Imagine the fight from Radahn’s perspective though. He’s throwing all these moves at you, and you’ve just tanking his hits. Bro’s probably like “who tf is this guy????”
@@SpookyM0aiManas a souls vet, this fight is a load of horseshit. I still haven’t beaten this fuck and I have too much pride to cheese it, but I won’t blame anybody who does. There are plenty of bosses that require pure skill to beat, he is not one of them.
@@logannewberry5788 We need more people like you and trust me I can understand having too much pride when it comes to bosses because I didn’t use anything for Malenia and Messmer. Fighting them solo was miserable but I just couldn’t bring myself to cheese them
@@logannewberry5788 same here. Been playing since OG demon souls on PS3 and played every game since. Too much pride to summon help but that 2nd phase has so much shit going on it I feel like I've developed heartburn and I haven't eaten anything spicy!
I saw the Haligtree greatshield has a higher holy resist would this shield be better as I don't have the fingerprint upgraded not that its a big deal but if it's worth it over the Haligshield I'll switch.
I did it took me 50 tries tbh if you use the crack tear and block some of the atks with your weapon it becomes alot of fun but i would like to see it toned down in the sec phase fore the light atks but doging in and blocking the clones it wasnt that bad and alot of fun
@@WorldBeater123 yeah, you get it from one of the giant fire guys, i think the very first one you see. if you’ve played sekiro it basically gives u the parry from that game.
The easiest way to beat Radahn was actually shown by a UA-camr called Distortion, he beat him using nothing but a +10 stone golem summon which he was constantly healing, because the summon has so much damage negation it actually has pretty low hp but is still tanky af meaning that it can just Tank for 5 minutes and then 1 heal will put it back to full
Using scholar's shield, great shield talisman and two-headed turtle talisman does wonders for this build, you can keep blocking for super long and get that stamina back super fast too. Could also throw in the Greenburst crystal tear for even faster stam regen.
Don't know how many people see this but blind spot has invincibility frames and pierce damage and can dodge the double cross attack and 90% of radahns attack can be evaded by that and you get the extra damage of attacking him middle of his attack which does more damage because of the pierce
i used antspur rapier with a blood ash of war, fingerprint shield, gauis armor. greatshield talisman, shard of alexander, rotten winged sword, and dragoncrest greatshield. no buffs, just shielded and poked. 112 blood and 50 scarlet rot buildup on antspur. it was insane. i beat him in 3 minutes, with mimic tho
Look, usually I would pan this video, as I hate that strategy, but I get it. He’s one of the hardest bosses in gaming history and I know lots of people stuck on him who feel hopeless. I managed to beat him doing jump attacks with dual grafted Greatswords after learning to time his attacks, but it was brutal. Good luck tarnished!
@@zeeboss7553 I disagree. After spending time learning his moveset, I actually enjoy fighting him now. I can make it to his second phase without getting hit. Then as long as you stay close to him in the second phase you can dodge most of his attacks. don’t get distracted by the “light”, focus on his swing patterns and learning the timing of his swings. Then when he launches in the air at the end, just run to the other side of the arena.
@@WorldBeater123 Ive already beat it normally. I agree that his first phase is good. However the second phase is bull. Hes overtuned as hell, the screen gets lit up with two billion effects every 6 seconds, and has extremely quick cooldowns before he starts another combo (sometimes he just immediately goes into another) You explained it yourself "you should be able to dodge most of his attacks", nah you should be able to dodge all of his attacks, the fact that you cant is unfair. You may enjoy him but he is just not a good boss. Messmer is a good example of a great boss fight from the DLC.
I don’t think the fights bad or anything but second phase TANKS my frame rate to the point of being unplayable so I had to respec and do some corny shit. Kinda sad cuz I think I would’ve enjoyed the fight if it weren’t for that.
I was being kicked hard, then I remembered I had fully upgraded Mohgwyn spear and Fingerprint shied, indeed it works very well. Only need to be careful of stamina management
That’s the build I used. I found out about it on twitter, I was hesitant at first but after getting my ass whoop for 6 hours I’m was willing to try anything and I beat him in 5 tries with it🤣
Just summon mimic with erdtree heal, scarlet aeonia, and a magic affinity fingerprint (because yes his gravity attacks are magic and it raises holy so you can actually tank radahn)
@@sergiodiaz2886 i ended up using a shield and the Antspur rapier and infused with occult since im arcane. Also put poison mist on it to double proc. Could go blood as well to get hemmorage and rot. That thorn build is nuclear though 🤣
This boss is a good boss, the only issue i have with it is it's second phase tanks my fps and i play on ps5, so each attempt ends in me freezing up and dying to the lag Note: I'm playing offline as well
First time: STARTING CLASS: SAMURAI NG+1 Lvl 250 All stats at the same lvl maliketh's Black Blade Radahn's armor Dragon blood seal (or something) Turtle neck (mk2 from dlc) Golden vow (item from dlc) Wonderous phy.: shield tear, last minute hp tear. Bloodboil perfum That's how I got it the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth time. Currently farming in NG+6 to get more lvls, gotta get better for NG+7. Also no mimic or summons, please don't follow my derranged example.
