How to defeat Godric the hundred-armed:

boss attack	Description	Action
Jump attack	Leaps forward in the air and pierces the ground with his axes.	Rollback or sideways
Attack with 5 hits	Uses both axes and swings at you from right to left, alternating his attacks.	Roll back or sideways. Note that this combo has some pauses between attacks.

Luckily, Godric isn't as complex as Margit because he doesn't have that character's speed. However, he is still incredibly aggressive and strong and can kill even the most experienced player in just a couple of hits.

In the first phase of the fight, Godric will swing his ax furiously, leaving small holes for him to dodge before you need to dodge. After his combo, he will turn his ax vertically into the ground and it will take him a few seconds to recover. So hit him with everything you have and then get out of there.

His ax swing is deadly and covers a lot of ground, so melee fighters will need to stay on their feet. Ranged fighters just need to keep their distance and attack him from afar. Don't let him get close, as hitting his combo will most likely spell death.

Godric grafts the dragon and absorbs its power.
