The Controversial Hardest Boss Ever Made - Elden Ring . Fromsoftware may have gone a little too far or.. Not far enough in some fans minds. In the pursuit of outdoing the hardest boss ever made, the DLC shadows of the erdtree might have made the strongest contender for controversial boss we have seen in the series which includes the bed of chaos! This video will delve into the story of the DLCs hardest boss and one that borders on community love or hatred, but time is the best friend you can ever ask for when it comes to these conversations so buckle in with me and really make sure that you have ‘the build’ as we take on the final boss of the dlc Consort Radahn and Miquella!

Very much enjoyed the DLC, will have to say that some people need to learn not to spoil or ruin it. 👀
radahn is bs
@@lorencalfe6446 No he’s not. Skill issue
@@Mister_Puffins
A game that gatekeeps itself is bliss
I enjoyed so much it was easy for me
Hate him or love him, Consert Rahdan is a prime example of why we fight most Souls bosses past their prime.
That Rahdan wasn't even prime Rahdan. That was a younger version of himself that lost to Margot back in intro cutscene. Prime Redahn was the one that bodied Milania
@@xironheadx-4590you’re gonna tell me this guy, which is literally called a "god boss" at the end of the fight is weaker than morgott lore wise? There is zero evidence for that and it makes no sense whatsoever
@@xironheadx-4590 more like got bodied by Malenia
@xironheadx-4590 It is implied to be his prime. Plus he has the mind of himself after fighting malenia, so he would have all his post malenia battle skills. His body being closer to the look of pre-morgott doesnt make it not his prime. Also if he was only as strong as morgott then he wouldnt be miquella's consort now would he?
@Chaos_knight553 Prime Radahn is shown being overwhelmed by Morgott in the games intro.
THIS version of Radahn though, in Mohg’s corpse and amplified by Miquella’s new god form, would likely crush Morgott. DLC Radahn should be the strongest character we see by a ways.
For the phase 2, they can just swap Radahn for a white screen and I doubt anyone would notice
With the "you died" screen.
FTFY.
White screen at least would have consistent fps
Let's never wonder out loud what a boss would be like at their full strength again thnx
We’ll never see full power Gwyn 😢

You're basically fighting Radahn in Mohg's body possessed by Miquella. It's 3 demi Gods and their skillsets we fight in that battle -- gravity, bleed and holy damage abound 💔

@@berzgaming1039 so 4 demigods🥰
now that you put it like that I see why he’s so op. It’s a 1v4. One god versus four demigods.
This boss is a walking flashbang lobotomy
This is the most accurate shit I’ve ever read
I feel as if they toned down the lightning a little? I remember the first time seeing it. Apart from burning my fps it was burning my retinas aswell. It doesn't feel as bad now for me. I also didn't change my brightness nor gamma.
@@theone7059 I think you're right. I first encountered him pre-patch and I thought that ER trolled me again. I applauded them for finally not flashing Bandai Namco in my face, just to make me lose my eyesight in the final round. Voluntarily. Over and over again.
But when I finally beat him past patch, it really didn't feel that bad anymore.
I can't even play this fight because his light attacks causes freeze frames, the screen freezes then i lose all my health in the next frame. They should at least fix the lag issues, a 3070 should not be having lag issues according to their pc requirements
miquella definitely should’ve had an epilepsy warning when he walked out
Miquella is so strong that he killed me and my GPU.
Cpu? Oh Shit than
Literally the only boss ever that made me play this game at the lowest graphics setting. With still some frame drops during the T pose light nuke attack. Truly bs
What is this why does my GPU have a moveset! 🤬

"its an RPG, what role am i playing? The victim?"
-someone suffering in the hand of rykard.
seems like the devs forgot how restricted the character’s movement is when designing the fight
if we had the bloodborne dash this would’ve been so much better
There are so many bosses in elden ring that I would do very unsavory things to be able to fight them with a hunter or Sekiro
Agreed. Many bosses in this DLC were clearly never tested in a meaningful way and the devs should actually factor in build-choices and the fact that Elden Rings controls suck with the buffering of inputs and the literal delay in rolling. Souls Bosses were hard but fair because they were methodical and reliant on conscious choice rather than the muscle memory we have to rely on now.

Soul of Cinder is on the cover of DS3...
@@BBQcheesesoul of cinder was not a dlc...
Truly the dark souls of marketing
the biggest issue I had with waterfowl dance is lack of clarity. Players didn't figure out how to dodge it by being careful and watching for gaps in the attack, because visually there aren't any. They had to painstakingly discover through trial-and-error the dodge timings and directions to exploit invisible gaps in the hitboxes.
Radahn's 2nd phase is just that, over and over. All clarity is thrown away for spectacle and it bludgeons any fairness in learning. There is only trial-and-error.
is learning not trial and error? Its just a lot of it. the issue is the sheer scale of attacks, not that each one is bullshit. I’ll agree that waterfowl is kind of bs (if you don’t recognize when malenia likes to throw it and can prepare for it), but most of consort radahns attacks are just normal swings with some delayed area denial, pretty similar to the mohg boss fight fittingly. The one attack i didnt like was his repeated flash of light down slams after his rock throw in phase 2. That attack is impossible to read visually much like waterfowl.
