You’re going to find Scadutree Avatar in Scadutree Base, which is northeast of Shadow Keep, where you can find bosses like Commander Gaius. You’ll likely find this boss almost at the same time as Commander Gaius, but you don’t necessarily have to defeat one before the other.

The three phases of Scadutree Avatar are particularly frustrating, as you need to kill it dead all three times, albeit with 25% less health each time. However, in between each phase, you do get a moment of respite to use any potions you want to prepare.
In terms of combat, Scadutree Avatar is extremely aggressive, and we wouldn’t particularly recommend a melee approach here. Its weak spot is on its head, which is difficult to hit with melee, and it makes a substantial impact when it comes to the amount of damage you’re dealing to the boss. This is why we’d recommend a Magic approach here, aiming your spells at this weak spot while keeping a good distance at all times.
As long as you’re using ranged attacks to target the head, you won’t find too much troubling once you learn the attack patterns of Scadutree Avatar. If you’re using melee-only, then all the best with the war of attrition you’re about to be in for.
