    If this is still too tricky at your current level, you can also cheese him by going far enough away from him. If you head in the direction of the big enemy camp, after a while he should turn around and head back to the church. You can basically just run back to him, hit him a few times and then rinse and repeat.

    took me 2 and a half hours to beat him on foot. stick to his shield side for the first half of the fight and stick really close to him in general. if his horse rears up, always roll under it towards the shield side. when he does his charge attack, roll in the same direction he is moving and you will land right next to him for a good attack.

    Around the boss arena are some elevated ruins Southeast from the church. If you have an ample supply of darts/arrows/patience, you can fight the tree sentinel without it even landing a scratch on you. Be aware that the sentinel can occasionally get on the platform, so have your horse at the ready.
    The ruins can be seen at 6:10 for clarification.

How I did it was I found out you can stand on a building right in front of the first merchant and the sentinel can’t get you. You can jump up on the corner and just shoot him with arrows. It took about 50 arrows but I killed him as the samurai and he was actually the 4th enemy I killed in the game.

    Killed him right out of starting area. Took about 4 hours between him and the dragon. I found an attack I could bait him into while I was on foot and it out him right next to me which allowed me to get 2 hits safely or 3 with a little danger. For this fight I did very little dodging. I found the most open spot I could find, then ran in one direction and then doubled back in the other direction and repeated that. Then what I did was bait his charging sweep attack. If I had a little space between him and me already and then started running in opposite direction, he would sweep attack before arriving to me and then would finish charge right in front of my character which lets me hit him 3 times. Then I just double backed and repeated this until he was dead.

    There were some Berry things I picked up each time I fought him (immediately after leaving start) I had 26 of then by the time I killed him.
    My advice for beating him out the gate is obviously be familiar with his attack pattern, and stay on his right side, (away from weapon) focus on his mount, I was using the halberd and jump attacks seemed to stagger him after 3 good hits to his mounts face.
    By about the 17 time mark I was kinda kicking his ass unless he managed to land a single hit then proceeded to stun lock me to death, that mount side bump attack was the cause of the majority of my deaths.
    By the time I beat him I had 2 out of 4 flasks left.

    as a brand new souls player, i've been loving the Vagabond with the starting halberd & shield, i found that greatsword and i've been heavily debating if it's better or not.
    The Halberd staggering enemys almost every single hit is so good, took me about 9 trys to kill the Tree Sentinel and got the Golden Halberd now.
    is it worth building towards using it? or are greatswords a better pathway?
    Really looking for some advice as i have no idea what i'm really supposed to build into as it's my first ever go around of a souls game let alone Elden Rings.
    I'd like to say so far I've tried the lighter sword you start with as well and i did not enjoy the faster speed of the weapon since it losses so much damage if that gives any hint towards my preferences.

The trick for me was to bait out his running sweep attack at enough distance so he would hit my shield and push me back so I'd end up next to the butt end of his horse to give a slash or two. Also important to release the shield button between his attacks to allow stamina to regen faster.

    I just beat him at level 14. simply wait at the church entrance on torrent and wait for him to make his rounds towards you and then turn to go back towards the bottom of the hill. when he gets about 3/4s the way, charge torrent and charge up your strong attack. if you did it right, he will turn towards you clock wise, his right. land your blow while aiming left and hit the back of his horse or the legs. continue left until you get to the ledge, turn left and head up towards the dragons and when you get up the hill, head towards the church. he will get stuck coming that way and revert back to his patrol. repeat carefully until dead.
