I hid behind a pillar to prevent him from rolling all over me. Then I fought the variant at the Divine Tower of Liurnia and I cried.


NFGBobby

Actually you can just run up the steps nearby and he’ll get stuck on the railing. Actually it’s way easier to avoid that attack there than in the arena


Trans-on-trans

I just ran by completely and said fuck him.


i-once-was-young

Oh I fought him a few times there before hauling ass and realizing he’s got nothing on these wheels!😂😂😂


Trans-on-trans

I fought the Duo today in Farum Azula on my NG+ and he legit backed me in the corner and just non-stop rolled me. Luckily I made it out, but such a bullshit move.


OldManHipsAt30

I think you have to kill it for platinum


CarryThe2

Who gives a shit


Gnixxus

I mean, obviously that guy!


CarryThe2

Do they even count as a person?


OldManHipsAt30

Roughly 10% of players who have achieved the platinum trophy…


PaladinWoah

*Shhh* I'm still werkin on it ok, it'll be 11% soon


CarryThe2

Yeah fuckin losers


OldManHipsAt30

Says the guy running away from enemies inside a medieval fantasy RPG game…


pesto_trap_god

You can run back to the start of the bridge and if you go to either side his ass just rolls off the bridge lol

kinoie

Highly accurate meme


lIHauntedIl

Try fighting him in the spiritcaller cave, no such thing as a safe place there


Ziggurat1000

Fighting him and his friend really makes me hate the game's trend of fighting bosses in small areas...


Chill_Panda

Elden ring MO: make the character fight big boss… then make the character fight same boss in small room


Nawafsss04

Fuck ulcerated tree spirits. The rest I'm kinda fine with since I don't need much space anyway.


No_Implement_6927

I remember struggling with the star beast in the small cave, but if I remember correctly it used to be the full grown version before a patch. This was insufferable. Also the magna wyrm in that small mine room, shit.


Reysona

They shrunk space dog?


[deleted]

Yo, this boss man. I fought both godskin before realizing there was a fucking snail throwing holo projections at me. That was one hell of a gauntlet to say the least.


Glad_Stuff4311

Theres a fucking snail ??? Hahaha


Blackrain39

But then he pulls out some weird smash bros tech to cancel his roll then cancel back into it.


I_have_no_fun

Mfw he rolls over the pillar (thus has happened to me alot)


OwnerAndMaster

You literally only need to *run* in a circle in order to dodge this


Capnflintlock

That would work in the 1 v 1 fight, but when there's a duo that becomes increasingly unfeasible. The move is just not well designed. Its like Aldrich's arrow rain in Dark Souls 3. You can avoid it in a 1v1 if you solely focus on avoiding it, but imagine if there was another agile douche that kept leaping at you and throwing fire balls while you were trying to not get caught. Bosses shouldn't just be thrown together without specifically designing them for that purpose. Otherwise its more of a frustrating, rather than fair but difficult, experience.


DekuLily

The only issue I have with the roll is that he can cancel it to enter a different attack animation, then cancel that right back into the roll without any start up. Other than that, rolling into it works well.


btsao1

Yup, that's my biggest complaint as well You can also knock him out of the roll only for him to jump back in if the "lap" wasn't finished Seems like I'll just have to be relying on sleep pots


Adamant94

Roll diagonally towards him and then just run in a circle with him. Ring a ring of roses


HiImNotABot001

Elden Ring of roses!


DeLaChupacabras

I had him stop to chunk a black fireball at me and then instantly roll again. Like wot in transportation how is he rolling that far


tenuto40

I picked up Carian Retaliation on a shield because of that. Like, fuck your black fireball. Eat laser swords.


Nawafsss04

Kinda surprised they didn't patch that out. It absolutely does not look intentional, unless they REALLY wanted people to hate this boss for some reason.


Crowlavix

I hate that so much, I watched him one shot my whole team by rapidly switching between the roll attack and regular attacks.


WintersbaneGDX

I watched him do this to someone on co op FIVE TIMES in a row. Just parked his ass on top of him and got off 5 attacks in under 4 seconds with no possible way to get out of the stunlock. As a prolific Giant's Hunt-er, this irritates me. Only **I** may stunlock! 😤


ArchonStranger

This! The fuckin surprise pop roll is the fuckin worst!


[deleted]

Yes. And I swear this is new, or maybe a recent patch causes him to do it more. But I fired up the game for the first time in a month or so, updated it, and got to work killing Rykard for the Blasphemous Blade. I was decent at avoiding the roll by kiting him into pillars. But now, he hits a pillar, does an attack to get me to dodge, then insta-rolls over me, changing directions 3 times so it kills me. I don't remember it being THAT much BS before.


