Both bosses apply black fire magic, and then wearing fire-resistant gear is a good thought. Information technology can be the difference between surviving an attack or dying.
A highly-upgraded medium or greatshield is highly recommended for this fight. In that location are situations where both bosses attack at once, making dodging very difficult. A stable shield will help in these moments since you'll be able to employ it to block attacks from both bosses.
There are vi pillars around the arena you can use to try and kite the bosses. This won't e'er work, only sometimes y'all can go one of the bosses to walk into one of the pillars for a long time, splitting the two of them up and allowing you to fight 1 of them solitary for a little bit.
Using the Mimic Tear Spirit Ash Summon or summoning other players is highly recommended. Having a durable ally that can distract 1 of the bosses makes it possible to fight the other solo, making the fight much easier.
Both bosses are susceptible to both Bleed and Frost, so employ weapons that inflict these condition effects if you lot have them. They'll do lots of extra bonus harm that can brand the fight go much quicker.

Unlike almost Elden Ring dominate fights, Godskin Duo doesn't have any phases, though the boss enemies do alter their behavior a bit each fourth dimension they get to around half health. Hither's how you can become through this brutal boss fight.

The bosses have a shared healthbar, so killing both of them isn't an instant win. They'll respawn i another (or respawn from air) until the shared healthbar is depleted fully. Therefore, your goal in this fight should be to try and have out 1 of the bosses and then to take out the other 1 before information technology spawns in some other version of the one you lot killed get-go, allowing you to avoid fighting both of them at the aforementioned time as much every bit possible.
When the fight starts, immediately spawn in your Spirit Summon and get behind one of the vi pillars in the arena. The bosses tend to spam you with black fireballs in the opening seconds of the fight, so getting into cover is important.
Try to become one of the bosses to dissever from the other one, and then state a hitting or two between their attacks. Note that the lankier boss performs lots of slashing attacks, while the larger one uses rapid thrusting attacks.
Continue to use the pillars every bit encompass from the black fireballs thrown by the bosses. They stop the fireballs completely and aren't destroyed by them. You lot tin can as well apply the pillars as encompass for healing upwardly or reapplying buffs.
If both bosses start attacking you at once, either block with your shield or endeavour to sprint away then contrivance. Beingness too close to them when yous try to dodge both of them at once will usually result in you lot getting striking anyway due to you not having enough i-frames to avoid both attacks fully.
When each boss reaches half health, they'll begin using a new special assault. Both tin can be avoided past using the pillars as cover. The lanky boss volition create a whirlwind of black flame, while the larger boss volition begin rolling around the arena. These attacks volition break the pillars, but the stump of them volition remain and will physically prevent the bosses from getting shut to you lot. Note that the stump of a cleaved pillar won't protect you from fireballs anymore.

By using the pillars to kite the bosses, taking cover backside them to heal or avert fireballs, and by remaining patient and attacking only when it's safe to do so, you'll eventually be able to defeat this awful and annoying boss fight. Hopefully, players volition never accept to deal with anything like this from FromSoftware ever over again.
