Dark Souls III

Yhorm The Giant

The Giant and The Onion

Yhorm, a descendant of an ancient conquerer, stands guard over his home in the profaned capital. He trusted Humans once, even going so far as to cast away his shield out of grief for one he was supposed to protect. He gifted the humans who doubted him with a blade of storms and another blade of storms to a dear friend before facing his fate as a lord of cinder. Now that friend returns. With blade in hand, ready to smite one he once called friend......

Yhorm is probably my favourite fight so far. Not because of how easy it is, nor because of the weapon you get. No Yhorm is my favourite because of a certain Knight of Catarina. This is by far the most interesting fight based solely on lore. How do Siegward and Yhorm know each other? What was their relationship before this battle? So many questions.

Two Storm Rulers absolutely decimate Yhorm. The fight become less of a fight and more of a tennis match with one side charging an attack while the other heals. If you want this fight to be fair then don't follow Siegward's storyline to the end. Even without him though, Storm Ruler chews through Yhorm like a hot knife through butter.

Lord of Cinder Slain. Two more remain.

Side note: Having played only a bit of Dark Souls 1 I didn't fully appreciate Siegward's character when I met him in DS 3. Having followed him till the end though, I see that he is indeed a grand character and fighter, I only wish there was more interaction with him afterwards. Praise to the Onion Bro!!
