Skills and Abilities

Chop

A basic melee attack dealing moderate physical damage.

Shadow Blast

A basic ranged attack dealing moderate magical damage.

Rend

Vaduroth prepares for a vicious swing, raising its axe above its head then driving it down at its target, dealing very high physical damage and knocking them down. This can be blocked.

Crow's Feast

Vaduroth conjures a storm of ravenous crows that begins flying around the arena independtly, indicated by a large red circle, dealing continuous high physical damage. The swarm also throws projectiles at nearby targets outside of it, which deals moderate magical damage.

Discard

At 75%/50%/25% health, Vaduroth throws its sickle away from itself in the arena, which briefly animates on its own and pulls targets to it, who are stunned and flailing the entire way (with no way to interrupt). Once at the sickle, targets are imbued with shadowy energy, indicated by growing red circles, which combusts dealing moderate magical damage, and deals more damage if multiple targets remain close together. Defeating the animated sickle causes it to remain lodged into the ground temporarily, with a green circle around it.

Sickle Toss

While in the green circle, looking up to the ceiling at any of the hanging corpses shows a "Use" prompt, and making use of the prompt causes the sickle to be thrown at the highlighted body. This results in the body exploding and dropping Virulent Viscera into the arena that is allied against the boss.

The sickle lands in the direction of the selected body, creating another green circle, and can be tossed again, but Vaduroth will recall it if not used fast enough, and the time window to do so becomes shorter after each use.

Harvest

Vaduroth teleports to one of the strapped corpses and brings them back to life as a Reanimated Vampire so that theycan assist in the fight. The reanimation process grants a small damage shield to Vaduroth and the reanimated vampire. This always occurs after "Discard".

Collection

Vaduroth flies up to the hanging corpses and slashes one, spawning a Virulent Viscera of its own to assist in the fight.

Dialogue

Idling before combat:

"Sing the void. Pull it out. Arrive."

"Spike of blood. Build her dolls. Send us home."

"Place is now. Ready? A simple drip."

"His plan still thrives, swarms, breeds. Hunters gather. They know."

"Not as were. Open meat. Stay."

Vaduroth reanimating a vampire

When it uses its sickle:

"Drain!"

"Spoiler…"

Group wipe:

"Empty. Flawed. Barely meat. No use for her."

"Shells. Nothing but shells. Filled with empty! Now you're done."

"You do nothing. No soul. No teeth. Void. Just void!"

"Song of dust. Simple dirt and bones. Peel the scales! Failure."

"Memories. Thoughts. Words. All have gone. To the hooks!"

???:

"Skin of wheat. Chaff of soul. Sifted."

"Is it flesh? Yes. Drink it up."

"It falls. No meaning. Step across! Delight."

"Fall. Fall. Fall! She rejoices. Closer now."

"A crack opens. It pours out! Spills. No more."

Notes

• The corpses hanging from the arena ceiling are comprised of; a bristleback, a broodhand, a chaurus, a commoner, an echatere, a Falmer, a noble, an ogre, a sabre cat, a senche-raht, a Vale deer doe, a troll, a werewolf, and a wolf. However, they are counted as interactive objects rather than NPCs (as such, no nameplate/health).
