His weapon desperately needs a buff and scale change. This thing should scale at least an A strength, D in Dex makes sense since Godfrey does maneuver with the axe and such.
@@soully9568 I'd say this even applies to most Colossal Weapons! They're huge, slow, but barely scale in damage for some reason. But here, yeah. I'd be happy with at least an A, but not a damn C.
Got super excited when I first beat him, not only because I had so much fun, but because, finally a boss weapon that would be major Strength scaling. It would've been perfect for the build I had which was strength-faith donning rugged regal armors with fur, bestial incantations that use the earth to attack enemies. I then upgrade the weapon to +10 before realizing it was only a C scaling with strength, a D in dex. As such my 80 Str build bestows only 782 Attack Rating to it, whereas Longshaft Axe and Gargoyle's Halberd have 792, and 812 Respectively. Not to mention I'm able to buff them, while Axe of Godfrey cannot be buffed. Nonetheless still love the weapon, if you haven't tried making a build for it, I would definitely recommend as much, even without much scaling it's one of my favorite weapons in all of Elden Ring. Edit: About the buffs, I forgot Regal Roar buffs the weapon getting it up to 866, but Vyke's Dragonbolt gets my Halberd to 889 so still is outdamaged unfortunately on this build.
@@avidsatanist Fighting both versions of Godfrey was definitely the most fun I've had fighting a boss in a game! Really cool lad! I was also a paladin before I realised this game hates strength and faith, seeing as Malenia is nigh-impossible to crit after breaking her posture with a Colossal Weapon, as well as Elden Beast healing from holy damage. I've decided to go full strength now! The damage from Godfrey's Axe is still not much, but it's getting better! I've been steadly levelling my dexterity on the side, since I don't think I need anything beyond 70 strength. Hopefully I can use it for NG+, I only have the Lichdragon and the Dragonlord left to kill!
The fact Godfrey doesn't talk down to you, doesn't call you foul or weak or unworthy, he openly admits that you're a mighty warrior, if you made it this far, it wasn't by being cowardly and stupid. And when you beat him he keeps it up, saying your strength is that of a Lord much like him
Horoah loux is a tarnished like us and a true warrior, it makes sense that he wouldnt look down on his opponent, especially a fellow tarnished who has made it this far
I also feel like by making Godfrey this late a boss in the game it is also perhaps Fromsoft telling everybody that they did a good job making it this far.
We've traveled the land, fought beasts of unspeakable horrors, defeated demi-gods and battled dragons, the journey has all brought us to this very moment, to face nothing but a man, a man that broke the world in half, a man who tamed the horrors in their days of prime and was crowned the first elden lord. Now we stand before not just a mortal man but a man shrouded in legend and myth. Not a mindless beast, a corrupted demi-god, or a faithless cur, we stand before Godfrey, the man who tamed the world through strength and his unbreakable will, we stand before Hoarah Loux, WARRIOR!
Th fact that he didn't become a mindless monster when Marika disgraced him and made him the first Tarnished really speaks volumes for Godfrey's will. He didn't fall to darkness or become enraged. Instead, he made a new life for himself as Hoarah Loux and came back countless years later when the Site of Grace came back to him... when the Greater Will finally needed a puppet again... but he wouldn't be made one again. Instead, he'd stand against you, in your way. Not to stop you from becoming Elden Lord, but to see your strength and will, to know that you have a chance against the Greater Will and those who vehemently stand by it, for if you can handle the strongest man alive, a man who has SLAIN GODS, then you'll surely be able to slay gods yourself.
"I've given thee courtesy, enough" is the most badass line in the game, so much fucking testosterone bro. It's like when Margit says "Well, thou'rt of passing skill" they're acknowledging your strength and as such actually start trying and it's so fucking cool each time
The fact he still gives the player respect even after holding his dying son, knowing that they were the ones who killed him, shows how much of a chad Godfrey really is

And then you see Godfrey fight, and you're like "no, yeah, still fits this guy."

@@cinders5305 What you wrote seemed very generic, so i just assumed you wanted to take on the role as a Souls Gamer. You played this game 6 times and you dont even know the names the enemies? I think its my 3rd playthrough and i can almost even tell you where every enemy stands, lol. But then again, im Level 130 on my recent playthrough and i havent even challenged fake Godfrey. I explore very thoroughly.
