@@thehighground1226 yeah it’s all super cool, it’s also the least fun boss I’ve ever played. Radagon is way cooler imo. Fighting the guy who we first saw years ago in the reveal trailer and having context for it now is dope af but it feels pushed aside by this big random flashy spectacle monster and now radagon is a sword. Idk just comes off a bit try hard. Would have been way cooler and thematically consistent if it was like radagon first phase then marika second, or radagon gaining attacks from a marika themed moveset, just random thoughts but idk. Elden beast is cool but not fun and comes across a little tryhard when these games typically end with relatively subdued and more emotionally thematic even if challenging fights like Gwynn, soul of cinder, aldia, even isshin who while extremely challenging is still just an old man in a lonely overgrown field honoring is grandsons dying wish. I still appreciate the work that went into elden beast I just have mixed feelings and hate fighting it.
@@callumcranstoun9067 I just reached this boss tonight around 3AM. Tried him twice and I’m like “Yea, I have work in 5 hours. Let’s deal with this tomorrow.” Lol
@@ExpiredAmmonia the weird thing is I hit NG+ and got it on the third go! Just took me a long time to master. And funny enough I find Radagon harder than Elden beast
Thing i hate about these big bosses is 90% of the time u dont even know wtf is happening above you. You just have to pray nothing hits u while ur charging at them. Same thing with the dragons and the giants.
The most dangerous thing about this boss are its combo attacks. Most times I died to elden stars, immediately followed by the starfall attack, followed by sword attacks.
yes, u are right, i wiped maybe 300 times on last boss (first and second face) but from those 300 is 200 cuz of this what u are talking....(+ bug of getting hp back cuz of black knife....so much bugs in this game)
I think they’ve made it a scripted event once it goes beneath half health. I beat it with little trouble on my 3rd attempt a few weeks back because it never did this combo, but ever since the latest update, it always does it once I get it below half health. I’ve tried everything I can to try and avoid it, but nothing seems to work.
Don't know if it's patched he's yet but for the first part as you are loading in and radagon is turning if you rush to his right your left of his body and stop right behind him he turns and freezes
Hey guys, do yourselves a favor and get yourself the Pearldrake +2 and Haligdrake +2 talismans. They stack. And consider using a physick flask with health regen and damage negation (the boosted damage negation one, not the one hit one). You will negate roughly 50% holy damage if you also have decent armor, made the spells it casts not take out most of my health.
Elden Stars is what constantly kills me. They last close to 30 seconds. However as you said its best watch for the boss's attacks. There was one I found that running towards the boss helped a little during it
Tbh the Ash of War of Maliketh's weapon works rly well, as it deals percentage dmg and the boss is slow enough so that you can hit it. The issue is, you have to switch the weapon between the Radagon and Elden Beast fight, as it is not too useful against Radagon, who is pretty fast
There is one attack the Elden Beast does where it creates this glowing comet thing that follows you around and fires tiny sparks at you and I have no clue how to avoid that.
If it wasn’t for the triple nut punch of Maliketh, Godfrey, and Radagon - I might be enjoying this fight a lot more. Edit: I’ve also quite enjoyed doing these fights blind but when you have to fight an entire boss just to get destroyed by a 1-shot grab in the 2nd form, it makes learning the encounter a lot less fun.
Im glad im not the only one, I think the endgame wasnt paced well. Instead of having this victorious final lap, you encounter boss after boss that you’ll have to spend hours in some cases to beat. I love the bosses but so many tough ones at the end
Elden stars incantation must be the most useless thing in the game for the player, but when elden beast casts it you just can't see it doing other attacks\get staggered and die.
Bloodhound step, utilising both targeted and untargeted, makes positioning much easier for the beast. Getting through those rune arcs, clouds, rings, getting yourself behind it's tail. If you don't have much fp, consider the talisman you can buy from Iji (after helping blaidd and mentioning it to him) which lowers skill consumption. Just don't forget that sometimes you still have to roll. Bstep isn't a replacement...
Yeah as soon as the cheese videos begin with “get this magic and have this ability.” Im like okay but i dont use magic and i dont have any of that stuff.
Thank you, idk why my gameplay gets so much better when someone explains somthing that I already know about but this is my second time watching you on my second run of the game and both times I watched you I beat both bosses right after.
For anyone wondering how to avoid the star attack. There's a bubble tear called Crimsonwhorl which you sock into the wondrous physic. It doesn't only negate the damage completely but also makes the stars heal you instead of damaging
Thank you for this guide. Radagon was my main problem, the Elden Beast was just annoying for running around. I had to go in there with a full chonky juggernaut suit plus greatshield and poke-a-thrusty-stick in hand, but it worked.
