FYI the factor for spawning near the entrance in phase 2 is a bug that occurs with every phase transition in Elden Ring. It happens when you enter the transition cutscene with a riposte.

[@eekitarkkonen6249]

Yes, i have noticed it in Maliketh. I always avoid riposting Beast clergyman to phase transition because it messes up the script for phase 2.

[@Pokerface-jpg]

It’s when you crit Radahn, if you don’t crit him going into second phase he spawns like normal

[@jackmcinnis2356]

It's actually a mechanic of the boss based off of how quickly you're finishing phase 1. I was just using Great stars with prayerful strike without any critical hits and it would only put him far away if I got his first phase down quickly. It allows you to run him down in the second phase and continue an aggressive playstyle rather than having to run away and out of the aoe attack when he's right in front of you.

[@DrLamHuynhDuc]

[@ebeaudoin8644]

I did a parry build vs rhadan, so I ended up getting him into his second phase with ripostes enough that I figured out that that's what changed the positioning. If you get him into phase 2 with a normal attack, you spawn in front of him. If you got him into phase two with a riposte, you spawn where you did the riposte.

[@oldiemcfee]

Yeah I hate that annoying quirk because I am doing everything off muscle memory and I hate the confusion there because his opener requires immediate action to get out of.

It’s the first time I’ve seen such a comprehensive and understandable boss guide for this juggernaut of a boss. Your explanations are concise and video has great general quality. I really appreciate the advice.

[@gragalakaisel1477]

If anyone struggling with phase 2 but pretty much downloaded phase 1, He only mentioned radahn do follow ups after echoes. What he didn't mention was what are the follow ups radahn does after the echo or clone or hologram whatever. The Follow ups are just the same combos or combo enders he does. Like after the echoes of the meteor attack. he does the huge light explosion combo ender where your biggest source of damage like he said in the video. So next time you dodge the echoes. don't get excited too much about the follow ups. those follow ups are the same attacks you've already seen before.

[@BlurkFromUtterSpace]

First time I saw the rememberance it looked like Radahn's arms and weapons were Miquella's legs and now I can never unsee it

[@CyberJedi1]

You forgot to mention the most difficult attack to dodge, in P2, if you get hit by the vacuum pull magic attack, he will start an overhead echo attack that explodes in the end that I still haven't found a way to dodge and it deals massive damage.

[@TheHeroBoyNamedFin]

Yeah honestly, if you get hit by the vacuum in p2, I had no clue how to avoid the follow up attacks, but you can dodge the pull in same as phase one, so with enough practice it's not an issue

[@rpgidiot]

You dodge it the same way you dodge it in phase one, but that wasn’t covered well in this video. If you get pulled in, immediately run away from him and then jump away as he slams down. Do it right and you take zero damage (aside from the pull you got hit by). In phase two, it’s the same. I often get chipped by an afterimage, but you just roll his actual slam then run away and jump just like the first gravity slam.

[@jerna4951]

The best way to avoid this is to run and jump for each of the attacks. The whack a mole attack after the first gravity vortex can be out ran with a run and jump for this version only. Doesn't work for the other whack a mole versions though.

[@zornstein_-9472]

Best way to avoid it is to not miss the dodge on the grav pull, and if you get pulled just put your controller down and sigh

[@chaincat33]

you dodge the first gravity blades same as phase 1, just spam roll away. Then he jumps up, you need to dodge roll the echoes. Once he actually lands, don't panic roll, he delays the gravity blades. If you just run and roll right as he swings, you should be able to spam roll through it like phase 1

[@Dowell]

really good stuff, I would add that at 5:37 you could run backward instead of the right. If you created enough distance by running after the rocks each of the 4 projections are going to miss

Running backwards is actually a guaranteed dodge for that. You should only run right if you do have enough distance to the point where the projections won’t reach you.

