I didn’t even know there was a second phase and I came here to find that out and I can’t even get him close to half health and I’m lvl 257 rlly good bleed build I’m ass at this game
I eventually also beat horah and only healed like twice; not because I'm good but because It's the only way. He doesn't give you chances to heal. You barley get any openings to get a qucik hit
Yeah, the first face is actually pretty easy and basic, he repeats the same moves that are fairly easy to dodge, the second face is just annoying af, he follows you and use grab attacks which are always with a strange hit box in from soft games
the one thing that killed me was the claw attacks, you get in his range for that and you just can't escape at all no matter what. A little bit of distance from it and we golden
Its impressive to me that they managed to fit one of the most fun boss fights (1st phase) with one of the worst boss fights (2nd phase) in the game into one boss
@@iplaygames.3899 yeah but most of the attacks can almost one shot you, and he’s annoying as hell, he’s just running away from you all the time. The worst thing tho is that if you’ll fuck up u have to fight Radagon again and again it’s just so stressful and unnecessarily punishing.
His stomps when he has white smoke around him are so bs. If you need to heal during that, be ready for the run of your life, because he won’t. Stop. Stomping.
@@Chadius_Thundercock what about that slam on the ground and leaves like a pit of glowing stuff and he pulls it up and it takes 95% of your health depending on your vigor level. the disrespect is real with this boss
Game isn't that great, I built up on strength and endurance with heavy armour and +10 great shield, I have +10 mimic tear and this bullshit boss wrecks both of us. IL go back to ds3 and lords of the fallen. Fuck elden ring, its made for cheesers
2:41 it's important to note that this PARTICULAR grab apprach he performs here is of a different timing than the cross-armed, "sprint-at-you" one he did earlier in the video. (1:45) Whereas the sprinting one you want to time your roll ~1/2 second earlier than you'd think it would hit you, the timestamped one where he KICKS off the ground and you can hear the *THOOOO* as he leaps at you, you want to time THAT one ~1/2 LATE instead, as he hovers in the air for a split second. Even though I'm pretty sure they both perform the same grav, if you try to treat them as the same move approach, you're going to get booty slammed. Lol
idk i thought they were easy/ maliketh was way more annoying until i got the blasphemous shard and finished him second attempt after landing a parry lol
Your video and calmness with it all always gives me confidence with the boss battles. This one I used dragon rot and black blade summons and used your evade second phase tactic and finally beat it. Thanks again!
Super helpful! Was spending all weekend pulling my hair trying to beat him. Rolling left and running were a game changer. Finally got him by bonking with my +9 Heavy Giant Crusher and back to back stance breaks
A piece of advice I got that helps on all bosses: make 10 attempts in a row only playing defense and learning the move set. Without buffs. Like running with ankle weights - makes multiple attempts faster. It will change how you watch the fight. When you see an attack opening, just make a mental note. You’ll eventually be able to get into the next phases with ease. Hopefully frustration turns into fun. And it changes how you mentally approach a fight, only trying to defend. It’s less exhausting. Eventually you gotta dish it back out, which is when you buff up. And after 10 attempts of working on timing, you’ll feel a lot more confident. This works for all bosses. All games. Bloodhound Step helped me a lot to avoid combos.
since i'm in ng+ 11 it's pretty easy to get pass godfrey, but the moment he turns into hoarah loux, i cannot get grabbed or I get one shot, even at 60 vigor with a crimson medallion
+11 you def live alone, very alone. Aye holmes your like a counter robot to this gods attacks. How many runs does this take to master, I don't think ill live long enough to beat him without a summons. The fkn guy doesn't even use any attack buff talismans. They gotta be programming bots for youtube boss fight tutorials by now right, a robot did that for you back in 2022. I can only imagine what they got going on now.
Greatshield spirit ashes +10 and blasphemous blade +9 were the winning combination for me. The spirit ashes held their own through both phases and drew loads of aggro. I spammed the blade's L2 on him and it took him down.
For first phase i just hold up the fingerprint shield and poke him with normal partisan +24 with bloodhound step and blood affinity. Though I need to switch my game up second phase because holding a shield up doesn't work with all of his ragdoll grabs lol.
As a fellow greatshield+poking user I actually say one thing, just capitolize on the forward jump/grab and circle run for all other attacks, usually that move is anticipated by a roar, just run and wait for him to jump, surpass his bullshit grab hitbox and poke some times, then repeat the loop.
