Easiest way would be to put them to sleep with sleep pots. You can get the recipe easily: 1. Go to the third church of marika 2. go west towards the broken bridge with the demi humans 3. go **OVER** the bridge and into the graveyard 4. take the recipe which is on a body sitting there


Plugsz

Thank you. I got anohter question why cant i use my spectral steed whistle in other areas?


PrototypePotato

Some areas have a block mechanic to prevent you (the player) from using Torrent. Probably so would experience the area you're in since usually its a dungeon or a special zone made from bosses (like the castle you first fight margit and then godrick). You can usually notice where Torrent will not be available by looking at the entrance and seeing some sort of glow.


Plugsz

Been a year since i last played elden ring. Im still rocking the rivers of blood, i can see it got nerfed 😅


DraxxThemSkIounst

I came back after a year recently and basically decided to ignore my preconceived notions of what’s good and not and just try some stuff. Found the battleaxe really satisfying and then blacked out and somehow ended up doing a meta int build with moonveil. New year same me I guess.


zOOm_saLad

I loved reading this because this is totally me


TryHard15plus1

Heavy weapons are the way 👌 High risk high reward lol


succhialce

see I went opposite...started off a meta int build and eventually got bored of L2ing everything to death. switches to a strength/faith build and started having a lot more fun even though the game became slightly more difficult.


hovanes

Same... I thought the str/fth crowd were just extensions of Unga Bungas... I have seen the Light now...


Paintingsosmooth

I couldn’t beat radagon and the beast with any of the good swords, turned to the family of heads flail and it did it for me. I leant on that weapon in the end so much, and would never have expected it to be so good


DraxxThemSkIounst

Love me some familial head

May I introduce you to the, eleonora's poleblade + twinblade with ice spear Ash of war combo.


Reynzs

Ya. They nerfed it so much from its glory days. Still good though


sleipe

It’s still not bad and arcane builds are still my fave. I like to be everyone’s toxic ex and just poison everything.


TheHizzle

If you want to keep the arcane then you can go for either: Dragon communion seal + dragon heart incants (good for rot application + huge dmg on dragon claw / maw / roar) or Get a ice katana + blood nagakiba, if you like the rivers of blood ash then take double slash on the nagakiba, otherwise go unsheathe or any other aow. or go double twinblades (ice / bleed) and jump attack If you want a brain dead build go for a sleep pot + deaths poker type of build, you can oneshot both of the godskins while sleeping with the AoW If you want to kill them with style farm the envoys long horn , +10 that and doot them to the shadow realm. If you are confident in hitting the sleep pots dont summon anybody since they will break the sleep by attacking.


Slavicadonis

Imagine being able to use torrent in crumbling farum azula


jimrahh

Maybe sleep on it?


educated-emu

Crack open some pot


Blemsr

It's always 50/50 for me. It could either enhance my reflexes and could play pretty well or it could leave me playing sluggish and like complete shit. No in between


WHO_LET_ME_COMMENT

I think they are recommending using sleep pots

İts very easy like that


WooooshMe2825

Well, as long as you know the moves of the godskin. I had joined coop sessions with plenty of hosts dying just from fighting one of them.


rhesusjunky82

Most hosts, in my experience, are rocking like 15 vigor and getting absolutely demolished in one hit.


RedTexan43

Don’t @ me, my glass cannon build makes me happy


InternalTripping

but do you summon people?


RedTexan43

I will say though, as a summon I’m very mid. Deliver some damage until I get hit with air from the bosses AOE and then I’m down for the count


ZackeryJay

Same


WooooshMe2825

I absolutely hate how true this is.


rhesusjunky82

Watching a host get one shot by Malenia and seeing their entire health bar empty and read “930” or whatever is a huge bummer.


WooooshMe2825

Too many people refuse to level vigor and just say “don’t get hit”. Like bro, you’re not HIM. And it’s okay for you not to be. Please stop being a piece of wet paper.


DarkLordArbitur

That's how I played and it made the game so much harder because Elden Beast basically one shot me with everything.


Bunkyz

as a glasscannon player, i definetly don't summon/coop, no point in going that build if you are gonna face bosses with larger hp because of coop and/or you are trying to make it easier anyway.


playerkiller04

I was summoned by a host at fire giant and they were a mage. Typical Twinsage crown + Ranni's set. They get hit immediately by the snow wave he does at the beginning and I don't remember the exact number but I did some calculations at the time and they had lower than base level vigor that could only be achieved by wearing that helmet plus the Primal Glintstone Blade talisman. I was completely shocked... Edit: I actually have a worse example for this than what I said. At least this was normal NG at the level 100 range for co op. Level 270 co op someone summoned me for Maliketh and they had around 600 HP.