I like to think that the reason his axe is destroyed is not due to his strength, but because of his inability to use it. Godfrey became elden lord while fighting in his bare handed form and only switched to using an axe and having Serosh because Hoarah Loux really doesn't fit the image of a king. Serosh is there to calm his bloodlust and the axe is just a slightly less barbaric way to fight than bare hands. This means that he doesn't care about fighting etiquette and doesn't have an actual combat style. He just smashes the axe to the ground, like he does in game in the first phase.
He, by far, is one of my favorite fights. You're fighting a legend itself and for not only the title of elden lord but honor. Even he respects you after he is killed. Talk about good sportsmanship.
This! The first phase was soo epic and the great axe moves, the lion on the shoulder omg all is perfect. the second is cool but I prefer a classic warrior lord than a brawler giant xD
Marika: "Babe come over" Godfrey: "I can't, you kinda took away my grace and banished my entire people" Marika: "The next Elden Lord candidate has arrived and you're about to get NTR'd" Godfrey:
First time fighting this guy while Elden ring being my first souls game, he was genuinely fun to go against. - Isn't cheesy like Malekith or the Duo - Commends you not once, but twice, and sees you as someone who is worth exerting effort on. - You can fight him head on so as long as you can manage your stamina to dodge and attack. - Is a normal human, Tarnished, who's just built different. Overall he's probably the most fun bosses you can go toe-to-toe with in Elden Ring.
I would not say he's entirely not cheesy. That AoE spam is REALLY annoying and ruins what is otherwise an awesome and challenging fight. He didn't do it so much, it would be a much better fight, but he seems to do it almost CONSTANTLY once you get him down to 70% health, and the worst part is that it covers THE ENTIRE ARENA. Otherwise, I really like his character and fight.
When you think about it, Godrick is this guy's hype man. Same white braided hair, big axe, extra attachments on back. Godrick really is trying to live up to Godfrey.
That's why he weilds a axe with Serosh on it , trying to live up to his lineage also his grafting the dragon was him trying to be like Goldwyn cause Goldwyn tamed and befriended a dragon , also the forefathers bare witness is telling Godfrey and Goldwyn look at me now
@@JuanRodriguez-vd1bg I’m a staunch fan of Godrick. Say what you will, yes he was a depraved old fool, but his admiration for Godfrey and Godwyn is 100% justified and totally admirable, even for someone like Godrick
@@loneshinobi2682 Game lampshades with Giant Crusher that modern generation of humans in Lands Between have turned on each other, and consequently have become much weaker than the ancient men like Godfrey. So Godrick fits this idea perfectly, feeble son trying to live up to legacy of his legendary forbears and not taken seriously by other people, even Kenneth talking behind his back. Godrick sadly peaks with his dragon arm momentarily, just before we cut him down. I really like Godrick myself, and it is bit dissapointing that we can´t interact with him and other Shardbearers nearly as much as we do with Ranni.
This song is like a dance. It has the rhythm and pulse of a kind of warrior’s waltz, and the fight between us and Godfrey in his first phase really feels dance-like. Then he casts all the pleasantries aside to throw mad hands at us.
What i like about this fight is that Godfrey faces you at the last possible moment in your journey. Cut dialogue seems to imply he was onto Marika's plan to break the elden ring, so if he is truly in support of the golden order is up for debate. But we do know one thing he wants more than anything is a worthy opponent to fight. So he waits right before the end of our quest where we will be at our strongest. And when he is defeated, he congratulates us and says we're worthy of becoming lord.
Malenia: Demi-goddess of rot Radahn: Demi-god, conqueror of the stars Rennala: Queen of the full moon Rykard: Demi-god, lord of blasphemy Morgott: Demi-god, the last king Mohg: Demi-god, the lord of blood Radagon: God, the current reigning Elden Lord Godfrey: Just another Tarnished like you.
