PierceGodrick the Grafted, also known as Godrick the Golden, is a Demigod Boss in Elden Ring. This Elden Ring Godrick the Grafted Guide features boss locations, tips, strategies and videos on how to defeat Godrick easily, as well as boss stats and lore for Godrick. Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Shardbearers drop their own unique Great Rune and Remembrance capable of being transformed into powerful Weapons, Spells, Ashes of War, and Talismans for the player.
Godrick the Grafted is the ruler of Stormveil Castle, and is one of the first demigods and shardbearers that players can fight. He is a descendant of Godfrey and thus born of the golden lineage, but Gideon and Kenneth Haight believe him to be weak and unworthy to rule. Much of Godrick's power comes from the arms and legs of soldiers he's grafted onto himself, and especially the dragon head grafted onto his left arm during the second phase of his fight. His knights and soldiers wear armor that bears emblems of the golden lineage: a two-headed war-axe and the beast regent, Serosh.
Godrick is an optional boss, and doesn't need to be defeated in order to advance in Elden Ring. You can advance to Liurnia of the Lakes without defeating him by following the path north from Stormhill Shack, then dropping down to the west from the broken bridge and walking along the outside of the castle. However, Godrick is a shardbearer, and two of the five available shardbearers must be defeated before entering Leyndell, Royal Capital.
I command thee, kneel!
I am the lord of all that is golden!

Negations (or Absorptions)
Magic
LightningThe negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances
Poison: 318 / 416 / 706 / 1163
Scarlet Rot: 318 / 416 / 706 / 1163
Hemorrhage: 318 / 416 / 706 / 1163
Frostbite: 318 / 416 / 706 / 1163
The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of the given buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs. The values after the "/"s indicate the increased resistances after each successive proc.

