Great video, bot for me the biggest problem with this damn fight is not to deal damage, but to stay alive... I know shield is great, but what about other builds like dexterity low equip load? Ive only defeated this boss with a heavy shield, otherwise it is unbeateable for me...
Fingerprint stone shield and brass shield with barricade shield is not here because it has ascended the tier list, being the absolute easiest playstyle against this boss 😂
@@modsas9309 I was scared to mention the brass shield. I don't think the elden ring community is ready to know about its true power let's just keep it a secret for now ok? 😂
Is this ranking good also to beat vanilla game until radagon ?
I'd say so, yea. piercing damage is generally the best damage type even in the base game imo (except for catacombs/mines). holy damage weapons perform mostly fine as well up until stuff like maliketh & radabeast
@ its true in dlc faith weapons are best ?
your videos are great and you display amazing skill within the game, I was surprised to see you had this little subscribers, I hope to see it payoff soon
🥺 thank you very much for the kind words!!
Dual naginatas
dual wielding those is ridiculously good vs radahn, highly recommend
@nemxo0709 after 500 tries. I had to be disgusting and pull out the Boys, I feel dirty but I couldnt beat him otherwise
i'm debating on going with zweihander or darkmoon greatsword for him on my super high leveled ng+ save, because on one hand, i saw you use that zweihander months ago and was absolutely shocked and kind of wanna do that. also, big sword for the big strong man on the other hand, my slot is also going for the lord of the stars ending, so going for ranni's gift to him might be Fucking Awesome for the "theme" i'm trying to go for, and it can still retain that charged heavy playstyle, though i could also just save that for the elden beast, because after i'm done with the ng+ dlc, i still have maliketh, godfrey, and radagon to take care of there are also a bunch of other fully upgraded weapons he can use and dish out some real damage with, which i feel like listing the bosses they killed here for no particular reason - Claymore (killed morgott and messmer, apparently COLD has more AR than heavy despite being a status infusion) - Solitary Greatsword (killed godrick, because where else would i use the wind ash of war other than STORMVEIL? i also used it on the divine dancing lion, because it uses wind) - Smithscript Axe (killed the putrescent knight) - Greataxe, the greataxe (killed rellana. was fun) - Executioner's Greataxe (CUUUUUUURRSE YOU BAAAYYLLEE. i actually killed him fast enough for igon to live through the whole thing. it's also the main weapon i used throughout the entirety of my first playthrough on this slot) - Dane's Footwork (killed melenia with it. i'm used to fighting her with heavier or even higher DPS weapons so it was a fun thing to learn. screw that clone attack though) - Marika's Hammer (went against the theme i was going for until i got to shaman's village and thought "hang on what if he got it from HERE". anyway, it was actually really fun against midra, but the fun didn't last long because it crippled him twice over in like one minute. i used it against midra because midra is the lord of frenzied flame who incinerates all. sounds pretty unholy to me, let's use the holy hammer) - I also have red bear claws, sword lance, and the gazing finger, and while i'm certain i killed at least ONE remembrance boss with the first two, i can't remember who they are
both are just such good options... I'd personally probably go with the zweihander cuz I've always been a sucker for UGS but yea. lmk which one you choose! thanks for sharing that too btw almost all of those options kick ass. wish dane's footwerk & gs of solitude were just a bit stronger than they are but you can't have everything. and yea I can see marika's hammer absolutely breaking midra's limbs with the tiny bit of poise he has
@@nemxo0709 I went with the Darkmoon Greatsword. It was fun, and I managed to kill him in only three tries, surprisingly. Wound up finishing the playthrough in the same sitting. Maliketh died to the red bear claws, because beast claws against the beast clergyman also the wind theme. Gideon got annihilated by the Gazing Finger because fuck him. Godfrey went down to Dane's Footwork. He's melee, I'm melee. Elden Beast died from a crit with the Darkmoon Greatsword. Great finisher.
this video is great, happy to see some of the inclusions like the messmers soldier spear is the first thing i beat radahn with on my ng+7 character and the cleanrot knight sword is what i used for my rl1 fight
thank you very much!! means alot. and yea those weapons are just hella good
The chicken wing is actually game breaking, because the ideal stat spread for this weapon (54str/45arc) is actually perfect for the Ancient Meteoric Ore GS, so literally, 1 build is automatically optimized for 2 very distinct weapons on this list.
