A user on Reddit demonstrated in a post how players can save a lot of frustration with one of the most annoying bosses in Elden Ring. The solution is surprisingly simple, yet many fans do not know it even after countless hours of gameplay.
Which boss is it? In one of the endgame areas, the Fallen Farum Azula, you encounter a boss that is essentially two in one. They call themselves Godskin Duo and consist of the Godskin Noble and the Godskin Apostle.
Both enemies appear earlier in other areas, but each time alone. In combination, they can make your life quite difficult – especially since the fight can quickly become unfair.
Two against one is never fair, and besides, the two deal significant damage. Getting help in the form of summons is one way to make the fight easier.
A Reddit user provided an additional tip on how to save some nerves before the fight even begins.
Here you can see the trailer for the upcoming expansion Shadow of the Erdtree – On MeinMMO, you can already find a preview report.
Sneaked Past the Boss
What is the trick? The Reddit user pegla43 shows in a video how you can skip the annoying run to the boss. While it is relatively short compared to early games in the Dark Souls series, it can still be frustrating if you need several attempts for the duo.
Moreover, the path is not free of enemies that might deal a hit or two to you in the worst case. This can result in already using a healing potion before you even enter the boss room.
Speaking of boss room: with few exceptions, boss fights in Elden Ring begin as soon as you enter the battle location. Most players probably thought it would be the same in this case.
However, pegla43 shows that it is possible to sneak past the bosses. The Reddit user goes through the door and walks along the wall on the right. This takes him to a grace site that most players probably discover only after the fight.
This way, you can conveniently heal at the checkpoint and prepare for the boss. Without any additional run, the fight can then be started.
How does the community react? Not always do tips and tricks from players go down well with the community. Recently, a user showed how he fights Malenia and received a lot of mockery for it.
In this case, however, it is different. Under the video on Reddit, there are many comments from amazed players. They write that they did not know this trick and have always run the entire way to the boss.
- “Saves lives,” simply writes Limp-Chip-3853.
- “Wtf!! why did I do it the normal way??” wonders Kloetenlars.
- “What the hell? Seriously, what the hell, when was this added to the game, how the hell,” says DickNixon11, sounding frustrated.
- “More than 500 hours in the game, and this is new to me,” writes mammal_shiekh.
You will still have to tackle the boss enemy, but at least the path to him is virtually non-existent. Did you already know this trick? How did you fight the Godskin Duo? Feel free to let us know in the comments. By the way, lead developer Hidetaka Miyazaki has nothing against guides and assistance – however, he wishes that you would refrain from them.
