How To Beat Putrid Avatar

As mentioned earlier, Putrid Avatar is a low-tier boss you will encounter in Minor Erdtree during your quest to find the Thorny Cracked Tear. For this boss fight, we recommend that you use magical or holy damage. Putrid Avatar is the guardian of the Minor Erdtree, although the effects of the Scarlet Rot have rotten him from the inside.


While he is a low-tier boss, his weapon swings can cause heavy damage to you. It can use the Scarlet Rot to damage you with its ground slam. The key to winning this battle is to keep dodging his attacks. And while you do that, keep dealing magical and holy damage as much as you can. If you have something like Comet Azur, that will reduce a chunk of his HP quite quickly.
