Fextra, is he harder than sekiros final boss? I simply ask because I hear everyone saying he’s the hardest from soft boss.
Could you also give us the build you used in this video? I used nagakiba but my damage is much lower than yours, i'm 178
@@crepesamurai8355 there is a link to the build. Lvl 157 in the link. It's a dex int build. Stats: 50 30 20 18 47 60 7 9. I don't know if he leveled in the DLC. I leveled in the DLC to 176 and this is not cool because NG+ base game is a joke then. I think the game needs an option to lower the overall lvl like waste some points at Rennala.
My favorite post I saw that pretty much summed up this whole fight
*me dodging a combo for 20 seconds straight and getting killed for trying to fit in a 2 hit light combo*
“Damn, got greedy again.”
Exactly what I said on my first and 400th try
Just not true though, you can get a lot quick hits in during some of his combos when you learn the fight properly
@@GearsOfCakeyeah, that's the most difficult and bullshit fight of the dlc, but not for that reason. Not finding when to attack is a skill issue or expecting the game to play like dark souls.
@@bonjour7209 Why is it people like you two can never just humor people? Like what are you even trying to prove? We’ve all killed the boss already so we’ve all learned its moves, so it’s not even a skill issue or whatever at this point. It’s an exaggerative JOKE about a HARD BOSS. So who is your message even for?
So funny, isn't it? They need to upgrade something, bosses are just watching them with 15 combos, aoe attacks and follow up and basically 1 second window for in light attack...bad playability
His 1st phase I think is actually very fair. Hits hard and has some mix ups but he can be punished. That 2nd phase is WILD.
My first thought "seeing" that phase was, "What just happened?" Repeated each time I made it to that phase because I couldn't see.
Phase 2 is annoying, especially when he locks you down with the God beams, does the teleport slashes and then tries to grab you. Because of that, I try to dodge and get grabbed. And let's say God beams come down and he's swinging, you can't see when to parry and get slammed anyway. THAT is bullshit
I actually think phase 2 is pretty fair, relatively speaking. The issue is the visual clutter of the holy beams. It's hard and stuff is multihit so it's still hard, but if the light beams/holy clones were easier to see through, I dint think that second phase would be overly hard.
But man, those clones? That shits just RUDE
I always barely get into the second phase and 3 things happen whenever i do: he destros me with the multiple teleport attacks, he grabs my mimic twice in row, who btw i think likes miquella, and then does the teleport attack on me or he just goes ham and 99 hit combo my ass
Literally had the biggest fps dips just because of that 2nd phase
I died with one hit left on him, then my Mimic Tear killed him during the “You Died” screen and it counted as a victory. I’ll take it.
You often don’t get the runes for that though, and half a million is a pretty penny. But yes, here we take what we can get lol
that sounds so sick, congrats!
Task failed succesfully
@@christianfender4734 at a certain point you truly couldn't care less about the runes. 5 minutes at moghwin place and i'll get back those 500k with little effort
happened to me while fighting Bayle went back into the boss room and my 490K runes were right on the floor next to the unclaimed grace
This is hands down the hardest boss I've ever faced
It’s thematically accurate for him to be this strong I guess.
ever bro. in my video game career man. like ever. this fight is insane
Had 1mm left on health bar 6th try. Now over 2/3hrs of deaths and still trying 🫠
Same here
@@TheShibby7776 hours? Rookie numbers. I’m 16 hours…
Malenia feels like a regular minion you find around the world after the dlc, especially after radahn. Fextralife was not joking when he said the final boss makes orphan of kos and malenia look like child's play
Makes me feel better that I can get him to 2nd phase when I can’t even get her to 2nd phase
@@dudesmith285getting him to phase 2 is pretty good but his phase 1 is way easier than malenia's. It's just that his phase 2 gets completely crazy
I dont agree, this guy has some bullshit attacks, but his bullshit attacks dont one shot you, like Melanias does, plus he doesnt heal off hitting you, Melania is way harder in my opinion
Thats an insane exaggerated malenia is still one of the hardest bosses in elden ring, she has 2 health bars, a near undodgeable move, and heals off of hits shes probably like 3rd hardest rn
@@paulose4910deflecting tear completely neuters her.
What if
You were an unbeaten demigod, powered up by a literal god, swinging at me with a sword the size of me
But my little shield did not consent?
