Vordt of the Boreal Valley is an early boss in Dark Souls 3, released by FromSoftware in 2016. Once a knight of Irithyll, he was transformed into a hulking beast that guards the foot of the High Wall of Lothric on all fours. His fight is known for its fast charges, frost attacks and aggressive second phase, accompanied by one of the game's most memorable early themes. Clips of his roars and music are widely reused by Souls fans in edits, memes and boss ranking videos.
