The Draconic Tree Sentinel guarding the entrance to Leyndell is infamous for having all the elements of a regular Tree Sentinel, but tougher, and with moves that are more impossible to dodge.

So why fight him at all? Why not just kill him without ever alerting him to your presence?

Without fail, slowly poisoning the Draconic Tree Sentinel with the Poison Mist incantation - never aggroing him, or getting his attention, in the process - has been useful for people who fear the sentinel. All you need is patience to re-apply the poison every so often.

It's slow, but effective. Make sure you have the FP required for this. All you have to do is sneak in a wide arc to the left of the Sentinel's boss arena until you're at the fog door directly behind him. Then, in a sneaky crouch, get close to his back. Then begin applying the poison mist. Keep applying until he's dead.

Make sure not to directly attack him or even walk around, or risk him noticing you.

You can also make him fall off the cliffside, but this is a bit more difficult (if a bit faster) to achieve.
