How to beat Radagon & the Elden Beast with a Melee Build on Elden Ring!

[@_itsmunah]

Radagon the easy part. Eldin beast just keeps diving under every time I move in. I can get him to half health right of the start. But then just constantly diving under and throwing those golden slashes on repeat. Every video i watch it’s relatively tame compared to mine.

Thank you I thought I was crazy

[@taysthedestroyer9226]

Mine did the big attack when I hit him once it’s honestly putting me off the game

[@_itsmunah]

@@taysthedestroyer9226 I ended up beating him 5 more times on new game+ lol

[@zeroinjack4380]

Dodging that ring thing is like trying to focus on something while watching a 3D movie without the glasses. I can’t pinpoint exactly where they’re at.

[@kindlestix8079]

You can jump it

[@blaketindle4703]

Dude you literally were down to 1hp early in the fight! Pure luck you survived lol

[@CCF_-hj5mw]

@@BBQcheese but the guy is really bad at all he dont dodge most times he is just overleved and tank most attacks

[@double_joseph327]

Howd your mimic survive the entire battle lol

[@blaketindle4703]

For real! After the update nerfed it My +10 Mimic doesn’t even try to dodge or block! Just stands there like an idiot trying to attack and dies in half the time it used to!

@Mank Hobley dont even, god almighty, i mean the elden beast, completely ignores that u have a summon and non stop spams attacks. The game is unfinishable

[@javierortiz7234]

@@palsoltesz9967 I have beat the game multiple times and my build is more for killing the elden beast

[@friendlyneighborhooddg]

Okay so, based on the obvious that you decided not to address: be sure you have high enough stats so that you can tank at least 2 of his nonstop aoe's and be sure you can time your dodge correctly lol. Good info to have, but I was personally hoping for more depth as I'm on NG+2 trying to help my friend with his build and radagon. Still informative by showing the full unedited fight. Good material man, thank you for the guide.

[@doctortuxito7532]

It seems like he has 60 points in vigor, which, tbf at this point in the game, no matter which build other than a full mage build I guess, 60 vigor should be the minimum

[@trevoreagle1821]

shit man, this boss is to fucking hard. alone it's almost impossible with a melee build. I'm stuck I need help. this boss needs a fucking nerf. the spam attacks that I can't jump over or dodge ruin it. I just want to finish the game but this boss has halted all progress. it's been 2 weeks and I still can't do it. and the fucking mimic got nerfed so bad it just stands around! doesn't even attack. man, I want a refund, fuck this game.

[@giammy8466]

I've beat Radagon and the Elden Beast multiple times with a strength/faith melee build. I've managed to kill them solo eventually, but if you want to use a spirit summon I recommend Black knife Tiche since it deals a lot of damage and avoids almost every hit. For Radagon, I've used the Blasphemous Blade, you can either 2 hand it or use a shield but the boss has predictable openings when you can simply spam the weapon art and maybe trade a hit. For the Elden beast, I've then switched to a Grave scythe with Black Flame Tornado Ash of war, if you have Godskin peeler you can use that. When you approach under the boss, channel the weapon art as long as possible, it just wrecks the Elden beast. I've learned to dodge the moves, but I always buff myself with Lord's Divine fortification (super important) and Golden Vow; also Haligdrake Talisman +2 works wonders together with those buffs and stacks with Pearldrake Talisman for even more spell negation (physical attacks are annoying but dodgeable). If you like, Pest Threads is a very good incantation to throw when close to the boss and you can't spam the black flame tornado.

[@dswagg585x2]

I happen to be using the same wepon have it plus 10 what is your level? if you don't mind me asking im having alot of trouble with radaggon I also don't have mimic yet

[@lamefire9]

black knife tiche is a far better summon since the mimic tear nerfs.

[@ethxn7147]

Mimic tear at +10 gets me through the radagon fight fairly easy so I recommend you get it

[@dswagg585x2]

I beat him finally

[@budzcee]

They had to up his attacks hard - I'm taking major damage from those stars that chase me for the longest, but your character isn't taking too much damage. Mimic tear is trash in this fight - not sure if it was nerfed during the patches... Elden Beast is the second worst boss in this game (first being Fire Giant). Thanks for the video - it's helping me understand the attacks as a melee build.

[@aleco678]

Agreed

[@powerbouwer]

Hello, what buffs do you use ? Thx! Nice video

[@beeeboopbeepboop]

messing around with builds. last test was melee magic hybrid with 60+ holy resistance and 50+ physical resistance. he still hit me for the same big chunks he did without any resistance. this game is so fukt but they're not going to fix any of the overtuning or broken aspects of the game because the aut "git gud" community doesn't care. i've beaten the game plenty of times with many different builds, have over 2k hours in the game. the game is trash toward the end.

[@r-sky6788]

Dude has the same exact build I do lmao

[@onspinevenom7932]

What talismans do you got on?

[@88GhostRider]

Thank you for this video. I actually beat the game after learning from this video.

[@ItHadToBeDan]

Nicely done!

[@tobiaslundgren4587]

I cant summon mimic in there??

[@gimmeaknober1406]

Cause it summons based off health not fp. So you have to have enough health

[@patwilson2546]

I know this is supposed to be helpful but it basically amounts to "get gud". Just dodge here and double roll there and ... umm okay.

[@ditzdark8639]

If I could fight both bosses from the beginning one by one I would win but being at lvl 184 I can't beat Melania or this guy. Sucks this is my favorite game since Skyrim but I have to put the controller down on this one since its too hard.

What level is your mimic?

[@_itsmunah]

Use tiche +10. Was using mimic and whatever they did to it ruined it. I have no problem with Radagon it’s the eldin beast spamming those golden slashes and diving away everytime I get close.