To be fair , Miquella doesn't care much for consent either
Which makes him a griffith reference
@@igee1605 Yup, right when I started the dlc and I saw his quote "here I abandon thy flesh" and I immediately knew he was up to some griffith type shit. Figured he'd be the final boss, didn't figure he'd be helped by radahn lmao. Still stuck on this fight
You all must equip the big rune of miquella, the only attack that kills you is his 2nd grab attack..if grab, use rune, and it’s setback..than just block all with shield and poke him with a bleed/rot weapon, my go to was spear from mohg.. fight by the wall when u enter, many aoe attacks just even don’t register …stay positive stay strong
@@sebastian-gs9ff yea the poke build is no fun tho. I’d rather beat him without a Shield. The fingerprint shield w moghs spear especially trivializes the game
@@bmbrowns1778 Unfortunately I burned the Erdtree in my game so the sewers are a no go. I gotta solo him with no shield rn and I'm looking at everything to try and maximize on GittingGuder. I haven't been stuck on a boss for this long since that Raditz mission in Budokai 1
TL;DW - you get an opening for ONE light attack
there's a lot of heavy openings too thankfully
ONE!!...
YOU GET ONE!!!
gosh FORBID you have a colossal weapon
If they tune down the vfx it's gonna be a lot easier bc the main problem in this fight are the fps drops and constant flashbangs.
FOR REAL !!! I feel like 5 out of every 10 deaths I had against them were because of framedrops during the second phase
facts thats plus the undodgable 3 hit combo he does. if that was fixed hed be perfect
@@bull3t209 You typed this in a video that tells you how to dodge this move
@@spub1031 the video literally says its nearly impossible and might get nerfed
@@spub1031you shouldn’t need a random talisman to dodge his attacks lol that being said i’ll probably use a shield for it
For mimic tear users… if you have a raw meat dumpling equip it in your hot bar. Your mimic tear is immune to the poison effect it gives and will be able to heal multiple times with it with no downside.
Does the marika's blessing also work ?
NUMBER ONE FUCKING TIP RIGHT HERE. KILLED HIM FIRST TRY AFTER.
I used Bloodhound Fang, crimson seed talisman +1, DCGS, haligdrake talisman +2, claw talisman. Hard tear and winged for fisick.
The scorpion stew is also great
Hot bar?
@@DeathsInverse he is talking about the consumables you can equip. For exeample the flask of crimson tears
Best build for this boss:
- Poison/Blood Antspur Raiper or any Poison/Bleed Spear, Great Spear or Thrusting Sword (I used the Barbed Staff-Spear)
- Any 100% Greatshield with Barricade Shield AOW
- Greatshield Talisman
- Dragoncrest Greatshield
- Pearldrake Talisman +3/Twin-Turtle Neck Talisman/Spear Talisman
- Viridian Amber Medallion +3
If this guy's gonna cheese you with his bullet hell of a Phase 2, you cheese that shit right back. Other things that you can throw in, but are optional and not needed:
- Golden Vow (Preferably Incantation, but the AOW or Consumable work just as well)
- Protection of the Erdtree (He deals Magic, Holy *and* Fire damage, making this incredibly helpful)
- Immutable Shield (This boosts non-Physical negations on your Shield; if you use the Erdtree Greatshield, you can get 100% Physical and Holy Negation for Phase 2)
- Scholar's Shield (Same as Immutable Shield, but increases Guard Boost and Physical and Magic Negation)
- Blessing's Boon/Blessing of the Erdtree (Keeps you topped off and out of danger when Radahn decides he's going to have a tantrum and wail on you for 5 minutes)
- Heal from Afar (If you're playing with Summons or Spirits, this is a great tool to have when you're not holding aggro; fastest cast heal with healing comparable with Erdtree Heal with high Faith for half the cost, whilst also being able to stay out of aggro range to use it)
- Mimic Tear Ashes (Again, fight cheese with cheese. Swap out the Viridian Amber for the Crimson Amber and a regen spell and he/she will probably never die)
- Greatshield Soldier Ashes (Do NOT sleep on these Ashes. They're one of the few Ashes with AI worth a damn and will block absolutely everything that hits them from the front. They get mulched pretty quick in Phase 2 though, so keep that in mind)
This boss, whilst a spectacle of its own, has gotta be the most bs thing FromSoft has ever come up with. I'm pretty sure Miyazaki even fears what he's created. If you're more of a casual player like me, don't be afraid to cheese the ever living hell out of this guy. Turtle Builds are easily the most effective builds to take into this guy, so don't be afraid to whip one up on the spot.
Edit: I forgot about the Physick X3. I used the Opaline Hard Tear and the Viridianburst Crystal Tear for extra defences and stamina regen. You could easily swap out the Viridianburst Tear for any other Tear of your liking though and free up a Talisman slot, although this fight *will* last more than 3 minutes, so bare that in mind.
Thanks bro
Yea I think that’s accurate. I beat it with the bloodfiend arm but this was what I was going to switch to if it didn’t work out. Took 3-4 hours. Also I was doing the hard mode version. Bloodfiend might be better for the easier one though. Since you do so much damage you can kill him pretty fast
@@meximous2259what do you mean by hard mode version?
