Radahn is such a terrible boss fight

[CtenosaurOaxacana]

Update:
Finally beat Radahn.
My lvl was 45, vigor was 24, and I mostly used a +16 short bow spamming barrage w/ blood arrows, to proc hemorrhage.

I still absolutely hate how random and uncertain this fight can turn out every time, because of all the AI. If I wanted to simulate a chaotic pvp battle with unreliable co-op partners I'd go do that instead.

It would be a lot more tolerable if the friendly AI just auto-respawned, and I didn't have to go try to find the idiots' randomly placed summon spots every time they died.


Three big fat reasons:

1) Worthless idiot AI 'allies' that do insignificant damage, & die often + easily.

2) Lousy boss doesn't give a damn about those 'allies' half the time, making their one decent use as distracting cannon fodder worthless

3) So many potentially 1-hit KO moves in 2nd phase, unless of course you just farm runes and lvl your stupid vigor more.

Agree it was pretty dumb giving everyone 9+ npc summons just to watch them all get aoe in one or two hits after doing a grand total of 10 damage. Kinda a cruel joke. lol

Sounds like you just really bad at the game ngl. If hes that hard just ride on your horse, use scarlot rot on him and let the summons do all the damage.

The summons aren’t there to do damage they are a gimmick distraction intended to Meat shield while the player does damage. You can summon in two players while you are still on the beach as well as the NPCs and that will help.

Better nerf him more then

do it solo and be near him its much less hectic fight then.

You can even summon them again and they kill him for you 🤦‍♂️
This boss is a joke.

[Dr.Abscondus]

The allies can kill him for you if you take the time. You just need patience, awareness of the battlefield, and a fast horse. He doesn't need a nerf.

I thought it was pretty easy due to the summons. Actually got him second try while i basically let the summons do all the work. I had to resummon them like 2-3 times but it worked out well for me.

[Yeriho]

I missed these threads, lol hahahaha yes Radahn is back bb

[Adrian]

Also what is your vigor? Imo having enough vigor is a must have for elden ring..