Man, radagon is a struggle if you use a power stanced UGS build like a do. His first phase is pretty easy, but once he starts to teleport around, its very hard to hit him
Man this boss has been my worst nightmare. I thought malenia was hard. The second phase kills my flasks I never have enough left. Unless I have a perfect run then I have to rely if I can perfect dodge everything sometimes I forget all the moves the 2nd phase has.
Hey johnny, I have used many of your guides to get through many particular bosses, and after 2 years i have finally completed this game, just want to tell you that if it weren't for some of your guides i would have never made it through, thanks a lot !
New to your channel, but definitely have to commend you on the quality of your content! I'm glad I got to briefly join your stream of this fight the other night, cheers - and thanks for all you do 🍻
Johnny thank you so much for all your videos, you've been the first one I've come to every time I've been really stuck and here I am at the last boss video again! When I beat him it'll be in no small thanks to you 😁
I got past this at 115 and respec-ing to pump up Intel to jack frost burst damage on both these guys with the mimic tear. Still a tough fight! You may want to mention the talisman that soaks up holy damage - in the endurance fest that is the elden beast fight it helps a lot at elden beast, since it’s almost pure holy damage.
Thanks for the tip, was able to beat him with the Haligdrake Talisman +2. He was doing way too much damage with those spammy AOE attacks I couldn't dodge roll through, and then I would run out of flasks.
Seriously this boss should have a checkpoint after Radagan, not only are both fights highly frustrating especially the beast, but also the damn slow door transition and cutscenes which are slow to skip adding to the frustraton levels. This fight could of been so much cooler and meaningful but they decided to do the typical Fromsoft and add silly op attacks and frustration rather than meaningful encounters.
I feel you…been trying to kill Radagon. Then I have to redo it all over again when Elden Beast kills me right away. I’ve only gotten Radagon killed twice in 1.5 hrs. Been stuck here 😢 and those cut scenes are soo annoying.
@@SuzyW0ozy absolutely. I managed to beat it today finally. It's just all luck lol, sometimes the bosses don't seem as aggressive as other runs, sometimes your summons don't do shit other times they are destroyers.
These guides have been fantastic helps in an endless list of cheeses, although there's one thing I didn't see here. How do you dodge the homing star orb? That thing just keeps coming.
I got SUPER lucky this attempt and it just never came out. I'm wondering if it's like Rykard's head burial attack, where it can't be dodged, but can be prevented. Any attempt where Elden Stars did come out, I just tried my best to run away from it and out-heal the damage. I wish I had better advice, truly. I think staying close to the boss whenever possible may prevent it from being cast.
@@Averagedrummer00pt elden beast is such a let down of a final boss, I hope they nerf his golden orb attack that constantly spews out little ones from a larger one, if you don’t have a summon it’s nearly impossible to not die from it
Honestly so so disappointing. Godfrey was awesome, Radagon was really cool and my anticipation for the second phase jut kinda fizzled when I realized how this fight was gonna play out. Almost unbelievable that they decided to just go with another giant boss that flies and teleports around as the final fight.
2:20 When he is preparing this charge attack, just watch his left foot (your right, his left). When that foot reaches the apex as he walks toward you, that's the cue to dodge. Once you get it down, it's the attack you wanna see the most since it's so easy to dodge and punish.
Fight is driving me insane. I think I have his move set down then he mixes it up. I don’t want to use a summon but these last bosses from Fire Giant forward haven’t been enjoyable besides Godfrey and Maliketh.
Sadly this does not help me whatsoever. I've done less than 10 attempts and had a run where I beat Radagon with 9 flasks left. And before that I had 1 where I had only 2 flasks left so I figure I try learn Elden Beast on my first attempt but actually dealt 60% so figured I can do it once I had 9 flasks. Was doing well until Elden Beast did some bullshit yellow attack that just tracks you for an hour while you try to get away from that and dodge that the Elden Beast continues doing other attacks, it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in any of their games. Great game but man Malenia bs Flurry attack and now this boss with a bs attack really soured the end game for me as a player who loves the games for the boss fights exclusively.
Congratulations on finishing the game! I hope it inspires you to try out the other games in From Software's catalogue. And thank you for the Super Thanks!!!!
you were spared an attack where he sends out a bubble of light that follows you and continues to spurt out guided missiles which lasts for quite a bit. the boss also stopped to swing his sword more than usual. good rng tbh.
I noticed that if you stay close to the boss, the odds of it casting Elden Stars is lower. I could be wrong though, as I've watched a lot of no-hit runs since making this guide, and the runners always reset once he casts the spell, and it's almost expected that they're going to have to attempt it a few times because of it. So yea, there's definitely RNG, but I felt like I was able to manipulate it a bit.