Took me like 6 hours to beat this guy with my build. I almost resorted to a shield poke strategy just to see him fall, but I didn’t give up. Wasn’t about to let him change my build
Dude same except I’m running an intelligence/ Dex build and not a single boss in the dlc took me over an hour to beat, then this fight took me hours, finally respeced and beat him. Makes me think casting just won’t work for this fight.
I beat everything two handing the greatsword, could consistently get to the second phase of radahn with all my flasks still in tact but couldnt beat him, had to use fingerprint and antspur.
Similar experience. I picked up that Milady weapon on my Dexterity/Intelligence build, slapped cold infusion on it, and basically never looked back... ...until Radahn. I genuinely don't think that fight went through testing. The barrage of frame-nuking particles and a literal undodgeable attack (his infamous double-slash-cross) feel like very big oversights.
Took a couple days but I beat him with quality claymore. No spells, no shield just dodging and swinging. Not easy to learn but possible with any build I think
Against this boss my original build was a Rivers of Blood with Bull-Goat Armor (Medium Weight). After 30+ tries I just realized this build just wasn't working against this type of boss and how my build worked, whereas I felt some of my other character builds would stand a much better chance. I swapped to this Build and the fight was EASY, like too easy. My stats were: Level 187, Vigor 65, Mind 15, Endurance 54, Strength 50, Dexterity 15, Intelligence 9, Faith 8, and Arcane 50. Thanks for the video! Its a great last resort build for when you just wanna wrap up the DLC and move on to something else.
@@user-um7wu6uh8o Talismans: Dragoncrest Greatshild +2 (Pearldrake is probably better though), Erdtrees Favor +2, Great-Jars Arsenal, and Millicents Prosthesis/Rotten Winged Sword Insignia. Wonderous Physick: Greenburst and Crimsonburst Crystal-Tear Great Rune: Radahns (This gives such a boost to Health and Staminia that its insane). I didnt use any items for the fight aside from a Great Rune, Flask, and about 3-5 Crimson Flask. Just keep that shield up and poke away!
This is a Spartan build. Using the Perfume skill to target the ground to do absurd damage is a cheese. This is playing defensively, which seems foreign to anyone not running powerstance jump bleed frost builds
Even better weapon for bleed build up is Commander Gaius' sword lance. Put Blood Tax ash of war on it and fully max out the weapon's levels. The bleed build up gets up to 169.
i did the same thing but i put no skill ash of war on my fingerprint shield and used cross naginata with chilling mist so i could get frost and bleed procs. worked on NG+. if you wanna get really cheesy you can summon your mimic with Blasphemous blade and have hefty fire pots so mimic resets your cold procs.
To be honest my damage output is pretty decent. The first phase is actually pretty good to get around. Its the 2nd phase. Its insane how relentless the guy is. Im glad hes like this because its in his character. But at the same time its driving me crazy lol.
I fucking love this boss. Licked my ass for hours until I found out all I had to do was get good and not get hit. All you need is a bonk weapon and you’re good to go
Literally any rapier or spear with any of the 3 largest shields and heavy armor works if you want over kill use ironjar perfume and buffs otherwise just the shield start with armor and lots of stamina works
It works 😅 but that's not the set up I used. Honestly. Any great shield + poke combo works. I used the sword lance + that green shield with the white ivy vines on it.
Yeah, I did something similar. Regen, Stam, Big Shield, Gr.Shield Tali, Pearl Shield Tali, Antspur Rapier with Poison Affinity to stack both dots on him.
Switched my build three different times, tried with Andbach and Thiollier with my mimic tear, would get absolutely wrecked. Then tried with summons, almost one once until he comboed me to death. Finally tried this build minus Mohg's spear (Nightrider's Glaive with blood) and almost killed him while using Thiollier and Ansbach and Mimic Tear. Still lost but I'll be able to tweak it. The fact that it took THIS to even stand a chance after getting through everything else with only slight difficulty just made me really disappointed. I beat Bayle first try with my original build I went in with, yet couldn't do anything with Radahn -___-
Took me a few tries to survive the holy meteor, but finally did it. Yet, I don't really think shield poking is cheesing. Given that it was there since Demon Souls, I would say it is a perfectly legit strategy to use.