Thank you. Was losing my mind after 4 hours & I said F this. After 30 minutes set up totally wrecked the twink without any flask used. Just keep in mind the combo finishers & your stamina and you should be good. Twin turtle is a must for me to regain stamina right away
@@quinnswanson8658 if you summon thiollier and aunsbach for the fight radahn has way more health. And the summons do no damage and will be dead in a few minutes
Consort Radahn gave the term "Final Boss" a whole new meaning.
Of being a bullshit joke?
@@someweeb4110 salty
I can't remember the last time I looked up a guide on how to beat a boss in a from software game.
I typically enjoy learning boss fights it is my favorite part about these games. But man trying to learn this second phase one move at a time is the most un fun experience I have ever had
As someone who’s done it a few times now, it’s one of the most tedious fights to learn. Cool presentation but my god it is painful. Brain rot is the perfect way to describe this fight, just spam dodge into him or behind him for your one punish, rinse and repeat, be blinded by the light show. Feels like a modded dark souls 3 boss
The second phase is absolutely horrible, it feels like I'm not even allowed to heal with one flask after dodging majority of his moves besides the grab. I genuinely am not able to learn his moveset. Even worse I got no idea which weapon to use against this mf in the second phase. Idk if its the tilt but I'm really not enjoying this boss fight after 4 hrs in. Never had this with Messmer
@@seeNoEvilhearNoEvil_your time to heal is any of the moments in this guide when he says you have time for a heavy attack. Definitely requires learning the moves to consistently get windows to heal
@@seeNoEvilhearNoEvil_ I genuinely believe most Elden ring bosses actually get too much crap from fans for being too aggressive(you can usually create a lot of openings with smart positioning), but with this fight there is no aggression that is tolerated, no positioning tactics to create more damage openings. Just learn the long combos and get one attack off. Genuinely boring gameplay compared to the rest of the boss roster.
@@bigsmall2842there are a number of moves that can be punished with an extra attack if your positioning and timing are good. It's tight, but possible.
@@bigsmall2842Yeah, in this fight Radahn is playing the game, not you. I tried playing a bit more actively and risky after getting his first phase down to get a stance break or two but he just does too much damage and staggers you too much for it to be viable. A single mistake and you're done.
First boss, in any souls game where I've had to google a guide because so much of P2 is just "I have no idea how I'm meant to dodge that". Meteors now followed by teleporting slashes, spinning attack now followed by teleporting explosions.
You run, you spam roll, you try to time rolls. It all hits you anyway and on top of that usually 1 shots you.
This boss felt like FromSoft couldn't find a way to up the anty in terms of difficulty anymore, so just gave everything double aftershocks, blinding lights and super speed. It's not good boss design when people feel the need to google how to fight it.
Many people have to google Melania but it still is a good fight imo. Radahn isn't one because of how restrictive this fight is, you are basically DS rollong all over the place.
@@devondorr8212 Malenia is equally shit.
Yeah that last part is just completely untrue. For my first playthrough, I had to look up how to beat Isshin & Demon Of Hatred in Sekiro, Sister Friede & Midir in DS3 & Malenia & Rykard (Yes, MF Rykard) In Elden Ring. Sometimes there's just something that hasn't clicked yet you keep doing wrong, And you get so heated and keep trying to force it, And keep dying, It's totally normal when that happens & There's nothing wrong with looking up a guide to see what your doing wrong. I died to that Snake boss in Nioh 2 for an eternity before I finally watched a video and learned I just had to cut off his little snake arms. Something pretty simple that i somehow didn't think to do, It's not bad boss design, I just refused to switch up my attacks & Think of different ways to approach the fight.
@@butterschunkmcdonalds5333 As much as I respect what they went for phase 2 feels a little too bullshitty. At least we could've had Torrent to escape some of the explosions or AOEs for a faster paced fight. Plus it would be fitting for Torrent to witness Miquella's end since he abandoned him to ride Radahn.
phase bosses suck because you dont get to practice, essentially, everytime you die in phase two you have to 1. run back up, 2. reapply your buffs, 3. go through all of phase 1 again. and all of that takes like 5 minutes or more. and by the time you get back to that point their are still phase 2 attacks you havent seen yet. its ridiculous, especially when that second phase is just even harder by such a significant degree. yeah the attacks are somewhat similair, but the attack agression and tempo are completely different plus multiple undodgable attacks you just have to know are undodgable.
crazy how fromsoft made shields useless for whole 2 years and then made dlc final boss weak to shields
Pretty sure a wall and poke build works well on most bosses
Nah shield builds have always been very good it’s just become more apparent in the dlc cause these bosses attacks are just ridiculous and blocking it with a shield makes it easy mode
They were never useless in Elden Ring. Everybody just wanted to play dual wielding with jumping attacks
Great shield were never useless one of my easiest playthrough was golden great shield with axe executioners great axe Mesmer also gets countered by great shields
Last time I used a shield was in Dark Souls 1, maybe 12 years ago
I've played the whole main game + DLC with an INT build without much trouble, even managed to get Radahn P1 most time but Radahn P2 was impossible for me, had to use the old turtle method again after all these years
Moore's shield with the bloodfiend arm set to blood affinity and 50-60 arcane absolutely melts Radahn with charged heavies
i do 3k dmg with piercing fang. no need for voodoo. thing is it does not give you the space to hit him. though i only tried once and died at %40 remaining
Try doing that bs on NG+7 with your RL160😅
@@samplexample use greatshield talisman, marikas talisman, pearldrake+3 and even on ng+7 consort radan deals funny damage to your stamina and health.
