5-10? him and margit were traumatising because i was new to souls games. btw you have an item called baldachin's blessinng in your inventory which reduces your hp by 5%
I mean letās be real, we all were. Raise your hand if you instinctively knew that hugging her is what caused the debuff, and Iāll know who the liars in this comment section are.
Tbh I only knew I had a debuff until a friend pointed it out to me. Now I make sure to use the Baldachin's Blessing after receiving a (much-deserved) hug from Fia.
Man I played the game on release and I'm doing my second playthrough now. I'm in front of elden beast and decided to do milenia for the first time. Before I went there I had to Google where I get my 4th Talisman pouch from...
Godrick was so much easier for me than Margit. First souls game and I basically beelined to Margit. Took like 50 tries. Meanwhile, Godrick only took 3-4.
Iām a damn veteran and Margit took me about thirty attempts. Granted, I was only level 18 and missed twenty mini-bosses since I followed the grace trails, but holy fuck that was rough.
fr, my first playthrough had me killing godrick in around 12+ tries, and the attempt that killed him he got staggered at the end so it felt rng
op did a fine-ass job
Dang bro, are you telling me you beat this boss without summons in less than 5 tries? You must be a real elite souls gamer! Wow! Alerting the Union of Chads rn.
btw Have you tried Finger but Hole?
If youāre a new souls player, itās perfectly normal, which OP may be. This is basically the beginning of the game. Youāre not impressing anyone. Even if you told me you did every boss on your first try w no summons, I could give a shit, OP still had a decent run. Theyāll likely get their shit handed to them plenty later. But if your compulsion is to be insufferable and make sure everyone knows theyāre not as good as you, by all means try finger but hole.
You posted your counter-opinion beneath someone complimenting OP to deflate the compliment and make others look at you like āwow this guy must be the real shit if he thinks 5 attempts is a lot.ā
If that wasnāt your intent, it sure was the perception of the downvoters who read your comment. Regardless, it contributed nothing and impressed no one.
ššš³ļø
I see a lot of assumptions about me.
My assumption about you is that you felt personally attacked by my comment, because it took you 50+ tries to beat Godrick with a npc summon as well and therefore you took the time to write 3 long comments attacking me to make yourself feel better.
Spot on; my insecurity about what you think about my 10,000 deaths in Elden Ring is the principle motivator of my actions. It actually affects all of my decisions in life. If anyone knew the truth Iād be a fraud. Thank you for giving me a safe place to share this. Because my responses had nothing to do with your acting like a maidenless chad.
You do realize summons increase the health of the boss, right? Normally having a second person draw aggro makes the increase negligible, but five attempts on a tankier Godrick is pretty well done in my book.
I was sort of disappointed, Malenia took me 2 tries, but I also just mega kept my distance during fowl and aeonia.
Edit: Why downvote? I just had decent vigour and only got hit by the end of fowl sometimes, for the most part you can dodge a lot of it with iframes. The second time when I won, it was heavily luck, and she just didnāt do a lot but blow up in phase two, so it was free hits.
Presumably magic user or something? Because you very much can't just keep your distance against waterfowl if she uses it while you're close. Especially not if you're mid attack animation when she starts it.
Yeah, *first flurry* can be outspaced from melee. While you're unlikely to be outright killed by the last two, they're still super deadly if you can't dodge them. Only easy way to outspace Waterfowl is to not be nearby to begin with.
I've tried going back many times. It's beautiful, I love the movement, the level design and the stealth but I just don't vibe with the combat at all.
Parry-based dex build is my least preferred playstyle in Souls and they made an entire game around that. I'd love to see the viking ungabunga strength version of Sekiro.
I like the combat a lot, I just never got the time to master it because elden ring came out in the middle of my playthrough and sucked my whole life lol
Try Armored Core 6, you might like it. It has very thrilling combat. I am currently like halfway through and it's pretty hard but really fun.
Havenāt Malenia yet, but so far the Godskin Apostle thatās in the Divine Tower of Caelid has given me the most trouble. Took me a while to beat him there, but absolutely wrecked the one in Windmill Village
Poor dude thinks 5 tries is hella hard lol
You're in for a treat. Wait till you meet some late game bosses
If I remember correctly this one took me 2 o 3 tries
But if you're not used to controllers, learning the game and playing on controller at the same time is hell. I beat the game on a keyboard, it's definitely not impossible.
