Dark Souls III

Curse-Rotted Greatwood

The Cursed reminder of the hollows curse

The Undead have little meaning to their lives. What can be found but to pray for some salvation? To serve a cause, anything to escape the monotony of a life unending. The Great Wood answers and unleashes its fury.

The Curse Rotted Greatwood felt more like a filler boss. A sentinel to stand guard over a dying place. In a way a tree is a perfect representation of decay, the leaves die, the trunk withers. But as long as the roots remain so does its life, perhaps thats why the hollows in the area identify so strongly with and pray to a tree. A giant moving tree but still.

As a boss the Curse Rotted Greatwood isn't so difficult. The difficulty can be found more in trying to locate its weak points. But once they are found and attacked the battle becomes much easier. My first real test of pyromancy as well. 

Side note: You may have noticed I gained extra souls at the end. That was Hodrick. A mound maker. A covenant that is directly underneath the Greatwood. I already knew he was under there and having fought him earlier as a NPC invader I was perfectly comfortable with letting him get squashed. 

Get Rekt you invading bastard.