I don't know why fromsoftware made him so weak for the great shield users
did the same thing but went with arcane lvl80. still have to put a game together to use it though so in that you do "git gud".
You mean lightning flasks melt him
My main issue I had with his phase 2 were not necessarly his new move set but rather the insane fps drops i got from some of his new moves, consistant 60 fps all throughout the game and every boss fight to suddendly droping to 30 mid animation, for this fight only i reduced the quality of lighting, effects, atmospherics and it became more manageable.
An other tip for that attack were he does his 4 after image attacks those don't deal a lot of damage and don't cause a lot of stamina loss when blocked so if you can't avoid the first one, take a blocking stance count the after images and then dodge to the side
Not to mention the hair also blocks what type of swing hes gonna do 😩
Literally happened to me last night fighting him, i heal after running from that huge holy attack at the start of 2nd phase and my game freezes due to how many frames are dropping and i die right when it fixes, my ps5 goint through it with all those flashing beams
Finally, my ass just got kick by radahn literally a minute ago
First phase is a piece of cake to me rn, but that second phase is just wtf...
Every single time when he does the meteor attack, I can’t help but think of Miquella holding for dear life up there…
Heard Starscourge Radahn was too hard at launch so they nerfed him. Wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. All other bosses are hard but it felt like every type of build from melee to spellcaster was at least somewhat viable. With Consort Radahn only a small handful of melee builds are viable. Spellcasters are completely out of luck.
I was kinda sad that his trusty load bearing horse wasn't around this time. lol
@@alphadwuzzle1026 Goes to show how truly cold and evil Miquella is to deny his puppet his beloved horse.
They nerfed the hitboxes that didn't work as intended. The damage was also nerfed, but that was immediately changed back
I've played spellcaster the whole main game and DLC without too much trouble, even P1 Radahn is doable but P2 is absolutely bullshit, had to make an entirely new build
worst part is even if you use summons he will still immediately agro on you after you cast one spell. and in phase 2, that means he does a 10 hit teleporting combo
I played all Fromsoft games and have most of them on plat... I think this is one of those rare bosses that are not even fun. They tried too hard to make him hard but forgot to make it fair. Usually death doesn't even feel like it's your fault.
skill issue
@@zach-vh6sxget a life
That one attack he does that is basically unavoidable ruins the fight for me. Don’t know what FromSoft was thinking with that attack. It is literally too fast to dodge.
@@sygmeister they don't properly play test their games and they trapped themselves in the whole "we make hard games" narrative.
@@christianbaker3564 it’s honestly disappointing that would otherwise be a great final boss is ruined by a cheap kill move. I beat Messmer without summons or a cheese build because his attacks were fair. Radahn is simply broken because of the 3 sword swipe. If you don’t use a shield, you lose.
The only thing I disagree on with this guide is the gravity pull attack. Spam rolling is inconsistent.. I find immediately running away after getting sucked in and then jumping out is really consistent to avoid damage
So from what I’m seeing in the comment section, the big things that should change are: reduce the holy aoes due to visual clutter and fps drops, slow down some attacks, and overall just provide better opportunities to deal damage beyond dodging like 20-35 seconds worth of combos to get a light in
I hope they dont nerf him. Give it a week or two and ppl will start to get this fucker down. I personally like to use days on one boss. Make it that much sweeter and earned
@@Tomblom They'd better nerf him. There's difficult and there's 100 hours of nonstop dying unfair. This is the latter. Don't believe me? Ask Kai Cenat.
@Tomblom I agree they shouldn't nerf anything, but they have to. They wouldn't if they properly play tested their games and didn't release this crap but here we are
@@Tomblom they need to do something with that 3 sword swipe. It is really unfair to fight without a shield. Everything else about the boss is fair in my opinion except that attack. It’s ridiculous.
just get rid of the 1-2-cross sword combo and i'd be fine. everything else is learnable after a while.
Just had my 90th death. Actual garbag of a second phase.
They should just get rid of the barely dodgeable 3 hit and it wouldnt even be that bad tbh actually very manageable as a final boss.
The only other thing is, in the second phase after the meteor attack when he slams into the ground the holy pillars he pulls out of the ground deal unreasonable damage sometimes.