@@heckogoop4318It’s trial and error in the sense that basically no one is going through his second phase first try without a build that hard counters him. Most other bosses might have some trial and error moves but as a whole beating even a boss like Orphan or Isshin first try is very much possible on a blind playthrough.
If you've learned Radahn's 1st phase, you already learned 70% of the 2nd phase's moveset. Don't get intimidated by the flashing lights.
@@cherdnad2630problem is the 30% left are frequently 1 shots so you never have the chance to properly study his moves
@@sturmmagnunstein1008 He doesn't have a one shot if you have armor/dragoncrest Tali/high Scadu. The only "one shot" I can think of is the clone attack he does on the ground but that attack will miss if you're close to him. Which I think is one of the reasons I find him easier than Malenia as Malenia's Waterfowl is a "one shot" for me.
I think the problem is people are fighting him with low to mid Scadu fragments.
If you’re struggling with this absolute beast of a boss here are some tips.
-never roll backwards in second phase
-you can strafe his grab attack if you run around him
-for his slice/slice/double slice attack, roll really early for the first attack
-great shields are amazing against him
- his flying meteor attack can be dodged by running to one side and jumping before they hit you
-fast weapons with status effect, particularly rot and bleed are good as well
Hope this helps
i can't help myself from rolling backwards.
its a reflex.
i see big swords coming at me, its sort of just ingrained in my head to dodge away from them, not _towards_ them.
@@ZugzugZugzugsoni tried dodging towards but guess what,the camera allows you to see nothing and you literally eat the next attack
His cross slash or the slash, slash, double slash also starts from the right side of radahn. If your going for the frame perfect dodge, keep your eyes locked on that arm.
Just parry. He's so easy parrying him
My boy Radahn didn’t consent to shit
Miquellested 😂
Justice for Radahn and Mohg
Actually he did consent 😐
@@luisplasencia2876 proof? why would miquella have malenia kill radahn for him if he consented?
@@luisplasencia2876 Why would he stop the stars if he was gonna die anyway for the vow? He didn't consent to shit.
One thing. Boss is not weak to stagger damage. He is literally the boss with the biggest stagger bar.
I wouldn’t say that. More so that because his attacks are very long, the stagger “meter” begins to regenerate and makes him harder to stagger. 3 great sword guard counters can get him as long as his combos give you the time to land the hits.
Brother I was staggering him with backhand blades lol it isn’t that bad, I Imagine it’s very easy with star fist or a great sword
Even with powerstanced Greatswords and the poise break tear, I wasn't able to poise break him without dying. So I just went with fingerprint shield + antspur rapier
@@es-rh8oo what??? You couldn’t stance break with a 2 great swords? Wtf I got at least 1 stagger every fight with fucking tiny blades and 1 charged attack and the rest jumps and r1
I hit him with the thorns and staggered him easily.
I mean, it is a literal god mounted on top of a demi god in another demigods body.
This is the only game in history where when it says 'God slain', you truly felt that you did indeed slay a God.
Miquella was like “You made a vow”
The vow: “Over my dead body”
Miquella: “Those terms are acceptable.”
@@jacobtrout2303Malenia: "Allow me to introduce myself" *proceeds to nuke the fuck outta Caelid*
I think Mogh was the one who said “over my dead body”😂
And Miquella replied:
"I can make that happen."
You know I see no one talking about just how much Rahdan would actually love us and just how fucking excited he would be to fight us. Hearing about a tarnish that's running around gathering greatrunes would get that big man so happy, he might even throw a festival just so we come to fight him. For us it would be a terrifying experience, for him he would be like a teenage girl preparing for a highschool prom
Damn right, that's exactly why a lot of people don't like his return as Miquella's puppet.
That's uh...some wild fantasy you got there
The Nth souls game sad factor: We never fight Radahn in full possess of his mind. He's either zombified by the Scarlet Rot or bewitched by Miquella. The strongest demigod on the planet, always reduced to his worse possible condition. And he still kicks ass. Love the character, but really pity him too.
@@fatalexception3845pretty sure Radahn as Miquella’s consort is peak condition for him though. Not only is he in his prime but he also has ALL of the combat and magic knowledge from his past life (since it’s the same soul) AND he has the amplification of Miquella’s abilities. Radahn was NOT in bad condition at all for his final battle
@@KingdomKeyJT Pretty sure he was talking about his state of mind as how he said in the first sentence he said. I'd even say the Starscourge Radahn is still in a fine condition physically. He can turn into a meteor, ride his horse with gravity magic, and also still hold the stars while basically being a mindless zombie. He's gotten better as Consort Radahn but now he has super kewl holy nuke powers from Miquella.
Every other boss in this game, I’ve beaten them with no armor and truly nothing but a lordsworn greatsword, not even crab. This was very hard to do and I died many thousands of times, around 200 just to Malenia.