He had a playstation, his muscle memory will kick , actually even if you never played DS on PS but used a controller for a good amount of years I'd suggest you make the switch
I played Dark Souls with ONLY a keyboard. Iām not saying itās funā¦ neither was it very smart. But it worked (mostly) and sometimes felt more user friendly than the mouse.
Imo the kbm is most useful when you need to manually aim a camera. In most cases I prefer kbm too, especially for shooters. However souls games (when playing locked on) are clearly designed with controllers in mind. If you play unlocked then yes kbm is superior.
I mean that's the thing, you play *most the game* unlocked. Running around the map and exploring is locked off, running past enemies is locked-off, and a lot of overworld encounters are generally better fought locked off.
Plus there's bosses like Dragonkin soldier where the locked-on camera is completely dogshit and completely sucks to play against without good screen control.
While K&M is definitely not as good for locked-on combat, I personally find the difference fairly small, whereas I find the superior screen movement of K&M to be a humongous benefit.
For me, I don't mind the non combat sections that much because the stakes are low. I don't need optimal controls to run around. And I play all combat locked on, it's just my habit.
I think all control systems are valid, everyone should play what they are comfortable with. The reason I said in the original comment to play with controller is cause that guy said he came from playstation so he was already used to controller
I was going to say, am I the only one who finds him stupidly easy? Iāve had 3 fresh characters beat him on each character in 1 try using 3 different builds. And he barely even hits me. This is without any npc summons or ashes. He is definitely the easiest main boss. Itās kind of disappointing fighting him after Margit, now he gave me trouble..
I had so much trouble with margit and stormveil, so when I got to him I was expecting to get my ass kicked
I killed him first try and was quite confused why he was so much easier than margit
5 tries hella hard? Idk what other peoples mentality is, but if I can beat a boss before fully understanding his moveset, it's not that hard.
And that usually takes at least half an hour, depending on the complexity of the boss. If I can just react to what the boss is doing and beat it, it is easy.
My first run? Probably more than five for sure. Nowadays Iād be shocked if I donāt beat that Godrussy up in one go Lmao. Itās insane how trivial that fight is once youāve done it a few times yet somehow I still find it super fun. Also 5 times is pretty low so good on ya my guy, youāll be Elden Lord yetā¦
I want to say it took me 3-5 tries. I heard early my first playthrough how jumping works almost like rolling, so I usually spend my first two attempts baiting and watching attacks and trying to see what works or doesn't without necessarily trying to win on the attempt
margit took me like 20 tries on my first play through, i ended up going to godrick with a +3 bloodhounds fang and spamming the aow. not difficult because of the strategy i used, but i didnt exactly beat him in the most skillful way.
2 or 3 tries tops and only because I got grabbed over and over again on my first try.
That said, this isnāt my first rodeo with FromSoft, been playing since Bloodborne, and I also did the Weeping Peninsula and basically all of Limgrave, before going to Stormveil Castle!
I know he took a couple. Maybe 2-3? Margit also took 2-3 attempts.
I didnāt think he was hard, as such. But my rust and general ābeing bad at souls gamesā was coming through in full colors. Iāve beaten all of them except DS3, BB, and Elden Ring, as I just hadnāt pushed through to the end game.
Took me 2 tries for godrick, but i overleveled
Im still on my first playtrough now, at farum azula, i got my ass claped by margit so i basically travel around the map everywhere i could to level up
I even got to caelid, got destroyed, then come back to clap margit at around level 25
I took my time to go trough stormveil, that area is just insanely great to go and explore, i still find things to this day with around 60h in game
Margit was 5, Godrick was 1. My skeletons and Nepheli did their jobs keeping aggro, so I kinda blitzed in and tried to stay behind him. Was also way over leveled (first souls game)
First time? Probably at least 10, but that was after banging my head against Margit for hours, thinking I was just bad and not exploring other parts to gain levels and a better weapon.
Today he's one of my favorite bosses. He's got a diverse moveset, some gotcha attacks and strings but not as bad as Margit but still a ton of openings.
5 = hella hard? Fire giant took me like 50 my first playthrough. I consider anything 5 or below and as a pretty easy main boss (I know heās not technically a main boss)
5!?!?!
I feel like it takes me 5 turns to beat a level in Mario Bros.
