Leaving the old man and his strange remarks behind, the player ventured deeper into Crumbling Farum Azula.
Before long, an enormous figure blocked the road ahead.
It was a knight mounted on an equally massive armored horse. His armor was gold, still gleaming brilliantly in the dim light.
[Draconic Tree Sentinel]
Without question, the battle began the moment they met.
The Draconic Tree Sentinel charged on horseback, sweeping his massive dragon claw across. The player rolled out of the way, the claw brushing past their body. The horse turned, reared high on its forelegs, then spat a fireball from its mouth.
The player used Caria Retaliation to turn it into True Magic Glintblade Phalanx and send it back. Taking advantage of the brief opening after the sentinel's attack, they rushed up and landed two sword strikes. Damage numbers popped up, but the health bar barely moved.
Well, by this point, the player knew this would be a tough fight...
Noticing how frequently the Draconic Tree Sentinel attacked, especially his horse, which sometimes spat three or four fireballs in a row, the player immediately thought of a strategy: rely on Caria Retaliation to counterattack!
So the player avoided melee with the Draconic Tree Sentinel altogether, always running far away to kite him. They simply waited for his horse to spit fireballs, then retaliated.
After an unknown number of retaliations, the Draconic Tree Sentinel's health dropped to a certain point, and he began unleashing Dragonbolt.
But the player stuck to the same strategy, merely rolling whenever he used Dragonbolt.
With the final sword strike, the sentinel's body stiffened, then he and his horse crashed to the ground together, dissolving into motes of light.
