starscourge radahn

[Siett]

this boss is WAY over tuned.... His movement needs to be slowed about 10% and the rang of his abilities needs to be brought down a bit as well. This boss is a major brick wall and halts progression until it is beaten....

[Dollmaker]

I actually didnt found him that hard.

Specially with the help of the NPC summons (besides Patches, screw that coward lol)

[Dollmaker]

If you want an actual BS boss, look at the wannabe Blue Man Group in one of the cave dungeons...

Three bosses, all require strike to do any significant dmg, all do rot, one is constantly spamming hard to dodge spells, the spear is constantly on you giving little room to do anything, and the last one basically throws Bonewheels at you.

THAT boss was actual BS

[Siett]

No ilthis boss is bs and it seems the only easy way to kill him is a bleed build..... so since I'm not playing that.... well yeah. Oh and keep the get good or it wasn't that hard to yourself there are many many many people struggling with this boss. Oh the 3 crystalline boss fight is optional this one isnt.

[mewlynx]

I think he could do with a slight damage nerf on some of his basic attack chains, but otherwise the fight just suffers from being designed with horseback and summons in mind. half of what you suggested probably wouldn't even matter

[Siett]

i found it very hard even on horseback with the summons. they do hardly any damage at all, it wouldnt be that big of an issue if you could also use your specters i guess.

[Siett]

only 12% of players have beat him.... wow that says a bunch.

[Tomatokek]

I beat him. The trick is taking it slow. circle around him on the horse while keeping as many summons up as possible shooting him with arrows or magic. No idea how to do it close range.

[oat]

LULW i literally watched a streamer to prove to chat it was to easy with summons have the summons kill the entire boss. He only did the last strike. if you really want to beat him, do that.

[Nerevar]

wait till you find malenia. his counterpart from the trailer. yes you can find and fight her. yes you get her armor and her katana. hes the fight is 100% anime. yes she is harder than radahn. she heals with each attack. she causes scarlet rot.

and she is a tail lategame hidden boss that is optional. means you cannot overgear her upgrade wise. unlike radahn which you just destroy with max upgrades.

only casuls summon for radahn btw. he is beatable with any summon. same for any boss. i never used spirits so far. not even once. and the bosses are still beatable. and i am nowhere near an expert player myself.

[Abbadon]

Well not fighting him doesn't really block progression, you can go and fight any other shardbearer to unlock the ending, Radahn and the other lords are optional. Although I do agree. He is suuuuuper strong. I was only able to beat him with summons & the grace of god lol

[Siett]

Well I tried the npc thing it didn't work for me. They kept dying and I kept resummoning them but they never got him to the 2nd phase. I was lucky enough to get 2 players to help out and I'm glad I did. This boss is trash..... once again only 12% of players have beaten him. 12% of 800k o.0 only 12%

[sumolagann]

I fought him solo no horse and it took 2 hours, I probably should have used the horse lol. Like the other poster said, probably designed for horse.

[Yok 2D God]

I was 40+ hours in before I even met the boss, so it's not that big of a surprise when not too many players have reached the boss yet. You could wander around for days without ever hearing about him.

I really enjoyed the fight, took me also an hour or 2 around the mid 60s with a greatsword build but the game won't get any easier after Radahn...

I feel like strength builds have always been the hardest way to fight bosses in the souls series, so yea.

[Ranch]

I read that using this dragon scarlet rot ability works. But it def got patched because it doesnt work right now. Ive hear bleed might work im going to try that one

[grant]

The fight is a breeze, he only has one ability you need to worry about. It's the gravity magic in phase 2 where he summons meteors.. for some reason that was one shotting me. I think I did the fight at level 30 or 35. The key is to get off your horse and dodge his attacks. That way you find the actual attack window to chip him down in.

Love the fantasy and lore of the fight. The way phase 2 starts is sick. Radhan is a very fair encounter when compared to some of the story stuff you will deal with later.