In case you want some useful talismans you could go with dragoncrest greatshield, golden braid, maybe lord of blood exultation and... Maybe two-headed turtle, at least I would go for that combination with this build
@@blue_088 This is just what I think could work, in case you're encumbered swap the turtle talisman with the great-jar arsenal, you could try 50 Vigor / 20 Mind / 50 endurance / 50 strength / 15 dex / no points on int nor faith / 36 arcane (in case you go with the great jar you can go with less endurance, in case you have more points to spend put them in arcane for the bleed)
Theres a reason that patches the hyena/rat hides behind a great shield and pokes from behind it with a spear ever since demon souls - he's a coward. Cheese starts have been around since demon souls, so have I, but it goes against the very philosophy of these games. Overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles through repetition and learning from your mistakes. This is such a great fight and methods like this simply ruin it. I appreciate the poster saying that this is a last resort method because it really is. The easiest way I found to beat him without any sort of cheese is to parry him and use a mesricorde dagger with Crit/bleed talismans. He's probably the easiest boss to parry in the entire game, top 5 100%, and it's still an entertaining fight.
While the Fingerprint shield is good, if you get the Black Knight Greatshield, once almost fully leveled, it boasts 100% Holy negation. Good for the Second Phase imo.
@@aaronduran4761 Oh, did it get nerfed a bit? I swear it was 100% once maxed. But maybe that was also because of using the Pearl Shield Talisman and Marika's Braid...
I used +25 naginata with blood bloss and the tear for dmg negation and one for faster stamina regen plus new +3 dragoncrest talisman and the one for physical negation erdtree seal and one (i forget) everyone always pairs with godfrey icon for comet build. This fight is cool but horseshit the amount times he'd perfectly time an attack while i was stuck in a animation mad that very horrible 2 and half hours ngl but i still like the whole lore and environment of the fight.
Funny enough Blood infusion on the naginata doesn't stack so it will cause more bleed if you make it occult and spec 35 arcane. The rule of thumb is occult is for weapons with natural poison/ bleed and Blood is for weapons without it.
Mine was copying the let me tank him build, veridigris armor and shield, antspur with blood echancement and seppuku, common tank stat, all dmg negation talisman (braid, pearl, greatshield, and the other one for physical) just go in, shield poke, enemy ded. I just killed him and felt a bit disgusted honestly... I tried using my dex build for like 3 hours learning his move with no luck. I won using the tank build in 1 try... Fml
It's a really good strat, but at that point just use the mimic tear, at least the mimic tear can die and it doesn't guarantees your victory, even if it's 200% easier that way
For all you noobs who say“it’s to hard” listen I’ll show how many times it took me to defeat the bosses. Rennalla: 5 times (I watched UA-cam) Golden hippo 10 times (dum ahh boss.) Messmar(10 tries Monday and 4 tries Tuesday) The Dancin lion (5 tries because it’s like the erdtree dragon snake or something) CURSE YOU BAYLE( took 5 tries 1 hour then 3 hours later 5) The hog rider ( 20 tries yesterday and today 6) Now listen you must build your self a build that can’t be beat like say a heavy build or dex build for more speed or strength build etc. just try again and again until you get it don’t say it’s to hard just say I’ll try again.

Virdgris set plus bleed sword lance and mimic is the way to go
i saw someome in a tiktok live stream obliterate this man in 15 seconds using a perfume build
Took me a few tries to survive the holy meteor, but finally did it.
Yet, I don't really think shield poking is cheesing. Given that it was there since Demon Souls, I would say it is a perfectly legit strategy to use.
I beat radahn first try using a variation of this build lol
The Bloody helice works too.
I beat him 2 handing a reduvia massive bleed when you use the weapon art and try to hit with the dagger at same time
Oh milady, become my blade once more 🙂↕️🤚 (best dlc weapon)
Question I buy Elden ring beat the game those two bosses then I buy Elden ring shadow to enter the DLC
I use this build when helping others but both times on my own I refuse to do this
I had to pull out the cheese for bayle too dawg… his hit box is so fucking stupid and unfair. Bless poison mist
suppose it makes sense usign mohgs weapon against him as his body
Radhan's first phase is a joke compared to his second phase hence, I start poking him WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS.
Reduvia for the win. You dont need a shield, just fast roll and a lot of luck
I hope they don't nerf him because of some people that cry because of the difficulty
He’s hard for all the wrong reasons
@@fearz792or maybe it’s made for veterans of the series and not you. Most fun I’ve had with a boss since my first souls game 😊
What armor is that u have on? That is so cool looking.
Solitude set
You can get that armor really quick, it's a 2 minute walk from the start of the dlc
@@AustinAMV And need to defeat a Mini boss. Humanoid though, so it is quite easy
Black Gaol knight in the first nameless mausoleum east to Moorth ruins site of grace.
