Parrying makes phase 1 cheesable. Wasn't able to show it here but you can stunlock him due to how his ai defaults half the time to a parryable attack (the other one being his stomp which you have to dodge) after landing a parry. Phase 2 on the other hand, is rng. He doesn't do the parryable moves as often and he typically one shotted me if I missed a parry. Got him down to 10% hp a few times before the kill but I kept getting one tapped. Actually thought about picking up the spirit bell because of phase 2 Overall, was a good fight. His dmg is a bit overtuned though!
@@a_person55honestly health isn't an issue aslong as damage isn't stupidly high. same vice versa, I don't mind a glass cannon boss either, but radahns damage is wayyyyy too much, making it feel artificially hard
I don't think his damage is absurdly high, he just spam attacks to death with a few windows to use flasks, personally I think he is well created and with enough practice you can beat him without a problem. I did him with exactly same build as the guy in the video with ng+, its doable
It definitely is, if you don't have buffs up the ass his damage is too high. With his quick two swing attack he is nearly one shotting me at level 20 blessing. And 55 Vigor.
I am always impressed by people who have the patience to learn the move-sets and play like this. For me, I don't mind dying over and over until I get it right. It's the abysmally slow loading times on the PS4 that make me want to rage quit. I know it's going to take me a very long time to get a feel for the timing, but if I have to sit through 300 loading screens before then, I may just have to settle for watching the story online, at least until these bosses inevitably get nerfed.
I played through the whole base game as a sorcerer. I very rarely, if ever use melee weapons. So the fact that it seems like sorcery had a major nerf has me having to learn an entirely different play style... It could be fun if it wasn't so dang frustrating!
The bosses aren’t gonna get nerfed, maybe a few bugs that made some of them unintentionally harder (looking at you Commander gial) will get patched, but otherwise this is probably going to remain as difficult as it is now
@@darkmatter9643 I have started trying a couple different play styles. Though some of the bosses are still going to make me go bald, I have been getting gradually better. I finally got Consort to his second phase (and then died immediately, lol!) That's progress! However, I totally agree that something needs to be done about Gaius. That was the most frustrating fight by far, even counting Radahn.
Hey, I thank you a lot for this vid. I had issues to defeat him but I finally succeeded. I’m suprised how the shield parade is so satisfying by the way.
i tried parrying him but i always panic and then mess up in p1, but you are doing it so well, and could actually wait for that delayed two-handed side slash. i keep watching that over and over and im always amazed because i never get that. btw, is carian retalliation better than golden parry here?
@@MaackyD So i'm supposed to not look at youtube at all instead of the other guy not putting spoilers in the thumbnail and title? Why are you defending him? What are you getting out of defending that kind of degeneracy?
Good job man!! I literally just beat him, I tried parrying but his phase 2 aoe light attacks always one shotted me so i went with the good old backhand dual wield
From a solo perspective, yes 100%! I had to build tons of resistance to survive a few hits. It took me about 4 hours to kill it and the first 2 hours was spent just learning what moves can be parried
this is so far the 1st "clean kill" on this one. Now many speedrunners/no hit runners are probably gonna copy (or at least they have discovered it by themselves) this and not credit you. Btw, you can dodge that gravity slam without getting hit when you distance yourself a little bit and double roll away from him. Nice video man!
If you know the lore it makes sense, and this boss is even more of a spectacle than Starscourge Radahn. It's not even a copy paste he has new moves. The Battle of Aeonia was entirely for Radahn to become Miquella's Consort so that Miquella could become a god. Malenia was meant to kill him so his soul could reach the Shadowlands where Miquella was, and Mohg's body was used as a vessel.
2:37 I swear trying to parry that quick left right sweep be the hardest one out of all his moves
coz it is, even the pros say that move is pure bs and relatively high chance to get hit even if ur good af
good shit brother probably the cleanest kill on youtube right now
Thanks man. Was super stoked to get most of his moves down
@@Trogunzo I'm 120+ attempts in, and that phase 2 is absolutely brutal man
@@LordGloopus fr It was difficult to keep track of the amount of variations he has in his moves, especially in phase 2. I hope you beat it soon!
@@Trogunzocan I summon u for him?
ONGBAL

Thanks for this. I couldn't find a good video on which of his attacks you can parry and which you can't. This helps a lot.
Not even using golden/carian retaliation or buckler parry is also really impressive. Great job man
This alone is nuts I can’t wait to see how people get better and better with this fight

That’s was dope ! Good job brother
This is such an incredible accomplishment. Congrats, dude
Mad respect I honestly thought this was the first FromSoftware boss that they made that couldn’t be beaten solo which for most people is the case.
Hey, I thank you a lot for this vid. I had issues to defeat him but I finally succeeded. I’m suprised how the shield parade is so satisfying by the way.
You are the legend bro
fextralife said 2nd phase cant be parried, i have been lied to and lost a valuable experience.
it's been more than 2 hrs fightning him and can't even reach half of his health
The fact he did this on blessing level 10 is pretty impressive
wow that’s a scary boss 😮
i tried parrying him but i always panic and then mess up in p1, but you are doing it so well, and could actually wait for that delayed two-handed side slash. i keep watching that over and over and im always amazed because i never get that.