All those bosses are easy next to Consort Radahn. They’re truly not even in the same league. I couldn’t imagine a fromsoft boss that was harder than malenia, but Radahn definitely is. I’ve died close to 400 times and honestly, it doesn’t look like the end is near. I can’t even get him consistently to 30% health. His first phase is fine, it’s the Miquella+Radahn phase that’s the problem. It’s easily the hardest boss ever in a fromsoft game. He has moves that I still don’t know how to consistently dodge, and he leaves virtually no openings on anything he does. Every attack he throws explodes later and wrecks you. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took me a thousand attempts to beat this guy with my barebones setup.
People complaining about difficulty... the boss is learnable BUT the double slash into cross is BS, his clones are very inconsistent and sometimes clip you, sometimes they dont... and visually, that fight sucked. I dont think he needs to get nerfed but i think he needs to be adjusted on the tracking of some attacks and probably the speed of the double cross slash.
People simply telling you to git gud have no concept of balance, they will simply say that to ANYTHING, doesnt matter how stupid the game gets xb
I mean that’s technically a nerf, but it’s not a bad nerf since it would just make the fight more fair
Honestly, if they just fixed the cross slash combo then the fight would've been completely fine gameplay-wise. People just need to git gud. Though I also agree that fight looks terrible visually. It's like a Radahn Fanboy anime kid thought that adding him again with "super cool" ultra light beam holy nuke powers would look "so awesome". The Light beams don't even hinder my vision of the fight unlike the other people but it still looks like a cluttered over the top flashy mess that just doesn't look cool imo. Don't even get me started on the meteor attack lmao, it looks so bad compared to Starscourge Radahn's actual meteor attack. Fromsoft just wanted to make it even more over the top but ended up making it worse.
Overall, fIght isn't bad gameplay-wise, but visually and even lore-wise it sucks.
@@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime i mean technically yes xb i see it more as a fix xb
The double slash ABSOLUTELY needs to be nerfed. The startup is like what, 11 frame? Its reactable but even if you dodge the first slash, without lightroll youll get hit by the second. You cant jump it, you dont want to block it because the third hit will kill you if youre guard broken. You can probably BHS out of it, but you cant raptor out it. You can parry it, but i can assure you if you miss, youre dead, and just try to parry a frame 11 attack on reaction.
@@sturmmagnunstein1008 You can dodge it with medium roll by strafing and rolling left. I'd link it but TH-cam deletes comments with links sometimes, so just search it
Radahn made me understand how overpowered greatshields are
For me it was Fingerprint Shield, Spear with Bleed damage, and Mimic Tear to defeat him.
@@TheOmegaDragon I'd recommend Black Steel Greatshield, it's what I used. It's that big shield that black knights have. Why? Holy: 84, really helps with those holy attacks. It's the best anti-holy greatshield that I know of, even better than the Haligtree greatshield (with 79).

I did kill him with milady only punishing with roll attack and whenever he did the T Pose I could hit him about 3 times, then use the ashe of war, and hit him as he's landing from T Pose. You might want to use heavy armor and about 2 talisman for defense, if you are being hit a lot
I've played all the souls game over and over but I just put the controller down and didn't bother with Prime Radahn. I could probably learn to beat him with a bunch of time and dedication but a) its not fun and b) I got other shit to do. Overall great DLC but what a stinker of a finale.
The title itself misunderstands the issue. The issue with these bosses was their monstrous stats and outright unfair design. Not that it's "hard."
Gael was hard. Orphan of Kos was hard. They were also fair and didn't just rape you with insane damage output.
Mogh seek Miquella Consort: “Mogh’s a pedo!”
Miquella seek Radahn Consort: “Actually, consort has several meanings.”
Ain’t no way boy, y’all are charmed irl 😂
The Miquellester strikes again
Miquella is truly the most fearsome demigod, his divine rizz even affects players in real life
No it’s the fact that Mogh kidnapped Miquella that makes him look bad.
@@trumpetskelton5877Mogh kidnapped Miquella because he was already under Miquella’s spell. Miquella wanted to be kidnapped by Mogh in order to gain access to the shadow realm. And Miquella wanted our Tarnished to defeat Mogh so he could use Mogh’s corpse as a vessel for Radahn’s soul.
An item description talks about Mohg “trying to share his bloody bedchamber” with Miquella, whereas Miquella has abandoned his sense of love. There’s definitely a difference between the two
After beating it I think it’s absolutely the hardest boss ever in the series, but it really did feel like beating an anime dragonball z character flying around at the speed of light. It almost had to be a bit BS to meet the bar of killing a god and the strongest demigod in his prime
Elden rings worlds “power level” is also a lot higher than dark souls, where everything is dead or dying used-to-be strong type dude by the time you fight them. They had to actually make the gods of ER feel as hyped as their lore or the fights feel hollow
it feels like radahn acting as a dmc character vs. a turnbased tarnished.
Can't wait for the dude who will beat him at lever 1 just to spit on all the difficulty.
And if radahn gets to summon a god caster build halfway through the fight you best believe halfway through the fight im also ding dinging in my #1 ride or die (another me)
@@orendamusic7577if we’re using lore then Dark souls characters are on par with Elden rings. The first flame sustains EVERYTHING in the dark souls universe even concepts like space and time. Linking the fire is at bare minimum a universal feat putting people like the Chosen Undead,Gwyn,The Ashen One,Gael and a few others on the same level of power as The Elden beast.