didn't even think about that, damn
come back someday gang. we need to hear your thoughts on nightreign 😢
okay hear me out; if there's some stupidly hard boss in nightreign you already know I'll be doing the same challenge (probably wouldn't be pumping out runs at the same pace tho lol) if you wanna hear my thoughts on nightreign as of right now; very pleasantly surprised. it seems to be more of a side project until their next major release but that is completely fine considering they've brought out games year for year. I like what they're going for here honestly. if the focus rly is on multiplayer and map generation varies properly from session to session I can see this being very grindable and enjoyable
3:36 🍃🍃
I love using the Spiked Club and a Holy Infused shield on Radhan. On a occult infusion, the Spiked Club gets an A scaling, has base bleed, gets solid stance damage and a good guard counter. In kinda just has everything for any fight. Very fun
Wouldn't it be better to use braggart's roar instead of cragblade?
@@strozum the animation for the heavy is just way too long for a nohit run unfortunately
@@nemxo0709 Well, Braggarts uncharged heavy is fast and hits pretty hard.
Been my favorite weapon since day one of elden ring. Many playthroughs with it. Great video!
Claymore the old man choice for every souls along with the Zweihander, it always works
Before this boss was nerf I beat it for the first time with a large shield the sword lance and blood tax AOW
Milady! Charged heavies with Cragblade are great. And the r1s fit in everywhere all the time.
very true! the r1 animations are so damn fast
Very unique tging about this weopon is that this has the most hyper armor of any greataxes. Maybe little more than greathammers. It's definitely not no hit weopon but it's very good weopon regardless
oh shit, didn't know that
Fact that this charged r2 does more damage than The Greatsword charged r2 is crazy. And almost non-existence stamana cost makes this weopon my favorite somber greatsword
You're the goat I'm gonna be choose my weopon of children by watching your videos and reading your reviews
LMAO thanks.. alot of my older reviews are bad if I went back to redo all of them I'd change so many tbh
I challenged myself to use only that torch. I know it's bad damage but it gets very abnormally high stance damage
If i like quickstep would you recommend this?
absolutely not
When you do these kills do you try to keep your level the same for every one or do you just do an optimal stat investment for max damage?
oourgh it's hard to say, a general rule of thumb for me was only investing like 120ish points at the very most. for weapons that REALLY sucked and had many different scalings I broke that rule at times but I never went for any ridiculous levels you wouldn't be able to get by the time u realistically reach radahn I think. for things like a heavy greatsword for example the only thing I invested was like 70 points into str. mind & stamina always stayed the same
Deflecting hardtear plus zweilhander smoked him for me. Also milady with winged stance shard of Alexander and renallas cameo does hilarious damage
yea both of those are soooo damn good... milady is in the top 30 for sure imo
What talismans are u running with it ?
red-feathered branch sword, blade of mercy, axe talisman & two-headed turtle talisman
@ one more question is it better to have heavy or quality
@@Jaden-hx5bf heavy for sure, with 60str/60dex quality u only get 488 AR where as with 80str heavy u get 497
I want to do a strength faith build and i plan to use fire knight great sword for endgame but i need a early game strength/faith weapon to use before the dlc
I'd recommend the golden halberd, ordovis's greatsword, blasphemous blade, gargoyle's blackblade, magma wyrm's scalesword or siluria's tree for you in that case! almost all sacred infused weapons will do great as well
@nemxo0709 thanks!
Hmm. Am surprised that coded sword didn't get here but Cipher pata. Coded sword is the same weapon just better. But Pata's skill is faster and I guess is better against Radahn who is fast
thinking about it I might as well have added it as at least an honorable mention. I found more success with the cipher pata due to the rly fast animation personally but you rly can't go wrong with either of those options
Incredible video!
Would love to see this for other bosses
Hey, nice video, but you accidentally said messmer soldier spear instead of axe
Thanks! Yea I got a bit mixed up there, sorry 😅
I wish this weapon can be infused, or if not has an arcane scaling
yea, same! and the worst part is this thing is upgraded with normal smithing stones
There's a few things that I fumbled/forgot in the video; The Milady w/ Wing Stance, Cross-Naginata & Bolt of Gransax (lowkey could have put gransax at #25 instead of the cleaver tbh) are fantastic weapons for this fight and worthy of being honourable mentions as well. There are alot of powerstanced weapons that are top tier too like the Scavenger's Curved Swords that I did not include since this is mainly for each standalone weapon. 10:25 I was referring to the Messmer Soldier's Axe here, not the spear. Sorry. The Coded Sword is a great alternative to the Cipher Pata if u don't mind a slightly slower AOW. Finally I'd like to apologise for the horrendous overuse of the word "absolute" holy shit... 🥲
Damn bro, what a staggering display of patience. 339 no-hits? I could barely handle a single normal one 🥲
thanks.. at some point muscle memory takes over and fighting him is like white noise
lvl 1 with high dex and int huh?
shh don't tell anybody..
