On NG +3 I was trying out different builds on Radahn. I felt the best build was blood fiend's arm with lions claw. It felt like I was bullying Radahn. He died before he could do his meteor strike.

I am in ng5+ and I am trrying to beat him with Ansbar and Thiolier with the back blade dex build and it is nearly impossible. I managed a draw kill but the game did not give me the win lol, I wish I had it on video, it was epic.

[@christianotto5553]

I'm always amazed at how much offensive you can put into your build. On NG8, if I don't have 3000 hp and 66% resists, I get oneshot by pretty much everything in this DLC. =C

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Yeah NG+7 is tough. I would actually go the parry route. You can pretty much control the fight if you learn his parryable attacks.

[@christianotto5553]

I suppose that would work best. Requires perfect timing, though. One misparry and you're toast. I used the shieldpoke build to defeat him, but it takes foreeever!

[@jeramiebender7056]

Yeah I'm on NG+5 and I have to use shield poke method as well. I can't parry worth garbage. This video makes it look easy but it's definitely not

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@jeramiebender7056 it’s not easy. Took me 4 hours to learn & another 4 hours to finally get a no hit lol it’s rewarding though for sure 👍

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

Definitely think the parry guide would be an invaluable resource--it seems like being able to parry his combos from any stage of them is key to victory, having been working on Parrying him myself. Still haven't beat him, yet but I have phase 1 down pretty well.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@xX_Thaddeus_Xx parry guide is up! Should be easy to find on my main page. Cheers.

[@captkalik]

For me bloodfiend arm with lions claw and deflect tear were good, deflect and guard could with bloodfiend hits really hard, and usually I did charge attacks but when he run around or confuse me I would do lions claw since it has hyper armor and does 40 stance

[@gnb_2476]

I am gonna have to try ice spear. I haven't done it yet and have died to him 41 times now using cold uchigatana with bloodhound step powerstanced with moonveil. I have been effectively proccing frostbite with my slashes, so I will try this as quick hot swaps. I really don't want to respec from my int/dex hybrid samurai.

[@willquinndeb]

I like to have all the stuff, I am a collector... my understanding is that if you want the Thiolliers Hidden Needle you have to take him into end fight ... so you have to take in a helper if you want this at the end..

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Yea for that Questline I believe you do. Keep in mind though if you summon both NPC’s, he’ll gain a substantial amount of HP.

[@willquinndeb]

@@AverageGamerMatt well I gave up they were pulling me down so I did go in without either one and when he Radahn died the outfit was there along with the needle so guess you do not have to take them in and I had so much of an easier time without them

[@bioniclefan10]

You do not need to summon Thiollier in the final boss fight to get his weapon, or any of his clothes or items. You'll find them on his boy regardless if he was summoned. Just make sure you've been following his quest line. Same with Ansbach and his stuff, or any npc. You do not need to summon them to get there items. Source is I have personally verified and you'll see it confirmed any wikis, like Fextralife. I too like to collect everything so I know how you feel, do not need to summon if you don't want to,

[@bioniclefan10]

@@willquinndeb I find Ansbach and a summon can be of help if you feel like it, but it does increase his health. Even more so with Ansbach and Thiollier together, but I find Thiollier useless, which is kind of true to his character.

[@DigitalHaze65536]

I used basically the same thing but had Godskin Sticher with Blood affinity instead. (pros: longer sword and more base damage than Sword Lance. cons: less bleed build up but still enough to proc a few times....probably equals out)

[@grigoregruesome3606]

I found a lot of the bosses in the dlc were more predictable without a summon. Radahn and Messmer seem to go nuts when you bring in a summon and they become way too unpredictable. Sometimes if you just hang out in a corner they’ll hit a summon with a full combo then turn and clear the entire arena just to blast you. From did some weird stuff with the boss AI for the dlc.

[@jasonjj1898]

This kind of video is really fun! Would love to see ones on Messmer and Rellana

the blasphemous blade build is *************LITERALLY************ the ONLYYYYYYYY thing that has worked for me against this mf. i was finallyyyy able to beat him with no summons using that exact build with my extra points going into mainly vigor and faith. i used everything that u did and just beat him and feel like im about to have a heart attack 😭😭

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@TestAcc-bw9gk congrats! 🎉 be happy you got him, he’s tough for sure 👍

[@SupremeFazLord]

How mine doesn’t do enough damage and it’s +10, I got all talismans, higher level, same armour, sometimes I use mimic and it’s just bad.