Jokes aside his line of "A crown is warranted with strength" is really inspirational for me. I always knew that I would only reach my goals in life by gaining not physical strength but strength of character. The strength to persevere and not give up on ones's dream, I really treasure that thought. After all... In the days of old a crown was warranted with strength
Watching the cutscene is a necessity for me specifically for 0:08 because the chorus goes silent, while the instruments create some build up and when the dark screen finishes loading godfrey attacks and the chorus comes back again.
I imagine the crucible knights being yeeted out from the capital by Godfrey after they fail to do the stomp "Thou shall learn again in thy next age! *Yeet*"
Of all the Demi-gods, the one that’s a “true” warrior is simply just a man. a REAL man with a strength build. Instead of powering up and going crazy like the others, he tosses the armor off and goes ham. “AND ITS HOARAH LOUX WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!”
Godfrey just gives me gym vibes. Is too funny to watch him literally lifting the ground, causing immense shockwaves and using that huge axe like it's lighter than a toothpick
weird concept i thought of is that you and him go take on radagon and the elden beast but after the battle you fight each other to see who really becomes elden lord. tbf though the concept id pretty flawed in some manners but i think itd be cool to fight with godfrey.
A quebra de expectativa ao ver esse boss como o suposto boss final foi incrível. De fato, n ficaria triste se ele fosse realmente o último boss. Em um jogo onde ao longo de toda a nossa jornada derrotamos inúmeros seres mitológicos, semi-deuses e os escambau, ter um boss assim na reta final foi do caralho slk
I have fought every boss in every souls game except sekiro (and tbh, I don’t count sekiro as a souls game, it’s quite it’s seperate thing imo) And this guy is top 5 material quite easily. And that for a base game boss is absolutely immaculate 🫶 His voicelines, the entire fight (I slightly preferred the order, yet continuous pressure in phase 1 vs the chaotic pressure in phase 2), the OST, the ambience, everything just WORKS. If only it wasn’t followed up with the lackluster elden beast. Don’t get me wrong, elden beast is still pretty solid. But compared to Radagon & Chadfrey, Elden Beast just feels disappointing 😭
Best boss in the entire game, no fancy, anime-shit type of moves like Malenia or Maliketh, just a absolute chad with a giant axe, the fight itself is well telegraphed and gives you many openings for punishment, classic souls boss formula
no you are far from right but today everyone seems to play either op or summon so who is a guy with longsword trying to get trough these bs aoe combo chains :p
I don't know how many people will agree on me,but godfrey should have been the final boss,imagine,just after you kill a literal god,you come back to reclaim your throne,and he stands there,just a man,no demigod or god,as he challenges you,to see if you really are worthy of elden lord's title,also,the sky should change depending on the ending you chose,I know it wouldn't be fitting for some endings but it would be sick as fuck,and in my opinion,a much better way to end the game.
@@jonasfadi8213 I meant like maybe it gives Godfrey a temporary buff or it gives you a temporary debuff the only thing it gives is a more intimidating look
@@spookytown7963 I was mainly thinking of it giving something like warcry to Godfrey and giving you a attack debuff or defense debuff because I think the aoe thing is phase 2 and the cutscene sends it to phase 3
My favorite moment of the entire game was slow-walking towards him, and he slow-walked towards me, and we were very nearly in each other's faces before he finally raised his axe to attack.
If you want to know what they lyrics for that part are, they are Hedo patu pinose Pito prate na pa To pi itu femito It doesn't translate into nothing...
He was the only one that truly loved Morgott, even though literally everyone else including the Erdtree itself hates/is terrified of him because he's an Omen. He's the only one that truly lays Morgott to rest after you defeat him. He gives respect even to his enemies if they are strong enough to challenge him. I'd say he's prime dad material
They are tho... Margit, Godrick and Rennala - Early Game Rykard, Radahn, Astel, Mohg, Morgott and Fortissax - Mid Game Fire Giant, Maliketh, Malenia, Placidusax, Godfrey and Radagon/Elden Beast - Late Game Then there are also great and decent Boss/Mini Boss encounters between them
@@Ryuxun fire giant is a great but easy fight. Malenia is one of the best bosses from soft ever made (she teaches you that you have to git gud, no way around it) and Elden beast is one of the most visually jaw droping bosses ever

- Isn't cheesy like Malekith or the Duo
- Commends you not once, but twice, and sees you as someone who is worth exerting effort on.
