It should be noted that the player in the video upgraded their Latenna to level 9, meaning that players whose Spirit Ash is at a lower level might take much longer to defeat this enemy. This unique Spirit acts as a turret, unable to move from the location where she is summoned, making her the perfect spirit to take down the Draconic Tree Sentinel from a distance. The only way for Latenna to move is if she is spawned near an enemy Direwolf, which she can use as a mount.
