Elden Ring - Using Magic to Cheese Elden Beast and Radagon

[@orzhovian1045]

Hands down the best guide to beating EB I have seen so far. Took just 2 attempts to do it with Pest Threads and the greatshield Summons 🙌🏻

[@DeezNuts-ig5kd]

Im ab to try it what level are you?

[@orzhovian1045]

@@DeezNuts-ig5kd 212-I think it’s still achievable at far lower levels than that with the summons, fortification incant and pest threads. I used comet azur for phase 1-that but only took 40 seconds

[@campowell6372]

Been trying for 6hrs to beat this asshole

[@Mick-hp4yg]

I did it at 150--60 int and 24 faith (65 and 29 with Marika's seal) Getting to the Elden Beast without using any heals makes the fight way less intimidating 👍

[@InviWoW]

Yep two attempts with this, 10h try before this guide

[@Stosh68]

So, this works. After getting my gear and spells setup, I went in for essentially a practice run. I messed up everything, took me three Comet Azur's to kill Radagaon, and three of my Greatshield summons' were already dead. But I went ahead with the Elden Beast phase. Last two summons died when EB was at 80%, but Lord's Divine Fortification was the key. I had Crimson Bubbletear as the 2nd half of my Physick, and between that and Lord's DF, even as I ran around like chicken with its head cut off, I still was able to do the last 80%. So basically no practice, first try, messed everything up and still was able to beat the bosses.

[@joeruder]

I did not realize how much the 'Lord's Divine fortification' was helpful for this! Thank you for the guide. Between this and a couple other helpful videos I finally got it done! Thumbs up and subscribed.

[@JerBuster77]

Thank you for this guide. I was struggling with Radagon/EB with various mage builds until I stumbled onto this video. Was able to finally bring down EB with this strategy in only three tries. Those GS Soldiers really are the best summons for this tactic. I tried Black Knife Tiche previously and she just couldn't aggro Radagon well enough.

[@ShortBetter]

I tried so many "cheese" techniques, but only yours worked perfectly!! These skeletons are undestructable

[@olgakostina6454]

I killed Radagon same way as you but didn't know how to beat damn Elden Beast. Your video really helped, like, really. Thank you!

[@TheRealKevinPleaseStandUp]

Thanks so much! was struggling for 2 days to get this boss as a pure int build. A tip if multiple soldiers survive Radagon phase, then Eldon Beast gets locked onto them. Run to the back and you can kill it super quick.

[@benbdesign]

Can confirm this still works :) even after the Cerulean Tear nerf. Thanks a bunch man!

[@Gloom-Grave]

That's not cheese... that's clever gameplay. I like the way you do it, give the elden beast what it deserves :D

[@356z]

I thought I turned to the darkside when I made a blood build for melenia. But I really turned to the darkside when I converted to magic for this boss. And I beat it first try with this build.

[@chrisstallard9888]

BTW for anyone confused, he got the name of the summon wrong, its greatshield soldiers, not skeletons

My bad lol. I'll add that to notes.

You just earned a subscriber bro, very good build, I got her in the 3rd try with this build. 🙌🙌🙌

[@redbunnytail9528]

Cool tips. Radagon was out very quickly. Didn't know he/she could be taken out that fast. Never woulda thought of pest threads for the elden beast, but pest threads 'track,' so great idea. I got fairly high intelligence, so gonna try this out, next time.

[@sandyman4069]

You can use Erdtree Heal to heal your summons too... including all the GreatShield Soldiers in one cast

[@TheDataWizard]

You are a good egg - I did not realize this and I now want to try this out.

[@WUZLE]

Great shield skeletons are my go-to on my mage because of their ability to hold bosses still to be blasted. I killed Radagon with Rock Sling and the EB with Meteorite of Astel, though it took about ten tries for the second part to work as you have to stun the EB in order to kill it in one cast.

Thank you finally able to beat them after this video. Great job.

[@jimjansen4628]

Comet azur is patched?? Huh how you did it?

[@TheDataWizard]

Thanks Chris Stallard for pointing out that I call the summons the "Greatshield Skeletons" instead of its correct name "Greatshield Soldiers." This was was recorded in V6.03 - after pest threads received its major nerf but before Comet Azur seemed to get nerfed a bit. Still works. Tested it on cooperator mode on June 17 2022 which if anything makes it harder due to the additional nerfs for cooperators. The key two ingredients are 1)Get Holy negation up and 2)Kill Radagon as fast as possible so you can endurance your way through EB using that holy negation. Greatshield soldiers help a lot with that second part no matter what.

