Godrick the Grafted Stormveil Castle Boss

Description

There are two phases in this boss fight, with the second phase being triggered at around half health - you’ll even get to watch a cutscene to mark the change in phase. During the first phase, Godrick will use his two axes. The best way to get in some easy damage is to wait for him to exhaust himself slightly, either via his crazy roll moves or when he’s tired himself out from lots of heavy axe swings. It is recommended that you save your summonning bell for the second phase - you’ll benefit more from being able to distract him with spirits in the second phase!

After the cutscene marking the second phase, be prepared for the fun/pain to begin! He now has even more attacks to use in addition to his first set, which may take a few tries to get used to. The good thing is that his defensive stats don’t change so he’ll take the same amount of damage as he did in the first phase - yay!

Now is the time to summon your Spirits using the summoning bell! The Skeletal Militiamen, obtained from defeating Tibia Mariner are great for prolonged distraction. They’re weak and will get one-shot but since they can get resurrected over and over, they’ll be useful in keeping Godrick’s attacks away from you. During this short period of time you’ll be able to get a bunch of free damage in. Just be careful to not be in the way of any big fire attacks - the fire breath meteors are pretty brutal for knocking you over and the area of impact is large so be sure to roll out of the way if needed.