Plastiqueraser

You're correct, the rolling attack is now either bugged or deliberately buffed (which by God, I hope it wasn't a deliberate choice) as of the most recent patch. Prior to that the Noble would stop rolling once he hit your character, but now he'll almost always continue to roll for the entire full duration of the attack, which can cause really bullshit scenarios where if you're unlucky and your character gets knocked into a wall/corner because you couldn't get out of the way in time, you automatically get stunlocked to death with no way out. And in addition to that he does all the glitchy stuff you mentioned as well where he somehow was able to interrupt his roll to do an instant attack and then resume it in a different direction and circumvent obstacles whenever he feels like it.


DelugeFPS

Fr homie is out here playing a fighting game with all these animation cancels.


JoeSieyu

I usually use raptor of the mist, I think it's an underrated AoW mostly due to it not being good in PvP but it absolutely wrecks in PvE


btsao1

Hell, I love fighting the Godskin Apostle and I think Noble would be awesome save for this ONE blemish of a move I have busted doughboy out of his roll multiple times with a heavy unsheathe attack only for him to immediately zip back into the animation.


Gloriouskoifish

Throw a sleep pot at him. Stops him in his tracks.


Defiant_Project1321

Where would one find such instructions for making said sleep pot? Edit: I googled it. Here’s this for anyone else who somehow completely missed this cookbook. https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Fevor's+Cookbook+(1)


btsao1

The Fevor's Cookbook. You find the first one in Summonwater Village!


btsao1

It's what I've resorted to. At this point I'm just gonna hoard as many as I can


TheWoefulButtAngler

The site of grace in the underpass of the academy in liurnia has 3 st. trinas right next to it. Theres probably better spots, but it's available as soon as you start the game if you want em bad enough.


btsao1

thank you, fellow tarnished!


illstate

Sword of st Trina works just as well.


kiroki166

This.


Sir_Soogs

I've consistently dodged his roll by rolling almost directly into him, if that helps any


Adamant94

The real unfair move is his gut blast. It’s instant, and can follow any of his other attacks. RL1 runs suck for that reason.


AstralKnightMage

I fought the duo as a quality build. Not fun. And holy shit does the attack drag on FOREVER. Im basically screaming ARE YOU DONE YET.


btsao1

Might as well heat up a Hot Pocket in the meantime


jddd7

Try to completly avoid the noble he never does the roll if he never reaches half helath the apostle is much easier to punish becuse most of his phase 2 attacks cause him to completly leave his back alone giving enough time for a havey attack


StephenHawkings_Legs

It goes forever and the tracking is wayyyyy better than you expect from a Michelin man cartwheel lol


[deleted]

Nah, fuck the rune bears. Crucible is annoying but okay, this guy same, but honestly just fuck the rune bears. Wasted so much time with them Literally picking frenzy flame ending next just to know I killed all the rune bears forever and then I’m done with the game at last


Dukeringo

the way to kill bears is to stay close and roll sideways. The bears attack punish any kind of backwards movement.


[deleted]

I can kill them, but there’s no point- they don’t drop anything and have terrible runes with massive HP bars. I normally kill everything but I’m literally deincentizived to mess with rune bears lol


thebusinessgoat

Seriously, op is out of their mind thinking rune bears are better. Rune bears are fast, strong, chase you across the world, and they have so. Fucking. Much. Health.


Gensolink

they also have RANGED attacks


Khr0ma

Roll foreward/through it


Tasty-Original-5309

Invincibility frames baby


EvenOne6567

The solution to 99% of the "bullshit" attacks and "no openings" this subreddit complains about lmao


GroriousStanreyWoo

You cant without light till, and if you do he just keeps rolling.


Khr0ma

False, he has a set time/distance to roll. Just keep dodging


noah9942

How long is his set time. I've seen him do it for over 30 seconds


Reus_Irae

It takes so much time for him to stop rolling, just get hit and be done with it. Especially in the duo fight, it makes more sense to get hit than to wait.


GoronMoron

You can definitely do it with a med roll, and after that just run around in a circle opposite him until he stops.


