Hey all I've been getting quite a few comments from some saying that they aren't doing as much damage and have the same exact build. Make sure you are not locking on and aiming the perfume bottle at the ground/in front of their feet so the explosions hit at once! Hope this helps ❤ thank you all for watching. I never imagined this many views on it!
You are correct and I already got him but it was not easy with 1 hand as I am a handicapt. Despite that fact I do not think it is fair that a boss 1 or 2 shots us and we do not get the tools to do the same to him, peace out!
It didn't work for me, the video is not well explained because I have the entire bild pointing at the ground, I don't target it and even so I do very little damage.
@@thecolorsideofthemoon3346 make sure you are striking with the ash of war. it works. during the boss fight she doesn't explicitly say to use the ash of war to attack, but she mentions it is essential to the build earlier in the video. i am on xbox and have never used a weapon ash of war so i had to learn that a left-side button on the controller triggers the ash of war on the main hand (right hand) weapon.

The only thing I felt bitter about in this game was beating the original Radahn on the battlefield before From nerfed him, then everybody beat him, then they buffed him a little bit again. A lot of players don't know what that original Radahn fight was like in 2022, and I'm here to shake my cane about it!
Well I'm not having fun with this boss and isn't that the point of a game? Feel like the completely missed the point of their own game design with this last boss. It's not fun. I even went back to defeat Melania as a way to get a break from him lol
Cheese is the name of the game. I've been gaming for over 30 years now. Finding out how to do stuff like this is the game for me. Congratulations on beating the boss.
I genuinely believe that FromSoft designs their games for the purposes of cheesing. I remember back in Dark Souls 1 facing the sewer dragon, the best strategy was to get lightning grease on your weapon (weak to lightning) and cut off it's tail. Boom, you win. Can even summon npc's to help. Seriously, FromSoft WANTS us to take advantage of these leverages in battle
@@HerMi.T99.9% of attacks you can dodge. Radahn is 100% unfair. Very fun fight though, I’m on my 3rd playthrough of the DLC now. Most of the DLC bosses play like Nioh, or just flat up say “fuck your rules here’s a 27 hit combo”
@@goodhoonter9882 The same case is made for Elden Ring. Lots of bosses have moves you can jump, dodge specifically, or even fully script fights. UNFORTUNATELY, like I said. This dlc and the bosses play like nioh instead of ER. And THAT is the reason why most people are having so much trouble. In Nioh, unless you use cheese, it’s one of the hardest games of the typing. Obviously it’s case by case and it’s personal experience bottom line. For me; Nioh is the hardest(without cheese like sloth and def talisman) Sekiro is the easiest.
I’ve had the urge to cheese but I can’t get myself to do it. I’m over 400 tries and I have to beat this guy with my build no matter how long it takes me. I might be insane 🤷🏼♂️. Your build is very impressive tho.
My favorite DLC video so far - so personal, funny, and helpful. Not sure I’ll use it, but it’s nice to know it’s there - and that even Souls fans can reach their limit. Nice work!
@@giannis7707 I am using it, no chance. 2nd fase it is end of the line max lvl200 max sacru and summon. No chance. If FromSoft nerfs the bottles most of us are f*cked.
@@SimKadesh what do u mean? u cant beat him with bloodfiend arm? have u put it on bleed affinity, i beaten him 2nd try with it, it needs max arcane also
@@giannis7707 Using also bloodfient arc 75 (should be more then enough), the problem is he does not leave alone for 1 second after I spawned, no chance for the mimic etc. Only thing I can do when I spawned is dodging and healing lol. This is no fun anymore and I am used to a lot of bullshit.
Yeah, this boss in my opinion went over the threshold for what's hard but fair in FromSoft games imo. I've managed so far to get within a few hits from defeating the boss and what I did was do the shield build that everyone was doing but I used Mohgs spear and summoned my mimic which would do that blood loss aoe attack from the spear while Radahn was focused on me. I would then get a few hits on him man and managed to do like 10k damage at once when combined with my mimic's attacks. This was very inconsistent and even with my mimic I've still died over 20 times, but I'm determined to eventually get him with it. Thanks for the cheese build though I am sure a lot of people will benefit from it and have no shame in using it.
If you want to do it without any cheese. Here is my advice. I don't think this boss is really bad. He is quite fair actually when you learn it. He is definitely hard. Always remain close to him and dodge around him precisely in the correct direction. I am saying that look at his attacks and dodge how you normally dodge it but around him mostly toward his swipe attacks, so that you will end up behind him. That way, you will not get hit by his light trails. About after image attacks, run perpendicular to him. He will miss every afterimage except the final one. Roll it at the correct time and you will be fine. For the dash one, you had to roll twice. I don't think any of his attacks are undodgeable. He is quite fair actually. It forces you to be more precise and aware of your placement. That's all.
@@HerMi.T Thanks for that I beat him with the shield and Mohgs staff build using my mimic to get the blood loss aoe effect off. He was still very tough and took me around 30 tries. The first phase is quite good but the second phase is just bad boss design. They throw so many light effects on top of his already tough moveset and as if that's not enough you also have worry about the grab attack where Miquella can steal your heart. It's just too much going on and it goes over that tough but fair threshold in the second phase. The best boss in the dlc imo is Messmer The Impaler where his attacks are satisfying to dodge and the snake transitions and attacks are easy to dodge once you get the hang of it. He should of been the bar to meet in terms of boss design for the dlc imo or Bayle the dread but I understand that's a very high bar to attain. I really hope Radahn gets a nerf.
