General tips
Melee build - how to fight?
The Erdtree Avatar is a large, headless opponent armed with a huge staff.
He appears in various locations of the world.
Erdtree Avatars are best dealt with while on horseback.
Your biggest concern during horseback combat is the large range of the boss’s staff swing.
The rest of the boss’s attacks are not that dangerous, or are easy to avoid by dashing.
As a result, after a few hits of your own, retreat back to a safe distance.

If the Avatarleaps into the air, run away from it as quickly as possible.
When that happens, simply stay mobile.
For melee players, the battle doesn’t change much.
Melee combat means a lot of dodging to avoid the swings.
It takes some practice, but after a while, you should learn the enemy attack patterns.
The different instances of this fight play out the same way.
You only need to watch out for two attackers instead of one.
Now for theCaelid Avatar.
This one has the ability to applyscarlet rot status.
If that happens, stop attacking and run away.
Aside from these two instances, the remaining battles take place the same.
