RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep.30: General Radahn

Aunty Finchy meets her third Shardbearer: the famed Red Lion, the Starscourge, the great General Radahn.
Brace yourself for an epic fight.

[@stevewood694]

Rory’s, “I PUT MY SHIELD UP!” as he died to a meteor is the equivalent of Wile E. Coyote unfolding a tiny umbrella just before a piano turns him into paste. Peak comedy.

[@matthewdiamond8041]

Haha I read the start of this at the exact time Rory said it. I had even started reading it in his voice, when he said it 😂

[@michaelsulesky7221]

Powers being shocked that putting his shield up didn't do anything about radahn crashing down is comedy gold

[@Frostbite08]

"I put my shield up!" "IT'S A METEOR!" 🤣

[@lexxington8773]

When have there ever been 30 episodes of pure bangers from anyone, ever? We’re all blessed I tell ya.

[@mkeezy53]

Don't think I didn't notice the "summer, for my birthday" comment Rory 😂

[@Dreadiroth89]

Surely the Coldplay festival song would have been Yellow? “Look at the stars, look how they’ve stopped for you” 😅

[@RKG]

Very good!

[@ricksturgis4451]

Krupa's little grin before the Airstrike was so perfect.

[@Katubug]

Best part of the episode for me

[@Cobweb404]

Patches fleeing after being summoned is probably one of the funniesy jokes fromsoft ever made. When I played it made me laugh out loud. For such a series series of games the humour in it is excellent

[@mikeyhavik815]

I’m currently playing the new Lords of the Fallen and enjoying it, but it’s just so bleak. FromSoft know how to make their games just bleak enough but with a slight infusion of winking humor

[@camboyrdee]

Going into Radahn without resting and with 31k is the most RKG thing. I’m so sad this is it for part one, but this has been the best let’s play to watch for Elden ring by far. Thank you lads for all the good times and here’s to part II!

[@barrythomson7456]

Some day you'll open up RETRY: Elden Ring ep. 100 THE FINALE (pt III) and this will seem like distant memory Rory and Krupa will have a beard like gavs, and gav will have a beard like... oh he's actually clean shaven. That's odd. Wouldn't have thought so.

[@chef_Jeremy]

I honestly find it unlikely they will be finished within 100 episodes, especially with the DLC out and the sheer difficulty of the bosses in it, I could see the final boss of the dlc alone being a three part episode..

[@Spacewhaleosaur17]

I love that Rory subtlety reminded everyone his birthday was Summer.

[@Undhsialfllvlsmwnxjkaknwd]

You should all take immense pride in this series. You guys have truly and consistently one upped yourselves and now we are spoiled. Like this is such high production and truly building a story of a story which is beautiful. Little apology from Rory was so cute. I'm selfish and would love Resi 4 between Part 1 and 2 and I wouldn't be surprised if you guys do that. Can't believe it's been 30 eps. And years. And covid. A show about persistence and resilience is such a good thing to have as a mainstay in my life.

[@jackiehill3369]

We have to give Rory some recognition for this episode. Radahn is bollock hard and he was on his A game all episode. He’s come a long way from running away from the Asylum Demon. Can’t wait for whatever you lads have next.

[@feralsound]

Came here to post this. Rory's actually pretty damn good at this game. They turned a Dark Souls noob into a FromSoft veteran.

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

It's honestly embarrassing watching him in the fight because of how long it took me to realise you could actually use Torrent 😂

[@Agnes135]

Radahn got nerfed big time from when the game was released. Took me like 30 attempts to beat him originally

[@DOC_951]

Its not that hard when you can summon 6 npcs over and over again...

[@DarkCosmicDragon]

​@@DOC_951 Oh piss off unless you show me undeniable proof you didnt summon them your first go I dont wanna hear shite

[@raqelly123]

Lovely watching the boys on a 2hr boss fight best way to cure a hangover

[@hrannar5072]

I'm in the same state, the lads are totally curing it

[@Lady_Vengeance]

Guys. I really don’t want this to end.

[@osric190]

The good news for those of us who have played the game is we know they've still got a long way to go and many epic encounters!

[@Lady_Vengeance]

@@osric190 Sword and Fang, brother

[@elias.t]

@@osric190 Yeah, they haven't even done the Thing, or beaten the Guy, or even found the Place yet.

[@abluecardigan]

@@elias.t Don't forget the other guy or the place he came from!

[@liuzhaoqi2003]

It's only about 60 hours play time, this is a 200 hours game, prepare at least 100 ep.

[@Avenger10244]

All the years of krupa looking at the camera were leading up to that one moment 😂

[@rocksun1933]

47:40 Rory is the first person I've ever heard complaining about shield doesn't block Radahn's meteor attack. I would like to imagine him in a disaster movie and try to fend off a tornado with an umbrella.

