This is genuinely the worst boss in From Software history that I’ve ever had the displeasure of encountering, which usually is such a weird thing to say. Almost every boss feels like this badass encounter that you can learn from with each and every attempt. But this, this was too much. I was hoping I would be able to include a funny twist at the end of this video with me beating Radahn at the very end of the video after all my ranting, but even that I wasn’t able to accomplish.

Use horse
I quite agree with you the fight was epic but the 2nd face was total bullshit especially those rocks at his back that one shot you
I beat this dink without summons
Cope
I want the horse he is riding. Gotta be hands! down! the best mount in game 😂
radahn is hard as balls but i think malenia takes the cake for the hardest in the game
Hard to watch
That’s why I run a hybrid build so I can use that one broken sword with that one broken move… this dude was too easy
Never have I been more thankful to be a faith player with rot attacks
I fought him at level 76 and it was a cake walk lol.
I don’t understand why you’re making him out to be impossible ??? I beat the dude like 5th try and the only thing I had to do is be aggressive and stay rlly close to his belly
Radahn isn't the worst boss in my eyes, but it was still really annoying. Most of his attacks one shot me and his movements are so erratic. And of course the big guy with the ability to one shot has ridiculous combos, like all bosses in Elden Ring. I would no damage him multiple times until phase two, where inevitably those purple homing meteorites would one shot me. Blocking was useless and rolling was no help either. The only reason I won was because for whatever reason those homing meteorites targeted one of my allies. Felt like luck. A cool character in lore and a cool boss fight on paper, but it just didn't hit the mark. I've beaten 4 shardbearers so far and I've only really liked Godrick.
Killed him 3 times on my way to 100% and only died 5 times across those 3 attempts. He can be easily brought down with bleed or ranged magic, and his size gives you a lot to aim at. Some of his moves (like when he slams his swords into the ground) only require one dodge then you can circle to the back and get 2-3 easy hits in.
I had a high Intelligence build with the moon katana and it took me around 10 tries too. 4 deaths to his arrows. 2 deaths to his meteor attack. Rest of the deaths to his swords. I was dishing that damage though. Once I figured out to hop on the horse and dash away on the meteor strike attack it became way easier for me. Definitely my most hated boss so far.
It is not that Bad, You should level up a lot before the fight, and use the great rune to Boost stats
You are kinda doing this low level bruh but good job
Use horse
I got rly lucky and beat him in one hit with the comet azur and drinking my physick that removes mana consumption so i fired it off and held it down till he was dead and he didnt move because he was distracted fight lasted a good minute and a half. Ps you seem pretty under leveled for the fight, health is rly low in the footage.
I love hard battles, I love learning moves to something that feels impossible and feeling yourself slowing getting the hang of it, that’s the whole reason I play souls games. That being said this boss is fucking stupid, it’s not hard in a fun challenging way it’s just boring run around hope you get good rng because there’s nothing to learn. After beating him I didn’t get that feeling of accomplishment that I do with other bosses I just was like thank god show me the rest of the game
Simple answer: Greatsword easy win
git gud
I understand the sentiment but I can’t imagine a scenario where watching the boss fly in as a drone strike and not getting out of the way can be conceived as helpful.
100 % agreement— idk who tested this retarted design, worste deign, shit mechanichs, guy glitches magnetic on the ground— than design a dico ball. this dude made it easy i will not play trough another time. while the boss is nice designed all mechanics suck, being ahead of a kindergarden, the guy with a 300 kilo hammer does 44 dmg a hit. idiotic boss