Godrick the Grafted Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Godrick the Grafted:
- Be mindful of his combo attacks, and don't run in unless you see a clear opening
- Use the arena to your advantage: there are many trees, pillars, and rocks that can help keep Godrick off your back. Just be careful to always return to the open center so you don't get cornered yourself.
- Godrick is weaker to physical damage than elemental damage. Rock Sling is a good option for Intelligence builds, while Faith builds can use Bestial Sling
- When using fist-type weapon, aim for sides of Godrick or perform jump attacks, as hitbox may not connect if hits are for the front.
- Rotten Stray ashes are very good against him, as the Scarlet Rot that the dog inflicts is boosted over other rot sources such as Rotten Breath.
Melee Users
Bide Your Time: The safest (but slowest) strategy for Godrick is to stay outside the range of his weaponry as much as possible, and only try to get in damage when he does one of his many punishable attacks. Stormcaller is best for this: when he starts spinning up a cyclone, get close enough to tempt him into a Storm Assault, then run behind him and get in a few hits until he recovers. Axe Lunge, Jumping Slam, and the fifth attack in Fury Swings also have long recovery times that you can punish. Once you get to phase 2, you'll also be able to punish all of his fire-breathing attacks as long as you stay close enough to get to his side before you get roasted. This strategy is particularly good for heavy weapons, which can use jump attacks or charged heavy attacks to build up Stance damage and get in critical hits.
Stick Close: A riskier but quicker strategy is to stay right up next to him. This will limit how many different attacks he does, but also means you'll need to learn the precise timings to dodge or block the remainder. But once you learn those timings, you can get in hits during the frequent delays while he's winding up attacks, as well as jump attacks when he uses Lesser Command in phase 1 and I Command Thee, Kneel! in phase 2. This strategy is particularly good for weapons that inflict status effects, since it'll let you get in more frequent quick attacks.
Magic and Ranged Users
Distraction: Summons are very useful to distract Godrick, but he hits hard so it's important to choose a summon that can survive his assault. Spirit Jellyfish Ashes is a good option due to its high defense and immunity to shockwaves. While your summons keep Godrick from rushing you down, you can attack him from afar. Once he notices you, keep backing off until your summons catch his attention again.
Circle and Strafe: Keep moving as much as you can. Try to stay towards his sides and back, out of his line of sight, and start casting or firing as he's finishing his attacks so that you can start moving again once he's back in action. Remember that running is often quicker and more stamina-efficient than rolling when evading his attacks with long windups that cover a lot of area.
Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Description | Counter |
| Axe Swing | Swings his axe in various directions. There's sometimes a long delay between when he raises his axe and when he actually swings it | Roll out of the way or block with a shield. Because of the frequent delays, try to only start rolling when you see the axe begin to move towards you. If you learn which attacks have a long delay, you can get in a cheeky hit before he swings |
| Arm Swing | Swings his left arm in various directions. In phase 2, his arm will have a dragon head, giving it substantially more reach and damage | Roll out of the way or block with a shield |
| Axe Lunge | Pulls his axe back, then thrusts it a long way forward into the ground | Roll to the side when you see his feet leave the ground |
| Roll | Rolls to the side and immediately readies another attack. The roll itself doesn't do any damage, but it will allow Godrick to quickly reposition himself | Move away from the direction of the roll to avoid getting caught by the follow-up |
| Dragging Slash | Drags his axe along the ground to his right, creating sparks, then slashes it forward | Roll to his left when you see the dragging start to avoid getting hit by the slash |
| Jumping Slam | Holds his axe sideways with both hands, then jumps into the air and slams down to the ground | Move away when you see him grab the axe, or roll when you see him begin to fall |
| Lesser Command | Raises his axe with the head pointing down, slams it into the ground creating a large shockwave, then pushes it down again after a brief delay creating another shockwave | The easiest option is to run away when you see him raising his axe to begin this move. However, if you start jumping when you see the axe start falling and again when you see his shoulders rise, you can get in some extra damage with jump attacks |
| Fury Swings | Holds his axe in front of his face, draws it back, then swings it five times: first counterclockwise, then quickly clockwise, then counterclockwise upwards, then twice downwards | Either run away during the windup, or dodge each swing and use the long delays after the last four to hit him in between. If you do the latter, make sure to count the swings so you know when they'll be fast and when they'll be slow |
| Stormcaller | Swings his axe around in circles, surrounding himself with a cyclone that reflects projectiles and knocks back the player. This attack and its followups are imbued with flame during phase 2 |
Back away as soon as you see his axe start to lift and prepare for the follow-up move. Don't use projectiles during this attack, since they'll just bounce off. |
| Storm Assault | Rolls once to the sides before leaping into the air and swinging his axe counterclockwise as he descends. | Run behind him while he's in the air and get in a few hits while he swings and recovers |
| Storm Blade | Digs his axe into the ground, then pulls it out shooting out blasts of wind that curve towards your position. | Wait for the attack to turn, then move in the opposite direction to make sure it doesn't hit you |
| Sever Arm | Once Godrick hits 60% health or less, he'll chop off his own arm, initiating a cutscene. You can get hurt if you're near him. He'll gain increased defense during this. | Despite the damage reduction, this attack is a safe opportunity to get in some extra hits, as long as you stay away from his arm. Take this opportunity to build up statuses like Bleed. |
| Phase 2 | ||
| Sweeping Flame | His dragon arm breathes a long stream of fire, sweeping the area in front of him. He will always use this attack in the beginning of Phase 2. | The fire has very long range, but his back and sides are completely unprotected during this attack. Run up beside him and get in some hits. If you have to dodge through the stream of fire, do so as close to the mouth of the dragon as possible so the stream is at its narrowest |
| Striding Flame | His dragon arm breathes fire in a straight line as he walks forward. | Run to his sides and get in a few hits, but be aware that the flame can sometimes persist behind him as he walks |
| Grab | His dragon head opens its mouth and then lunges at you after a brief delay. If it connects, he'll grab you, then slam you on the ground while breathing fire. | Roll forward or to the left when you hear the dragon roar, or when you see its head opening its mouth. |
| I Command Thee, Kneel! | Raises the axe with its head pointing down, then slams it into the ground twice in quick succession creating small shockwaves, then once more after a second's pause creating a much larger shockwave | As for Lesser Command, running away is the easiest strategy. It's risky to go for jump attacks the first two hits because they're so quick, but you can jump the third one as his foot touches the ground and the axes begin to descend |
| Bear Witness! | Plunges his dragon arm into the ground, drags it in a circle around him, then thrusts it upwards, raining fire in front of him | Run behind him while he's twirling around, but be careful of getting too close since the dragon head will hurt if it hits you |
Elden Ring Godrick the Grafted Lore, Notes & Other Trivia
- Voice Actor: Ramon Tikaram
- Soundtrack: Godrick the Grafted
- Godrick is a descendent of Godfrey, and thus a member of the Golden Lineage. He is possibly the son of Godwyn, due to his heritage and the fact that Mohg and Morgott were Omen.
- Enia describes Godrick as the weakest of the demigods, which is alluded to when he was driven from the capital and was defeated by Stance damage when he's at 60% health or below, so you can also prevent it by exclusively using spells like Poison Mist that reduce HP without affecting Stance.
- Cut content suggested that Gostoc is the son of Godrick, and was thus an elligible ruler of Stormveil and Limgrave. Another had Godrick reciting a speech about his forces returning to their home, bathed in rays of gold.
- Game-wise, this boss is treated as 1 encounter instead of 2 as it is more common in case of bosses where phases are separated by cutscene
- Also, phase transition seems to not reset Poison and Scarlet Rot if it is inflicted
Dialogue
Introduction:
Mighty Dragon, thou'rt a trueborn heir.
Lend me thy strength, o kindred.
Deliver me unto greater heights.
...Well.
A lowly Tarnished,
playing as a lord.
I command thee, kneel!
I am the lord of all that is golden!
During Fight (Phase 1):
Defeating player:
Lowly Tarnished... Thou'rt unfit even to graft...
Second Phase Transition:
Ahh, truest of dragons.
Lend me thy strength…
Nnngh!
Forefathers, one and all…
Bear witness!
During Fight (Phase 2):
Defeating player:
Great Godfrey, did'st thou witness?
After Fight:
...I am Lord of all that is Golden....
...And one day, we'll return together...
...To our home, bathed in rays of gold...

