In Elden Ring, the Ulcerated Tree Spirit is an overworld boss. It too protects an Erdtree, much like the Erdtree Avatars/Putrid Avatars and Wormface. Its assault tactics are distinct, however. Here's our way to defeating the Ulcerated Tree Spirit with Elden Ring.

How to defeat the Ulcerated Tree Spirit guide (
)There are many sites in Elden Ring, where you may find the Ulcerated Tree Spirit. These include Fringefolk Hero’s Grave and the liftside chamber hidden passage in Stormveil Castle. However, you must also battle a beast close to Mount Gelmir's Minor Erdtree. It's due north along a winding cliffside walk near Volcano Manor. There's a stele with the map of Mount Gelmir close by, along with the Road of Iniquity fast travel point.
The monster will aggro as you approach the Minor Erdtree, so avoid fighting it right away. Run past it to the end of the collapsed bridge instead. Remove the Marionette Soldiers as soon as possible. We can now start having fun.
In Elden Ring, the Ulcerated Tree Spirit cheese must be burned to death by using its movement patterns and aggro range. Yes, it will follow you all the way to the bridge and even to the halfway point of the quick travel, which is near the elite that resembles Wormface. However, this will enable you to take advantage of its patterns. You may first wait for it close to the bridge's blazing pyre. Once on the pyre, gallop swiftly on Torrent to arrive to a neighboring pyre.
The boss's ability, which is a poisonous breath that takes many seconds to perform, will only activate while it is standing in the flames. It will thus be able to withstand a significant amount of damage. The same thing will occur if you can get it to cast on the other pyre. As such, you will mostly merely go back and forth, allowing the monster to get killed by the surroundings.
Just a few things need to be avoided:
- The breath attack deals high damage and is likely to kill you in a single hit if your HP isn’t boosted.
- When it’s below 50% HP, this breath attack will cause an explosion in a horizontal line. This is easily avoided if you bait it and gallop away before it casts.
- The other pyres further up the slope (going back to the fast travel point) won’t let you do this cheese. The boss will simply coil around the wooden poles and attack.
Whatever the situation, you ought should be able to dispatch the Ulcerated Tree Spirit in Elden Ring without ever having to use an attack. You may combine Leaden Hardtear and Cerulean Hidden Tear to mix your Flask of Wondrous Physick after obtaining these items.
