Elden Ring - Godfrey, The First Elden Lord / Hoarah Loux Boss Fight (4K 60FPS)

Malenia: Scarlet Rot Maliketh: Destined Death Radagon: Holy magic Radahn: Gravity Magic Mohg: Blood Magic Godfrey: THESE HANDS

"Oh my god, the tarnished just knocked Godfrey down! What's gonna happ- BY THE ELDEN RING IT'S HOARAH LOUX WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!"

I found it hilarious and honorable that in a world of magic, great swords, great hammers, and magically fortified weapons this man drops it all and suplexes us like planting a dumbass-tree.

The most badass part about Godfrey is that he didn't start as a god. He earned everything through conquest and became legend through those deeds. So much so that even the demigods themselves looked up to him. There's something so unbelievably cool about one of the most revered characters in the lore being born completely mortal.

What always gets me is how he doesn't become Hoarax Loux once again because he hates you, he's crazy or is desperately wants to kill you. He returns to his old self out of respect because he realises you are worthy of fighting him in his prime. This boss is a masterpiece.

Me after giving a boss few solo tries: "Ive given thee courtesy enough. Now i fight with oleg, the banished knight."

"It's been......a long while, Morgott....." The delivery of that line makes that scene all the more heartbreaking. After who knows how long Godfrey finally had a chance to reunite with his son and show him actual love as a father that Morgott likely hadn't known his whole life, but all that awaits him is his emaciated corpse, long dead by the time of his return. Considering how Serosh is meant to keep Godfrey's emotions in check, it's very likely him roaring is an indicator of just how much anguish he's feeling internally, and even then you can still hear a slight quiver in his voice as he speaks his son's name.

Fun fact: all other boss rememberances never mention the corresponding boss' name, while only mentioning the title - "Rememberance of Rot Goddess" or "Black Blade" or "Lichdragon". But only Godfrey's rememberance mentions his true name - "Rememberance of Hoarah Loux". Chad.

I so love this fight, when I first saw this, I thought "huh, that's interesting, it looks like the lion is holding him up, that godfrey is got so old that he needs the lion to hold him up, but still has his pride as a warrior and will fight to the end." ... then that second phase hits and I realize "oh ... that thing wasn't holding him UP, it was there to HOLD HIM BACK!!"

The fact that his voice changes from noble king to gruff warrior once he becomes Hoarah Loux is such a minor yet astounding detail

The thing that strikes me the most about this fight is Godfrey’s resolution. He doesn’t return to his prime out spite, anger, or pride. He does it because he understands this is his final fight and that you are worthy enough to give him the warriors end he longs for. May you rest in peace Godfrey

Little known fact, around 0:35 you can see the shimmering of the guidance of Grace. Godfrey, being Tarnished himself, is being guided as well. And Grace dictates he fight you, as does yours. Last Tarnished standing claims the throne.

I like that he doesn't look down on you, he even respects you to the point where he fights as a warrior and not as a lord

5:55 that sync was phenomenal

Honestly. What I love most about Godfrey is he seems like a genuinely good person. He seems genuinely saddened that his son, who despite being an omen is dead. And sad that he couldn’t have been there for him. I don’t think he had much of a choice in his omen children, and if it were up to him, he would have raised them in love. But the golden orders corruption said otherwise. And he respects your strength, even after letting go and becoming who he really is as Hora Loux. Despite being banished and dying alone in the bad lands, he still cared enough to come back, just to make things right for a god and a world that didn’t give a fuck about him other than being useful to them.

The 2nd phase cutscene is such an incredible moment. You’d bet your life on the Lion being incorporated into the rest of the fight but nope, the screen goes black and Godfrey rips the thing apart with his bare hands to beat the living shit out of you, no holds barred. Unforgettable

I love how he picked up Morgott and acknowledged him at the beginning. After all, even though he was cursed, Morgott was one of Godfreys children.

idk why but I love that small moment with Godfrey mourning Morgott, probably the most neglected demigod. According to his remembrance he was never loved by anyone, yet this scene of a father mourning his now gone son is both sad and heartwarming.

I love how Godfrey grants Morgott a final reprieve from his curse. After all morgott has been through, he continued to fight on behalf of godfrey and dealt with any and all threats that may arise for Leyndell. Such a good ending to know that his curse was cured and he was laid to rest by what was probably the final blessing given by the Erdtree. The man who fought endlessly to defend the erdtree finally gets cured of his curse and laid to rest as a pure soul. 10/10 fromsoft. 10/10.

Love how characters like Godfrey and Malenia acknowledge the Tarnished’s strength. They know how powerful they themselves are, so when someone finally bests them they can only be in awe
