Can't wait to tell my kids "Y'know back in my day... you couldn't dodge his second slash and his second phase attack would set your pc on fire. Not to mention you couldn't even ride torrent on the Elden Beast fight. You kids have it soooo easy these days..."
Me and the gatekeepers quickly approaching to the 12 years old kid with to mock him with that argument because he can't beat Margit: (Being blashbanged every 4 seconds was the Intended way men played)
I'm actually a bit sad about the nerfs (inb4 Stockholm syndrome), but I'm pretty sure Miyazaki wanted a raid boss that was balls-to-the-walls and Radahn definitely fits that bill
One thing about rellana's cameo that Chrigght found: On Milady, if you use the light attack of wing stance without letting go of L2, you can keep the buff since it brings you immediately back to the stance
Honestly I’m not a fan of them removing radahns spin attack right out of the fog gate, it was such a thrilling way to start the battle almost every time and felt fair to be honest, like how Messmer always uses his orb attack when starting the battle
To be honest, that attack is pretty unfair to Radahn, it's probably his weakest with a very short damage window and recovery so huge you can land a charged heavy with a colossal free of charge.
The problem with that was that you would end up cornered against the walls of a gigantic arena quite often. For what I've seem most of the changes are quite good and can make the fight much more dynamic than just stick to his right leg, R1 most of the time or some really fast ashes.
If you aren't using summons, having his rolling attack at first was great because it's very easy to punish. No joke that was my favorite attack because it's always a free hit.
And the fact that it's hard to use with anything other than unsheathe just makes unsheathe that much more busted And looks like moon veil is back up again. Pop on the cameo, shard of Alexander, magic scorpion charm and the magic cracked tear and you've got yourself a god slayer.
@@PurpleGengar822 there is in fact dodging well(with positioning well) but in the case of pre nerf radhan it was hard to position and dodge because he would spam it like crazy
"The Smithscript dagger needs more damage not range" Couldn't disagree more. If you build properly for them they're amazing. Obviously you're not gonna hit as hard as most melee weapons, but the ability to have a ranged attack with rapid fire projectiles gives you more control over the fight. Also infusing these with bleed and Scattershot throw mulches so many bosses and enemies. Really the biggest downside to them was the rather short range.
All the smithscript weapons need massive range increases to be worth using. The only one they allowed to have good range is the hammer, which is why it's the only one that feels intuitive and satisfying to use. What's the point of giving a weapon a ranged attack if you need to use it from point blank?
@@RicAdbur the difference is the range is the option for all the other Smith script weapons you strictly throw the daggers you can viably use the other smithscript weapons without throwing them doing good damage,break poise without having to hit a headshot and even get hyper armor and the this isn't even counting the many good aow options you can have also the hammer does damage while you spin for the heavy throw aswell the dagger if anything deserve to have the most range imo
@@HatTrickzTV "Regular consumable projectiles do more damage" doesn't mean much when they're, ya know, consumable, meaning you can only carry limited number at once and have to constantly restock or craft them. Plus consumables can't be buffed with as many talismans and special effects as actual weapons can.
Shields have always been his major weakness. It was the best way to beat his cross slash before, since the parry stops the 2nd and 3rd swings anyways. He's now fair for normal melee, but defos too easy for parry now.
For PvP, the uncharged heavy attack buff is especially wild with the *Sword Lance* and the *Sword of Night;* the former makes it even easier to true-combo into a light attack and the latter now true-combos after a *Witching Hour Slash* As for the left-hand Great Katana nerf, it's mainly for the *Rakshasa's Great Katana,* but the roll-catch loop with the *Sword of Night's Witching Hour Slash* still works And while the *Furious Blade of Ansbach* buffs are nice, what it needs is to have it's Bleed buildup scale with Arcane
As you should be pre nerf radahn is one of the hardest bosses I've ever fought up there with inner father fight from serkiro and lingering will from kingdom hearts 2
Smithscript daggers aren’t really meant as a primary weapon, they’re a free projectile option that can be infused to work with any build, you can keep one in your off-hand to get chip damage and prevent poise from regenerating at range whenever you have an opening during a boss fight. Smithscript weapons in general aren’t nearly as bad as you think, the projectile attacks tend to have surprising range compared to, for example, the wing of astel’s heavies and still do respectable damage
It took me 3 hours to kill Radahn on my first playthrough, finally he's slightly less bareable. He was entirely *possible* before. He just wasn't enjoyable at all.
