If you can’t get close to begin with, staying in mind range to bait a lunging sweep attack will help you massively. Punish this attack after it stops, giving you generous access to hit its head. Depending on what the AI wants to do, the boss can use a few moves to swing and reposition itself. It is basically pressuring you to keep moving towards it, and you always should. If you’re too slow to catch up to it, the Scadutree Avatar can use so much nonsense to keep you from getting close.
When you get close, always be mindful of the AoE thorns it will use. This is indicated by the ground glowing yellow and bubbling. Once again, when you get the boss’s HP to zero, it will go down and be open for a critical hit. Again, don’t worry if you miss it, but definitely try to get to the head for this. Just one more round to go, what else is this simple tree going to throw at you?Guess who’s back? As ever, get away from the area the boss spawns back in because it will start swinging.
After this attack ends, it will leave its head open and vulnerable to several hits. Exploit this attack as much as you can.The Scadutree will swipe and move backwards to reposition. It is trying to set up ranged attacks.Ground AoE Thorns When you see the boss move away and start this, you need to get close. If you dodge well, you can avoid them by rolling forward or to the side. Get close enough and the boss will stop.This move is extremely rare, but the tree can grab you. If it does, it will pound you into the floor with its head several times.
Dodge to side to avoid this. If your Spirit Ash is the target, go hard on the offensive and get stuck in for tons of damage.In phase two, the Scadutree will skate across the arena. If it hits you, you will take damage. Its third and final hit will reposition it far away from you.