Whether or not you're a "git gud" type, or a casual player who was overwhelmed with the difficulty, we can all agree....they gotta turn down the damn brightness for this boss lmao. One thing to make it challenging, another thing to literally blind the player
the goddamn light columns and miquella's hair means 80% of the screen is basically covered up whenever he attacks. Can't see shit. Literally like Mario Kart blooper debuff but it's a flashbang instead of squid ink. They really should have considered visibility more it's horrible.
not even the light for me, I think they just need to calm it down with the hair. Can barely make out his body if you aren't directly infront of him
lightbeams everywhere.
mega sized explosions.
not to mention the oversized gravity spikes.
its just clutter upon more clutter.
awful.
And it tanks performance too
turn your graphics down it may help.. the anticheat tanking performance does not help this is probably why the specs are raised for the dlc.
Actually, you’re wrong about Radahn ever being “nerfed.” The original radahn fight was quite literally bugged so bad as to wear one of his attacks was almost always completely impossible to dodge and could one shot you, all they did was change the hitboxes and speed in that attack, he’s just as hard as before, he’s just not glitched.
Well even if a bug fix on hit boxes those were still stronger therefore a nerf
@@EvanExplains truly one of the most dumb takes ever typed out, also they werent stronger but bugged dude, learn to read
15:48 The player character just sitting there and bowing to Miquella while Ansbach is fighting for his life is just so fucking funny I'm sorry
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU KNEELING FOR"
-Said Ansbach calmly as he courageously takes on the strongest bussy bandit and the femboy at once
Mogh saying "ahhh i can see it, as clear as day" might mean "finally the enhancement finnal ends and i can think for myself again" as Michella's curse stop after we kill him
“… the coming of OUR dynasty” *heart stolen*
Maybe he was just taking about seeing the end to the moghlester allegations that’s he’s had to listen to for over 2 years. His record stays clear as day😂
The gesture that he does as he dies is also reminiscent of the gesture the player makes when our heart is stolen
"At last, I can die with my mind intact.
...WAIT HE LOOKED LIKE A TWELVE YEAR OLD-oh hold on, that's an adult arm sticking out of the cocoon. Phew. Surely anyone who beholds that not-an-eternal-child arm will understand I freed Miquella from his curse and not accuse me of having any untoward intentions. Yup, my reputation is secure, time to rest in peace."
The message of fromsoft is: Never wait a Prime version of a boss without suffer
This boss made me REALIZE that hard bosses dont always mean good bosses.
i mean, if you look at the big picture it is a good boss, his visual design is good, his sountrack is fucking GOD and his phase 1 is really good and fun, but i do agree that his second phase can be a shitshow

One thing i find interesting is that you see radahns aura in the cutscene (which could also be mohg) and it's immediately overruled by miquella's aura.

Except this isn’t prime Radahn. I don’t know why people keep acting like we’re fighting Radahn as he was during the shattering.
This is Radahn’s soul in Mohg’s body being powered up by Miquella. Even phase 1 isn’t prime because he’s still in a completely different body, and presumably still empowered by Miquella.

I literally lost my voice from how much screaming I was doing from fighting this thing
My only complaint about the boss is how massive the HP bar is if you summon the NPC cooperators that don't pull their weight in the fight.
The fight is actually way easier if you don't summon them at all.
This, solo is much easier than co-op simply because of the ridiculous HP buff he gets.
That goes for pretty much all summons. Most players don't pull their weight either.
If I'm not wrong with all of the shadow tree fragments his hp is like Godfrey
Yep Ansbach wasnt doing shit in the fight so I stopped bothering with him and it made it much easier
I think the trade off is worth it.. With the extra NPC at the start, it divided his attention and then save your mimic for phase 2. It’s the only way I could beat him by summoning Ansbach. It adds a 40% increase to his health but the trade off is you get to assess the battle better and learn his move set without instantly dying the moment you screw up.
I think they do need to make some adjustments to the brightness of his moves. While I am not affected myself, people with light sensitivity or epilepsy can certainly have a hard time even seeing what the boss is doing.
I can face him for about 20 minutes before the migranes start. No other game has made me feel like that.
These people do not play videogames with flashing lights etc. And if they do, it's on them. Health is more important than a videogame.
i made a script to turn brightness way down in P2 just cause i have the curse of shitty eyes xdd which made it so i couldn't play online and let the tank bro help but at least I wasn't getting blinded for the entire 10ish seconds I could survive the lightshow
I agree on this; also They should NOT nerf his damage, he's supposed to hit super hard; what I think is a problem is he literally hits non stop with barely if any no delay or stop in between. Even Orphan of Kos, Malenia,Soul of Cinder and more had a hard yet fair pattern to remember and moments to take advantage of. Radahns hit flurries are so rapid and nonstop there is basically no other strategy at this point than to use a great shield or the stone shield. They need to add an actual pattern with very slight pauses in between because right now it's ridiculous.
@@jacquelineess1141 they still should turn the brightness down though lmao
I play on the steamdeck and every time phase two starts my frames drop to like 20-25fps until shortly after the initial holy explosion
I believe that Elden Ring and Dark Souls 2 share a lot of characteristics: one of those being the developers' obsession with being "SUPER HARD!" and catering to the difficulty aspect of From's design rather than the quality aspect.