Rellana’s Cameo looks like it activates almost immediately, that’s gonna make stance builds absolutely crazy. The buff damage wasn’t changed, so it’s just a straight upgrade to stance skills with no downside.
Beat him twice, pre-nerf. Once with spiral ash of war Greatsword, the second with dual bleed twinblades. Haven’t really played since, but now I’m curious to see what actually feels like. 🤔
Rellana's Cameo has been buffed from 15% damage increase to 45% Also the time hast been reduced from 1.7s to 1s and the timer starts when you press the button and not when you are in the stance
@@jstar3382 Yeah it was. It was the only attack where the direction of your dodge mattered more than the timing of it. That's what made it great. Now everything is just a braindead dodge fest again. Sad.
Just tested the new Rellana’s cameo, and it’s a 45% buff, that’s honestly ridiculous, the sword of night and flame might be the best weapon in the game now, you stance break someone, and watch as the mini comet azur shreds them in seconds, it’ll definitely be nerfed
Given the double slash and attacks after his afterimages were what kept getting me killed, it's good that I'll get to see him as a better boss now that he isn't loaded with frame traps
So they nerfed consort radahn severally but never ever touched Malenia or waterfowl dance like bruh, was radahn really intended to be harder than malenia or was it just the result of rushed development?
Because malenia even with waterfowl is a entirely fair fight + Malenia is a optional boss where as consort radahn is technically mandatory if you want to actually complete the dlc
Seems like Waterfowl Dance being the only attack in the game that requires Weird Movement Shit to dodge was _intentional,_ which is -damning- interesting.
They did touch malenia lmao. She used to use her parry like for 90% of the time you attacked her now she only uses it like 20% of the time plus her regen got slightly nerfed as it dosen't heal nearly as much as it did in vanilla. Stop whining.
Beat him prenerf with no bleed, summons, or fingerprint shield, it wasn't fun for me He deserved to be a well designed and fun boss, not a flashbanger who drains fps with light flashes
I'm okay with the visual clutter fix and slowing down the double slash attack that is somewhat unavoidable but this fight did not need additional nerfs.
@@TheStraightestWhitestthis is the first time I’ve ever seen you have a legitimately bad gaming related take lmao, in all of their previous games, every single attack, if you had a fast enough reaction speed and weren’t already locked in an animation, could be dodged from any position, the frame trap that radahn had was the only one that broke that rule and forced you to play around it specifically, even waterfowl can be dodged from any position in the arena, disregarding walls
It's sad that they didn't change the speed of the Great Katanas since there are colossal weapons that weigh 2.5x as much as them and have a very similar speed.
I'm glad they changed the double cross timing, but I'm not happy about the other changes to the fight. The opening gravity divebomb was the best. It sets the vicious tone of the fight, and even more importantly saves you the trouble of running over to him.
And people are making this nerf out to be a bad thing?? From doesn't nerf hard bosses to nerf them or make them more accessible, they've only ever 'nerfed' bosses that don't match their vision or are broken in some way. Plus people are just straight up wrong bout some of the nerfs which is pretty funny.
God damn it's annoying that they leave so many details vague. Not listing names of spells, damage percent increases, etc is so lame when they definitely have a spreadsheet listing all the changes in their office
@@jagmbaksvshshand none of his errors go unnoticed and he corrects himself always. Youwy is still by far the most reliable channel when it comes to Souls games, right up there with FightinCowboy
Wewt Beat the DLC before they nerfed the big clown Promised Consort Radahn! Fromsoft is an excellent study in how not to program an end boss, those hit capsules are three times to large, and completely unfair, and the boss is three times your size, absolute bullshit.
While more damage for Ansbachs incant would have been nice, the increased poise damage and animation cancels is still amazing. This incant was never really about damage, it was more about combos. The delayed fire burst at the end of the charged animation is perfect for setting up true combos or roll catches with incants like blood flame talons, which itself can combo into like a million other things. More poise just means you are more likely to get the full attack off on pvp adversaries, which is super helpful.
This is not a nerf this is a FIX. Radahn (at least mechanically) was my one major gripe w the DLC and I'm excited to give him another go now that his attacks work and is less of an accessibility nightmare
@LocksAndChains level 25 3/1 upgrades, perfumes (the weapons) are objectively terrible. Even if you're using them +25 a basic fire knight shortsword is faster, has good range and does more damage and that's a dagger
@sirvilhelm3569 frost buildup is very weak, any cold infused weapon would be better at proccing frost. And the reason you saw that the lightning one was the best is because of the glitch that got patched, they're all equally bad now except for the poison one which has its own niche (poisoning yourself). The frenzy one is technically the best if ur overlevelled since it scales with 4 stats, but all equally terrible, imo.
