Here’s how to get through the War Dead Catacombs and defeat its boss.
This area in can be quite easy to pass through as several enemies have decided to battle each other.
At least not yet.
If you like, you might assist the soldiers, as the knights are a much tougher enemy.
you’re free to literally stand still and collect runes for doing nothing.
Someone always dies here.
The western corridor leads to the boss door, which is currently still blocked.
How do you get to the lever that opens the boss door?
Walk back and look to the left.
You will see a small passageway in the form of a window with a statue behind it.
Jump through there and you will reach a room with several ghosts.
It doesn’t matter whether you want to eliminate them or not.
This opens the entrance to the boss.
He guards theRadahn Soldier Ashes.
The passage to the south leads directly to another item - oneSilver-Pickled Fowl Foot.
Now we’ve seen almost everything the catacombs have to offer.
It’s time to face the boss.
The Putrid Tree Spirit essentially behaves in the same way, butit’s a lot more dangerousthis time round.
The problem with it is its sheer physical strength.
It is not uncommon for a single hit to drain more than half of your health bar.
Summons are very important in this fightto distract the Tree Spirit, at least for a short time.
With luck, you will also manage topush it into a cornerwhere it cannot defend itself very effectively.
The rewards for beating this boss are67,200 runes,Redmane Knight Ogha Spirit Ashes, and aGolden Seed.