Image Gallery for Godrick the Grafted in Elden Ring
AnonymousI am convinced that the game's overtly explicit text about Godrick being this pitiful, washed-up, not even has-been but rather never-was, never-could-be, is all just misdirection. He's Miyazaki's favorite boss for a reason, and there is more than meets the eye with him, I'm sure.
My first time seeing his fight was in the network test when we all had virtually zero idea about anything in Elden Ring, lore or otherwise. His opening speech: "Mighty Dragon, thou'rt a trueborn heir. Lend me thy strength, o kindred." Sounds like extremely generic fantasy bad-guy drivel, and GRRM being attached to the project stood out in the public eye, so that's where most minds went. This guy sucks, and dragons are awesome, so he says some reverent Olde Englishe nonsense as he haphazardly takes the dragon's power for himself. But let's really put it under a microscope now that we know more about the Lands Between.
Godrick is a distant son of Godfrey, a scion of the Golden Lineage, the blood of the First Elden Lord. Or so we are told. But we also discover much, much later in the game that before Godfrey and the Erdtree, the throne of Elden Lord existed, and it belonged to Placidusax - an ancient dragon. Godrick calls the dragon a "trueborn heir", and "kindred". Perhaps he recognizes that the Golden Lineage's claim is fraudulent and, rather than chase the power of his Tarnished human ancestor, sought the strength of the true Elden Lord.
Stormveil Castle is also more significant than it appears. While early-game areas giving us little glimpses of the bigger picture is hardly unusual for From Software, the implications of certain things in Stormveil are too significant to ignore. It draws many parallels to Farum Azula - seat of Placidusax and the Storm Beyond Time, sealing place of Destined Death and smothered by Godwyn's twisted nettles, home of the infamous Godskin Duo fight. Godwyn's corpse reaches the surface in Stormveil, and you auspiciously find the Godskin Prayerbook and Godslayer Seal. So, perhaps again signifying Godrick's doubt of his own bloodline, he sought a power greater than - capable of killing - Marika, the god from which it comes. Grafting could be a pale imitation of the Godskin's inhuman biology; Godrick uses his limbs to greatly extend his reach like an Apostle, and rolls like a Noble. He also wasn't the first to do it, as we can see his father Godefroy is grafted as well. Point is, Godrick may be more scholarly than he first seems, and while we caught him at a bad time, may have actually been on the path to surpass the Golden Lineage. Sure it was cowardly to submit to Malenia, but pride and prudence are often at odds with each other.

