Elden Ring's bosses have some of the most interesting and innovative designs in gaming. From a massive, creepy serpent with a man's face to a human skeleton shaped into a twisted cosmic dragonfly, The Lands Between has no shortage of remarkable bosses specifically made to scare the living daylights out of you or just have you experiencing the heebie-jeebies.
But, when it comes to crafting abominations of nature, Elden Ring is not to be outdone. At the base of certain Minor Erdtrees throughout the map, you will find Mother Nature's Emissary: The Erdtree Avatar. Doubling as a melee heavy-hitter and a ranged arcane sorcerer, these minor manifestations of the Erdtree drop some treasures you need for the best Wondrous Physick combinations.
5 Weeping Peninsula
At the southernmost end of Limgrave lies the Weeping Peninsula region, and probably the first Erdtree Avatar you will face. Found at the base of a Minor Erdtree, you can get there from the Tombsward Site of Grace, which is directly below the Erdtree in question.
Weeping Peninsula's resident Erdtree Avatar gives you a taste of what is to come, showing you what to expect when facing other Erdtree Avatars. From slamming to the ground in a catastrophic golden burst to flinging golden projectiles toward you, the Erdtree Avatar is a hard-hitter with its mallet. But once it's dead, it will grant you some amazing drops. From the much-needed Opaline Bubbletear that coats you in a hardy bubble to the Crimsonburst Crystal Tear that gradually refills depleted HP, it will make for a fantastic Physick combination.
4 Caelid Wilds
Another Erdtree Avatar close to Limgrave is in Caelid Wilds, but since the latter region is known for its higher-level enemies, this Erdtree Avatar has a few new tricks up its sleeves. To get there, you can fast travel to the Smoldering Church Site of Grace, which is the first Site of Grace for Caelid.
Far to the east of the map, with its land soaked a decaying crimson due to Scarlet Rot, Caelid's Erdtree Avatar has been imbued with the power of Scarlet Rot. It hits harder and now deals Scarlet Rot buildup as well whenever it does a grand slam or spills Scarlet Rot mist from its open trunk, so perhaps some Neutralising Boluses are in order. A Greenburst Crystal Tear and Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear are the rewards for defeating this abomination of nature.
3 Liurnia Of The Lakes (Southwest)
Now for the Liurnia of the Lakes region, where there are two Erdtree Avatars you have to contend with. The first Erdtree Avatar is in the southwest, and once more, at the base of another Minor Erdtree. To get there, fast travel to the Converted Tower Site Of Grace.
Similar to the Erdtree Avatar you fought at the Weeping Peninsula's Minor Erdtree, expect the same move set with this one. Do the same strategy you did when fighting the first Erdtree Avatar, avoiding overhead slams and the usual projectiles. Whether you would like to fight on horseback or on foot, Erdtree Avatars pull no punches with their impeccable range. You will get a Cerulean Crystal Tear and Ruptured Crystal Tear to add to your Flask of Wondrous Physick collection.
2 Liurnia Of The Lakes (Northeast)
After facing the Erdtree Avatar to the southwest, it is time to face the one in the northeast of the Liurnia of the Lakes. Very close by to the Frenzied Flame Village, you would want to fast travel to the closest fast travel point to get there, which is the Mausoleum Compound Site of Grace.
Surrounded by giant cracked jars, this Erdtree Avatar is no different from its brethren in Weeping Peninsula and southwestern Liurnia. It uses the same swing and slam attacks, sending golden shards and blasts your way. Of course, the best parts are always what these giants of nature drop once defeated. This boss drops more than its counterparts, however, giving you Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear, Lightning-Shrouding Cracked Tear, and Holy-Shrouding Cracked Tear.
1 Mountaintops Of The Giants
Set amidst a region laden in snow, the final Erdtree Avatar that serves as a boss is found at the Mountaintops of the Giants region in the top right corner of the map. You can get there either from the Freezing Lake Site of Grace or the Snow Valley Ruins Overlook Site of Grace.
Fluttering down from the Minor Erdtree in a cascade of gold, this final Erdtree Avatar boss is starting the boss fight in style — but the surprises do not end there (unfortunately). Unlike the other Erdtree Avatars on this list, this boss can summon a clone of itself, so maybe whipping out some Spirit Ashes is best. The good thing is that you can lure the real boss to the other side of the arena, and the clone will be slow to catch up. But aside from that new move, everything else about it is the same. As a reward for killing it, you will receive Crimson Bubbletear and Cerulean Crystal Tear.