Like ive been 1shot by them before despite having multiple defense buffs active & 60+ vigor, but other times they hit me and barely deal half of my healthbar despite using the same inputs.
Yeah those pillars always get me
its probably bugged and they accidentally made it so that each pillar counts for damage, definitely getting fixed hopefully
@@wheatleythebrick2276 i think so as well
Just beat him yesterday. I really wish he gets nerfed. I don't want his moveset or numbers to change. Just let me see what he's doing during the second phase.
Edit: Wow, I never thought wanting to be able to SEE what's happening in a boss fight would cause disagreement in the Souls community.
Nah.He is prefect
@@Roxy-ismnah he's dummy hard. He needs a nerf
@@Roxy-ism rushes you down in phase 1 and doesn't let you summon, then in phase 2 starts throwing up shit with no breaks. visually, it's amazing, gameplay wise, it's exactly what a boss shouldn't be.
He turns into a washing machine that's what he does.
@@jasonhendricks4562 thats the whole point....
Best guide in youtube so far and I've seen them all. Precise analysis with slo-mo. Really appreciate it, thank you man. It saved me hours and hours
Jeez, man. You actually make this fight look easy, I am thankful for this guide.
Validating to see that the quick double slash is pretty much something you have to eat unless you change your spec for it. I just couldn't find a way around it and beat him just face tanking it.
For the start of the 2nd phase: You can also start pretty close to him, and then it's not at all guaranteed that he does the big explosion as his first move. In one attempt he even did 5 other attacks before the explosion happened. So don't predict what he's going to do, stay alert at all times.
And one thing I found out by pure coincidence: you can duck under the infamous double sweep relatively easily, I've managed to do it several times without even trying by using Taker's Flame (Blasphemous Blade ash of war) right after the combo he did before. I imagine using something that actively ducks you low, like the beast claws or Blinkbolt, works much more consistently, but I personally haven't tried it yet.
I took to rushing toward him and doing a jumping heavy. If you get close enough he almost never takes off. And he's just kind of in a standing phase for like 1-2 seconds after the transition so it's almost free damage. Might lve been the only time I didn't feel like I was gambling just doing an attack.
if you take a flask he does it basically 100% of the time
With a regular melee build, no shield, no summons, this fight is just so grueling. Him giving you next to no downtime between combos plus having to dodge all the aoe's perfectly always keeps you on your toes. Imo fantastic fight, though maybe a bit overtuned damage wise. Having to play near perfectly for like 5 minutes (if using just a greatsword or sum) gets damn stressful.
I ended up using the mimic after 41 deaths. Though that did not help too much with anything other than it taking a little aggro for me. Was impossible to summon it in the first phase, so I just did it at the start of the second, which left me ready to be one shot by him lmao.
I knew this would be a slogfest. Never used the mimic before, fuck it, I can do this shit without a mimic the next time I play the dlc...
@@thetoyodacar2264 Same with me, first playthrough threw in the towel and melted him down with mimic in 2nd phase, second playthrough really took the time to learn him and ended up getting the kill solo. I found the milady with impaling thrust to match the speed of his recoveries perfectly. Don't give up, skeleton!
@@karu7982 Did not feel like mimic did much more than draw aggro every once in a while, but it probably did help a little with damage as well. Major benefit was time to think and buff.
The move set for light greatswords is amazing.
For some reason, the first playthrough always has me stressed to beat the bosses as quick as I can, instead of just taking my time lmao
@@thetoyodacar2264summon it as soon as you enter and you'll be good you'll just have to dodge quickly but really 9/10 times you'll have enough time to dodge
@@Livan-yuruikami the one time I tried that he smited me lmao, but yeah sometimes he gives you a couple seconds while others he’s on you before you even entered the arena 😂
5 hours with a +9 meteoric greatsword. This boss is built different and probably the hardest fromsoft boss.
same setup here my brother! any luck?
Couldn't find any somber 10😂😂😂
@viniciusmelo4112 Yeah, I beat him in around 5 hours. It was not easy to get hits in safely, I did a lot of light attacks and only did charged attacks during the move when he slashes up and the lights circle around him. Use flame grant me strength and golden vow for buffs to make phase 1 a lot easier. Then it was pretty much just die until I finally got 2nd phase down.
@donalddavid8199 I test weapons out at +9 and then upgrade to 10 if I like them. I forgot to go back and upgrade it fully until after I had already beat him :(
There’s so much dragon sobers how have u not fully upgraded it
This is great! Thx for the tips. This is exactly what i need, no cheese builds, no cheese setups. Just str8 up fighting
I litaraly got to this boss just as you put the video out! Impeccable timing
After over 40 attempts in the last 48 hours I finally took this bastard down! I’m pretty sure I yelled so loud that the neighbors heard me and my wife and dog thought I was crazy! 😂
Antspur rapier + greatshield makes it pretty easy.
