No it's weak. Keep telling yourself it's "fair". The final boss that's the hardest ever is meant to be near impossible to dodge. It's not always meant to just have an easy Window for attack so every Fred and Becky can get thru it. This loses its fire. Anyone who thinks they're good beating him onwards will always be weaker. They should have kept him the damn same.

Love the cross slash change and reduced flashback on the phase two light attacks but I feel like most of the slow downs and recovery windows are a bit too overtuned currently. Pre-patch Radahn was an aggressive motherfucker that jumped on you the moment you entered the room, constantly whipping out combos that kept you on your toes but now things just feel off. There's an odd moment where he just stands still after certain attacks not doing anything and it doesn't sit right with me. But oh well, only time will tell whether or not these changes were good. I AM enjoying the fight a lot more now that I don't have to constantly be on edge for the cross slash, which makes no hit fights actually fun.

[@duvetboa]

It's what the souls vets wanted, for Elden Ring bosses to T Pose after every attack to clearly telegraph openings instead of getting creative and finding your openings. Personally even as a Colossal weapon user I felt like his openings were fine already, I think he just needed his cross clash tweaked and some visual fixes.

And what's everyone's problem with sacrificing difficulty for fun? Slave knight Gael is not a very hard boss but still universally loved because he's fun to fight.

I'm happy about the cross slash change, my pc appreciates the orbital laser lighting change, bloodflame change I guess is fine, but the rest to me seem like downgrades. I don't like the clone attack being changed at all, him continuing the combo once he landed added to it. Oh well, now I can no damage him with midroll without having to hug his shoulder anymore at least.

[@reecejones2994]

There's so much I love about this. He has good openings now for heavy attack but it doesn't feel forced. It gives him an edgy little pose after and love it. What's good though is he still snaps into a fast combo so still feels aggressive. The new hitboxes are great especially at 2:13, on the post version both those swipes would've hit him and done a metric tonn. The new double slash feels great to dodge now and you aren't required to do the super awkward hug his right knee Strat the entire fight. And man Phase 2 is just a spectacle. It still feels like your fighting an agreesive god learning his new power and the AOE and x5 clone slams are still nice to look at, cleaner to dodge but still difficult if you don't know how. This boss has claimed straight into S tier for me. He probably isnt the hardest boss ever now but is still in the top 5 in terms of difficulty (as if the other 4 aren't harder due to artificial difficulty). Hey, slave Knight Gael isnt the hardest and everyone loves him. Well done From soft

I kept there for, literally, 10 hours straight, trying to help as many players as I could, and honestly wouldn't surprise me if I played with 100+ players. Not a single host beat this boss. Not one survived to the end. I can count with my fingers how many hosts reached his meteor attack. Honestly, it pretty much deserved this nerf.

@@upsideproductions2 yea, now im def just calling BS lol. Dancing lion is super easy. You just hug him and half his attacks whiff, and he has pretty low HP too, and his damage or aggression arent even that high. You can just wail on dancing lion up close and he'll just let you. Meanwhile even without cross slash, Radan still hits much harder, has way less down time for openings, and has extremely punishing moves if you try to get away. he punishes heals significantly harder, and the AOEs on all his attacks are a lot harder to dodge than anything Dancing Lion has by a mile. Like, what are you even getting hit by of dancing lion? his breath attack doesnt kill and you have plenty of time to heal, and his chomp or close range moves are pretty easy to dodge. Radahn also has significantly more health, posture, and faster posture regen. Radahn also has a bunch of other hard to dodge moves, like his gravity pull combo, which is still insanely hard to dodge properly if you get pulled in, or his one wild swing into the big AOE combo which can be pretty tricky to dodge as well. Again, way harder than anything lion has. Like there is zero world where Dancing lion is harder than radan. I first tied that boss both times I fought him, at like scadu 3 too, so it wasnt even over leveled. Even if you remove the cross slash, Radahn is significantly harder. Messmer and Bayle are the only two bosses anywhere close to as hard as radahn is. Now, at least Bayle and Messmer are both actually hard. I still think radahn is easily harder, but zero shot dancing lion is hard. Dancing lion isnt even harder than mogh.

I'm beginning to think an easy mode at this point would be the lesser of evils so that casuals play that way and classic difficulty doesn't get nerfs. But they'd still be pissed off cause they want to feel special without gitting good so they want to urge developers to let everyone wins without being on their face. Very bitter about all the situation

It was absolutely needed. Numerous players have fought him in RL1 no hit and would agree with me. And I say that as a fan of the boss.

​@@riccardobarone384 What about all the souls vets and no hit runners that said cross slash was bullshit? I guess they need to "git gud" too.

They really massacred this boss man 💔 shit looks like slow motion now. I fought him 6000+ times for other people over the past couple months so for these nerfs to come now is a bit sad. Those recovery time changes make the fight look incredibly easy from my perspective. I get that it’s objectively better now-the cross slash was a shitty frame-trap that forced you to fight in a specific way-but i thought it was a lot of fun still (obviously). I’ll test it myself later but the fight looks like it’s in 0.75x speed now lol

[@fladiir6956]

yeah cause you fighted it for thousands of hours and you get used to the speed, but that wasn't a lot of fun at all. I felt the fight as a pokemon battle where the boss plays 18 turns and then i play 1 turn

[@ps4lm10]

I think they should've kept the same aggressiveness, i really liked how fast radhan was here in this boss fight despite being a giant beefy dude

[@launcelotdulake8075]

I spent two weeks learning to consistently deflect the "bullshit" double-slash, and eventually it became second nature. I did not ask for this nerf. Radahn was fine.

[@MrSignman65]

If you need a specific playstyle to beat a boss consistently, it's a bad RPG (you know what the first two letters of that acronym are, right?)

[@MooManDude]

new openings were unnecessary, and some of the animations look a little wonky but other than that, it seems peak

[@kelphiuspolluxeldanimus6426]

Lame. Now i cant refight this version. Happy i at least beat him solo with a vid to prove it.

[@fladiir6956]

happy you have the proof to show to the tribunal of elite gamers, worried they would leave you out of the society without it

@maximany9506 I'm not the one who changed it. I WISH there was a way I could get others to fight the previous version. Elden Ring and dark souls is a HARD game let's be real. Of course I want all those worthy to get thru it to get to fight the legit thing. (I'm not self praising myself when I say that) I'm just saying I want others to also get that same satisfaction thru perseverance that I got.

these changes are horrible, i never liked radahn but this is a slaughter

[@TremorXs]

It is wht it is. Once a game gets too populer that it attracts your average casual player. Crying will be heard and game devs will resort to damage control.