[@TestAcc-bw9gk]

@@SupremeFazLord make sure ur at scadutree level 20 then just spam the L2. i literally never even used the regular r1 and r2 attacks i just had like 2 or 3 blue flasks and kept spamming L2 then popped a blue flask whenever i ran out of fp. before entering i popped the physic that had flame cracked tear and opaline hardtear, which both last for exactly 3 minutes, then did flame grant me strength with a +13 clawmark seal (idk if that makes a big difference or not) and then id try to get him to do his first purple charge attack so i could get a point blank on him for the 5k dmg. then if he did his slash attacks and u dodge towards him u can get another point blank for a free 10k off rip, cuz any time he would do those attacks it was a free 4-5k dmg cuz i got so used to the timing. and any time u can get a point blank it does extra damage cuz i guess it counts as the R1 damage as well as the L2 damage whenever the blade actually hits him. in the run i beat him in it only took me 4 L2 attacks with 2 of those being point blanks to get him to phase 2 in about 30 seconds, so i still had the physic effect for the rest of the fight. u just gotta keep trying till u get good rng tbh cuz i feel like my run came down to good rng and nothing else. also idk if ur using gold summons but if u are it makes him even tankier and u wont do as much dmg. i was doing around 5k per L2 point blank and then 3.7k from a distance with this exact build at scadutree level 20, 78 vig, 30 mind, 32 endurance, 22 strength, 15 dex, 7 int, 62 faith, 11 arcane. and i used the i frames of the L2 to my advantage cuz even if he hits u u can usually get the attack off + each attack heals u so id use that in place of a heal sometimes and risk it.

[@FriendsForFriends666]

Have you tried the backhand blade on radahn? He's a bit slow turner and with bloodblade and blind spot sounds like a walk in the park

[@Zxzdg]

Final beat that bastard with an over powered magic build. Changed my build twice and got killed at least 70 to 100 times. I am fucking free 🤩😭. I would mind I beat most of the other bosses less than 5-15 try’s. I don’t know if I could beat him again.

[@LucieOne]

I KNEW there was going to be some Ice Spear in here! He is SO fun. It is so interesting seeing what works on him and what doesn't. I've had most success using dual God Skin Peelers with Raptors of the Mist to dodge that explosion thing in phase 2. If I use Blasphemous Blade and put Raptors on a dagger in my opposite hand, I can probably get 2 attacks on him at the beginning of stage 2 when he floats up?

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Nice! And maybe lol I don’t use that ash that often tbh.

[@LucieOne]

@@AverageGamerMatt I never ever used it until him. If you use it with a melee weapon, at the beginning of phase 2, you can just run up to him and unload while he's floating up. With the God Skin Peelers, they get 143 bleed, do some really good damage before he starts... all that crazy mess.

Not a lot of people are taking it into account that they PVP meta has NOT changed and give you level 200 builds that are silly strong. I think I will try bloodfiend's arm tonight just to see the end and then reload a PS5 cloud save and try some other builds. Appreciate it!

[@sethsolves5522]

I'm actually surprised most people here are in favor of the Blasphemous Blade over the Ice Spear

[@Lopingchief302]

The first time I beat consort radahn I used a scavenger curved sword bleed build with seppuku and radahn killed me in the end but my mimic came in and got the last hit before my death animation could finish

[@jessicahansen1288]

You should try the deflecting hardtear. Easier than parrying, more rewarding than rolling or shield blocking. Just really fun!

[@jeramiebender7056]

I've heard about this and wanted to try with Eporia but I can't seem to figure it out

[@jessicahansen1288]

@jeramiebender7056 If you put the tear in your mixed physick flask, and activate the flask, you should get a 5 minute buff during which you can deflect. Deflecting involves block within 0.2 seconds of an attack landing, kinda like parrying. Doing so should totally negate physical damage taken, and give you a damage buff for a short moment. Guard breaking off the deflect works very well. If you deflect successfully within 0.2 seconds of an attack landing (any attack btw, unlike parrying which is only some attacks), you should take no damage and notice a satisfying "pling" sound.

[@justice214]

Does blessings boon stack with golden vow?? And what blessing does it give exactly

[@Forozza]

Actually found this video very helpful. Despite beating him a few times I still do struggle and often find myself panic rolling mostly in second phase however now he seems like he’ll be a lot more manageable. Can’t count the amount of times I thought I’d be okay making space to heal for a bit and it ending up terribly.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Yeah he has windows after his combos, but they can be tight. If you learn them You’ll have just enough time to heal.
