DLC Radahn phase 2 just unreasonably too hard

[hunteliar92]

normal heavy armor build, with Malenia's blade, i tried like 5 hrs still didnt beat it.
phase 1 is easy but phase 2 omg Miquella's non stop magic flashbang are slapping my eyes! its unfair! i can't see the move how am i gonna dodge it?
im no pro at souls game but not suck either, this should not be work like that.
update:
i did it after two days, i never stuck at one boss for so long.
one thing really helped is that i opted everything to low, by that i can finally see his move and improve fps drop problem.

I mean the big shield full tank poke with Antspur Rapier makes the final boss a joke from the videos I've seen. But I mean it was more satisfying killing the boss the way I want to but that's partly ego on my part. I didn't want to adapt to the situation and do it my way.

The fight is bad, gameplay is horrible in this fight and not enjoyable, you have to play a certain build to kil him, it’s a shame in a game like this

people seem way too eager to get hit in at bad times, if you dodge most of his attacks well he will pause his hailstorm of attacks long enough for a decent rebuttal.

gameplaywise i think its fine and cinimatic is epic. one thing they do need to fix is the fps diving problem, its really terrible.

There are some attacks that you avoid some times and you don’t exactly at the same position, the range and the combos are too much and the second phase has fps problems, and the attack pattern is really dificult to catch, also he seems to have some attacks that make him hit you even when you keep rolling after you evade the first attack wich is in my opinion a poorly designed in gameplay terms

i guess you are right. i had the same experience and its annoying. i always use both shield and dodge in souls game, so this is still okay for me. if you are a dodge-only player, this would be really a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss fight.

Hey do me a favor and keep your fragile ego out of a constructive conversation please

He absolutely is unreasonably hard because he isn't even a side boss. I didn't care how hard Malenia was because she was optional. I shouldn't have to fight such a hard boss when it is by far the hardest boss they've ever made to finish the dlc.

I used the same build I used the whole game. A big ass sword

That's kind of entitled... :/

does this boss have a seizure warning or anything? I'm not normally susceptible to issues from visuals, but that 2nd phase consistently gives me a migraine

[Wanderer]

I killed him on attempt number 4. Just relax, go touch grass, calm down and try again. yeesh

Try black steel shield or the Finger Print shield and then grab the antspur rapier. Equip the two headed turtle talisman for stam regen (dlc item), then grab the guard boost talisman, health boost talisman, and the erdtree favor +2. It seems really boring but it was the best way for me now that they patched the rolling spark cheese. So tldr; poke with small weapon for status build up and hide behind shield. Oh also helps to have some healing spells to save on your flasks if your build allows it. NG+4 was a nightmare of a fight.

His phase 2 is an eye sore. Literally.