I don’t know how you got him in that recurring loop. Whenever I do it he still does every other move he knows.
Excellent fight! You are very skilled!
bro REALLY wanted those extra runes
Congrats! Can't wait to parry and have fun with him too. But it's going to take a while. The new content is huge, I want it all.
Nice title and thumbnail, I really really really wanted to see this before I finished the dlc.
thats ur fault 😂

lets goooo!
After 10 hours also got the solo Parry kill thanks for the inspiration
Well done trog very impressive
Literal king in my eyes
I know a good Souls player when I see one. Always hug the bosses.
How do you parry so well
Good job man!! I literally just beat him, I tried parrying but his phase 2 aoe light attacks always one shotted me so i went with the good old backhand dual wield
I was today years old when I realized you could parry him 😭
Then he's gonna be easier, every soul bosses that can be parried are the easier to defeat but it takes time and practice though. Good job.
I am surprised you can parry this dude. Look at the size of that sword 😂😂
Wait you can parry this big mf? That changes so much, seems like the magic spam he does wont be such a pain if you parry
really well played been done like 100 tries in row still cant beat this mf
You are insanely good
That’so soo good, are you on pc or console? I love the fact that your arena is so dark, my arena is so fucking bright hahaha
do you think hes even possible without parry stg his second phase is impossible
Can you please share the build, talisman, and DLC level? You are amazing man🔥
I showed everything briefly at the end of the video. I appreciate it!
watch the video to the end
Nice job! Is this one harder than malenia?
From a solo perspective, yes 100%! I had to build tons of resistance to survive a few hits. It took me about 4 hours to kill it and the first 2 hours was spent just learning what moves can be parried
I would say so yea. Still haven’t beaten him after 5+ hours
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets nerfed soon, the second phase is brutal.
has anyone figured out how to dodge the move where he jumps in the air and spams clones
That’s the only thing I’m struggling with😭😭
Thanks man, i got a question tho how many tree fragmengs did you have, i got 17 is that enough?
Should be enough someone beat him with 15
wtf i have 10
Total or level? Cuz I'm stuck fighting him at level 8 and I do nothing (ng+3 though)
I was at lvl 10 Scadutree Blessing at the time! Not sure how many fragments though
He does a ton of dmg so building up vigor is important. I was at 50 but in retrospect I realize that I should of put 60
what shield is that bro and what ash of war parry?
Making it my goal to learn how to do this
This actually looks very easy to parry damm
Go try it 😉😋
Its not second phase 💀
Hardest bosses are easier to parry than the ez ones in ER.
your tryna help with mine 😂💀

Great bro
crazy 💀💀💀
Yea parrying him seems to be better for if ur scadutree is really low thats how i was able to do it
What shield is that
using scarlet rot against prime Radahn lol
thats how i beat him
Yeah he’s weak to scarlet rot and bleed
they did not cook with this boss

@@Sin05269 i dont care the boss is shit
@PenguinsAreColdish The boss is cool idk what you're on about. Looks cool, cool moveset, cool fight, cool lore
@Sin05269 phase 2 is cancer.
damn and u only have 10 scad blessings, just built different lol
any tips on dodging the quick 5 teleporting slam?
Run right for single sword slam and run backwards for ground pull attack
NICE
Bro should NOT be parryable lmao. Looks like parrying a train
Yeah, he should not be parryable,Most of player dont use parry so they dont know parryable bosses are eaiser.
This comment only purpose is to boost the algorithm.
Bro humanliate radahn💀 did you spend for 5 hours
what ng are you on?
This looks a little over the top
unironically he is going to be the easiest boss in this dlc if you learn his parries
goat
U Did That With 74Int!!!! And Ain't Use No Magic 😂😂😂😂
Dumb🔥🔥🔥
Based
Thus is what fighting Radagon should have been like.
midring tried to copy lorian and lothric
So, is Miquella 🏳️🌈?
That's the general consensus at the moment
It is possible, however consort does not always mean a romantic partner. A consort can simply be a companion.
@@a_person55 consort clearly means romantic partner
@@PenguinsAreColdish Incorrect
@gamesstarthere correctomundo
radahn's into femboys? every new thing i learn about him the more based he is
nah, Miquella is into chads
I assume that he is not, Miquella might be the only one and he brainwash this radahn.
@@HolaapartySo femboyDom then?
thanx the spoiler
You could easily not read the full title?
