This is just an approach to playing the game. You’re literally using the mechanics the way they were intended. Not exactly a cheese. Cheesy? Maybe? But who cares? Thanks for the tips man
If your having trouble with radahns fight, get the blasphemous blade and upgrade it to +10 then you want to summon those people and do the special attack
Thanks so much for this guide. Highly effective and made the fight so easy. I defeated Radahn on my second try, first time was because I forgot his second phase lol. Meteorite blew me into smithereens!
Glad I could help! And LOL at the meteor blowing you up on the first go! Same thing happened on my first playthrough 😂 Congrats, and I hope you have a blast with the rest of the game, dude!
Nice one. What makes a really good cheese strategy is one where you can afford to be slightly clumsy, get hit a few times or have unfortunate or bad timing, and yet still jog to an easy victory. 👍
Just because a fight is trivial when it's done this way, that doesn't make it cheese. "Cheese" implies that you're actively avoiding the intended way to fight. This is the intended way to fight Radahn, so it was always meant to be trivial for the people who felt the need to trivialize it.
Fantastic advice!! Got done with Radahn today after dying soooo many times. Read, listened, watched videos, articles, etc, Yours is the best yet,,,thanks again! Now onwards to Nokron...here we go...
If you run back with torrent when the fight starts you can de spawn Radahn and buff and whatnot. After you are ready ride back and he will render back and pull his swords out skipping the arrow spam.
I have tried practically every cheese and this is the one fhat worked. It worked especially well on my faith character. Just earned yourself a new sub, keep up the great work.
@kadhimabdullah they are all NPC summons, so all you have to do is ride around to their summon signs. Most will be right in front of you. When they die, their summons will be placed randomly around the arena, which is massive.
@@actintuffgaming I finally got him by getting a couple hits on him then that took about a quarter of his health. Then i released dragons breath and that took him to a couple inches of health left. From there i let the NPC’s finish him off. Didn’t have to use dragons breath a second time (thats usually what killed me)
Youre welcome! Hope your playthrough is a blast! I've got guides for every major boss fight in the base game and dlc so hopefully I'll see you on another video!
awesome. im finally here at radahn. i respeced so cant use rotten breath now. it was nerfed awhile ago so appears not as effective. but i have rock sling and meteor staff so he should be fairly easy. ill let you know
Looking forward to hearing about it! I only did this a month ago so i think rotten breath still works, if you end up wanting to give it a shot on another playthrough!
@@actintuffgaming so first time in i died running around trying to summon the npcs lol. second time in i ran around faster and summoned them. then hit him with the rock sling spell over and over. i had the physick that gives me unlimited fp for a bit so was able to cast quite a few in a row. got him to second phase and summoned a few more back and finished him off. fun fight. i remember watching people fight him a couple years ago and thinking i could never beat him lol
Thank you so much very helpful but you want to hit him with the dragons breath 2-3 times first phases and 1-2 times second phases at least I had to but then again im not a magic build but thanks for the vid
I had an issue with this, during his second phase the scarlet rot seemed to stop working and just stopped affecting him altogether. Is this me not hitting him with the rotten breath enough or is it part of the game? Edit: I figured out that I didn't use it enough. It worked well and this is a great strategy 👍
Has this been updated or something? scarlet rot isnt doing damage over time to him for me... edit: you have to hold down rotten breath for it to inflict scarlet rot
You earned a sub like and comments for this one man… I best rahdan in 3 tries lol. By far easiest best method ever. Mogh and Fire Giant were dramatically harder because of this method
Worked like a carm i split my flasks 8/2 red/blue. Mainly kep respawning summons and hitting him with rotten breath i left the arena with 4 red flasks Left.
Glad it helped, and thanks for letting me know! Ive got other elden ring guide videos on my channel with more on the way too. Hope to see you in future comment sections!