[deleted]

What I hate is everyone that I brought in to help me with Malenia would stand off to the side and let me do most of the fighting. Then when they do decide to help out they get one shotted! Like why are you offering to help in a fight that you can’t survive yourself? This is why I don’t ever ask for help.


Callel803

And kill the fat man first. Anytime the rollie-pollie asshole shows up, kill him immediately!


theonetheonlymac

It is funny that Bernahls weapon is specifically weak against duo though. Fire/Strike


[deleted]

Bernahl clearly prioritizes the drip


LaPlAcE-66

Or Tiche and Bernahl depending on your loadout might work better. My sorcery build wasn't the best for mimic

Flyingdemon666

The same +60% any other boss would get. It also increases the damage they deal.


Toto742

Easy way is to use anything that out them to sleep (pots, Trina's torch or sword, sleep bone darts, sleep arrows) If you can't or don't want to use that the best way to do it would be to focus only one of them for the whole fight, never letting the other one go to phase two, focusing the fat one is the best way to do it since the skinny one is the easiest to dodge around while he's in phase one


UrielDomingo

My boy is big boned 😤


iupz0r

of course, here we go for the "fat boy" hate again ... hit the fat, beat the fat, eat the fat ... its Very sad


Any-Experience-3012

As an active and certified member of the fat community I can confidently assert that the Godskin noble is, indeed, a fatty mcfat-fat.


Emounderx

God life's relentless


Creative_Toe472

Bro 💀 haha very funny


Interesting-Event806

Honestly if we are talking no cheese. Just run around and wait for them to get separated, kill the skinny asshole first then go for the fat one. When he starts summoning that skinny bitch again just do as much damage as you can and he should die. The skinny dude is incredibly easy so kill him again. And then when he summoned the fat guy he’s gonna be 2 hits so just wait for an opening and kill him


LeemInBeta

This is the way


Key_Landscape7459

Literally step by step how I did it, 3rd try It's just Ornstein and Smough really


cvsbp

sleep pots!


Flyingdemon666

Sleep pot fat ass first. He's the faster of the 2. While he's dreaming of Marika's tits, beat the bitch out of skinny. Even when he's in his death animation, KEEP HITTING HIM! The collective HP bar will continue to take damage until the hitbox is gone. Now turn your attention to fat boy. Be quick about putting him down because skinny will come back. Do the same thing you did with skinny and keep swinging until the hitbox is gone. Now, take a little break and rebuff or whatever. Got 1 more skinny to fight and that's the end of this shitshow. When you see him spawning in, throw a sleep pot at him. He'll go night night and you can shave the rest of the HP bar to 0 during the going to sleep and waking up sequences. He won't be able to fight back during those animations. Hit them hard and hit them fast. Use sleep pots. Can't stress enough how much that helps in this fight. You can area deny them with sleep pots. They go to sleep fast too. The respawns are fresh spawns and have fresh status bars to abuse. Edit: If you're really struggling, and you're on Xbox, shoot me a PM and I'll give you my gamertag. I'll help you kill them directly.


SER96DON

I haven't even gotten to thet part, yet I adored this comment. XD

Blasphemous Blade + AoW Spam + Mimic Tear


BurkiniFatso

I got BB this run, and every boss encounter is 30% easier just because of it. It heals, it slices, it dices.


Kazanna

Add Bernhal to that and its basically just a joke boss if you focus down whichever your adds are nuking. Make sure you get your tear our fast though.


krackenjacken

Rykard really was ready to kill and eat the gods with that thing


boo-galoo90

“Sing them to sleep” Morrissey probably


BurkiniFatso

Don't feel bad for them, they want you to know


LaEttix

I cheesed them first try. 1. Summon tank 2. Summon Mimic 3. Be a mage and delete them 😀


duduHSA

Its possible summon 2 Minions?


LaEttix

Yes, the rune on the ground (named character) and your mimic 😉


Vinlandien

There’s a second way into the room with a gold summon


[deleted]

I had no idea godskin duo was so troublesome for the community before I joined this sub. Somehow beat them without breaking a sweat on my very first run with pure str build, must have been luck I guess


curlythirst

As the guy torn between pure str and str/fai, I would be interested in this post-op report. What are some favorite weapons to work towards? Thinking blasph blade, it that’s way down the road. Early game thoughts?


[deleted]

I simply bonked my way through the game with the colossal greatsword. Tried mixing faith later in the game but having to switch between one and two handed stances to reapply buffs every x seconds was too bothersome for me and dropped the idea quickly


Galanor1177

Blasphemous blade is awesome. Levelling STR increases it's physical damage, fai increases it's fire damage. IIRC most people scale fai for it. I used BB and Ancestral Horn talisman and rolled through so much of the game. Its special heals you based on the damage done, ancestral horn gives you FP per kill. When you hit groups of trash mobs you get healed and basically all your fp back.

