Beat him through parrying too! Kinda hilarious how much of a hard counter parrying is for this boss.

[@real_simbert]

True. I could not believe my eyes as I discovered that 😂

[@ansar4454]

parrying got me thru this boss. every other build i tried, felt like i was doing zero damage

[@real_simbert]

Personally I tried to do a normal run first and did it up 50% HP. His second phase was hard. So I went to parry the whole fight. During that I somehow managed to learn some of his attacks and how to dodge them. That is pretty funny for me 😅

[@tooru-kun4178]

i parried him too to oblivion because the biggest problem of radahn second phade is that you Can't see anything because of the ray of light so bloccking his combos is fantastic

[@real_simbert]

Yes. But seems you can get used of it after a pretty while.

[@cornthdl]

This is exactly how much victory went as well. Congrats! Parry the world!!!

[@FoggyTrain]

incredible work bro. gonna try using this to help my friend through lol

[@creativenickname1]

Wow its crazy how parrying stops the pillars of light that come with his attacks in phase 2 completely

[@real_simbert]

Good that parry kinda block hits as well 😅

[@Filler382]

Not even using buckler. Impressive.

[@real_simbert]

Funny story: I know it is better so equipped it with my first attempts, failed pretty much, went to another shield and did better parry instantly somehow. 😅😂 That’s why I was not using buckler.

[@niBBunn]

Carian retaliation has slightly better parry frames than a buckler

[@StephenrHamilton]

@@real_simbert this is interesting. I had the opposite where I normally use carian retaliation because it is the better parry (at least prior to 1.12 it had 20% more active frames, I don't know what the new measurements are as they changed some of the parries). The buckler parry hitbox is higher up so I found it helped a lot with Radahn in particular because he is so much taller than you are and tends to be swinging down at you.

[@real_simbert]

@@StephenrHamilton I got confused in general about radahn as when you fight him first in radahn festival he is not able to be parried when I am correct and in the dlc you can parry him.

[@LayDownAndRot]

@@real_simbert He's bigger in his old body, that's why.

[@DragonHalo3D]

beat him as well with parry and misericorde. very nice win!

[@JustaSmilingHedgehog]

I really wish we had ANY indicator what you can and cannot parry, it's so counter intuitive.

[@real_simbert]

I feel like any type of indicator sounds good but I would start to hate it if I see a icon pop up for example which tells me „oh you can parry that“ 😅

[@JustaSmilingHedgehog]

@@real_simbert Honestly the entire combat design of the souls games needs an overhaul, Sekiro showed how fun and fast a dynamic skill based system can be. It's still servicable but Elden Ring has shown how thin we are stretching it.

[@real_simbert]

@@JustaSmilingHedgehog nah I am completely fine with that. In fact I started with Sekiro and changed to Elden Ring later. Must say I had much more fun with Elden Ring later. Maybe because Elden Ring has more content 😅

[@kaz7886]

I wish not. Sekiro was it's thing. It's not good or bad game design, it's simply different. And for unparryable attacks in sekiro you still unlocked ways to counter some of them with skills. In souls-like the fun is trying to actually find out what is parryable (at least for me) And yes, i would consider it handholding if the game told you.

[@StephenrHamilton]

Luckily with this boss almost anything that clangs when you try to parry, can be parried. At least so long as his feet are on the ground. Like the two sword sweep you see him dodge away from at the very start can be parried, but the timing is harder than it seems. Elden Ring is definitely weird with its parries though. My least favourite is when enemies do swings through the ground and you can't parry them if you are standing in the wrong place because it goes under the parry hitbox (this is where golden parry can be great though).

[@LayDownAndRot]

This fight was BRUTAL. Beat him with bleed katanas and heavy armor. And summoned Mimic Tear when he did the orbital nuke thing. Literally the first and only time I've ever summoned for a boss .

[@real_simbert]

@@LayDownAndRot heard there is a new bleed weapon which hits instantly after one heavy attack. Bleed can be insane against him as well 👍🏻

[@abishekvrs8818]

That was very good bro

[@Dale_Nightking]

You are joking me. I went online to figure out how to beat him cause second phase is just oppressive, with buffs and resistances, and couldnt beat him so i gave up and uninstalled. But parrying? Oh we're back in it bois. Thank you for showing me this brother! Im gonna go kick a God's teeth in now!

[@real_simbert]

He is weak to holy. Another tip I discovered during my tests before beating him. Even in second phase (but not that much that in first phase)

[@gabrielaguilar7606]

No fn way… you can parry him… just wow, I’m literally going beat this guy tomorrow.

[@real_simbert]

You literally mirrors my feelings after I saw it from another one as well. 😂

Kinda the same with Sekiro. You play the game for many many hours just to learn how to deflection perfectly and be aggressive at the same time.

[@Condemned2Hell]

Great job, but why does the audio sound like it was recorded underwater?

[@real_simbert]

I don’t know? So I am not familiar with editing or recording in general. I use medal recording software and just did the general settings to record something. What I noticed is that my game audio is pretty loud.

[@The_All_Fatter]

2:02 Had to check the HP

[@xymos7807]

Because ofcourse you can parry him! Man...oh well...i beat him. Im happy xp

[@real_simbert]

@@xymos7807 sounds like you made a new discovery as well 😄

[@fukunaga-kane]

This is a lot more fair than Godfrey since Godfrey is unparriable. Parry make things a little bit fair even for the hardest bosses. I wished they made bosses weaknesses more obvious as malenia (stagger easily).

[@real_simbert]

I don’t know how you can make those things more obvious 😅. What I basically did before was testing around with some tactics for example what damage type or what elemental damage he is weak to. After a while I discovered that he is weak to holy damage in the first phase and a bit less weak to holy damage in his second phase.

[@dolphindude27]

This was the same strategy I used. I was surprised how easy he was to parry.

[@real_simbert]

Was surprised that this even worked in fact you can’t parry the original radahn when I remember correctly.

[@ancientangel7634]

What is the blue circle when you parry him?

[@szarekhthesilentking7043]

That's carian retaliation It can be used as well as a normal parry, but with the advantage of being able to parry spells with projectiles too (if the enemy has any, and also it costs FP to parry spells)

[@real_simbert]

@@szarekhthesilentking7043plus the parry window is bigger (better)

[@lunar888]

Well done! I did this with golden parry and was wondering why people use carian ret? Is it just the mana thing?

[@real_simbert]

May it was my mistake. I though carian ret had a bigger window to parry. Seems like golden parry is better. So I cant really answer to this question 😅 Beside I guess my mana is enough to actually run golden parry next time :)

[@fukunaga-kane]

@@real_simbertoh i thought buckler parry is the best. Most of the time buckler “feels” like it has the biggest window. Maybe I was wrong.

[@real_simbert]

@@fukunaga-kane you are right in that. But I specifically talk here about ashes of war differences and not shields in general 👍🏻

[@lordninetails514]

​@@fukunaga-kane Buckler and golden parry have the same amount of parry frames being the best but technically golden parry is better because it has range and can parry at mid distance instead of point blank like every other parry
