In my opinion, the easiest boss monster to befriend isthe Cursed Tree.Located in the Spring Region’s Guardian Grove, this boss’s level disparity and an easily-obtained gift item make adding the Cursed Tree to your team a breeze.
10 Best Dragon Quest Monster Designs, Ranked
What would Dragon Quest be without monsters like Slimes and Golems?
Although the Cursed Tree is Level 15, low-level party members grow quickly in Guardians of Azuma. Bring it along for a few days of adventuring, and your leafy friend will be plenty caught up.
And with powerful ranged attacks and a Wind-element AOE, this former foe is a worthwhile addition. Even though the Cursed Tree’s party role is Attacker, its HP pool is hefty enough that it won’t go down easily.
Unlock Monster Taming
Naturally, the first step in befriending the Cursed Tree is learning how to tame monsters! This classic facet of theRune Factoryseriesunlocks after you revive Kurama, the God of Autumn.
Once you begin rebuilding Autumn Village, the tanuki child Kotaro asks you to help him befriend a Buffamoo. This allows you touse the Plum Branch to perform the Dance of Bonds on monsters.
The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - How To Tame And Register A Horse
Wondering how you can tame or register a horse in Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom? Well, here’s a guide to answer that question.
Taming Requirements
If you’ve performed the Dance of Bonds correctly, a small smiley-face icon appears over a monster’s head. Defeat it, and you can try befriending it by giving gifts. The gift doesn’t have to be in your Inventory. Monsters can be given a gift from your Storage, or even your construction items.
Monsters react to gifts they like with a heart icon, and gifts they dislike with a skull icon. you may try giving a gift three times. Even if they like the gift, though, there’s still a chance befriending will fail.
Guardians of Azumadoesn’t give much info on the mechanics of monster-taming. Your odds are probably connected to the difference in level between you (or your party) and the monster. I’ve never successfully tamed a higher-level monster.
You also need to build a barn to store your monsters. Feel free to build it in any of your villages—after befriending a monster, you can send it to any of your barns. Assign that barn a Herder, and it’ll provide raw ingredients for theoodles of crafting recipesinGuardians of Azuma.
Storage Units
35 Lumber, 15 Stone
Large Barn
100 Lumber, 40 Stone
Small monsters (like a Wooly) take up one slot in a barn, but bigger monsters require more space. However, you can rearrange monsters in your barns at any time from the Villagers menu.

Replacing Bulbasaur
If you want to add Bulbasaur’s tall, foul-tempered cousin to your roster, you’ll need the following:
By this point in the game, you should be well past the Cursed Tree’s level. It shouldn’t give you any trouble when attempting to befriend it.
Odds are, you already have an unused Wind Crystal in your Storage Box. If you don’t—sold it, didn’t you?—Wind Crystals drop from Lantern enemies. They’re also dropped by the Cursed Tree itself. If you don’t have a Wind Crystal, kill the boss and come back tomorrow to befriend it.
Alternatively, you can buy one from Hisui’s shop in Summer Village for an onerous 10,000 gold.
Next, it’s time for a rematch! Warp to the Dragon Statue just outside the Guardian Grove, and head up to the floating purple orb to relive your fight.Wave the Plum Branchuntil you see the smiley-face icon, thenchop that tree down.
Later in the game, you’ll encounter a reskin of this boss. You can alsobefriend the Corpse Treewith a Wind Crystal.
Once the Cursed Tree is down,give it the Wind Crystaland send it to a new home in one of your barns. If befriending fails, you’ll have to come back and repeat the process on another in-game day.
There’s no limit to how many times you’re able to fight the game’smost powerful monsters—andno limit to how many Cursed Trees you can tame.
