very powerful Golden Halberd as well as the bragging rights that you have felled a boss that has killed so many players.
That’s where to find and how to take down the Tree Sentinel.
