    Vordt Of The Boreal Valley is the second boss you will encounter in dark souls 3 and he can prove quite a challenge if you don't play smart.

    Vordt can break your shield guard in one hit so don't bother using your shield. Vordt also hits very hard and he can cause frost damage which is a new element to dark souls 3 which will slow you & make your stamina bar regen very slowly. To beat him, try get behind him and stay there if you can as he wont be able to hit you here, locking on and rolling left is the best way to do this.

    Midway through the fight he will Agro and start charging at you multiple times. The way to tell when he is going to do this is by his eyes glowing red so simply dodge then continue your attack. Attack, Evade, Repeat.

    vSullyThere are two NPC summons available for this boss. I'm not sure what the requirements are for them to be there, but they've been there for me and my last two play
    playthroughs. They may very well have no requirements.

    The first one is on a platform right as you enter the large area that leads to the boss. The second one, the katana guy from the left side of Firelake shrine, is available right in front of the boss door.

    MrPiercefaceI noticed also sometimes he'll do a frost breath type attack and if you hit him even from behind while he's doing it, you'll immediately get frostbite, unless I assume you have some sort of resistance gear.

    I got my Endurance up to 20 and used the Lothric Knight's Shield in this fight, just enough to withstand Vordt's charge attack in the second phase without having my guard broken.

    WarningRabbit95Really late to getting around to this game, just thought I’d report that I beat this boss last night & no achievement. I’ve been playing today for a bit & still no achievement, strangely though I got the achievement for beating the rotted greatwood.