Yui Tanimura, the director of Dark Souls 2, co-directed Elden Ring. That's why the game has a lot of similarities to DS2 when it comes to BS difficulty. Tanimura was a pretty bad influence on the series IMO.
@enigmatic8280
This is pretty backwards, Tani *salvaged* DS2 after the previous team wasted a year of devtime messing around with no direction and then had to put up with Bandai chopping two YEARS of dev time off and forcing them to completely rebuild the game from the ground up *twice.*
All memes aside, Consort has multiple meanings, such as partener or companion, so no Miquella does not want to "smash his bro" he needs a powerful person to be his Lord, as it is necesary for an Empyrean to have his or hers consort to be able to ascend to godhood, this is stated in a scrool in the Shadow Keep
was meant as a joke but i hear you!
Yeah, but we were already primed with the GRR/Marika-is-Rdagon/Self-love/Moghlester jokes, so of course everyone's minds were in the gutter.
I mean, it is GRR Martin lore. It being gay incest is not some outrageous idea lol.
@@TheManofThings777 No its not outrageous but its clearly not what fromsoft was putting out.
Radahn and Miquella arent gay. And Miquella isnt even really human anymore.
He just needed the mightiest person available during his time. Not even Malenia was that person and she was also the wrong pick due to the Outter Rot god making her more of a problem.
Radahn was just a straight demon on his own and such an honorable and beast of Demi-god that Miquella saw him as the only obvious choice to lead his new order.
Miquella is an eternal childlike being. He thinks his mind control world is the right thing to do
@@SmartAss4123I don’t think tahts the reason why he didn’t choose melania, she was the closest to him but since shes also an empyrian she could have switched up on him at any time and become a god instead of him since shes way stronger than him. Radahn cant become a god no matter what so he would be a way better choice for his plan
Radahn in lore seems to be a pretty chill guy. Loves his cat and horse, rykard who hated the golden order keeps a painting of him, messmer likes him. Looks like melania is the one that no one likes 😂
U mean Godrick
@@shutup1037both tbh
He had a cat?
@@evanpetelle5669 The talisman that halves fall damage, the cat one, has cut dialogue that says Radahn had a kitty.
@@LongClawzHidden oh yeah I know that one. Cool cool
It's more accurate to say that gamers tend to develop unhealthy habits when presented with a challenge that is over their heads. It's reported some people spent 5 evenings on this boss, I haven't spent 5 evening on one piece of content since I was six years old.
Radahn also wasn’t always a Behemoth of a dude either, in the picture of Margit fighting Radahn he seems the same size as him, so Radahn was probably roughly the size of Mohg in his prime
7:45 wild one frame deer appeared
This boss fight has more special effects than a Rob Zombie video.
I beat Star Scourge Radahn first try on my first playthrough, I'm too scared to fight his other version😭
Made it to the final boss, I think last night on NG+. I swear this dude is insane with his attacks. The 2nd phase is like fighting in a room filled with nothing but bright white light. I feel like I'm gonna have to start wearing sunglasses during the 2nd phase.
So real. I just started fighting him today and I actually got a headache from his second phase. I feel like I’m watching the sun vomit flashbangs Lmao
Streamers: How do i act shocked?
*screams*
I would hate to see what these streamers are like in a nice restaurant.
They act like animals, they can't behave like people for some reason.
The black dude could use a southern USA police officer at his door.
@@Svol09 excessively edgy... but ok
let people have fun and play with screams, it doesn't affect how you enjoy the game!
@@EvanExplains If they just play alone for the sake of their enjoyment only, then yeah they can scream as much as they want as long as they don't disrupt their neighbors. But they're streamers. They're supposed to entertain and make good reactions in front of thousands of people to enjoy. Screaming like a mental hospital patient isn't good entertainment unless you're at MOST, 11 years old.
I think more people should try to parry him. It takes a bit of the agression out of the fight. Try to bait him to the entrance, the level ground makes it easier to see the parryable attacks coming.
They gotta make a new DLC where we team up with Godwyn to slay Ancient Dragons
LOL he's not weak to stagger damage at all. He has 120 poise but only takes 6 seconds to start to recover poise.
After finally beating this guy I was like, "welp, that was a bitch...time to go outside and get some sun! "
I can see how this could be frustrating for a more casual player, but this fight is literally a prime example of a skill check.
Every attack can be dodged if you get the timing and prep right (yes even the ones in phase two).
For exqmple i had problems with the attack where he throws rocks at you in both phases and i just learned to keep distance and dodge perpendicular right before they hit.
This boss is just a case of the player actually having to learn an attack pattern in detail.
And yes while overhelming the second phase can be compared to something like a bullet hell where you just need to be very percise with the aoe and lasers and stuff.
In summary this boss is just mostly about learning the flow of his attacks (i am excluding performance issues here)
My only problem with this boss is that all the flashing lights on the second phase are giving me a genuine headache Lmao. I’m around attempt 60 and this was my first day fighting him. Got him pretty low a few times so I’m hoping I can beat him in under 100 attempts but we shall see. I think I had a panic attack when he “duplicated” himself for the first time with the flurry of swings.