Wow that looks super fun, nice 40 € on the dlc to stand still and brainlessly hit L1 and R1
I mean you could put the full build details in a screen shot link but thanks
In case you want some useful talismans you could go with dragoncrest greatshield, golden braid, maybe lord of blood exultation and... Maybe two-headed turtle, at least I would go for that combination with this build
@@megusolomegu top g. Thanks
@@megusolomegu can u say the stats too for it? i am tired of this freaking bs boss
@@blue_088 This is just what I think could work, in case you're encumbered swap the turtle talisman with the great-jar arsenal, you could try 50 Vigor / 20 Mind / 50 endurance / 50 strength / 15 dex / no points on int nor faith / 36 arcane (in case you go with the great jar you can go with less endurance, in case you have more points to spend put them in arcane for the bleed)
@@megusolomegu thnx man
Beat him with just the fingerprint shield, ash of war shield crash
Trust me don't rob yourself of this fight. It's such a good fight you can do it
Theres a reason that patches the hyena/rat hides behind a great shield and pokes from behind it with a spear ever since demon souls - he's a coward. Cheese starts have been around since demon souls, so have I, but it goes against the very philosophy of these games. Overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles through repetition and learning from your mistakes. This is such a great fight and methods like this simply ruin it. I appreciate the poster saying that this is a last resort method because it really is. The easiest way I found to beat him without any sort of cheese is to parry him and use a mesricorde dagger with Crit/bleed talismans. He's probably the easiest boss to parry in the entire game, top 5 100%, and it's still an entertaining fight.
We need a radahn weapon build
Worked for me. What were your stats
I wish I saw this before I spend 3 hours of boxing him with my mimic but aye mission accomplished
I used the scholar shield and ant spur rapier😅
There are more powerful builds to beat Radahn but they're most likely going to be nerfed, this method might not get nerfed
What's that armor? Looks sick I want ittt
While the Fingerprint shield is good, if you get the Black Knight Greatshield, once almost fully leveled, it boasts 100% Holy negation. Good for the Second Phase imo.
If you mean the black steel greatshield it has 84% once maxed out
@@aaronduran4761 Oh, did it get nerfed a bit? I swear it was 100% once maxed. But maybe that was also because of using the Pearl Shield Talisman and Marika's Braid...
@@EtGemitusMortisno you were correct used this method myself
So, how was the last Elden Lord really like??
He poked.
i didnt know fighting him head on with shield consider cheese
bro just get the bloodfiend arm with endure and spam that shit with r2 lmao
spear and shield is always cheese build in my book
I used +25 naginata with blood bloss and the tear for dmg negation and one for faster stamina regen plus new +3 dragoncrest talisman and the one for physical negation erdtree seal and one (i forget) everyone always pairs with godfrey icon for comet build. This fight is cool but horseshit the amount times he'd perfectly time an attack while i was stuck in a animation mad that very horrible 2 and half hours ngl but i still like the whole lore and environment of the fight.
Funny enough Blood infusion on the naginata doesn't stack so it will cause more bleed if you make it occult and spec 35 arcane.
The rule of thumb is occult is for weapons with natural poison/ bleed and Blood is for weapons without it.
What’s the talisman??
This boss fight was made for shield and spear 😂
Mine was copying the let me tank him build, veridigris armor and shield, antspur with blood echancement and seppuku, common tank stat, all dmg negation talisman (braid, pearl, greatshield, and the other one for physical) just go in, shield poke, enemy ded. I just killed him and felt a bit disgusted honestly... I tried using my dex build for like 3 hours learning his move with no luck. I won using the tank build in 1 try... Fml
Fighting him on ng1 sucks man
imma have to cheese him bcs his blinding light attack tanked my fps to like...20fps 😂😂
tbf i have dookie cpu tho...Ryzen 5 2600
It's a really good strat, but at that point just use the mimic tear, at least the mimic tear can die and it doesn't guarantees your victory, even if it's 200% easier that way
Mimic tear does not make this fight as easy as you think it does...
Ah what ?
@@kaloyaxeusit doesn’t make it free but it 100% makes it a lot easier
For all you noobs who say“it’s to hard” listen I’ll show how many times it took me to defeat the bosses.
Rennalla: 5 times (I watched UA-cam)
Golden hippo 10 times (dum ahh boss.)
Messmar(10 tries Monday and 4 tries Tuesday)
The Dancin lion (5 tries because it’s like the erdtree dragon snake or something)
CURSE YOU BAYLE( took 5 tries 1 hour then 3 hours later 5)
The hog rider ( 20 tries yesterday and today 6)
Now listen you must build your self a build that can’t be beat like say a heavy build or dex build for more speed or strength build etc. just try again and again until you get it don’t say it’s to hard just say I’ll try again.
