History of Vorlog

Overview

Vorlog, Risen in Heresy is a Hive Knight boss in the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. He is not the final boss. He is part of the encounter with Šimmumah ur-Nokru, the Lucent Necromancer, who is the final boss. Vorlog first appeared as a boss in the Court of Oryx in The Taken King, where he has rotating Absorption Shields that switch between Arc, Solar and Void.

Role in Ghosts of the Deep

Vorlog appears during Šimmumah's encounter, after Deepsight reveals three orbs above parts of Oryx's body. He chases players, attacks with his Cleaver and respawns when killed. Killing him near the correct part of Oryx's body draws Šimmumah to that spot. Each location reveals a rune, and all three runes must be revealed before Šimmumah's shield can be damaged. Sources differ on exact details of this step, which may have changed across patches.