- You can fight him head on so as long as you can manage your stamina to dodge and attack.
- Is a normal human, Tarnished, who's just built different.
Overall he's probably the most fun bosses you can go toe-to-toe with in Elden Ring.
he isn't some anime main character bullshit. he's just a Big Man With A Big Axe and that's all he needs. Hell, he doesn't even need the axe
I would not say he's entirely not cheesy. That AoE spam is REALLY annoying and ruins what is otherwise an awesome and challenging fight. He didn't do it so much, it would be a much better fight, but he seems to do it almost CONSTANTLY once you get him down to 70% health, and the worst part is that it covers THE ENTIRE ARENA. Otherwise, I really like his character and fight.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I was just jumping near him. Seems like a fair tactic against his AoEs
" Isn't cheesy like Malekith" - in what world is maliketh cheesy?
@@alexradac589 dude jumps a lot spamming magic... never fights up close like godfrey
When you think about it, Godrick is this guy's hype man. Same white braided hair, big axe, extra attachments on back. Godrick really is trying to live up to Godfrey.
That's why he weilds a axe with Serosh on it , trying to live up to his lineage also his grafting the dragon was him trying to be like Goldwyn cause Goldwyn tamed and befriended a dragon , also the forefathers bare witness is telling Godfrey and Goldwyn look at me now
@@JuanRodriguez-vd1bg I’m a staunch fan of Godrick. Say what you will, yes he was a depraved old fool, but his admiration for Godfrey and Godwyn is 100% justified and totally admirable, even for someone like Godrick
@@loneshinobi2682 Game lampshades with Giant Crusher that modern generation of humans in Lands Between have turned on each other, and consequently have become much weaker than the ancient men like Godfrey.
So Godrick fits this idea perfectly, feeble son trying to live up to legacy of his legendary forbears and not taken seriously by other people, even Kenneth talking behind his back. Godrick sadly peaks with his dragon arm momentarily, just before we cut him down. I really like Godrick myself, and it is bit dissapointing that we can´t interact with him and other Shardbearers nearly as much as we do with Ranni.
This song is like a dance. It has the rhythm and pulse of a kind of warrior’s waltz, and the fight between us and Godfrey in his first phase really feels dance-like.
Then he casts all the pleasantries aside to throw mad hands at us.
Nothing like a song for the waltz.. it’s just there to be epic, and epic it is.
One more way Godrick tries to copy Godfrey, his battle music is also a waltz
I like how heroic it sounds. Makes sense since it's Godfrey.
The buildup, the OST and the presentation of godfrey made me believe he is the final boss in my first playthrough. Wouldn't have been mad about that.
That would literally make no sense because he has nothing to do with the elden ring
What i like about this fight is that Godfrey faces you at the last possible moment in your journey. Cut dialogue seems to imply he was onto Marika's plan to break the elden ring, so if he is truly in support of the golden order is up for debate. But we do know one thing he wants more than anything is a worthy opponent to fight. So he waits right before the end of our quest where we will be at our strongest. And when he is defeated, he congratulates us and says we're worthy of becoming lord.
Malenia: Demi-goddess of rot

Listen to this at the gym when you're pumping iron. Feel that inner GIGACHAD STRENGTH BUILD.
The First Giga Chad
The Vendrick fight we deserved
A true God Of War boss
Jokes aside his line of "A crown is warranted with strength" is really inspirational for me.
I always knew that I would only reach my goals in life by gaining not physical strength but strength of character. The strength to persevere and not give up on ones's dream, I really treasure that thought. After all... In the days of old a crown was warranted with strength
ah the perfect music to be grabbed by a lobster to
"never met someone with a taste for prawn I couldn't trust"
Only true hollows will get this
@@simondigruber2111 They make such nice trailers
Dodging his phase one moves and attacking between almost every swing just to dodge at the last moment made me feel so badass.
Watching the cutscene is a necessity for me specifically for 0:08 because the chorus goes silent, while the instruments create some build up and when the dark screen finishes loading godfrey attacks and the chorus comes back again.
