Reward for Defeating Godskin Duo

Defeating the Godskin Duo will grant you Runes (170,000), Smithing Stone Miner\’s Bell Bearing [4], and Ash of War: Black Flame Tornado.

General Tips

1. Fighting two bosses at once can be tough, so summon Ashes that are sturdy or focus on avoiding their attacks. Jellyfish, Tiche, Crystalian, and Knight Oleg are good choices.
2. Hiding behind pillars can help you dodge many of their attacks, such as the black flame ball or the boss rolling towards you.
3. If the bosses line up, you can attack both of them at once using magic or piercing weapons. You can use the ashes of war like Hoarfrost Stomp or Comet Azure.
4. Keep in mind that after taking damage from black flame, your HP will continue to drop. If you have low HP and take damage from this attack, heal yourself immediately.
5. After defeating one of the bosses, it will respawn. Your goal is to lower the boss\’s main HP bar, not defeat both opponents. They will keep reappearing until the boss\’s entire health bar is depleted.
6. You can make the fight easier by putting one of the enemies to sleep. Use the right grease or a spell with this effect.
7. The opponents are vulnerable to bleeding, poison, and scarlet rot. Remember to impose one of the aforementioned statuses.
8. You will enter the second stage of the fight after the bosses lose half of their HP, individually and not their shared HP value at the bottom of the screen.

Mage Build – How to Fight?

Before entering the arena, rest at a Site of Grace, then equip spells that deal AoE damage or pierce the target. If your intelligence is too low for more powerful spells, use the Shard Spiral, Glinstone Arc, Adula\’s Moonblade, or Carian Greatsword.

If you have around 60-70 Intelligence, equip spells such as Comet, Comet Azur, Rykard\’s Rancor, Ranni\’s Dark Moon, Rennala\’s Full Moon, and/or Meteorite of Astel.

Mix Wondrous Physick by adding the Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear and the Cerulean Hidden Tear while preparing. This will increase your magic potential without losing any mana for 10 seconds after drinking the potion.

After entering the arena, stand near the left side, at the last column. Try to make the bosses line up so that most of your spells will hit both enemies at the same time. Before using spells, summon the appropriate Ashes for help.

Once you are in the correct location, consume the Wondrous Physick. After that, when the bosses are in close proximity or in a straight line, use powerful spells like Comet Azure, Rykard\’s Rancor, or Meteorite of Astel.

If you are lacking those spells, use the weaker version of AoE spells. This won\’t deal as much damage as the stronger ones, but it\’s still a decent alternative.

If you defeat one of the bosses, there will be some time before the next one shows up. Keep in mind that the smaller version of the Godskin boss acquires a wider range of attacks by extending its body when its HP drops below 50%. In contrast, the larger version of the boss will roll more frequently and increase in size.

Remember to take cover behind the pillars as much as possible. They will shield you from most deadly attacks (but not all). Do this particularly when you need to heal yourself. The bosses typically cast a black flame ball when you heal close to them – a pillar can intercept the projectile.

Melee Build – How to Fight?

To even the odds a bit, use Ashes such as the Mimic Tear Ashes. Then, separate the opponents so that you can focus on a different target than your companion. You should also be as aggressive as possible to avoid prolonging the fight and risking the death of the summoned spirits.

Be cautious of the fire spell cast by the enemies. It inflicts a lot of damage on impact and continues to harm you until it dissipates. Hence, utilize the columns in the room as much as possible. They will shield you from attacks and assist in healing.

Keep in mind that the enemies\’ behavior changes when their individual health bars are halved. Their shared HP bar is irrelevant here, so if you are playing without companions, deal with one enemy at a time to avoid complicating the fight.

The key to victory is to pay attention to the enemies because even if you separate them, the other one will approach you quickly or attack you with fireballs. Therefore, you will have to dodge twice as much as you would otherwise. The columns in the room will also be destroyed if one of the bosses enters the second phase – if that happens, you will likely have to relocate.

The fight will conclude when you exhaust the main boss bar – until then, you will have to defeat the enemies repeatedly. If you eliminate one of them, you will have a moment to concentrate all your attention on the other enemy. Then, it is advantageous to make them lose their footing and execute a critical strike. This is one of the most challenging fights in the game, but it is doable, particularly if you utilize the possibilities provided by Elden Ring.