The problem is phase 2. If you’re unlucky with the rng it’s a lot harder. I finally beat him but had to respect to the “poke” build. Shield makes the fight really easy.
the best part about this is that it's not a cheese. This is a legit tactic. They might nerf it, but its not "so we're gonna snipe the boss from outside the arena" or "were gonna have him drop down a hill and buss up his shins"
Just used this 7/4/24 at 6:45 a.m. est (prior to the patch that also released today, unsure if it will affect perfume bottles). Phase 1 my damage was similar to video . Phase 2 I had to spam three more attacks than what was shown in the video. I did equip iron jar aromatic prior to the fight but unsure if that did more harm than good because I forgot you fat roll. If it wasn’t clear you are only using L2 for damage. DO NOT LOCK ON and aim for Radahn’s crusty dusty feet. Thanks for the video I was getting curb stomped every time then after I respeced I got him first try.
I've quite literally never been so thankful for a gaming video. I was getting absolutely decimated by this boss and just killed him in three hits. THANK YOU.
Have they nerfed this already? I have the exact same build with same exact everything, and I’m going nowehere near as much damage. I have all scadutree fragments, same armour, same attributes and I’m still getting one hit killed.
Damn, I got everything and it doesn’t work, it is nerfed? I did something wrong? Got all talisman, the ash of war, rakhasha whatever set, silly hat, perfume 25+ and can't kill him first phase Edit: It doesn’t work because you aiming in the wrong way, aim at the floor, bellow radahn and you will definetly kill him
Nice video . Since Dark Souls 1 I have always loved the 1 hit challenges where you see the bosses die with a single attack. I think you should try using more buffs in the future, both for damage and defense, there are quite a few and they are fun to use
Yesterday after 4 hours trying and learning his patterns I was in the same situation as you, I'm going that same build, he doesn't deserve my samurai swords. xd
Thank you for this. I too was a katana build and I had 0 issues with any of the bosses in the DLC, then came the final boss and I spend 7 hours pulling my hair out. I would get him to phase two and it was over for me in just a couple hits as he hits hard. I was constantly dodging attacks with little option of attacking. So I was on youtube looking at strategy videos and came across yours. So I decided to try this build. And it worked, took him in 3-4 hits. But it still wasnt easy. It took me about 5 more attempts as untargeting him and aiming at the ground was a bit odd. And timing it between his attacks. But I did it. I dont care if I had to respec to do it. This DLC was amazing.
btw just a tip, if you long press (like 2 seconds) the key to switch items, you'll get back to the 1st one in the list (which usually is the healing flask) :)
for everyones information, if you summon thiollier or ansbach the boss get's 60% more health and some ekstra to resistances.. if u summon both it's not just an ekstra 60% but 60% multiplicative.. makes him very VERY hard to stagger and even more of a tank
Just wanted to pop on and say this WORKS! Just did it about an hour ago. To anyone not getting her damage numbers, make sure you actually fill your madness bar, I had to cast Shabriri 2 sometimes 3x. Also do not lock on and make sure you're aiming for the ground in front of his feet. One last thing, this isn't an instant win button, you're still going to have to learn the fight, learn to dodge and look for your openings. Thanks again Ericutz!
I can't thank you enough for this! I was really enjoying my time with this DLC until I got to this boss. I tried so many different weapons and strategies and was about to give up until I came across this video. As a bonus, after the fight, I went back to the base game and obliterated everything in my path (except for Malenia). But yeah, sadly, I don't think I'll beat the DLC ever again.
@@sunnysidee13 well possibly, but my lvl is 321 and all stats but arcane are 50s or higher. The video shows the player's faith at 50, not sure what I'm doing differently.
Carian dueling shield with frost grease both phases, two hefty rot pots at phase change and an uplifting aromatic to tank the big aoe, both shield talismans, stamina reduction and elemental reduction while guarding, two handed sword talisman, two headed turtle talisman. New shield tear in physic. Trade into almost everything with guarded r1s, run left or right for big rock sling and dodge exactly left or right (whatever direction you're running) when they're about to hit. Getting the special blocks isn't very important, go for some kind of defense tear here if you're iffy on that. It is important to keep the shield standard to keep its gaurd up.
Phase 2 is so random… he’s more hyper aggressive and I don’t even have a chance. I think RNG on what he does on his second phase was kind to you on this video…
Right now i use the same Parfume build buuuuut i think i bugged the Boss... Radan won´t get any DMG from me even if i hit the ground below him (25 trys still no dmg😅)
I guess you had different experiences than I did. This is one of those bosses where for me I didn’t care how many times I died cuz I was having a blast. It invoked a feeling where every time I died, I didn’t go “damn what bullshit” Instead I’m constantly in the zone! I also learned that he can be parried and when I found that out I giggled and currently still having a blast. Very interesting build tho Erica! Very impressive! Great video maam
Just got the b*stard using this method! Took a few attempts to get the timings down, but got him in just 3 hits! Amazing damage output! Had real fun putting this build together. Thank you good person 🙏🏻
THANK YOU I failed on this lame, unfun boss for hours and tried like 5 other "broken" builds and nothing worked but this did! Just destroyed him in literally 40 seconds on my second try. For me, Souls games have so much bullshit and jank that using broken builds to fight broken bosses is not only okay it's downright karmic justice.
