Elden Ring‘s Fringefolk Hero’s Grave, which is one of the game’s opening dungeons, is most likely where you first came across an Ulcerated Tree Spirit. Since that time, new iterations of the Ulcerated Tree Spirit have appeared in various locations throughout The Lands Between, and they are as vicious and chaotic. The fight against a relentless, never-ending wiggling worm that is out to destroy you is pretty hard-core. It is undoubtedly challenging to keep up with them, let alone beat them, in a fight due to their extreme aggression and speed. As a result, a thorough examination of these parasitic worms is necessary to eradicate them forever. Here is how to defeat the Ulcerated Tree Spirit in Elden Ring.

Defeating the Ulcerated Tree Spirit in Elden Ring

The Ulcerated Tree Spirit has a wide variety of attacks at its disposal. This boss typically attacks you by launching itself at you and flip-flopping around the arena, which may be devastating. It also uses a detonator assault that has the potential to one-shot you.

There are two approaches you might take when dealing with this boss. Being a melee fighter will be harder than being a ranged fighter because of how active, and mobile this monster is, while the latter can maintain a safe distance while inflicting damage.

This boss may be defeated more quickly and effectively by using Ashes of War. Especially those that deliver fire and frostbite damage. When it comes to weaponry, strengthening your blade to a +6 will be enough to defeat Elden Ring’s Ulcerated Tree Spirit.

You must equip a melee weapon with a +6 upgrade and call a tanky Spirit Ash to support you if things become tough. The attack strength of your sword may be increased by slathering it in either Fire or Freezing Grease. You should think about employing Ashes of War like Hoarfrost Stomp or Flaming Strike in addition to using other Greases to get a boost.

To ensure that your selected Spirit Ashes can keep up with you, remember to improve them to a +5. For that additional punch, it is advised to use a sword of the Colossal kind, such as the Moonveil Katana. Also, Opaline Bubbletear is a classic that you can never go wrong with.

When compared to melee warriors, ranged combatants have an advantage. As a sorcerer, it is still advised to help out with a Spirit Ash summon. However, sorceries will be effective against an Ulcerated Tree Spirit if they cause Physical, Fire, or Frostbite damage.

Elden Ring is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
