TheElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLChides quite a few of its major “Remembrance” bosses off the beaten path, and one you might miss entirely unless you explore the Land of Shadow thoroughly is the Scadutree Avatar. Though this gigantic sunflower entity isn’t terribly difficult or complex compared to some of the expansion’s other bosses, it still has a few moves that may catch players off guard.
In this boss guide, I’ll go over everything you need to know about the fight with the Scadutree Avatar. This includes the location of the boss itself, a list of its weaknesses and some general tips that will help you prepare to face it, and a full overview of its entire moveset and how you can avoid taking damage as you bring it down.
Scadutree Avatar location
To fight the Scadutree Avatar, you’ll first need to find it inElden Ring. Luckily, once you know where it is, it’s actually pretty easy to reach.The Scadutree Avatar is located beneath the Shadow Keep Legacy Dungeon in northern Scadu Altus, and can only be reached by going down an elevator in the northeastern part of its Church District section.
You can get to the Church District by going across the bridges east of Bonny Village, then north up the path towards the Shadow Keep. From the Site of Grace you’ll get at its entrance,you’ll then need to platform across the rooftops and rafters of the flooded buildingsuntil you reacha ladder that leads to the mechanism that drains the water. Once that’s done,you can safely drop down to ground level— make sure you grab the Sunken Chapel Site of Grace from the structure to the south — andhead into the large church with the Marika statue in it, then take a right to find the room with the elevator.

Scadutree Avatar Phase 2
If you were like me and thought the fight was too easy as the boss fell, don’t worry — that was just Phase 1. The boss will emerge from the arena’s murky waters once more to begin Phase 2, though notably,a quarter of its health will be gone if you landed that critical hit at the end of Phase 1. In this phase, it upgrades one of its attacks and gains a new one.
Scadutree Avatar Phase 3
One last phase! In this final stage of the fight, the Scadutree Avatar will get one new Holy-based attack that’s very deadly and tough to avoid. However, that move also gives you an absolutelymassiveopening for damage if you roll towards the boss while dodging it.
