@@Justjustinp Godskin Duo is one of the best & most epic boss fights i've ever seen, the only problem is that they are EXTREMELY difficult to beat, really, they are probably the only fight i needed "Mimic Tear", the other fights like Malekith were not harder than them.
My first time encountering this guy was in the bottom of the Divine Tower of Caelid. Kicked my ass, but I got him eventually. Not to mention a nice fucking greatsword
@@GenshinLover283 My first encounter with him was also in Caelid and I fought him for hours hoping he'd drop his weapon. I found out about the other one after this.
I like to imagine that the tarnished is facing the same two Godskin Duo throughout the map, they keep resurrecting each other until you reach Farum Azula where they try to skin you once and for all. "Enough messing around. It's time to end this"
Gameplay wise this doesn't fit as you get souls and equipment for killing them when they are by themselves. But lore wise it could work and would be cool
The first time I fought this guy was in Caelid Tower, I was VERY underleveled and he could two shot me. It was both a learning experience, and a cruel lesson in stubborness.
This was me too. I went to australia way too early (the chest trap) and toughed it out.. the tower's guards were a boss fight for me at that point.. and i died so many times.. but i got down to the bottom.. got the NEW boss fight of the black flame monk and then.. The Apostle broke my body many times... and The Queen's black flame greatsword became my main weapon.. Even killed Elden beast for the first time with it. I died by the Godskin.. Then lived by the Godskin.
If you guys don't know already, the lore of these guys are crazy. They would skin gods, and that's pretty obvious, but the reason they wear the skin is to brag about their power, and they were such a big issue in the lands between, that Marika sent Maliketh the black blade to kill the Golam Eyed Queen, who controlled the power of the black flame.
@@AizenSosukesama I don't think it's fym mine, was he even feared by the gods themselves? I don't know what the hierarchy of Elden Ring is but I think the gods had to be at the top.
Didn't know the full OST played at Farum Azula for the Godskin Duo fight. When I encountered my 1st apostle at the Windmill Village, I was immediately hooked by its boss theme.
Yeah that was.. unnecessary, especially since that was a very weak one with hardly any hp. It took away some of its awesomeness but still.. kick arse design!
@@matthonius the input read is actually quite literal. They input read when you press the button to heal, not when your healing animation starts. Makes it seem like they’re reading your mind
I swear if we don't get an DLC that goes deeper into the lore of the Godskins and the God killing black flame ima be disappointed cause they're my favorite enemies in the game so far and their lore is pretty dope
I think it was good. Fromsoft seems to have used the Demon Prince AI for a lot of boss fights in Elden Ring, where duo bosses try to alternate between being passive and aggressive, rather than both just acting as aggressive as possible
@@TheSpectralForce That was NOT the experience I had, they were both on me constantly and I had to try and find little windows to try and sneak in some damage.
@@apemayor3046 I find that the Noble has a habit of being the hyper aggressive one, where Apostle tends to hang back and chuck fireballs every so often. There's oftentimes in the fight I get caught up with the Noble and forget Apostle is even there. If you summon spirit ashes, though, all bets are off. They both go full ham.
@@apemayor3046 That's super weird. For me the Noble started out super aggressive and it stayed that way until I killed him. Once the Apostle became aggressive and resummoned the Noble the Apostle stayed the most Aggressive until his death and it swapped back. Perhaps it only worked like this because I was only damaging one at a time while avoiding the opposite guy?
@@TheSpectralForce The whole time I was just going for apostle since I couldn't for the life of me dodge some of the noble's phase 2 attacks. I would try to separate them but I swear every time I tried to hit the apostle the noble would do his jab attacks straight through. After the apostle died I mostly just ran around and waited for him to respawn.
Love that the Godskin have a Dies Irae adjacent boss theme. I was really into that fight against god-killers. I don't know their lore much yet, but now Im like hustling on stealing their gear and loitering their towns.
This has actually given me an idea for a 2 phase boss called Blackflame Monk Rexus. In his first phase, the player will notice almost immediately that he uses the Godslayer's Greatsword as his weapon instead of a flameblade like other Blackflame Monks, and also some upgraded versions of black flame incantations, along with the standard spells Blackflame Monks use. After getting to around half health, Rexus will use the Ash of War of the Godslayer's Greatsword, but instead of just two attacks, he does the two standard attacks and ending with an overhead strike that sends out an explosion of black flame and imbuing his blade with black flames. This is where he starts using his upgraded incantations, called Godslayer's Flame and a three strike black flame combustion. But through blood sweat and fire, you the Tarnished bring him down. But it's not over yet. The Gloam-Eyed Queen steps in and blesses the fallen Monk with the god-slaying black flame, turning him into Rexus, Avatar of the Blackflame. Now, I'm sure we've all fought the Soul of Cinder at some point by now, and Rexus has some of it's moves, including Gwyn's imfamous grab attack, while also having his original moveset. Rexus, Avatar of the Blackflame can use a variation of the incantation Burn, O Flame!, but a black flame version of that called Godslayer's Firestorm. He will also periodically use the Queen's Black Flame Ash of War during the fight, as well as send pillars of black flames at the Tarnished during his half health phase. Upon defeating Rexus, Avatar of the Blackflame, you get three of the incantations he used. Godslayer's Flame, Godslayer's Firestorm, and Black Flame Combustion, as well as a remembrance. Remembrance of the Avatar. Using this remembrance with give you Rexus' Greatsword, and the Avatar's Grasp incantation. What do you all think?