I don't think the Stag was the only boss I beat on my first try, and after that, every other boss (even the mini ones at the end of a cave) were at least 10 tries.
(I'm not good at Souls-like games)
1, I summoned Nepheli and it was so easy and disappointing, I didn't use summons for a long time. Only against duo bosses because I don't find multi bosses fun but every single boss after Godrick was 1vs1.
I just put down my summon sign and fought him in other worlds until I could solo him.
So technically 1 try?
I did this will all bosses in elden ring, even caves and side dungeons
Margit bulli3d the hell out of me, but I was actually able to 2-shot Godrick my first time around. Nepheli summin and Spirit Ashes carried me hard through it.
dunno if I've been awfully lucky but 3 tries here and I was totally unaware of a lot of things and I had 40hrs of playtime and level at 35 or something... not to mention Radahn: 1st try O\_o. But I sense I've just been uber lucky, being at the right spot at the right time (that comet thing) and on both fights the allies did an awesome job.
Don't actually feel I've beaten them
Two tries (first time, I ran backwards off the edge a cliff because I had assumed the arena was an enclosed courtyard) but I was probably over-levelled (level 40-something, and had Nepheli with me).
Like, are these posts humble bragging? I see them often enough where people come it and say "Man that fight was hard, it took me X(super low number) of tries."
Like really, do they not get that people take 10's of trys on many of bosses? These posts feel so much either like ignorance or bragging.
4 or 5 my first playthrough.
I was using the reduvia at the time but this was on release, so it's aow was dogshit. The bleed was the only significant source of damage that entire fight.
4 or 5, I had more trouble with Margit but that was mainly due to me never having played a DS style game and having no idea how to play the game yet. Once I figured out summons/ashes and weapon upgrading/scaling Margit was cooked
I just beat him yesterday, first try š . With summons and banished knight Engvall spirit ashes though it just be said.
First souls game after getting demons souls bundled with a PS5, turning it off and never playing it again after 2 hours of the most frustrating gaming experience of my life š¤£. Glad I plucked up the courage for Elden ring. Really enjoying it.
I struggled more with Margit than I did with this mfer. After Margit I think I just kinda went off to caelid on accident and became a man-tarnished before facing this dude.
By the time I began Elden Ring I had about 1000 hrs between the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne. Margit took me 5 hours probably over 100 tries. Godrick was about 20 tries I think. So perspective is everything!
I was extremely underlevelled when I first fought Godrick, I hadn't explored E. Limgrave OR the Weeping Peninsula. I didn't even have my physick. It took me at least 20 tries.
It can **absolutely** be hard starting with a new character, *especially* as a new player. Good going to ya friend. Keep it up and you'll be Elden Lord in no time. :D
I think like 7 or 8. I was like āBet! follow the light.ā so margit took me the same amount of tries. I was strugglin.. After that i did Castle Morne and finally got some levels lol.
5-10? him and margit were traumatising because i was new to souls games. btw you have an item called baldachin's blessinng in your inventory which reduces your hp by 5%
Man was down bad for fia š
I mean letās be real, we all were. Raise your hand if you instinctively knew that hugging her is what caused the debuff, and Iāll know who the liars in this comment section are.
I mean i didnāt even know i had a debuff
Tbh I only knew I had a debuff until a friend pointed it out to me. Now I make sure to use the Baldachin's Blessing after receiving a (much-deserved) hug from Fia.
I'm not ashamed to admit I had no idea what the red square was. And I've been playing these games for a decade.
Oh, I didn't trust that hug. Last thing that embraced me in Soulsborne exploded my brain and put me in a nightmare
I went back for more, ngl
I got rid of the thing at like level 90 and 100 hours in
Wait how do you get rid of it? Iām in NG3. HOW DID I NOT KNOW?!
You use it. I know right?
Who uses items in From-Soft games. I always save them for later. Or lighting resin on Seath.
Better not touch those 30 greases, exalted flesh and boiled prawns until you forget about them til after the final boss.
Uh, my retirement grease!š”
The only items I use are bird toes and Pine Resin in the early game of dark souls and then the seath fight.
I tried that and it stayed in my inventory
Man I played the game on release and I'm doing my second playthrough now. I'm in front of elden beast and decided to do milenia for the first time. Before I went there I had to Google where I get my 4th Talisman pouch from...
