Not gonna lie, i was hoping they would dig deeper into the fakeouts. Like, have "ENEMY FELLED" pop up after the first phase, then "GREAT ENEMY FELLED" after the second phase, and finally end it with "LEGEND FELLED"
Bro I almost cried when he appeared a third time. It took me over 20 attempts to get to the second death and my happy ass just assumed it was a two-fer. Mans came back again and I had no pots no buffs and less than a third health 😂😢
@@yeahwellthatsjustlikeyouro7466There's also Genichiro, Way of Tomoe and Sword Saint Isshin. Sure, technically they're two different bosses but they're back-to-back so they may as well be one boss imo
@@Andzei9825 the second fight is stronger but more in a frenzued/cornered beast kind of strenght. The third one despite the mighty attacks shows that its a spent sunflower, with little strenght left.
The design of this fight was amazing. 1st Phase was pretty normal, the Avatar tries to protect himself from You the intruder. 2nd Phase, The Avatar is fighting even stronger, he is trying to defeat you at all cost. 3rd Phase, you see that the Avatar lost his Power losthis strength, he puts everything he has in one powerful attack, but after that you see that his strength left his body his head falls to the ground an he needs few seconds to get his head back up. He doesn't want to die he tries to fight till the end. All that is perfectly paired with such perfect an full emotional music, you can hear his fight for life in the music in every phase. I felt bad after i defeated him and i too a break in this arena for few minutes.
something interesting is once you beat it the gold in the swamps gone. i was wanting to look at it because it was cool coming into the fight but noted it was lacking, only the reflection of the tree remained in those waters. But i guess that explains how the avatar kept coming back by soaking all the tree's golden ichor up for a revive
They thought: What if we make a boss that is a sunflower that is better than 80% of our base game? And, Sunflower is a great bossfight, it blooms 3 times and the last one is almost out of energy. The music represents this very well. A great boss
Its a lot more difficult if you're not a magic user, which also goes for most of the DLC. I breezed through the DLC using frost and rot dragon attacks.
I mean he used both magic and summons. Like play how you want and all but he really trivialized the fight and missed the boss' ultimate attack. Thiss boss is a whole nother experience when you play close melee with no summons
@@tomekk.1889 bro im dual wielding 2h strength build and I feel this so much. Just spent almost 1.5 hours to beat this guy solo and man, this lil sunflower fucks.. I feel bad though tbh, after like 30 minutes on messmer i summoned the dark night summon inside to see how it would go and beat if 1st try, kinda wish I didnt use the summon. Will say though this 3 phase fight felt like a little redemption, im on ng+1 too so everything just attacks so damn fast.
Yeah it’s called using magic lol. Try this with a shield and sword and it’s way more infuriating. But I don’t judge how people play the game, if it’s in the game to be used then it’s all fair.
Tips for melee/strength builds, because you will get damaged a lot - boss is weak to fire so get a fire weapon, I used firespark perfume bottle, you can google on where to get it - I put bloodhound step so that I can get a huge window for evading attacks, remember to at least get your weapon to +24 - get familiar with the attack patterns, gonna save you some healing pots, especially if you use bloodhound step like me - The head is the weakspot, attacking the head rips out a huge chunks of it's health - If you want to summon a mimic tear, summon it only after the first phase, the mimic should survive to the end - there are a few attacks in each phase where the head will be staying still, a jump + normal attack or jump + charged attack the head, at the very least you get one good hit on the head good luck, I honestly don't like this boss, more annoying than hard.
Just a note on that: perfume bottles can't do visceral attacks (or whatever the term is) on it when it falls prone for a critical. This is especially important here because hitting it with a visceral at the end of a phase will make the next phase have less health. But sometimes, if you have good carrying capacity, that's what two weapons are for.
This fight was annoying but I managed. This thing is extremely wesk to fire and frenzied burst was my savior when it was far away, high damage plus high muzzle velocity to snipe the face from a distance. I also exploited it's common double spin attack, after the second spin i would be under it and launch the new Flame Skewer ash of war into it's face for a ton of damage as well. Strongly recommend fire if your build can accommodate it.

@@daethmer7834 Same here, I've been steadily clearing bosses in less than an hour. Most attacks are intuitive, they've implemented a lot of jumping into the fights, and every boss I've fought has clear finishers and punish windows
*Kills scadutree avatar once* let’s go! It’s dead! Scadatar: *Revives* Oh, well it can’t be that bad… *kills it again* Okay fromsoft that’s a pretty cool- Scadatar: *revives again* OH FOR FUCKS SAKE! *Uses mimic tear and ever cheap shot known to man.*
Am I crazy or did they nerf the mimic tear AI? Homie used to be cold blooded but now he literally just walks around staring at nothing while I’m getting creamed.
Literally! I was taking a little space from the boss to heal up and I see the mimic running towards me instead of attacking. I was like: bitch! Dont bring him here, I havent even healed yet! and just got slammed to the ground. I have seen the mimic do that a few times.
This is the only boss I felt like was easier to do solo than with mimic tear, he kept distracting it in ways that threw everything off, especially I can't really hit it when it's distracted given the body tanks way more damage than the head, I died like 20 times trying to do it co-op / mimic tear, then did it solo after 3 tries, it felt way more manageable once I realized the trick is to bait its melee attacks then just use your strongest attack on its head (I'm a guts cosplay melee build, magic builds may find this much easier idk)
Undoubtedly the most frustrating boss in the game. This giant dead sunflower was even more persistent than Malenia, the vitality was astonishing, so I absolutely hated it. However, now that I've defeated him and watched the video, I also think his boss fight design is rather hilarious lol. For better or worse, he's definitely one of the most impressive DLC bosses.
If I had a nickel for every boss in a Souls game that had three separate health bars, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot and it's weird that it's only happened twice.
Was excited after beating the first guy, i had no idea venturing too deep into the church led me into this place. Then the second guy appeared and bull'd me to death, very funny
Just use fire. You can damn near one shot each phase (actually oneshotting the final one) with the godslayer spells if you use the scorpion talisman, Godfrey talisman, fire tear, use the erdtree seal with 80 faith, and offhand the godslayer seal. Haven't tested melee, but I assume you'd get similar stupid damage just by using fire damage
I didn't start a new character, so I'm running this fight on NG+3. Everything it does 1-2 shots me. I still haven't figured out how to dodge the AOE radial thorn attack.
@@thepaperninja3123 its miquellas great rune which if you get hugged by miquella in the final fight you can negate the effectt of it so if you get hugged a second time its not an instant KO
It's a bit of a journey to get there. I got to the boss from the Shadow Keep, Church District. As long as you thoroughly explore the area it shouldn't be too hard to reach its boss arena.
And of course it's got to be a stinky smelly disgusting swamp disgusting water in a swamp battle what is with people in swamp battles in the lake great enemy filleted
Not gonna lie, i was hoping they would dig deeper into the fakeouts. Like, have "ENEMY FELLED" pop up after the first phase, then "GREAT ENEMY FELLED" after the second phase, and finally end it with "LEGEND FELLED"
