In the Elden Ring dungeons you can find various secondary bosses that will try to make things difficult for you on your journey through the Middle Lands, although they also offer the most succulent rewards that will probably come in handy to advance more easily. Some of them are repeated in different areas, although the strategy to defeat them is always the same. In our complete Elden Ring guide we tell you What should you do exactly so you don’t miss a single boss alive in From Software’s game.
This time we have to talk about the Funeral Guardian Dog of the Golden Tree, a secondary boss that appears up to four times in different areas of the Elden Ring. You can locate one of them in the Stormscarp Catacombs in West Necrolimbo and another in East Liurnia Cliffside Catacombs. Lastly, in the Caelid Golden Tree Catacombs you meet two at once.
Where to find the Golden Tree Funeral Guard Dog and how to defeat it
The locations of this boss have already been indicated to you previously, so you will know where to locate them as long as you have unlocked the three catacombs in which the Funerary Guardian Dogs of the Golden Tree appear. Probably the first one you will face will be the Necrolimbo if you have explored the initial area enough, although the strategy should be the same for all of them with one exception: the confrontation in Caelid with which you will face two at the same timesomething we will delve into later.
In the solo matchup, what you need to know is that the Golden Tree Funeral Guard Dog is an insane boss, as he all his attacks have a brutal follow-up to the character, so it’s really hard to dodge them. Our recommendation is that summon the wolves so that they can attack him from several fronts and distract him so that you can attack from a different flank with the most powerful attacks you have. The good news is that is a boss that takes a long time to react after executing an attack, so you will have a few key seconds to hit him several times. That, added to the damage from the wolves, should be enough to take him down without a hitch.
The difficult part comes in the Catacombs of the Golden Tree of Caelid, where you will have to face two at the same time, as we mentioned before. The strategy in this case is very clear: go first to get the Funeral Guard Dog from the magical Golden Tree, which is much more dangerous than the other one you have already faced before. At this point you will have a better summon than the wolves, so use it and go all out for the magical one, but always preventing the two from meeting on the ground or it will be your downfall. By keeping your distance and attacking wisely, you shouldn’t have any major problems.
