Shin vs Ulcerated Tree Spirit (Minor Erdtree | Mount Gelmir) - Elden Ring
If you knew what I was going for in the last video, then this fight here was also no surprise. I'm a bit off the beaten path from my current objective, but I always wanted to do battle with a corrupted tree ghost that breathed golden fire from its mouth.
That might sound like a joke, but for real I actually really like this boss. This is what happens when a Minor Erdtree has a bit too much to drink the night before and spends the entire morning in the bathroom the next day. Just as violent too.
And if you look at the Minor Erdtree it's in front of, yeah you can see where this thing might've overcooked compared to a normal Erdtree Avatar.
It seemed a bit flail-y when I first encountered it here, but it actually has a generous tell for all its attacks and A LOT of opportunities to hit it. Its super-telegraphed grab is a free hit on it. The fire it breathes 99% of the time after doing the grab is a lot of free damage on it. Anything it does is a window to punish it, and this was probably my favorite setting to fight it.
"Why do you make it sound like you fight this thing again?". Oh my sweet summer child....
