How to beat Promised Consort Radahn in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree FromSoftwareSo you\u2019ve reached the last boss of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and now a fully restored Radahn stands before you, here\u2019s how to take him down \u2013 again. Once you climb up the tower and finally catch up to Miquella at the Gate of Divinity, you\u2019ll be confronted by Radahn, alive and in his prime. In truth, this version of Radahn is actually Mohg\u2019s body wearing Radahn\u2019s armor being puppeteered by Miquella. But don\u2019t let that fool you, while he retains some of Mohg, Lord of Blood\u2018s moves, this is very much General Radahn, and deadlier than ever. Here\u2019s how to bring down these two undead demigod brothers, and be warned, this is one of the hardest fights in any Souls game. Promised Consort Radahn location Promised Consort Radahn can be found at the very end of the Enir-Ilim Legacy Dungeon at the top of the tower. You\u2019ll know you\u2019re there as you\u2019ll be able to see the Gate of Divinity at the top of the stairs. You may recognize this from the story trailer and if you\u2019ve been following the plot, you\u2019ll know that this is Miquella\u2019s destination. Enter the arena to trigger the cutscene that reveals Radahn, and then the battle begins. How to beat Promised Consort Radahn Once you get to the top of the tower in Enir-Ilim and can see the Eternity Gate, prepare yourself and enter the arena. Like many Elden Ring bosses, Radahn has two phases and will be joined by Miquella halfway through the battle, making it even harder. While Radahn comes at you with his ferocity, huge swords, and gravitational magic, Miquella will cast Holy incantations against you. Radahn can also use Bloodflame attacks now, inheriting these abilities from Mohg. Phase 1 When the fight begins, Radahn will either stalk toward you slowly or immediately launch himself at you as a gravity comet. If he starts walking, you\u2019ll have a few precious seconds to summon your Spirit Ash, but if he blasts towards you, dodge this attack, get to a safe distance, and then call your Spirit Summons. That\u2019s if you choose to use them. Radahn\u2019s main attacks will be striking wildly with his swords and each blow can do major damage, the good news is that you can block and dodge these, then use the time it takes him to recover to land a few hits on him. However, it\u2019s essential that you don\u2019t get greedy and prepare for his next attack before it\u2019s too late. This is Radahn\u2019s only real gap in his defense when it comes to opportunities to strike him. So hit hard, hit fast, and prepare for his next volley. Those using strength builds should hit him with their heaviest attack as Radahn can be staggered more easily than his hulking frame would have you believe. Magic users and dexterity builds will find this more difficult to pull off, but it\u2019s still advised to hit him with your most powerful moves, rather than going for a fast combo. Radahn is weak against bleed, Scarlet Rot, and piercing attacks, so we found the Antspur rapier (upgraded to bleed) to be a powerful weapon against him, as he was weak against its attacks and the two status aliments it can inflict on him. If you get too far away from him, Radahn can use a gravity spell to pull you towards him. This doesn\u2019t do much damage, but it places you at his mercy and is hard to dodge. The best way to mitigate this risk is to try and stay behind him as much as possible. He\u2019ll also strike you with Bloodflame magic which causes hemorrhage build-up. Luckily, he doesn\u2019t use this attack often enough for bleed to be a real risk, but the initial damage it does is. You\u2019re wiser to protect yourself against physical and Holy damage when facing Radahn. Phase 2: Radahn & Miquella After you get Radahn\u2019s health to 60%, Miquella will join the fight and things will become much harder. On top of Radahn\u2019s relentless assault, you\u2019ll now need to deal with Miquella\u2019s powerful Incantations that do massive Holy AOE damage and never let up throughout this phase. When phase 2 begins, Miquella will lay down a barrage of Holy attacks that reign down from the sky. Our advice is to keep running until you\u2019re out of the splash zone, then rush back to Radahn and strike him with some powerful attacks, sparingly though. Now, Radahn, using Miquella\u2019s power, will be able to blast across the map from one side to the other. Dodge Miquella\u2019s attacks as best you can, get close to Radahn, and get some more hits in. There are various Talismans that protect against Holy damage and adding one of these to your build may save your life in this fight. You can repeat much of the same strategy as before, just now be aware that Miquella can destroy you from a distance. This makes it even more essential to try and stay behind Radahn and strike at his openings. While both enemies strike fast and seemingly without end, they do open themselves up for counterattack quite frequently. Miquella will use an attack when he grabs you and charms you, and then a circlet of light will appear over your head. If this happens twice, the battle will end, and your character will submit to Miquella\u2019s mind control. The message \u201cHeart Stolen\u201d will appear instead of you died. So if this circlet appears, try to stay behind Radahn even more but roll away when he faces you, as one more of these attacks is essentially an instant kill. It\u2019s better to get away from him and make the fight last longer than to risk this danger. If you\u2019re using a summon during this battle, they can be grabbed also. You can\u2019t hurt Radahn during this phase, but the lengthy animation means you can safely use a healing item or spell with a short casting time. This phase is possibly one of the most difficult phases of a boss fight in Elden Ring, any previous Souls game, or any other Soulslike. So don\u2019t beat yourself up if you\u2019re struggling. This really is the pinnacle of difficult boss battles. Use every advantage the game gives you. There are NPC allies, co-op partners, Spirit Summons, and even consider respecing your character to a different build if need be. We\u2019d also recommend not ignoring the Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash blessings to boost you and your Spirit Summon\u2019s stats. These have been added to the game for a reason, and if you\u2019re not at least Scadutree level 10, then you honestly have no business challenging this boss. In truth, we\u2019d recommend being as high a Scadutree level as possible, with 20 being the maximum. This makes the battle much more manageable. If you\u2019re of the view that legitimate tools given to you by the game somehow diminish your achievements, then to overcome this boss you\u2019re not just going to need to \u201cgit gud\u201d, you\u2019re going to need to get exceptional. Of course, like any Souls boss, Radahn and Miquella can be overcome through practice, learning their moves, and sheer tenacity, even if you\u2019re under-leveled, (for example, check out how Kai Cenat managed to do it), but this is going to be a long road. NPC allies If you\u2019ve been following their questlines so that both characters helped you in the battle against The Followers of Miquella, you can summon Thiollier and Ansbach to aid you in this fight. Their summon signs are located outside the boss gate and even though neither NPC will do much damage to Radahn, they\u2019ll serve as useful distractions. Just don\u2019t forget that Radahn receives a health and power buff for each NPC you summon, so it may be worth only bringing one ally. Both characters have their own reasons for wanting to stop Miquella and Radahn, and once the battle is over don\u2019t forget to search the edges of the arena. You\u2019ll notice that both Thiollier and Ansbach were killed during the battle (even if you didn\u2019t summon them). So, take a minute to acknowledge your fallen allies \u2013 then loot their corpses for their armor and weapons. Promised Consort Radahn rewards Messmer drops the following after he\u2019s been slain: 500,000 Runes – Remembrance of a God and a Lord – Miquella\u2019s Circlet – The Remembrance can be traded with Enia (even if she\u2019s dead now) at the Roundtable Hold for either the Greatsword of Radahn (Lord), Greatsword of Radahn (Light), or Light of Miquella Incantation. You\u2019ll also be able to buy Radahn\u2019s Young Lion set from Enia and unlock Ansbach and Thiollier\u2019s gear, should they have come to Enir-Ilim with you. Promised Consort Radahn weaknesses This new version of Radahn is weak against the following attacks and status ailments: Hemorrhage – Scarlet Rot – Pierce – Once Miquella joins the fray, the pair will be strong against Holy damage, so try to avoid attacks that inflict this.