That last line on the Obsidian Lamina's Dynastic Sickleplay is about your recovery speed after the second heavy attack follow up...look how fast you are able to dodge after the second heavy attack @7:17 ...before you would finish that second heavy attack and spin away from the target but you'd like be stuck standing there in an anime pose admiring your work for like a whole second. Looked cool but really made it where you didnt wanna use the second heavy unless you were definitely going to finish off the mob because you'd just be stuck in the after cast foreeeeever.
Surprised that there were no changes made to Radahns hit box on the end of his sword(s). They extend further out than the weapon itself by a good bit, making it hard to gauge distance even when you are 'correct'. Feels like artificial difficulty imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm glad they buffed both Rellana's Cameo and Moon and Fire Stance. Both were really close to being great, and now they've gotten the attention they deserve. On the other hand you have Aspects of the Crucible: Bloom, which inexplicably got its range an casting speed buffed but not its damage. Similar deal for Divine Bird Feathers.
tbh those aren’t nerfs but fixes. Aside from damage nerf, I’m all for the new changes. Visibility, performance and cross slash were my only gripes and they are finally fixed
He looks so much more enjoyable to fight now. And Im sayibg that as someone who soloed him 3 times just using parries and regular milady's attacks (plus a deflecting hardtear run to mix things up)
@cosmiccat4706 she's not hard but also not fun. Between the undodgeable laser, clunky phase transition and finger creeper spawns, Metyr makes for a very unfun fight
The heavy attack changes are really nice. Many of them feel almost comparable to light attacks now in terms of speed, such as the overhead slam R2 collosal swords and axes
I've been using the Rellana's Twinblade with the Smithscript Shield. It's great for going back and forth between the shield skill and dual weilding the greatswords. Gonna have to add the cameo to the build now.
People can complain about the nerf all they want, it still doesn't change the fact Consort Radahn was too difficult in design. Like compared to Malenia, his design isn't fair at all
Change to the uncharged R2s should be pretty nice; I've often felt like they took long enough to come out that you might as well charge them for some of these weapons. Almost like there's a delay there while it checks whether or not you're charging. Can't wait to test it out later! Still so odd to be getting changes like this so long after the game came out.
alright awesome, we've moved into the next stage of a fromsoft product's release where now all the "souls vets" who are upset that they couldn't steamroll a new product using the exact same build and the exact same strategies they used for the last product start pretending they weren't constantly whining about how hard the hard video game is and move on to telling new players that their achievements are worthless since the new players exclusively live in a post-nerf world, even though that's the nerf they spent months begging for. and they'll do that while still putting out massive, lazy video essays where you can literally just see from their gameplay footage that they're terrible at the game and refuse to learn while their droning, whiny manchild voice-over misconstrues nearly every design decision in the game, makes false claims that "most souls vets" agree with them, makes false claims that new players won't be able to have fun (even though all the new players are just fine, just like always), yada yada yada. what a community! so glad to see we never get better only worse, especially now that big controversial video essays are such a great way to generate engagement and drive up ad revenue, including of course the new essay the same people will post 4 to 10 months after release where they explain how they love it now, oh so conveniently creating yet another controversy to generate further engagement. what a time to be a gamer!

@@TheStraightestWhitestthis is the first time I’ve ever seen you have a legitimately bad gaming related take lmao, in all of their previous games, every single attack, if you had a fast enough reaction speed and weren’t already locked in an animation, could be dodged from any position, the frame trap that radahn had was the only one that broke that rule and forced you to play around it specifically, even waterfowl can be dodged from any position in the arena, disregarding walls
It's sad that they didn't change the speed of the Great Katanas since there are colossal weapons that weigh 2.5x as much as them and have a very similar speed.
Still no spells from the Putrescence Sorcerer, Midra's dive bomb and Crucible tongue/centaur ☹️
I'm glad they changed the double cross timing, but I'm not happy about the other changes to the fight. The opening gravity divebomb was the best. It sets the vicious tone of the fight, and even more importantly saves you the trouble of running over to him.
