Notes from author
Lame boss in Dark Souls 3 but had a cool weapon and a weird, random armor set-up that you can DUPLICATE IN THIS GAME! Sort of. In DS3 he technically DOES wear pants, it's just that loincloths are not a thing in this game since you already have a tight pair of asschaps in this game with pants removed.
And there's really no weapon/shield combo quite like Valorheart in any of the games sad to say. Nothing that even looks the part. This is close enough though.
And yeah he does bust out a staff and shoot magic at you in DS3 in the wolf phase if you remember (won't blame if you if you don't - not really a boss to remember). Some form of a soul arrow and snap freeze. There's really nothing like snap freeze in this game but Dark Fog is the closest as far as being an AoE auxiliary effect spell, but instead of frostbite, which doesn't exist in this game it's, well, poison. Close...enough?
