Final Boss DLC Tips [SPOLIERS]

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Im currently on 9 blessing, not using summons or mimic tear. I am not asking to increase my blessing or using help. I just want to know the best ways to attack and dodge Radhan's second phase attacks

[Dollmaker]

One thing that kinda worked for me is to seriously stay close to him, which allows you to evade some of its aoe spam that "mostly" will appear behind you.

get as close to 20 blessing as possible, dodging into a lot of his attacks and staying close is the best way, dont roll away from him to dodge

[Potato Marshal]

I gave up on my bleed build and just went all in on strength. Colossal weapon + lion's claw ash of war, just throw in a few attacks and he'll stagger for a crit, only need to crit him like 4 times to kill him. Be aggressive and keep his poise damage up, you have hyperarmor during lion's claw animation, try to use it during one of his less damaging attacks/combos. Only other easy strats I've seen are to just parry him, or heavy greatshields + bleed poking weapon.

For specific attacks, the purple meteors I've found way easier to run left or right then jump at the last second instead of rolling. His huge aoe it sometimes might be better to just tank it and heal up in the meantime. For physick flask, I went with the poise break and damage reduction one, saved it for second phase specifically and drank during Radahn's super explosion move.

ive mastered phase 1, 75% of the time i can go hitless. the build im using to do this is: Bloodfiend's Arm and doing charge attacks. the reason its so good is it has over 200 blood loss and i can stagger radhan in 2 hits while doing some incredible damage, main problem is that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ second phase

If you care about spoilers, why are you in a forum that doesn't moderate/mandate the spoiler tag?

Maybe he forgot how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ people are in this cancerous cesspool.

Twitter is a cozy place compared to steam discussions

i personally find him to be harder than malenia, his 1st phase is really easy tho, but miyazaki cooked with this guy, thanks for the help to everyone who gave me some tips

Just do your best to tank through it, you can surprisingly dodge some of his swings with lion's claw ending animation since your character bends down so much. You have to luck through some of it but it's manageable because it should take like 4-5 crits to kill him.

if you care about spoilers and specifically go to a place that only talks about that game's content that's entirely on you my guy

The answer is:
Fingerprint shield + Antspur Rapier
Talismans with holy resistance, reduced damage, improved blocking and stamina regeneration

Armor with as much holy resistance as possible and as heavy as you can wear (to stay medium)

Block whatever he throws at you (and dodge major stamina drains on the block). Poke him in between to trigger scarlet rot. Afterwards keep blocking and dodging until he dies.

As a faith build, 'Lords Divine Fortification' makes the second phase significantly easier. Like, significantly... You will need to kill Malenia to get it but if you can't be bothered, normal Divine Fortification does 35% negation and lasts longer.

60% Holy Damage negation for 70 seconds, longer with Lord's Talisman. +Marika's Braid +20%. +Opaline Hard Tear is another +15%. And if you REALLY want to be safe, eat a Pickled Holy liver for another 25% damage negation. When he does his holy nuke. Just sit in the middle of it and cast your buffs + eat the liver. So 120% holy negation lol. Pretty much all holy damage will do nothing but chip damage. The Holy Nuke will do about 5-10% of your health.

Even if you're not faith and don't want to do buffs, Opaline Hardtear + Marika's Braid + Liver will still do around 60% Holy damage negation.

adding to this, Haligtree Crest Greatshield has 95/94 physical and holy damage negation with sacred infusion, you have to farm it off one specific knight and need 36 str tho