[@Trollkiller]

To be honest it's like the opposite of how powers usually is. Normally it's "wow that actually blocked!" Like with his fight against vordt in ds3. Now it's "I can't believe I can't block a meteor". Lol I love these lads.

[@danwhite7410]

Lads this has been an absolute delight, fair play to you. I’m excited to see what’s next (guessing it’ll be Resi 4) but I can’t wait for this to come back!

[@cjgthebeast]

rory switching the sword for the twinblade that does less damage just because he can't use the "psychic" attack was definitely... an interesting choice.

[@michaelhudson3737]

it's funny though case he immediately upgrades to significantly more than twinblade was, like i don't remember what the twinbalde was at exactly but hadnt they only used up to smithing stone(4) on it and he just goes full hog with the somber stones up to 7. ok just looked the twinbalde was only +8, so yeah the new sword is much stronger if only cause it's so leveled up.

[@jordancook100]

36:38 is the best Krupa look to camera in PTT/RKG history.

[@BaselessClaimYT]

"are you mad at me" had me laughing a lot. And Rory's line (removed spoiler)

[@dylanfurey2337]

I've waited for this episode for years!!!!! TO THE FESTIVAL!!!!

[@artbaretta]

What’s been wonderful to see is Gav and Rory gradually being drawn (like gravity, perhaps?) into the story of Rani and the Welsh Avengers - a story that anyone could entirely ignore or miss or not complete, let alone make it the centre of the first part of their playthrough of Elden Ring. There is so much left to go both within and outside of that. And that’s a source of delight. I’m really pleased that Gav adored the Radahn fight and subsequent reveal. I had a similar experience on my first playthrough. Thank you three (and anyone else behind the scenes) for building us this definitive let’s play of Elden Ring. I’ve loved the Roundtable Hold and Lore Masterclasses too - an excellent, well-thought through additions for patrons. Here’s to part two in the near future and I can’t wait to see what’s next. Enjoy your break, boys!

[@will6332]

Been here since Day 1 and I still find it remarkable how you are able to create such remarkable videos on a regular basis. Sensational work once again gents, excited for Part 2!

[@hyc10]

Daniels fake reaction then smile after Radahn flies into the sky was a top 3 retry moment LOL

[@patricoda]

I love how indignant Rory was about the fact his wooden shield couldn't repel what is effectively a meteor 😂

[@elias.t]

Oh cut him some slack. It *was* made of METAL, after all.

[@jacobcharlebois9570]

the look Daniel gives when Radahn goes into stage 2 is absolute GOLD

[@SamD63UK]

The intro will forever be INCREDIBLE

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

When I played Elden for myself this was the fight where I went "i cannot wait to see Gav and Rory witness this". This series has been everything I could have imagined and more. Many times I've been convinced I've not even played this game because of what you've uncovered. Every series just seems to get better and better. Krupa's lore, Rory's chaos and this time around I loved how excited Gav got at pieceing everything together. Absolute banger. To the fools!

[@MrPsymon808]

Love the contrast between these last two episodes. Very different but both brilliant.

[@visgraatje859]

I think this is legit my favorite series on KZbin. Best let's play ever! My golden standard was always the Jurassic Park Trespasser one from Research Indicates, but this is way better by now. Great fight, Rory! (Wanna slip in that I beat Radahn solo pre-nerf hehe)

[@riverjordan90ify]

Ahh, the weekly 2hr break from existential dread. Good stuff!

[@vLarsn]

Man... I forgot that there wouldn't be a new patreon episode today... brutal! Incredible job on part 1, boys!

[@Schizm1]

This series is like the best freakin gift that keeps on giving. Seriously AMAZING stuff guys. Thank you sooooo much! To the fools!

[@swan-senpai]

The Redmane Chilly Prawns - Heavy LOOAAAAD.

[@wingdings369]

Brilliant Episode!

[@crosislaurekal4551]

Radahn Bestival Rocks! I've been waiting for this fight all series, and you know an episode's gonna be good when you're tempted to immediately skip to the victory moment. Congrats on finishing Part One, boys. Sword and Fang!

[@crazycaffrey]

OUTSTANDING bravo. What a series cant wait for part 2!

[@blitzgirl6522]

Probably one of my top favorite From Soft boss fights of all time. I love the vibe, the anticipation, of the festival, and the boss fight itself has such a grand arena, great music, and summoning all these NPCs is just pure fun!

[@evilcupoftea]

What a journey! And what an epic part one finale! Well played Rory. Can’t wait to see what comes next from the boys. Whilst we eagerly anticipated part 2. You’ve each smashed this out the park.

