radagon is worse than elden beast

[Jzson]

title, needed to vent. common opinion is wrong. every single radagon attack is bs and elden beast is climactic and challenging while still being fair

[Amins]

Strongly disagree. Radagon is super easy to beat. Not only can he be parried, but he can easily be pummeled into submission with blunt weapons. Elden Beast still has the least resistance to blunt, but is constantly hopping around like Bugs Bunny and showering you with unavoidable holy shots. Still easy enough to beat if you just beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of it before it can do anything, but if you give it the chance, it will make things a hard time.

i think the elden beast ranged attacks were far more fair than radagon's. one is jump rope, one is 4 easy dodges, and one is running for 5 seconds, had no issue with those moves in my 3 fights against him. whereas radagon is like aimbotting you with his constant worldwide aoes, and no time to breathe if u need to heal because of his immediate ranged attacks

can't comment on parrying because i tried it like 20 times in the tutorial and only got it like 3 times lmafo, spent the rest of the game dodging

He was nerfed to the ground already and is easy

[mpcgannon]

False

Yeah, THOSE attacks from Elden Beast are easy to predict. But I'm talking about Elden Stars and whatever you call the other one that's basically the same thing. The homing balls of holy sparks that just chase you down forever and you can't outrun while EB's also tossing more holy slashes at you. Don't got the holy resist and you're just screwed.

Radagon is highly predictable with his attacks. Cudgel swings are always in the same pattern and easy to dodge into and punish him from behind. The earthquake groundpounds can easily be jumped over and even countered with a jumping attack. That airstrike halfway through the fight is the best one because it leaves him vulnerable on the ground for a significant amount of time, and if you do enough damage, he follows up with his 1/3 health triple groundpound, which again is easy to jump through and punish him while he's vulnerable for a solid three to five seconds. Poise breaks make the fight even more of a breeze by just pounding him in the face fast enough where he's forced to do his guaranteed attacks at those specific stages of the fight.

I dont agree, also Radagon is not even "hard" while Elden Beast they allopwed (after a long time) Torrent to be used, without it Elden Beast was not hard at all but was a total nuisance.

Ayyyyyyy!

Have to disagree, simply because from my experience of No-hitting Godfrey his attacks feel the same in the sense of pattern, I must say the Elden Ring Gold Breaker is a very tough move to understand but not that hard when you get the habit.
I’m not saying this because I’ve no hit other bosses and I’m proposing that I’m “better” I’m saying this from studying the move set of Godfrey.

You can just jump over almost any of his attacks. In fact most people don't seem to realize how much you can jump over almost anyone's attacks in this game.

Personally I find rolling toward the attacker is easier than jumping. Jumping timing is a bit awkward for me. Like radagon wave of light for example. I swear I still get hit anyways everytime I jump. But once I tried the roll forward not backward method, I never get hit by the wave anymore

Elden beast is easy, radagon is easy, soldier of godrick, now that's a challenging boss

[marek.jop1]

Both are doable

[CazadorDeLobo]

I spammed Pest Threads the last time I fought him, I remember now.

He ate like 10k damage off of one FP bar

That's also the incant I used to kill Elden Beast without taking damage. It's uh... busted.

There's enough busted stuff that the busted bosses become technically feasible.