Dats boring tho 😂
@innerecho9468 less boring than spending several hours trying to get perfect dodge timings, actually.
@@difficult_aardvark That's what I've been trying, any tips for surviving better on the second phase with all of the holy aerial attacks?
@@Sasquatch33 ya stack Holy resist, golden braid & pearldrake talisman 3
@@innerecho9468 At this point it's more boring losing to him 200 times
4 days of working on him and today it all came together! Feels so nice!
The thing is, most people got hit a ton by the holy beam followups after every slash in his second phase. Although most of his attacks are still the same in motion compare to his first phase, if you were dodging his first phase in the wrong direction (ie, dodging away or in front of him instead of dodging in a circular motion) you get punished heavily by the holy beam followups. The mindgame here is that your brain gets used to the way you dodge his first phase attacks, and then in the second phase when you see the same attacks you react to them the same way you did in the first phase and so you got hit by the beams. FromSoftware really is playing a mindgame with us here.
None of the guides show how to dodge his gravity pull in phase 2 bruh💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Its basically impossible to dodge again xD
You can roll the initial pull but I didnt find a way to dodge everything else, so you just have to just try not to get hit by that
Two weeks running away from spoilers to get this right in my face. Guess Its my fault for opening youtube in the end, right?
Well two weeks is kinda the time frame for things like this even if it’s more like 11 days. I was spoiled really early on unfortunately, really wished it was Godwyn but ahh well.
Yeah... It's bound to happen. Same thing happened to me about some other secrets... Still. The cutscenes are still incredible and hits different when you experience them.
I got spoiled a couple days ago literally 30 minutes of playtime before reaching the boss lol. Had to pause and go to work and i was spoiled on the way there
Giving streamers 1 month early access is the stupidest thing about modern gaming.
I got spoiled before the dlc even released lol
Thanks for the guide, finally managed to clear him with some of the phase 2 tips you had here.
Finally u guys posted this i was wondering where the promised consort radahn vid was at loll
I’m definitely not good enought to beat him alone. Thank god for mimic tear. Took around 20-25 attempts. I thought I had him beat at around the 10th attempt, but I guess he must have had a sliver of health left because he just grabbed me and killed me. I got the “Let us go together” gesture and I thought, “yes, I did it!”, but respawned to a fog wall in front of me. Heartbreaking to be so close!
If you got him that close by yourself you’re definitely good enough
Phase 1: I think I got it
Phase 2: Ah shit
Amazing guide 🙏 thank you so much
the information on the cross slash attack is much appreciated
I got to say it's really impressive how effortless you made it look in the fight at the end. Really well fought
Just a tip, if you are using a summon spirit try and get good enough at phase 1 to summon after he goes into phase 2. The damage suffered in phase one by the aggro swapping isnt worth summoning in that first 65%.
Couldn't get through with a mimic. Ended up summoning help with a huge shield to tank some damage and finally beat him today.
Been waiting on this 🙏🙏🙏
This guide seems to be missing at least 1 major attack that he does. The one he does after the unavoidable gravity pull. He creates stone craggle and gravity around him in a circle for about 2 or 3 seconds. It is barely avoidable if you immediately start rolling away after the gravity pull, but in phase 2 he hadds a lot to it and I cannot figure out how to survive it unless I am full life with a shield.
Don't know if you beat him, but maybe this'll help someone else. I've found that if I start sprinting backwards against the gravity pull as soon as I'm being reeled in, I can make good separation after it lets go, then one dodge roll away as he slams down his swords and I typically escape with 0 damage other than the initial grab. Worth noting that I use a light build and haven't tried it with Med., and there have been several boss combos this DLC where those few extra frames made a huge difference.
Step 1: level STR to 48.
Step 2: upgrade and equip Fingerprint Stone Shield.
Step 3: keep L1 pressed 99% of the time.
Step 4: summon Mimic Tear.
Step 5: whenever Radahn is not even looking at you, use your weapon special.
For the meteor, use one hit protective perfume - it also helps right at the start to summon
OR... you could just use the greatshield/thrusting weapon infused with frostbite magic or bleed magic route. If you wish to summon a mimic tear have them with a great shield and a staff preferably the staff you get from metyr so you can have icecrag or bleed spells with healing magic if the tear is hurt so the mimic will use said spells on their own. have the staff in your hand before you summon the mimic so they spawn in with said gear. this way you shift the aggro between you and the mimic. Beat it on my 5th try.
I don't know why but the Meteor Attack Phase, running back does not work, he always catches to me.
If you haven’t beaten him yet you have to run to the left or right and jump to dodge everything
What the DLC made me realize: there's not really any need to remember bosses' patterns. Just change your build! Go tank/arcane and it becomes a different game. Basically no more "how do I dodge this" and only "where's the opening". Impenetrable thorns is amazing!!!
