in the lore, it's explained that radahn's horse was his most trusted companion and best friend since childhood. later on in life, radahn learned to master gravity magic from sorcerers. after this point radahn didn't need his horse anymore, but he refused to let him go. even after radahn went mad from from the scarlet rot and began feeding on the bodies of those he conquered, he continues to ride his favorite horse, constantly using gravity magic to keep from crushing him...

Lore wise, dude straight up S tier. Learnt antigravity magic just so he could keep riding his horse. Used most of his power to hold back the stars from falling and won against most others using just a fraction of his original power. Dude didn't die to the rot either but slowly went mad with it, but still held back the stars despite all this. People held a festival to give him the farewell he should deserve.

Things about radahn is he's the most loved demigod after miquella, 1.He was stopping stars from hitting earth using his gravity spell even though he had been corrupted by scarlet rot. 2. Learned gravity spell to avoid hurting or parting with his horse. 3. He was so respected that his soldiers even after him bieng corrupted stick by his side and we're using flame to remove scarlet rot from cellia. That's why they started radahn festival to give him a warriors death. 4.when we fight radahn he's in extremely nerfed stage. Where he is basically a zombie and I guess most of his strength was utilised in stopping stars. 5. Even after loosing his mind he still never harmed his horse Leonard.

Heres some fun facts about Radahn: 1) He learned gravity magic just so he didnt have to abandon his scrawny horse who he had since he was young. 2) The horses name is Leonard according to the files. 3) When you summon patches to the fight, he'll take one look at Radahn and peace out. 4) The Chad literally CONQUERED THE STARS. 5) He was actually holding back the meteorite that falls at the end of the boss fight. And the meteorite may or may not be Astel (just a little theory I have). 6) He actually is a good guy. Due to Malenia's scarlet rot, he slowly went insane and killed anyone like what Jerren says before the battle. And the fact theres a festival to put the fallen hero to rest is just wholesome, sad and amazing. Edit: heres a new one: 7) Radahn doesn't have feet.

I just started fighting him now. Playing solo it would probably be hard, but since it feels intended to be played with summons, I'm doing that and it's way more fun because it feels like a battle. In summation, after having beaten him, I feel like summons are definitely the best way to fight him. Running around the field in the second phase constantly summoning at a distance saps all enjoyment from it and I would never try it. Just summon at the beginning, play aggressive with the others handling aggro and poise, then in the second phase handle him with your remaining summons or solo for extra fun. It's the only fight in the series where I would recommend summoning, and for good reason. Best boss so far, can't wait to fight him solo on NG+.

He did though, he just didn't keep it in on this edit.

He got mad, started saying chat was backseating so much that he was just going to end it right quick by cheesing it, however I would bet that the truth is that he said that just as an excuse for cheesing the boss after his pride got hurt by chat's teasing... And then he still ended up dying a few more times even after doing all the cheese strategies, which hurt his pride even further I imagine.

[@silverwolf3625]

For anyone struggling, here's some tips : *Start* - His tracking arrows (purple ones) cannot be dodged on horseback but they can be blocked if you stand behind the numerous weapons scattered across the battlefield. - Some of the summoning signs locations depends of your character's position on the arena. (For exemple Blaidd's sign can be found at the far left at the start but also along Patches's sign in front of Radhan) - The maiden's sign can be found left of where Radhan is standing while shooting his arrows (she provides healing while following the player). - Radhan will never shoot tracking arrows while the spears are following you. *Fighting Radhan Phase 1* - The safest place to be is behind his butt as he has only one attack that could hit you (but it is a 360° aoe so watch out). - At 3/4 health he will activate his Gravity powers by smashing his 2 swords on the ground in front of him giving a huge window to dish out damage. - When he pulls you in with his gravity power, avoid his 2nd hit by going behind him. It also gives you time to deal damage. - Blaidd or Alexander can stagger Radhan. If he is staggered, avoid doing a critical strike as the NPCs won't do any damage during your animation. *Fighting Radhan Phase 2* - His "jump" animation (to trigger phase 2) does no damage, take this opportunity to beat his ass. - To avoid his meteor move, immediately ride on horseback out of the way. - Shortly after landing Radhan will conjure forth 4 massive boulders. While doing so he is vulnerable at the back. Be warned these meteors are *INSTAKILL* if they hit you while also being extremely tricky to dodge. They will only start chasing you once Radhan takes some distance before charging at you full force. Best way to avoid the meteors is to run behind the hill on which he stands at the beginning as soon as he starts running away from you. Another way might be to run towards him but I have no concret evidence of success as of yet. The only brief respite from this is he will have to summon them back before he can pull that bs move again. - Another instakill is when he calls upon little gravity orbs. He will follow up with his pulling move, effectively killing you as you take 10+orbs to the face. You can dodge the "pull" if timed right or simply start running if you see him setup the orbs. *Some more infos* - He is weak to Scarlet rot and other afflictions (I used frost on him and it worked pretty well). - By chasing him behind on horseback, you can make the AI run in circle as you beat his horse's crippled ass (look up some videos on how it works). - The most effective way to kill him is to deal enough stagger damage during phase 1 to stun him before he jumps away. By doing this you can easily deal take 3/4 of his health bar. - Recommended lvl is 75 - Invest in healthpoints. Radhan can potentially 1 shot kill without any Vigor (and that dude combos a lot). - Screw this dude and his festival. Please feel free to add more infos or correct me if I'm wrong. Good luck brave tarnished. May -the Elden ring- Ranni give you strengh :P