You know what also looks similar? Godfrey with Serosh on his back.
I love how miquella is cursed to forever be young. But hes still bigger than us.😂
5'11'' vs. 6'0 be like:
I am pretty sure that he broke his curse when he became a god, in the final fight he is WAY taller than any statue has ever showed him in comparison to Melania's height
@@zaniki7307 that may be true. But considering how big all of the other demigods are...he should've only been about the size of us.
@zaniki7307 You fighting them is to prevent him from ascending to godhood. Hence, the "Promised" in Radahn's name.
@@_rethabilemont the remembrance literally states that he is already a god. Plus without ascending miquella would be useless since he left everything behind
Out of the DLC bosses Radhan wasn't my Favorite, but he was on par with the other DLC final bosses Imo. Except Gael, No one can Touch Gael.
Gael felt like such a perfect close to Dark Souls as a series. As far as this DLC though, I think Midra was probably one of my favs.
I think even Kos makes the list not as good as Gael but his connection to Gherman makes him very interesting and the fight isn’t too bad.
@@WolvzReignDS3 was my first fromsoftware game. Since I've beaten all of them. I feel like since I played the game in a weird order the epicness of the entire situation went over my head at the time unfortunately
no way, friede and kos are way better than consort radahn.
I thought messmer and redahn were awesome although I agree it didn’t feel like the best closer, but imo I have a feeling it will make sense when next dlc comes
I’ve played DS1, DS2, DS3, lies of p, bloodbourne, and their dlc’s this boss was by far the most ridiculous thing ever. It’s more dodging than fighting, I know he is supposed to be hard, however if you have to question whether or not the boss is having a DMT induced panic attack or a mental breakdown whilst attacking you is not a lack of skill rather it’s the developers that put way to many visual effects in this fight. Not to mention a level 300 character on ng +3 getting three tapped with radahns great rune wearing full tree sentinel armor along with having 5 stats at hard cap with max scadu tree blessings is the sole reason I condemn this boss.
Git gud
@@MrJollyBear you're pathetic.
@@MrJollyBeargit some bitches
i hope From keeps making bosses harder and harder, but also giving us more tools to use. in ER, we get summons, ashes, spells, consumables, status effects, etc. so it ultimately balances out.
The end boss required me to summon a shield/spear user, our third died.
At the final flask, of the final moment I bled the demon, and we danced on the corpse of victory.
one thing that isnt entirely true is the size of Radahn, he is smaller because as implied by the armor. This is PRIME young Rahdahn and he is actually taller than mogh by a lot.
It's not that, if you talk to Ansbach you learn Mohg's body was reanimated as a vessel for Radahn's soul, which is why it's closer to Mohg's size (which is still pretty big) but not as big as Radahn in the base game.
That's literally Mohg's body though. Consort Radahn is nearly the same height as mohg without his red hair.
If you need to use a specific build to kill a boss, it isn't balanced. Also it doesn't really matter the build you use against this guy considering you get the smallest openings known to man
Thats not true dude just bc you see alot of people using it doesnt means that this is the only way to beat him you cant speak for everyone boss was hard for sure but def not unfair
@@helmutkohl6207 Its the only way to beat him without pain and suffering. I was level 260ish on ng+ with 60 vigor and strength and faith with a blasphemous blade +10 and level 20 scadutree blessing using a +10 mimic with a level 10 spirit ash blessing using the full bull-goat armor set. The fight could not he described as anything other than painful. It was in no way a fun fight, and the only thing i felt after beating him was happiness that i could walk away and never do it again if i didnt want to.
@@aaronburr956 maybe for you but you cant speak for everyone i did it with dex weapon light armor no summons and scadu level:18 and i see alot of people that had no Problem with him either i had more fun fighting him then malenia for sure
Guys whenever you're down just know that the 3 Fingers support you. Use the fingerprint shield, it saves you 200 attempts at Radahn, a life of torture.
Streamers not doing quest lines and not paying attention
I doubt most people can do their dog shit designed quests on their blind first playthrough. I did some of them but missed others and got locked out of those quests coz some doodoo reason.
@@taufiqislam8935 I did most and knew about radahn. Moore's and hornsent were the only two I messed up. The rest were easy to figure out on my own
The questlines in Elden ring are obscure as fuck. I waited until people fleshed more of that shit out.
@@sepulcher8263 it's almost like you're not supposed to get them all in one playthrough
@@Sablemae76 Nah, that's absolutely remedial design. Barely anyone is going to do multiple playthroughs of a 100+ hour game just to get all the side quests completed.
I don’t know how much more difficult they can make another boss with this style of gameplay.
Next fromsoft game the second phase of the final boss will be overlayed with videos of actual flashbangs going off. I swear I couldn’t see shit on the second phase
Finally beat him, my own way, no summons. I had to get near perfect.
tbh, after fighting radahn three times now, i can say with confidence that he is my second favorite boss of the dlc, right behind messmer.
I have literally almost beat him 3 times, But that last attack where he flies into the air then comes and hits you like a comet gets me every time. Had it not been for that attack I would have beat him by now.
Run you fools
Oooooh THAT move😬
I just beat him today LOL
thats the easiest attack to dodge in phase 2? Literally just run in one direction?
