The Axe of Godrick is a Greataxe in Elden Ring. It can be picked up early in a run.

The Axe of Godrick is the greataxe wielded by Godrick the Grafted, a golden battleaxe emblazoned with the figure of a beast that represents the strength of Godfrey, First Elden Lord and patriarch of the golden lineage. It is obtained by trading the Remembrance of the Grafted with Enia at the Roundtable Hold after defeating Godrick at the end of Stormveil Castle. Its attacks are slow but powerful, and it shares a unique heavy attack with the Crescent Moon Axe. Its unique skill, I Command Thee, Kneel!, repeatedly smashes the axe into the ground to unleash two earth-shaking shockwaves, with a third on an additional input. It scales with Strength and Dexterity at D, needs 34 Strength and 22 Dexterity, and suits a balanced Strength and Dexterity character who wants area damage.
