Radahn, Consort of Miquella as a Mage with Night Comet (no summon)

Lots of panic rolling and getting hit by silly stuff, Night Comet still beats pretty much all DLC bosses really easily just like base game. Build was:
Magic Scorpion Charm
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
Crimson Seed Talisman +1
Graven Mass Talisman
60 Vig
41 Mind
45 End
80 Int
Scadu blessing 18

Finally! A mages build and just a night comet? Amazing. I didn’t want to change my build to dex or arcane for bloodloss with a tank shield. Good job! 💫 ☄️

Looks like a different boss compared to how he behaves in my game. He never just walks towards me taking hits, he just spams millions of skills in the tenth of a second.

Dude that was gangster just letting him hit you with that crazy AOE.

[@josephbradley1781]

At first I wondered why he used the night comet when the Comet does more damage. Then I realized it didn’t matter what he used. He could have used the weakest thing he had and he still would have won. It is because he is a master of getting out of the way of any hits by this guy or any other boss. Oh, to be that good. My hats off to you.

[@caph7798]

Man that last trade with him at 2:17. I felt that HAHAHAHAHA ggs I just beat him with my INT caster build

"Oh wow, this magic build is just absolutely shredding Radahn. Is it really that easy? Was my base game dedication to playing as a Tree Sentinel really just for naught? Did I just take on Radahn with the wrong approach? Was he really this easy this whole time?" *Phase 2 hits and you barely have any time to heal, let alone cast spells* "Ah, okay, nvm. I still feel valid in my dislike of this boss."

Thorns is still the best for damage. Throw in mimic with only golden vow and thorns and your melting his hp bar (Edit: this is my experience from NG+7)

[@foranubis7561]

Im abit confused here, you have no holy negation equiped, you have the magic scorpion charm equiped which makes you take more damage and vigor at 60, and Radans holy attacks looks like its doing so little damage, what am I missing here? Besides the physical combo all Radans spells dont take a huge chunk of health

[@xxANBUxx]

I have Golden Vow and am still wearing decently heavy armor. I also used a crab meat for physical negation and the Opaline Hardtear for all negation up.

[@luistapia5865]

Great job!

[@xxANBUxx]

Thank you!

[@Reinch_ChannelAboutEverything]

Notice how he gives the least amount of openings for your to hit once he enters the second phase. God, I hate it so much

[@MgMast3r]

Wow, I guess I rly should've just attacked him when he's slowly lifting himself up about to cast the slow aoe thingie , instead of running away. The Dmg is rly not that bad, especially if u stack holy res , and u can chunk him for a lot more than u take. What I rly wanna know tho'... is how the heck did you get him to just slowly walk towards ya a few times??? Is it like a thing where u can't be too far, nor too close? Cause I always had the vacuum pool then him going into a crazy ass gravity spell + melee combo whenever I tried to make space. I beat him with the Carian Thrusting shield + deflect hardtear thinking spell usage against him would be night-impossible.

[@xxANBUxx]

Honestly it was just luck when he does the slow walk, sometimes he is aggressive, sometimes he slow walks.

[@Heywhatsupmyman]

I really feel so dumb for not trying magic on him, I was convinced Comet or Night Comet would do like 2 damage. I have 72 Intelligence, like I’m technically a mage build but I never mage any boss. The only magic I used were Dragon incants. Why do I never use my spells??

I thought mages had zero cast time during this boss fight. The more you know

[@xxANBUxx]

During the second phase it feels like it, sometimes you gotta commit to trading to get a spell off, like I intentionally got hit by the big holy explosion since it wont kill me and I have time to heal before he comes down.

[@toxicceoofcharisma]

Wow, that so stupid. I had to change builds because i just kept getting annihilated because i was using a Dragon communion build (Maw Hyper armor) so I had to use arcane weapons. I was feeling for mages those for 4 days i spend struggling on that damn boss

Stage 2!is 3x worse. He teleports to me and swings while spamming his backg growth’s light beams 😅 I’m so disappointed Fromsoft went the cheapest possible route and made new bosses just spam attacks. Elden ring 10/10. shadow 6/10 o it because we get new fasion and better gear from the same first few bosses.And why do radahan swords suck worse than the first? 😅

Probably late, but here's my five cents. Make sure you've got Godfrey Icon, Magic Scorpion, and then probably Graven Mass plus Graven School for max damage would be my best guess. Golden Vow + Howl, and make sure that you use either Lusat or PoD in the main hand and Staff of Loss in the other. Off the top of my head, this is the best setup if you don't want any crazy buffing tactics, though Howl and Scorpion will make you take a LOT of extra damage, so go in with courage!