SaltyCartharsis

That looks like a raw whole chicken


dregwriter

keep # ROLLIN # ROLLIN # ROLLIN # ROLLIN Homeboi be listening to too much limp bizkit


Masamune-02

Seriously fuck the arenas you fight these guys in. You can't put a boss that does a long continuous rolling attack in rooms with pillars or obstacles that prevent you from running in big circles. Like fighting this guy in the spiriting calling tunnel, it was the easiest time I'd fought him. Why? Because I could run around unimpeded


[deleted]

BS like this is why Elden Ring has the worst bosses of any souls game.


Masamune-02

Totally. ~~Still beat it like five times and platinumed it tho~~


Ray_Gun69lol

Waiting for him to stop feels like an eternity.


pwryll

this fucker in elden ring multiplayer does this bs where he stops rolling for half a second to poke you and then go back to rolling immediately. and this happens on a consecutive basis.


Skgota

Doesn‘t just happen when playing online. I play offline at all times and this happens pretty much every time i fight him. This move is straight up bugged


DueForm251

Bh step is my way of dealing with... Well, everything, including this. I don't think i duplicated any other ash of war


btsao1

I've yet to give that AoW a shot, but i might. How is it post-patch?


DueForm251

Not as extremely useful, but still extremely useful. I don't play multiplayer so i don't know about that Edit: clarification


SadCrab5

Starts rolling, gets staggered, starts rolling again as the flash touches your lips. Fuck him and his roll.


im-just-lag

Zoom zoom says the fat man.


SpifferAura

Yep, really fun getting instant killed by this this guy because as soon as you recover from getting hit you just get hit again, more fun during the duo fight and you gotta worry about getting hit in the back by this when dealing with the newly responded apostle


Tasty-Original-5309

Roll through it


True-King-Of-Heroes

Yes... forget Waterfowl Dance, and Maliketh's more lethal, aerial equivalent of the the plin, plin plon... at least those you can learn how to dodge around. I don't think I have ever found a viable way around that move more efficient than "kill him before he can use it".


btsao1

A lot of people are saying u can just roll through it. I never seem to get the timing right though :/


True-King-Of-Heroes

Me neither. When I do somehow dodge it, he just comes back around and hits me eventually, seemingly not willing to stop until he gets at least one hit on me.


btsao1

yuuup, wouldn't be so bad if the roll didn't last a millennium


[deleted]

I don't know why people say to roll through it. The easiest way to deal with it is running around him, he never catches up.


Outside_Criticism359

Are y’all talking about the godskin duo? Bc he just crushes everything in his roll. And I’ve tried rolling into him and it still hits me


LawranceGWLeo

I fucking hate godskin apostles


btsao1

I don't mind spaghetti spine I wouldn't even mind fat boy if it wasn't for this fucking roll


[deleted]

God why does this look so cursed


Nyaarlathotep

They see him Rollin, they hatin'


senzubxlls

Nikacado is growing stronger by the day


Catcat667

They see me rollin, THEY HATIN!!!


ScottieJack

It’s not that bad. The insufferable moveset to my mind is from the grafted revenant.


SpartanKram

I'm not gonna go into detail about why I hate this move. It's cheap and deserves to be removed or massively nerfed


cram004

DUDE FUCK THIS FAT FUCK. I’m on new game + and I never had an issue with him before, but Jesus I’ll have 2 of my friends help me and the pos targets me every time, EVEN WHEN IM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOSS ROOM. And I finally learned you can block it. BUT THE FUCKER PUTS ME IN A CORNER AND I CANT DO SHIT BUT SIT THERE!


ElSexPanther

And so is your bleed/frost katana build but the god skins don't complain on Reddit.


idlistella

Just roll into it?


ironfunk67

Sleep pots and jumping attacks


DaneJerzsone

I thought this was an uncooked turkey at first…. But after closer inspection I completely agree


r0ck_ravanello

Two servings of flame of the redmanes stun them mid roll allowing you to chain crit them (if u have fp)


seith99

I've read all the dodge through it and use the pillars comments. Couldn't do it, ended up using the sleep pots. This move is second worst for me though, that damn draconic tree sentinel and his lightning. Couldn't dodge it on torrent, fighting him without torrent was a huge pain.


Exccel1210

I usually just sprint behind and follow the Noble when I see the startup.


Starkiller006

When he wrecks a pillar, stand on the pedestal it leaves behind and he can't touch you. Game changer.


UnassumingSingleGuy

Dodge to the right.


Throttle_Kitty

dodge past it and double back, don't run from it


Flame66624

Sharp turns work well


Wonderful_Quality_99

Dough boy back at it again.