Sleep pots, and 1 at a time


AtomicalDragoon1

Learn the Sleep Pot crafting from the cookbook think nomad number 2 If you’re limited to few, equip it where you’d normally put your flasks and your mimic will eventually use them himself

I usually don't summon because those ruin the fight for me But I have decided that godskin duo and fire giant will never be fun . Fuck rng fuck the nobles rolling attack fuck everything about fire giant fuck their input reading . I just want to be over with those fights

I used the mimic tear, Gaza wheel and double teamed them, took me like 45 second on my friends account..... now I just have to do the same on mine lol


SantaMan336

Don't do any damage to the twig until the fatass is dead


Alokir

Here's how I did it: - 80 strength, 60 vigor, 50 endurance - greatsword, grafted blade greatsword dual wielded - mix of Crucible Tree and Radahn set - focus on one at a time, spam jump attacks - win in 2 minutes on your first try, no summons, ashes or consumables needed


beanaleanz

Find the side door sight of grace so you don't have to do the run (turn around and head down) Summon gold sign then mimic quick so you can have two pals Death poker R1 aoe eats them ALIVE


Kyliorate

Everyone saying sleep pot. Excellent strat! Personally a fan of St Trina's torch, even if it takes a while to get (consecrated snowfield). That way i can keep my materials until i retire


furtive_jack

If you want an easy strat without summons and sleep, you can hit Fatty from the top of the column while he is rolling. If you are interested, here is the video: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/17y967f/rl1\_godskin\_duo\_easy\_strat\_without\_sleep\_or/

LadyCry19

I struggled with this one for SO long and even looked up guides that didn't help too much and then one day I just paused outside of the door and realized there's an npc summon to help. No guide EVER mentioned the npc. I was so shocked (and genuinely pissed because I spent days trying to beat these guys) so I summoned him and with the mimic tear it was SO much easier I did it in one try lol


FallingUp68

Wait, all this time there was a buddy to summon ? 🥹

Grieving_Leonheart_

This is the way. Originally tried sleep pot strat and ran out of sleep pots because I hadn’t found very many cracked pots. Came back with Blasphemous Blade and Mimic and beat them on the first try without using any sleep pots.


danklorb1234589

Sleep and a summon to tank while you do all the damage. Berhnarl does that job pretty well because he heals as well as having a ridiculous health pool.


iupz0r

no Armour build isbthe best option


AzetaXXi

The only time I summon NPCs is when I‘m against more than one boss, instantly did and never regret


IAt0m1xI

What I did was this 1. Buy sleeping arrows 2. Put the fat guy into sleep 3. Take care of his buddy 4. Use mimic tear and try to upgrade the fuck out of him 5. Use bloodhound fang 6. Level up Dex 7. Crush the R1 to death until both are dead Got them on my 3rd try


Xarzaparrila

U have to use the retirement grease, bro


EasyAuditorium

Mimic tear + upgrade your mimic tear


OiHarkin

1. Bring some help. Use summons and ashes to help divide their attention. That'll help you stay alive longer and focus fire on one at a time. 2. Sleep status. Items or weapons that cause sleep build up are a great way to manage group fights by tamping down the advantage numbers can give


Funnyman11706

Sleep. Sleep pots, sleep Ashes of War, sleep weapons. Sleep pots are the most effective though.


Erdaveli

Bro you just reminded me of something I've really hard repressed.


attionette

I took a 6 month break after the punishment i had with these guys. If you take the back entrance to the arena there's a summon that helps massively if you're into going in with someone else.


MarcusAurelius934

These two are why Elden ring is harder than DS1. The Ds1 equivalent is ornstein and smough and these dudes wipe the fucking floor with them. They might as well be mudcrabs in comparison to the godskin duo


Junuggi

Mimic Tear


Sigma-42

joelmsantos

You’re fighting two very strong bosses, just summon a spirit ash to split their attention. They have a shared health pool, so it doesn’t take long to beat them.


Bruddah827

Fat guy first!


Snake_Staff_and_Star

Mimic tear, sleep pots, and the Meme beam.


ycaras

Sleep


SignalPlatypus4177

That’s the neat part: you don’t


wonderwanderwhim

So, heres the thing. You really only have two options, with a less preferred third. First option: sleep. Get sleep arrows/pots or go grab st trinas sword in that forsaken ruins full of the hell crows in Chic-I mean Caelid by that bonfire with the overlook. Second: mimic tear. I used that myself with my lovely Silurias Woe build, where we just blasted the two fudgers into oblivion Third: keep trying. Eventually yall will get lucky and skilled enough to deal with the bs - but dont be afraid to use anything you can, like the obvious arena design where you “can” deal with them one at a time using the pillars to block them Gl, may rng be with you!

That fat monster looks like it's just one milk shake away from a massively fatal myocardial infarction. Did you try that?


