Radahn is insanely hard. Then i realised you can use the 60% holy damage negation incantation. Makes the boss so much more reasonable.

I agree, my only nitpick is (ironically) the final boss, being a re-fight of Radahn. For all i like Radahn we'd already fought him and defeated him, i was looking forward to some new character or maybe even fighting Miquella directly. And then when it ends we cant interact with the gate and only watch a 10 second cutscene of 2 sentences, felt like an abrupt end.

Somehow I beat Radahn. Doing this DLC on NG+7 above was absolute torture. You could be wearing a full set of demigod armour with the most turtle talismans in the game… and everything still kills you in 2 to even 1 hit. It’s borderline masochism trying to enjoy how breathtaking & beautful the DLC is, when you are constantly backtracking for the site of grace only to get sniped or wombo combed into oblivion just to start all over again. I didn’t beat this DLC, *I survived it*

Imo scadutree blessings are the worst mistake Fromsoft has made. They're a terrible solution for a nonexistent problem. The whole idea behind them was to limit your stats so you can't blow through the DLC by being overleveled/overpowered, thus requiring you to explore and get the blessings to become strong enough to fight the bosses. The main issue with this is that SOTE is a post-game DLC where your character should already be at the soft cap for their main stats + vigor and endurance(mind for mages). After that extra levels don't do anything. These blessings were completely unnecessary and caused terrible scaling problems. The entire dlc could've just been scaled around soft-capped stats like Godfrey, Radagon+EB, Mohg, Loretta, and Malenia. Instead they brought back the issue of being horribly underpowered if you find bosses early or being ridiculously overpowered if you miss an early boss and find it later.

As a 47 year old man this DLC gives me very mixed emotions. My first Fromsoft game was Bloodborne and I remember getting wrecked by Cleric Beast on that bridge. I platinumed that game and proceeded to plat DS3 and beat DS1, Ds2 and Demon Souls. I platinumed Elden Ring base game. Ive seen Fromsoft go from niche to mainstream and a industry titan. Im doing okay in the DLC, Ive beaten 3 bosses on this list and havent pulled my remaining hair yet. However, Ive seen whats in front of me and I know my abilities and this shit isnt happening. Ive beaten Kas, Gael and Malenia, but I dont see myself getting past some of this. The endless combos, area effects, and just raw damage are going to be to much. Like a ball busting coach Myazaki has dragged me kicking and screaming from getting wrecked by Cleric Beast to beating Gael. I think Shawdow of the Erdtree is wear my abilities get left behind. Im not mad and Im not posting salt. I feel blessed, as a former athlete to find something at this stage in life to test me and force me to improve beyond what I imagined at the start, this experience has been a blessing. For you pushing through, "Take heed, Struggler. Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words".

im gonna be real, the only reason why its so hard is because base game is easy to go through, he wanted to give everyone a challenge and a real one at that and I think he did perfectly on what his ideal plan was for this DLC, only thing i hate is that he brought back Radahn after we killed him in base yet this all takes place in the same time span

​@@ultrablade0469 The thing with Elden Ring is the boss fights are as much as a challenge as you, or rather your build, allows them to be. Beating Sekiro requires you to git gud, build optimization only goes so far. But in ER, you can get really OP. In my first run, Malenia was a pain, I mainly stuck to an oonga boonga STR build. In NG+, I wanted to see how much an OP build would trivialize the fight, so with BB, Mimic and Fire Incants, I beat her on my second try with basic buffs. Sekiro was way harder for me, but I do admit my potato PC lagged quite a bit.

I beat Radahn after a little over 50 tries...My trick was: 1) Talismans: Dragoncrest, Golden braid, erdtree+2, Crimson Amber +2 2) Morgotts rune 3) Bullgoat legs and arms, empty head, Scaled Armour, raptor black feather armour 4) Boiled crabs, golden vow 5) Physick: Opaline hard tear, Thorny cracked Tear 6) +20 scadutree blessing and +10 spirit summon 7) 2 handing bloodhound fang+10 8) Mimic summon. Spammed ash of war and jump attacks to brute force. I was initially trying no summon with my dual cold bandit curved sword build. Always used to struggle in phase two. I used to die with unused flasks. Realized that main problem is that I dont have enougn HP to tank hits and exchange blows. Beefed up HP and took it to above 2700 with increased defence and won in 2nd try of the mentioned build. The first try was very close with him and me both on one hit. The camera caused by attack to whiff. I could have beat him in less than 3 tries if I respeced and went for this setup. I wanted to end the game with only cold bandit curved swords. Btw, shield and poke with fingerprint shield should work as well. This guy would be the hardest ever made till date for me.