First part where he's still got clothes on becomes trivial with the stone shield... But, I still had a little issue with the Hulk Hogan phase.. Mainly the stomps, I couldn't get the timing right to dodge the ground debris most of the time. Got him eventually, but timing/positioning seems quite tricky.
trying to beat him solo in ng+ and goddamn his 2nd phase literally 1 shots me without the physical damage negation incantation and he won't even wait 2 seconds for me to use my buff
everyone saying phase 1 is easy and phase 2 hard, but I have the exact opposite experience. He destroys me in phase 1, and if I get to phase 2 I usually get him down to 5-10% but then I die because I survived the first phase with maybe a single estus left lol.
You need to tell me your trick man, the first face is actually incredibly easy, he repeats a few combos for all the 1st face that are very predictable and easy to dodge and you can recover pretty fast if you get hit since he leaves many openings, they are small but they are there, while the second face you almost have none and is almost all based on grab attacks which have always a strange hitbox and are hard to avoid, and do a shit tone of damage, so now you gotta tell me how you do it, cuz I can’t get around that second face
@@johnsaltfresh5946 first phase u have to stay close because if not he will repeatedly stomp with his aoe stomp attack until he gets close to u then when you roll away to heal u remember u should’ve stayed close because here comes more stomps
That's impressive, I'm embarrassed as I'm lvl 137 faith build and I have 2 others' helping me and I still get killed in the second stage. Just can't get away quick enough and only have a medium load. Out of the 3 of us he always seems to go for me lol!
A tip for you his big explosions(the lava like ones) can be fully blocked by a shield that has 100% physical damage negation as long as you have decent stamina and a good shield you can block it and take 0 damage
Got stuck 150 hours into my first playthrough a year ago on him using the blasphemous blade (supposedly the most broken weapon in the game, such bs). On my 2nd playthrough using the moonveil and I got him in 10 attempts, 30 hours of fighting vs. 1. The build truly matters a lot
if it helps use you're mimic and a bleed sword. The mimic takes the beating well you get bleed on him. Just note that once you attack him he'll turn on you, back of until he starts attacking your mimic again and repeat
Alright look, the main thing I found that basically carried me to victory was upg my mimic, the difference between a level 3 and a level 6 can make a world of difference. All I did the entire fight was let him lock on to my mimic and then as soon as he landed a swing I'd use the rivers of blood on him, just keep running back and forth to avoid getting hit and eventually he dies because you strategically keep your mimic seconds from getting a large hit by distracting godfred, that's all I have to say on the matter. No magic, no spells, no incantations, nothing, not even talismans. I just killed this guy with a 6+ mimic and a 10+ rivers of blood.
Here’s the thing tho, I don’t want to use a summon. That takes all the experience and satisfaction out of the fight. That being said I’m in my first playthrough and have been stuck on him for about 2-3 hours, mainly cause of the second phase. But I’ll uninstall the game before I rid myself of the satisfaction of using an op mimic spirit ash. That’s why people watch this video cause he doesn’t use any other resources, I don’t think people are looking to use any sort of summons
Tried to solo him for 5 hours, but I wasn't making much progress in second phase. He is so hard that makes Midir and Sister Fried look like tutorial bosses. I just gave up and won with Knight Oleg summon. btw, I was above lv 130, with 60 vigor, 80 dex and a keen +25 uchigatana. Yeah...
@@hitdoctor24 I wasn't aware before, but they changed this boss and I played unpatched. In my game, each phase had a full healthbar, while in the updated game, it is only one healthbar, each phase is half. That's why I was struggling, he had literally double health. But yes, 30 vigor is pretty low for late game, it is recommended that you boost that up.
@@johnsaltfresh5946 40 is good for mid-game, but 60 is the softcap, I wouldn't stop before that. But after 40 it may be a good idea to change your priority to damage stats (strenght, dex, int or faith).
People who beat him first try are literally magic users, people that find the boss fight hard are melee users I just realized, this boss fight is literally meant for magic users, just they got more advantages than melee users. More openings, he’s slow, and they can damage him immediately, while melee users are forced to go up to him, and he uses cheap moves like what the fuck.

@@johnsaltfresh5946 it’s a summon you can get that’s arguably the best in the game since it summons a clone of the player that can use estus flasks and has a ton of health
This guy is beating me up in NG+3 My ash help is weak black knife tiche and mimic tear ashes both at max 10 I don't know if u can heal your ash health but I do wanna beat the game for NG+4
Me: gets the boss down to 1 shot. The boss: time for me to pull out my 30 attack combo, comprised of delayed attack’s I’ve never done, & ones you don’t know how to dodge.
Same. I can go hitless in his first phase. It's mainly the grabs for me that are fucking me up. * came back to say, I finally beat him. Dude was pretty tough but super fun to fight.