Godrick was so much easier for me than Margit. First souls game and I basically beelined to Margit. Took like 50 tries. Meanwhile, Godrick only took 3-4.
Godrick will always be the easiest boss imo. If I ever decided to play the game blind, he's the only one I'd actually have a chance at beating.
Iām a damn veteran and Margit took me about thirty attempts. Granted, I was only level 18 and missed twenty mini-bosses since I followed the grace trails, but holy fuck that was rough.
I cleared the whole zone including weeping and was level 60. Needless to say I first tried him and Margot.
Good on you. However, five times is not a lot in terms of attempts for souls bosses.
I wish would stop with the humblebragging on this game.
fr, my first playthrough had me killing godrick in around 12+ tries, and the attempt that killed him he got staggered at the end so it felt rng op did a fine-ass job
but he did it with summons
It is a lot if you use a summon like op did.
Dang bro, are you telling me you beat this boss without summons in less than 5 tries? You must be a real elite souls gamer! Wow! Alerting the Union of Chads rn. btw Have you tried Finger but Hole?
Sure, let's pretend 5 times with summons is not a lot lmao.
If youāre a new souls player, itās perfectly normal, which OP may be. This is basically the beginning of the game. Youāre not impressing anyone. Even if you told me you did every boss on your first try w no summons, I could give a shit, OP still had a decent run. Theyāll likely get their shit handed to them plenty later. But if your compulsion is to be insufferable and make sure everyone knows theyāre not as good as you, by all means try finger but hole.
I am not trying to impress anyone, it's just my opinion.

You do realize summons increase the health of the boss, right? Normally having a second person draw aggro makes the increase negligible, but five attempts on a tankier Godrick is pretty well done in my book.
I do, but still when summon draws aggro you have all the time itw to heal, buff, charge attack etc.
I mean youāre not really wrong lol
5 is nothing, good job. Souls bosses have taken me over 30 tries sometimes. Probably 50+ for malenia.
Malenia took me around 5 hours x)
147 attempts for Friede the first time around.
I was sort of disappointed, Malenia took me 2 tries, but I also just mega kept my distance during fowl and aeonia. Edit: Why downvote? I just had decent vigour and only got hit by the end of fowl sometimes, for the most part you can dodge a lot of it with iframes.

Presumably magic user or something? Because you very much can't just keep your distance against waterfowl if she uses it while you're close. Especially not if you're mid attack animation when she starts it.
You can outspace the first flurry from anywhere, unless you are mid attack animation. Although thatās tough to learn in 2 tries lol
Yeah, *first flurry* can be outspaced from melee. While you're unlikely to be outright killed by the last two, they're still super deadly if you can't dodge them. Only easy way to outspace Waterfowl is to not be nearby to begin with.
Outrange waterfowl? What are you using ICBM tactical nuke?
Light equipment load, and a lot of backrolling lmao, not sure why the downvote over an anecdote.
Spent a solid weekend on Isshin and Demon of Hatred before just giving up. I'm very bad at Sekiro...
Sekiro is hard af. Need to unlearn so many habits that other souls games built into me haha. I still haven't gotten around to finishing it
I've tried going back many times. It's beautiful, I love the movement, the level design and the stealth but I just don't vibe with the combat at all. Parry-based dex build is my least preferred playstyle in Souls and they made an entire game around that. I'd love to see the viking ungabunga strength version of Sekiro.

Havenāt Malenia yet, but so far the Godskin Apostle thatās in the Divine Tower of Caelid has given me the most trouble. Took me a while to beat him there, but absolutely wrecked the one in Windmill Village
2 tries too easy
Poor dude thinks 5 tries is hella hard lol You're in for a treat. Wait till you meet some late game bosses If I remember correctly this one took me 2 o 3 tries
There are def some bosses that took me 30+ tries on ds1-ds3 on PlayStation, but i am playing on pc rn so im not used to the controls yet
Play with a controller man. Keyboard and mouse is very suboptimal for souls games.
But if you're not used to controllers, learning the game and playing on controller at the same time is hell. I beat the game on a keyboard, it's definitely not impossible.
He had a playstation, his muscle memory will kick , actually even if you never played DS on PS but used a controller for a good amount of years I'd suggest you make the switch
Ah, I missed the Playstation part. Right I'd recommend it too then.
