Many of the options in our list of the best armor sets in Elden Ring will suit you well here. In the video above, Ollie uses Lionel's set, but Radahn's armor is also worth considering if you missed out on finding Lionel's armor earlier in the game.

2 Boost your physical damage negation While the armor sets above will certainly help, there's no need to stop there. You can use a range of items to boost your physical damage negation, making the Godfrey/Hoarah Loux boss fight a walk in the park. If you're looking for an item to equip, our list of the best talismans in Elden Ring explains where to find the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.

This greatly boosts your physical damage negation, but you can push it even further. If you visit Boilprawn Shack in Liurnia, you can buy a Boiled Prawn item from Blackguard Big Boggart. Using these items will make your physical defence even better, ensuring that any hits from Godfrey/Hoarah Loux inflict much less damage than normal.

3 Summon spirits for a helping hand Godfrey and Hoarah Loux are both incredibly fast bosses, performing relentless combos like the best fighting game characters you could imagine. These attacks might prove tricky to dodge consistently, so we suggest summoning spirit ashes to help.

They will hold Godfrey's aggression, allowing you to get in some easy hits while he tries to chase your summons. 4 Use heavy attacks to stagger When you see an opening to attack between attacks from either boss, try using heavy attacks to break his poise.

Godfrey and Hoarah Loux are surprisingly easy to stagger with heavy attacks, so you should be able to perform a few visceral attacks throughout the fight. When you stagger Godfrey or Hoarah Loux, move around to the front and use a light attack to trigger a visceral. This will deal a huge chunk of damage without putting you in any danger, offering a welcome respite and giving you a great advantage in this fight.

5 Take your time and learn their combos As mentioned above, you should only try to attack between combos. Godfrey and Hoarah Loux have a mix of swipes and smacks that they can chain together into unpredictable combos. Below, we'll list the main attacks that we saw in each phase and explain how to avoid taking damage: Godfrey, the first Elden Lord (phase 1): Melee attacks: Godfrey uses a mix of moves with his axe.

These include an uppercut, swings from either side, and a twirl over his head leading into a slam. He also occasionally lifts his leg before stomping down. You can roll to dodge all of these as they land, but you'll need to pay attention so that you can nail the timing.

Fissure: Godfrey will slam his axe into the ground and cause a fissure to open. When he pulls his axe up, it will cause the fissure to explode.

Fortunately, Godfrey doesn't seem to use this move if you stay nearby. Hoarah Loux, Warrior (phase 2): Melee attacks: Hoarah Loux ditches Godfrey's axe, but he still uses a range of melee attacks chained together. Again, these combos are unpredictable, so watch the attacks and learn when to dodge for your weight class.

Grapple: The key in this phase is to avoid any melee attacks that could lead into a grapple, as these lock you into an animation that deals massive damage. The most common grapple attack that Hoarah Loux uses involves reaching back with his right arm before lunging forward to grab you. However, he does also seem to grapple after using the cross swipe melee attack, in which he rushes towards you while crossing his arms in an X shape.

Avoid these by dodging away from Hoarah Loux as the strike is about to connect. Ground pound: Hoarah Loux lifts his leg for an extended period of time, similar to Godfrey's shockwave move.

However, Hoarah Loux will perform a slightly different move, slamming into the ground with his fists. He will then slam into the ground again, sending out two shockwaves in total. Stay far away from Hoarah Loux and prepare to roll when the shockwaves approach.