F this guy, I’ve been stuck on him for a day now. First phase = easy peasy. But once he gets to hoarah loux my god. I’ll get a couple of hits in but he does so much damn damage if I make one small mistake
Simple guide for any boss: Pick dex, lol. This game was only tested for dex builds it seems. Str builds are like: Wait until any boss stops ninja flipping like a coward fairy for 2 minutes -> get an opening finally -> miss -> boss starts its next attack 0.1 seconds after its "opening" -> boss hits you because you're still recovering from the long ass animation -> waste all of your stamina rolling -> not enough stamina once the next opening happens -> keep waiting -> decide to trade hits and pull extremely risky moves out of frustration -> manage to hit the boss finally -> rinse and repeat. Also, the fact that after smashing Godfrey's damn face with MAXED, POWERSTANCED COLOSSAL SWORDS WITH 90 STR I NEVER got to stagger him, not even stunned him for half a second but you can do it with a super fast, light, anime weapon is the most insulting thing ever. You also procced bleed on top of all the advantages. 90% of your hits here are impossible with a str build. Wish I was exaggerating.
Strength is fucking terrible in this game. I have been using the claymore, and it is even slower in certain ways compared to ultra great swords. The recovery times are ridiculous giving no time to roll. FromSoft seems to keep screwing over strength users, and it genuinely makes me no longer want to play their games.
@@Flatgod The worst thing is that this was already an issue in Dark Souls 3 that they addressed in the second to final patch of said game when they finally reduced the recovery times for all greathammers. We'll have to wait a year until they fix this I guess. I can proudly say I beat the whole game in very hard mode, tho. Very Hard mode: Dual Wielding Colossal Greatswords (the slowest of all colossal weapons)
His second phase is so bullshit, I can almost no hit the first phase and it even seems fair but the second phase literally feels like im fighting the guardian ape from sekiro except its wayy worse than that. This boss has completely ruined my motivation for my no-summons run. (sorry for the rant)
Dropped the game because of this boss. I killed Malenia before him to avoid the lord of frenzy ending and I’m just sick of trying to kill him. I went back to DS3. Fuck this design of dying 100 times to endgame bosses to properly understand dodging windows.
After watching this I know now Kai didn't beat this game in 3 days legit. Somebody was playing for him, or From Software pre-recorded an entire play through for the DLC Promo. Kai sucks azz at all games he ever plays, he's just an entertainer. Theres noway he beat this guy in a single day, guys giveup nd do something else or take long breaks. For there mental health, especially if it was his first playthrough. You caught that right holmes, you think Kai did it himself.
@@spiderapple5839 ranged fighters and spellcasters are even more boned. If you’re used to fighting 30 feet or more away, prepare for endless ground stomp and AOE. It’s such garbage.
I was having some trouble with Hoarah, and like others said, I got to the point where I could demolish Godfrey with my spells practically hitless. This video helped me a lot with the “dodging into him” and jumping his earthquake attacks. Seems so simple in hindsight but it’s hard to think critically sometimes when a raging elden lord is hurtling towards you and then up into the sky before you can blink. After watching this vid, it only took me 2 more tries to beat the bastard. HE EVEN COMPLIMENTED MY STRENGTH 🥹
do you know if it is possible to roll dodge through his triple shockwave slam when he pulls up rocks from the ground. i can dodge the first two, but i think it is actually impossible to dodge the 3rd?
Sprint immediately backwards after rolling the first two. If it's all timed together, you should get out of range just in time. Maybe even jump at the end of it for good measure lol
This mf was stomping the sht out of me. I was using the Zweihander w Lion's Claw and decided to look at my ashes of war to see if I had something that might work better. I had never used Poisonous Mist before but decided to give it a try. I melted him the first attempt after switching to that AOW.
I beat him first try his first phase wasy easy asf second phase i got lucky i got huge bleed damage and the summon got madness damage and got him one hp as soon as he started the second phase 💀
In his second phase he moves like hes physically disabled like 99% of all bosses in elden ring. So f ing unnatural. Sorry but my brain is better at reacting to logical and realistic moves and not bosses doing weird yoga poses as attacks. So dumb

Im on journey 3 and this guy is impossible to beat he's soooo much more aggressive
He’s ridiculously aggressive to me too and I’m only on my first lol
It was very helpful to see that you run away from him a lot
Just got to this guy and holy shit! I thought Godskin Duo and Black Blade were difficult, but he makes them seem like pushovers!