I have no shame in saying that I was using the Verdigris great shield from Moore with the great shield talisman and the pearl shield talisman to take absolutely zero damage. I know a certain big Twitch streamer has made the great shield build quite popular but I have to admit I've loved running great shields in all Souls games. It's just so much stronger in this game and is really slept on. Sure, it's cheesy but there are way cheesier things in Elden Ring. Definitely try it out with a spear or rapier like the Antspur and guard while poking bosses to death with bleed and scarlet rot lol. It really helps if you run barricade shield on the fingerprint shield with turtle talisman and stam regen in your flask and hold block at all times. I literally almost first tried Consort Radahn with it but took about 5 attempts.
I just beat him today after the update, I wish I had this option because I most definitely would’ve used it. I hated fighting him and I don’t think I will ever fight him again.
More like a clever strategic use of multipe items. Souls games are all about finding out new and clever ways. In my first playthrough, I went for a rot method just remind Radhan of Malenia, but this time I wanted to try something new and this perfumer method is just stupidly funny and fun. :) For anyone wondering, it is working as of today and RL150 with 80 faith.
My first playthrough of dark souls 3 I were a strength build. My second as a mage. I’ve been a mage ever since. I’m a mage in Elden Ring. I find the game easier and a lot more fun that way. I got tired of the dodging and rolling that you do with swords. I find the dlc is meant for magic builds and potions since there are a ton of cookbooks in the dlc.i think they might be trying to push more people towards a magic build since the majority do strength and dex builds.
I had the exact same reaction with this boss, your video came up as a recommendation and I swapped once I found all the components and smashed his face in. I was soo done with the boss and wanted to move on. Thank you to @syrobe for this hilarious build
@@Craggle25 I am doing that and it shows only 16k+ damage only and with one hit I can't get him to the second phase as in the video .. I don't know what's wrong now .. I have to attack and dodge again to take to the 2nd phase
@@gaminglord2138 maybe take a look at your stats, it needs more investment in faith potentially. I also ground out the black head thingy from the original video as I wanted to ensure I could smash his face in. I also spammed the ash of war, not just pressing it once
I just beat Radahn...oh. what a relief. Here is what worked for me(level 238)-- . I just beat Radahn using my standard DLC Boss build.(great all-around build for mobs and all/can be switched with BB or Sacred Relic sword easily with a few tweaks) I used the 1 NPC, Mimic +10, Blasphemous Blade+10, Erdtree Seal +10, shard of alexander, talisman of the dread(buffs BB!), Pearldrake tal +3, Dragonquest greatshield talisman, flame grant me strength, golden vow and a pickled turtle neck. When he uses that golden wave attack, run a way and then jump when you hear the sound. Flask is opaline bubble tear and flame-shr cracked tear. 60 vigor, 80 faith, mind, end, str and dex at 40. Level 238(now 239 after) It took me about 5 attempts today. (Died around 100 times total with 3 different builds) Good luck!
Shield poke with antspur rapier and fingerprint shield (talusmans - dragoncrest great shield, great shield, two headed turtle, pearl shield). Bleed and scarlet rot on rapier. Just watch out for his grab and meteor strike. Enjoy your victory.
I've spent almost as much time fighting Radahn as I spent on the entire rest of the DLC combined. I'm at the point where I'm going to follow your guide. Fuck this shit. This is the most broken unfair boss I've ever encountered in a video game. The difficulty spike goes up 90% from the rest of the game. I beat Bayle the Dragon in 3 tries. I'm probably over 300 tries with Radahn and have only come close twice, and I don't even understand why. I didnt nothing different from the other attempts. It feels like a random mess. I agree with what you said. He isn't worth my time or respect. It's not hard, it's unfair. You fight cheese with cheese.
I hate admitting the move sets of the bosses are random and sad to even say that if a boss can spam a BS move set three times in a row then it was a terrible over sight. If the average person has to build super tanky or op damage rather than out skill the boss then they failed at what we are here to achieve.
She doesn't mention that to get these damage numbers you need to look straight down at the ground so that the effects go off immediately. Otherwise the damage is more random and may not hit like this.
Honestly i have no idea why is everyone hating on this video simply because you defeated radahn. And its funny that you are literally me on how i play the game lol. Also good job beating him and of course thank you so much for thsi amazing tutorial! Thats just amazing. It really really helped and i almost beat him..just a couple more tries and hopefully ill get it. Again thanks and keep it up new sub here! * Edit this had been patched 5th of July after patch 1.12.3 if you have an update and you can pause it I recommend you do until you beat radhan*
I made it through the whole DLC without much problem rockin the great katana with some ranged incants. Then Radahn, I respec'd for him lvl 200 and went 99 endurance, 60 vig, 25 faith, and rest into strength and dex. I pulled out the old reliable shield turtle poke bleed build. Moore's armor, fingerprint shield, Naginata (one of my fav weapons) with rot grease for 1st phase and blood flame for 2nd. It got the job done on 3rd try after getting my ass kicked for hours.
This isn't cheese, this is legitimate. Cheese means playing the game in a way that it wasn't meant to be played. High damage buffs and OP weapons is what Elden Ring is all about. Enjoy and relish in your win. I have not made it to Radahn yet, I'm being slow and want to get all the Scadutree Fragments before I tackle him, but I beat Bayle The Dread in the same way, and Bayle was a tough boss, apparently I saw him on one list he made it to #2 of the hardest bosses. He hits like Darkseid but thankfully I got him. I'll see how bad Radahn is soon enough, he definitely looks the worst.
