Lord Godfrey is an undead former Gilnean noble and the last encounter in the Shadowfang Keep.

Background[]

For his character biography, see Lord Godfrey.

Adventure Guide[]

Drawing from his past as a Gilnean noble and Forsaken agent, the cunning and resourceful Lord Godfrey wields dual pistols and commands relentless flesh-eating ghouls.

Abilities[]

Strategy[]

Lord Godfrey occasionally summons ghoul adds; those should be tanked and killed. Godfrey will cast Pistol Barrage (his frontal cone AoE) immediately after summoning ghouls; any ghouls caught in the AoE will die—consider using knockback effects to get Godfrey to kill the ghouls for you (which grants an achievement:  [Bullet Time]).

Immediately after finishing Pistol Barrage, Godfrey will cast Cursed Bullets—the ability can and should be interrupted; failing that, the curse it leaves behind should be dispelled. Godfrey will cast Cursed Bullets once more prior to the next ghoul summon.

Introduction Alliance

Aggro

Killing a player

• Murder never gets old.
• This is the quality of assassin sent to kill me? Laughable.

Death

I thank you for the clean death. I would not have done the same...

Trivia[]

• His appearance may be a nod to Van Helsing.
• Before the introduction of Outlaw rogues in Legion, Godfrey was the only character in WoW to use one-handed guns/pistols.
• Prior to patch 9.0.1, Godfrey's aggro quote to Horde players was That bitch Sylvanas sent you too, did she? No matter, your journey ends in agony. This line, along with a line spoken by Garrosh Hellscream in  [5-30] The Warchief Cometh, was changed after a member of the development team who enjoyed playing World of Warcraft with his child sent feedback that the word "bitch" stuck out from other language in the game.^[1]