I hate that he’s invulnerable while grabbing my Mimic! 😡
Easy solution, don’t use a mimic
@@mmandible5470 wow thanks that really helped
@@azrubs593 no problem, anytime
What’s a mimic
@@johnsaltfresh5946 it’s a summon you can get that’s arguably the best in the game since it summons a clone of the player that can use estus flasks and has a ton of health
Hoarah loux comes and I just get like destroyed, like I can get a hit or 2 off but then I just get railed
This guy is beating me up in NG+3 My ash help is weak black knife tiche and mimic tear ashes both at max 10 I don't know if u can heal your ash health but I do wanna beat the game for NG+4
I have such a hard time with the Shockwave, I just can't get the timing down
Jump them, don't dodge them.
I'm so happy to see you play with a no summons no bleed build. Actually shows how to beat the boss
The guy literally plays with a katana that has the blood status effect, you can see it proc a 1:28 lol...
He is using a katana you noob.
i was intending to defeat him on my own, but just for a try i summoned mimic and defeated him without him reaching 3rd phase, lowkey feel guilty
This helped me memorize his second faze better. Thank you.
Good vid man
I can’t get passed to second one but phase two is easy phase one is just straight up bs
Me: gets the boss down to 1 shot.
The boss: time for me to pull out my 30 attack combo, comprised of delayed attack’s I’ve never done, & ones you don’t know how to dodge.
I have no clue why his second phase is rocking me
Same. I can go hitless in his first phase. It's mainly the grabs for me that are fucking me up.
* came back to say, I finally beat him. Dude was pretty tough but super fun to fight.
@@SweatedPear Yeah it was pretty good. The grabs were scary as hell. Some of them you can just run away from. I ended up just doing hit and run lol
@Toyoda car no shame in that haha. I used bloodhound step with keen nagakiba and hand of melenia which gave me hella reach
I give up with this second phase, I'm just going to summon, he rarely do the move that gets you an opening
W video. Now to do exactly what you did😂🥶
You got this!
F this guy, I’ve been stuck on him for a day now. First phase = easy peasy. But once he gets to hoarah loux my god. I’ll get a couple of hits in but he does so much damn damage if I make one small mistake
Watching a Godfrey Boss Guide to beat the Omen boss from ds3 mod 👍🏻
Simple guide for any boss:
Pick dex, lol.
This game was only tested for dex builds it seems.
Str builds are like: Wait until any boss stops ninja flipping like a coward fairy for 2 minutes -> get an opening finally -> miss -> boss starts its next attack 0.1 seconds after its "opening" -> boss hits you because you're still recovering from the long ass animation -> waste all of your stamina rolling -> not enough stamina once the next opening happens -> keep waiting -> decide to trade hits and pull extremely risky moves out of frustration -> manage to hit the boss finally -> rinse and repeat.
Also, the fact that after smashing Godfrey's damn face with MAXED, POWERSTANCED COLOSSAL SWORDS WITH 90 STR I NEVER got to stagger him, not even stunned him for half a second but you can do it with a super fast, light, anime weapon is the most insulting thing ever. You also procced bleed on top of all the advantages.
90% of your hits here are impossible with a str build. Wish I was exaggerating.
Strength is fucking terrible in this game. I have been using the claymore, and it is even slower in certain ways compared to ultra great swords. The recovery times are ridiculous giving no time to roll. FromSoft seems to keep screwing over strength users, and it genuinely makes me no longer want to play their games.
@@Flatgod The worst thing is that this was already an issue in Dark Souls 3 that they addressed in the second to final patch of said game when they finally reduced the recovery times for all greathammers.
We'll have to wait a year until they fix this I guess.
I can proudly say I beat the whole game in very hard mode, tho.
Very Hard mode: Dual Wielding Colossal Greatswords (the slowest of all colossal weapons)
@@yeahwellthatsjustlikeyouro7466 Yep, DS3 had the same issues, but they keep making the same mistakes in development. I guess they just never learn.
Just get better not difficult
you made this look so easy
His second phase WILL NOT let you attack him with a greatsword. So dumb.
Whaou... afraid of getting there ahaha. Great video! What are your stats?
