How to unlock the Godskin Duo achievement in ELDEN RING - Definitive Guide
Godskin Duo is a boss located in Crumbling Farum Azula. This is a mandatory boss if you want to proceed with the area and complete the game.
This is definitely one of the tougher fights in the game. It’s the Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble put together simultaneously in the same arena. The boss name can be misleading since the boss can include multiple Apostles/Nobles, not just two. 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.
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. Use the pillars in the arena to your advantage and try to split them up. The most devastating move by the two is probably the Godskin Noble’s bowling ball move when it goes below 50% health. Depending on the amount of health you have or how long it decides to do its rolling move, it can easily kill you once it pins you down. Also, if one the pillars are broken, you can use that to your advantage by standing right in the center of it if Godskin Noble is doing its rolling move since it can be difficult to dodge/outrun it. I noticed standing right in the center of it can be a good spot to completely ignore that move most of the time.
If you’re looking for an easy method to defeat the two then using the “Hoarfrost Stomp” ash of war (located south-east outside the manor in Liurnia) can make the fight a lot more tolerable since it does quite a lot of damage, you only have to be medium range from the bosses instead of up close near their feet, and it lets you hit both at the same time if close enough to each other. Additionally, you can summon ashes to the fight which can easily distract one of the Godskins, giving you an opening to fight one of the duos at a time instead of both simultaneously.
Good luck!

This was one of the painfully few fights that went well for me, +10 mimic with a +10 Blasphemous Blade faith build. Allow the mimic to draw their aggro and try to get both enemies inline with each other and use the Taker's flame skill to hit both of them. Some times you can get in 2 or 3 hits before they aggro on you, just disengage and sprint away and try to get them back towards your mimic.

This is basically the same strategy as with Malenia, it makes a mockery of this boss fight. Spam Swarm of Flies, but also have Bloodflame Talons equipped so your Mimic Tear also uses that. Even with my non-upgraded Golden Order Seal, this fight was over quickly and the Bernahl summon was basically a glorified decoy.

I followed the path of putting one to sleep and then wailing on the other.
Sleep arrows - Obtained from the Fevor's cookbook (2), which can be bought from the Isolated Merchant near Lucaria Academy. Warp to the Main Academy Gate site of grace, and face towards the seals leading away from the academy. instead of heading straight forwards, head right through a different seal and continue forwards past the wolves and you will come across the merchant. Craft them using trina's lily and 3 thin beast bones
Blood Twinned Knight Swords + 19 - Found in a burning corpse pile in front of the East Windmill Pasture in Altus Plateau. I infused it with an Ash of War and switched it to bleed and upgraded
Rotten Breath - Obtained from the dragon communion in Caelid
Mimic Tears + 7 - Found in behind an imp door in Night's Sacred Ground and upgraded
Strategy:
The moment the battle starts, identify which of the two gives you the most trouble and fire 4 sleep arrows(quickly) to put it to sleep, dodging the inevitable fireballs. Then stand behind a pillar and use the mimic tear ashes and heal. Then allow your mimic to distract the other one and then both of you attack it and attack it quickly.
It will fall rather quickly and then turn your attention to the sleeping one*. 2 hand your weapon and go nuts on it and it will die before it wakes up, or soon after.
At this point heal up if needs be and wait for the 3rd one to spawn. Put it to sleep almost instantly, and hope it doesn't start to revive the other one before it falls asleep(like on mastermind, if it's started, it will finish). If the 4th one appears just kill it as you did the first one, then focus on the sleeping one and the battle will be over when the total HP bar hits 0. If you do get to put the 3rd one to sleep, just attack it until it dies and then repeat for the 4th one.
This is a difficult battle at the start as they can charge you instead of waiting at the start, making this strategy difficult, but I find putting one to sleep makes the battle so much easier.
You also have the alternative of casting rotten breath on the 3rd and 4th ones and just running round the battlefield allowing you to get the occasional hit in and keep them both far away(watch out for the rolling attack though)
*Weirdly, when i turned my attention to the sleeping one, it fell through the ground and they both died and the battle was over, but this was a strange(and frankly welcome) glitch

Location: Crumbling Farum Azula
Suggested Level Range: 90-100
Damage Types: Standard, Slash, Pierce, Fire
Weakest To: Slash, Poison, Scarlet Rott, Hemorrage, Frostbite, Sleep
Drops: 170,000 Runes, Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell-Bearing, Ash of War: Black Flame Tornado
One of the more annoying bosses as you have to take on both a Godskin Noble and Godskin Appostle in a small arena. Their healthbar is shared but it is not equal to the health of both combined, as when you kill one the other will revive them shortly after. It is best to focus on one of the two to kill them so you can at least focus on the one that is still alive until the other spawns and keep trying to get one down.
They are incredible weak to sleep so you can throw Sleep Pots at them to put them to sleep or coat your weapon with Soporific Grease. Other ways to apply sleep will work also, this will keep them out of the fight for awhile so you can chain them back and forth keeping them asleep.

First I killed the aristocrat, when entering the arena it is he who immediately runs towards you, we try to separate them, at the moment the aristocrat casts black flame we roll onto him and hit him with an enhanced blow, if you have a bloodhound’s fang then L2 then R2, you can additionally apply it for bleeding, Agrim to throw black flames, roll over and hit with an enhanced blow. Also, when the boss becomes a dumpling and starts rolling, I advise you to stand behind a column, he destroys it, but rests against the very base and rolls like that - you can pour in a couple of blows. In this way we kill the aristocrat. The main thing is to cut them out one by one. But it’s no longer a problem to kill the apostle in solo mode, we shorten the distance and deal damage, move back, when it goes into phase 2, you can stand right next to him and hit him, and then roll stupidly next to him, thereby dodging his cast with a shotel of a whirlwind of black flame.

Both bosses are extremely vulnerable to bleeding. Also, the battle will greatly facilitate the summoning of a previously found False Tear (I recommend upgrading it to at least +6), which will take on one boss, or will speed up the accumulation of negative effects if you focus on one enemy.
