A Reddit user named yubullyme12345 has shared a clip from their fight against the Elden Beast, the final boss of Elden Ring. The player shows that they are using the Godrick Soldier Set, consisting of the same pieces of armor worn by the Soldier of Godrick. Similarly, they used Lordsworn's Greatsword upgraded to +25 for the purpose of the video, completing the setup utilized by Elden Ring's tutorial boss.
Users in the comments section take this opportunity to make various jokes, such as the Elden Beast not being able to unlock the Elden Ring achievement for defeating the Soldier of Godrick. Another user says that yubullyme12345 should retire in the cave from the beginning of the game, waiting for the next Tarnished to appear. Some gamers also discuss the feasibility of Lordsworn's Greatsword in Elden Ring, as one fan thinks it's a solid weapon choice.
Other players make comments related to Soldier of Godrick's name, stating that he should be called Rick, Soldier of God instead. It also looks like yubullyme12345 isn't the only one trying to play Elden Ring with this unique build, as a few users claim to be using the same weapon and pieces of armor in their playthroughs.
It'll be interesting to see how viable this Soldier of Godrick build is in the DLC for Elden Ring whenever it comes out. For those unaware, FromSoftware has confirmed that it's working on an expansion to Elden Ring titled Shadow of the Erdtree, but it hasn't revealed much information about this DLC as yet. A recent rumor suggested that Shadow of the Erdtree will be equivalent to the size of two add-ons, as FromSoftware has decided to merge both pieces of DLC into one huge expansion.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
