Kill Soldier of Godrick in Elden Ring
This boss monster is the first of many that you will encounter in Elden Ring. To fight them, get to the Fringefolk’s Hero Grave by leaping into a pit at the entrance. This is an optional boss as you can skip attacking them by heading forward up the stairs.

If you do choose to battle, you must fight alone. You cannot use any spells on them, or summon help. The fight is a rather quick and easy one, so it won’t take much to get them down.
Offensive Strategy
The tutorial in the game will guide you for your first boss, which is to perform a Guard Counter and use a critical hit.
Get behind the monster to use the backstabbing attack as you dodge through his feeble attempts to hit you.
Spamming your attacks is the way to play this boss because most of his hits are weak even for a first boss. You can keep hitting him until he collapses.
Defensive Strategy
The Soldier has a three-hit move that you need to avoid, but it’s easy to tell when it’s coming. Simply dodge or block the attack and keep going with your offensive strategy to quickly take them down.
