You can perfect block every attack in the game. How much chip damage you take depends on what damage type it is and how much is your weapon's guard absorption.
That’s how I beat Radhan for the first time, except with milady instead of uchigatana. It’s so fun tbh! Took me about a hundred try, but definitely worth it
You know what could've made the cosplay even more fitting? Equip Rakshasa's Great Katana at the back when you two-handing Uchigatana. It's like Mortal Blade. Rivers of Blood is also good but great katana being bigger and longer just like Mortal Blade is to Kusabimaru.
All this time & I never realised that standing directly under Radahn is the safe zone against that holy pillars AOE attack.... Could've save me a lot of trouble on this guy...
It's not safe. This guy just used the deflecting hardtear to perfect block it. It's a great option to deal with the attack, although the timing can be quite tricky to nail down
You know, I think Win or lose Radahn is happy the Tarnished One wailed on his junk so hard as to make it completely worthless to him, considering the fate that awaited him…
ran a genichiro cosplay build and god this fight was fun if you want to make it feel even more like sekiro, the nagakiba r2 is pretty much identical to wolf's thrust attack
Nice, I did a similar build for most of the DLC bosses. Extremely fun. I worked in a few other tools I thought were still thematic enough (smithscript knives - shurikens, perfume - firecrackers, martial arts).
@@spectre_9 When you two-hand it you get the 1.5x str multiplier... so even though he only has 66 in str, it's equivalent of 99. A lot more damage at level 150 than keen affinity @ 66 dex with same A scaling.
nice run! when deflecting all 3 hits of cross-slash, did you ever get knocked back at times? It seemed inconsistent for me where sometimes I got knocked back after deflecting and sometimes I was able to stay standing and Guard Counter.
Thanks! You mean when you get sent into the roll animation after deflecting? Yeah that would happen to me, it seemed to happen when I slightly mistimed the parry.
I fully tested this. You get knocked back when you have some distance from him, after the 2 slashes, walk towards him almost to the point of touching, and deflect the last attack. You will NEVER be knocked back then
is the window for doing a perfect block FAR more lenient than i expected? the base description of it comes off as "this is for you crazy people that literally parry everything" which instantly turned me away because i basically dont parry given how much i suck at it.
You get decent scaling on the weapon, plus the 1.5x modifier from two handing it: it's a viable strat even without the busted two-handed sword talisman/deflecting hardtear combo you pick up in the DLC.
My buddy is playing the DLC right now. He is having trouble with Radahn. He swears the guys making videos on how to fight him are doctoring the vids. He said it is impossible the way they fight him and dont get hit
Can I still do this without the bull-goat greaves? I accidentally killed patches this time and I’m not sure if poise has anything to do with deflecting hard tear or avoiding stance breakage
it lasts 5mins, you time your blocks right before an attack hits by tapping guard and not holding, you will hear a sound que when done correctly. It also increases guard counter dmg up to 80%. You increase the dmg by deflecting more attacks before using guard counter. 1 deflect is +20%, some heavy attacks count as 2 deflects.
@@steezy_33 it only affects guard counters so it should last the small window you get after deflecting to do a guard counter. Some strong attacks push you back and lock you in an animation, you still can do guard counters after the animation is finished. However, you get pushed back quite a bit so most weapons guard counters won't reach the attacker. Some weapons give forward momentum when you guard counter combined with good range it should reach consistently. I have a build in mind centered around this, I'll be trying it out soon.
If you're using the deflect hardtear in your physick then the katana parries will work as long as you're deflecting the enemy's attacks at the right timing. The counterattack after is called a guard counter, it's done by pressing heavy attack immediately after a successful deflect .
Surprisingly, the orbital laser doesn't deal too much damage if you block it. I've seen with the chicken leg colossal weapon and a shield deal about the same damage as in the video when blocking. He also parried the last nuke but it doesn't look like the first one was parried.
@@Thelowish how does it work exactly is it like the other buffs like for 30 or 60 seconds? And do you have to time it like in sekiro or is it less generous and more tight?
@@ardavila_it's 5min duration and yes the timing is pretty fogiving for the base parry but for the perfect parry the timing is tight but match fair with bosses animation
Is this a mod? How does your katana have 100% physical damage negation and how do you have enough poise/shielding power with a katana to block like you're using moore's shield?
The hardest boss is your fucking speakers bro
Lore accurate sounds
@@malice5863 correct lol
Nah he parried a nuke
Hilariously, it’s actually a consistent strategy thanks to that high pitched sound queue about a second before the explosion.
Not gonna sugarcoat it, L1
@@voyronn Dorya!
bro where???? Am I trippin or sum? Dude never parried once?😂
nukes fall from the sky(Radhans meteor crash) I aint seen no parry when that man crash landed somone plz help me understand😂
Today I learned you can perfect block Miquella's light lmao, wild.
Also love the use of quickstep to emulate sekiro dodges.
I did it by accident, and it becomes a routine when refight him
You can perfect block every attack in the game. How much chip damage you take depends on what damage type it is and how much is your weapon's guard absorption.
Hesitation is defeat. Well done.
shinobi execution💀
Now I’m starting to wonder if we even played the same game.
No he had deflecting hardtear
least panicking last 5% of radahn's health
Fr
God I love the deflecting hardtear.
This video deserves way more views. Love the hair/armor to look like wolf, and the use of quickstep. Deflect on this fight is way more fun than dodge.
The armor does look kind of like Wolf’s outfit.
That’s how I beat Radhan for the first time, except with milady instead of uchigatana. It’s so fun tbh! Took me about a hundred try, but definitely worth it
4:10 😂 omg that’s close AF
I was sweating at this part lmao

the deflect tear is the best thing in this dlc, ggs
Seriously! They basically fixed the game. Kinda just wish it was permanent though lol
@@michaelcollins234I think it stays for about 10 minutes just enough for a boss fight
That hardtear is a fucking godsend. I'm far from beating him, but I wouldn't have lasted that far in the DLC without it.
Lol your perfect blocking while I'm eating hits with a colossal weapon
A rare case of youtube recommendation algorithm working as intended.
Great job, really cool idea.
HESITATION IS DEFEAT
so cool to see john sekiro vs steven elden ring
I never thought about going directly under Radahn during his T pose move...
Bro started fumbling to say "nah I'd win" and parry a fuckin nuke💀
Legend, thank you for the video, it was very nice to watch this fight.
For this reason I love fighting this boss
1:10 WHAT?!

