The Godskin Stitcher is a Heavy Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find in Volcano Manor.

The Godskin Stitcher is an elegant piercing sword with a celadon blade wielded by the Godskin Nobles, whose swordsmanship no lowborn can match, and despite its size its successive thrusts come faster than the eye can follow. It is received for defeating the Godskin Noble in the Temple of Eiglay within Volcano Manor. It uses the heavy thrusting sword moveset with its own heavy attack, keeps the standard feint, and its guard counters become thrusting counterattacks. It deals pierce damage, scales D in both Strength and Dexterity, weighs 7 and accepts Ashes of War. It suits a Strength and Dexterity character who wants a long, fast thrusting weapon.

Stats

The Godskin Stitcher is the cleanest quality pick among heavy thrusting swords, with 127 physical at base and 311 at max upgrade, second only to the Sword Lance, and balanced Strength and Dexterity scaling. It takes regular Smithing Stones and any infusion, which makes it a realistic mid-game upgrade for a build that splits its points evenly.

Skill

Impaling Thrust costs 9 FP. The wielder gathers power, then lunges forward into a strong piercing thrust that punches through an enemy's guard. Most of the damage gets past a raised shield, which makes it a reliable answer to turtling enemies and players. The thrust can be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill that lets piercing armaments overcome enemy shields. Build power, then lunge forward for a strong thrust that pierces an enemy's guard."

Suggested Build

Played for pierce damage and quick successive thrusts, with charged Impaling Thrust to break through guards.

Stats	Strength and Dexterity to 55 each, Vigor 40, Endurance 24, Mind 10
Affinity	Quality for an even Strength and Dexterity split, reaching B in both, Heavy or Keen for a single stat at B, or Blood for added blood loss buildup.
Ash of War	Impaling Thrust, its default, a charged lunge that pierces an enemy's guard, or Royal Knight's Resolve to empower the next charged heavy thrust.
Talismans	Spear Talisman, Millicent's Prosthesis, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia
Pairs With	Flame, Grant Me Strength

Notes

"Elegant piercing sword with a celadon colored blade wielded by Godskin Nobles. The nobles possess skill with the sword unmatched by any lowborn. Despite its size, successive attacks from this weapon are swifter than the eye can follow."
