Alas, I am returned. To be granted audience once more. Upon my name as Godfrey, The first Elden Lord!Godfrey, First Elden Lord

Hoarah Loux, Warrior, also known as Godfrey, First Elden Lord and the Lord of the Battlefield, is a mandatory boss in Elden Ring.

Overview[]

Godfrey is a former consort of Queen Marika the Eternal and the first Elden Lord of the Golden Order.[1][2] Although his actions directly shaped much of the history of the Lands Between, Queen Marika stole his grace and banished him to the badlands.

Both encounters with Godfrey are mandatory boss fights:

  1. The first encounter, Godfrey, First Elden Lord, is a golden phantom from the past that ambushes the player at Leyndell, Royal Capital. Defeating this Great Enemy boss unlocks the Sites of Grace Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace and grants a Talisman Pouch and access to Marika's Bedchamber.
  2. The second battle is at the Elden Throne in Leyndell, Ashen Capital. The real Godfrey, First Elden Lord transforms into Hoarah Loux, Warrior during the fight. Defeating this Legend boss grants the Remembrance of Hoarah Loux and access to the Stone Platform inside the Erdtree.

Background[]

Lord Godfrey was once known as Hoarah Loux,[3][4][5] a simple, yet ferocious warrior with a ceaseless lust for battle.[6] He was an unmatched champion who earned his right to Lordship through sheer strength. Later, he took the name Godfrey when he took the spirit of Serosh upon his back. The Lord of Beasts suppressed his rage,[7] allowing him to conduct himself in a manner befitting Marika's first Elden Lord.[8][9]

Age of the Erdtree[]

Godfrey led Marika's golden armies

Before it came to be an embodiment of Order, everything was in opposition to the Erdtree.[10] Godfrey led Marika's golden armies in the War Against the Giants,[11] a decisive conflict thay ended with the Giants' defeat and the confinement of the Fell God's Flame of Ruin.[12] This war heralded the birth of the Erdtree,[13] and the beginning of an age of Order ruled over by Marika and her Elden Lord.

The age of the Erdtree began amidst conflict, and Godfrey was regarded as the "Lord of the Battlefield."[14][11] He fought the Storm Lord alone and emerged the new lord of Stormveil. Later, during the siege of Castle Morne, Godfrey bested a lone hero who wielded a grafted blade and fought for vengeance.[15][16] Godfrey was commander of the Crucible Knights, and Ordovis and his men honored their master by wearing the crest of the axe, a symbol of Godfrey's.[17]

Godfrey and his offspring with Queen Marika were the first Demigods, known as the Golden Lineage.[18] His bond with Serosh became an emblem of this lineage,[19] guiding them as they conquered the Lands Between.[20] Godfrey's double-headed axe symbolized his warrior's vow of conduct and would later become a symbol of the Golden Lineage.[21][22]

The Long March[]

At the end of his campaign, Lord Godfrey's golden armies remained unvanquished and unbowed.[11] When his last enemy fell, it was said that the golden hue of Godfrey's eyes faded. He found his Grace lost, tattered, and faded.

Godfrey and his warriors were then informed by Queen Marika that she had divested them of their Grace.[23] She drove them from the Lands Between to wage war in a distant land, where they would live and die. Marika promised Godfrey and his men that after their deaths,[24] they would regain what she had taken from them. They would return to the Lands Between with the strength required to brandish the Elden Ring.

Thus, Godfrey and his kinfolk became the Tarnished.[25] They left the Lands Between together on a pilgrimage known as the Long March, at the end of which Godfrey divested himself of kingship and became a simple warrior once more.[3][26]

Godfrey became a chieftain of the Badlands under the name of Hoarah Loux.[5] The head of his axe had been broken in a battle fought during the Long March.[21] His loyal warriors honored him by wielding axes of their own, and they became the weapon of choice for Badlands chieftains.[27]

Return to the Lands Between[]

At some point, Hoarah Loux died. However, when the Elden Ring was shattered following the death of his son Godwyn the Golden,[28] the Tarnished that died outside the Lands Between were returned to life by the call of their long-lost Grace.[29] The Tarnished, who had grown strong in the face of death, crossed the fog and returned to the Lands Between, to stand before the Elden Ring and become Elden Lord.[30] Godfrey was among those who made their way back to the Lands Between.

