[@SomeWheats]

It's so cool how Radahn teleports around and mixes attacks with his swords, bow and gravity magic.

[@trustmeits610pm2]

I mean it makes sense. The guy was the whole package. A huge strong warrior, a brilliant wizard, and an eagle-eyed archer. A paragon. When the player fights him, he's a brutish mindless zombie of himself who only acts on aggressive instinct... but in life Radahn must have been cunning and a master of strategy.

[@anonisnoone6125]

I really wish the actual fight would've been this chaotic. It's honestly kina disappointing that the fight wasn't harder and that he didn't he have more movesets like his teleportation.

[@thiscommonsinkt3367]

​@@trustmeits610pm2 It's also theorized that, before the shattering, Radahn and his Armies would tirelessly eliminate dragons or things the same size as those around Caelid. This is supported by the fact how the Redmane Knights would mostly utilize weapon arts like Giant Hunt and Radahn's Rain when going against you even though these skills would be of better use against much larger targets. So yeah. Guy was just an unstoppable powerhouse in his prime.

[@Crocopotamus]

I hope Fromsoft sees this and learns that it's a good idea to move the camera back when fighting big bosses. This looks fantastic.

[@RashFever26]

The game even has camera parameters for every enemy in LockCamParam, but they're barely ever used. It's a mystery why From insists on placing the camera close to you when you fight big bosses, forcing you to stare at their ankles the entire time.

[@yellowsaurus4895]

Sekiro actually did a pretty good job of this, but they couldn't take any cues from it for ER because they were being "developed concurrently" (even though they came out 3 years apart (i call bs))

[@seligaprv8669]

damn I just realized, you‘re right this looks fantastic

[@MattRV-t6q]

I always think this when playing bloodborne. Sometimes the camera pans out a ton if your view is obscured by the beast or environment, and I think it looked great

[@humonchronos9048]

noticed it at the Fire Giant, when locked on you're a bit farther out (though still not enough). Shame it is not properly utilized

[@LuisSanchez-fj6dt]

At first I was thinking: “ok, just a mod with two healthbars and some variation in the moves” The you killed leonard and I was like “ok, there come the meteor… WAIT WHAT!? ASTEL!?” And then “WTF RAHDAN?!?!?”

[@SaHaRaSquad]

Fun fact: This Astel comet animation actually exists in the game files but is never used. It's speculated that the hail of comets triggered by Radahn's death originally also sent down Astel as the final phase in the Radahn fight but was cut before release.

[@LuisSanchez-fj6dt]

@SaHaRaSquad i heard a bit about that but seeing it in action is impressive. Anyways im glad they cut astel as the final phase, it would have been a nightmare specially with pre patch Rahdan

[@anonisnoone6125]

@@SaHaRaSquad Y would they cut that? That's so cool.

[@anonisnoone6125]

@@LuisSanchez-fj6dtPeople really need to stop with this pre patch Radahn bullshit. He was never nerfed. They just fixed his hitboxes.

[@WaylayBrigade]

​@awhellnah__ a nerf is tweaking the stats, in essence their numbers. What the fix did, and it was a fix, was make his weapons' hitboxes actually accurate instead of much larger than they would appear. His damage, health, and everything else is still the same, but now his attacks actually reflect their animations instead of going out much further.

[@elprimo8639]

Counter argument, Leonard without his own HP bar shows how much of a beast he is to share hit points with a Demi-god, and no matter how the fight goes they both fight their hardest until the very end where they go out together like best friends should.

[@luka188]

I like to think that Radahn uses his gravity magic to protect Leonard, and his health bar decreasing while you hit Leonard to represent Radahn spending his power, as if slowly the energy within his soul is depleting as the fight goes on, and finally they both rest as their last strength is exhausted, their essence scattering into nothingness. I feel this is supported by the fact the player only obtains a memory of Radahn, rather than a soul, as if his whole essence is gone after you defeat him (same with all the bosses you fight).

[@amn.daniel]

radahn one shotting astel just to show dominance lmao

[@GoldenOrderBS]

Originally, through deep dives of the files, people found that it was likely planned for Astel to replace Radahn in his second phase. As if the Fallingstar beasts were the reason he was holding back the stars.

[@benthede2531]

The added special effects and attacks are cool, like his weapon buff and the meteor storm at the end, and I like the introduction of Astel midway through the fight, but I’m pretty sure it’s not “lore accurate” that he can just fucking teleport. He knows gravity magic. He’s not some sort of cosmic sorcerer that jumps through wormholes all day. It’s just a workaround for him not having a walking animation. Even so, it still looks sick. Wish he was harder in the vanilla game

[@nexuswolf780]

Astel is also a creature using gravity magic and uses the same teleport. Alabaster Lord also use "black holes" to send meteors through, and Radahn learned from one so it definitely isnt lore inaccurate.
