Overview
The Apostle (tall and thin) and the Noble (round and heavy) share a single health bar. Damage to either one lowers the shared bar.
When one of them dies, the other revives it after a short time. The fight only ends when the shared health bar is empty, so do not waste time trying to keep both down.
How to reach the Godskin Duo
From the Dragon Temple Transept grace, head north to the fog gate.
Preparation
- Sleep pots or sleep arrows: both Godskins are weak to sleep.
- Summon Knight Bernahl or a Spirit Ash to split their attention.
- Bleed and slash damage work well.
Moveset and how to counter it
Use the pillars in the arena. Separate the two, focus one, and use the pillars for healing space.
Black flame
Black fireballs and flame waves. Dodge sideways.
Godskin Wheel (Noble)
The Noble inflates and rolls at you. Sprint to the side or hide behind a pillar.
Apostle’s long combos
The Apostle has long reach with his twinblade and staff. Dodge through, and punish after the full string.
Revive
When one falls, the other revives him. Use this moment to damage the living one.
Best builds and tools
- Bleed weapons and slash damage.
- Sleep items to control one Godskin while you fight the other.

- Avoid strike, fire and holy damage.
Rewards

- Ash of War: Black Flame Tornado
- Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing [4]
Difficulty rating
▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱ 7/10 – Hard mainly because of chaos, not difficulty of each Godskin. Split them and it gets much easier.
