There are two ways to fight the boss; You either use the game world against the boss, or the game mechanics. In Crimson Desert, it's a bit of both. For example, an archery contest requires you to place floating cores in the right place, and another boss requires you to slam tree trunks on top of them. They both use traversal mechanics and things found in Pywel's game world.
However, if there are no trees around, it seems that there is another way for you to fight the boss, perhaps those found in the Abyss or other such areas. It's very simple, actually, but requires some preparation. All you have to do is get some bumblebees, release them, and don't get hit while they work.
Not a bee!
As shown by Zephryss on Twitter (via Gamers Club), if you come across a boss you're struggling with, and there will be many, you can release some captured bumblebees that will deal constant DOT damage to them. Of course, it will take some time to deplete their health bar, so you can't just sit around doing nothing.
You can find bees around bees on trees. Just cut down the tree, and you will be able to catch some of them. It's a great strategy to drain the boss's health bar while you're at a safe distance and commit to attacking only when you're sure. It may not be very effective against some late game bosses, though.
However, if you don't want to carry a bunch of bees with you, you can always use a beehive club. As its name suggests, it's a comb with a bee tip on the end that releases bees and does the same thing. The only difference is that you can capture more bees if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Unfortunately, the Beehive Club is a random drop in destroying bees, so you'll have to work for it.