Thanks for sharing. Yea this boss was the only boss I needed to summon for another player for help. I was using the thorns spell while the other guy had the tank shield.
I actually did the same. On my first playthru, I him solo with Level 14 Skibidi tree. The build I used is Black Steel shield (magic imbue) + Antspur Rapier (poison mist + Bleed imbue). Originally my build was guts sword + lion's claw, but I did like 50-60 tries before I respec'd to the build above. 2nd playthru I used the same build but only with Flame grant me strength + Golden vow. I didn't specc'd into Raksasha and Madness stacking. Was able to defeat him in 5 tries lmao.
I finally killed him! Damage negation+max health physick tears, boiled crab, lords divine protection incant, tree sentinel chest for holy resist, mushroom crown for damage around rot, scarlet aeonia for rot, black blade incant for initial massive hit to hp. Dragoncrest greatshield talisman, golden braid, pealdrake +2, old lord's talisman, Siluria's tree spear and Clawmark Seal +25. Oh, and a lot of farming mats to make holyproof dried livers for phase 2 EDIT: Oh and scadutree level 16, i really didnt want to hunt for more fragments
After so many failed attempts at the final DLC boss, hours spent trying different setups, even the perfume bottles weren't working for me! I searched for an easy start and found the Chicken Nugget Bleed Bonk (that's what I'm calling it, lol). Worked like a charm!
It works, but I had to keep it simple. Do not summon NPCs, do not use mimic tear. Aim completely down at the feet. Phase 2 run to him, again DOWN at the feet, do not lock on. Finally it took a little bit of luck in the try, but two full hits were enough. Attack only with the ash of war.
@@pkshowsupnoobsallday well....at this point, I'm more than OK with that. 🤣 Edit: Just beat him....and I feel like I just got lucky even with my cheesy fingerprint shield/ scarlet aeonia/ bloodfiend blood arm + mimic tear build.
@@killerjoke2945Actually just beat him! Used fingerprint shield/ scarlet aeonia/ bloodfiend blood arm + mimic tear. Tried every tactic but this one was the only thing that worked with my current build. Got so tired of fighting this boss and wasn't even having fun with it (phase 2).
Straight up: im struggling hard against radahn And seeing a video titled “cheese” made my heart sink BUT this is a tactic not a cheese :) congrats on the win Might even do this myself
Nothing to be ashamed of. Some people "git gud" by learning boss moves, others by knowing how to mix/match items/spells/etc. to maximize damage/defense. They're both a form of mastery of the game, since they reflect a lot of knowledge about the game. Different fields of knowledge, but still they're not opening a console and typing a cheat code OR installing a mod giving yourself god mode. Those are the only things I'd consider unfair. But whatever's in the game is fair game from my point of view.
I've seen "Let me solo her" stream and he struggled with armor so I knew us mere mortals would find it almost impossible to have the stamina with lightning fast reflexes to slowly grind the boss down to death. I also like to find exploits in games. I remember in Baldur's Gate 3 there was a vampire boss where I simply cast Daylight and he would get damage over time during the conversation which did not trigger combat so I stood there until he died.
@hallohaun4097 Please update us when you do finally face Radahn. I made the mistake of starting the DLC on my ng+9 character and Radahn was haunting my dreams after that fight
holy fck that damage lmao! That scumbag almost forced me to cheese him with the shield as well but I persevered with my rot Dot and mimic lol. Good job!
Let me preface. I've beaten every souls game multiple times. I hundred-percented Sekiro back in January. This is the first time I have genuinely believed a fight was difficult to the point of not being enjoyable. I've been pushed to the point of anger in many bosses before, who hasn't right? But I was always making progress toward victory, and that made the grind fun. Not this time however. I've switched builds 3; Dex/Int, Strength/Faith, Dex/Bleed all with fully upgraded weapons and I'm barely laying a finger on him. Closest I've gotten to beating him was perfect dodging and hitting him with a glintstone pebble, but as soon as he caught me it was over. He outright never stops attacking and I don't have time to make more than a single light attack (that I trade with) before I have to run again. If it keeps up like this I'll welcome the cheese.
@@funkp0wer Make sure you inflicted madness before you get in and at least 50 dex and 50 faith, aim the ground instead of the boss, then you can end phase one with one hit In phase two, run towards him at the beginning as fast as you can to spray him when he is trying to use the AOE, then you should be one spray away from killing him. Finally, find an opening for that final spray, he has big openings after his femboy grab attack *As for the damage, the position you spray matters a lot, spray his feet Anyway, that’s my opinion or experience?Good luck with your attempts.
@@itsedward062 you, my friend, are a genius! From your advice I nailed him first time!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! She should definitely add this vital piece of info 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿 thank you.
The first 2 minutes of this video describes my adventures in the dlc 100% exactly 😅 I too bit the bullet and went for this approach and, like you, i also beat him in under 60 seconds
100% agree with everything you said. I’ve never used a mage style build in any souls game but after 3 respecs went with the thorn sorcery build and finally beat him yesterday. Was it a valiant win? No. Did he deserve my respect? No.
If it wasn't for his phase 2, I would honestly probably *like* this boss. Parrying his phase 1 has been a lot of fun, even though it's excruciatingly difficult. All this phase 1 moves are basically reasonable. Phase 2 is a series of strobe lights that kill you and I hate it.