[@AshBigs]

Still works. No longer really a cheese I guess though. Still took some timing on Elden beast. Thank you!! Edit: this was on July 30, 2022 with 1.05 patch

[@y_pator]

Thank you mate that helped a lot!

[@Thejivejaguar]

Idk why everyone agrees how great pest threads is it barely damages the elden beast for me as well. Must be using it wrong

[@TheDataWizard]

I was bad at making this video, but Elden Beast seems to take a lot more damage if you hit it in its butt. It also got nerfed like twice. If it isn't doing it for you, I'd try swapping out a physical damaging incantation or sorcery.

[@Thejivejaguar]

@@TheDataWizard thanks for the response! I think it may have just finally gotten nerfed too much? I have gotten pretty close to his butt and pest threads don’t seem to do 1/4 of the damage you get in your video. I’m gonna try a solid few more times with pest threads though so I’ll let you know if I’m just stupid and needed to figure it out!

[@thegoldenorder1240]

On NG+3 pest threads absolutely do not work anymore. Had to use duelist great axe lions claw at 99 str 99 dex. Barely even damages him.

[@j.c.5011]

It's just complete ridiculous. Pest threads don't work anymore to begin with. Latest patch removed all player favorable RNG. Elden Trash is getting worse and worse with every patch.

[@shimamadadi8933]

Just beat Radagon and Elden beast in first try using your guide, had to rebirth by Rennala to make it like your stats in particular faith. This is the most helpful and probably the most straight forward guide on youtube. For those how are struggling here is how I did it! On Radagon best Ash is Greatshield Soldier Ashes+10(max upgrade) as they just keep it in one place and you can easily do Comet Azur! On Elden Beast used Pest threads and they are awesome, make sure to do Lord Devine fortification as soon as you get to elden beast arena and apply it again in mid fight, do not worry about ash anymore and just get close to elden beast and do pest threads, try to doge few of his moves and you beat it easily! Level 160 Stats without talismans: Vig 42 Mind 30 End 17 Str 13 Dex 18 Int 69 Fai 39 Arc 20 Armaments: - Carian Glintblade Staff+24 - Golden order Seal+9 Talismans: - Marika Soreseal - Radagpm Soreseal - Radagon Icon - Erdtree Favor+1 Wondrous Physick Mix (Used it for Radagon to just melt it 10 seconds using Comet Azur!) - Cerulean Hidden Tear - Magic Shrouding Cracked Tear Head: Twinsage Glintstone Crown Chest: Crucible Axe Armor Arms: Godskin Apostle Bracelets Legs: Tree Semtinel Greaves

[@khristophertanase3324]

I thought that the Elden Beast got 2 health bars? I've had it down to 1/4, a couple times but I have always been under the impression that I still had another one, to go. Thanks for the tips!

Sorry it’s not working out.

[@JVue-rv4xe]

The first part works great, the Greatshield Soldiers will lock him down in phase 1, phase 2 is really shakey. I used Pest Threads but the range is very short and the Elden Beast keeps running away no matter how close you try to get to him he runs away every time.

[@JVue-rv4xe]

Alright, I found if you wear the Faithful's Canvas and Flock's Canvas you can get more damage out of Pest Threads. I accidentally killed Millicent so I had to kill Gowry to get the bell for Pest Threads and the Flock's Canvas. Works great now!

[@Vaedyx]

Not for me. They just die instantly

[@chemarin1]

Thank you very much, your method is really good, I have been able to kill the beast easily with pest threads, I wonder why that hurts so much the beast.

Thank you because of you I defeated elden beast, before last 5 bosses I knew that comet azur will be so useful in last game but I didn't realize how prest threads will be so helpful and affective with elden beast consider it as a magic solution even I used 28 faith. Lord's divine was fine but you have to raise faith to get benifet from it, in total your mix is the best with last boss it deserves to change your attributes for it Thanks

I can't get lords divine fortification any one advice another incantation for protection or prevent damage of the elden beast will be appreciated

[@TheDataWizard]

Off the top of my head, the Haligdrake Talisman and Pearldrake Talismans provide holy defense. You're using up talisman slots to make this work, but this is probably your best non-magic way of boosting holy. Your summons will probably die really quickly in Elden Beast fight but you should be able to make it work.

[@tanahmeng]

Best guide in 1.04

[@Pocky-O-The-Rock-Tiger]

Does anyone know what the 4th talisman is? I would be very grateful if someone knew.

Great-Jars Arsenal. Probably unnecessary for this fight but I like my fast rolls and it makes it easier to get encumbrance down to light for speed rolls. Sorry for the slow response! Didn’t realize people were still watching this even a year later!