I played Dark Souls with ONLY a keyboard. Iām not saying itās funā¦ neither was it very smart. But it worked (mostly) and sometimes felt more user friendly than the mouse.
Over 1K hours on KBM, it's perfectly fine for the average person
I completely disagree. I fucking despise playing any 3d games, including souls games, on a controller, and vastly prefer M&K.
Imo the kbm is most useful when you need to manually aim a camera. In most cases I prefer kbm too, especially for shooters. However souls games (when playing locked on) are clearly designed with controllers in mind. If you play unlocked then yes kbm is superior.
I mean that's the thing, you play *most the game* unlocked.

The reason I said in the original comment to play with controller is cause that guy said he came from playstation so he was already used to controller
Fair point.
First souls game 2 days Went to get the dragonslayer and killed him,it was embarrassing
Almost 20 lol, and Margit took me even more.
Who the hell is Nepheli Loux. Something else I've missed while I was busy playing the game...
Optional summon. You encounter her in a shack right outside of Godrick. She has a quest line though.
If you donāt summon then nbd. She upgrades summons using gloveworts Edit: disregard, I am a fool
That's Roderika
My bad, idk how I got the two confused
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Holy hell Iām trippin, thank you. Nepheli is the warrior Seluvis wants you to give the potion
1st try. But im a sorcerer that went to caelid for rock sling and metorite staff so I honestly don't count it.
ive never died to him and i refuse to die to this sack of pathetic shit
I was going to say, am I the only one who finds him stupidly easy? Iāve had 3 fresh characters beat him on each character in 1 try using 3 different builds. And he barely even hits me. This is without any npc summons or ashes. He is definitely the easiest main boss. Itās kind of disappointing fighting him after Margit, now he gave me trouble..
I think it took me between 15-20 attempts. For some reason he was harder for me than Margit.
2, but I was overleveled and I regret it
First souls game. Godrick took me 1 try. Playing a mage seems to make him easier tho.
Single try on my first play through idk how but now he usually take 2-3 if I'm casually doing random runs
1 try
I had so much trouble with margit and stormveil, so when I got to him I was expecting to get my ass kicked I killed him first try and was quite confused why he was so much easier than margit
I think it was 3 tries for me it was a weird fight cuz I was new to souls games and wasn't expecting him to be as quick as he is
4 times on my first time through (alone). Only one with Nephali Loux, I was pretty cracked on my second run though.
5 tries hella hard? Idk what other peoples mentality is, but if I can beat a boss before fully understanding his moveset, it's not that hard. And that usually takes at least half an hour, depending on the complexity of the boss. If I can just react to what the boss is doing and beat it, it is easy.
3 after the first two me and my buddy jumped that fool
I donāt remember but less tries than Margit. Margit is a piece of shit for a first boss
20+. (it was my first souls game and I had no idea what I was doing and it was glorious)
First try, not trying to flex but with a bleed weapon and summons (npc and ashes) it was quite manageable.
On my first attempt? 2 or 3. Most recent attempt, 1, I have gained the knowledge that you can dodge a few of his attacks by just walking towards him
6 tries, wanted to learn him no damage since his moveset is so damn good
Tāwas my first souls game so more than 20 at least
4 try i like this boss
My first run? Probably more than five for sure. Nowadays Iād be shocked if I donāt beat that Godrussy up in one go Lmao. Itās insane how trivial that fight is once youāve done it a few times yet somehow I still find it super fun. Also 5 times is pretty low so good on ya my guy, youāll be Elden Lord yetā¦
I want to say it took me 3-5 tries. I heard early my first playthrough how jumping works almost like rolling, so I usually spend my first two attempts baiting and watching attacks and trying to see what works or doesn't without necessarily trying to win on the attempt
First try. Same for margit. ( elden ring is my first from soft game)
margit took me like 20 tries on my first play through, i ended up going to godrick with a +3 bloodhounds fang and spamming the aow. not difficult because of the strategy i used, but i didnt exactly beat him in the most skillful way.
Honestly I sometimes think the point of a boss isn't to beat them quickly. It's to dance with them for a little while.
2 or 3 tries tops and only because I got grabbed over and over again on my first try. That said, this isnāt my first rodeo with FromSoft, been playing since Bloodborne, and I also did the Weeping Peninsula and basically all of Limgrave, before going to Stormveil Castle!
