Here's how the internet can turn a nearly forgotten Elden Ring boss into a real star! Let us today tell you the story of Godrick's soldier's sudden fame.
The Underrated Godrick Soldier
It is true that this boss, appearing among the first of the game, is surely one of the easiest . Godrick's Soldier has 384 HP, a great sword, and heavy attacks that can throw poorly equipped players off balance. But on the whole, he is not so formidable as his superior, the famous Godrick the graft.
Amazing Chest , a YouTuber, had recently challenged his community. The player who manages to kill the most Elden Ring bosses in one hour wins the mad sum of $2,500 . It was during this unusual competition that the meme of Godrick's soldier was born.
At the time of the prize giving of the video in question, Amazing Chest placed in fifth place a player by the name of YungBreezyGawd who killed in one hour a total of… a boss . Surely you see it coming, the competitor in question attacked exclusively Godrick's soldier, and finally defeated him after more than 60 tries.
The player chose the wretch as a starting class and then went on an adventure, without clothes or armor worthy of the name. He persisted in wanting to defeat this boss that everyone describes as too easy and finally succeeded. The YouTuber behind the challenge called the player's run "inspiring" .
"I still don't know if I was trolled or not? But I really liked [YungBreezyGawd's] video because I feel like it represents everything [the Souls community ] represents,” Amazing Chest told Kotaku . "And that's a big part of why I got into FromSoftware's games myself. Trying again and again despite constant failure. Pushing forward even if you're a tiny force in a huge world filled with monsters ten times bigger than you. It's inspirational, even if it's a meme now."
Boss turned meme
Since then, Godrick's soldier has become an Internet phenomenon . Some even call him "the hardest boss in the game", sarcastically of course. Some on the forums even asked other players for help, saying that even after 20 hours of trying, they still couldn't beat it.
Others have also taken to cosplaying Godrick's Soldier , only to go and face off against their twin. You got it, you haven't finished seeing Godrick's soldier on your social networks!
