The demigod Godrick, also commonly known as Godrick the Grafted, will be well remembered by the players as he is one of the early bosses players need to battle inElden Ring. He got the name of the Grafted as he grafts the limbs of the deceased Tarnished to gain power from them.
He is one of the Shardbearers and a descendant of Godfrey. This makes him a part of the Golden Lineage and according to the Elden Ring lore, he is considered to be the child of Godwyn and Marika. However, this narrative might not be completely true and Godrick the demigod may have a different origin.
WildestElden Ringtheory about Godrick
This theory takes on a different narrative and suggests that Marika might not be the biological mother of Godrick. According to it, Godrick was born after his biological father Godwyn slept with a dragon. This theory is based on the assumptions that are explained below.
Godwyn defeated Fortissax who is an ancient dragon. But he made friends with his fallen foe, and the Ancient Dragon Cult of the Royal Capital was born out of their friendship. Moreover, Leyndell considers dragon magic as part of the Golden Order because before being ruled by Marika and Godwyn, it was ruled by the dragons.
This may also be the reason that despite being a distantrelative of Malenia, Godrick considers himself part of the Golden Order and thinks of himself as the lord of all that is golden.
Additionally, Godrick has a weird obsession with dragons as he is infamous for cutting his hand and grafting the head of a dragon to gain the ability to spew flames. He does this to win the fight, but there might be another reason as well.
Godrick’s obsession with dragons can be justified perhaps because he knows about his true lineage and wants to be more like his true biological mother, which in this case points to Lansseax. She is an ancient dragon and also a great enemy in the game which also implies that she is powerful.
Additionally, Godrick’s strength does not match with that of Marika’s other children. Because of this, he feels the need to graft his body using others’ parts in order to gain power from them. Nevertheless, despite being weak, he is considered to be one of the demigods in the game.

Godrick has to be the child of Godwyn and a dragon and because of his father, he got the status of a demigod despite being considerably weaker than others. Therefore, Elden Ring may have been lying about Godrick all along.