Yeah, this boss in my opinion went over the threshold for what's hard but fair in FromSoft games imo. I've managed so far to get within a few hits from defeating the boss and what I did was do the shield build that everyone was doing but I used Mohgs spear and summoned my mimic which would do that blood loss aoe attack from the spear while Radahn was focused on me. I would then get a few hits on him man and managed to do like 10k damage at once when combined with my mimic's attacks. This was very inconsistent and even with my mimic I've still died over 20 times, but I'm determined to eventually get him with it. Thanks for the cheese build though I am sure a lot of people will benefit from it and have no shame in using it.
If you want to do it without any cheese. Here is my advice. I don't think this boss is really bad.
He is quite fair actually when you learn it. He is definitely hard. Always remain close to him and dodge around him precisely in the correct direction.
I am saying that look at his attacks and dodge how you normally dodge it but around him mostly toward his swipe attacks, so that you will end up behind him. That way, you will not get hit by his light trails. About after image attacks, run perpendicular to him.
He will miss every afterimage except the final one. Roll it at the correct time and you will be fine. For the dash one, you had to roll twice. I don't think any of his attacks are undodgeable.
He is quite fair actually. It forces you to be more precise and aware of your placement. That's all.
@@HerMi.T Thanks for that I beat him with the shield and Mohgs staff build using my mimic to get the blood loss aoe effect off. He was still very tough and took me around 30 tries. The first phase is quite good but the second phase is just bad boss design. They throw so many light effects on top of his already tough moveset and as if that's not enough you also have worry about the grab attack where Miquella can steal your heart. It's just too much going on and it goes over that tough but fair threshold in the second phase. The best boss in the dlc imo is Messmer The Impaler where his attacks are satisfying to dodge and the snake transitions and attacks are easy to dodge once you get the hang of it. He should of been the bar to meet in terms of boss design for the dlc imo or Bayle the dread but I understand that's a very high bar to attain. I really hope Radahn gets a nerf.
The problem is phase 2. If you’re unlucky with the rng it’s a lot harder. I finally beat him but had to respect to the “poke” build. Shield makes the fight really easy.
the best part about this is that it's not a cheese. This is a legit tactic.
They might nerf it, but its not "so we're gonna snipe the boss from outside the arena" or "were gonna have him drop down a hill and buss up his shins"
This made me laugh out loud 🤣
My exact thoughts dude. I expected some “ok so he’ll get stuck in a corner” shit. I didnt expect just legit maths
I agree -- it's not *technically* a cheese, but if it kills the boss with minimal effort, I'm down.
I surely miss hoarfrost stomp it was a lot of fun too before you all screamed it into the ether.
Just used this 7/4/24 at 6:45 a.m. est (prior to the patch that also released today, unsure if it will affect perfume bottles). Phase 1 my damage was similar to video . Phase 2 I had to spam three more attacks than what was shown in the video. I did equip iron jar aromatic prior to the fight but unsure if that did more harm than good because I forgot you fat roll. If it wasn’t clear you are only using L2 for damage. DO NOT LOCK ON and aim for Radahn’s crusty dusty feet. Thanks for the video I was getting curb stomped every time then after I respeced I got him first try.
I've quite literally never been so thankful for a gaming video.
I was getting absolutely decimated by this boss and just killed him in three hits.
THANK YOU.
Have they nerfed this already? I have the exact same build with same exact everything, and I’m going nowehere near as much damage. I have all scadutree fragments, same armour, same attributes and I’m still getting one hit killed.
Don't lock on. Aim at his feet. I had the same problem.
@@mikemp71 yeah, figured that out after a million attempts lol. Also added the black dumpling helm to beef madness even more too 🤣
@@mattpeters85 Took me like 45 minutes to farm that stupid helmet. Lol.
I always take the easiest way on bosses, that has always been a part in my gaming experience. Making bosses easy is harder than make them hard.
Damn, I got everything and it doesn’t work, it is nerfed? I did something wrong? Got all talisman, the ash of war, rakhasha whatever set, silly hat, perfume 25+ and can't kill him first phase
Edit: It doesn’t work because you aiming in the wrong way, aim at the floor, bellow radahn and you will definetly kill him
Nice video .
Since Dark Souls 1 I have always loved the 1 hit challenges where you see the bosses die with a single attack.
I think you should try using more buffs in the future, both for damage and defense, there are quite a few and they are fun to use
Yesterday after 4 hours trying and learning his patterns I was in the same situation as you, I'm going that same build, he doesn't deserve my samurai swords. xd
Thank you for this. I too was a katana build and I had 0 issues with any of the bosses in the DLC, then came the final boss and I spend 7 hours pulling my hair out. I would get him to phase two and it was over for me in just a couple hits as he hits hard. I was constantly dodging attacks with little option of attacking. So I was on youtube looking at strategy videos and came across yours. So I decided to try this build. And it worked, took him in 3-4 hits. But it still wasnt easy. It took me about 5 more attempts as untargeting him and aiming at the ground was a bit odd. And timing it between his attacks. But I did it. I dont care if I had to respec to do it. This DLC was amazing.
The T-bag... lmao
I am not getting nearly the amount of damage you are on the same build …
Don't lock on. Aim at the ground in front of his feet.