I'd recommend running as fast as you can to the edge of the arena and trying to jump to avoid the 2 explosions. You might still get hit, but you'd take less damage and might survive. Good luck!
I died once because i could not see the wind up of his next attack after the holy rays. Ffs i hope the next installment in the souls archetype gives us better dodging to match the increasing speed of bosses.
I would very much like innate built in dodge than wasting a slot on my weapon for the dodge
If you’re having trouble with your dodges I suggest you use the crucible feather talisman as it improves the effectiveness of dodge rolls, but increases damage taken.
@@qfem2923 I have beaten him using the holy twinblade and dodging my point was we should be given a better built in dodge by this point.
It also looks asinine rolling on the ground for like 10 minutes during a cinematic god fight lol
@@Trigonxv1 Imho Sekiro has the perfect combat flow, and they really need to lean in heavily into that style, let me do precisely timed counterattacks, no more goddamn rolling, a jump and a sidestep should be enough. Maybe give the MC some "shadow" powers or something, so we can just lore accurately phase through the attacks.
And while we're at it, every boss attack should have a clear action I can take, no more hitboxes disconnected from the attacks and ffs properly balance your game around multiple playstyles. It's an RPG, if I want to play as lighting lord, I shouldn't feel dumb for not playing another shitty bleed build.
Sometimes, in some boss fights it almost feels like they get it. When I just instinctively jumped over the twin moons, I couldn't believe they didn't put a random hitbox into the air to kill me. But then Bayle pushes me right against a wall, and then instakills me because I touched a random hitbox on his body, while my camera spasms.... and I realize the good combos they made were an accident.
@@JanVerny sekiro best souls game
@@JanVernyjust use the sekiro tear. They literally made that a thing and it lasts 5 minutes
The strongest demigod and the strongest empyrean, shit what ppl thought would've happened. I didn't like the fight, but it's a reason lore wise, we always fight bosses past their prime. Plus, I blame the souls community. A lot of people were calling elden ring easy, and fromsoft took that personally.
This was the best explanation of the DLC I’ve seen yet. Keep up the good work
Lore Accurate Radahn would snap his fingers and crush the tarnished under the weight of gravity magic that turned off the universe.
lore accurate tarnished has the strength of every demi god and enemy you fight up to that point using runes and great runes, so not really
Lore accurate Radahn being kicked out of Leyndell by a Hobo with a Stick
Radahn was the mightest demigods, not a fucking "solo the universe"
@@Ale-dd3ek idk man he soloed the stars the universe is just a bigger better challenge
@@Ale-dd3ek To be fair, that was a younger and more reckless Radahn. Not long after, that same Radahn went to conquer the Stars and become the mightiest demigod.
@@Ale-dd3ek tbf the stick had a surprise in it
I've literally given up on this boss. If the difficulty of this boss is anything to show for future Fromsoft games, im out. I have yet to complete this DLC because of how hard this boss is.
Understandable. Honestly, the only reason I didn't quit was because I spent money on this. I HAD to win...
There are plenty of cheese/gimmick builds at your disposal if you want to get the fight done
I just went with greatshield and bleedspear , was pretty easy to hit phase 2 and got him after like 1 1/2 hours of trying with lvl 13 scadutree
I consistently smash Phase 1, but Phase 2 is next level BS that, for the first time since I started playing Souls games, is just simply too much. When your funneled into playing certain ways to beat bosses, they are not well designed. And Phase 2 is simply not well designed.
@@thereaversden6847 it is perfectly fair bro, if you want to learn how watch a Ongbal video on it. He has done a few different hitless runs, it will show you how everything is done if you need help.
I just finished the dlc and the last fight was phase 1: dark souls boss, phase 2: dragon ball z knockoff with an epilepsy seizure warning.
Love that Kirby Air Ride music at the beginning 😭
Radahn is the living embodiment of how a hard boss doesn't always equal a good boss... in the second phase, first phase is pretty good lol
Haha, yes. First phase: What's all the fuss about? It's easy. Phase two: WTF!
I would have agreed in the heat of the moment(when i was fighting him) but honestly thinking back there wasnt much actually unfair stuff except for the nuke due to the fps drop and maybe the continuation to that one multihit gravity attack(one where he summons rocks from the ground). I just wish people that used strats like greatshield abusing didnt comment on his validity as a boss because i feel like they gave up early and decided to base their view on the boss on a playstyle that isnt particularly fun, the whole fun part of this fight is the phase 2 learning curve, when it finally clicks and you understand how to avoid the lightbeams and the afterimages etc
@@darken6456 one of his combo starters come out extremely fast, so much that you have to preemptively dodge it. Except there is another combo starter with slight delay which will roll catch you if you preemptively dodge. You have to have like MILLISECONDS of range in your reaction speed to dodge the fast one when you see it coming. Not to mention that the triple combo of doom first hit is also a preemptive dodge. Almost nothing about this fight feels fair but most of the attacks come naturally once you learn their strats. Not the ones i mentioned tho. The strat i developed for this boss is literally not dodging the fast combo starters and facetank them. Worked wonders for me.