​@@zaynthemaneIt's not guaranteed. His version is better because it works no matter if the boss is close to you or far

Unfortunately its not guaranteed, this boss is extremely incosistent ​@@zaynthemane

[@sarpilgaz8037]

Spectacular guide, I also as a average player figured a lot of these out by copius amount of trial and error. Another person has already mentioned this but for the rock throw attack in phase 2, you can simply create a large distance between you and the boss. You still need to run either left or right to avoid the rocks but the after-images will miss completely. Here count: "1, 2, 3, 4, dodge" and dodge once more for the aftershock. This is the same big window as "the most punishable move" presented in the video. Punish windows of course depend on the speed of your weapon but most of the time you can get a single attack off after: grab, lions claw, a 2-hit combo where the second double sword slash is delayed, and another melee combo that wasnt mentioned in the video. In the second phase, other than the circle, try to always close the gap and stay close. Some of his distance attack are simply too punishing imo if you get them wrong. Sure the gravity divebomb is easy but most other, including the jump-afterimage one, are hard. There aren't many ways he opens a gap anyway, The 6-hit after image slash opens a gap, the starfall opens a gap and thats pretty much it. The left-right slash into x cross attack is complete bs, you are either frame perfect or get hit. Phase 1 is no problem but in phase 2 light aftershocks hit you also. They also mess up your roll timing so its a snowball effect really. Best advice there is to stay topped off on health to avoid instakills when you eventually get caught. Fun fact: I think(?) the light nuke is actually dodgeable. Out of a shit ton of tries I managed to I-frame it twice with jumps, but never try this at home kids lol. Thats all I had to say on top of the video, good luck everybody.

[@xOkami79x]

Best guide I've seen. All these other guides tell you how to do it, but their footage is of them getting hit or bodied by near everything they're telling you how to dodge.

I still believe malenia is more difficult on first run no summons and at the appropriate level. But since there is no way in being overlevelled for this boss fight due to the dlc levelling system then I believe this fight accommodating for everything then he’s more difficult but not because of moveset but because of BS similar to bed of chaos BS

Worth noting that when running away from the meteor attack he does, you need to run towards the Gate of Divinity that's opposite the fog door. If you run in the general direction of the fog door, you are very likely to get hit, but the shockwave doesn't seem to extend far enough towards the opposite end of the arena, making that the safest option

Just wanna add on, its possible to dodge his left right swipe combo by using blind spot on the first attack, which dodges it, moves you out of range on the 2nd attack and recovers in time to let you dodge the third just in case some of yall are trying this with backhand blades

[@kregman6928]

it still lags the game. even when he does the big gravitational pull in, where he crosses his swords. frames drop by half every time without fail.

[@nighthawk8069]

At the start of phase 2 you can completely avoid the light pillars that persist out of the danger zone of the giant aoe attack. Once out of the danger area start sprinting in a small circle and dont stop, this causes the beams to appear around you instead of on top of you. They seem coded to spawn where youre going or right on you if you stand still.

[@hmspolio]

This is a great video: well explained, with clear examples and matched visuals. You aim this well at the average player, and don't predicate any of it on build-specific strategies. Very welcome and appreciated.

[@smokey0111]

Personally I think one of his melee combos deserves way more attention - the one where he starts with the right horizontal slash, followed up by either the left slash or the delayed twin slash. The first option requires an immediate roll, but if you do that and the delayed slash comes instead, you'll probably get roll catched. Alternatively if you wait to see what Radahn does, you may be too late to evade the left slash. This combo becomes especially lethal in phase 2 if you get punished by the right slash, then the light pulse stuns you, and you get chunked by the left slash. Maybe it's because I'm "old", but I have waaay more trouble with this move than the 1-2 cross slash, because at least the latter doesn't hit you for that much and the cross-slash is avoidable.

[@up-set1451]

I fought this guy for over 8 hours before I resorted to poking him from behind a shield with the antspur rapier, wearing full bull-goats with verdigris talisman (Yes, I was fat rolling). I have not resorted to cheese like this since my first playthrough of Dark Souls back in 2013. My pride is tarnished, but I may yet redeem myself thanks to this video.