Same, on PS5, max I got was 7K damage
btw just a tip, if you long press (like 2 seconds) the key to switch items, you'll get back to the 1st one in the list (which usually is the healing flask) :)
Thankyouuuui ❤
for everyones information, if you summon thiollier or ansbach the boss get's 60% more health and some ekstra to resistances.. if u summon both it's not just an ekstra 60% but 60% multiplicative.. makes him very VERY hard to stagger and even more of a tank
When building madness, equip the Black Dumpling helmet, and Madding Hand gloves for extra damage.
Just wanted to pop on and say this WORKS! Just did it about an hour ago. To anyone not getting her damage numbers, make sure you actually fill your madness bar, I had to cast Shabriri 2 sometimes 3x. Also do not lock on and make sure you're aiming for the ground in front of his feet. One last thing, this isn't an instant win button, you're still going to have to learn the fight, learn to dodge and look for your openings. Thanks again Ericutz!
First off, well done. No shame at all. You used the tools that game gave you!
This was very informative. Thank you! Don’t mind the gatekeepers telling you what is legit. Use everything that is available to you and have fun.
I can't thank you enough for this! I was really enjoying my time with this DLC until I got to this boss. I tried so many different weapons and strategies and was about to give up until I came across this video. As a bonus, after the fight, I went back to the base game and obliterated everything in my path (except for Malenia). But yeah, sadly, I don't think I'll beat the DLC ever again.
Ya... I tried using the exact setup in your video and I don't do anywhere close to that dmg....😂
u probably need to lvl up ur stats... maybeur faith is a bit low?
@@sunnysidee13 well possibly, but my lvl is 321 and all stats but arcane are 50s or higher. The video shows the player's faith at 50, not sure what I'm doing differently.
@@ededward5608 Are you locking on? If you are, don't. Aim at his feet. One hit should instantly send the fight into phase 2. I had the same issue.
Carian dueling shield with frost grease both phases, two hefty rot pots at phase change and an uplifting aromatic to tank the big aoe, both shield talismans, stamina reduction and elemental reduction while guarding, two handed sword talisman, two headed turtle talisman. New shield tear in physic. Trade into almost everything with guarded r1s, run left or right for big rock sling and dodge exactly left or right (whatever direction you're running) when they're about to hit. Getting the special blocks isn't very important, go for some kind of defense tear here if you're iffy on that. It is important to keep the shield standard to keep its gaurd up.
This no longer works after patch. They ruined dueling shields.
@@ormrinn Good. Now casuals like you can play the game properly.
Love this video! Just used it with a slight change where I used the mohg blood loss talisman and the seppukku ability to trigger my own blood loss
Wow! You made yourself a god! I’m feeling the pain of this boss at the moment so will definitely give this build a go. Thank you good person! 🙏🏻
A win is a win, good job.
Phase 2 is so random… he’s more hyper aggressive and I don’t even have a chance. I think RNG on what he does on his second phase was kind to you on this video…
Right now i use the same Parfume build buuuuut i think i bugged the Boss... Radan won´t get any DMG from me even if i hit the ground below him (25 trys still no dmg😅)
Great video. I'm no where near Radahn but this was very satisfying to watch.
The big shield and reduvia/antspur rapier with added bleed to the already added rot worked for me.
I guess you had different experiences than I did.
This is one of those bosses where for me I didn’t care how many times I died cuz I was having a blast. It invoked a feeling where every time I died, I didn’t go “damn what bullshit” Instead I’m constantly in the zone!
I also learned that he can be parried and when I found that out I giggled and currently still having a blast.
Very interesting build tho Erica! Very impressive! Great video maam
Yeah he is not really unfair. Every attack can be Dodged.
Just got the b*stard using this method! Took a few attempts to get the timings down, but got him in just 3 hits! Amazing damage output! Had real fun putting this build together. Thank you good person 🙏🏻
THANK YOU I failed on this lame, unfun boss for hours and tried like 5 other "broken" builds and nothing worked but this did! Just destroyed him in literally 40 seconds on my second try.
For me, Souls games have so much bullshit and jank that using broken builds to fight broken bosses is not only okay it's downright karmic justice.
I have no shame in saying that I was using the Verdigris great shield from Moore with the great shield talisman and the pearl shield talisman to take absolutely zero damage. I know a certain big Twitch streamer has made the great shield build quite popular but I have to admit I've loved running great shields in all Souls games. It's just so much stronger in this game and is really slept on. Sure, it's cheesy but there are way cheesier things in Elden Ring. Definitely try it out with a spear or rapier like the Antspur and guard while poking bosses to death with bleed and scarlet rot lol. It really helps if you run barricade shield on the fingerprint shield with turtle talisman and stam regen in your flask and hold block at all times. I literally almost first tried Consort Radahn with it but took about 5 attempts.
I agree 100% with all you said 😂
Instant subscribe. Thank for the video.
I just beat him today after the update, I wish I had this option because I most definitely would’ve used it. I hated fighting him and I don’t think I will ever fight him again.
More like a clever strategic use of multipe items. Souls games are all about finding out new and clever ways. In my first playthrough, I went for a rot method just remind Radhan of Malenia, but this time I wanted to try something new and this perfumer method is just stupidly funny and fun. :) For anyone wondering, it is working as of today and RL150 with 80 faith.
FINALLLYYYY THIS BUILD DID IT FINALLLYYY
I did the fingerprint shield and mohg spear strat but damn that perfume damage is crazy
they patch it
This was patched unfortunately 😢does not work anymore.
To each is own. Took me over 2 hours using backhand blade bleed dex strength build. No summons. Absolutely brutal.