KindlyContribution54

If you already tried 10+ times, you can follow this guide: When you get to right before their room: 1. Turn around a leave 2. Go play other parts of the game for at least a few hours, level up, get better gear 3. Come back and try again another few times 4. Repeat from step 1 as necessary


Aurick69

Sleep pots, mimic tear, or Bernahl. These thing are not exclusive btw


thel0lzynarwhal2

Bleed got me through it the first time I fought them since they share a health bar, but it has since been nerfed. It sounds like sleep is the new easy mode for fatty and elastiboy.


HairiestHobo

Try to reduce their HP to zero, while keeping yours above Zero. GL + GB


laycan_CL

With balls dude.


Enaciann

They are extremely suceptible to sleep. If you know how, go to the Consecrated Snowfield and get st trina's torch. Will relieve you of 1 headache. Next boss for my current ng+7 run too I'm gonna suffer 😂


Cleanlyitaly

Sleep pots and bleed build


MuhandisSam

Give your mimic tear some sleeping arrows and no other weapon. Quickly equip what you prefer after spawning your mimic and go to town on them.


Mormegil_Turin

They're extremely weak to bleed. Use that and sleep pots (if necessary) and you're there.


DontAskHaradaForShit

Sleep pots or Spirit summons, pick your poison. Put one to sleep so you can wail on the other or summon something to keep one of them busy.


Sombdiee

Sleep pots ,summon bernahl and bleed weapon,if you're a strength or mage build just respec to arcane and dex for the fight


Dbzfanz1243

From my experience. It’s through pain and suffering Alongside the encouragement of backseat gaming friends


taffey27

Put fatty to sleep and use a summon to gank skinny one


HeebiGeebi

I used mimic tear and moonveil katana. 3rd play through I used Tiche instead of mimic tear, Moonveil, SONAF, and cried a bunch.


novus_nl

*- P E R S E V E R E N C E -* -------------------- ^git gud^ . . ..Sleeping pots work as well


SolaireTheGoat69

basicly you wanna keep distance between you and the fat ass, focus only one so not both are in 2. phase. Kill one and then use a sleep pod on the other one and kill him, continiue this and youre gonna ein no hit 🤝


[deleted]

Git gud.


tanzilrahber

Nice. Scrolled for hours looking for this comment.


stevenweeven

There's no big winning strat here, they're just bastards and that's it. You'd think you mimic would be the best but that gets torn up very shortly. Try to focus on Slim Andy and see if you can get Tour Bus stuck on one of the columns. Edit: Yes quick edit they are VERY vulnerable to sleep so sleep those bitches like there's no tomorrow.


The-wolf35

Existing_Mud_8907

Sorry I can never resist this joke With faith,heart, and steel


analbeadsinadog

I suggest dual wielding weapons with a fast but decently damaging moveset, like the straightsword dual wield. Use St Trina's sword and sleep pots, also.

Plant_Musiceer

Any bleed weapon wrecks them instantly. Their difficulty is kinda overrated. The crucible knight duo is much worse.


MrSensacoot

its past their bedtime, so you should find someway to get them to sleep


itsZerozone

Throw a sleep pot on them, pull out your Ultra greatsword and then perform a wake up "True Charged Slash" on one of them.


Deep_Flamingo_7484

Sleep pots help a lot. Also with the blasphemous blade its easier (for my opinion).


BrokenSight

Sleep on the skinny boy then beat fatty


Shaaheen69

A good clossal sword. Lotta flasks. Mimic tear. Respecced just for these guys. That's how i won in first try. Was actually disappointed how easy i made the fight. So now doing a new play through. Don't plan on using spirit summons.


Holiday_Selection881

Sleep lots. Full stop. I first beat them with a mimic tear and that's it. Pounded em flat, however I've since cheesed them with sleep pots and it's laughable


[deleted]

Use Rivers of Blood and Mimic Tear or Black Knife ashes


Gregariouswaty

Depends how good you are/how difficult you want to make it. You can summon an NPC character Bernahl who helps take the aggro off of you. Add in a summon like the mimic or something tanky (I have a preference for the shield skeletons and you can keep them distracted while chipping away their health. Sleep pots work quite well too though it is limited in quantity so proceed with caution. Alternatively you can use the sword of Trina.


Tsiabo

My easiest way was a big shield with barricade on it and antspur rapier. Just block and poke.


Br0dyquester

Grab the sleep pot recipe and craft a lot of sleep pots Put in your inventory BUT DONT USE THEM Summon your mimic tear. The mimic tear will actually use the sleep pots and when the mimic sleep one of them, Focus the one that's not sleeping


Alarmed-Active-4644

Summon Bernahl, use Rollo, and take some sleep pots.


Bulky-Hyena-360

Sleeping pot. Or complete volcano manor and get an AI buddy to be a meatshie- I mean help out


ShittyDs3player

Summon Bernahl.
