Tree Woman (also called Birch Woman) is an Enemy in the Ashes of Ariandel DLC.
Tree Woman Enemy Description
- A white tree taking a feminine shape, with long branches for arms.
- There are three types: regular Tree Women that attack with an icy breath, Smoldering Tree Women which release a mass of slow, homing flames, can be identified by the small flames on the tips of their branches; and Mad Tree Woman which will crawl at you and swipe the branches wildly to attack you.
Tree Woman Combat Information
- Both types can grab the player, it appears it's not possible to button mash your way out of the grab.
- Deals Physical (Standard?) or Fire Damage. May also inflict Frostbite.
- Can stretch their arms to attack the player.
- Highly vulnerable to Fire Damage.
- Resistant to Lightning Damage.
- Immune to Bleed and Frostbite.
- Can be Lured?
- Can be Rapported?
Tree Woman Notes & Trivia
- Many Tree Women are no longer able to move and only serve as regular harmless trees, unable to attack or be attacked.
- Their roots actually act like tiny legs that they move forward with, albeit very slowly.
- Tree Woman guarding Snap Freeze has an unused dialogue connected with Pontiff Sulyvahn. Also, she attacks in similar way, to an unused version of the Bed of Chaos boss from Dark Souls I.
- To distinguish a hostile Tree Woman from a harmless tree, look at their hair. If the hair is flowing in the wind, then it's an enemy. If it's not moving, it's just a tree.

trying to dodge over a dozen homing projectiles while also trying not to get mauled by an entire pack of wolves was certainly an experience

They kinda remind me of the dryads from Greek mythology. Perhaps that was the inspiration for this enemy………….

I always thought the tree women were some kind of manifestation of Friede watching us and trying to kill us. Just a hunch I guess.
The fact that the mad tree woman had cut dialogue about the Pontiff seems to suggest otherwise though

does the crawling variant get less agressive at low health? or at least it uses the slam down attack more

That crazy one that spawn ladder - that's what Bed of Chaos should be like.

This things absolutely freak out when you do any sort of fire damage to them. I feel really bad for them when I use fire damage against them because they let out some horrifying screams, but it's the most efficient way to deal with them imo.

Interesting enemy I think her name must have originally been witchtree? It’s a tree woman that casts pyromancy...aka the witchtree branch staff

The one guarding the freeze spell and hidden ladder attacks a lot like the bed of chaos. Connection? Probably a stretch, but the painting is for unwanted people, and chaos, as described by the chaos blade's description in ds2, is an unwanted thing that is cast away.

The one guarding Snap Freeze and have a cut dialogue is Pontiff Sulyvahn mother for sure.

This page says they are immune to poison, but I have been able to poison them with the Poison Mist pyromancy.

Dark Souls fans will jerk off to anything remotely feminine, I swear. Bet there's someone jerking off to the sewer centipede right now.

I remember trying to get the followers javelin weapon and one of these things following me all the way to it. I turned around after picking it up to see a tree lady just there ready to kill me with 50 homing flames. I never went back into ariandel again.

The Tree Lady guarding the Snap Freeze spell crawls around in a suspicously representative way of Bed of Chaos' unused sprite where she was supposed to crawl after you.

Its official name is 'Birch Woman', as mentioned in the patch notes of Update 1.08.

Kill it with fire. Anyone notice that the hair on this thing is very similar to the hair of the sewer centipedes?
There are actually two types. The normal tree women and then there is one special woman at the bottom of the ravine guardian a frost spell.
They're all vulnerable to fire and will squirm if hit with firebombs etc. They seem to be resistant to lightning, as I had a hard time killing them on my cleric.
The normal women can either summon little homing flames or they can puke a flow of frost.Both are homing and go through trees(confirmation please).
They can grab a player inflicting frost damage. Alternatively they also have some deceptively long range striking attacks.
The tree guarding the frost spell isn't a whole lot tougher, but it's likely to charge you if you get close and thrash around. It's much more aggressive than the other women.
I think it has the same moveset as the other plus the charging and flailing.
If you can get behind a tree woman, one cast of pillars of light usually kills them outright. (60 faith, first born ring)
So Sully is oficially "Son of the birch"