My first playthrough of dark souls 3 I were a strength build. My second as a mage. I’ve been a mage ever since. I’m a mage in Elden Ring. I find the game easier and a lot more fun that way. I got tired of the dodging and rolling that you do with swords. I find the dlc is meant for magic builds and potions since there are a ton of cookbooks in the dlc.i think they might be trying to push more people towards a magic build since the majority do strength and dex builds.
I had the exact same reaction with this boss, your video came up as a recommendation and I swapped once I found all the components and smashed his face in. I was soo done with the boss and wanted to move on. Thank you to @syrobe for this hilarious build
Is this still working? Can you share your stats?
@@gaminglord2138 I beat the boss in around 4 tries as I got the hang of it and killed it in 25-30 seconds

@@Craggle25 I am doing that and it shows only 16k+ damage only and with one hit I can't get him to the second phase as in the video .. I don't know what's wrong now .. I have to attack and dodge again to take to the 2nd phase
@@gaminglord2138 maybe take a look at your stats, it needs more investment in faith potentially. I also ground out the black head thingy from the original video as I wanted to ensure I could smash his face in.
I also spammed the ash of war, not just pressing it once
I just beat Radahn...oh. what a relief. Here is what worked for me(level 238)-- . I just beat Radahn using my standard DLC Boss build.(great all-around build for mobs and all/can be switched with BB or Sacred Relic sword easily with a few tweaks) I used the 1 NPC, Mimic +10, Blasphemous Blade+10, Erdtree Seal +10, shard of alexander, talisman of the dread(buffs BB!), Pearldrake tal +3, Dragonquest greatshield talisman, flame grant me strength, golden vow and a pickled turtle neck. When he uses that golden wave attack, run a way and then jump when you hear the sound. Flask is opaline bubble tear and flame-shr cracked tear. 60 vigor, 80 faith, mind, end, str and dex at 40. Level 238(now 239 after) It took me about 5 attempts today. (Died around 100 times total with 3 different builds) Good luck!
With the perfumer bottle to give me a shield, this was perfect - THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Shield poke with antspur rapier and fingerprint shield (talusmans - dragoncrest great shield, great shield, two headed turtle, pearl shield). Bleed and scarlet rot on rapier. Just watch out for his grab and meteor strike. Enjoy your victory.
Totally agree. This build would’ve been my second choice but I took the thorn sorcery route
This hard boss hard. Finally I use thorn cheese build. Survive casting it all work for me.
I've spent almost as much time fighting Radahn as I spent on the entire rest of the DLC combined. I'm at the point where I'm going to follow your guide. Fuck this shit. This is the most broken unfair boss I've ever encountered in a video game. The difficulty spike goes up 90% from the rest of the game. I beat Bayle the Dragon in 3 tries. I'm probably over 300 tries with Radahn and have only come close twice, and I don't even understand why. I didnt nothing different from the other attempts. It feels like a random mess. I agree with what you said. He isn't worth my time or respect. It's not hard, it's unfair. You fight cheese with cheese.
I hate admitting the move sets of the bosses are random and sad to even say that if a boss can spam a BS move set three times in a row then it was a terrible over sight.
If the average person has to build super tanky or op damage rather than out skill the boss then they failed at what we are here to achieve.
This must not work anymore. I spent like an hour and two Larval Tears replicating this and my old bleed build is just as good with way less work.
Same for me. Just can’t get it to produce that much damage!? 🤷🏾♀️
She doesn't mention that to get these damage numbers you need to look straight down at the ground so that the effects go off immediately. Otherwise the damage is more random and may not hit like this.
@@walboey you sir, are the true elden lorg, A GOD. Thank to you I figure what was wrong
For to further buffs to this build, wear the madding hand in your offhand for 10+ and the black puffball helm.
Honestly i have no idea why is everyone hating on this video simply because you defeated radahn. And its funny that you are literally me on how i play the game lol. Also good job beating him and of course thank you so much for thsi amazing tutorial! Thats just amazing. It really really helped and i almost beat him..just a couple more tries and hopefully ill get it. Again thanks and keep it up new sub here! * Edit this had been patched 5th of July after patch 1.12.3 if you have an update and you can pause it I recommend you do until you beat radhan*
I made it through the whole DLC without much problem rockin the great katana with some ranged incants. Then Radahn, I respec'd for him lvl 200 and went 99 endurance, 60 vig, 25 faith, and rest into strength and dex. I pulled out the old reliable shield turtle poke bleed build. Moore's armor, fingerprint shield, Naginata (one of my fav weapons) with rot grease for 1st phase and blood flame for 2nd. It got the job done on 3rd try after getting my ass kicked for hours.
On the same boat as you and I'm glad this was recommended to me. Can't wait to try it out!
This isn't cheese, this is legitimate. Cheese means playing the game in a way that it wasn't meant to be played. High damage buffs and OP weapons is what Elden Ring is all about. Enjoy and relish in your win. I have not made it to Radahn yet, I'm being slow and want to get all the Scadutree Fragments before I tackle him, but I beat Bayle The Dread in the same way, and Bayle was a tough boss, apparently I saw him on one list he made it to #2 of the hardest bosses. He hits like Darkseid but thankfully I got him. I'll see how bad Radahn is soon enough, he definitely looks the worst.
Thanks for sharing. Yea this boss was the only boss I needed to summon for another player for help. I was using the thorns spell while the other guy had the tank shield.
You saved me from the brink of insanity, thank you 😭
You just killed him?
