oh god good question, i think like lvl9 or something? i've missed so much of the dlc from just playing blind and completely taking the wrong route to radahn, i'm guessing i was supposed to have it maxxed or something?

9 is pretty damn low, nice one. Max scadu is unnecessary but I'd guess most people did it in the 14-18 range

@@WH1SK3YJ4CK 14 to 18? i didn't know there was so many fragments available to get you that many scadutree blessings! god i've got a lot of work to do in prep for another dlc run in ng+4.

thank you! it took me 40 something attempts. it's weird that strength based frost damage was the only way i ever got him, most people i saw online didn't have the self-spite and hatred i did to do this with a strength build. support incants. ftw!

​@@ladyofthedarkmoonlotusbro only 40?

On my first playthrough i was so pissed off at this fight i thought it soured the whole experience. Summoned some shield poke guy to pretty much do it for me. Subsequent playthroughs i really put the time into learning and now i love this fight. It's so much harder than anything else ,you really need to lock in. I've also come to like the way he's in your face all the time and i dont need to chase after him (Romina). Him, Gauis, and Messmer are my favourites. I beat him pre-nerf multiple times and it's really the only fight in the game that requires real effort now. I love my claw builds. I will say, particularly when helping other players his mid-aggro 180 pivots are BS though. It seems a common theme in DLC. I get that it's not as 'fun' as the base game fights and it's does like it's far as the Fromsoft control scheme could go so who knows what we'll get in the future.

i think it really misses the mark since you can just slap a greatshield on and first try him :/ i think phase one is amazing and the aoe's ruin phase 2

With all respect, I disagree with your vision of phase 2, and I say this as a strong critic of this boss fight in general. Radahn is one of those fights that heavily punishes players who fight without trying to learn his moveset, and fighting him with summons doesn't help the cause because the windows in his pattern will be incomprehensible. These windows, especially after the patched cross-slash, are surprisingly constant with a bit of trial and error and with some knowledge of his moveset in mind, and it is seriously false to state that the player needs to put a specific setup to beat him. I want to specify that I don't criticize the use of summons, and I like how they were designed in this game, but fighting hard bosses with them doesn't give you a clean, realistic and complete vision regarding said bosses. FromSoftware was smart in giving the players that sensation of terror with Radahn because they know that most of the community plays the game without actually learning and relies too much on the generous mechanics that Elden Ring gives, and this is why so many people found him difficult. And with this I'm not trying to say it was easy, just a misunderstood boss, as a decently experienced player regarding challenge runs in RPGs. I also want to specify that mine is not an attempt to brag or attack any player in general, because it all boils down to how much experience one has with this kind of challenge and how much the player has understood regarding the combat system and builds, so everyone has its own style, and it is subjective, as it should be. But I think that the idea of Radahn the devs had in mind was more something among the lines of reaching the limit of the Elden ring combat formula (as the final boss of a DLC should be), instead of something ''unbalanced'' or ''impossible'', which Radahn isn't, once the player has a cleaner vision reagarding the boss function.

real. opened the game for the first time to be presented w 3 pretty standard weapons, then got given an entire fcking glaive. had to pick the glaive. glaives are dope.
