Godrick the Grafted Boss Fight Strategy Guide

Godrick the Grafted is the first of the Shardbearer Demigods yous will confront in Elden Ring. He is distinguished past his twisted torso which is made up of his servants limbs that he has grafted onto his own broken body. Like to the Grafted Scion, many of Godrick'southward attacks are multi-function and multi-striking and he has some erratic movements that might grab you off guard. At half health he will graft a dragon caput onto his arm that opens upwardly some new attacks and modifies others with burn impairment, and then be careful if your shield does not have high burn down resist.

In general yous tin can stick relatively close to Godrick if you lot are a melee attacker. His axe sweeps seem to have the biggest hitbox at the ends, so if you dodge whorl toward Godrick you will generally avoid them and end upwards in a good spot to punish. Just call up that most of these are philharmonic attacks, so be sure you manage your stamina and look for the final attack if you plan to guard counter. If you lot are really unsure yous can stay further out of range and wait for one of his deadening overhead slam attacks which are piece of cake to punish.
Another easy to run across movement is his aeriform slam, which he telegraphs past grabbing the head of his axe with his off hand and leaping into the air. Dodge as he comes down then become in a two-iv hit combo while he is standing back up.
Another punishable move is his rolling slam. He will whip up the air around himself and then roll on the basis before leaping upward into the air and slamming into the footing. Walk toward him while he is in the air and he volition canvas right over yous, letting y'all make it some back slashes while he is recovering.
With Nepheli'southward aid you can stagger Godrick and get a critical attack in. Let her become his focus, then get in a bunch of side and back strikes while he is trying to strike her. But pay close attention to his movements because he can change focus back to you in an instant.
With his dragon hand on there are but a few more moves to pay attending to. The nigh dangerous is probably the dragon breath which has a large surface area of effect and tin hit multiple times. He telegraphs this one by raising the dragon head into the air every bit its rima oris starts to leak flames. Try to move to the side or back to avoid the brunt of the boom.
The other is the peppery rock assail which he telegraphs past dragging the dragon head across the ground in a circle before diggings fiery rocks into the air. You tin run toward him and let the rocks sail over your head, or simply run abroad and heal up while the rocks fire out on the basis.