[@burgundygoat8273]

Mad that they credited all those references at the end there. Exactly the kind of high quality attention to detail we expect out of RKG and no one else.

[@IanMcGarr]

I've been getting back into Elden, you guys especially Daniel have helped me along the way with explanations. I sat down last night ready to finally do Radahn after 50 hours of doing other stuff. I beat him first try. No bull. Of course I used the NPC summons.

[@BlackMarketHero]

Finchy fest is about to take over the Radahn festival 🙌

[@zemo2916]

Sometimes I forget that Saturday mornings are the blessed mornings. Happy Saturday from Canada boys

[@KarzGuitar]

Amazing as always! Can't believe how far this series has come, and can't wait for whatever comes next!

[@gravendanger]

When Rory says this is the one, but there’s an hr left of the episode 😂

[@Ctippell]

I'm only part way in to this, but this is the most excited I've been to see Rory and Gav's reaction. This part of the game is immaculate in so many ways.

[@Trollkiller]

Almost two hours for the old conquerer of the stars, seems about right. Very excited for this episode, thanks for the great content as always lads.

[@TheWorldsRequiamas]

Nhaw boys, im so glad the moment has finally come. i can't wait to see what you've cooked up for the final episode of part 1 from the intro alone. It had me smiling from ear to ear ❤🎉❤

[@mayraa5095]

The labor of love this show is had me emotional. The references at the end. The disclaimers. Proud to be a primordial slug ❤

[@infomea]

So glad I stuck around for the credits "directed by Lazy Michael Zaki" lmao

[@davenportmb]

Amazing end to Part One - can't wait to see more!

[@RKG]

Thanks for the support!

[@CaseyMitsch]

How Rory activates a site of grace with 36k runes, doesn’t take 10 seconds to level up, then proceeds to lose them all is beyond my comprehension. Never change boys.

[@daniellagergren7292]

Just…wow. What a great ride Part 1 has been. Huge thank you and congratulations boys! Truly amazing! 🎉❤

[@Nrazzz22]

What an ending! Thanks so much for the laughs and quality content. Cannot wait for the next installment!

[@BaselessClaimYT]

Enjoy your break (assuming you're all giving yourselves one), that was ace. Looking forward to part 2.

[@grahammalone7473]

Well done! I legitimately waited until the end of the credits just in case there was a hidden teaser or some other kind of bonus content. That's a testament to the quality of the production that I was treating this like a movie. You three should be proud!

[@sveatdutch631]

You should get sponsored by Corona, just seeing you 3 crack some cold ones made me buy whole pack of these.

[@JohnnyNocturne]

watching it right now but thanks so much for an amazing series and cant wait for more

[@Jareon_]

Absolutely fantastic as always, thank you for providing such quality content! Can’t wait for whatever’s next 😁

[@Lady_Vengeance]

34:25 THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR 😂 😂

[@graysonvacco2041]

that was so badass how Jerren jumped in for the final blow! let's go!

[@dgEari]

I remember the videoclips for I'm a slave 4 u and Molin Rouge were Fuego too. Good times

[@osric190]

I love Gav's sip and assessment of beers/alcohol followed by the nod to say that is acceptable. He did it in the Demon Souls series as well. Sword & Fang.

[@beno13]

This series is fantastic and even got me to try the game. Although I think I may need a Krupa and Gav to keep me sane as I’m dreadful 😂

[@therealcozyboy13]

Not the boys walking into a major boss fight with 33k souls😩

[@notoriousdkl1415]

Amazing! What a great way to end part 1, will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of part 2 till then RKG!!!

[@NapnCat]

i don't know why but it just kills me every time the boys do the drunk voices. incredible part 1 finale fellas - eagerly awaiting the return of aunt "tia maria" finchy. 🍤🍤🍤

[@patricoda]

Ah amazing end to part 1! Already full of anticipation for the next!

[@JohnRodger]

Congratulations on just a fantastic Part One!! Your hard work and dedication is valued and I can’t wait until the next part of Aunty Finchy’s misadventures continues!!

[@bossdozz]

Cheers mates 🎉 Congrats on completing this Phase of Elden Ring. Can we all take a moment and really appreciate Rory's gameplay improvement!? I may have missed out on the it growing through the years but the Radahn fight more then anything shows Rory officially Got Gud. Heres to another 60+ episodes and I'll be patiently waiting for the 6 hour Haligtree cut 😂

[@henry-nj8zb]

been watching this in parallel with my own playthrough and got around to beating radahn which means finally finishing part one 🫡 what an achievement this series is, top stuff boys

[@_nui_]

Absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for Part 2!