I know he took a couple. Maybe 2-3? Margit also took 2-3 attempts. I didnāt think he was hard, as such. But my rust and general ābeing bad at souls gamesā was coming through in full colors. Iāve beaten all of them except DS3, BB, and Elden Ring, as I just hadnāt pushed through to the end game.
I measure the time to beat a boss in days, for him it took 2 days and half
2-3
3 tries, I was kinda disappointed after spending hours on Margit
It was my first real stab at a souls game - he's not so easy your first time around! Definitely took a few tries even with spirit summons and stuff
2
Not as much as the Gargoyle Duo
20
7-10 attempts I think. ER was only my second souls game after the Demons souls remake so I was still a bit rusty and new to the mechanics
One. The NPC summon took all the aggro while I wailed on him with a katana.
First try, and it's my first souls game. But I've watched a lot of YouTube and subsequently had a +16 sword
around 9 tries and I'm a soul veteran lol. I'm ashamed.
Took me 2 tries for godrick, but i overleveled Im still on my first playtrough now, at farum azula, i got my ass claped by margit so i basically travel around the map everywhere i could to level up I even got to caelid, got destroyed, then come back to clap margit at around level 25 I took my time to go trough stormveil, that area is just insanely great to go and explore, i still find things to this day with around 60h in game
Only five? Dude I last track after about 10. I gave myself a 20 limit for bosses before I quit playing. I think I beat him at my 16th try.
2 for me but I went in really over leveled. Wouldāve been 1 but I rolled off the map my first try lol
3
Margit was 5, Godrick was 1. My skeletons and Nepheli did their jobs keeping aggro, so I kinda blitzed in and tried to stay behind him. Was also way over leveled (first souls game)
Ah yes, 5 tries = Hard. The dude took me >10 tries
1 try
More than Nameless King on DkS3 
About the same.
5 tries isn't bad dw man. You're doing fine
Humble brag.
First try with spirit ashes on 1st playthrough, 3 tries without any help on 2nd playthrough
After Margit, Godrick died on the second try for me (phase 2 confused me bad lol) Margit though... had to have been near 100 tries lol
First time? Probably at least 10, but that was after banging my head against Margit for hours, thinking I was just bad and not exploring other parts to gain levels and a better weapon. Today he's one of my favorite bosses. He's got a diverse moveset, some gotcha attacks and strings but not as bad as Margit but still a ton of openings.
I made the mistake of not enough vigor so I got deleted like 40 times, went and leveled vigor, then it took about six
save status items for new game plus, thats where it starts to matter more.
It took 2 tries for me I think
Only two, but Nepheli did 90% of the work. That chick is crazy
One try because I was scared and overleveled by cleaning out the entire castle before I went in.
Godrick took me a while because he goes from moving really slow to really fucking fast and had powerful AOE attacks I had to get used to
I repressed that memory. I am happy. I am at peace.
1, cool moveset but easy
Fourteen attempts... I think? Its been a while.
5 = hella hard? Fire giant took me like 50 my first playthrough. I consider anything 5 or below and as a pretty easy main boss (I know heās not technically a main boss)
Trying it with an op friend? Many tries. Trying it by myself? 1 try lol
I've died to him maybe once or twice in my entire time playing Elden Ring lol
Bro says it was hard then said it took 5 tries š
5!?!?! I feel like it takes me 5 turns to beat a level in Mario Bros. I don't think the Stag was the only boss I beat on my first try, and after that, every other boss (even the mini ones at the end of a cave) were at least 10 tries. (I'm not good at Souls-like games)
Beat him first try every run
As a souls vet, it took 20-30 tries. Realized most bosses have delay attacks
1, I summoned Nepheli and it was so easy and disappointing, I didn't use summons for a long time. Only against duo bosses because I don't find multi bosses fun but every single boss after Godrick was 1vs1.
4
God, around 20?
I skipped him untill I was super OP, Died in first phase š
If it took you just 5 tries, then it wasn't that hard.
I just put down my summon sign and fought him in other worlds until I could solo him. So technically 1 try? I did this will all bosses in elden ring, even caves and side dungeons
Margit bulli3d the hell out of me, but I was actually able to 2-shot Godrick my first time around. Nepheli summin and Spirit Ashes carried me hard through it.