So I've been hooked on listening to the Elden Ring Soundtracks, and alot of them are straight bangers, some of the best FromSoftware has ever conducted. But the Godskin Apostles Theme just... *chef's kiss* this shit hits different and I just fell head over heels in love with it
Such an epic and powerful melody for such a strange set of grotesque bosses. So far, the only thing that disappointed me about Elden Ring is the lack of powerful compositions in the spirit of Bloodborne and Dark Souls III. Well, I haven't heard all the tracks yet, but the main menu OST and this theme are all that inspires me at the moment. Which is strange, because Yuka Kitamura has always created powerful and awakening works of imagination and feelings before. Perhaps a pleasant surprise awaits me in the future. Who knows.
It's weird, the tracks feel designed as highlights, rather than showpeices. Like movie osts, basically. They aren't as impressive on their own. They're amazing....with the boss. They're still good on their own but holy moly while fighting the bosses they are paired with, it's like heaven.
@@izavy_5520 I agree, it's also a good theme. Thanks for the tip, the fight with the boss is so chaotic that you just don't have time to pay attention to it)
@@theneef174 But remember how epic the music of Laurence, the First Vicar, sounded. How it reflected the tragedy of his careless desire to elevate humanity through monstrous experiments with old blood. How menacing sounded the musical theme of Pontiff Sullivahn, who almost arranged the end of the world for the sake of his insane faith in the Era of Man. How the cello and the violin song with doom, telling us about the emptiness of Gehrman, the First Hunter, who was stuck in the nightmarish snares of his guilt. There are many tragic characters in the Elden Ring. All Demigods suffer from their "divinity" in one way or another. Renalla, abandoned by her husband. A distraught Radahn. An infirm Godric, looking for strength in the parts of other people's bodies. But their musical themes are empty. They do not reflect the conflict voiced in the lore. But two strange apostles with elastic skin have one of the most memorable melodies in the game.
@@wi0.24se bloodbornes music feels much more organised and less chaotic than traditional dark souls imo, think of like, holy blade, or gherman, and compare those to songs from the other ds games
"Please, don't... Not my skin. I like my skin, please let me keep it." *Slowly a man with weird proportions in a white robe approached, but once closer, it's not white... Dead skin.*
I remember my first time encountering the Godskin Apostle pretty early on in the game. Took me quite a while to beat him due to me going to him right after getting the first great rune. But I got one of the best faith weapons in the entire game, the Godslayer Greatsword. Once I got it I randomly decided to swap my build a bit and I regret not a single seconds. Such a powerful, insanely strong weapon with high poise, high physical and high blackflame damage, it still completely melts bosses even in late game. It was absolutely worth it to go to the divine tower in the scarlet rot area right away!
I like how the design is distinctly similar to the coiled sword and it being a godslayer feels like somewhat of a homage, that ash of war is crazy strong too. Somewhat looks like the edgier version of soul of cinder phase 2.
@TrevorKl 23 I did the stupidest thing that worked, heaviest defensive setup i could manage and wail on her together with the mimic(who would keep using the art doing crazy damage). That alongside erdtree heal on my memory slot made the mimic last through phase 2 as well.
“Fat dude and thin dude, it’s a classic they’ll love it” Sure “Ok but WHAT IF we made the fat guy also a fast guy, right ? RIGHT ?” -fromsoft board room
Had the misfortune of meeting stretchy boy on caelid 75% of the reason on why I didn't rage quit is because de soundtrack is soo good. Now I look forward to fight them again just for the soundtrack...
Games often have very effective orchestrated mood music that fits the scene and blends seamlessly into the background but doesn't do much for me outside of that as a song in and of itself, but this is one of two songs in the game with some actual kick that makes it worth listening to just because, this and the main theme.
