General tips
Mage build - how to fight?
Godrick is a very agile and fast boss for his size.
Therefore, your projectiles should be used when the boss is standing still or has finished rolling sideways.
After entering the arena, it is worth summoning reinforcements that will help you in combat.
Unfortunately, apack of wolvesordemi-humansis not necessarily a good choice here, as Godrick has many area attacks.
If you stand farther, he will create gusts of wind that will deal a lot of damage.
This attack deals more damage, but is much easier to dodge.
Also, watch out for an attack signalized by Godrick dragging his weapon on the ground.
After a while, he will attack with a straight strike.
There are many ways to avoid this attack.
If you are keeping a long distance, go back.
If the boss is close to you, shorten the distance and run behind the his back.
The boss will not attack immediately when this animation starts.
Remember to use spells whenever you canto lower Godrick’s health bar as quickly as possible.
After kneeling down and cutting off one of his hands, you will watch a cut-scene.
After that, you will start the second phase of the fight.
Go backwards - Godrick always starts this phase by breathing fire.
Most of his attacks will be similar, but he strengthens them with fire.
It will be a good idea to equip a medallion for this phasethat significantly reduces fire damage.
It’s also good to have a melee weapon that inflicts bleeding.
However, watch out for this way of fighting.
Since you are a mage, you won’t necessarily have a lot of health and stamina.
Melee build - how to fight?
You start the fight quite far away from him.
This is a good opportunity to throw a few daggers.
The stairs here are a good spot to fight.
Strongjump attackscan be useful, but they require the right moment to use.
When the distance between you and Godrick is short, he will often surround himself with “tornadoes”.
This attack is signaled byhim swinging the ax above his head.
The first two tornadoes are relatively weak, but the third one can deal a lot of damage.
Therefore, when you see that he is starting to do this move, get away from him.
It is safest to move away when he starts to raise his axes above his head.
However, you will lose the opportunity to attack after performing two successful dodges.
If you gotta heal yourself, move away to at least a medium distance.
If Godrick starts screaming with great pain, the fight is moving intoits second phase.
A cut-scene will start.
After that, run back to the place where you walked through the fog.
Keep your distance - when Godrick breathes fire, the surroundings won’t protect you from it.
If you keep an average distance, you should be safe.
Otherwise, start circling him to get behind Godrick’s back.