@@nicecoat5004 there is one attack where he does 2 swipes and x, that’s the only one that is actually near impossible to dodge but it’s not even that bad you tank one of the swipes and as long as you dodge inwards you wont get caught by the lightbeams either
@@darken6456 literally the strat i talked about at the end of the comment you replied my dude. Also i take back what i said about the preemptive dodge attack. I remember my problem with it being that it always punishes my jump attack during an opening, not that its hard to react to when he does it normally. Triple combo of doom is a preemptive dodge tho since it comes instantly.
I'm no hater towards anything in the DLC. And everything had a pretty good lore-wise explanation if you wanted to know more. But this' just me personally. Seeing a memory from Miquella as the final cutscene only to have that benefit nothing but a short intermission felt pretty garbage when you could've just found out the same thing if you read Radahn's armor description.
And yes. I know, I know fromsoftware has had a history of barely putting in anything like a cutscene for the conclusion of their DLC's, but this one felt like it wasn't even worth the journey. About maybe the only thing that could be considered worth it that came out of the ending was just the remembrance.
Even then, the swords feel like shit. The entire ending feels god awful besides miquella's light and the crown.
@@SnailSnail-lo4pmThe swords are for some reason worse than the swords from the base game.
They should've put a dragon ending and a miquella ending into the game.
It would've been so cool if we could've become the new dragon lord...
@bl00by_ that's s bit wild for a dlc but we should've at least done SOMETHING post radahn, we're at the gate of divinity for fucks sake.
People said that Elden ring base game was too easy so they mad the dlc hard
Miyazaki is watching us
Once I realized I lack the skills to beat him with my build, I went for a shield / bloody helice build. It was suddenly way easier to trade blows with him and after like 10 tires, I managed.
Miazaki... I don't want to face Boss in they primes anymore, I don't want to do that anymore😭
I feel like radahn is a fight you need to go into with a fast attacking weapon, if you do it is a pretty fun fight
Great katanas actually work really well
impenetrable thorns ftw
Let’s see what my golden halberd has to say
My colossal swrods go 'poke'
Cries in great sword
Thought you sounded familiar😂. Incredible storytelling in your d2 videos. Will be watching everything here💚.
I stopped using the NPC summons after a few attempts, they just felt so goddamn useless
Fromsoft: nerfs starscourge Radahn
Players: NO! Bring back OP Radahn!
Fromsoft: okay…
I said it before and will say it again. The real winners here is the Outer Gods.
Fantastic video, really really enjoyable! What I don't understand is though, is why people are so shocked it's Radahn at the end, when the game literally tells you earlier on. I guess they missed that dialogue.
Is this the guy that makes those long videos abt Destiny raids I love that dude
He’s not even hard, he’s artificially difficult. No openings, true combos, inflated health pool, and AOE galore. He actually has a move that’s impossible to dodge unless you use certain ashes of war that allow you to dodge it (a particular first phase sword swing combo). It’s lazy boss design to just make him unrelenting and tanky.
None of his attacks are undodgeable.
@@randomnerd9088 He has an undodgeable roll catch.
This boss is not hard, it's straight up unfair and unfun.
The double swing into X-scissor can't be dodged unless you have the backstep crucible talisman.
His behaviour is random at times, he does THAT follow up 10 times then for 0 reason he does that OTHER follow up.
But phase 1 is not so bad if you parry (not required for anything else in the game but ok).
Phase 2 is the worst difficulty ever.
Literally can't see because of the beams, half of his attack drop fps on PS5 and you really can't understand with his clones. Also the hiroshima attack is not dodgeable unless you start running BEFORE he does it.
I beat this guy with a shield and poke scarlet rot+bleed. Cool, but why would this guy be THIS dumb? Worst final boss of ANY game I've played.
He is worse than Malenia even, she has 1 dumb attack, this guy is dumb himself.
Also 0 dialogue lol, puppet
Fair enough. I just started fighting him today. I am 60 attempts in and I’ve probably switched my build about 6 times just trying to figure out what will work. I am using a spear with bleed build up. I don’t want to use a shield but honestly if I get to 100 attempts then fuck it
I think that Miquella send his sister to fight Rahdan not to kill him or capture him, but too infect him with the scarlet rot so that he would have no choice but to seek Miquella if he wanted a cure (the golden needle) and he was waiting for Radhan in the tree (He wanted Rahdan to accept to become his consort "willingly"). But Rahdan refused to play Miquella's game and decided to keep the scarlet rot in Caelid at bay by his own means and not Miquella's.
For Mogh, I don't know when Mogh became ensnared by Miquella's. It could be before stealing Miquella's or after.
how not to end a dlc 101, with fromsoft.
Hey, SWEET! Devil May Cry 3 Vergil!
I definitely think it’s an Ariandel situation, where we still have some things we can build off of and new things to make for another DLC. I’m a firm believer that we’ll use the gate to get find where the Greater Will resides
Miyazaki has already confirmed that there won’t be any more DLC for Elden Ring.
@@Epistolary8 he doesn’t have any current plans for it, so yeah fair. But I know he has some fucked up ideas in his head that he would love to put into this game
A lot of people loved it and the challenge, guess fromsoft isn’t meant to increase any difficulty anymore without all the casuals crying
