Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Fire and slashing damage.
• Resistances: Blight and piercing damage.
• Health: High, with regeneration.
• Armor: Moderate, can be broken with sustained attacks.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Root Barrage: The Treant slams its roots into the ground, causing shockwaves and summoning smaller blighted saplings. Dodge the shockwaves and prioritize eliminating the saplings to prevent being overwhelmed.
2. Phase 2: Blight Spores: The Treant releases clouds of blight spores that inflict damage over time and obscure vision. Use the environment to block spores or quickly move through them. Focus fire on the Treant during this phase.
3. Phase 3: Frenzied Growth: The Treant becomes more aggressive, increasing attack speed and initiating sweeping root attacks. This is a DPS check; maintain pressure and utilize your strongest attacks. Exploit openings after its heavy attacks.

Strategy:

• Maintain distance when possible to avoid its sweeping root attacks and ground slams.
• Utilize fire-based weapons or abilities to counter its regeneration and deal bonus damage.
• Prioritize destroying the smaller blighted saplings it summons to reduce incoming damage and pressure.
• When it releases blight spores, find cover or move quickly through the affected areas.
• During its frenzied phase, focus all damage on the Treant, using any defensive abilities or consumables to survive its onslaught.
• Watch for its vulnerable moments after it performs a heavy attack and capitalize with your highest damage output.
