"Mastering the Challenge: Elden Ring Tips on Defeating Erdtree Burial Watchdog"




 There are three types of bosses in Elden Ring; Demigods like Godrick the Grafted, Great Enemies like Margit the Fell Omen, and Enemies like Erdtree Burial Watchdog. The first one is a main boss, and is mandatory for those hoping to progress in the game. Great Enemies, on the other hand, are mini-bosses that are often found guarding important items. The final type are optional bosses, which are typically found through exploration of Lands Between.


The Erdtree Burial Watchdog can be found in multiple catacombs in Elden Ring. Each of them has lesser enemies guarding the boss room. Tarnished will need to defeat them all in order to fight this boss.


Updated January 2nd, 2024 by Russ Boswell: The Erdtree Burial Watchdog comes in a variety of flavors that players must battle throughout their Elden Ring journey. These imposing bosses can be a bit annoying to deal with for those who aren't aware of their strange and punishing attack patterns. To better help players in beating the Erdtree Burial Watchdog in Elden Ring, the following guide has been updated to now include a companion video.


Where To Find Erdtree Burial Watchdog In Elden Ring


To reach the Stormfoot Catacombs, players should teleport to Church of Elleh and walk northwest. They'll then need to jump down the small cliff and look for a closed door, behind which is a Site of Lost Grace. After lighting it up, players will need to explore the catacomb pretty thoroughly, all while being careful of the fire mechanisms inside. Tarnished can easily shut it down by using a Bow or Crossbow.


To reach the Impaler's Catacombs, players should teleport to Castle Morne Rampart and climb up the cliffside from the east. They can then open the entrance and light up the Site of Lost Grace. Because dead bodies used to be left to rot in here, this domain is crawling with Imps and Skeletons. Players should explore the Impaler's Catacombs until they find a lever to open the big door.


To reach the Cliffbottom Catacombs, players should travel to Liurnia Highway North and then head down southeast. As always, they should open the door and light the Site of Lost Grace. There are many traps inside here, so players should be careful not to step on any big square tile. Cliffbottom Catacombs are filled with Imps and Ogres, so it's best to kill the Imps before defeating the latter.


To get to the Wyndham Catacombs, players will need to travel to Abandoned Coffin and then walk north. It's quite far from the Site of Lost Grace, so Tarnished will encounter many enemies on the way. Riding Torrent the Spirit Horse is immensely helpful. Upon reaching the catacombs' door, players should open it and light the bonfire. The final room (which has the lever) is guarded by an Imp and a Gold Dragon Cult Knight. After pulling it, players can go back to fight the Erdtree Burial Watchdog.
