The Importance of Godfrey in Elden Ring

A thorough examination of Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, one of Elden Ring's late game bosses. A living legend in the Lands Between, Godfrey is the very first Tarnished, and the measuring stick our player character must somehow live up to if they hope to someday sit the Elden Throne. Though the tales portray him as a noble hero, our battle with him beneath the burning Erdtree reveals his true nature - and the finer points of Queen Marika's esoteric plans. This video is the ninth installment in a series that will examine the personalities, motivations, and backstories of each of Elden Ring's key players. Published in 2022 by FromSoftware, Elden Ring is the latest dark fantasy RPG from the team that created Demon Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. This comparative essay is the next chapter in a series of videos that will examine every major character from Elden Ring, and in some cases, compare them to characters from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones.