Kinda like he’s saying: Let’s go, pretender! 💥 ⚔️ ☠️
This fight being crazy and unfair is what made it fun for me but for other peoples enjoyment then the changes are good
Greatly appreciate your quick turnaround. Always love to see all these changes visualized by someone who knows what they're talking about.
Nerfing Radahns bullshit roll catch was so needed. Now he's a perfect boss. He is probably my 2nd favorite boss ever.
He still is mediocre af
Same, PCR is only hated by Malenia simps
well done covering it up.
Can't wait for all thew new tier lists! Rent secure for another month
And people are making this nerf out to be a bad thing?? From doesn't nerf hard bosses to nerf them or make them more accessible, they've only ever 'nerfed' bosses that don't match their vision or are broken in some way. Plus people are just straight up wrong bout some of the nerfs which is pretty funny.
Well now I can say I did him pre nerf hitless
Proof?
@@theamazonbois7970 my channel 👌
They still didn't buff light of miquella, bayle's tyranny damage being bugged, or fix gaius charge attack hitbox
Bayles tyranny was fixed, it now can hit multiple enemies and doesn't just miss if on uneven terrain.
God damn it's annoying that they leave so many details vague. Not listing names of spells, damage percent increases, etc is so lame when they definitely have a spreadsheet listing all the changes in their office
Youwy is goated asf, the update just dropped and my man already made a vid about it
That's not necessarily a good thing.
@@augustogallo3211you're correct. It's not a good thing, it's fucking amazing
@@Vengeance_I_m he's been criticized for wrong information tho because he uploads so fast keep that in mind
@@jagmbaksvshshand none of his errors go unnoticed and he corrects himself always. Youwy is still by far the most reliable channel when it comes to Souls games, right up there with FightinCowboy
Wewt Beat the DLC before they nerfed the big clown Promised Consort Radahn! Fromsoft is an excellent study in how not to program an end boss, those hit capsules are three times to large, and completely unfair, and the boss is three times your size, absolute bullshit.
So Radahn no longer skips combo recovery. Good now he shouldn't feel so janky.
While more damage for Ansbachs incant would have been nice, the increased poise damage and animation cancels is still amazing. This incant was never really about damage, it was more about combos. The delayed fire burst at the end of the charged animation is perfect for setting up true combos or roll catches with incants like blood flame talons, which itself can combo into like a million other things. More poise just means you are more likely to get the full attack off on pvp adversaries, which is super helpful.
This is not a nerf this is a FIX. Radahn (at least mechanically) was my one major gripe w the DLC and I'm excited to give him another go now that his attacks work and is less of an accessibility nightmare
Wuss.
Nah, it's a nerf
They really nerfed my man on 9/11, he's too strong.
Why did perfumes not get buffed? They suck so much..i want to play on my perfumer co op build but theyre so bad even a dagger does more damage
We must be using different weapons, because my perfumer character fucks.
@LocksAndChains level 25 3/1 upgrades, perfumes (the weapons) are objectively terrible. Even if you're using them +25 a basic fire knight shortsword is faster, has good range and does more damage and that's a dagger
Isn’t the lightning variant much better than it’s original counterpart? (Also frost)
@sirvilhelm3569 frost buildup is very weak, any cold infused weapon would be better at proccing frost. And the reason you saw that the lightning one was the best is because of the glitch that got patched, they're all equally bad now except for the poison one which has its own niche (poisoning yourself). The frenzy one is technically the best if ur overlevelled since it scales with 4 stats, but all equally terrible, imo.
The Twin Moons should have i-frames in PvE. Only way to make them usable outside of a meme build.
Now he’s *Rad* ahn, Consort of *Sick* ella the *Grind.*
That last line on the Obsidian Lamina's Dynastic Sickleplay is about your recovery speed after the second heavy attack follow up...look how fast you are able to dodge after the second heavy attack @7:17 ...before you would finish that second heavy attack and spin away from the target but you'd like be stuck standing there in an anime pose admiring your work for like a whole second. Looked cool but really made it where you didnt wanna use the second heavy unless you were definitely going to finish off the mob because you'd just be stuck in the after cast foreeeeever.
