Overview
The Godskin Noble is slow on foot but has a surprising roll and floating body-slam. At about 60% HP it floats up and slams down with a shockwave, peels open its belly and starts using its rolling attacks more.
It is parryable and its stance can be broken.
How to reach the Godskin Noble
- From the Guest Hall grace in Volcano Manor, head east across the lava and up over the rooftops.
- Ride the cage elevator on the stone platform, climb the stairs and pull the switch to lower the drawbridge. The Prison Town Church grace is next to it.
- Climb the last stairs into the church (the Temple of Eiglay) to start the fight.
Preparation
- Sleep pots or sleep arrows for free damage windows.
- Bleed weapons and slash damage.
- A Spirit Ash to draw its attention.
Moveset and how to counter it
Circle to its sides and avoid long combos.
Black flame
It raises its left hand and throws a black fireball. Dodge sideways.
Impaling thrust
A telegraphed overhead thrust. Dodge to the side.
Godskin wheel (the roll)
Its belly swells, it leaps onto its side and rolls at you like a wheel. It is hard to outrun, so sprint sideways the moment the belly swells or put a pillar between you. If it rolls into a pillar it can get stuck, which gives you time for a charged attack or spell. It can also stop mid-roll, attack and start rolling again, so do not drop your guard after the first pass.
Godskin crusher
It floats and slams down. Dodge inward, toward it.
Best builds and tools
- Bleed and slash builds, such as Rivers of Blood or an Uchigatana.
- Sleep items.
- Avoid fire and holy damage.
Rewards
- 50,000 Runes
- Godskin Stitcher
- Noble Presence
- Serpent’s Amnion (on the altar behind the arena)
- Divine Tower bridge version: 4,810 Runes and the Godskin Noble Set
Difficulty rating
▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱▱ 5/10 – Moderate. Readable and punishable, especially with sleep.