Godfrey changes to second Faze when he's at half health how come my Godfrey changes when I delete his whole health bar
Fighting him now and i am struggling. Once he transforms im dead and even getting him to half health is taxing
His golden shade was much harder lol.. its probably because i summoned nepheli which ended up making me beat him in 1 try
Dude your just good, I need a method or a trick 🤣
His second phase is so bullshit, I can almost no hit the first phase and it even seems fair but the second phase literally feels like im fighting the guardian ape from sekiro except its wayy worse than that. This boss has completely ruined my motivation for my no-summons run. (sorry for the rant)
I’m on ng and for some reason he is litterally doing double damage to me, I have 60 vigor and I’m getting 1 shot
Dropped the game because of this boss. I killed Malenia before him to avoid the lord of frenzy ending and I’m just sick of trying to kill him. I went back to DS3. Fuck this design of dying 100 times to endgame bosses to properly understand dodging windows.
que isso luis medeiros kkkk
The first phase is easy but the second stage is just random and crazy
This fight turns from elden ring to the good old tekken😅
Mimic absolutely wrecks this guy if you're using Bloodhounds Fang.
Man honestly this second fight was too easy. Black knife tiche and moon veil made it waaaay to easy. It was honestly laughable
1st phase is no problem 2nd phase… oh boy is it frustrating.
First phase is very easy. Had to die twice to figure out his combos.
Sigh walked over mikalai but can't even get past Godfreys first phase. Keeps catching me on the damn timing. Refuses to stomp like at all..
This man been spamming stomp on me for 3 days no other moves😂😂
@@ripyamanz7352 I manages to get him into the second stage and he comes over and DDTs me and I'm like... I'm not even mad... and went to bed.
I'm level 130 currently and still get my ass beat. He barely has cool downs as Horah Loux
How are you moving your character around 360 degrees when target lock is on?
Me with my bloodhound fang cant even attack him because when I do, then I get multiple hits and die, idk what I should do or how I should bet him
Level 90 or 100? I was 150 when I reached him. Though I was doing everything throughout the game
Yours doesn't spam the stomp every breath he takes cuz my does
After watching this I know now Kai didn't beat this game in 3 days legit. Somebody was playing for him, or From Software pre-recorded an entire play through for the DLC Promo. Kai sucks azz at all games he ever plays, he's just an entertainer. Theres noway he beat this guy in a single day, guys giveup nd do something else or take long breaks. For there mental health, especially if it was his first playthrough. You caught that right holmes, you think Kai did it himself.
Bro what are you talking about? Kai definitely did it himself lmao.
@@paikea990 I forgot what this video was about. I forget why i said this, oh right its to wake you up.
@@KOSHPARZ you’re losing it man, go outside
@@paikea990 Entertainment is a hard job, I'm outside rightnow.
How are y’all getting past the first phase whaaat
This fight is no fun at all
Ong he just spams
@@onemanjam_music the worst part is his aggressiveness and the fact that there are barely any openings to safely heal
@@spiderapple5839 ranged fighters and spellcasters are even more boned. If you’re used to fighting 30 feet or more away, prepare for endless ground stomp and AOE. It’s such garbage.
The second phase is impossible as a low vig build.
I was having some trouble with Hoarah, and like others said, I got to the point where I could demolish Godfrey with my spells practically hitless. This video helped me a lot with the “dodging into him” and jumping his earthquake attacks. Seems so simple in hindsight but it’s hard to think critically sometimes when a raging elden lord is hurtling towards you and then up into the sky before you can blink. After watching this vid, it only took me 2 more tries to beat the bastard. HE EVEN COMPLIMENTED MY STRENGTH 🥹
what sword are you using?
i have a serious fucking problem with that health bar
do you know if it is possible to roll dodge through his triple shockwave slam when he pulls up rocks from the ground. i can dodge the first two, but i think it is actually impossible to dodge the 3rd?
Sprint immediately backwards after rolling the first two. If it's all timed together, you should get out of range just in time. Maybe even jump at the end of it for good measure lol
I think you can but the timing is quite hard. Best option is to run away after the 2 slams.. I was only able to roll on the first phase eruption
This mf was stomping the sht out of me. I was using the Zweihander w Lion's Claw and decided to look at my ashes of war to see if I had something that might work better. I had never used Poisonous Mist before but decided to give it a try. I melted him the first attempt after switching to that AOW.
gonna fucking break my fucking pc why is this the hardest boss yet
I beat him first try his first phase wasy easy asf second phase i got lucky i got huge bleed damage and the summon got madness damage and got him one hp as soon as he started the second phase 💀
I no hit first phase but in the fucking second phase i just run and dodge attack i cant get an opening
what samurai are you using?
He keeps one shoring me with his bs earthquakes
In his second phase he moves like hes physically disabled like 99% of all bosses in elden ring. So f ing unnatural. Sorry but my brain is better at reacting to logical and realistic moves and not bosses doing weird yoga poses as attacks. So dumb
I really bad at jumping.............. I usually just rolled.....this messed me up so badly
This video is irrelvant anymore. They added more combos and its way more difficult to hit him after the grab attacks
