when i first got to the second phase the design threw me because it just looks like radahn got new hair and one of those up top spread out ponytails. like slay dude, the power of a hair change
Why go on about redahn fighting a blind woman with one arm? Im not much into lore its secondary to gameplay to me..but wasn't Melanie the one went looking for a fight and she got one?
Wraff is really fun to watch when it comes to disseminating lore but she has a tendency to strawman at times - she does a similar thing whenever it comes to discussing Miquella, Malika or Gwyn lmao.
I think people struggle for the same reason they struggled against Malenias Waterfowl Dance: While its easy to dodge on a purely mechanical level, figuring out *how* to dodge, what is actually expected of you, is hard unless you constantly experiment. You can easily fall into a routine without making any progress. Especially while tilted and frustrated from the lack of progress, ironically.
@@soeintyp9393 this btw is part of why i consider it bad boss design and why i have a problem with the extremely over the top fast long combo's in general. Difficulty isnt the problem, but the mechanics make it too hard to learn which makes progressing on them way more frustrating. Margit could kill me 50 times and i'd barely get frustrated because i could always see what went wrong exactly.
Its pretty bad design on the game's part that this boss either forces you into being a top 1% player... or forces you to respec to block & poke with a greatshield.
Or you just have Taylew the random Smith guy 1v1 Radahn while you stand at the side and press heal occasionally. Absolute gigachad summon, doesnt even care if he gets hugged by Miquella because he is on his sigma grindset.
Or just git gud. I beat him with my dumb quality longsword with no shield and i’m not a god gamer. Don’t claim something badly designed just because you don’t understand it.
@@terranorth i got gud. I beat every boss in elden ring, base and DLC, without summons or cheese. Im not a top 1% player by any means but im a decent representation of the normal non-summoning Elden Ring player. Im glad you managed to beat him with a non-hard counter respec or summon. But congratulations, that definitely makes you one of the exceptions. Its quite disingenious to act as if the massive number of serious players who felt forced to respec to a specific build were just all stupid and unskilled. You can see it in the streamer community too. Players weve seen take x and y amount of tries or time to beat bosses before suddenly spike to taking way way longer than before. Streamers who did everything without respeccjng or summoning feeling forced to do both.
@@mistrants2745 no it doesn’t make me the exception, i’m a normal dude, i just learned the boss, that’s it. Sure, it requires patience and time, but it doesn’t mean the boss is badly made. Normies could literally say the same thing about any souls boss then, and i guess we’d have to concede these games as a whole aren’t good? I’m not saying they’re unskilled, i’m saying the opposite, they could manage it if they just learned the boss and didn’t forced themselves into playing another build at the first difficulty.
Play however you like if you defeat the boss that's all that matters ❤️
You can do it girl! I have faith in you.

She really doesnt like Radahn, she is exaggerating for comedic effect.
Its just funny framing.

They both were itching for a fight, and it's become even more clear after DLC.
Poor Malenia :(
@@Wraff yea ok..gg btw on finally beating your favourite demi god redahn!! 💪
I thought this would have been the clear. I'm very surprised at the lack of progress.