Epic explanation. I can see the patterns now and can do it this way instead of with a great shield. Thanks
Some stuff I picked up from beating this frustrating madman:
- Deflect tear can really help u when dealing with the Cross Slash Attack. (Deflect, dodge, dodge)
- During the clone part of the meteor attack in phase two, it's much easier to simply block the clones and then dodge the 5th attack.
- Probably mentioned in the video, but its incredibly important to dodge into Radahn's basic combos in phase two.
- If you can spare a sliver of equip load, have a dagger infused with Raptor of the Mists to easily dodge the AOE orbital cannon. Put it as your 2nd right-hand weapon, and pull it out whenever you need it.
I tried a few different types of weapons, and personally, two-handed greatsword felt the best.
Perfect timing
There's a bug that's been happening to me where Thiollier's AI breaks if you summon him and Ansbach.
He won't enter the arena and will die by himself. Leaving you done one NPC against a Radhan who's HP is geared towards two summons.
So in my experience it's only ever worth summoning Ansbach and a mimic tear instead.
Yeah Thollier not being there 70% of the time made the fights longer and Ansbach just casually walking in a circle watching me being beat to a pulp... I ended up having more success just going in on my own. The rollercoaster was unreal. No summons, okay some summon, okay all the summons, okay respec, okay detour for some scadutree, okay everything still hurts and these summons ain't shit... I'm going raw again. Genuine rage and sympathy with negative reviews was sparked that moment. It only dissipated once the boss room was empty.
Same issue here with that fight. I just go in with Ansbach and summon the Mimic for the second phase.
They actually fixed that in the most recent patch a couple days ago so he’a finally active immediately
Wow that was an amazing run against him. Thanks so much for the tips. Super helpful!!
Idk what you operation looks like but damn yall do good work. Thank you fextralife
wouldnt be that hard if my fps didnt drop to 20 with every aoe
Seriously I don't care what anyone says, that 2nd phase is too insane and needs a heavy nerf.
deflecting hardtear makes this much more do-able and is very fun, especially in phase 2 since you can thankfully deflect the holy explosions for some reason. really satisfying to deflect that triple slash and its flashbang follow ups in phase 2
Great video and great DLC. I have just killed him with like 30hp left and then died from the aftershot of a holy beam, but still it was epic journey.
Excellent boss guide and mastery. I Beat him a few hours ago using a high damage dex/arcane build and hiding behind the finger print shield mostly. This truly felt to me like the hardest boss fight they've ever created specifically that second phase even compared to their previous title Sekiro. But it was an incredible nail bitting spectacle that you just won't experience anywhere other than a FromSoftware game. Now that it's over one more completion playthrough to complete my 1600 hr journey in Elden Ring now I'm sad it will probably be a good maybe 3-4 years or longer till Fromsoft's next souls like adventure and I can't wait till they announce it.
4:06 brings so many memories of me spending about week trying to beat Knight Artorias back when I first started playing FromSoft games 😢
Yup it the Lion Claw ash of war move set
@@revanknightjedi172 yeah but a boss doing this move consecutively, Artorias was the first that did it.
For the gravity pull move, you can also start sprinting away and jump almost immediately to avoid, but you got run like another rolls worth of distance to avoid whole attack, usually enough time to throw off a small spell like ghost flame fireball or ice spear ash
I just recently defeated the final boss in the game, and now a guide video comes out. That's my luck
He also has a giant 1 shot nuke in the 2nd phase that isn't covered here
I’ll have to make multiple attempts against him to definitely get the timing down, but thanks for the guide my guy.
dude, what a great video!
i beat him using a greatshield and a spear with bleed, summoning asbach for extra bleed damage and i just kept blocking everything.
it was really streasfull
It’s that slash slash cross slash combo man I stg. Once I get that, it magically becomes doable
Deflecting hardtear for that attack specifically might be good
Some of us might have already beaten Radahn, but at the cost of permanent eye damage from phase 2.
For those who have yet to do so: It's not worth it.
GG, your vid showing up on homepage is the spoiler to endboss
Just got spoiled. Fucking hell.
He's very late to it, most channels did it 6 days ago
@@raghav1026 Yeah I know, kinda where the gg came from. Like congrats for being the one to get me. Avoided everything else. Not too annoyed as I'm right about to get there myself having done everything else first
The 1st phase was ok, that even on my first try I was able to beat it.
The 2nd phase however humbled me pretty quickly 😂
I had to change up my build to be able to get past it. I was using dryleaf arts, but didn't really like for this boss, so changed to bloodfiend arm infused with bleed
Thanks for the help, after 5 hours of trying finally made it.
