Promised Consort Radahn

[Jod]

I've been trying to beat this guy in NG+1 without summon and buff and i already at 50+ death, is it possible to beat this guy 2nd phase at lvl 15 scadutree ?

It’s possible. I just used a Spear and shield

It is, but frankly not worth the effort. There is no pay off, in fact the ending is the quite the opposite

That dlc was great up until that point. Having a great battle like Leda+Friends and then following it up with that phoned in garbage boss fight and ending was more than a little disappointing

i see...

It's possible. I defeated him with Bloodfiend's Arm 24+ Golden vow+Flame grant me strength+ Stance breaking tear and charged attack tear. [NG+1 with 15 scadutree and no summons]

the easiest way I've ever beaten him was with dual wielding arcane infused bloodfiend's fork

enough range and speed to hit him comfortably and bleed messes him up

People have done it at SL0 no scadu with a rusky fork so it's possible yes, but i guess that is neither here nor there not everybody is Ongbal etc.

I did it no Scadu (so it should be similar even if it's NG. Also post nerf too which is where you are at) with Square Off:

Couple of tricks that could be useful. If you don't hit him with a critical hit in the first phase, you'll spawn right to his face at the start at the second phase, and there's a 70% chance he'll do Light of Miquella at close range, which can be easily avoided with Raptor of the Mist or you can just block it with a shield. This gives you the opportunity to land one or even two free heavy hits, or you could even even throw an hefty rot pot (even two if you are lucky) so you can get the build up going already before the fight begins.

A second trick i found useful is that you can easily survive the nuclear bomb with Vow of the Indomitable. It doesn't show on my no Scadu video because i broke his stance before he went flying off but i did it on my Max Blessings video:

So it's basically two free R2 Square Off attacks. Just need to swallow your pride about using this shield weapon art. It's actually possible to roll through it but i found it easier this way.

Greatshield+heavy/thrusting swords
with rot, bleeding and cold.

It's not so hard, when he does the meteor attack you just need to run to the right and jump, then after this attack he will do the "clones attack", you will have to keep running to the right and after 3 clones, the fourth one, will be the real one and the strongest one. You just need to roll in every direction, it will be fine (better if you do roll on the right), if he does the gravital grab, you just need to run back and in the moment he crashes the swords to the ground just jump back, when he does the meteor attack, the one who take half of the map, you just run to the border of the arena.

stay always in front of him (better if you are real close to him like in phase 1 ) every attack will have the light follow up, but all the light attacks will never hit you , that's beacuse the light attack can hit you only if u are like 2 meters from him so just stay under him and the boss fight will be the same as the phase one , he gets only a few new attacks in phase 2 , the clones are pretty easy , the grab and a long new combo. This last combo, you see, he puts the swords high and then he starts to spam attack , to dodge this combo just do two dodges, stay to his left or right, dont stay in front of him, then another double dodge then wait half a second delay and then do another dodge.

My take of the ending is that Radahn never made any promise to Miquella. The latter just wanted to emulate his mother so he invented this reality in his head and his ultimate goal was to annihilate everything so he could live his fantasy forever.

This would also imply Miquella controlled Malenia, the latter becoming the instrument of his plans regarding using Radahn as his "Godfrey" (again, following in the steps of Marika. Notice how both Godrey and Radahn are associated with a lion etc).

The ending is just supposed to show how unreal the whole thing was. We never see Radahn in the final cinematic, do we?

At any rate, the Miquella stuff is the least interesting thing about the DLC. All the stuff with the Hornsent, the Shamans etc was far more fascinating. In fact, the shocker reveal at the end isn't the cinematic that plays after you kill Radahn but the tower of corpses that formed the divine gate.

I love how you guys get upset at 50+ death where for us mere mortals its par for the course. My entire weekend staying with Melania was wonderful...
