If there's any int/fai build out there who dont want to respec, you can use impenetrable thorns sorcery to bleed him out, the bleed effect increases with arcane stats but it isn't necessary (I only had 10 points in arcane and did just fine). Granted it's harder than the shield method and you actually have to dodge his attacks but it still works and may save you a larval tear. Good luck.
I use Verdigris Greatshield(better Stab for more poke)+Queelign's Greatsword(Infused with Poison+Bleed/Frost+Bleed, but any poke weapon will do fine); for talisman I have Greatshield Talisman, Dragoncrest Shield Talisman and Pearlshield Talisman, last one is up to you(more holy/magic res if needed); for armor set just use whatver that gives the highest amount of magic and holy res, then just poke away
This is 100% an RNG-dependent method. It took me 6 hours for my mimic not to die in the middle of the second phase. I would bait Radhan, play perfect defense, save my mimic from getting hit while not getting hit myself, go into the second phase with 13 flasks, my mimic with 90% health, only for him to forget about the blood magic, trying to poke Radhan from up close and getting hit by every single magic from Miquella. As soon as he died, there was nothing i could do considering the slowness of the weapon and the fact that blocking in the second phase still gets you hit and you have almost no window to counter strike. Had i known this had absolutely no dependance on skill and 100% on the RNG Gods, i would have rather spent a couple of hours on trying to learn him and solo him, i beat every boss solo/quality build but i got so burned out by the DLC i just wanted it to be done with it. I'm glad it's over.
Radahn be the kind of boss that you beat once or twice, then will probably ignore in all other playthroughs because it just feels like a waste of time, or "yeah, would have to respec again for that instead of enjoying the weird build that worked through the whole dlc". Still, am curious to try this one out though, defeated him using other kinds of "cheese", but none as effective as this here.
Thanks. I had just changed to a dex build a bit before the boss and wasn't even close to beating him. This build made it easy. The only things I did differently were using rot pots and summoning mimic only at the start of the second phase.
Ooooh hate to say it there is a much easier cheese then the spare/shield reaping crossbow and a great shield dose wonder with rot bots and blood loss bots plus mimic tear boom
@@genogrant5478 to you maybe, but for those who may not have the time to sit there for 12 hours straight dying constantly, they may want an easier solution. Let people play how they want.
This was the build that finally worked for me. Some of the other “cheese” build like perfume bottles and impenetrable thorns were effective at damage but relied too much on RNG and just weren’t working for me. This one was soooo much easier. Not flashy in terms of damage but safe and effective. I beat him in 3 attempts. I couldn’t believe how much easier the fingerprint shield made the fight. Shield poking truly is OP.
The problem for me is that I am on ng+4 and over level 350. Strength, dexterity, and faith are my build. Not only is he the hardest boss I have fought, but he's insanely broken in his 2nd phase. He makes the crucible knights look like amateurs.
"I used teh ant spear rapier with seppku for bloodlost/rot ..."dont let the mimic tear get aggroo" i wish i had this problem. the fucking mimic was walking around missing point blank light attacks and useless this entire DLC. they mus have nerf them hard af. i had it leveled up too- made the whole thing way more difficult haha- had to try and do this ng+7 and it killed me-
blackknight tiche plus 10 is effective so far for the dlc i got the first 2 major bosses down with just her in less than 5 tries with a pure magic no shield build but magic dont hit like it used to on bosses thats for sure.
I have wasted so many upgradable materials trying out these weapons for these guides and his health does not go down in the second phase. using the meteorite great sword it wouldn’t even tickle him so like everything that I like to use, I can’t use against this guy.
@@Metalsurfboard the mimic tear is important in this fight with the mogh spyr u should let him go to the second phase with the mimic healthy and he will do the work
@@Valloy03 if u wanna prove it, remove talismans at all. Ur showing build with 4 useless talismans. Why didn't u show useful one? Like 2 shield talismans? Turtle? Green+3???
lol play like what using in game mechanics that been around since launch to overcome a boss instead of summoning your op friend to nuke him with spirit ashes do almost no damage besides bleed and there ai is terrible so they don’t block for themselves often souls elites don’t like people using their brain because at the end of the day even tho I beat Radahn without spirit ashes using bleed build no shield after 200 tries the 2nd phase is way too inconsistent to learn to dodge every single attack and having multiple aoe moves is bullshit
@@yeahfyi3508it’s not most of the attacks are the exact same as first phase but with a light follow up that literally is just visual since dodging the swing is gonna dodge the light beam. All of his new attacks aren’t even hard ether like the grab and AOE explosion. Get gud homie
@@okthisisepic9218 bro he does 17 afterimages and flies around the map, you dodge the initial attack to get hit buy the light beams behind you it’s a bullshit boss and I love Elden ring

