The final fight before entering the Erdtree is a classic FromSoftware test of perfect dodging.

Only one thing stands in your way: Godfrey, the first husband of Marika and original Elden Lord.

It’s a true test of skill, but memorizing his moveset will lead you to victory.

Run away from the fissure before it erupts in a huge AOE blast.

Preparing for the fight

Fortunately, this is a fairly straightforward fight.

When Godfrey begins to slowly wind up the super stomp, get ready to jump over the shockwave.

Just throw on whatever armor gives you the highest Physical damage resistance and you’ll be good to go.

Melee builds should equip whatever weapon dishes out the most damage in the shortest amount of time.

Again, the window to attack is quite brief, so avoid anything with a long windup.

Hoarah Loux will always attempt to grab you at the start of phase two. Dodge to the side to avoid.

In addition, both Nepheli Loux and Shabriri are available as NPC summons to aid you in the fight.

Just ensure you’ve completed Nepheli’s questline and encountered theThree Fingersat the Frenzied Flame Proscription.

You’ll be best served dodge-rolling through the majority of his attacks.

Run out of range of the craters to avoid the eruption after Hoarah Loux’s Eartshaker.

Don’t get greedy with your attacks and you’ll come out victorious in no time.

With Godfrey dead, it’s time to enter the Erdtree and take onRadagonand theElden Beast.
