Elden Ring: 10 Most Difficult Bosses You'll Encounter

10. Godrick, The Grafted

Godrick is the first truly tough battle you’ll encounter in Elden Ring, and even though he's one of the first bosses, he poses a challenge and difficulty spike.

This is an enemy that uses the arms of his slaves as his own—equipping various weapons to them to create a wide range of attacks. Because of his close-quarters nature, dodging is the primary way you’ll get around him, but doing so becomes difficult due to his variety of moves.

Then we reach the second phase, where Godrick takes up an entire dragon head and uses it as a creative new weapon. Not only does this increase his damage, but it also gives him an entirely new arsenal of attacks to make your survival as least likely as possible, like breathing fire or surrounding himself with flames.

If you’re looking to defeat him, there are a few you should keep in mind. For his first phase, make sure to use range attacks like magic or bows to keep a distance, and then switch to a more melee-based approach for his second phase as his attacks are easier to dodge at close range.