Radahn is the hardest boss in this series, by far. It took me 4 hours of attempts to win and I will say that phase 1 is so much harder than phase 2. Most of my deaths were in phase 1 or attempting to get back to phase 2. You need Malenia's great rune to have a chance in this fight, so kill Malenia, buy every rune arc imaginable, and just use the healing on hit. For the DLC, just use the spirit ashes at this point, when From introduces an entire leveling system for them, they are no longer cheese tactics, but necessary use tactics. My build recommendations for Radahn are his swords from his base game remembrance, Malenia's great rune, Opaline bubble tear, Ironjar aromatic, and Black Knife Tiche. That was the build I killed him on.

Radahn- Intro: I just beat Radahn after around six hours of attempts. I used a build similar to yours, a heavy sword one-hit at a time kinda thing. I learned that holy negation counts, it removes a lot of the risk in second phase. Also if you’re gonna hit this guy, hit him hard. I stacked jump attack buffs with the Gravebird chest piece and the claw talisman, I hit exclusively jump attacks for this fight. Luck dictates whether you survive, and that’s a fact. There are a few moves I want to mention as I go. Combat in first phase: The first hit is free. Enter the fog wall and wait for him to do the gravity spin, learn the timing and it’s an instant hit for you. He has two attacks in first phase that are potentially unavoidable, the gravity rock sling and the double slice into scissor combo. Lucky placement is the only way to avoid them, period. The easiest attack to reliably dodge and then punish is the double right-side swing into sword earthquake combo. Bait that by staying kissing distance from him. These tips come from hours of trial and error, and they allow me to get him to second phase within twenty seconds on average (with a high scadutree blessing and three buffs, I did this on NG+3 and they are necessary). Phase two Combat: Phase two gives all of his attacks the Miquela poppers, obviously. Though, one or two combos only get them from the last swing (just as a fun fact). The holy negation I mentioned will help counteract a popper here and there. Now for the anime-clone-after-image attacks. A lot of them are dodgable, specifically the ones where he is on the ground and hacking away. There are also one or two where he charges in place before sending a burst of himself at you, just walk/dodge to the side a whole bunch and he’ll miss (unless you’re too slow, then you die immediately). A lot of the overhead after-image attacks will chip you at the least, but one takes the cake as the hardest move to survive in the entire game (Waterfowl Dance 2 if you will). It’s a modified version of one of his other really difficult to avoid attacks, the rock sling. He sends rocks at you, then if you survive those (or get half your health bar chunked) he sends a bunch of clones at you that cannot be outrun, dodged or avoided. They also stun you if they land, so try to dodge a couple and take one or two for the team. But that’s not the worst part, after the clones, he slams down and makes another earthquake. Once he pulls his swords up the ground shatters and explodes in an outward pattern with the Miquela poppers. Each of these things stack by the way. The swords coming up, the ground shattering, and the popper wave can all hit you individually require meticulous timing and placement that I couldn’t muster after six hours of trying. I used the crimson burst tear to save my ass during this one specific attack, and it only worked twice. Other than that it’s manageable for a seasoned player like you. The Miquela rapture explosion can be avoided with good timing by running out of the blast zone (marked by the ring of white around the edge). Also a good tactic I found is staggering him and critting just before the boom (this takes luck, you’ll need three consecutive and powerful attacks to knock him down). The Miquela brainwash grab is the most free damage in second phase, even if you mess up your timing you only die after the second time he grabs you. The meteor attack is tough to avoid but isn’t usually a one-shot risk. Just dodge the first set of clones and take the explosion like a champ. That’s all I’ve got, I’m sorry I don’t have more experience to tell you how to avoid his attacks better, but this is what got me by. You might’ve already beaten him, but maybe this will help another commenter :) Mohg Secret Boss Are you familiar with the Mohg dance? Well, streamer Jerma985 is the master. After beating the game and getting Miquelas crown, bring it to Mohg’s arena and put it on the cocoon. Mohg will then be resurrected and will challenge you to a dance-off.

I really liked the levelling system since it stopped me from steamrolling the DLC and made it feel like I was playing it for the first time again. I see your point though, and I don't think there was a way to satisfy both types of players. Not having this system would let us steamroll the dlc even though the bosses have hard a huge amount of attacks and such; if they had base game scaling they wouldn't be nearly as hard. Runes can't do that since past lvl 150, the equivalent of a few levels doesn't compare to even 1 scad buff. On the other hand, by having this system it sort of undoes the progress for players who don't care about fully exploring the DLC and just want to move from one major boss to the other, which is a completely understandable mindset and/or players who want to explore but don't care for the sense of growth. Add to that the final boss being too bullshit and cheap. They could have not had the system and left it like the previous FS DLC's but the sense of progression is important enough to Elden Ring's identity that I like it.

