The Axe of Godrick is a Greataxe in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Early game. It is found around Limgrave, in the opening stretch of a run, so it is one of the first real upgrades you can carry.

Upgrades

It takes Somber Smithing Stones rather than the common kind, one per level up to +10, and it keeps its own skill for good: no Ash of War will replace it and no affinity will re-cut its scaling.

Skill

I Command Thee, Kneel! costs 15 FP. Repeatedly smash the Axe of Godrick into the ground, unleashing two earth-shaking shockwaves. Follow up with an additional input to produce a third shockwave. It belongs to this weapon alone: no Ash of War will move it onto anything else, and nothing will replace it here.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at D and Dex at D, so Str and Dex are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 34 and Dex 22 before you can lift it. Because the skill is its own, the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round.

Notes

Greataxe wielded by Godrick the Grafted. This golden battleaxe is emblazoned with the figure of a beast, representing the strength of Godfrey, First Elden Lord and patriarch of the golden lineage. "I command thee kneel! For I am the lord of all that is golden!"
