Elden Ring is a masterpiece and the last thing you want is an early boss ruining your experience. So here’s how to beat Godrick the Grafted – the first major boss most players will come up against.
Elden Ring is full of memorable boss battles and coming out on top is no easy task. Godrick the Grafted is the first ‘shardbearer’ most players are likely to encounter and, as one might expect, his numerous horrific limbs are capable of laying down some serious smackdown.
Many Tarnished will die many, many times against the ‘spider’, but that’s no reason to get down on yourself and give up; Elden Ring has been designed to be a challenge. However, to help out those that are struggling we’ve create a how to beat Godrick the Grafted strategy guide.
For this how to beat Godrick the Grafted guide I will be focusing on a melee build that doesn’t require too much skill to still do great with. There are many ways to play Elden Ring, but my personal favourite is to grab a heavy weapon and wade into the thick of the action.
FromSoftware melee combat it legendary, and while the magic system in Elden Ring is lots of fun, I still feel that the thrill of swinging a sword is untouchable. I wore the Vagabond armor set, used the Lordsworn Greasword, and focused on levelling up strength and vigor (health).
Godrick the Grafted is a heavy hitter so you will want to do your best to avoid his powerful attacks. Rolling and jump is critical in Elden Ring, but the Lone Wolf Ashes summon can also be useful at the start of the fight.
Essentially, your wolves will keep him busy for a short while – allowing you to work on your spacing and get a few cheap hits into him from behind. If you know what’s good for you try and make these attacks two-handed jumping heavy strikes (R2).
Jumping attacks do extra damage to an enemy’s poise in Elden Ring, meaning that if you keep hitting them they will become staggered. The benefit to this is massive; it will disrupt their current attack and leave them open to a critical strike.
Once you’ve taken Godrick to below half his health pool it will trigger the boss’s second phase. In a move that is pure Elden Ring, he grafts a death dragon’s head to his arm and starts alternating between blasting fire and trying to munch you.
Don’t panic, this second phase is in many ways easier than the first. Remember to roll or jump through the flame, or if possible sprint out of its trajectory (which will leave you right next to him and him exposed to some punishment).
So good luck fellow Tarnished! And if you need further info check out the full guide here: https://happymag.tv/elden-ring-how-to-beat-godrick/
