Choosing Between Axe of Godrick and Grafted Dragon in Elden Ring

In Elden Ring, defeating powerful bosses drops incredible items that can greatly aid players in their journey. One such item is the Remembrance of the Grafted, which can be used to obtain either the Axe of Godrick or the Grafted Dragon. But which one should you choose?

Understanding the Remembrance of the Grafted

The Remembrance of the Grafted is a rare item that allows players to acquire one of two powerful items: the Axe of Godrick or the Grafted Dragon. This choice is permanent and can only be overridden by duplicating the item through a rare process.

Best Weapon for Remembrance of the Grafted

Choosing between the Axe of Godrick and the Grafted Dragon depends on your character's playstyle and attributes. Here are the requirements for each weapon:

• Axe of Godrick:
  • Requires a minimum of 34 Strength to wield properly
  • Optimal for characters focusing on Strength
• Grafted Dragon:
  • Requires less Strength than the Axe of Godrick
  • Has a mix of Strength and Faith attribute requirements
  • Inflicts Physical and Fire damage against enemies

Considering these requirements, we recommend the Axe of Godrick for characters focusing primarily on Strength. However, if you're leveling Faith alongside your other skills, the Grafted Dragon is a great option.

Playstyle Considerations

Ultimately, the choice between the Axe of Godrick and the Grafted Dragon comes down to your character's playstyle. If you want to try both options, you can duplicate the Remembrance item by defeating the walking Mausoleums found in the world and accessing their top shells.

Additional Tips:

• To duplicate a Remembrance item, defeat a walking Mausoleum and access its top shell
• Speak with the Finger Reader at the Roundtable Hold to learn more about the Remembrance of the Grafted
• Choose your item wisely, as you can only acquire one of the two options initially