Wow
Lol i would've said this is a good video but you missed the Northern Regalia and Marika's Penetrator Sword :/
those are pretty good options too, I'm also a big fan of the remorse greatsword that is dropped by the myrmidon of loss
Wow great job! I beat him with my favorite weapon Lions Claw. I think next time I'll be using giant hunt. My friend mentioned something about charged heavies or light attacks or the c-lay-more or something, but I think his game might be bugged because L2 is the only attack button In the game. Anyways love the vids! :^)
Claymore? Never heard. Only know lion's claw and l2.
Actually X + L1 is the only attack button in the game idk what this Guy is cooking
Awesome video! Thanks for making those
yeah i'm shocked the golden halberd is on there, i didn't even give it a second look :o gonna start a playthrough with it tonight, great video
yo enjoy it! if you get tired of only having golden vow I recommend trying the nightrider glaive too. same moveset
i was hoping you would make a video like this after you finished all the weapons. amazing video
rly appreciate the kind words james, nice to see u around too hope u been doin well
What was the most fun weapon for you? Also, do you intend in ranking spells too?
the most fun were definitely the obsidian lamina & death knight's longhaft axe as for spells I'm quite unsure if I'll make a video on it but anything with a short animation will do very well. comet, icecrag, carian slicer even zamor ice storm in the longer openings. all of the golden order/miquella incantations that deal holy damage are great options too!
Purple Butterflies/scarlet Aeonia really helps too in the second phase, but you're gonna have to trade out some for those so will need good defenses. For high levels and NG+ I like a combination of Miquellas Ring/Death poker L2 (but not the followup usually) and Purple Butterflies. Carian Slicer/Death Poker/Ranni's Darkmoon. One downside of spells though is that switching between multiple spells mid battle creates one more complication to keep track of, so it's better to keep it as simple as possible.
Great Video!
THAT'S MY GOAT!!
hi man GG for this run, what s ur 4th talisman ? i don t know it
hey, it's the red-feathered branch sword which increases all damage by 20% when below 20% hp. it drops from the deathbird near scenic isle in liurnia of the lakes.
What are you drinking to reduce your HP in the beginning?
I'm using a CheatEngine hotkey to set my hp to 40
@@nemxo0709 ah okay, thx. Great Videos btw 😊
@@sephirl6082 thank u!
Legend! GG w8 bows 🙏🏻
It's over. Nice.
This run felt do easy from a viewers perspective! Definitely one of your best ones visually
@@usuario_youtube1 glad to hear! ty for the feedback
Great job man, I love this weapon. Might have been faster with heavy affinity + bloodflame blade. Granted it would be more annoying because you would need to re-apply the buff a second time during the fight, probably. 685 AR on Occult with your stats 729 AR Heavy with 80- 13 stats split + bloodflame dmg depending on your faith incant scaling.
thank you!! yea the reapers are extremely cool and for some reason I haven't yet done a playthrough with any of them. I'm very lazy so I always went for occult over a buffable infusion. stuff like the nagakiba would have been better with keen & bloodflame but oh well..
Great work Nemxo! The thrusting shields were shine for guard counters, though in the 2nd phase it won't be a no hit fight because of chip damage from his holy pillars. Guars counters are tricky in the 2nd phase, I've noticed on some moves I need to block both his initial swings and then the follow up beams. He also has a lot of moves that aren't safe to block or shield poke through because even with good timing or barricade shield his attacks still consume a metric fuckton of your stamina bar. I prefer videos like this series you made over the ones that focus on trying to do a fast OP kill. The thing the OP videos don't show is that it relies a fair bit the RNG gods smiling in your favor before the buffs run out, and doing a complex buffing and talisman swapping routine before every fight is really annoying. I do like the Black Dumpling helm for that though since its buff lasts a good minute.
thanks! trying a guard counter build is still on my bucket list... dunno which weapons I'll be doing that with. didn't know black dumpling lasted a minute... that's actually pretty damn solid
I'm not sure why you can even upgrade the torches except as a gimmick for those who want to try it. Elden Ring has too many weapons imo that are poor or mid. Even though Bloodborne has a far more limited weapon selection I liked how basically all of them were well thought out and useful.
so many somber weapons in this game where my question is just "why?" like why do they even exist? bloodborne did it right for sure
