The fight

Mechanics

Vardorvis has 700 health and gets three attacks in before the axes start.

Axes fly across the arena for up to 35 plus a bleed, so run two tiles diagonally. Spikes crack the ground for up to 25, and staying near the edges keeps them down. His head fires a green cone you have to block with Protect from Missiles. His strangle traps you in tendrils you must destroy within 5 ticks. Protect from Melee cuts his normal attacks by 75%.

Which style: Slash, his weakest defence. The soulreaper axe is best, and set any weapon to its slash style.
