Featured Elden Ring Godskin Duo Cheese Guide

Elden Ring is the newest addition to the storied list of games that FromSoftware has released into the world. While it doesn’t follow Dark Souls lore, it forges its own path of brutality in a more open-world setting. While these games are thought of fondly, one common bit about them is how they are a bit difficult to understand. If you’re struggling with your fight against the Godskin Duo, we’ll tell you what its weakness is and how to cheese the fight if you want!

Godskin Duo Weakness

The Godskin Duo in Elden Ring has a weakness to Bleed damage, which can be found on a variety of weapons and from incantations. A lot of enemies are weak to Hemorrhage, so having a weapon that takes advantage of this is good to have around.

Godskin Duo Cheese Guide

To cheese the Godskin Duo, you will want to obtain the Ash of War: Hoarfrost Stomp, Sleep Arrows, and a strong summon like Mimic Tear. You can then sleep the heavier of the two bosses, and use a pillar to keep away from the other boss while you use Hoarfrost Stomp. Once they are killed, you can then stomp your way through the second boss before the other one resummons.

This method still works after the nerf to Hoarfrost Stomp! Sleep Arrows aka St. Trina’s Arrow can be purchased at the Nomadic Merchant in East Limgrave.

The Hoarfrost Stomp can be obtained at the Liurnia of the Lakes, which is dropped by an invisible Teardrop Scarab that will walk around the waters in the location. Look for the footsteps in the water and run into the enemy while on your mount. If you connect with the Teardrop Scarab, they will be killed and you will obtain the ability.

The Hoarfrost Stomp has you slamming your foot into the ground, which cast forward a bunch of ice shards in a cone like shape. This is a great AOE attack, and it works wonders against this boss.

Once you enter into the fight, create your summon and get your Sleep Arrows ready. Fire three of the arrows at the big boss to put them to sleep.

When the big boy is asleep, run behind the pillars and use your ability on the other boss. The ice will go through the pillar and hit them. Just repeat this process over and over, and you will take chunks of health off of them each time you hit them with the attack.

After you finish off the skinny boss, you can then run over to take out the big one. Just stomp them with the attack repeatedly and you should be able to dish out enough damage to finish them off. The animation for them to awaken takes a while, so you can hit them multiple times with the attack before they can get close to you. Just dodge away and keep stomping until they succumb to the damage.