Need to hold the button to completely exhaust your magic bar. If that doesn't work, do it again. That will trigger scarlet rot which will cause his health bar to constantly deteriorate
Lol if this the current radahn, idk what to say. Apparently he used to be stronger so ill forsake the minions. You can cheese this dude by resummoning dead minions
@@ImARealHumanPerson no kidding. im on ng2 and this round i decided to not have access to any weapon i didn't find or imbue with the special sauces. i still beat him, he's not that hard unless the damage or speed of attack increases. now let me tell you, maliketh and melania still make me use my dishonorable methods of winning the fight
Bro what am I doing wrong as soon as he lands with the meteor attack the rot breath effect disappears...I hit him 3 times like you said and he keeps losing the scarlet rot effect....what do I do to make him like in the video does not remove the rot effect as soon as the meteorite lands
Hes definitely not been patched. Are you able to inflict him with scarlet rot where his health bar constantly deteriorates to start the fight? Or are you saying that he has scarlet rot and his health bar is dropping constantly during phase 1, but when he flies away he loses scarlet rot and his health bar stops dropping?
Awesome!! Was dreading facing Radahn again so I could finally get to the DLC...but thanks to you this worked - on the 1st try lol! So easy!! Thank you!
I am a very new soulsplayer, and i really suck at perfectly timing all the rolling and i used this method and after my about 10th try i beat radahn thank you you are a lifesaver and i subbed
Thx for great video, this helped A LOT! Managed get 2 rotten breaths on boss on first phase but in second effect wears of and made second phase a alot harder. But I finished boss with my bow while summons handled agro and managed even use rune buffing item to score 91k runes!
Holy shit fude thank you so freaking much, this SAVED me. For those wondering make sure u also have some extra Cerulian Tear flasks to restore FP if needed
If you're talking about the first hit, I did get hit. I'm using opaline Bubble Tear though so it negates damage. If it's others, then idk. I always dodge in these games so I've gotten decent at it.
@@actintuffgaming bro don’t worry it’s OK. I asked someone if they can help me and they shot him I know I’m going to get clowned for using people to help me in boss fights😭
@@Icy_film if people clown on you for that, then they just suck. It's part of the game and the developers made entire systems around summoning. Play however's most fun for you and forget the haters. Best of luck, dude!
@@actintuffgamingyou too bro Thanks for having my back bro and if you were wondering what boss I’m on i’m on rykard do you have any tips on fighting him?
Surprisingly clean voice over quality. For the size of the channel at least. Color me impressed.
Thanks!
This is by far the greatest guide I’ve seen to defeating Radahn. Maybe not a “cheese” method but it sure did feel like it 😂
Thanks! Initially, it was so easy it felt like a cheese, but i now agree with everyone saying its not. Its just a super efficient strategy 🤣
IT definitely is cheese. However its mechanics the game intends for us to use so yea cant really be mad at it
Great guide. Spent 8 hours fighting the boss and I did it first try with this. Much thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching and letting me know it helped!
@@actintuffgamingwait how do you get those weapons and what stats do u need for that weapon and/or spell
This is just an approach to playing the game. You’re literally using the mechanics the way they were intended. Not exactly a cheese. Cheesy? Maybe? But who cares? Thanks for the tips man
Totally agree with that sentiment now. You and others have opened my eyes to the definition of cheese lol
man you have such a positive attitude, sky’s the limit. Best of luck to you bud. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Blessed vid, I had such a bad build I just needed a win. Ty homie
Appreciate you, dude! Good job!
Thanks man I was stuck on this guy and this helped a lot
Glad it helped!
Your the absolute best i was to nervous to do it seen this tried it best him first try soo happy lool
Thank you so much.
I really underestimated the effect of rot on him.
Youre welcome!
For some reason, when he becomes the comet he get rid of the scarlet rot.
Same with me
This worked VERY well! Easiest Radahn fight I have ever had!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!