[@gallupswon]

Easily the best video I’ve seen. You make it sound really possible for an average player to succeed. Makes me almost want to fight him normally. 😂

[@kregman6928]

man, I love the first phase of the boss so much (besides that cross attack with the wave, they HAVE to remove that attack from his kit or at least make it come out slightly slower) but the second phase absolutely ruins the fight for me entirely, I already play the game on less than 60fps and the second he starts all that light stuff, I literally cannot see anything ON TOP of being a little hard of seeing. and god FORBID he does that wave attack in second phase because its instadeath every single time without fail for me.

[@220iqtactician4]

dude my fps drops so much because of the attacks where he sends multiple clones of himself to the point that the game stutters and i insta die

[@gregoire6350]

I just managed to kill him after 200 tries and I can say, this guide is 100% accurate, your really perfectly describe every pattern

[@mrfirestar9604]

8 hours and 30 minutes it took me, dual handed blood backhand blades, used bloodhound step with the fp restoring talisman is god send…wish I had this back then, survived on 31 hp from 1975, bleed proc finished him That one two cross swipe and phase 2 can go die in a fire, remove the light beams and it would make this fight so much better, I mean it fails as a boss, it punishes you if you roll backwards but you need to lock on to see his attacks! Your amazing man

[@JJ-jj8vf]

Thanks to your wisdom and guidance, the kindly miquella and his consort has been slain. My humblest thanks.

[@Carmel3141]

Hey man! Just wanted to let you know i really appreciate the video. I'm super stubborn and I don't want to cheese him. Just needed some advice. Best boss guide video I've seen brother. Thanks! Hope you keep making vids. Subbed 🤞

[@soundax4382]

11:02 pretty much sums up my reaction to seeing this video. Well done!

[@Patoll3461]

For the grab attack in phase 2: if he gets you, you wont take any damage but a light will appear above your head, if you get then grabbed again you will die, you can get rid of the light/effect by using miquellas great rune

[@w4tch0ut10]

Exactly what I have been looking for! 🎉 A normal kill video of neither a godlike player, nor an exploiter/Pokémon player. Thanks 😊

[@w4tch0ut10]

Thank you! This video greatly helped me to better understand his second phase and finally beat him 🎉 Took me about 100 tries, nonetheless, but I'm glad I didn't have to cheese/summon him 😊

[@vendel8007]

This was so helpful! Beat him just now on my 109th try and it would most certainly have take waaaay longer without this video

[@lourencopopp3444]

Great video! I learned phase 1, but i just relied on my shield for many moves on phase 2. Blocking and parrying his overhand slash was my strategy.

[@callumhits1]

One other thing about the fight, it doesn’t matter how overpowered your build is. You and Redahn are in a cage match, you either fight him close up until your knuckles are bloody and you’re seeing stars or you get impaled

[@DaredevilDino]

Damn, even though I killed him using a shield and a thrusting sword, this guide is giving me confidence to fight him straight up again

[@flux3636]

This is the best guide I have watched I’ll be sure to use all the tips

[@TheHeroBoyNamedFin]

Good luck!

[@flux3636]

@@TheHeroBoyNamedFin I was able to kill him no summons so thank you for the guide those after image attacks were much easier to dodge

[@JeremyDadHat]

Still trying to beat him myself and this guide gave me hope. Subbed!

[@DzikiQuentinus]

Thanks for the guide, I have mastered the first phase to perfection, but in the case of the second one I die instantly and I had no way to practice it. Best guide so far, thank you

[@graysonbaker9053]

i was struggling bad on this boss and like u i couldnt find a guide. i ended up beating him yesterday w the bloody helice, preciate the guide ik its finna help alot of ppl

[@TheHeroBoyNamedFin]

Congrats! Also Bloody helice is my favorite weapon, went through most of the dlc with it

[@Bob-jh6xt]