The Ashen Capital[]

After the Tarnished champion has claimed the Great Runes, burned the Erdtree, and unbound the Rune of Death,[31] they return to the city of Leyndell and approach the Erdtree. At the Elden Throne, they find Godfrey, Serosh on his back, mourning the death of his son Morgott, whom the Tarnished had previously slain.[32]

Godfrey rises to his feet and addresses the Tarnished. He acknowledges their effort; however, he declares his intention to seek an audience once again.[33] The two Tarnished do battle, and Godfrey finds himself overpowered. The former Elden Lord grabs the head of Serosh, thanks him for his service, and then tears him from his back.[34] Drenched in the blood of his loyal regent, Godfrey resumes the fight, now as the savage Hoarah Loux.[4] Nevertheless, the Tarnished defeats Hoarah Loux, who declares that their strength befits a crown.[35]

Moveset List  
Ground Smash Phase 1
Slams his axe into the ground, leaving half of it buried for a moment, before pulling it back out, causing a small earthquake.

This is a boss fight against a golden, spectral version of Godfrey. He is fought within the Erdtree Sanctuary, accessed by climbing up a large root south of the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace. This battle is not optional as he must be defeated to progress Leyndell further and continue the story. Compared to the later encounter, this version of Godfrey has a greatly reduced moveset, mainly consisting of close-range axe swings. He can create areas of effect by stomping or smashing his axe into the ground, and he may also throw his axe at the player from a distance.

Environment[]

Godfrey is fought in a long, fairly spacious room. There is a narrower, lower section to the left of the entrance, as well as various pillars which may restrict movement or allow one to gain distance from the boss.

Nepheli Loux, Warrior and Shabriri are both available as summons for this fight, provided their questlines have been completed. Like the first battle, this fight is not optional and must be defeated to reach the final bosses of the game.

Phase 1 - Godfrey, First Elden Lord[]

Godfrey will usually initiate the fight by throwing his axe at the player and then dashing after it.

Godfrey has a stomp attack similar to that of the Crucible Knights, causing spikes to come out of the ground that are easier to dodge by jumping than to i-frame with a roll. He will generally follow up on the spike stomp with a series of axe swings, but can do a second stomp at any time, even repeatedly.

Godfrey's primary offense will be axe swing combos. They can be dodge rolled safely and involve enough delays for the player to sneak in a hit before having to dodge again.

He retains his moves from the earlier fight, with the addition of more close-range axe attacks and some abilities that generate earthquakes.

Phase 2 - Hoarah Loux, Warrior[]

After his health drops below 50%, a cutscene plays and phase 2 begins. Godfrey no longer has Serosh or his axe, and has an almost entirely new, grappling-based fighting style.

Phase 2 always starts with him rushing towards the player with a delayed command grab. He will always briefly go into slow-motion mid-jump, which can roll-catch. He will attempt to grab the player like this multiple times over the course of phase 2. Properly rolling out of the way of it gives you one of the largest time windows to attack him out of his entire phase 2.

He will do many other grab attacks, ground-slams, leap attacks, delayed kicks and delayed stomp attacks. Panic-rolling and blocking is not recommended.

When he begins to crack the ground after a leap attack by smashing his hands into the ground, the player must run away from him as far as they can, otherwise they will get blown up by an explosion that is very difficult to roll through. He often announces this attack by knocking the player away from him with a roar.

Environment[]

The arena is a wide, circular platform with no obstacles. It is the same arena where Morgott, the Omen King was fought previously.