Love his lore. All the other rune-bearers have contempt for him because he still acts and thinks like a human warlord: concerned about his lands and powerbase, scheming and drawing mortals into his service wherever he can, instead of being wrapped up in cosmic struggles beyond mortal comprehension. He has that mentality because he's the third son of a third son, it makes him simultaneously more relatable and pitiful.

Something interesting that may apply to all bosses in the game, is that he wont ever go to phase 2 if you dont attack him directly after his hp goes around 50%, if you kill him this way, the dragon will remain complete in his arena after you beat him (just tried it by using rot dog + poison mist and just stared at him while he died)

think about it with me, godrick managed to graft a dragon to himself, so, if we didnt show up to beat him, this means he could be able to graft progressively more powerful beings, to my understanding, Godrick had the most potential out of all demigods, imagine if he was able to put his hands on a true ancient dragon or another demigod like Rykard or even Radahn if there is any way to remove or at least cease the scarlet rot...

Victim of the worst character assassination in the Lands Between. Ask yourself this, do his actions that we see with our own eyes match his reputation as a coward? No, he stands his ground and fights you 1v1 until the bitter end, he doesn't run, beg for mercy or hide behind henchmen. What's more cowardly, going out to fight Melania or just letting her trespass without confronting her army? What did Godrick do?
Who tells us he's a coward? A known liar and one with a personal grudge against Godrick since he evicted him from his fort! Kenneth claims he's the rightful ruler of Limgrave yet he isn't and claims he'll grant us a knighthood yet knows he doesn't have the authority. Liar! Even the pillar claiming he begged for mercy is suspect as these are clearly written by someone with a pro Melania bias, the one in Lurnia has a blessing for her!
So his reputation says he's a coward but all his actions say otherwise. Yes the grafting is gross but any more so than what Rykard or Mohg did to themselves? Or Melania herself? Or Redahn?

Interesting that although he is most definitely not the direct offspring of Marika/Radagon (evidenced by dialogue from Kenneth Haight), He is still considered a demigod, implying that children of demigods are considered demigods themselves.
If Rya is the genuine daughter of Rykard then she can potentially be considered a demigod herself, and due to Rya being the child of a first generation demigod and Godrick being described as very distant to his ancestor, Godfrey, it can be concluded that Rya could beat the **** out of an un-grafted Godrick, though him being an old man probably wouldn’t help either.

Most underrated boss imo, and don't forget that he isn't technically a true demigod since he is a distant descendant of the golden lineage, him actually managing to hold his position as the ruler of stormveil castle and limgrave proves he is only viewed as a joke when compared to the real demigods on his own right he should be more powerful than most of the creatures in the lands between

Am I the only one that thought Margit was more difficult than Godrick? I mean Godrick is easy in phase 1 and in phase 2 the only real challenge is avoiding the dragon. I can barely heal against Margit because the arena is so small and he input reads flask usage.

I think that Godrick is based off of a Chinese (atleast I think it is chinese) myth about a ruler who collected the emblems and crests of kingdoms he defeated and put them on (or so to speak GRAFTED them on) his emblem, and eventually it turned into a dragon. He might be based on that or maybe I'm crazy /:

I saw so many people complain about Stormcaller when the game came out, still don't understand what's wrong with it. Yeah, attacks like it or Godskin Noble doing Noble Presence aren't reactable, but they also deal next to no damage. They're basically there so you don't burrow into their side an abuse these boss's massive size. What's wrong with that? You taking a little damage as they push you back? Some people act like they gotta no-hit run everything.

Extra advice for this boss. The projectiles of his storm blade attack if the wall is to your back or if theirs a tombstone behind you, sometimes his attack, after you dodge, will do a complete 180 U turn and come right back in the exact same direction from off screen. Complete bs I know, but it doesnt always happen.

Is that DS3 King of the Storm he grafts? Random crap keeps me wondering if this game is supposed to happen before or after the Souls series, and if something like the Dung Eater ending isn’t a precursor to Bloodborne. Old Hunters DLC starts off with that same line Dung Eater says about cursing their children etc. when you get grabbed by that invisible Amygdala.