Not much of a nerf, just a very needed adjustment to the fight to make it less bullshit
the superiority complex is strong with this one, beating radahn before the nerfs
Surprised that there were no changes made to Radahns hit box on the end of his sword(s). They extend further out than the weapon itself by a good bit, making it hard to gauge distance even when you are 'correct'. Feels like artificial difficulty imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm glad they buffed both Rellana's Cameo and Moon and Fire Stance. Both were really close to being great, and now they've gotten the attention they deserve. On the other hand you have Aspects of the Crucible: Bloom, which inexplicably got its range an casting speed buffed but not its damage. Similar deal for Divine Bird Feathers.
tbh those aren’t nerfs but fixes. Aside from damage nerf, I’m all for the new changes. Visibility, performance and cross slash were my only gripes and they are finally fixed
All I’m hearing are excuses, miserable hollow. I’ve beaten both pre-patched Radahn’s.
:3
@@sirvilhelm3569
good for you, I’ve beaten rl1 without summons
@@thatlittlemonstrosity While blindfolded? :b
He looks so much more enjoyable to fight now. And Im sayibg that as someone who soloed him 3 times just using parries and regular milady's attacks (plus a deflecting hardtear run to mix things up)
The radahn changes make me so happy. He's actually so fun to fight now. Maybe they can go after Metyr next 👀 🤞
Metyr's not that hard though. The only boss that needed any tuning was Radahn.
Say your trash even moreso 😂
@cosmiccat4706 she's not hard but also not fun. Between the undodgeable laser, clunky phase transition and finger creeper spawns, Metyr makes for a very unfun fight
@mailikhiytam1440 Skill issue.
@@theinternetsightseer2935how the fuck is that a skill issue? The first laser is litterally not dodge able
As a HUGE fan of the light greatswords Rellana's Twin Blades + Milady, as well as Obsidian Lamina this patch is my favorite.
They didn’t nerf him, they just fuckin’ fixed him that now he’s actually a great boss, thank god.
The heavy attack changes are really nice. Many of them feel almost comparable to light attacks now in terms of speed, such as the overhead slam R2 collosal swords and axes
happy
The patch notes have a translation error. Colossal WEAPONS were buffed, *not* Colossal Swords.
1:01 the boys reference?
I've been using the Rellana's Twinblade with the Smithscript Shield. It's great for going back and forth between the shield skill and dual weilding the greatswords. Gonna have to add the cameo to the build now.
People can complain about the nerf all they want, it still doesn't change the fact Consort Radahn was too difficult in design. Like compared to Malenia, his design isn't fair at all
Malenia is fine ur coping
Rellana's cameo boosts damage to 45% now not 15%. The damage boost has been buffed as well
No sane person ever is upset about this Radahn nerf
Change to the uncharged R2s should be pretty nice; I've often felt like they took long enough to come out that you might as well charge them for some of these weapons. Almost like there's a delay there while it checks whether or not you're charging. Can't wait to test it out later! Still so odd to be getting changes like this so long after the game came out.
sadge that they'd nerf him so severely but at least most people already beat him anyway
The recovery nerfs 😢😢😢
My dual Devonia's Hammer build just keeps getting better and better
alright awesome, we've moved into the next stage of a fromsoft product's release where now all the "souls vets" who are upset that they couldn't steamroll a new product using the exact same build and the exact same strategies they used for the last product start pretending they weren't constantly whining about how hard the hard video game is and move on to telling new players that their achievements are worthless since the new players exclusively live in a post-nerf world, even though that's the nerf they spent months begging for.
and they'll do that while still putting out massive, lazy video essays where you can literally just see from their gameplay footage that they're terrible at the game and refuse to learn while their droning, whiny manchild voice-over misconstrues nearly every design decision in the game, makes false claims that "most souls vets" agree with them, makes false claims that new players won't be able to have fun (even though all the new players are just fine, just like always), yada yada yada.
what a community! so glad to see we never get better only worse, especially now that big controversial video essays are such a great way to generate engagement and drive up ad revenue, including of course the new essay the same people will post 4 to 10 months after release where they explain how they love it now, oh so conveniently creating yet another controversy to generate further engagement.
what a time to be a gamer!
Preach it!
My man wrote a whole essay bitching about how people are bitching. The circle is now complete
git gud
Promised Consort wasnt a fun fight for me, probably my most hated. Didnt felt rewarding either.
Should be better now
Glad they buffed Rellana’s Moon and Fire Stance.
Oh boy can't wait to see people saying they ruined Consort Radahn and that you didn't really win unless you won against the pre-nerf version
Absolutely ruined it because of the crybabies
🤦♂️@@domsnow6418
changed something about some attacks and some things now behave differently sometimes maybe
