You may notice a meter that appears in the center of the screen and goes up as you block or get hit by Vordt’s attacks. The only other concern you should have when facing off against Vordt is avoiding frostbite. If you’re close to Vordt or behind him during this attack you can hit him numerous times before he stops and resumes his other attacks. If you’re unable to get behind Vordt, move to his right side (once again, your left) as the ice beam attack that follows starts from Vordt’s left and moves to the right. If Vordt remains stationary and ice starts forming in his mouth, get behind him as quickly as possible. If this happens dodge away as quickly as possible to avoid taking damage.

Vordt may also attempt to jump on top of you. As soon as you see Vordt move, dodge to the direction you’re moving to avoid the dashing attack. This can be difficult to avoid if you’re not already moving to the left or right in preparation. Once Vordt reaches approximately 50 percent health he backs away and starts using a fast, charging attack.

Attack a few times then try to get behind Vordt again. This isn’t a bad place to be because most of Vordt’s attacks will miss when you’re that close. If you stay locked on to Vordt there will be times when you’ll find yourself right smack in the middle of him, unable to even see your character. This makes it easier to time your roll to avoid his various mace attacks. While Vordt will move around to try to face you, it shouldn’t be too difficult to move right back to his back side.Īs you’re approaching Vordt favor his right side (your left) that isn’t holding the mace. It’s best to stay close to Vordt and hug his rear end as much as possible. If you keep your distance from Vordt he will use multiple long-reaching attacks that can be difficult to dodge if you’re not ready for them.
