Lord Godfrey (tactics)

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

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.

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.

• Prior to patch 9.0.1, Godfrey's aggro quote to Horde players was yell This line, along with a line spoken by Garrosh Hellscream in 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.
