In this Remnant From the Ashes The Ent Boss guide, we will show you how you can defeat The Ent boss in the game. The Ent is a giant tree old tree monster that is slow to move but can overwhelm you with its variety of attacks.
The Ent will remind you of the bosses like the ones that are featured in games like Dark Souls/Sekiro with a big health bar and an area where you have to fight off a giant beast. However, this boss is not that hard to beat and can be easily defeated if you know when to attack, how to attack, where to hit the weak spots and how you can dodge incoming attacks.
Remnant From the Ashes The Ent Boss Guide
Below we have detailed how you can defeat The Ent in Remnant From the Ashes.
The Ent’s Attacks
The Ent has a variety of attacks that come in phases. The first phase will feature him slowly following your position, however, failing to do so because it is so massive and slow. If you do get too close, it will swing its arm to hit you. This is why it is best to keep away from this beast. It counters the distance you create between the two of you by sending out a stomping attack that sends a red shockwave towards your position. This attack can be dodge and rolled sideways to miss. This attack is almost always followed by another stomp, so be ready to dodge and roll again just incase.
The other attack The Ent has is that it will send out smaller enemies that will run towards your position. This is more annoying than having to be a proper attack, but you can deal with the smaller enemies with a shotgun. There will be some enemies that will run to your position and explode near you, so its best to keep them at a distance from you, or to dodge at the last second.
The third attack, which is also the most important for both you and the boss, is the one where he stomps the ground and exposes the red glowing area on its back. This is followed by releasing mortar-like projectiles that fly towards your location. While it is one of the strongest attack The Ent has, it is also one of its weakness, as it leaves it vulnerable to attacks. This is because the glowing red spot on its back is a weak spot that deals massive damage to The Ent.
A variety of other attacks this boss has is a shockwave scream he produces towards your location that deals a little damage and staggers for a second. The other is a double fist stomp that sends a large and wide shockwave towards your location. This wave is quite hard to dodge and must be anticipated way early if you want to avoid it.
How to Defeat
Now that you know what the attacks and moves of The Ent are, let’s look at how you should be dealing damage to this giant beast and to take it down. The Ent is slow, which is a really good advantage to begin with. Keeping your distance from this boss will always give you time to react to its attack and dodge effectively.
The best way to deal damage to the Ent is to attack its weak spot on its back. This weak spot gets exposed when it goes down on its knees to fire the mortars from the exposed glowing red area. This is your best opportunity to attack, however, requires you to dodge as well. So you should dodge, attack, dodge attack and repeat until it gets back on its feet.
Other times when its weak spot is not exposed, continue firing towards its head to continue dealing damage.
About hallway when you are in the boss battle, and when half of The Ent’s health has been depleted, this is when you will start seeing more of the mortar attacks and the little enemies come out more frequently. This part can be overwhelming, where you will be more focused on the smaller enemies rather than The Ent, and will be more prone to incoming attacks from the mortars as well. Your strategy to counter this is to keep moving and keep firing. The smaller enemies will follow you, but will also die from the Ent’s own attacks.
Best Weapons To Defeat The Ent
If you are wondering what the best weapons you can have in this boss battle, it should be pretty obvious that the ones that drain the least stamina, are accurate and deal damage with range are your best options.
This is where you can go with the Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, or the Magnum Revolver for hitting the weak spot of the boss. If you want to take the shotgun along, remember that it will purely be to deal with the smaller enemies and to keep the pressure on The Ent. Do not expect any accuracy from the shotguns when this fight is all about hitting from a distance.