Will we be getting a sekiro biuld 2.0 I wonder? 🤔
Nice, I did a similar build for most of the DLC bosses. Extremely fun. I worked in a few other tools I thought were still thematic enough (smithscript knives - shurikens, perfume - firecrackers, martial arts).
I recently beat him with an owl (owl, the boss from sekiro) cosplay, the deflecting hardtear is so much fun
That sounds awesome tbh. Imagine a Isshin cosplay with the Naginata, a Katana and whatever you would use as a glock.
@@waveburner1254 maybe the pulley crossbow in your offhand with rot arrows could work as the glock?
Wowww, learned a lot from this video, you're out of this Word man, Thanks
This is dope! Great fight. Gotta give this build a run.
That was impressive.
I did not know you can perfect guard the perfect guard to stop knockback. I guess I miss it when i most need it.
The biggest surprise about this video it's the fact that he's running a strenght build and not a dex one
Yah, I wanna know the reason for this. First thought he played Dex with Uchigatana until the end of the vide lol
@@spectre_9 When you two-hand it you get the 1.5x str multiplier... so even though he only has 66 in str, it's equivalent of 99. A lot more damage at level 150 than keen affinity @ 66 dex with same A scaling.
damn, Miquella really attempted an uncomfortable number of hugs there. he wants you lol
I'm in awe, great job!
I couldn't see what even happened at times because of his shadow clone jutsu + holy bullshit.
4:11 you must have been so scared lol
to doubt is to lose
@@russianroadman Hesitation is defeat!
I beat him, but I could never do it like this. Props to you 😊!
for anyone curious, you unlock 'sekiro mode' by getting the deflect tear which is dropped by the first wickerman you see in the dlc
Lore acurate, this boss is legit a Sekiro boss
I was attempting this the other day and did so horrible 😂 good shit !
Me: Sekiro parry looks rather easy
Me try: **Dies in his first combo**
this is the craziest fight i've ever seen
I swear if Elden Ring has Sekiro parry system, Radahn will be dead for the third time already.
Well, It does
Whenever I see builds like this I’m like omg it looks so fun let me try it and then I get clapped because I’m on ng+7
"Dlc too hard" 😂 For real tho, amazing job
phenomenal fight
nice run!

@@MajinMaliketh Yeah exactly. Ok cool sounds like it's just timing based then. There must be a "deflect" and a "perfect deflect" window.

I Parry Everything anime in a nutshell
Seriously though, using the deflecting tear was a game changer for me in this fight. Made the fight tolerable
is the window for doing a perfect block FAR more lenient than i expected?

which instantly turned me away because i basically dont parry given how much i suck at it.
He actually parried a nuke. Thought edisdnilb was just exaggerating
Lore accurate 🐐
Almost chocked at the end
No one talking about the insane damage he's doing??
this boss fight hurt my eyes
amazing!
Coolest consort build ever
That triple parry should not be possible 💀
Nice job
you could have used raptor of the mist on katana as skill to dodge the holy nuke .
Really need to try deflecting hardtear I guess
Also, apparently quick step is more useful than bloodhounds step in this fight
I played this build but with Nagakiba, then I realized I could just be playing sekiro
underrated comment
Today in Elden Ring I learned that u can literally deflect *anything* 😭
Guy used an uchi on a strength build mind you.
Ash of war str
This was awesome, mad props !How were you able to hold block and deflect all his attacks ??
Finally this game got some good music, bout time…
Why does no one ever try blocking in these elden ring videos? Dude made this look effortless.
He isn’t blocking
@@redfs7414 Looks like blocking to me.

Is this real or modded? I honestly cannot tell anymore with so many videos and how the DLC adds new things lol
How to properly instal.this mod?!😳Dosnt worki on my pc!!☹️
The post meteor phase is incredibly messy in every single of these videos, absolute disgrace of a fight
Can someone please explain deflecting tear to me. Very confused with how it exactly works, u can’t just hold guard right?
Hit block right before the attack connects like a parry

This amazing! Does the deflecting hard tear have a time limit? I am curious about trying it out on a ng+
5 or 6 minutes
5 minutes. Should be enough unless you do piss poor damage.
How does he just block the attacks without damage or barely and stamina penalty?
So why is it when i do this i just take full damage to the face?
Nice
Nice, very based
john sekiro
it should deal damage even through a block, is there some kind of talisman or something?
Hello!, I have tried this build, but something is wrong, it doesn't parry with the katana to counterattack, what could it be?

"I'm baffled"
Baaaaang! GG
How do you get 100% physical block on the katana?
T-pose on the T-poser
Lets go!
What did you do at 1:10 did you hide under him or are you able to deflect it?
Surprisingly, the orbital laser doesn't deal too much damage if you block it. I've seen with the chicken leg colossal weapon and a shield deal about the same damage as in the video when blocking. He also parried the last nuke but it doesn't look like the first one was parried.

Now I'm going to ask like a noob,
But how come he doesn't take damage when he blocks with the weapon?
Is it the timing or something else?
It’s the deflecting hard tear
Was missing Malenia's arm for the cosplay, run invalid.
