Close combat tactics
Per se Godfrey extremely aggressive and chaotic: the boss constantly spams attacks, preventing the Extinguished One from taking a breath, and in addition, his skills can alternate in a very unpredictable sequence. For example, the wraith will sometimes land three or four strong ax attacks in a row, or it will apply a shockwave multiple times, preventing its opponent from moving away.
Best strategy: quickly dodge slow attacks, dealing damage to the boss, and during quick strikes, just save yourself, taking care of your health points. Thus, it will be possible to safely deal damage, gradually destroying the enemy. In addition, the boss is vulnerable to lightning damage attacks. When using heavy weapons, don't forget and don't try to hit Godfrey many times: one hit, then retreat.

Boss abilities and attacks
Real Godfrey poses a far greater danger than his ghost. The boss has two phases (this is the first), as well as an impressive arsenal of tricks:
- Ax throwing - The overlord flies up and throws his weapon in a straight trajectory for a short distance, and then rushes towards him.
- Ax cut - Godfrey soars up again, after which he plunges the tip of his weapon into the ground.
- Ax three-hit combo - the boss swings to the right, then to the left, and finally delivers a powerful blow to the left, ending the series.
- Attack from above – Godfrey performs a cleaving and quick blow with a weapon from above. Often used in combination with other attacks.
- earth fault - the boss swings the ax over his head for a while, then lets go and the weapon falls to the ground. After waiting for some time, Godfrey drives the ax deeper into the ground, causing a large crack that extends the entire length of the arena, but is very narrow. After some time, an energy blast is released from the rift, causing tremendous damage to everyone nearby.
- Shock Wave – The Lord of Elden lifts his leg for a long time, and then crushes it powerfully to the ground, causing stones to pop out of the ground and create a cone-shaped area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbdestruction from them.

While the Overlord's aura is active, all his attacks will have the same range as the arena around him.
How to Kill Godfrey, First Lord of Elden
Close combat tactics
The boss has basic attacks (which the phantom also has), but there are also especially dangerous ones. Most of the ax attacks succeed in blocking, of course, if you have enough stamina. Do not forget that the shield is just a safety net in case it is no longer possible to dodge. Evasion is the main move in combat. One of the dangerous attacks is the shock wave. She deals significant damage, so she is really worth fearing. If Godfrey's foot almost touches the floor, and it's too late to run away, you can try to jump up to avoid damage.
Upon entering the arena, summon a phantom before the boss begins his attack. The spirit will allow you to attack Godfrey in the back for a while and avoid attacks that knock the Extinguished One off his feet. The boss has fast and long attacks, it is the latter that are in priority. If everything is fine with the reaction, it is worth trying to inflict damage on Godfrey at the moments while he is preparing his skill, or recovering from it: landing on the ax, lifting the leg (until the moment of impact, or if the cone is directed in the other direction) and others.
Ranged combat tactics
Fight for a ranged character is much easier, than in close combat. Godfrey doesn't have many skills that allow him to get close, so by summoning a good spirit, killing the boss from afar will not be difficult. It is enough to take the required distance and attack the enemy while he is distracted by the phantom.
In such a battle, you should be wary of throwing an ax so as not to get hit by a combination of attacks, as well as skills that deal damage over an area, such as an earthquake or an earth rift. If you get carried away by spamming spells, you can get into the affected area, which will be very inconvenient. The boss sometimes makes dashes to close the distance: in this case, it would be a good decision to retreat immediately if Godfrey's intentions to get closer were noticed. In the case of the presence of a phantom in the arena, it is likely that the dash will be knocked down by a spell or a spirit attack.

Abilities and Attacks of Hoara Lux, Warrior
With the onset of the second phase of the battle Godfrey changes beyond recognition, now fighting instead Hoara: The boss takes on a new look and the entire attack list is updated:
- Jump grip – Lux runs towards the Extinguished One and raises his hands to the sky, trying to capture the enemy. If the ability is successful and the target is grappled, Hoara launches the enemy high into the air, then shoots himself up and throws the Extinguished One to the ground with all his might, dealing significant damage. In some cases, the boss will use another skill (running jump) to move to a grapple. This move is faster than the skill's standard animation.
- Jump and claw grapple - The Warrior rushes forward, arms crossed in front of his head: as soon as the boss reaches the target, he strikes with his claws. In the event of a successful attack, Hoara will throw the Extinguished One up, then jump after the enemy and throw it into the ground with maximum force.
- Roar - This skill consists of three stages: first, Hoara Lux emits an animal roar, knocking all enemies down. After the first skill, the boss jumps towards the Extinguished One, slamming his hand into the arena and causing a huge shockwave. To complete the combination, the Warrior puts both hands underground, waits for a while, and pulls his hands out of the arena, generating a release of energy from the ground in several places on the battlefield.
- Kick - The boss makes a strong attack with his foot up, knocking the Extinguished One off his feet.
- Choke kick - Hoara Lux raises his right hand up, waits for a while, and then tries to grab the opponent with his hand. If the skill was successful and hit the target, the boss will lift the Extinguished One above his head, after which he will knock him aside. One of the most dangerous skills that deal tremendous damage.
- Multiple claw attacks – The Warrior performs two lightning strikes with his claws, waits for a short time, and then makes an uppercut with his left hand. In some cases, this combination can turn into a choke punch.
- Pumped earthquake - Hoara performs a normal stomp attack like in the first phase, and maybe enhance it. The difference is that while energizing, he first stomps and only then hits the arena with both hands, causing two shock waves in a row.
How to kill Hoara Lux, Warrior
Close combat tactics
After reincarnation Godfrey becomes significantly stronger, throws the ax aside and returns to good old hand-to-hand combat. Now his attacks are more dangerous, they deal more damage and knock down the Extinguished One more often. Hoara's emphasis is mainly on controlling the enemy, especially on captures. Grabs are the most powerful attacks that can extremely quickly eliminate an underpowered Extinguished One, so you should pay special attention to them.
In the second phase the shield is of little use, since the opponent's control is effective even through the block. For a successful battle, you will need to quickly understand which animation precedes especially dangerous skills. After the roar, Hoara often jumps, so pay attention to his behavior so as not to accidentally end up in the affected area. The release of energy occurs a few seconds after the earth shift, it is difficult not to notice this attack. Also, keep an eye on the movement of the hands: before a series of attacks or a grab, Lux will often wind up his hand and hold it behind for a while.
It is better to attack the boss after Hoara completes a series of attacks, or after standard jump attacks, they are easier to predict and after them Lux recovers strength for a while.
Ranged combat tactics
Just like in the first phase, fighting as a ranged character shouldn't be too difficult. Only the style of Godfrey's attacks changes: the boss approaches more often and more readily contacts the Extinguished. Using spirit, it will be possible to keep the Warrior at a distance and provoke him into a fight with a phantom. Be wary of any attacks in which Hoara tries to grab the Extinguished One, knock him down, or control him in any other way.
As soon as you notice that the boss begins to perform a jump attack or other long-term skill, then immediately run back at the maximum distance available for casting: in this way, it will be possible to get a lot of time to use spells: first, Hoara Lux will carry out an attack, then complete it, and only then will he begin to approach.