Really nice guide! Although there are a few things I would like to add You'll only spawn far away at the start of phase 2 if he took the last damage from a riposte He has another clone attack in phase 2 where he flies up and comes down multiple times but slamming with both his swords, and on the last one, he lands (dealing no damage) then delays his attack, which is the same as that spinny rock spike thing that goes around him most of the time after his yell pull, so just spam roll, or run, away. On the "phase 1 most punishable combo", he can also do a different attack after the first hit in the combo, where it's 2 hits with the same sword that can both be rolled normally, but only really fast weapons, like straight swords or thrusting swords will be able to reliably punish after this. Also, a lot of weapons with guard counters that crouch you down (greatswords, greataxes, etc.) can be really good on that one attack where he spins around attacking with both swords, as if you use the deflecting hardtear (dropped from the first furnace golem after the scorched ruins) to perfect block the attack right before where he can sometimes do the follow up, then do the guard counter. On said weapons, you will crouch down enough to avoid the follow up with the guard counter, and can even get in more attacks after. I really hope this help. coming from someone who no hit Malenia with a +24 banished knight halberd on an unoptimized build (while being summoned for 2 people so she had double health), this guy is the fromsoft equivalent to sticking a toothpick under your toenail and kicking a wall.

[@Lzfh455]

With that opening attack in phase 2 when you run out of the circle you can stand completely still to not get hit by any lightning

[@increase9896]

Brilliant breakdown for us solo players that aren’t god gamers or cheese builders. It’s perfect

[@Herminus_II]

Thanks for the guide bud. Had a hell of a time trying to piece together Phase II. That blinding light made it exceptionally difficult to study, so I opted for the “Cole’s Notes” if you know what I mean. 👍🏻

[@Brother_James]

Just cleared this like 5H ago after banging my head against it for 2 days lmao I needed you! Still watching this though because I'll have to fight him again eventually and I'm far from perfect 😭 thank you for this!

[@Adoriaclub47]

This helped me so much, thank you! I finally did it! Ngl however even if you know what to do, the timing and movement is really tough, I did it with mimic and shield, but it was super helpful to have an idea what to do. My problem before was that I went to far away to heal but only took more damage moving away...

[@dreamo714]

Thank you a lot ! I like this boss, but hes very hard and i didn’t want to cheese him. A lot of people seems to hate him because of the difficulty so they tend to cheese him and that’s kinda disappointing. This guide is really perfect thank you :)

[@CrimsonPhoenixBen]

Just spent hours learning to beat this guy without any cheese tonight, had to do a lot of trial and error. Then this video shows up in my recommended! Wish I saw it eaelier ha ha, great job making this guide!

[@jazzissick4152]

Thank you so much this is exactly what I needed. Just beat him and feel amazing! Thanks again!

[@glencairngamer]

As someone with a small channel like yours I know what it feels like to get comments like “you deserve more subs”. But you really do. This was an incredibly well explained and thought out guide with no filler. Great video man I’m gonna try and kill Radahn tonight 🤞

[@The.Reilly]

And I thought me beating this boss with the Guts Greatsword was impressive, this guy did it with a single straight sword. Bravo!👏

[@user-ni7qv1nd8o]

This is probably what you wanted to hear but doing it with a GS is alot more impressive than a straight sword.

[@lucasandrade380]

I managed to kill him with the guts sword with bleeding affinity and the lion's claw war ash and it was quite difficult because he doesn't have much opening for heavy weapons.

[@LoseCTRL61]

Thank you for making this. I’ve died to this man countless times, I have phase 1 down really well but phase 2 feels almost impossible. It’s absurdly hard, I don’t know how anyone does it hitless it feels impossible to me

[@ChristFollower_777]

Ine big thing I noticed during phase 2, is I often would get hit by the holy attacks after Radahn's attacks and didn't know why, but I've noticed that when I fought on the flatter part of the arena, so closer to the entrance I wouldn't get hit, and I realized teh bumps on the other side of the arena would make the holy attacks stop closer for some reason, so I would get hit anyway. Also the small bumps can make you miss or even Radahn can miss, and sometimes I get stuck on some random bump when running away from his big aAOE spell.

[@TheHeroBoyNamedFin]

That's a good callout, I did not notice this

[@ChristFollower_777]

@@TheHeroBoyNamedFin Yeah, it happened more often, getting hit, or like sometimes I or Radahn would miss attacks, even the shockwave from his stomp would miss me, it's very wonky

[@kyletrout3828]

I'm going to watch this 10 times. Hopefully then my brain will stop going into full panic mode in Phase 2 where I'm rolling like an idiot and I know I'm being an idiot but I can't stop lol
