General advice I can give is to eliminate the Godskin that gives you the least trouble first then go for the next one as soon as possible before they’re able to summon the other. If you’re not quick enough to drain the life bar they share, the remaining Godskin will summon another one so it’s best to kill them back to back as soon as possible since dealing with them as a duo makes it significantly harder. The boss name can be misleading since the boss can include multiple Apostles/Nobles, not just two. It’s the Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble put together simultaneously in the same arena.

This is definitely one of the tougher fights in the game. This is a mandatory boss if you want to proceed with the area and complete the game. I actually think the placement was very smart on froms part, because it show's that even after maliketh defeated their queen and basically sealed their powers away, they remain a very active force against the gods and by extension the golden order in the game.Godskin Duo is a boss located in Crumbling Farum Azula. Granted, the difficulty of godskin duo is another thing entirely, but we're here to talk about the placement and context of the placement, not the actual battles. the other possible reason is that they are also there to try and incorporate the power of the ancient dragons into themselves as they dragon on farum azula are of the original immortal and lightning commanding variant of the species. they are making their way over to maliketh to kill him and take the rune of death, and by extension, their ability to kill gods with the black flame.

Now then, what about the duo at farum azula? well, the reasoning is actually simple (there are possibly even two reasons they are there, although the second one is a bit of a stretch). it isn't a stretch at all to assume that because he can sense it, he's trying to obtain the power of the cursemark and be able to kill gods again.

to put it simply, the godskin noble outside of liurnias divine tower is there because he can sense the power of the rune of death on ranni's corpse, due to the curse mark. The other one is a bit harder to explain if your not already in the know about the rune of death and the night of black knives. he also implied to be related to the albinauric head piece you can also get there, as it's stated in it's description to be a mockery of what the godskin apostles and nobles do. that godskin noble in particular is there because he's allied with Rykard, since they both want to kill the gods. The easier one to explain by far without too much knowledge needed of the inner workings of some of the lore is the one at volcano manor. Now thats all well and good, but what about the godskin nobles? the other apostle, is actually at the windmill village as the sort of cult leader of old ladies there, collecting skin's from them during festivals in an attempt to gain more power. the godskin apostle in caelid for instance, is there with the blackflame monks on the lower levels of the tower to guard the gloam-eyed queens sword, as it is of both symbolic and practical importance to them. Actually, if you will allow me, I would like to say that they are in fact put in thematically correct places (save for the fight in the spiritcaller cave, but that isn't even technically them.), it just requires a bit of thought about why they would be there given their lore, or simply taking queue's from where they are.