Man No wonder the Crucible Knights were formidable they got a Gigachad teacher they probably learned the Stomp the hard way too lol
I imagine the crucible knights being yeeted out from the capital by Godfrey after they fail to do the stomp "Thou shall learn again in thy next age! *Yeet*"
Of all the Demi-gods, the one that’s a “true” warrior is simply just a man. a REAL man with a strength build. Instead of powering up and going crazy like the others, he tosses the armor off and goes ham. “AND ITS HOARAH LOUX WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!”
The theme perfectly encapsulates the station of The First Elden Lord
Godfrey never skipped leg day, but his subordinates, the Crucible Knights did, and it shows...
Godfrey just gives me gym vibes. Is too funny to watch him literally lifting the ground, causing immense shockwaves and using that huge axe like it's lighter than a toothpick
He's wearing a headband because about to set a PR, on the chosen tarnished's head
weird concept i thought of is that you and him go take on radagon and the elden beast but after the battle you fight each other to see who really becomes elden lord.
tbf though the concept id pretty flawed in some manners but i think itd be cool to fight with godfrey.
1:09 "Godfrey! Godfrey!"
Pro kip
Pro tip
But I did think it was Godfrey too at first
0:00 upon my name as Godfrey the first elden lord
This is always what I imagine fighting Gwyn in his prime is like.
Just mix in the occasional sunlight spear and yeah, I’d agree w you
Sounds like they're chanting Godfrey at one point, and if so thats awesome
Upon my name as Godfrey, the First Elden Lord
''Loud and hard didst thou fight'' Tarnished Warrior.
Have you ever had to fight for the last parking stall, win, roll down your windows and yell “T’was nobly fought!”?
That's how it feels to drive the Ford F-150
A quebra de expectativa ao ver esse boss como o suposto boss final foi incrível. De fato, n ficaria triste se ele fosse realmente o último boss. Em um jogo onde ao longo de toda a nossa jornada derrotamos inúmeros seres mitológicos, semi-deuses e os escambau, ter um boss assim na reta final foi do caralho slk
1:07 to 1:19 made me realize I’m fighting one of the best bosses I’ve ever fought in video games
An honorable duel between two Tarnished champions.
They really pulled an anime move with this guy having the giant impressive lion actually suppressing his true power. Love it.
I have fought every boss in every souls game except sekiro (and tbh, I don’t count sekiro as a souls game, it’s quite it’s seperate thing imo)
And this guy is top 5 material quite easily. And that for a base game boss is absolutely immaculate 🫶
His voicelines, the entire fight (I slightly preferred the order, yet continuous pressure in phase 1 vs the chaotic pressure in phase 2), the OST, the ambience, everything just WORKS. If only it wasn’t followed up with the lackluster elden beast. Don’t get me wrong, elden beast is still pretty solid. But compared to Radagon & Chadfrey, Elden Beast just feels disappointing 😭
Best boss in the entire game, no fancy, anime-shit type of moves like Malenia or Maliketh, just a absolute chad with a giant axe, the fight itself is well telegraphed and gives you many openings for punishment, classic souls boss formula
no you are far from right but today everyone seems to play either op or summon so who is a guy with longsword trying to get trough these bs aoe combo chains :p
I don't know how many people will agree on me,but godfrey should have been the final boss,imagine,just after you kill a literal god,you come back to reclaim your throne,and he stands there,just a man,no demigod or god,as he challenges you,to see if you really are worthy of elden lord's title,also,the sky should change depending on the ending you chose,I know it wouldn't be fitting for some endings but it would be sick as fuck,and in my opinion,a much better way to end the game.
Play this at my funeral and I'm poppin out that coffin in phase 2 shaking pictures off the wall.
