Defeating Godrick the Grafted in Stormveil Castle is a major milestone for players exploring the Lands Between in Elden Ring. Victory over this demigod yields the Remembrance of the Grafted, a valuable boss soul item that offers multiple choices for character progression. Understanding how to utilize this reward allows Tarnished adventurers to make the best decisions for their specific character builds.

How to Redeem the Remembrance of the Grafted

To unlock the true potential of this item, players must bring it to Enia the Finger Reader in the Roundtable Hold. Enia resides in the inner chamber that unlocks after defeating your first Great Rune bearer. Speaking with her allows you to exchange the item for unique boss weapons.

Alternatively, players can consume the item directly from their inventory to gain 20,000 Runes. While this provides a quick level boost early in the game, trading it for unique equipment is generally recommended for long-term play. If you sell or consume it, you miss out on acquiring rare boss weapons during that playthrough.

Choosing the Axe of Godrick

The Axe of Godrick is a powerful Greataxe that scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity. It requires 34 Strength and 22 Dexterity to wield effectively, making it ideal for Quality or heavy martial builds. Its special skill, I Command Thee, Kneel!, slams the axe into the ground to trigger earth-shattering shockwaves.

This weapon excels at dealing heavy physical damage and breaking enemy stance during tough encounters. Its unique skill covers a wide area, making it effective against groups of smaller foes. Players who focus on physical combat will find this weapon to be a solid reward for their victory.

Unlocking the Grafted Dragon Weapon

The second option available from Enia is the Grafted Dragon, a unique Fist weapon fashioned after the dragon head attached to Godrick during his second phase. Wielding it requires 20 Strength, 14 Dexterity, and 16 Faith. Its special skill, Bear Witness!, launches a torrent of spewing flames that covers the area in front of the caster.

This weapon offers a fun blend of physical strike damage and fire elemental offense. It appeals greatly to Hybrid Strength and Faith builds looking for a unique secondary weapon. The ability to incinerate close-range targets makes it a favorite choice for stylish combat encounters.

Duplicating the Remembrance at Walking Mausoleums

If you wish to obtain both weapons in a single playthrough, you can duplicate the boss soul at a Walking Mausoleum. These giant stone creatures wander across various regions, including Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula. Lowering the mausoleum allows you to access the altar inside and create a copy of the item.

Duplication allows you to claim both the Axe of Godrick and the Grafted Dragon without waiting for New Game Plus. Even if you have already consumed or traded the original soul, mausoleums still allow you to duplicate it once per game cycle. Taking advantage of this mechanic ensures you never miss out on valuable boss gear.
