How to get Ordovis's Vortex in Elden Ring
- Default skill for the Ordovis's Greatsword.
Elden Ring Ordovis's Vortex Guide
- This is a Unique Skill
- FP Cost: 15
- This Skill is Chargeable
- This Skill cannot be Parried
- This Skill can be Parried if performed with no Focus
- Damage type is Physical Damage and Holy Damage, though mostly Physical
- Deals 19 stance damage when uncharged, and 66 stance damage when fully charged.
- Damage scales with weapon upgrade level, Strength and Faith (and Dexterity to a lesser extent)
- The Vortex is slow, meaning you'll need either proper timing or high poise to pull off a full charge. It has an AOE so can take out multiple enemies, and when you slam it into the ground it has a ripple effect depending on how much Vortex was charged. These ripples each due rapid damage that quickly stacks up, and they cause enemies to stagger on each one. If you're quick with a heavy follow up, you can cause a stance break.
Note: This Skill was changed with Patch 1.07 as follows:
- Attack power, motion speed and poise damage have been increased.
- Poise during casting has been increased.
- Delay between the end of various actions (like using items or attack animations) and being able to perform the skill has been reduced.

Amazing sword. Hits like a truck and has disgusting amounts of hyperarmor. Really good.
Pair it with golden vow, howl of shabriri, sacred scorpion charm, warrior jar shard and godfrey icon.
Exchange golden vow with last rhites from the golden epitaph sword if you are fighting undead for 100% extra damage to undead enemies and witness some spectacular damage numbers.

I don't understand why the entire armor set doesn't enhance this skill and the Siluri tree. After all, these are the basic skills of the crucible knights and we don't get anything for it

Can it be paired with rotten winged sword talisman? Does this count as multi-hit?

66? Sixty-f*cken-six stance damage!?!?!?

Is this the only Holy weapon skill that gets a boost from Godfrey's Icon?

The damage of the skill does seem to get buffed by the Crucible Knight armor pieces.

after using this weapon I feel like it deals more then 30 stance damage. It could be 30 per shockwave, but I don't know.

It's the best skill in the game for both PvE and PvP and nothing can change my mind

Just got really annoyed that my usual Executioner's Greataxe with Prayerful Strike and the R2 kept missing Malenia because she dodged to the side, so I switched to Ordovis' Greatsword and the weapon Art hurts a lot. Used the Rotten Sword Insignia, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.
You can wait for Malenia to slowly approach you and charge up the weapon art and by the time it's fully charged, she'll either get hit by all the individual strikes or she'll try to dodge and still get hit by a couple of them.,
During Phase 2, I opened up with a frost potion (to increase her damage taken) and had enough time to charge up a full weapon art before she finished her transition.

I found this to be a great punishment in the second phase of the Malenia fight, when she just won't stop chasing after you.

the stagger on this fully charged is actually absurd, usually stun a boss in 1 or 2 hits. i love this weapon art

A fully charged use of this with all shockwaves connecting will do 82 poise damage.

Charging doesn't just increase the power, it adds shockwaves; uncharged only has one, but fully charged has 3 in very rapid succession. It's very effective and stance breaking.

Bruh this buff was VERY generous for this Greatsword. It’s one of my new favorite weapons/AoWs. This with the shard of Alexander can take chunks out of the side bosses health bar

I've found that using this during critical hit windows deals more damage than a crit would. Especially useful on large enemies. Better for style points than anything else though!

Upsettlingly terrible. The wind up alone will clue anyone in to just casually stand a good 2 feet back. Nice way to get stabbed to death.

looks super flashy but with my faith build normal swinging and using crucible incantations does more damage
Charged Ordovis' Vortex does 66 stance damage. 66+19.8(30% Stonebarb Cracked tear)+13.2(20% Stormhawk Deenh) = 99 Stance damage in a single attack. Obviously ridiculous but I'm annoyed it's not 100