@@theholypopechodeii4367 Elden Ring was all about exploration(open world game after all), and people were complaining that the base game didn't provide enough incentive to explore as much as it should have. It really isn't unreasonable to expect players to either bite their tongue and duke out the challenge, or go and explore to get stronger. That's how a lot of fromsoft games always worked. It was how it worked in Demon's Souls(go to other archstones), Ds1(don't go to the catacombs early), and so forth. I really don't see how this is a point of contention. And this is coming from someone who skipped a lot of the minidungeons in the base game. Agree on the final boss though. I don't mind the lore, and the music is phenomenal.

@@Nightwalk2 finally did it last night. It took, EVERYTHING. I’m ashamed to say, I had to rely on jolly cooperation to take him down with full defense poke builds to take him down. It took a total of near 7 hours all together to take him down. 2 hours solo, 2 and half hours with npc/spirit summons, 1 hour of test runs, nearly 2 hours with players. I will return in my getting good play through.

leda being at #3 just because you were fighting them alone (which is not what your meant to do) is a fine example of the stupid mindset of "if you summon you didn't beat it"

While I don’t condone people shitting on others for using summons, everyone can play the game how they want, so I definitely don’t think that is a stupid mindset just cause they don’t like using summons and like the 1v1 matchup, it probably feels more fulfilling and satisfying for them to do so which I can understand.

I first thought having Radahn as the final boss was weird but it made sense when Miquela showed up in phase two. But I agree, I felt something was missing. It didn't feel epic enough I guess. Might be because in the end it's a DLC and not supposed to be the actual end of the game.

I think what makes Radahn difficult is that your assumptions are often against you. So many moves have to be dodged by running: the rock hurl, the phase two gravity wave, the phase two standard air five-point slash, the massive nuke attack, etc. You often have to use running to get into position to actually dodge, and when you do dodge, you have to always dodge in, you can never run away. The fight just goes against your base instincts.

Midra is surprisingly challanging if you use a fire weapon. I mean, yeah, he is kind of strong against fire. Lord of Frenzied Flame for a reason. Also with Bayle there are a few windows where its more worth it to hit the left leg, as that takes the same damage as the head.

The leda fight is supposed to be fought alongside Ansbach, I believe. Leda has voice lines talking to him, and he spawns in once Dane does. It makes the insufferable ganking into a satisfying chance to turn the tables into a 2v2 or 2v1 in your favor.

I hope you take the time to replay the expansion slowly so you can savour everything and learn the fights even more. I think SOTE rewards exploration more than any piece of Fromsoft, since scadutree fragments can make most bosses moderate in difficulty. Rellana and Putrid Knight in particular are doable with 5 and 7 scadutree fragments respectively.

NG+7 / Two Handed "Greatsword" / Braggart's Roar / And a dream Bayle is the best dragon fight in all of Fromsoft's Souls creation, I proudly say this as a long-time player of Monster Hunter. In all of my years of playing Fromsoft games, there has never been a dragon that gave me the same andrenaline as the ones in classic MonHun games. Bayle pulled off a dragon fight that is as high quality as what Capcom put out in MonHun, and I hope they would learn from this when they finally created a remake White Fatalis. Also the camera needs fixin lmao, other than that 12/10

13: Messmer, extremely controversial but I found him very easy and beat him 3rd try. 12: Metyr, I did not struggle with her that much, she was pretty easy. 11: Putrescent Knight, took me an unnecessarily long time, but once I realized you could jump the fire, it was easy. 10: Golden Hippopotamus, really easy if you have a lot of scadutree fragments, this fight is also completely missable if you go through the church district. 9: Romina, I actually struggled with this fight a bit, but eventually got past it. 8: Divine Beast Dancing Dragon, I never figured out it's moves, I just made it through. 7: Scadutree avatar, I think because this was my 3rd boss and I did it with hand to hand, that I struggled unnecessarily hard on this fight. 6: Midra, this was my second to last fight, this dude made me pull out mimic, I could not figure out how to dodge his phase transition and it just kept 1 shotting me. 5: Needle Knight Leda, fun fact, this fight changes based on the quests you did, you had Hornsent in your fight, I had Freyja and Moore instead of Hornsent because he was dead, and I could summon both Thiollier and Ansbach for the fight, which I did because there was no chance I was winning a 4v1 4: Rellana, so I did not struggle with this fight at all because I summoned Leda who just obliterated her, but I know literally everyone else has struggled, so that's why this is here. 3: Bayle, I absolutely love this fight, this my favorite fight out of every game I've ever played, it took me a very long time to beat him (40 ish attempts) but I never got upset dying to him because I got to keep experiencing the fight. 2: Commander Gaius, he is literally just bullshit, I had to resort to becoming a wall, being completely heavy load with a greatshield and the perfect guard tear and just guard countered him to death. 1: Consort Radahn, this is the hardest fight I have ever beaten (I've had harder fights in other games, but did not beat them (Kingdom hearts 1 final boss)), took 3 hours with a maxed out mimic