What’s your armor set it’s dope

[@TheDataWizard]

Black knife set for the clothes, Alberich hat for the hat. Not the most practical gear set but as you mentioned it looks dope and gives a bit of poise for PVP in case if I get ganked with a light attack. Won't stop much for anything more than light attacks, so getting good at rolls is helpful. If get endurance to 20-30 and use talismans, you can get it down to light build for speed rolls.

[@Galaka100]

Don’t you need to beat Melania to get Lord‘s Divine Fortification? What strategy did you use for that?

she is really not that bad linoels armor, a buckler, a bleed weapon with fast attacks, and stay aggressive. if you add a mimic its almost cheese.

[@SpeedCuber2016]

What is your other tear in the physick? I’m the same level at the moment, but I’m not doing nearly enough damage compared to the video.

[@TheDataWizard]

I'm not sure - usually I pair everything with Opaline so I get that free damage hit, but there's a chance I paired it with Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear that'd give +20% damage for magic for 15 seconds. That'd only help with Radagon though - it'd run out by Elden Beast. More significantly, I had Golden Order Seal +10 and Carian Regal Scepter +9 - that'll be more significant for damage output. There's a few other things you can do to kick up damage output from there.

@@TheDataWizard okay! It looks like ill have to find that staff then. It seems to be the only one i don’t have at the moment

@@SpeedCuber2016 a good alternative if you have it is the prince of deaths staff which scales well to FAI and INT. My build skewed INT so Regal was better but the damage gap between the two isn’t too different

how do you deal that much dmg to radagan? I got 99 int and my staff to +25 and still need at least 3 blasts of comet azure (I do only have 35 Mind not 40 but still that should be THAT big a difference)

[@TheDataWizard]

What staff you're using? The scaling on the staff matters a lot. I'm using Regal Staff +9 for sorcery and Golden Order Seal +10. Regal Staff has pretty bonkers INT scaling which helps a lot. The Death staff +25 works ok, but you get reduced returns at higher int.

@@TheDataWizard I am using the staff I started with as astrologer cause it seems to have the best sorcery scaling and the others only seem to boost one type of spells where I never know which spells count, it does have an S int scaling

@@ashleycrow8867 That’s a very ok staff. You can make it work but it’s not gonna have the same damage potential as about half of the staffs in the game. The others either scale even faster with int or scale well with other stats. I recommend playing around a bit with others.

The level in the video shows 158, but your stats are way way above that. How did you do that? Was it special armor or something?

[@TheDataWizard]

My talismans. The soreseal talismans add +5 to a set of stats (radagon=physical, marika=magic) that when put on basically give you 20 to 40 bonus levels at a steep cost of taking a lot of extra damage. And it sucks against Radagon if he’s able to connect an attack. But if you kill him quickly? Not a problem. And Elden Beast is mostly an endurance test as long as you can absorb holy attacks.

[@MisterJinKC]

@@TheDataWizard Ah that explains it. I hadn't figured on multiple soreseals. I'm so used to only seeing one used. Thanks for the quick reply!

Marikas Soreseal + Godricks Great Rune = 60 points of total stat boosts albeit they’re distributed across several stats.

[@JaymeSplendid]

Maybe look at when the video was uploaded vs when the patch was released. Don't forget that some seals are better than others and Incantations scale depending on seals, talismans, activating great runes etc. Some seals are only great for dragon based Incantations etc. I only say this because I made this very mistake before and after switching things around, adding stones to seals etc then did I notice a HUGE difference in DMG output. But yeah, I feel your frustration man.

[@Saab79Turbo]

I haven't used any magic, I don't have a lot of intellect. Last night after so many tries, I just killed him. Normal, without any tricks, cheese, just plain old dodging, getting behind him, hitting, dodging again etc. Oh what i did use is the incantation that protects from holy damage, thats the only thing I used. Even my mimic made it to the end of the fight, pure skill if I may say so myself. I kept on dodging and hitting patiently. If I may give an advice, I kept the aggro from the elden beast, cause the mimic doesn't dodge the magic attacks feom the beast, so he got squashed a lot, so i made sure the beast kept on attacking me, and when he didn't, I made sure to hit him asap on his cracked belly to get the extra dps. Also, always dodge towards Radagon when he does his moves with his hammer, that way he misses a lot and you get a window to attack him. Anyways, you really need luck as well, lots of it, it is not a very easy fight imho.

​@@lastxtrick2033 look at guides on here that show easy melee kill on this dude. Some weapons like rocking two Magma blades, or using the L2 of Blasphemous Blade, dual Hoslow's Blood Whip with Bloodhound Step ash or Rivers Of Blood (great to switch to vs Elden Beast once you kill Radagon spamming L2 with Blasphemous blade) are all great options along with either Mimic summons or Tiche summon.
