How to Activate Godricks Great Rune : How to beat Godrick the Grafted in Great Rune

The most important thing to keep in mind when playing Elden Ring is that you are essentially increasing your game’s difficulty. In the event that you’ve attempted a task multiple times and it continues to seem impossible, you may want to consider trying something else for a while.

If you find yourself under the thumb of Godrick the Grafted, don’t give up; instead, take a break. There are many opportunities to gather runes, gear, and level up in Limgrave (the area to the south of Castle Stormveil). Elden Ring has a wealth of treasures and pleasures for you to discover, so set out on your noble steed.

Summons and Spirits play a significant role in Elden Ring as well (even for a melee character). As a temporary diversion that allowed me to land a few cheap hits, I went with the Lone Wolf Ashes summon and believe it was an important part of my victory over Godrick the Grafted.

If you want to defeat Godrick the Grafted, you’ll need to be at a certain level of skill and experience. When I first tried to take him out at level 25, I quickly realised that it would be an uphill battle. If you’re looking for a challenge, you may want to avoid over-leveling him.

How to Activate Godricks Great Rune :

To Activate Godrick’s Great Rune, you must travel by fast travel to Stormveil Castle’s Limgrave Tower Bridge site.

When confronted with reanimated Collosal Statues blocking your way, you have the option of taking them on one by one or running for your life until you reach the other side, where there is a waygate

To your right, there are some Bladed Talon Eagle enemies and a large group of non-hostile Eagles

Step on the mechanism inside the tower’s large door to activate the lift, then continue on your way.

The Divine Tower of Limgrave can be found at the top of the mountain. You’ll find a glowing sigil at the peak if you keep going to the top. In order to restore the great rune’s power, you must approach and interact with it. The player’s character gains a boost to all of their stats when they use Godrick’s Great Rune.

So here’s what you do:

1. Kill Godrick and loot his great rune (NOT USABLE YET)

2. go to the top of Divine Tower of Limgrave and interact with the green circle thing in the middle

3. your great rune is now USABLE, but you still need to equip it

4. teleport to any site of grace and interact with the site of grace, then pick the Great Runes option similar to if you were changing your spell memories or ashes of war, and equip the Great Rune

5. Consuming a Rune Arc will ACTIVATE your Great Rune (Godrick’s) and grant +5 to all stats until death or a maximum of TBD minutes.

How to beat Godrick the Grafted in Great Rune

From the “Great Rune Menu” tooltip that appears the first time you open the “Great Runes” menu from a Site of Grace:

“With the Great Rune menu, you can equip Great Runes that have had their power restored.

You can use a Rune Arc to give even greater benefits to your equipped Great Runes.”

That makes it sound like a great rune by itself gives benefits, but Godrick’s Great Rune does not raise any attributes. Either a bug or they need to clean up the wording imo.

Since soo many people seem to be rather confused with this thing here’s how to make it work:

1. Kill Godrick and obtain the rune
2. Restore the rune at the tower (Divine tower of Limgrave) past the lion miniboss (in stormveil castle) and cross the bridge with the 3 giants to restore it’s power
3. Equip the rune at any grace (it has it’s own section in the menu)
4. Activate it by consuming a rune arc. you’ll see all stats go up +5 in your stat menu. This effect lasts until your next death and can be reactivated by consuming another Rune arc.

If you only receive a tiny HP boost from using a rune arc you’re likely missing one of the steps mentioned above. You can farm more rune arcs by joining up in jolly co-operation and help other players kill bosses.