Just dodge and use magic ez clap

[@Trypan]

there are i-frames mounting the horse WHEN moving / de-mounting WHEN NOT moving forward. So just let go of your forward movement control button or whatever console you are using, and unmount for a free dodge. This can be used if you cant get behind cover in time. And the horse sometimes tend to break the weapons on the ground if you get to close.. AND the seeking arrow hitboxes are wonky af and can sometimes go straight through them around the arena. So just practicing the mounting i-frames can save you from wasting flasks before getting to him.

I tried but it didn’t work, I had to get gud and use the uchikatana

[@fahamali2690]

The chat were backseat gaming the entire 50 - or so deaths to the point of him saying "I will come back later and beat him the fun way". They apparently also kept judging him for using Sword of Night and Flames because its too easy to the point of him switching to Moonlight Greatsword aswell. I do wish him luck on his no summons and magic clear, and also a death count. I defo want to see a deathcount. For Milena aswell.

@@sywitdarock Cheese is not a good word but Magic is the preferable way to fight him. I went with STR/FAITH with Golden Spear. My Dmg on him was actually AMAZING! The problem were the one shot mechanics. That being said after 1.5 hour i realized the strategy of how to summon the people. I could continuesly than bring him to like 20-30% hp before he even starts 2nd phase. The only problem where that big meteorite that are incredibly hard to dodge and one shot u every time :D Overall 10/10 Boss experience, I will never forget going to battle with Pot Boy and beating what by lore is the strongers demigod in the universe ! :D

This aged like the world's best tasting fine wine

This aged so well

He's silly,baddass and wholesome at the same time -Silly:He rides a tiny horse around and in one combo the horse got sunk into the sand so after the combo he pulls it out of the ground to keep riding it -Baddass:The guy literally forced the stars to stop moving by himself -Wholesome:He figured out how to use gravitation magic just to keep riding his horse

[@Kaito-1412.]

The summons make the fight feel like a grand war, kinda reminds me of the Burnt Ivory King from DS2. The desert map feels like the fight between Archer and Rider in Fate/Zero

[@aichmalotizo9873]

Rock Sling is amazing Charlie. It can easily do enough poise damage to stagger things with.

[@tomk887]

I find godskin to be more diffcult. with this guy all his shit is far and telegraphed, godskin doesnt give enough time for you to react.

[@Pnwrat]

Just an fyi. The sword wasnt doing anywhere near the broken damage it does at max +10 and being scaled up with int/faith properly. I do like 2500 damage i believe with the beam. Its crazy.

[@xIRONxMAN13x]

To anybody having problems with this he is very weak to bleeding. Solo'd him with bloodhound claws and blood flame armament.

[@lancejohnson3278]

Yeah, I've just been using Hook claws. When he gravity pulls I'd go in on the horse and get Phase 2 fast. Phase 2 gets a bit hairier since the horse seems to work different, or something, idk, didn't seem to be able to just zone in on it and get a fat bleed fast, but overall fight was fine solo.

[@onedankman1005]

Rock Sling gets a buff from the Meteorite Staff. Honestly I've been using Rock Sling on every boss/larger enemies. Ridiculous range and awesome damage, also stance breaks enemies really fast.

[@custardpup6385]

I love the pure and naive Charlie at the start of this video thinking he can fight Radahn underlevelled, and not using horseback, magic or any of the summons. What a sweet innocent soul.

[@evanderk3300]

Damn, Elden ring really is amazing. never thought Charlie would post so many times on one game. Mr krabs overdose on ketamine finally found his rival.

[@sonofasadie]

The more I watch this guy. The more I really do appreciate his demeanor. Truly

[@joshuakoppes3665]

I was literally think to myself about how immature i am because i would’ve broke something

[@danielholguin7621]

Man, they nerfed Radahn to oblivion. When I first fought him I wanted to struggle for a long time because he was so cool, and I felt he deserved to have a long battle. But he’s just so easy now.

[@zUGGxz]

He’s fixed now. You probably just got better at fighting him

[@heatchamps2011]

@@zUGGxz no he is not the same as when he launched

[@wildbard4112]

​@@heatchamps2011 He's a little weaker but not as much as everyone is crying about

[@heckingbamboozled8097]

@@heatchamps2011 His nerf wasn't very significant for damage, and for the most part had to do with fixing the hitreg on his swords to make them more accurate to the size of the actual models. The biggest change by far was the reducing of the small homing orbs. People acting like he was literally unbeatable before the patch need to chill. The difference is not that significant

[@ArmoredOne1]

And almost 3 years later in his new form he is yet again the hardest boss in souls

[@bucknasty69]

Nameless King, Slave Knight Gael, Midir, and Fume Knight are harder IMO.