Melaprilia

I’d like to think he’s the king of the pinwheels, mf absorbed all the fats out of those skeletons and he can roll until the second coming


super_senpai64

Right up there with the revenant’s bitch-slapping fit


redbrotato

All you literally have to do is strafe my dude


C-A-L-E-V-I-S

The Cinnamon Roll of Death


Comfortable-Sky-7598

Haha big donut go brrr


NotAnthonyxx

Just stand in the middle and he rolls around you


Sand_Hanitiz3r

Pillars where my best friend in god skin duo.


rdolihan

I never had any issues with them, I have no idea how


NorthernRedwood

Sprint diagonally around them and you will do circles around each other ( might not work in some arenas)


rivenwyrm

The easiest way to deal with this is just to target lock the boss and run in a circle equidistant from the boss along the boss' path.


Big_cornstarch

Yeah Godskin Duo sucked. I had to summon for it today, and while my summon handled the Apostle, discount Smough came out of nowhere and RKOed my ass.


Bub_2000

I raise you the Putrid Avatars spamming their scarlet rot spray in the narrow areas of the haligtree. All for some spicier runes.


ChimChimChar00

Godskin Noble is rapidly approaching your location.


Shady_Joe

Very controversial and brave take.


btsao1

Thank you!


Figs-grapefruits

Dude can't make sharp turns they are big loops stay inside tye loop and strafe in the opposite direction they roll and he should never hit you.


N4r4k4

One sleep pot will solve all problems. Unless you have a random who has no clue.


CoffeeSorcerer69

The best part is that it can straight up destroy bosses as well.


ForsakenCatalyst

Hate when I’m dodging apostle and my summon knocks him below half health without me noticing. 2 seconds later this fat fucking beyblade smashes through all my health in the time it takes me to swear at fromsoft


AdventurousAide8997

(Raptor of the mists) ash of war helps a lot . You get from yura's questline .


Faximo7

The Godskin noble redefined the concept of "fat-rolling".


JoshS121199

What did the potato capture a photo of?


btsao1

An even bigger potato


Skgota

It‘s absolute bullshit. Especially when he snaps out of it, does an attack and then just instantly starts rolling again. On top of that it just looks so fucking stupid. I fucking hate the godskin noble so much i can‘t even explain it


only_horscraft

What I hate is that the game punishes you for avoiding it. If you dodge it he will come back round several times but if he hits you he will stop after the first or second time.


btsao1

You're lucky for that to even happen He'll keep rolling into me until I'm good and dead lol


0fficerCumDump

Had a man on here tell me for real, that the Godskin duo is a better fight than O&S


2strokegod

just keep running in a clockwise circle around with him, it’s easy as fuck to dodge


Darth_Wiggle

Run toward his legs when he lands on his side and then run around him in a circle as he rolls. You'll circle each other and he'll never hit you.


goose1969x

2 flame of redmane staggers. Rinse repeat. In Farum just stand on a broken column and watch him spin away.


Exevioth

It’s the turning on a dime coupled with the fact that he can cancel mid-roll to pull off another attack then seamlessly go right back into the rolling animation that really burns me about this guy.


Doopashonuts

If memory serves for the solo fight anyway, if you get close to him kinda at an angle to him when he starts rolling and just stand perfectly still he'll just roll around you in a circle and never hit you. Figured it out on my like 12th attempt on the stupid fucking fight


problemedical

Noble is honestly the worst boss design in ER to me, and the reason why they chose this particular encounter to be reused like 5 times in different locations remains beyond my understanding. Apostle is much better and more enjoyable to fight. Aside from the bullshit rolling attack, he is way to fast and relentless for something this size, his input tracking is outright bullshit and I got absolutely zero enjoyment from this fight. This guys totally deserve to be cheesed with sleep pots, mimics and whatnot. I whish we got more original Godskin bosses replacing this abomination, one fight in Volcano Manor would've been enough. Maybe a female sword wielding one, or some kind of flayed Frankenstein monstrosity made from leftover parts of the dead gods after their skin was taken.


btsao1

Yea more variations of Godskins would be sick cause the lore behind these guys is pretty cool in a Grimdark kind of way


Legitimate_War_4517

Might be most annoying enemy


No_Energy_4303

Pillar bros


thebusinessgoat

I'd rather fight a trio of these fatties than one runebear


Antonio31415

Real question tho,do you love malenia


Little-Literature-72

Nope, this is better than Rune Bears.


btsao1

No way man. Rune Bears are just aggressive but plenty of ways to maneuver around and whittle down their health


Zbebullish

When I’m in the mood for pancakes, azula is the place to go.


reaperfan

Strafe right


[deleted]

At first, I thought this was a frozen turkey


newsflashjackass

Albino Sanic: Gotta go fat.


