How to CHEESE Promised Consort Radahn (NG+7)

[@TomSelbyGaming]

Lots of people are asking so here you go, I used the following talismans and spells: crimson seed talisman +1 (increases hp flask effectiveness) haligdrake talisman +2, great shield talisman, pearldrake talisman +3. The build is 60 vigor, 40 mind, 60 endurance, 60 strength, 80 arcane. The weapon is bloodfiend arm, and i have no skill as the ash of war on the shield but you don’t need that. Hope this helps!!!

[@Aeonhem]

Is that lvl150 or more? More take stuff off mind and use antspur. Can't beat him for my life lol

[@marruhwahnuh]

What's your faith at?

[@gezimnexhipi4905]

instead bloodfiend arm, is mohgs spear affective as well

[@arshaQ]

this fight is not even fun hard at this point. its boring hard... UNFAIR HARD

[@Wolfgaming142YT]

impossibly hard 😭

[@NuclearWaffle0]

It's not hard, it's just straight up unfair. They really overtuned this fight

[@Wolfgaming142YT]

@@NuclearWaffle0 on Ng+7 he’s basically fire giant with how much hp he has 😂

[@Wolfgaming142YT]

when you’re using bleed on him it only takes away like 4% of his health away per proc

[@Louismsb0907]

​@@Wolfgaming142YT he has more health than fire giant overall, and fire giant had points to do double damage😭😭

[@PR1ME98]

Every cheese tactic involves that stone shield.

[@welds8424]

Ya cos its the best one lol

[@beanzbeanzbeanzbeanz]

fr, i hope fromsoft realizes that radahn is a problem because of that

[@cityraintunes]

@@beanzbeanzbeanzbeanz I agree because they’ve basically made it so you have to change your build

[@ashentwo6608]

​@@cityraintunesfr the dlc is the embodiment of anti-rpg because it's either change your entire play style or die hundreds of times

[@Titanicus560]

@@cityraintunesyou can but you can still do it with your own like every single boss and yes he has problems but there’s also great things about him too

[@radahn42]

Bro got revived just to immediately be scarlet rotted again

[@yukuzai]

if you also sit there and spam swarm of flies you get more damage off hope this helps

[@jaymarquis3482]

I'm using fingerprint as well but have not had the same luck. I can get him down to 25% hp sometimes, but eventually, he breaks through. I think while you are skilled and this is impressive to beat him on ng+7, you got incredibly lucky with him grabbing your mimic tear which allowed you to rebuff and land that scarlet rot on him again. Even so, thank you for the video and great job beating him!

[@jaymarquis3482]

Update: just beat him. Had to tweak some stuff and respec. Did it with fingerprint, bloody lance (bleed procs), dragon comm seal, golden vow, flame grant me strength, erdtree/haligdrake/dc greatshield/pearldrake talismans.

[@millywoodward5557]

Hey got a question, ive followed what you said and im curious if you had the same problem i do with him depleating almost all of my stamina? The video makes this look easy lmao😅​@@jaymarquis3482

[@TomSelbyGaming]

@@jaymarquis3482 Nice man grats, yeah this fight is so tough

[@TheMudfly80]

Haha, I did it, NG+12, Summon mimic with erdtree heal, dragonrot breath, scarlet aeonia, golden vow, and he has dragon communion seal+10 (though any seal just so he spam casts) you switch to antspur rapier weapon with bleed, with fingerprint shield on both. Then cast eardtree heal to keep your mimic alive a lot and apply scarlet rot. I used the flask with the massive damage reduction 1 off to summon the mimic (otherwise boss 1 shots you when summoning mimic) and the first furnac golem drop which helps with blocking. Then two headed turtle talisman, greatshield talisman, haligdrake talisman+2 and dragoncrest greatshield talisman. This was even easier than the video cause you can attack while blocking but the video was good guidance. - edit - just scarlett rot and erdtree heal, with golden vow, works best. Mimic applying rot and healing is easy mode.

[@TomSelbyGaming]

Yeah man, there are heaps of ways I could make the build even better

[@TheMudfly80]

@@TomSelbyGaming honestly this vid was really good cause it showed how to avoid a few skills too, and beat it with a bit of style. Using my method you can block literally everything and unbind the roll key (almost).

[@chanddy1692]

Don't normally comment but, thank you for sharing this build. Worked first try. This boss is honestly in need of a huge nerf. Very silly.

[@TomSelbyGaming]

No worries man glad I could help

[@timleonhardt7824]

I was on ng+4 and tried this strategy out. Much of specs were similar, but I died only once with this tactic. Second time, barely survived. Thank you for helping me out. Indirectly, though lol.

[@Enchilada999]

Bro I love you the scarlet rot damage was exactly the last thing I needed to finish him off thank you

[@kiemugen9830]

man its so disrespectful to use that shit on him... again

[@miguelsantos743]

When you basically NEED to respec into a certain build to kill a boss I feel that just takes the fun out of the game, I like a challenge and breezed through the DLC (Messmer took me like 20 tries and that was the most a boss took me) but this boss is fucking insane, not even for the difficulty of the boss itself but also the fact that you NEED to have around 16-20 scadutree blessing in order to not get 2 shot. Im currently lvl 17 and I dont know where the fragments that i need are, I can see alot of players just giving up when this much is required to kill a boss.

[@TomSelbyGaming]

I only had 12 when I beat him with this strategy, you just gotta build to play vs him. You don’t even need to respec all you need is 35 faith for the rot spell and a shield that can deflect 100% physical

[@Just_B0red]

I managed to beat every dlc boss after 2-3 tries (still stuck on Radahn) some of them really do feel unfair at times, but somewhat doable, Radahn is just bullshit. You know there is something wrong where in game with 300+ weapons and 100+ spells only 2 builds that kill him are Shield Bleed poke, or Lifesteal LionClaw Giant Hammer spam. From Soft obviously need to let go of old DS mechanics and give us more options, either a) remove equip load and give us dash (like how BloodBorne did it) or b) let us fight like it's Sekiro. Many dlc bosses feel like they should've been in Sekiro and not slow DS type game.

[@TomSelbyGaming]

Try using scholars shield spell on the fingerprint shield, and use the new stamina talisman paired with the great shield talisman, you should never get your stance broken with those. Plus there is a new holy damage resistance talisman golden braid which you should use too. All that together and this strategy should be unbeatable.

[@Just_B0red]

@@TomSelbyGaming Oh yea I did it yesterday, I used Black Steel Greatshield, Blood tax Lance and Scarlet Aeonia, my phys res was around 80% and holy 75%, I managed to do it, I just didn't feel great or happy about it, idk my character is Faith caster and I did whole dlc with mix and match of melee/incants, but Radahn just doesn't let you cast anything :/

[@enigmaticjam4534]

omg thanks ng+7 radahn is a nightmare for me hes the fattest boss in the entire souls series

[@joshuasultana687]

Great build still a massive challenge to beat him but made it possible! Thanks mate

[@Eli.p2]

Aint no way that this is ng+7, he has way less hp and does way less damage then he does to me

[@tonykunz5982]
