How to Beat Elden Ring Godskin Noble Boss
Here are some tips and strategies to defeat the Godskin Noble:
- The Godskin Noble is immune to Death blight. But he is extremely susceptible or vulnerable to several status build-ups.
- These include hemorrhage or Blood Loss, Frostbite, Sleep, and Slash Damage. He is resistant to Strike damage, Fire damage, and Holy Damage.
- Keeping these factors in mind, you can use the Sleep Pots or Sleep Arrows to get hits. Once he is down, you can get as many hits for damage.
- While parrying is a bit complex for this boss fight, you can get critical hits by breaking his poise. So, time your dodges and rolls wisely.
- You can also go for combo attacks while fighting the Godskin Noble. But be wary of the Black Flame spell that can damage you over time if inflicted.
- Since the casting time is particularly slow as compared to Godskin Apostle, we recommend dodging it out of the way.
- He will move his left hand by his side before casting this spell. So, dodge out of the way when he casts Black Flame onto you.
- We would recommend maintaining a distance as you fight him. That’s because he can use different combos of delayed thrusts, swipes, and lots of stomping to cause damage.
- You cannot spam him with build-ups as he uses the Belly bump attack when you get too close. Although it doesn’t deal any damage, it can stagger or stun for a few moments.
- Alternatively, he can also use a Barrier or Belly roll to avoid the build-ups.
- So, avoid spamming the attacks and focus on looking for an opening. Once you find an opening, try to inflict any of the build-ups he is vulnerable to.
- If you have a Magic or Faith-based build, you can use several incantations at your disposal. Before starting with the boss fight, you can use the Terra Magicka or the Swarm of Flies.
- We recommend using the Swarm of Flies as it inflicts Blood Loss build-up. All you need to do for survival is time the rolls and dodges right.