[@SD199free]

Played through the game twice and first time I’ve heard the lore of Leonard the horse, brilliant work boys

[@junkytboy]

So proud of you boys! Now you are the living legends!

[@lo-keyloki9986]

Switching back to the twinblade had me rolling especially since the mind sword was doing way more damage.

[@connornorcott4422]

It’s that time of the week again!

[@Rorchord]

Getting in Castellan Jerren is like Michael Eavis coming out on stage

[@supremebuffalo6322]

End credits: Elden Ring Director: Lazy Michael Zaki they've done him! one last dig from the boys before closing Part1 hahaha

[@soraidagarcia6992]

Wow I never gave a KZbin video a standing ovation 👏🏻. This was more than a video but pure cinematic gold. Thank you guys for all the hard work you put in this part one. Instant CLASSIC.

[@JAHIDxJD]

Gonna miss this series. Can’t wait for the return 😭

[@landoncook1807]

I do think fhe new sword would have been fine if he wasnt only trying to use the special attack all the time. Although he could have finished him off with a good dentist pun. Missed opportunity. Lovely episode as always

Can’t to see Aunty continuing her journey with a Tia Maria in one hand and a fistful of past their best prawns in the other. Cracking 30 episodes there boys, every single episode was a banger!! Also, absolutely loved the effort that went into into the credits 👏🏼❤

[@maxt5319]

The description is wrong fellas! This Aunty Finchy's third shardbearer: Godrick, Rennala, and Radahn. :) Edit: Finished the episode now. Wow, it's been a while since I've fought Radahn, but I got a very big hit of nostalgia watching your reactions to the festival, the build-up, and then the fight itself. So good! Very big achievement! Over 30 hours of well-made, polished content, and still another 60+ to go? No-one else on KZbin is doing something like this, very very good stuff :)

[@McChuck]

Aunty Finchy stepping away during Coldplay: "I've got to go see a man about a horse."

[@ahmz1404]

Jerren was awaiting a word too

[@michaelpeet5588]

Shout out to Christina Aguilera's "dirty" music video. May it live in our minds forever.

[@MrShikamaruTV]

What a nice wrap up for the first part. The fact that there is an ending to part one motivated me to quickly consume all available episodes. Cool story and an actual structure to the let’s play of this gigantic game! Now back to waiting…

[@-getdeluxe]

For whenever part 2 comes around, can we let Rory know you don't have to dismount to pick up things. I think he didn't used to then randomly started and never stopped. ps have enjoyed all 30 of these bangers so far

[@troy8420]

I feel bad every time he does

[@erko948]

PLEASE. it was pure pain watching him dismount every time he summoned☠️

[@123afish]

The only thing holding this series back from perfection

[@jonnymaddy]

cant believe its been 30 episodes already. Cant wait for part 2 to start but first props on the incredible journey taken so far in part 1! Also the credits at the end absolutely brilliant felt like i was in the Cinema after watching a big blockbuster. Till next time slugs Sword and Fang🍻

[@whipseryname4295]

It is insane that there is such a method to the madness and that Rory has just stumbled into a weapon that works perfectly for his bizzaire build.

[@mitchellcummings4835]

Well I just lost 600k worth of runes and I’m blaming you blokes. I finished ER back in 2022 (platinum via cheesing endings) and never started NG+. You’ve inspired me to do a lore run and I’m keen to play NG+ in the same order as RKG and take way more notice of everything. Just did myself out of 600K at the bottom of the lift at Hogwarts and I reckon I wouldn’t be in this situation if I didn’t love your retry series as much as I do. Keep up the good work 👌

[@jonahmarlow3991]

Been watching from the first upload of PTTs1E1 - almost can’t believe where it’s all come to - smashing season lads 🎉

[@burgundygoat8273]

The emptiness that fills you at the end of an RKG series🥲. But at least Retry Elden Ring will be back🥳

[@kenallsop7502]

Those reference credits absolutely cracked me up 😂 smashing stuff lads. Was always trying to guess when part one would end - I actually thought Krupa might plump a little later than this, but it's a pretty spectacular finale to end on. Until Aunty Finchy returns, we shall remain... constant.

[@samspenceley6374]

Is my memory failing me? I seem to remember a lot of enemies in the castle leading up to Radahn and a boss fight in the area Blaidd and that are waiting. It’s been a while since I’ve played it to be fair but I’m sure I’m not going that mad … even after that last episode

[@dubeolgaming285]

They triggered the Radahn festival before going to the castle because they advanced Ranni's quest, so the enemies+boss in the last open area will be there now, AFTER they have killed radahn. If you got to the castle before triggering the festival you also get all the enemies+boss.

[@Cpt.Cabinet]

Great first act lads, amazing work

[@herrdott8253]