@@crookers2135 we both died at the same time but I still got the remembrance so it still counts 😅
@nhlcbj nice one, are your scadutree blessings maxed out?
@@crookers2135 yeah, I went in at level 16 but I kept getting massacred
I actually did the same. On my first playthru, I him solo with Level 14 Skibidi tree. The build I used is Black Steel shield (magic imbue) + Antspur Rapier (poison mist + Bleed imbue). Originally my build was guts sword + lion's claw, but I did like 50-60 tries before I respec'd to the build above.
2nd playthru I used the same build but only with Flame grant me strength + Golden vow. I didn't specc'd into Raksasha and Madness stacking. Was able to defeat him in 5 tries lmao.
I finally killed him! Damage negation+max health physick tears, boiled crab, lords divine protection incant, tree sentinel chest for holy resist, mushroom crown for damage around rot, scarlet aeonia for rot, black blade incant for initial massive hit to hp.
Dragoncrest greatshield talisman, golden braid, pealdrake +2, old lord's talisman, Siluria's tree spear and Clawmark Seal +25. Oh, and a lot of farming mats to make holyproof dried livers for phase 2
EDIT: Oh and scadutree level 16, i really didnt want to hunt for more fragments
I think you forgot about the uplifting aromatic perfume consumable that made all the difference for me
Yeah I have some but not a lot so I didn't use them much
She went in and did work with proof Jesus.
After so many failed attempts at the final DLC boss, hours spent trying different setups, even the perfume bottles weren't working for me! I searched for an easy start and found the Chicken Nugget Bleed Bonk (that's what I'm calling it, lol). Worked like a charm!
What is the chicken nugget bleed bonk

It works, but I had to keep it simple. Do not summon NPCs, do not use mimic tear. Aim completely down at the feet. Phase 2 run to him, again DOWN at the feet, do not lock on. Finally it took a little bit of luck in the try, but two full hits were enough. Attack only with the ash of war.

Straight up: im struggling hard against radahn
And seeing a video titled “cheese” made my heart sink
BUT this is a tactic not a cheese :) congrats on the win
Might even do this myself
Great video and that damage is insane. One I get this DLC I will make sure to try this build.
Nothing to be ashamed of. Some people "git gud" by learning boss moves, others by knowing how to mix/match items/spells/etc. to maximize damage/defense. They're both a form of mastery of the game, since they reflect a lot of knowledge about the game. Different fields of knowledge, but still they're not opening a console and typing a cheat code OR installing a mod giving yourself god mode. Those are the only things I'd consider unfair. But whatever's in the game is fair game from my point of view.
Sooo.. this speaks to my soul. I've never buffed outside a boss door. Time to change it up
I've seen "Let me solo her" stream and he struggled with armor so I knew us mere mortals would find it almost impossible to have the stamina with lightning fast reflexes to slowly grind the boss down to death. I also like to find exploits in games. I remember in Baldur's Gate 3 there was a vampire boss where I simply cast Daylight and he would get damage over time during the conversation which did not trigger combat so I stood there until he died.
I used a shield and heavy armor and the impenetrable thorns spell that’s does massive blood loss to beat him.
I respecced like 6 times only to go back to sword/board and finally beat him.
Messmer took over 200 attempts within 3 days to beat. No way Radahn is that hard.
He is worse. I'm having a very hard time with him.
As someone who also struggled a bit with messmer. Radahn is 10x stronger dude, he's a monster
@@bradley6377 messmer is a monster. I think radahn will be a bit easier for me. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I beat Messmer on my 2nd try.Radahn probably took me approx 150 tries.

I did the shield and pokey strat and one shot him. went in with cold Ant Spur applying frost and rot. melted him in less than 2 minutes
holy fck that damage lmao! That scumbag almost forced me to cheese him with the shield as well but I persevered with my rot Dot and mimic lol. Good job!
I doubt anyone can kill him playing with a keyboard/mouse setup! Been at it for many hours. No go!
I used your build to beat the Putrescent Knight. Radahnn will be my final boss. Thanks for tip.
Let me preface. I've beaten every souls game multiple times. I hundred-percented Sekiro back in January. This is the first time I have genuinely believed a fight was difficult to the point of not being enjoyable. I've been pushed to the point of anger in many bosses before, who hasn't right? But I was always making progress toward victory, and that made the grind fun. Not this time however. I've switched builds 3; Dex/Int, Strength/Faith, Dex/Bleed all with fully upgraded weapons and I'm barely laying a finger on him. Closest I've gotten to beating him was perfect dodging and hitting him with a glintstone pebble, but as soon as he caught me it was over. He outright never stops attacking and I don't have time to make more than a single light attack (that I trade with) before I have to run again. If it keeps up like this I'll welcome the cheese.

In phase two, run towards him at the beginning as fast as you can to spray him when he is trying to use the AOE, then you should be one spray away from killing him. Finally, find an opening for that final spray, he has big openings after his femboy grab attack

100% agree with everything you said. I’ve never used a mage style build in any souls game but after 3 respecs went with the thorn sorcery build and finally beat him yesterday. Was it a valiant win? No. Did he deserve my respect? No.
If it wasn't for his phase 2, I would honestly probably *like* this boss. Parrying his phase 1 has been a lot of fun, even though it's excruciatingly difficult. All this phase 1 moves are basically reasonable.
Phase 2 is a series of strobe lights that kill you and I hate it.
