Rhadan Fight was rather disappointing

[dynatierchen]

I really enjoyed the fight against godric, bcause i had to learn all his attacks and thats what i expect from a souls game

but rhadan is such a big fat idiot, when i lock target on him and ofc i have to get close as meele

i cant see ♥♥♥♥ anymore and the camera freaks out completely

add in all the summons and its even worse lol

i killed him on the third try by just smashing his legs
even without summons it wouldve not made a difference, bcause i just cant see most of his attacks

just didnt feel good

cool start tho when he shoots at you with his bow and the whole festival idea was kinda cool

but overall meh

I couldn't do a damn thing against him and his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tiny horse other than repeatedly get one-shot from 50 feet away. Shamelessly cheesing him by using scarlet rot and then riding around constantly re-summoning the npcs until they eventually caused his ignoble end was the best I've felt in a long time.

Yeah. He's a ridiculous easy boss. I was super disappointed.

You couldn't do a thing because you stayed away from him.
You're suppose to stand toe to toe with him. Takes maybe 5 swings max to kill his horse, then he is stunned for 6 seconds. In that time you can kill him way before phase3 of the fight even starts. The entire fight maybe takes 1:40 seconds if you do it this way.

he probably wouldve not been that easy if i didnt use the summons since they tank and distract him

altho i did basically all the damage

but i just realized really fast that this wont be a fight like vs godric, bcause as i said

i cant see his attack. so i cant patiently study his attacks and learn how to dodge until i beat him

so i was like meh im use the summons

went in 3 times on him during the fight, tried avoiding as many attacks on him as possible altho it was just random basically
and just smashed R1 as much as i could until he was dead

i dont understand why they didnt design him like godric and margit

prob wouldve been enough if they wouldve just made the model smaller

sad... missed opportunity in my oppinion....

He punishes melee hard but tbf most of the bosses in this game do so. His attacks are wide sweep and do insane dmg. Some atks like the 4 floating rocks when he has 25% HP left will 1 shot you. I had 40 vig wearing Blaidd armor and still get 1 tapped.

Completely rolls over like a little dog if you play ranged/status tho. Once again, just like most bosses lol. I genuinely believe they don't play test anything pass Limsgrave and Liurnia. After Capitol the quality of the game nose dives.

That's because you didn't attack his horse.
He is literally the easiest boss in the game if you hit his horse. He falls over and lets you kill him for free without moving. Unless you deal really low damage, then he has time to jump off and start phase3. But I didn't even let him jump. Was lv 36 when I fought him.

i actually dont think he punishes meele that hard
bcause you keep walking below his body between his legs most of his attacks cant hit you
just like with the giants in the beginning of the game

then he starts running in circles with his weird af mini horse and then you can just walk below his body again

how would meele supposed to do it differently anyways i mean
but the model is just too big
its just stupid

all his attacks are fine imho and actually interestend

would love to fight him in godrics size and actually be able to see what he is goin to do

Everybody knows that. The problem is when he hits 25% HP and summons the 4 rocks. If he does that along with the slam that spawns purple orbs and they target you at the same time? You're dead because we don't have enough iframes to roll the last 2 rocks.

If you play ranged you simply do not have to deal with this. Watch Lobo or HappyHobbit. Their attempt to no-hit this guy is based solely on him not using that combo.

Not to mention fighting him melee you'll have to deal with ♥♥♥♥ camera because he's too big. Once again, not a problem if you play ranged.

This game really, really pushes you towards hybrid builds. A lot of bosses have extra gimmicks that'll only punish you for being melee. Like Lich Dragon periodic thunder strike or Godskin flame circle. Those things ain't a factor for spell users.

"Everybody knows that"
Well you clearly don't.
Because when you kill his horse, you have won the fight. I fought him at LOW LV with a claymore and as soon as his horse died. I killed him in the next 5 seconds before he could jump away. I think I had to hit him maybe like 7 or 8 times. Doing it this way you will literally never have to deal with phase 3.

yeah some of the lock on in this game are very questionable

[dynatierchen]

ye man fighting him with range is prob super cool

might do it on my next playthrough

[ReBootXD]

What NPC’s? Did they have summon signs in the boss room or something? I had Wolf Man and Jar Guy lined up for the fight but they never showed up

there are gold summon signs to summon npcs in the arena they can easily be missed for messages though

Radahn's gimmick is that you have a huge number of NPC summons available to summon after entering his boss arena and beginning the fight. Part of the challenge with this fight is running between summon signs to tap them while avoiding Radahn's barrage of ranged attacks.