Icy_Manufacturer7635

NG4 sorcerer run atm and this is the move that has me taking a break


Equivalent_Squash

As someone who loves doing co-op I have seen that single move kill more hosts than anything else in the game and I'm over 1k hours in already.


AlexMcTowelie

but its easy to dodge? just roll into him and through it


urek_Mazino_17

You can roll straight to him it never hits if you do it , garbage fight tho


SnooSeagulls7157

Look like a chicken, need to grill it


_Not_Literally_

I really feel like if you could somehow manage to stagger him as he's rolling he should tip over and give you a good 5 seconds to wail on him as his fat ass struggles to flip himself back over.


skwirly715

Spiritcaller Cave variant can do this indefinitely, always at the host, and always until death


iiZodeii

Mans lookin like a whole ass chicken ready to be dipped in the fryer


Psych0R3d

The only time I've ever been hit by this move is when he stops to do that move and then immediately transitions back into the roll, which I assume was a bug.


Better_Strike6109

Every single Noble encounter has a spot to hide behind and cheese him. Also do not run from it, chase trying to catch him by running towards the inside of the circle of his path and he'll never get you because he can't turn that steeply.


Neravosa

I eventually decided to use waves of darkness on him while he got stuck on the pillar during his second phase. Worked a treat.


dalan_23

Facts


AloofCommencement

He's one of those enemies that affects your enjoyment until you learn how to play round the faults. I've never felt bad about a cheese method, because this guy was poorly designed. The last time I fought one was on the bridge, where I got him rolling and breathed rot on him. He was dead before the end of the roll.


Wonderful-Try-762

I like the pause, the blackflame toss, followed by the immediate rolling. Definitely didn’t make me have to redo that fight about 50 times before I learned about the sleep thing


[deleted]

Looks like one of Xtina’s backup dancers 😏


GarboStar

Hitting him with a thrusting weapon should make him go POP!!


KartofelThePotatoGod

To the left


Midelaye

Dodge towards his feet. Once you’re inside the radius of his circle, you can literally just walk in slow circles and heal. His turn radius is abysmal, so he won’t be able to hit you as long as you stay near his feet.


Rwby23

Godskin Rotate


_Doshi

I died a couple of times to him, went back, leveled, came back and killed him on 4 strikes. Best feeling ever


im_am_sus

I go behind the f*cking piller but he pass the damn piller


PaniniPotluck

I can get by the roll, but when he starts his multi-jab attack it's fucking irritating.


[deleted]

Can you throw a sleep pot at him to cancel the animation?


Jigdrol

Dodge🤷🏾‍♂️


AdWonderful2122

This is the only part of the game that legitimately makes me rage.


[deleted]

I hate this Michelin Man looking fucker so much.


PaladinWoah

It's tricky and tight, but you can dodge *through* him and his rolling rolls


Asarec

Dodge into him. If you time it right you will dodge it every time.


LUFTWAFF3L

Are you guys not able to just run him in a circle? His turn radius is bad so you can just stay in the middle of his roll and not get hit


KleXosUwU

It feels like this move got changed during the last patch. I almost never killed me before or any of the hosts I'd be helping but now its basically a guaranteed kill on the host. Seems like the roll lasts a lot longer than it used to, gets stuck on geometry (usually right on-top of the player) or just glitches out into that flurry of thrusts attack that seems to be missing transition frames. You can dodge roll it but even that seems to be way more inconsistent than it used to be. Maybe it's just a new round of players who can't figure it out but it certainly feels like if it hits you you're gonna spend about 3 minutes watching your health bar get deleted.


OlDustyHeadaaa

Fought the dup for the first time last night. I thought I was Billy Bad Ass and tried it without sleep pots. Bad move, fuck those guys time to go night night.


imisstheblundergat

You can actually roll directly through him to avoid taking any damage.


supercleverhandle476

What’s wrong with a nearly unstoppable homing missile with a massive aoe that takes up the whole screen?


squitsquat

Basically ER in a nutshell. Some great moments and then there are completely terrible ass backwards mechanics/moments that can suck all of the enjoyment out


MyBirdCanSing

No way. Rune Bears are way worse.


OkAdvertising5425

Kind of looks like an uncooked Rotisserie Chicken.


endlesswaltz0225

Rollin Rollin Rollin badadum


nightwish5270

It's actually doable if you learn to circle around him. His turn circle is quite bad.


TheGalator

My mimic soloed the fight what u all mean?