Yes, it goes against the whole point of the game being a RPG, I can accept the difficulty of the rest of the DLC, but they should nerf the final boss
Every single boss backs off even for a few seconds. This isn't game design, it's a barrage with 1 or 2 build types that will survive it.
Thanks. I had just changed to a dex build a bit before the boss and wasn't even close to beating him. This build made it easy. The only things I did differently were using rot pots and summoning mimic only at the start of the second phase.
I don't know if fromsoft will made a stupid boss design like this ever in the future
I hope not… but to make a move like waterfowl then make a boss like this, it is not a good look at all.
Ooooh hate to say it there is a much easier cheese then the spare/shield reaping crossbow and a great shield dose wonder with rot bots and blood loss bots plus mimic tear boom
I can’t tell you how satisfying it was beating Mesmer like this but the bloody lance is better than mogs spear
That doesn’t look satisfying at all

@@Untouchable11020 glad the video was usefull
Thanks my lord, I spent more 40 times for failing and this is save my day
Thanks bro just beat him, took me waaaaay too many tries doing it with a dex build, so I gave up and went with this

Finally beat him cus of u, have a sub 😼😼😼
Omg thank you so much man!! Thanks to you I was finally able to beat them after like 200+ tries. You earned a new sub! ❤❤
Glad it was usefull thanks for you're comment and sub❤
This helped alot i did it after a few tries tysm🤩
@@Gyros. With pleasuuure glad it helpee
Use deflecting tear much fun, a bit harder but allow you guard counter. Great rapier 25+ RKR AOW deal massive damage.
The problem for me is that I am on ng+4 and over level 350. Strength, dexterity, and faith are my build. Not only is he the hardest boss I have fought, but he's insanely broken in his 2nd phase. He makes the crucible knights look like amateurs.
Thanks mate, got him today, with the help of a great summons...
His second phase is absolute bs, I lost hope 😂
my vigor is not that high anyways it’s at 40
I. Holding block he still killin me lol
This does not work. He'll break your stamina and you'll lose 65% of your health. I've already tried this.
Quite literally, especially in NG+7
Use the shield talisman
Im not even joking, i beat him first try with this build! Crazy good
I saw another guy use a rapier and a shield so that's how i killed him and solo, no mimic
"I used teh ant spear rapier with seppku for bloodlost/rot ..."dont let the mimic tear get aggroo" i wish i had this problem. the fucking mimic was walking around missing point blank light attacks and useless this entire DLC. they mus have nerf them hard af. i had it leveled up too- made the whole thing way more difficult haha- had to try and do this ng+7 and it killed me-

I like antspur better...also "no skill" on shield

Im going to assume this is possible with the two npc cooporator summons aswell or will it take more time cause the boss will scale with the summons?
@@clutchsky_vinyl yes its possible cause you will be more able to stack bleed
Gotta hand it to ya. Took some attempts but the strategy worked like a charm that stone shield was a life saver
its my pleasure
Wow in first time ❤
Is he immun to scarlet rot or frostbite ?
I dont think so but what is known is that he is weak to bleed
he is weak to frost and bleed, but u can still rot him with like 2-3 pots easily
Easy!
the fps stealer boss
😢 true hard to dodge this
Nice
What are those talismans.😂😂😂
poise and health talismant just to show that u can win with any talismants

want to watch a boss guide cause radahn is too hard
he summons mimic tear
Thx you
whats the point of killing him in the main game then bring him back from the dead in dlc. it doesn't make sense
how do people play like this, there’s no compensation
