AnElden Ringplayer tried to cheese a Draconic Tree Sentinel, but things ended up going horribly wrong. While Elden Ring features several difficult boss encounters, players can easily die to the various mini-bosses and regular enemies scattered all around the world. Many of these bosses can be fought in the overworld, andTree Sentinels inElden Ringhave perhaps gained notoriety due to a number of reasons.
Many gamers have likely died to the first Tree Sentinel they encounter near the beginning ofElden Ring, with some even getting stuck for hours on this boss fight. Draconic Tree Sentinels are an alternate version of this boss, and they are usually present in late-game areas inElden Ring. Now, one gamer recently tried to utilize cheese tactics to defeat a Draconic Tree Sentinel, only for it to end up in disaster.

A Reddit user named Plaid_Kaleidoscope has shared a clip from their playthrough, featuring their attempt tobeat a Draconic Tree Sentinel inElden Ring. The video features the player standing on a surface far above the enemy, as they attempt to hit the Tree Sentinel with arrows without properly engaging with the opponent. The player manages to land a few hits while also missing a ton of shots, but the Draconic Tree Sentinel hits them with a lightning strike, knocking them off the platform to their death.
This fight takes place in a late-gameElden Ringarea called Crumbling Farum Azula, with the Draconic Tree Sentinel located right before the boss against Maliketh. Fans should note that Tree Sentinels do not respawn inElden Ring, so defeating them will allow gamers to easily explore the area. Alternatively, they can attempt to run past the Tree Sentinel to initiate the Maliketh fight, but there is always a chance of them gettingattacked from outside the boss arena inElden Ring.
Some users in the comments section make note of the number of missed shots in the video, with one stating that the lightning strike attack is the bane of allmages inElden Ring. Plaid_Kaleidoscope’s attacks were dealing a minuscule amount of damage, so this strategy would have anyway taken them a long time to complete. One gamer also wonders how the player managed to get this location in the first place, while another fan claims to have died similarly to this Draconic Tree Sentinel in two different spots.
Elden Ringis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
