SULFUR Terrorbaum Boss Strategy: Forest Boss Guide

Aim for the eyes on the tree — that is the only way to damage the Terrorbaum, the boss at the end of the Forest. Everything else in the fight is about surviving its attacks and clearing the crows it summons while you keep shooting.

Terrorbaum strategy, step by step

1. Shoot the eyes

   Terrorbaum is a tree covered in several eyes. Only hits to the eyes deal damage, so keep your sights on them rather than spraying the trunk. A fast, accurate gun works best since the eyes are small targets.

2. Kill the crows fast

   The boss summons flying crows, which are hard to spot in the dark forest arena. Take them out quickly — either by shooting them out of the air or by timing your shots for when they drop their wing-shield — so you can focus the eyes again.

3. Dodge the dig attack

   Terrorbaum digs under the ground and resurfaces beneath you. When it burrows, keep moving and jump away when it erupts, because the eruption also releases a shockwave.

4. Survive the uprooted phase

   Once the boss loses around 40% HP, it uproots and starts moving. It dashes at you — there is little you can do except accept some damage while getting out of the way. Players on the Steam forums report the charge hitbox feels huge and nearly impossible to sprint-dodge, so plan to eat that hit.

5. Watch the falling projectiles

   The uprooted tree fires projectiles into the sky that land shortly after. Follow the highlight markers on the ground and step off them. The projectiles deal little damage, so you can also just stand and shoot to finish the fight.

When the Terrorbaum dies, the path to the Shav'Wani Bridge opens.

Getting there and preparing

The Forest comes after the Castle in the progression, and Terrorbaum waits on the final level. En route, prioritize the corrupted sulfur-covered enemies' main bodies over their hands, grab the healing mushrooms, and fire at floating objects to flush out invisible ghosts. Bring plenty of healing and full weapon durability — like any run, dying loses your carried gear.