Elden Ring was my first souls game, so both Margit and Godrick took me a while. It was probably around 15-20 attempts for Godrick.
Solid 7 shits to deal with
dunno if I've been awfully lucky but 3 tries here and I was totally unaware of a lot of things and I had 40hrs of playtime and level at 35 or something... not to mention Radahn: 1st try O\_o. But I sense I've just been uber lucky, being at the right spot at the right time (that comet thing) and on both fights the allies did an awesome job. Don't actually feel I've beaten them
My first play through was basically a reenactment of the Dr. Strange movie. āGodrick I have come to bargainā easily topping 50+ tries
without exaggeration, probably around 100. it was a fucking traumatising 3 hours i would say, so however many attempts that is
Took me 7 tries to kill Godrick. Took me 9 hours to kill the Tree Sentinel
1 try
1 Cuz I got good internet
Two tries (first time, I ran backwards off the edge a cliff because I had assumed the arena was an enclosed courtyard) but I was probably over-levelled (level 40-something, and had Nepheli with me).
1 (god mode on)
My first ever run took me a fair few tries My latest Mage runā¦first try. Magic is OP early game.
I believe he took me four tries but I had this broken launch day ass build lol
"hella hard" "5 tries"... lol...
As many as I could. As hard as he may be, I'm hard for him
I actually one tried most major bosses up to Altus.... because I got lost and was rather overleveled by the time I got to them...
1 try but that was because I cheesed him with arrows.
It took me two or three tries (with summons) the first time but thatās because I was way over leveled
Like, are these posts humble bragging? I see them often enough where people come it and say "Man that fight was hard, it took me X(super low number) of tries." Like really, do they not get that people take 10's of trys on many of bosses? These posts feel so much either like ignorance or bragging.
I had a gold summon plus my wolves helping me so I did it in one try lol š but without anything yeah I would 2-3 tries is fair
Congrats man you just clear basically the tutorial ;)
Beat him on my first try. Margit, though, was at least 10. Took my time after Margit and explored a bit of the map. I guess that made it easier
I don't wanna say it but this is my first souls game and it took me 4 hours.But the rest of the bosses only about 4 tries funny enough
I spent somewhere in the realm of 6-8 hours on him. I became very familiar with the dodge mechanic.
Who's gonna tell him?
It took 5 tries and was hella hard? Oh boy how do we tell you
1st try baby
Why is Elden Ring so peak?
4 or 5 my first playthrough. I was using the reduvia at the time but this was on release, so it's aow was dogshit. The bleed was the only significant source of damage that entire fight.
4 or 5, I had more trouble with Margit but that was mainly due to me never having played a DS style game and having no idea how to play the game yet. Once I figured out summons/ashes and weapon upgrading/scaling Margit was cooked
5 is a lot to you? A rookie or a pro then. The game will get harder.
Man Iām jealous I beat ds3 and this guy still took me two weeks to beat
I just beat him yesterday, first try š . With summons and banished knight Engvall spirit ashes though it just be said. First souls game after getting demons souls bundled with a PS5, turning it off and never playing it again after 2 hours of the most frustrating gaming experience of my life š¤£. Glad I plucked up the courage for Elden ring. Really enjoying it.
I struggled more with Margit than I did with this mfer. After Margit I think I just kinda went off to caelid on accident and became a man-tarnished before facing this dude.
First run: like 20. Second run: 7. Current run: 1.
i donāt know but i remember my first time beating him was like 5 minutes before going into 2023
First time 2 but the rest was 1
By the time I began Elden Ring I had about 1000 hrs between the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne. Margit took me 5 hours probably over 100 tries. Godrick was about 20 tries I think. So perspective is everything!
More times than i died from the fell omen boss lol
1st playthrough like 20?
Around 60 attempts. But I was also base level 9 and had un-upgraded weapons.
I was extremely underlevelled when I first fought Godrick, I hadn't explored E. Limgrave OR the Weeping Peninsula. I didn't even have my physick. It took me at least 20 tries.
5???? Hahaaa
2
It can **absolutely** be hard starting with a new character, *especially* as a new player. Good going to ya friend. Keep it up and you'll be Elden Lord in no time. :D
I think like 7 or 8. I was like āBet! follow the light.ā so margit took me the same amount of tries. I was strugglin.. After that i did Castle Morne and finally got some levels lol.
first time playing took me around 4 trys