The boss fight music with the deer (forgot his name) was pretty cool, I liked it a lot. But this song for this boss blew me away, it's so epic and matches the bosses moves. Love it
i sang this theme every time my friend and i had to redo the godskin duo after failing at least 10 times we were like f it we going in full auto he rush towards the noble with his magic and i rush to the apostle with my blade and finally manage to end it
@Homeless Man if you kill the one in the divine tower basement where you go to activate general rhadans great rune there's another apostle boss fight and it drops the armor
When you're doing better than your best; here comes the stress. No summon; all alone, Crimson Tears are almost gone. Deliberate, plodding noise swells into focus. My herald; my witness. . . . Somebody finish this shit.
I went to Caelid being low SL, somehow i ended up in bigass tower where Godskin apostate was waiting. he wipe floor with me so many times, but eventually i was the on top - one of the best feeling ever, plus he's theme embeded in my mind, and that's why im here
We can read in their armor's description that their black flames are a god slaying technique they developed. From here on we can guess that they're a god slaying cult burning down gods and using their skins to make coats.
@@abovearth6740 Neither of the sets explain why they attack us though. Or what happened to the windmill village and why there is one deep in radahn's divine tower.
I looked at the two black flame incantations I have and it springs even more questions. Maliketh? Gloam-Eyed Queen? Destined Death? Seriously there's a lot here that I'd love to know about.
1:03 this was the moment i fought the first apostle in game and he did a jump attack and hit the ground the exact second the music dropped. (its not scripted btw) and i just got goosebumps man
Fromsoft giving me the biggest banger of a theme while wandering through a dancing witch village hit me with the best kind of whiplash, holy shit this is great
The only redeemable qualities of this awful duo boss are my +10 greatshield boys there to tank aggro, and this spectacular music. This and Godrick’s theme are just…. Insane. I love them so much
First time listening to this masterpiece was in the divine tower of caelid, the funny part is that i was clueless about Radhan’s great rune, i went there just for curiosity. However, when i first met the skinny one there i was so traumatized and triggered as well!! I couldn’t bear the fact that this random npc in a tower can 2 shot me and is hella powerful. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this masterpiece with every cell i acquire, the way he was extremely powerful to me and that masterpiece in the background, made it an absolute masterpiece, not to mention that victorious was uniquely wonderful. I will never shut up on how fascinating Elden ring is, and how astonishing it was on my first play through, Miyazaki, you dropped this 👑.
After playing through elder ring a 7 times now. The godskin buo doesn't bother me anymore and I quite enjoy it now. After learning that the fight is about spacing the bosses apart made it way more enjoyable imo. Just recently killed them on a lvl 50 character after 20ish tries
Godskin really isn't that bad mostly a DPS check and using your environment kinda fight. Probably the best duo fight in elden ring but that's not saying much.

@TrevorKl 23 I did the stupidest thing that worked, heaviest defensive setup i could manage and wail on her together with the mimic(who would keep using the art doing crazy damage).
That alongside erdtree heal on my memory slot made the mimic last through phase 2 as well.
2:04 my favorite part through out the whole song it makes me feel like the fight is about to get crazier
This kicks in once one gets revived
“Fat dude and thin dude, it’s a classic they’ll love it”
Sure
“Ok but WHAT IF we made the fat guy also a fast guy, right ? RIGHT ?”
-fromsoft board room
Had the misfortune of meeting stretchy boy on caelid 75% of the reason on why I didn't rage quit is because de soundtrack is soo good.
Now I look forward to fight them again just for the soundtrack...
Games often have very effective orchestrated mood music that fits the scene and blends seamlessly into the background but doesn't do much for me outside of that as a song in and of itself, but this is one of two songs in the game with some actual kick that makes it worth listening to just because, this and the main theme.
1:24 best part
The boss fight music with the deer (forgot his name) was pretty cool, I liked it a lot. But this song for this boss blew me away, it's so epic and matches the bosses moves. Love it
Ancestor spirit! Love that theme!
Godskin duo, maliketh, and placidusax. The demigods would be doomed if they decided to band together and come down to the lands between
thats a scary combo for sure
This OST stands out the most in this game and it's very good.
Theme: Godskin
Background: Frenzied Flame
Well done
2:07 just perfect
0:20 TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
The opening of this song is so good i have to let them slaughter me mid fight just so i can keep hearing it.
i sang this theme every time my friend and i had to redo the godskin duo after failing at least 10 times we were like f it we going in full auto he rush towards the noble with his magic and i rush to the apostle with my blade and finally manage to end it
The eyes on the hood creep me tf out I cant stand wearing the armor even though its cool looking lol
@Homeless Man if you kill the one in the divine tower basement where you go to activate general rhadans great rune there's another apostle boss fight and it drops the armor
@@Shredded_Dragon you can also get the godskin noble armor after beating him on the Liurnia divine tower bridge
Absolutely fantastic
The fact that in order to get the godslaying greatsword i need to get crushed by this boss makes me happy.
