Dancer of the Boreal Valley [Eng]

The one who makes the walls of Castle Lotrick shudder.
Bringing the tactics against this elegant and dangerous boss.

Preparing to battle.

  The boss battle against the Dancer of the Boreal Valley can be trigger at any point once you speak with Emma, High Priestess of Lothric Castle in the High Wall of Lothric area. If you have not defeated the necessary Cinder Lords, you can still initiate the boss battle by killing Emma. Probably, you will return here later

  Once you have defeated the necessary number of Cinder Lords, you are automatically teleported back to the High Wall of Lothric, in the room where you first met Emma (near the Vordt of the Boreal Valley bonfire). Speak with Emma, who is dying on the floor, and she gives you the Basin of Vows. Approach the statue directly ahead to begin the boss battle.

Fighting with boss

   While the Dancer can inflict significant damage in a short time, once you get the timing of her attacks down, this fight isn’t overly difficult. Many of the Dancer’s attacks are telegraph and are slow to initiate. As soon as you see the Dancer shift from her normal movements, an attack is coming. Be prepared to dodge and you won’t have much issue with the battle.



   Usually the Dancer attacks two or three times in a row. Many of her attacks cover a wide radius around her body, but if you try to stay as close to her back as possible you can still avoid most of her attacks. She will place a ring of fire around her that covers all but her back side, so be ready to move if she drags her sword along the ground. In addition, if the Dancer begins spinning continuously, it’s best to back away as far as you can because this onslaught of attacks can be difficult to dodge or block.

  It’s also very important to dodge if the Dancer tries to grab you with her free hand. This grapple attack will kill most characters because it inflicts so much damage. Even if you’re poured a considerable amount of points into increasing your health, the attack will still drain at least 70 percent under the best circumstances.
