Elden Ring - Soldier of Godrick Review

Soldier of Godrick is obviously weak and one the first bosses to be fought however lets look at the fight a little deeper. I'm one handing my weapon because the fight would be over way too quickly and I wanted to see the majority of attacks if not all of them. Running in circles may look silly however its an effective way to bait and explore attacks from my experience with the From Software games. There's no complexity with this fight since every attack I saw could require the same follow up. I remain outside the general damage detections then react with a attack which is basically it. There's no special patterns to be concerned about. The arena vaguely reminds me of the second Guardian Ape fight in Sekiro so it's pretty ordinary at this point, the music wasn't memorable and the whole fight is basically a basic enemy which isn't necessarily a bad thing but the health amount is incredible low even for such an early boss. I think adding smaller enemies would have made the fight much better and a larger move set. I understand it'll be the first boss for newcomers however it barely teaches the player anything about how future bosses will work. To keep things simple I'm just going to rate 1 through 10 and Soldier of Godrick gets a 4/10. I still had fun with presentation however overall very mediocre.