Notes[]

  • Defeating the golden Godfrey, First Elden Lord at Leyndell, Royal Capital for the first time unlocks the "Godfrey, First Elden Lord" achievement.
  • Defeating Hoarah Loux, Warrior at Leyndell, Ashen Capital for the first time unlocks the "Hoarah Loux, Warrior" achievement.
  • Godfrey wears the Elden Lord Set (Elden Lord Crown, Elden Lord Armor, Elden Lord Bracers, Elden Lord Greaves).
  • Godfrey's lordly posture is maintained by Serosh, whose teeth sink into his left shoulder for the fight. These actions help suppress Godfrey's bloodlust.
    • How Serosh is anchored to Godfrey is similar to how Miquella attaches himself to Promised Consort Radahn. Their entwinement also parallels twin stalks of the Scadutree.[36]
    • Serosh's crown bears an uncanny resemblance to the Elden Lord crown.
  • The Axe of Godfrey was unbroken when he gained Serosh and vowed to become a Lord.[21]
    • The axe wielded by the golden phantom version of Godfrey is unbroken and features twin blades, suggesting it represents Godfrey before the Long March.
    • Statues of Godfrey with Serosh and an undamaged axe are found at the Roundtable Hold and in the Stormveil Castle throne room.
    • There is a portrait of Godfrey with a broken axe in Stormveil Castle's main hall, which is guarded by a Grafted Scion. This was likely painted after Godfrey returned to the Lands Between.
    • The Axe of Godfrey strongly resembles the Beastman's Cleavers made by Azula Beastmen.
  • Hoarah Loux, Warrior is a highlander.
    • Highlanders are mighty warriors capable of subduing beasts with sheer strength.[37] While most wore blue, only the greatest bear hunters were permitted to wear red.[38] Lord Godfrey is draped in blue, while Hoarah Loux is soaked in red beast blood.
    • The Highland Axe is found directly beneath a large portrait of Godfrey in the main hall of Stormveil. Godfrey’s kinfolk wielded these axes during the Long March.[3][26]
    • Both Hoarah Loux and the highlanders begin battle by shouting their names.[39]
    • Hoarah Loux roars like a Runebear and Ash of War: Hoarah Loux's Earthshaker is used by Great Red Bears.
    • Just as Godfrey discards the golden lion to become Hoarah Loux, a nameless Redmane forsook the red lion to become Red Bear.[40] Both cover themselves in red after besting savage beasts with their bare hands.[41]
    • The Cut content Brave's Battlewear, once the traditional garb of Godfrey's kin,[42] was later repurposed into the Gloried Attire.
  • Nepheli Loux, Warrior shares the surname "Loux" with Hoarah Loux, implying a familial or clan relationship.
    • If her questline is completed in her favor,[43] Nepheli may be summoned as a cooperator against Godfrey and Serosh.
    • Although her exact relation is unclear, her age and warrior culture likely make her Godfrey's daughter or a close descendant born after he reverted to Hoarah Loux. Her relationship with Sir Gideon Ofnir may indicate that Godfrey was recalled to the Lands Between when she was young.
    • Godfrey became the lord of Stormveil Castle after defeating the Storm Lord in single combat,[11] establishing the Golden Lineage as the rightful rulers of Limgrave.[44][45] After the Stormhawk King bonds with Nepheli,[46][47] Kenneth Haight recognizes her as part of Hoarah Loux’s bloodline, and declares Nepheli the rightful heir to Limgrave.[48]
    • Nepheli Loux claims she swore an oath when she became a warrior.[49] Godfrey also made a vow upon becoming Elden Lord.

Trivia[]

  • Cut content Godfrey has a wide range of dialogue lines that cut from the game. At one point, he would have directed the player to cross the Sea of Fog to reclaim the Elden Ring.
  • Cut content Godfrey had a few differences in version 1.00.
    • He had two health bars.
    • He delivered an extra line upon defeating the player in phase one: "Tarnished Warrior. 'Twas nobly fought. Thy rest is well deserved."
    • Upon death, Hoarah Loux laughed heartily after saying, "Brave Tarnished. Thy strength befits a crown."
  • Much of Godfrey's character shares ties with the mythical Greek hero, Heracles. Godfrey possesses earthshattering strength, endured harsh trials to earn his godhood, slew the mightiest of the Giants, has a connection with lions through Serosh, and he even enters a berserker state.
  • There are also parallels between Godfrey and Arthur, the legendary King of Britain, with both being great warriors once presiding over a lost golden age, and with Arthur himself being away - but prophesied to one day return, reclaim his rule and save his people. Other parallels include the round table seen at the Roundtable Hold, and his chief Crucible Knights, Ordovis and Siluria, being named for ancient Celtic tribes in Pre-Roman Britain.
