How To Beat Godrick The Grafted – Elden Ring Boss Guide

If you’re struggling to understand how to beat Godrick The Grafted, this Elden Ring boss guide will highlight a few strategies and the location of an NPC companion you can call to make the Stormveil Castle boss fight much more manageable.

Godrick The Grafted is the ruler of Stormveil Castle, the first legacy dungeon in Elden Ring. This mandatory boss is a demi-god whose body is clad by extremities taken from his previous victims. Godrick is incredibly agile despite his large size, capable of using his storm-calling abilities to launch into the air or whirl massive gusts of wind. During his second phase, the disgraced lord grafts a dragon head onto his arm, spewing streams of deadly fire. Godrick is a nasty foe, but the good news is he’s easier to beat than Margit The Fell Omen.

I dont know why im having an entirely different experience, I beat margit in 3 tries but Im struggling super hard on godric

One tip - when he goes into his 2nd phase, he obviously severs his arm. You'll see him stop moving before he does this. You can attack him throughout this animation, and even before the animation proper start up. You get about 5 seconds to deal as much damage as you can, virtually risk-free. On my build I was able to take off about 15% - 20% of his total health, just in this section.

The only caveat is that you need to stand behind him when you do this, as otherwise the attack he uses to sever his arm will hit you too.

Here are my solo tips:

When he does his leap attack literally just walk towards him and he'll completely miss, you can begin a charge attack just before he lands.

When he does the slams, JUMP! And land with a jumping attack for extra stagger points

When his second phase begins and he spews fire, you can run to his right to get like 3 hits in.

Hope that helps!!

What helped me was saving my wolf summons until phase 2. They made it hard for him to do his fire thing

[Nordinus]

Fire attacks in his 2nd phase were almost undodgeable imo, but if you manage to get behind him while he does that, then you can deal a lot of free damage

I am hyped to get to this fight. I am having so much fun with this game that I don't mind exploring for awhile, leveling up, getting summons, etc. It doesn't feel like a grind to me like so many other games. The setting in this game is just so much fun to explore, it's basically a fantasy post apocalypse that is terrifying and beautiful.

If you’re bad at the game like myself then try to locate the “Rotten Stray” summon and distract Godrick enough so that the stray can do the blood rot effect on him. It will do unlimited damage so just make sure the effect triggers and CHEESE IT.

[JustErics]

The most annoying attack is the flamethrower ground attack. I keep getting caught in it.

[fuentesjuanjose]

Took me a few tries but I beat him already. I actually explored and got some legendary weapons before I fought him.

[kinGsaL]

I beat Margit in my first try because I was way too over levelled by the time I fought him but my God this guy is kicking my ass. He must be significantly stronger or something

[ryanalexander]

Thanks! Dual katanas with bleed really stacks up. The distraction from the NPC was def needed, but got it on the 5th try.

[TTDecoy]

Good tip is: Use Kukoro throwing knives. I used 20 of them and it got him to 20% HP before I even had to engage in combat. Also the summoner who I called to help stayed alive the whole time.

[roboguy]

Surprisingly enough it only took me 2 tries to beat him. Even so this was a kickass boss. Hard but doable, and I felt like a badass fighting him. Plus using a freaking dragon head like that was awesome and idk why but I felt like I fought another version of Ludwig from Bloodborne.

I managed to beat Margit without much trouble, but this guy has been a pain lol. UPDATE: Godrick is down, dealing with big crayfish/lobster problems now lol

[danielrivas]

I accidentally figured out that the stomp attack can be dodge if you just jump before the axe touches the ground. Once he finish the stomp you can punish him with a couple of attacks

[austin]

For his stormcalker attack stay just out of range of his attack and he'll almost always do the rolling attack, when he does this move toward whatever direction he rolls and then when he jumps push forward right and he'll almost always miss giving you free hits.

This also works the exact same in his second phase.

[meltedworld]

best tip iv heard so far that actually worked is to roll forwards when he is doing his last attack or a 1 hit move

[emilianocastillejos]

Finished the boss while watching this video. As my first souls game Ive been loving Elden Ring

[firepenguin]

Took me forever. Thought he was harder than Margit, the timing got tricky seemed like he was everywhere every different fight. My adrenaline pumping right now.... That's 13 bosses down. By far the hardest on yo crucible knight. He looks bad ass

[jackginney]

Margit is a billion times easier than godrick