Plus his method is shit 98 % of the time
he jus wants views lol 😂
True, I’m doing an insanity run and this ain’t helping at all
Bro you are the best. I've just defeated Radahn with this, I don't know what to say, you save me at least 6 hours of torment lol
Thanks, man! Great job beating him!
Tysm bro I’ve been trying to beat radahan for soooo long and after countless guides this one actually helped me thanks so much man
Youre welcome, dude! Happy to help and thanks for letting me know it worked well for you!
Great vid. Short and sweet. Just got a new sub.
Thanks!
When i saw rot as a weakness i didn't think it would be
that good agaisnt him!
tbh I was shocked when I saw how well it worked lol
I essentially did the same thing but without the fancy spells and weapons. Just kept summoning and staying away
Simple, yet effective!
Worked on my second attempt. Thanks friend!!
Well done! You're welcome, bud!
Thank you this actually help a lot can’t thank you enough!

Nope @@kadhimabdullah

I struggled so hard with radahn till I tried this method and I got him first try with it. Pretty easy
Congrats, dude! Enjoy the rest of the game!
Thanks so much! I used some rot breath and let the summons do the rest of the work, I must say, favourite boss so far!
Glad you enjoyed the fight! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow yeah that made the fight 100x easier. I never even came close to the second phase and as soon as i picked up rotten breath. I beat him first try.
Best strategy you just have to be patient and time your rotten breath attack correctly.
You make it sound so easy. He always looks at me and stabs me when i get close enough for the attack
Lol he can be a pain! I tried to be patient and let my summons have aggro before I attacked.
@@actintuffgaming I finally got him by getting a couple hits on him then that took about a quarter of his health. Then i released dragons breath and that took him to a couple inches of health left.

am your 1000th sub congrats!
Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much, I was fighting this boss for 3 days
Happy to help! Good job!
This is actually my preferred way of doing this fight now 🤣
Used it quite a lot since you posted this.
Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
thank you so much bro, i was stuck on this fight for like 2 hours and then i tried this and got him first try 😭 definitely subbing
Congrats! Thanks a lot!
I'm playing on a new character doing a dex build (only used magic before), this guy was destroying me. Thanks for the cheese!
Youre welcome! Hope your playthrough is a blast! I've got guides for every major boss fight in the base game and dlc so hopefully I'll see you on another video!
did this method and beat him first try YOU LEGEND !!!
Lets go!!!! Good job, bro!
Good content brother! I love you!
Love you too, man!
Thank you, will try this when i get home :)

@@actintuffgaming think i only need 5 levels to use it but im at 36000 for one level so…
Lol yeah that could be more trouble than its worth. Either way, im excited to hear how you defeat him!

It doesn’t work fully but gets him quite low if you use breath twice , and then you can go in and kill him
Interesting that it didn't take him down all the way for you. I think my talisman was leveled up slightly, maybe?
@@actintuffgaming ye probably
@@actintuffgaming but it still worked well so thank you for the help
Youre welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@actintuffgaming you have earnt a subscriber

Glad you figured it out! Thanks for letting me know it worked well for you!
i dont know if i would call it a cheese but its great to find these videos while struggling with a boss, thanks!
Agreed now that others have said the same thing! Thanks for letting me know it helped!
Doing the Lord's work, been trying to kill this a hole for a few days now lol.
🤣 Thanks, man! Great job beating him, and i hope my other videos can help in the future!
Took me three tries to be Radahn and one was before I watched this video
I love it. Thanks for letting me know!
Has this been updated or something? scarlet rot isnt doing damage over time to him for me...
edit: you have to hold down rotten breath for it to inflict scarlet rot
this worked great. thanks for the guide!
You earned a sub like and comments for this one man… I best rahdan in 3 tries lol. By far easiest best method ever. Mogh and Fire Giant were dramatically harder because of this method
Thanks, Rob! Did you use my fire giant and Mohg methods too?
Worked like a carm i split my flasks 8/2 red/blue. Mainly kep respawning summons and hitting him with rotten breath i left the arena with 4 red flasks Left.
im not an npc ass person listen this shi is the best way to beat him easy af thanks for the time bro keep up the work g
Thanks, dude!
i was struggling with that big ass mf for 4 hours and this dude let me beat him in one try
he deserved to be cheese for those unoviadable ass attacks
bro just run with your horse behind him and when he turns turn with him and get attacks in between turns he won't even hit you he will just run
Thanks for the strat!
You're welcome, did it work for you@actintuffgaming ?
@@renderedits1829 I haven't fought him again since I made this video but I'll try it next time
I didn’t know u could summon and also my summons like the ones I have don’t work but the yellow ones do
Thanks so much. This one actually helped the most. Best advice…hit him with it while he’s distracted and run away before he blasts you
Glad it helped, and thanks for letting me know! Ive got other elden ring guide videos on my channel with more on the way too. Hope to see you in future comment sections!
first try with this! thanks so much bro you rock
Appreciate you letting me know! You rock too, dude!
Amazing mate, just amazing.
Thanks!
Excellent shit. I recall using rot on my first character. Think I'll use it again on the 6th, lol
Rot ftw! You gonna do a new playthrough for Shadow of the Erdtree?
I can’t thank you more. The Rot stuns Him so good I didn’t even have to try. YOU Earned Yourself a new SUB🎉🥳🎊
Glad it worked so well! Thank you!!!
for some reason my rotten breath isn’t doing that much damage i’m really confused
Need to hold the button to completely exhaust your magic bar. If that doesn't work, do it again. That will trigger scarlet rot which will cause his health bar to constantly deteriorate
@@actintuffgaming i actually got it i used a strategy by just using arrows and the ally summons and it worked really easy
Insane bro!! It made this fight actually easy. That’s so wild.
Yeah it's crazy lol
Lol if this the current radahn, idk what to say. Apparently he used to be stronger so ill forsake the minions. You can cheese this dude by resummoning dead minions
He was stronger at release but imo he wasnt nerfed too much. Have fun with the fight and let us know how it goes!
This still worked even at release.

