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.

You can make your character buff as well, use Godfrey's Axe and his set. I wish his crown would have the beard, though.

[@theobell2002]

@@bigb0ss583 The player character's height in previous Souls games has traditionally been 5'7 and it might be the same for Elden Ring. There's a reason why FromSoft does this. Zullie the Witch made a pretty good video about this topic. I'd recommend you watch it.

[@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.

[@geekandfreak1558]

00:33 What I love of the cutscene is that his grace is pointing directly at us. We are as much of a boss to him as he is to us. In this battle between The first and the last tarnish, Whoever wins advances to the throne.

[@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.

[@jakedge3]

"When grandpa started throwing hands, that's when we all realized he wasn't full of shit. grandpa was trying to warn us, he was hardcore. he could've fucking killed god if he wanted. in fact god specifically made him a lord because he was terrified of what might happen if grandpa ever got mad. All this time we thought grandpa was just some goofy old man with dreams of a bygone era, but no, grandpa was being NICE! he was being generous and sparing our lives. the moment that old fuck started throwing hands, we realized we never wanted to throw hands back. entire nations trembled before that old bastard's raw unadulterated power. this dude could eat lions for breakfast!!

[@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.

"finally killed Godfrey!" -Hoarah Loux unlocked: *These Hands*

[@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.