First playthrough was my first souls experience and I did 250 hours and leveled to 183 blind to special scaling techniques making me a strength/dex/faith melee player that was a Jack of all trades master of none. But I loved it.
I felt bad beating the game bc I went the mimic +10 route and just started shredding everything. It just didn’t feel satisfying to win after the Fire Giant.
I decided to play again fresh because I found basically everything the first playthrough. Only this time I decided I wouldn’t summon…except to summon the npcs. Well I had level to 40 and decided to be a mage and just smoked him first try. I gotta start summoning. It just sucks when you win and it’s not challenging.
A boss mode would be super sweet. Or a respec/boss fight mode at a Coliseum…
This guy needs a very big heart to pump all that blood and still, hes very pale. I would like to know how much control he really has over his weird chimera body. Who made his armor and, more importantly, why isnt it available to the player?

Nothing info of him in Eternal Goal near Atlus Plateau Lift?

Do they drop less ruins for the host of co cop ? Compared to if they were to beat him alone ?

is godrick's poise lowered at the start of phase 2? it always takes 1 or 2 charged attacks to break his poise at the start of 2nd phase but in 1st phase I can barely stance break him (ng+7)
There were many demigods who died during both the wars before The Lands Between were united and during the Shattering. Godfrey also had children before and perhaps after he was Elden Lord, but I'm not sure those children would have been demigods. Anyway, because there were many demigods and because Godrick is stated to be a distant relation to the rest of them, and because he was preceded by Godefroy the Grafted, he cannot be a son of Godwyn. He could of course still be a descendant.

If Godrick just knew about the Godskin Prayerbook in his castle, with blackflame, he could’ve went from the weakest demigod to one of the most powerful beings in the Lands Between. Shame.

I feel like this is a message from the creators to remind us what this game originates from(soft)

I love the flavor of the arguably weakest demigod having the strongest rune, the centerpiece of the Elden Ring.

Dude was born a faith user but went for a strength build instead. If only he knew how strong ranni and miquella really are I don't think he would care about being physically weak

Does he take extra damage from Dragonwound Grease in the second phase?

Spent whole evenings on this guy the first time I played. NG+ and I smashed him first go without even using a flask. He seemed horrific the first time round, what a difference time makes.

The presence of the godslayer prayerbook and godrick's grafting of the dragon head onto his arm really makes me wanna see godrick with a blackflame spewing dragon head arm

I really wish they would have done more with the whole grafting theme in general in the game.

We need more appreciation for Godrick’ me voice actor the way he says “BEAR WITNESS!” While doing such a badass move

He's manageable. Not easy for a player completely new to the Soulsborne franchise like me, but he's relatively easy to learn after observing and a bit of trial and error.
Hate his axe attack though, the one where he lifts it up and just stares at you, only choosing to drop it when you least expect it. Had the most trouble with that.

While technically he is really nice and cool early-game major boss, but as a character this guy has a personality of 6 y.o. kid. Kinda ruins the overall impression.

Has one of the best boss themes in all of Elden Ring, hands down. It's terrifying, frantic, and jumbled apart, much like Godrick himself. It perfectly encapsulates this fight, and sometimes even syncs up with his actions, the most prime example being the choir at the start of the second phase. The lyrics (spoken in basic Latin) are a good insight to his character, and it's sung with perfect chords and pitches to show that, while he may be "weak" to others, he's still a massive threat to us.
10/10, best boss design ever made by Fromsoft.

What’s his relation to the Golden Lineage? Is he Goldwyn’s son? M

I just defeated Godrick but didn't receive the great rune and can't open the tower of limgrave. Do I have to replay?

If you want to skip his second phase to keep the dragon's head in te arena, use the Poison Mist incantation and rot him via Rotten Stray(despawn the dog to not trigger his phase transition), apply poison and wait. Somehow he still uses second phase attacks like the triple I Command Thee Kneel.

I love his hearty gleeful laughter as he does the earthquake move and when he roasts you with his dragon arm, man's having the time of his life with his dragon head.

Did they really just lazily rehash Godefroy as a main story boss? Good god the other bosses being reused didn't bother me much, but this is just ridiculous.
his middle name is 'the'
rip Godrick T Grafted, the worst name ever made

FOREFATHERS ONE AND ALL, BEAR WITNESS!! (HAA HEE *music*) easily one of the best (if not the best) voice acting in all fromsoft games. boy do I miss this crazy son of a *****.
What does he even do with all the arms? He only has one axe? He just kinda rolls around on them. He could've been an even deadlier grafted scion, but he's too dumb I guess.