Worst boss in the dlc. Messmer, Midra & Bayle were challenging, but fun to learn. This guy is such a tank, leaves next to no openings, has ridiculously long combos & hits like a truck. Even Malenia was somewhat fun to learn despite being a bit frustrating, Radahn is just straight up ass. I hated OG Radahn & somehow they made him 1000x worse.
Yeah at least with Malenia she could be stunned, poise broken, and you could actually see her (at also higher than 14fps). This just sucks.
Worst boss ever
There’s significantly worse bosses than this version of Radahn in soulsborne
I wouldn’t even have minded that bs second phase if it was a completely different boss or just miquella himself, the fact that the final boss of all of elden ring is just a less fun reskin makes this fight salt in the wound
And worst boss is gravity.
Read this like the comic book guy from simpsons
Raid boss reloaded. If there would be a third DLC it would be Radahn again only this time he can clone himself.
Jokes aside here is what gear setup worked best for me. Tree sentinel armor, any tower shield (largest guard boost you can get), any talismans you want but golden braid really helps, maxed basic flail with prayerful strike (this is synergizes well with Ansbach summon because you stack bleed together and you heal him a bit). Be aware if using both summons (Ansbach and Thiollier) the boss will have even more HP - I didn't realize this until watching this video 🤣🤣🤣forgot about that mechanic . The tower shield really helps with those tricky to dodge melee attacks, just block instead where possbile. Keep in mind the setup I suggested works best with a tank like build with lots of faith. Had about 40 endurance and arsenal chram so I could use all that without fat rolling.
This works because you can smack him while healing meaning you can trade without getting deleted to the 9th dimension and you can sort of "bypass" the weird timing on some of his melee attacks with the shield.
I finally beat him with my greatsword. First phase was actually pretty normal to deal with but the second one was constant flash banging.
This boss was easily my favorite boss out of possibly any souls game ever. Unlike some other bosses (cough Commander Gaius cough), Radahn is fair.
It's definitely a marathon, but his attacks are very recognizable which makes them easy to read and punish, but you need patience.
Could not disagree more lol... Gaius was freaking cake compared to this.
@@austenmoydell4357 agreed
Whats your build?
No slave knight gale and the nameless king were all about patience this just feels like he spams magic attacks
You can use Raptors of the Mist to dodge the cross slash if you input the ash of war for the first slash
I found you can Vow of the Indomitable through the meteor attack. Just activate it as soon as the first rock is about to hit you
What a Spoiler . Be carefull fwith these kind of videos guys. I didn't face this boss yet and now
Respectfully shut up bro
In that sense, he's late at spoiling compared to many other channels who did it just a day after release.
Bro the games been out for more than a week if you ain’t reached him yet that’s a you problem
@@LongSchlong_Johnson some people have real jobs and kids bro. There's absolutely no reason to put the name and picture. All anyone had to do is say "last boss." I'm sorry your real life is empty save for video games. Doesn't mean you should be okay with spoilers.
@@natediaz1863 then they can try to avoid the internet when reasonable. They giving this out for the people who need a guide and if you ain’t want spoilers then you kinda have to stay off the internet.
The music is very fitting for this fight. So damn epic
Just finished the DLC last night.
Started RL150, ended RL200. SBL19.
Messed up a few NPC quest lines, but now it's time to head to the Lands of Shadow with my Journey 6 character.
Good luck Tarnished!
I’m on day three of this boss now. First phase is no-hit sometimes and second phase is starting to be dialled in. God damn this boss is hard. There are still some attacks that just feel impossible to dodge. The one after the meteors in the second phase with after-images… like what even is that
I had to cheese him by using the op lightning perfume madness combo and even then it still took me at least 10 tries
He doesn’t always do the same starting move. He’s done the gravity pull and savages lion claw so many times on his starting move
My biggest problem with this boss is how much Miquella's hairs cover the blades ,they need to nerf the double slash into the cross move and make the beams and the hairs slightly more transparent and i wouldn't have any more complaints
Use a longer weapon like a great spear or a colossal, and a great shield.
You don't need to guard and poke, but I find it easier (stamina management wise, and headache wise lol) to roll the easy stuff and just block some of the not so easy stuff.
He bleeds really easily. You don't need to cheese him, but having the option to block some of the stuff for better positioning on attacks helps a ton. And he moves so much that you're gonna want something a bit longer like a great katana. Hell, storm blade great katana set on cold is how I got him.
curious if you can do anything after this fight? I went to Trina and got an item, but that's all I've found so far. considering all the npcs are dead not sure what else to try, looking for any new dialogue etc or is there nothing like that?
Gotta thank you. Watched your vid to get past his meteor crash attack and I beat him literally the round after I watched your video
Congrats!
Scarlet Aeonia carried me, it basically skips all of phase 2 until the meteor attack
Excellent guide. Thanks for showing the full fight. Im trying to solo him.