Ridiculously epic
Real
These guys are the bane of my existence
When you're doing better than your best; here comes the stress.
No summon; all alone, Crimson Tears are almost gone.
Deliberate, plodding noise swells into focus. My herald; my witness.
. . .
Somebody finish this shit.
I died many times to the godskin guys but never once i got frustrated or angry because i wanted to keep listening to the theme.
This is the song that plays when you go outside after 14 days of staying inside
For anybody having trouble with either the Apostle or Noble: Sleeping Pots are VERY useful
I went to Caelid being low SL, somehow i ended up in bigass tower where Godskin apostate was waiting. he wipe floor with me so many times, but eventually i was the on top - one of the best feeling ever, plus he's theme embeded in my mind, and that's why im here
High poise damage weapons also knock them on their ass quick, especially the fat one strangly
im waiting for the vaati lore vid on these guys cuz they have some of the coolest designs and best music
We can read in their armor's description that their black flames are a god slaying technique they developed. From here on we can guess that they're a god slaying cult burning down gods and using their skins to make coats.
@@abovearth6740 Neither of the sets explain why they attack us though. Or what happened to the windmill village and why there is one deep in radahn's divine tower.
@@vignetter4802 Because they're video games bosses from a Fromsoftware games therefore they attack everything on sight.
I looked at the two black flame incantations I have and it springs even more questions. Maliketh? Gloam-Eyed Queen? Destined Death? Seriously there's a lot here that I'd love to know about.
@@abovearth6740 No, fromsoft always has a reason the entities are attacking you. They aren't careless.
1:03 this was the moment i fought the first apostle in game and he did a jump attack and hit the ground the exact second the music dropped. (its not scripted btw) and i just got goosebumps man
Visions of epic battle...
June 2024 still the best battle theme for now 7 more days til DLC
Best boss theme of the game. On par with smough and ornstein theme for dark souls 1.
Listened to this so much I play this whenever i enter any boss fight, deadass makes me feel like a demigod
We should have heard that angelic solo more in this song
Favourite song from elden ring so far
2:28
7:15
Some of my favourite parts
But seriously this entire soundtrack is masterful
These pale lads and their track be spittin' flames. Black Flames!
Funny part is I found this song while watching two people doing a cohop Zelda ocarina of Time match😂 this song is pretty epic
Fromsoft giving me the biggest banger of a theme while wandering through a dancing witch village hit me with the best kind of whiplash, holy shit this is great
The only redeemable qualities of this awful duo boss are my +10 greatshield boys there to tank aggro, and this spectacular music. This and Godrick’s theme are just…. Insane. I love them so much
Didn't notice this theme until I was fighting the godskin duo and had to look it up
They really did have the best music
Such a master piece... Fantastic music
GEQ theme aka Melina before burning. So Heroic. They were good guys after all.
Fromsoft making the hardest song you've ever heard for the diabetic boss:
Diabetes and Anorexia
I might be wrong but i think the composer of this one was actually Tai Tomisawa and not Yuka Kitamura like the description says.
thanks, I'll fix the description now
First time listening to this masterpiece was in the divine tower of caelid, the funny part is that i was clueless about Radhan’s great rune, i went there just for curiosity. However, when i first met the skinny one there i was so traumatized and triggered as well!! I couldn’t bear the fact that this random npc in a tower can 2 shot me and is hella powerful. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this masterpiece with every cell i acquire, the way he was extremely powerful to me and that masterpiece in the background, made it an absolute masterpiece, not to mention that victorious was uniquely wonderful.
I will never shut up on how fascinating Elden ring is, and how astonishing it was on my first play through, Miyazaki, you dropped this 👑.
1:23 thats why you are here
No, here for the entire thing
2:00 definitely my favorite part
After playing through elder ring a 7 times now. The godskin buo doesn't bother me anymore and I quite enjoy it now. After learning that the fight is about spacing the bosses apart made it way more enjoyable imo. Just recently killed them on a lvl 50 character after 20ish tries
Godskin really isn't that bad mostly a DPS check and using your environment kinda fight. Probably the best duo fight in elden ring but that's not saying much.
@@babblejacks2818 yup lol. Although they have a top 5 ost
The Godskins were probably one of my favorite type of boss in the game
And that fanmade lyrics goes so well with their lore
I Fought The Sacred Apostle Right After Radahn And Oh Boy, He Gave Me A Much Harder Time To Beat And Is My Favorite So Far
bro why u capitalizing all your words?
u also get 100k for fighting godskin so it makes sense hell be harder than randahn
This, radagon, and elden best ALL are number 1 when it comes to the god tier OST.
It could be our final fight against Melina gloom eyed queen of destined death. It sounds enough epic for that
@BloodyArchangelus That is, really creative.
That second phase tho 😢My favorite part of the whole song
