Paladin Says…
Anything you can do, I can do better- I can do anything better than you.
Godfrey is easier to handle down on the ground floor than up in his alcove.
If you can get your ranged DPS and healer to stay on the stairs, and your melee DPS to stay behind him – you can tank him so he’s facing toward the bottom of the entry stairs. That way, when the ghouls spawn and rush for the stairs with your healer and ranged, Godfrey will often splat them with his own bullets. Makes it easier to keep the ghouls off your healer.
But honestly, this is probably information overload for a random dungeon-finder group. Just kill the trash first, then pull Godfrey down to the main floor. If you’ve got the right group, you can try the complex method – or if you’ve wiped a couple times and people are willing to listen to suggestions.
When Godfrey does his Pistol Barrage, he doesn’t move, so you can move out of the way when it begins. Your healer will likely thank you for it.
