Radagon and the Elden Beast hate fire, especially black fire. Ash of War: Black Flame Tornado on a +25 short spear is what I used. The art took away 1/3 of their health. Wasn't very difficult to land every hit, too.

@Dead Radagon doesn't have a weakness. Just don't use holy damage and you'll be fine. Holy damage heals the Elden beast

FYI it appears that Rotbone Arrows don't proc scarlet rot on Radahn. You need to find another way.

Kinda sucks if you didn't build arcane/faith since rotten breathe seems to be the only way to stay sane in that fight.
