Vordis, the Runewalker
EpicBosses
Vordis, the Runewalker is a massive stone construct world boss summoned by solving the Puzzle of Lake Kharonso in the Hernand region. It has a glowing prism on its head that serves as its weak point. Using Axiom Force to pull the prism causes Vordis to collapse into pieces, creating damage windows. Defeating Vordis rewards the Mossy Secret Map which reveals all Legendary Fish locations, plus an Abyss Artifact.
