"Vorlog! Listen — / Your name means Less Than Me / I define it thus."
Oryx, the Taken King

Vorlog is a Hive Knight with rotating shield types that appears as a boss in the Court of Oryx.[1] Vorlog once killed many Celebrants of Oryx as tribute to his master, Oryx, the Taken King. Despite praising this, Oryx rebuked Vorlog and defined his name as meaning "Less Than Me."[2]

He would later return in Season of the Deep in Destiny 2, where he was repeatedly resurrected by the Lucent Brood, commanded by Šimmumah ur-Nokru, Lucent Necromancer to assist in defending the ritual of reviving Oryx by Necromancy and the Light of a Hive Ghost.[3].

Gameplay[edit]

Court of Oryx[edit]

Vorlog is one of the Tier 1 bosses of the Court of Oryx Created Public Event. His peculiarity is his possession of multiple Absorption Shields. He will be protected by an Arc one when first summoned, and if allowed time to regenerate it after it is destroyed, he can change it to Solar or Void very quickly. Other than this, one should be mindful of reinforcements, but concentrated attacks with heavy damage weapons will bring Vorlog down very quickly.

Ghosts of the Deep[edit]

Vorlog, Risen in Heresy will be summoned by Šimmumah ur-Nokru after a player activates Deepsight for the first time. The Knight will be already infused with a Lucent Moth as well as highlighted by a glow. He will aggressively rush towards Guardians to hack them with his Cleaver. Even if he is slain, Šimmumah ur-Nokru will resurrect him soon after. Players must kill Vorlog while they are near the correct part of Oryx's corpse, visible through Deepsight. They will know they are near enough by the glowing green circle that appears on the ground. If done correctly, Šimmumah ur-Nokru will teleport to the body part and in doing so weaken the ritual, revealing one of the runes required to begin the damage phase. This must be done three times each phase, after which Šimmumah will stop resurrecting Vorlog.

Trivia[edit]

  • Vorlog and Ecthar, Sword of Oryx are currently the characters with the longest gap between in-game appearances, tied at 2810 days.
