RACHEL RANKS: DARK SOULS TRILOGY BOSSES FROM WORST TO BEST
#33: Vordt of the Boreal Valley (Dark Souls 3)
“The dog keeps a close eye on things.”
THE BIG DOG PARTY IS HERE. I'll say right out the gate that Vordt could have made it significantly higher on this list if his entire body wasn't a hitbox during his charge in phase 2 because man, that shit sucks. Other than that, he's a very solid second boss; his phases are distinct, his moveset is slow but hard-hitting with good windows for punishment, and he overall communicates that Dark Souls 3 is going to move a lot faster than 1. His visual design is solid if not innovative, and his music is decently bombastic. I can always appreciate a boss that repeatedly beats my ass on early attempts but is (mostly) fair enough that nowadays I can reliably beat him without getting hit. Good stuff.
Aaaaaahjbbfcehjjzhcbdfjhcef lil elden scribbles !!! Can’t wait for the Elden Ring DLC even though I wont be able to play since I can barely run dark souls 3 low spec on my pc
Miquella was my top fave character instantaneously when the game aired aadbdhfb, I have a thing for what I call ethereal looking blonde bitches that may or may not be 100% saints, sometimes even a bit evil (not Miquella’s case for the evil part imo but who knows)
Men-turned-beasts aren't in constant rage and fury. Sometimes they act like normal animals. Vordt could push things from the table cliff and watch them falling, like a cat. He also enjoys watching the birds demons, making a ekeke-like sounds.
No because i think every single time of the day about the dancer of the boreal valley's name or her lack of. Even after when we recieved her soul and can learn more about her we never recieve what her given name was. She is simply the dancer and she was something else befire but we'll never know because that's what sulyvahn reduced her to
❝ YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE DEMON! ❞ she yells out furiously and strangles his neck, her thumbs pressed against miguel's throat to the point she can feel his pulse racing rapidly.
Bad habit I've picked up from hearing it once but will just call vordt a armor doggo which chill and all until all I can imagine is vordt the ice breathing dog whose music is a great alarm playing fetch with that damn club

Yeah, right, FromSoft would never have the guts to make a boss that:
Has six phases
Will nuke 80% of your health bar in a single attack unless you have frame-perfect dodge/parry timing
Shuts down half your powers (including, oh, the ability to heal) in the first half of the fight
Only allows you three partial heals in the second half
Chucks a very tough miniboss at you halfway through the fight
Surrounds the arena with a shrinking barrier that will gradually k word you if you stay outside it for too long
Just straight-up covers the arena with a minute-long AoE attack that stunlocks you to eeby deeby unless you sacrifice a heal point to use a special move to shut it down in time
