Oh Rotten Greatwood,
Clever and cursed, your design astounds.
Your beautiful tree balls swing with grotesque grace.
As you fall, you surprise the ashen one with a new path.
May your roots find peace.
Amen.

Good gimmick boss. I like chasing the balls. Adds in ph1 not as annoying as you'd think. okak

Plus, it's a great intro frostbite - newly returning in DS3

Hidden underneath is a forgiving fight with small/short hitboxes and very punishable attacks. He gives the player great confidence but possibly a false confidence.

The best tutorial boss of any souls-like? Iudex Gundyr sure has competition, but I think he has it. DS3 is starting strong!

• surprisingly high complexity
• swift moveset
• truly unique (till this point) phase transition

1st try btw 😏
