Battle with Godrick the Grafted in Stormveil Castle
This encounter is fairly easy, but Godrick the Grafted can be tricky, especially during the first phase. His axe can deal a significant amount of damage, so players should be prepared to dodge his attacks or dodging back as he approaches. If you cannot avoid Godrick’s attacks, you can summon Spirit Ashes to negate his damage. The second phase involves fighting Godrick the Grafted in the stormveil Castle.
Godrick the Grafted’s attacks cause a massive AoE, so melee combat is not an effective choice. A ranged focused approach is much more effective in this battle, and you should summon a spirit summon to distract him and slowly deplete his HP. A good spirit summon is Lone Wolf Ashes, which can last till the second phase of the battle. It is also useful in summoning Nepheli Loux, a Stormveil Knight.
Avoiding a hawk in the castle
The troll in the chasm is easily avoided by weaving through the barricades and running up a narrow set of stairs. Once you’ve done that, the enemy becomes less active and you can get closer to the boss gate and Secluded Cell Site of Grace. However, if you happen to get hit by the troll, you’ll need to quickly flee.
The hawk is on the wall of the site of grace room, where you can summon it and take a few of its explosive barrels. The eagle will be in a similar area and is also easy to kill with ranged and jumping attacks. If you get a second chance, use the eagle’s slash to kill it, if it lands on you.
You should use a quick-travel item to reach the upper ledge. You must then lure a Banished Knight with ranged attacks to a chest on the right side of the rampart wall. Afterward, use a fast-travel item to return to the rampart wall. Alternatively, you can use the Imbued Sword Key on a portal near a scripted message to jump to the Chapel of Anticipation.
Defeating a sorcerer in the castle
Defeating a sorcerers in Stormveil Castle is one of the first quests you will encounter in the game. You will need to defeat a sorcerer named Rogier. He is an NPC that can be found in the Stormveil Castle. His quest is based on the Shattering of the titular Elden, and will involve rooftop jumping and platforming. You will also need to speak with the Knight of the Elden and give him the Ball Bearing.
Defeating a sorcer in Stormveil Castle requires a high amount of poise and a high level of strength. Rogier can be found in the northwest portion of the castle. He will offer to teach you the Art of Wars in exchange for runes. He will also warn you about Tarnished Hunters. However, he will only appear after you have acquired the Baldachin’s Blessing, which will boost your poise.
Getting to the Secluded Cell site of grace
Getting to the Secluded Cell site of Grace is important for you to progress to the next area. This is because your HP and FP Flasks will be replenished. However, it is possible to die while on your Torrent. Therefore, you must be careful when using this item. If you die in the teleporter trap, you will be sent back to the location where you died.
The first part of this quest is to kill enemies in the castle. The castle has a strong knight with a spear attached to his claws, but other than that, nothing of note is present on the top floor. It is recommended that you do not engage in combat with the knights, though. It will result in them walking backwards instead of forwards. So beware of this!