The vibe of a GIGACHAD
He put 95 levels on strength on his playthrough
thank you
Sounds like an enhanced version of Yhorm's theme
Godfrey the first gigachad
Chadfrey the First GigaChad deserved that full health second phase, instead of rotslut of a brocon Malenia.
almost all bosses in Elden Ring: armament
Hoarah Loux: catch these hands
Gigachad theme
I wish the lion had a much bigger part in the boss fight
If you read through the lore, you'd know the lion was never meant to fight. It is a restriction imposed upon godfrey
@@jonasfadi8213 I meant like maybe it gives Godfrey a temporary buff or it gives you a temporary debuff the only thing it gives is a more intimidating look
@@Archdeacon.Krieg. it does, he uses its power to do his AOE stomps with the white energy (I think)
@@spookytown7963 I was mainly thinking of it giving something like warcry to Godfrey and giving you a attack debuff or defense debuff because I think the aoe thing is phase 2 and the cutscene sends it to phase 3
@@Archdeacon.Krieg. like Greyoll's Roar in that dragon fight in Caelid?
Andre's final form has been unleashed. Noone is safe.
this theme is so fucking good
Fighting this guy felt like fighting Zeus
It’s Been A Long While, Morgott…
😭😭😭😭😭😭
long and hard didst thou fight. TARNISHED WARRIOR!
Spurned by the grace of gold.
Be asured the elden ring, resteth close at hand.
*"PRIMO DOMINE!"* AND "BARBARICO, HOARAH LOUX!"
My favorite moment of the entire game was slow-walking towards him, and he slow-walked towards me, and we were very nearly in each other's faces before he finally raised his axe to attack.
0:15 to 0:29 *misheard* *lyrics*
🎵 *hey*
*your mom*
*do me*
*mom say*
*He!!!!!*
*Though...*
*Was a papa!*
*Love me, refugio!* 🎵
If you want to know what they lyrics for that part are, they are
Hedo patu pinose
Pito prate na pa
To pi itu femito
It doesn't translate into nothing...
Tarnished warrior. Twas nobly fought
one true chad of the Elden Ring
brave tarnished, thy strength befits a crown
0:19 HE HAS THE BANANA
Bro pulled up and said on GANG only one of us is walking away
Dude is the reincarnation of Iudex Gundyr
Let's be honest, if we had the choice to fight him whilst the monologue, we wouldn't.
Чёрт, как же чертовски круто эта тема подчёркивает этого тестостеронового старика!
"Great Godfrey, didst thou witness??"
I wish his phase 2 fight was more like the 1st except ridiculously harder instead of him going full wwe mode 💀. Still top 5 boss.
Like the introduction to His shade theme around halfway through the theme
i want him as a father, he looks way better as a parent figure than mines
Just make sure you dont have a god as mother or look ugly lol
Then he stomps
He was the only one that truly loved Morgott, even though literally everyone else including the Erdtree itself hates/is terrified of him because he's an Omen. He's the only one that truly lays Morgott to rest after you defeat him. He gives respect even to his enemies if they are strong enough to challenge him. I'd say he's prime dad material
@@phantasmalphoenix2990 and he even kill his pet lion guardian that limit his bloodlust, to show respect to us(Tarnished) by fighting with no limit.
really wish the good bosses were spread out more, I hate that I have to play through most of the long game to get to the good fights
They are tho...
Margit, Godrick and Rennala - Early Game
Rykard, Radahn, Astel, Mohg, Morgott and Fortissax - Mid Game
Fire Giant, Maliketh, Malenia, Placidusax, Godfrey and Radagon/Elden Beast - Late Game
Then there are also great and decent Boss/Mini Boss encounters between them
@@malinenh01 Fire Giant , Malenia and Elden beast are not good fights.
@@Ryuxun How so?
@@Ryuxun fire giant is a great but easy fight. Malenia is one of the best bosses from soft ever made (she teaches you that you have to git gud, no way around it) and Elden beast is one of the most visually jaw droping bosses ever
@@Ryuxun malenia is good
The other 2 I agree with you
Other demi-gods and other bosses are either broken or on the edge of death. While Godfrey over here pretty much still in his prime
I don't think he is still in his prime.
@@Lepoetism he objectively is
@@devdadude9274 No, you are not, bro.
@@Lepoetism how am I not?
Thy have Reach lv100 strength

Everybody thought the First Elden Lord was a pushover. Godfrey? The golden shade guy? Easy boss!
Horoah Loux does not suffer the same treatment.
0:01 - 0:28 is the best part
Although he isn't my favoeite fight in the whole game, the trophy of "most badass cutscenes" goes to this absouloute chad