Thanks, dude!
Best. Advice. Ever. Rotten Breath. Thanks, been trying for days, with this got him first try 😊
Awesome! Congrats and thanks!
Nice! This was how I took him down too 👍 Maybe not the hardcore way, but it works 😅
For sure! His health bar says 0 so it counts lol
Hey man can you please tell me , in order to inflic rot , how mauch level is required
To use rotten breath you need to have 12 Arcane. Scarlet rot inflicts when you damage an enemy with a certain amount of rotten breath.
@@actintuffgaming thank you buddy
does swarm of flies work as well for the rot?
I think that only builds up blood loss
he kills all the summoned people for me
Thanks, worked like a charm
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
This is how I beat him my first time
Youre a smarter man than me lol. I suffered through being a strength character in the launch version of him 😆
Using dragon breath but he still kills me
A few people didn't use their full magic bar in one go. You need to hold it down until the bar is empty. Are you doing that?
tysm bro literally got it 1st try
Great job! You're welcome!
You deserve a million dollars
Thanks, dude! You do too!
Ok, this is the strategy to follow. Worked for me first try. Thank you.
Youre welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment
Bro what am I doing wrong as soon as he lands with the meteor attack the rot breath effect disappears...I hit him 3 times like you said and he keeps losing the scarlet rot effect....what do I do to make him like in the video does not remove the rot effect as soon as the meteorite lands

Great work, dude! Happy to help :)
Helli again! this video really helped me with radahn since i was getting abused, thank you very much.
Good to see you again ails! Thanks for letting me know it helped. Hope youve been well! See you on another vid soon!
I don’t need to hotheaded anything just need to be able to use dragon breath ?
Correct
Great video method saved me
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU IT WORKED
I am a very new soulsplayer, and i really suck at perfectly timing all the rolling and i used this method and after my about 10th try i beat radahn thank you you are a lifesaver and i subbed

Rolling is literally the worst defense strat btw... Try blocking parrying jumping or sidestepping instead. Jump strafing also works pretty well
@@ronindeathx8051 Hard disagree but to each their own.
@@actintuffgaming true but seriously though you'll notice certain improvements in your game if you use rolling as a last resort

Thanks for the comment! Loved reading your story!
Omg, my finger maiden summon refused to heal me… am I that ugly?

The rot breath doesnt stick to him
Are you holding down the button to use the full magic bar? Nearly everyone else with the same issue was just tapping the button.

Does the rotten breath still work?
Yep! I did this about a month ago
How do i do rotten breath whlie on the horse
I havent done it before but i read just now to hold triangle/y and press r1/rb
Its not cheese ... it was fair use of bacteriological weapon 😅
Thanks for idea !
