👑 Godrick the Grafted
Godrick the Grafted is the final boss of Stormveil Castle and the first Shardbearer Demigod in Elden Ring. Arrogant and power-hungry, Godrick has grafted countless limbs to his body in a desperate attempt to claim strength and status.
This grotesque figure is a true test of your combat readiness beyond Limgrave.

⚔ Boss Strategy
🧠 General Tips
* Godrick's axe attacks have wide arcs and big wind-ups — dodge sideways, not backward. * His stomp attacks have AoE shockwaves — jump to avoid them. * Be cautious in Phase 2: the dragon arm attacks have extended range and fire effects.
🔥 Phase 1
* Uses a large golden axe and aggressive combos. * Key attacks:
- Horizontal axe combos (3–5 hits)
- Ground stomp with AoE quake
- Whirlwind with roll catch potential
🔥 Phase 2 (50% HP Trigger)
* Godrick grafts a dragon’s head to his arm, gaining fire attacks. * Key attacks:
- Dragon fire cone breath
- Dragon claw slam + fire burst
- Whirlwind → jumping slam → fire explosion
Use ranged attacks or Spirit Ashes to distract him and create distance when he uses fire-based moves.

📖 Lore
Godrick is a distant relation of Queen Marika and claims descent from the Golden Lineage. However, he is regarded as weak and delusional by other demigods. His obsession with grafting limbs reflects his desperation to become more powerful.
*“I command thee, kneel! I am the lord of all that is golden!”*
🧩 Trivia
* His voice lines and animation hint at his inferiority complex and need to be feared. * Nepheli Loux, who opposes Godrick, can be summoned to aid you in this battle.
