Dark Pt.2

After a few seconds of cloudy vision I arrive in high wall of lothric just as usual.

I stand up and open the door out to the wider area of the castle wall.

Now, this isnt the game. I dont have to follow the rules of this stupid ass game like needing to find a key for a thin wooden door.

It always irked me in Elden Ring when my character literally slayed gods but was incapable of smashing open a small door in a castle.

Im going to the left and Im going to simply smash open the shortcut door because I am indeed scared as shit of the Wyvern on the right path to the tower on the wall bonfire.

Anywho, I walk down the small staircase and aproach the leftmost staircase of the wall.

I walk down and 2 undead doges rush at me, the first one leaps at me.

I kick it in the face and turn my attention to the second doggo.

I slash my halberd out and plow through its rotten flesh, goring its stomach and killing it instantly.

The other doge limps away in a natural act of fear so I put it out of its misery and slice its head off.

A two handed axe wielding hollow soldier rushes at me, I barely dodge its first wild attack

I block his second attack and thrust my weapon out, it impacts the hollow who barely blocks it. It screams out and lashes out like an animal.

I dodge backwards but my armor gets grazed by a few near misses. I front kick the hollow and send him back, he recoups quickly and goes for an underhand strike.

I parry the attack and slash my halberd across the hollows open neck and kill him instantly.

A crossbow bolt imbeds itself into the armor on my back and I turn to see 2 crossbow hollows reloading.

I rush at them and kill them both with a sweeping attack.

I sit and rest after the little skirmish, after getting my breath under control I take off my helmet and wipe the sweat off my brown

I stand up and place my helmet back on before heading down the side path to the shortcut lift.

I aproach the small wooden door.

Here's the moment of truth.

I slam my leg into the door, my thick cast iron boots smash the door off its hinges.

LETS FUCKING GOOOO!

FUCK YOU LOTHRIC KNIGHT AND FUCK YOU DRAGON!!

I enter the room and quickly approach the huge lever, I grip it tightly and pull back with all my might.

The rusty lever gives and I hear the lift chugging upwards after a minute of waiting the lift locks into place.

I walk ontop of the button and the lift slowly descends.

I get to stare at moist brick and mortar as I wait for the lift to go down.

*Ching*

The lift locks in place.

I walk forward and open the door.

An ambush appears here so the best course of action would be to run like hell.

In my genius I do indeed run like hell. Screams of peasant hollows sound out as I run past an archer on the stairs, I mantle over a small garden and arrive infront of Vordts bossroom with a thud.

Here we go kiddies.

I push through the fog wall.

A cold chill goes through my body as I enter the arena.

A massive set of doors with roots overgrown into them lies across the massive room. A low fog of chilling frost hugs the ground.

*BOOM*

A massive armored beast slams down from the ceiling.

It roars out in agony and slams its mace to the ground and stands up on 2 legs

[VORDT WATCHDOG OF BOREAL VALLEY]

[HP 750/750]

Vordt rushes at me and I narrowly dash around his maces sweeping attack.

He lashes out with his back legs and a firm foot is kicked into my chest.

I feel some blood flow out of my mouth as I lurch back from the attack.

Pain sears through my ribs.

Vordt charges at me and slams his mace, I block the attack with my halberd and push it off to the side, I side kick the bosses head.

[HP 700/750]

Damn that did nothing.

Vordt stumbles back but it recovers quickly and screeches at me, frost breath shoots forward like a bullet and envelops me, I feel my legs stiffen and I try to dodge the thrust of his mace but the frost is creeping me to a halt.

The thrust throws me onto the ground, I try to stand up but Vordt jumps high into the air, a blue energy channels into his mace and he slams it right on my torso, unimaginable pain courses through me.

[YOU DIED!]

[Lives remaining 2/3]

I open my eyes and im infront of the boss room again. I forgot I had extra lives. I really thought I was gone forever for a second there.

I need a better plan than just rushing in.

Wait!

You can summon in this game. I totally forgot.

I takr out a homeward bone that I picked up off a dead dog and transport back to firelink shrine to level up and buy the summoning tools.

I embrace the firekeeper and put 6 points into vigor so I can take a few more hits.

She lets go of me and i buy the chalks from the old crone.

[Error]

[Updating]

[You may only summon one time per area.]

Shit, I wont be able to summon for lothric princes because they are technically in the lothric area. Fuck it. My goal is to defeat Vordt anyway.

I teleport back to Vordts boss room.

I place the summoning call for help down and pop an ember.

A few summon signs show up, I know the leftmost one is the swordmaster but he is ass.

I click on a promising looking sign.

[LET ME SOLO HIM]

The golden projection of a naked man with a huge greatsword and a bucket over his head appears.

Its the legend, all the stories are true.

A naked man with a bucket or pot head that can solo every boss, he first grew popular for soloing Melania in Elden Ring thousands of times for miserable players.

I have never clicked summon this fast in my life.

[Summoning...]

[Processing..]

A golden figure raises up out of the summon sign, he raises his arms wide in a T-pose.

He bows towards me before pulling a gigantic sword out.

He stands silently before placing a message down.

[Nice Gundyr playable boss mod bro! I think I've seen you on yutubė!]

I pull up my polearm and he does a nodding emote, I enter the boss fog.

With Let Me Solo Him behind me I charge at Vordt and land a huge overhand weapon art on his head, it does a measly 45 damage.

I dodge the beasts mace.

He charges at me but a giant red blade of energy slams into the boss, it drops his health instantly.

[HP 100/750]

Let Me Solo Him rushes forward with his greatsword and does a backlip spinning attack with Gaels Greatsword, he slams the crooked blade down onto Vordt and beheads him instantly.

[VORDT HAS BEEN DEFEATED.]

[TO CONTINUE DARKSOULS 3 PLEASE LEVEL UP [Main Character] ]

[Rewards: Ratman Spirit [Uncommon LVL 1]

A phantom of a ratman footsoldier from Vermintide, will fight for 12 seconds before returning to its own world. ]

ommah gaw. A good skill that isnt self destructive!

[Gold Phantom: Let me solo him has returned to their world.]

[Time will be frozen until you can continue.]

[Note, free character token for darksouls 3 has been used, you may only return with [Main character] and then defeat [Broken champion Gundyr] To continue]

Holy shit. I dodged a damn bullet didnt I.

If I chose nameless king I would have never been able to come back to this world without getting annihilated. I knew this was a back biting system.

[Transporting to [Main character] ]

When I open my eyes again im still laying on the cold ground of grineer hypotherm steel.

That shit was crazy.

Whew, now that I know about the dimensional trials I need to be way more careful about the character I choose to play.

Welp, I went in ratless and came out with a ratman. Win-win tbh. The rats in vermintide are pretty strong and ravenous so I think my next normal trial is a done deal.

I just want to sleep now.
