Godskin Noble is located inside the Temple of Eiglay in the Volcano Manor. The boss fight is optional unless you want to take on Shardbearer Rykard.

You can summon any Spirit Ash or online players to help you in this fight. Defeating him on different encounters will grant you his armor set, his weapon, and a Talisman.

The boss' poise can be broken if you perform a number of jumping heavy attacks. This will lead to a free critical hit on the boss for more damage.

Strategies

There are two main strategies for this fight: you can either stick to his right side and hit his belly, or you can beam him to death.

Melee Strategy

The melee strategy is quite simple, as you only need to get used to his stab attacks. The only attack to look out for is the Belly Shove and Body Slam. Even if you are close to the boss, you need to get out when Godskin Noble does these attacks. The boss usually follows up his attacks with the next ones pretty quick, so you always need to be focused.

After every attack, you will get the chance to hit the boss for either one or two guaranteed hits. Do not hit more than that, or you will get severely punished for being greedy.

Summoning an online player will raise the boss' health, but it will also let you take him down faster.

Ranged Strategy

For the ranged strategy, if you are having a lot of difficulties, you can go for the Sorcery Beam one shot as a last resort. To use this, you need to add the Cerulean Hidden Tear in your Wondrous Flask. This will let you use Comet Azur for more than ten seconds. As the boss starts to walk towards you at the start of the fight, you have enough time to cast your Sorcery and keep hitting him till he comes over to you and attacks you interrupting your attack.

Summoning a Spirit Ash like Mimic Tear can help you prolong the duration of your spell if your copy goes aggressive for a couple of seconds.
