Elden Ring - Godfrey, the First Elden Lord Boss Fight

[@BlastGamer77]

You gotta love how most FromSoft bosses are either too insane to say anything meaningful or call you a monster if you kill them, meanwhile this chad just goes "Shit you're actually pretty good, go get that crown champ"

No because he is here to test you in the first place, whether you are good enough to become an elden lord

He is not the only one tho. Malenia also praises your skill, and morgott kind of does reluctantly.

[@kacperernest3474]

@@boid9761 why isshin is a different case? Isshin is a lord, a living legend , legendary sword man even called sword saint and we fight him at his prime while he also have access to different weapons and techniques such as spear, gun and lighting. Not only sword. Plus he even got a buff because he was immortal. He has given his all. Everything he got. Plus he also has badass and honorable death. He is badass from the begining to The very end.

[@boid9761]

​ Isshin represented everything good with Dex. I call him the Peak of Dexterity the same way Hourah Loux is Peak Strength. What makes Isshin different is that he's pulled out of the afterlife while Godfrey still lives.

[@assman7218]

@@boid9761 I can't see how he is different from Isshin and Malenia. You wrote this was the first time From Software answered the call of fighting a boss at their prime, never that they needed to be alive, being non optional and a strength build. Even if Malenia is an optional boss she still reaches her peak when fighting with you, becoming the second goddess and one of the most difficult boss battles you can have in Elden Ring. Isshin may have died but you're able to fight against a living legend, the most powerful swordsman in Sekiro. I also forgot Owl (father) at Hirata Estate. He is stated to be in his prime if you visit his memory and is far more dangerous than his previous boss fight.

[@theinquisition305]

Godfrey is probably one of the few bosses in the game (other than Tree Sentinel off the top of my head, lol) who still has an air of earned nobility around him. It's typical FromSoftware to shroud bosses in tragedy, qua Radahn, but Godfrey really feels like a Lord, and he at least in the fight seems like he's almost still clinging to how things were before the start of the game. Other bosses seem ragged, old, and broken. It really throws me for a loop, and it's awesome.

[@dsiiic_2840]

He was a bit disconnected with the goings on in the Lands Between. When he left, things we're fine. Godwyn soul hadn't been obliterated, Malenia wasn't even a thought in anyone's mind, and World War Elden Ring hadn't ruined the land.

[@Eldergloom]

Once I learned his moveset, this became the most fun boss fight in the game for me. Jumping over his ground slams is satisfying.

[@Ymirec]

In unpatched, this man has 2, that's right, TWO health bars that boast around 25,000 hp each. So you basically have to take his health bar all to way down and THEN fight him as Horah Loux with max health again.

[@claytopolis]

While the grace you see in the cutscene pointing to the player could be interpreted as the greater will trying to direct Godfrey to stop you, i think it has another meaning. Godfrey had killed every worthy opponent in the lands between. Thats why he took all the tarnished to other lands to wage war, so he could find more worthy opponents. But now the lands between has one last worthy foe for him, you. Thats why he waits until the very last place he could find you before you finish off radagon. He knows this is when you'll be at your strongest. And when you beat him, he congratulates you. Saying you are worthy of becoming elden lord for defeating someone as strong as him.

[@Nasazuki]

U can see that he holds morgott in his arms and he turns into this "particles" (?) But yes it looks exactly like that guiding grace... Maybe it's morgotts last wish for his father to stop us? Like his own guidance? I mean the game tells us that Godfrey lost his guiding grace because Marika took that from him.
