Elden Ring Fan Draws Stunning Draconic Tree Sentinel Manga Panel
Elden Ringfans may have found a foolproof method for defeating the Draconic Tree Sentinel, but for the characters in the manga panel, there’s no escaping the boss’ fury. One Redditor noted the panel’s style echoed the pen strokes and shading style found in the late Kentaro Miura’sBerserkmanga, and the artist commented that the mangaka was a major source of inspiration. Furthermore, other fans of the panel requested a whole manga to be drawn and called particular praise towards the inclusion of halberds and a variety of other weaponry in the combat.
The Draconic Tree Sentinel can be found in the Capital Outskirts of the Crumbling Farum Axula dungeon, and victorious players can gather the Dragonclaw Shield, Dragon Greatclaw, and the Malformed Dragon Armor set as drops. Some Soulslike players are under the firm opinion thatElden Ringplayers need to beat the Draconic Tree Sentinel before the Maliketh boss fight, otherwise it’s an automatic knockout, and the artist’s manga panel confirms this is not an enemy to be taken lightly.
