  • How To Beat The Hardest Boss In Elden Ring
    There are many players who do not know this boss even exists in Elden Ring... and they are lucky they don't. The Soldier of Godrick is a formidable adversary. Those unfortunate enough to have accidentally stumbled upon the Soldier of Godrick's domain have quit the game due to how powerful he is. This is considered one of the hardest boss fights in Elden Ring and all of the Fromsoft Souls-like games. Here is how you can finally beat him.

      I beat the tutorial in like 5 minutes and killed the soldier first try, you might not recognize me cause my gamer tag is “let me solo her” which is actually just a reference to a your mom joke, anyways the game has been so easy I beat the game and didn’t even remember this melina person you call a boss. The only reason I didn’t finish in 2 hours was cause I kept passing out irl, the games just too relaxing.

    Here's some SOG lore:
    Malenia and miquella combined their power to seal him away in that very cave. He could escape at anytime but he spends his time there to meditate.
    If he were free, godrick would've easily won against Malenia and took her great rune.
    Soldier of godrick could easily become elden lord and destroy godrick but he has a strong sense of honor and loyalty to his dear friend.
    He has a second fight in a super secret area you can only access by sacrificing your first born child
    and committing heinous acts against several Cambodian orphans.

      @@grogueQ you'll be looking for the button on the controller's back end. Presuming you're holding the controller properly(be careful, Soldier of Godrick has a telekenesis move where he twists it in your hands), you should be able to see four buttons facing the console. R1 is the button on the top-right of this set. However, while it does damage him, trying to use this move will cause him to start casting Dark Bead, so you need to be careful and time your moves with high precision. This method also allows you to skip phase seven and go straight from six to eight.

Some people recommend throwing the Kinect at him in phase four, but I think phase six is the best spot for it, as it gives you four more frames to react to his diss track.

    The reason why early game players struggle with this fight is cause the game doesnt tell you that you have to reach level max to have at least the smallest bit of chance to beating him. With that said, the Soldier of Godrick is stupidly difficult because 99.9% of people don’t know that HE has the elden ring all along

      he IS the elden ring

      He actually lords over the greater will, meaning you have to beat him to get any of the 'good' ending

    There’s another guide on how to get somber smithing stones 1-9 if you still couldn’t beat Soldier of Godrick after this tutorial. I was still struggling so I upgraded my weapon to level 9 and beat him after only 78 attempts

    Honestly I'm getting freaking TICKED off because you make it look so easy. Idk if things changed in patch 1.04, but I just keep getting stun lucked. I even decided to comb through Siofra and get the mimic tear. As soon as we jump into the air to try to crush him between our asses like a hydraulic press, he jumps up with one of those Sekiro anti-air attacks and just absolutely slaps my ass cheeks around before pushing me down a flight of stairs. Then he slides down the railing as if he was sonic the hedgehog grinding down a rail, and starts stepping on my with his boots on.

    It took me a year of hard work and introspection to learn how to dodge his instant death spin attack in Phase 78. You have be in the correct 1 pixel of area to the left of the arena to dodge it.

    He had to make a one shot build, because phase 2 would've been impossible

    I know you’re joking about this, but I had a friend come over who has never touched a game in his life, start with the thief class and struggle beating the soldier of godrick for 5 hours straight 😂😂
    Let me tell you something. Despite the words I used to let him know that there’s nothing wrong with dying and that he just started, I was backseat gaming like a mf. Watching it was so painful.

      There was quite a number of streamers who struggled with this soldier for real. I could barely watch it since all it takes are two backstabs and he's done but hey, lets watch them fight the soldier for 30-50 min

      This is actually me, but with wretched fighting farum azula beastman. I kept fighting the boss because the rune is trapped behind the mist, all 4k of it. I don't have the ability to level up yet, so I have to figure out the mechanics and get used to the battle. After 4 hours of trying to kill the same boss, I lost my runes. I got so pissed and just go out of the cave.

      @Death Inquisitor thanks, I didn't know that. I usually use cracked tear in the later game when that happen. I'm just sharing my gruesome early game experience, because this is my first souls game. But after 100hrs and beating the game, I come to appreciate the mechanics. This game actually feels rewarding once you overcome the difficulties.