Good video man! Was glad to see a 100% solo guide. I was getting tired of looking up guides and then people just used spirit ashes haha (nothing wrong with using them if you want to but don’t make a guide with them ya feel me lol)
After 150+ hours I’m not in a hurry to revisit this game after beating Malenia and this boss. 10/10 for sure but these bosses are brutal. At least you can make a few mistakes with Isshin, Soul of Cinder, Gerhman, Moon Pressence, Friede, Orphan, whoever. These endgame bosses just swarm you and their combos will pretty much one shot you if you get caught in them and they have a LOT of combination attacks. I’m in the middle of new game+ but I’m mentally exhausted. Gonna take a break and play Kirby lol.
Am I the only one who finds Radagon to be the most annoying boss in the game? His move set is so fucking annoying and the timing never stays consistent so you can't get in the zone, feels like a constant start stop bullshit. Elden beast I've only died to now that im on NG+2 and his damage is through the fucking roof.
it is it has a faster hoarfrost stomp than us. can teleport. i can totally solo radagon alone still its teleport and the lightning bullet is BS.... but the elden beast after that is just pure bs with heat seeking missiles of holiness.
Epic 😃 I managed to down the Elden Beast after watching this guide. Golden Greatshield + fiery Blasphemous Blade build :) I’m around level 170, with 60 vigor, 48 endurance, 34 Strength, 27 mind, & 46 faith. This game’s my new favourite, & I’m looking forward to Shadow of the Erdtree ☮️❤️Thanks again Johnny, & Elden Ring’s creators. I’m watching the credits now 🙏🏽
He also very rarely will use a grab attack too where he picks you up in a golden orb and shoot like 20 golden spears into you and then blow you up in his hand. I've only seen him do it like 4-5 times total in the 13 journeys I have done so far and the countless times I have helped people beat it in Co-Op. It hurts pretty bad.
this is quite literally the worst boss fight ever created along with fighting characters with aoe attacks on every default attack you have to fight the fucking camera
The godskin peeler’s black flame spiral does a surprisingly hefty amount of damage, I beat it in like 3 tries. Granted I did have to grind to lvl 160 first lmao
I absolutely hate this battle! Bosses where I spend the entire "fight" chasing the enemy make me want to uninstall the game. The Elden Beast is easily the worst boss in the game and after more than 20 failed attempts I have decided to take a break from this game for a while. The irony is that Malenia took 2 weeks and well over 100 attempts to beat, but I didn't get nearly as upset because she was fun to fight.
He did a dragging backspin that I avoided and before I could stand back up from the roll or he even finished that attack, in a motion I had to record and play back to follow he stepped forward faster than a bloodhound step and hit me with his knee while releasing an AOE attack. The most obnoxious attack I have ever witnessed, hope it was a glitch.
After losing to Godfrey twice I ended up killing every single boss I could find and stacked up as much power as I could and maxed out up to +9 or +24 about 10 different weapons to test different strategies out, I ended up searching every inch of the map for scarabs and got a bunch of different ashes of war. Needless to say, I destroyed Godfrey and destroyed this boss after 5 attempts, I died to radagon, managed to deal with him on my second try, got destroyed by Elden stars, but every other move wasn't too bad. Same thing happened twice more and then I killed the Elden Beast. Godfrey scared me more than he really should have.
It rook me 9 hours to kill Elden Beast. I think I got it's moves after 2 hours. It wasn't the problem. The problem is I kept running more then I actually fought it. I hope second time I will be faster
Third time back to this channel for boss tips 100% all the games But elden ring bosses have to many mix ups and delays for me, can't grasp a good rhythm like I did in prior games, i fluke some of them Also that teleport is busted, you miss a hit and teleports back onto you at the end of your swing
100% agree with you! I played and loved every Fromsoft game, but in this game certain bosses have weird pattern and attacks! Anyway still a great game!
@@TomTom-me5hm no it definitely is, ive finished it now loved it But definitely boss design a step back for me Even compared to DS3 which is nost similar, Friede or Gael 🙏🙏🙏
@@ryanbarry34 You are right! But i dont know what it is i had an easier time with friede, gael even orphan of kos than most of the bosses from elden ring!
@@TomTom-me5hm its mixups and delays mostly and how they move into eachother, if you imagine each move like a tree graph they can split into different variations depending on your spacing, inputs, or just chance. Orphan and Friede have more or less set move sets you can learn and master Its almost like they thought it an evolution of the design complexity wise I'm not a fan personally but I'm not sure it will revert in future sadly
Trouble is if you struggle with phase 1 and end up popping too many flasks you’re fucked. The key to success with this boss is absolutely mastering Radagon first but that’s very difficult.
For this fight I used the giant crusher with royal knight resolve on heavy affinity plus 25 with 60 strength , that particular ash raises the next attack by 80% and without it the hammer already hits for almost 900 attack and I also had the jump talisman boost on so it took 4 jump attacks on radagaon to Kill him but I did have an summon distracting him which died in that first phase But same Strat for Elden beast and I had no summon, I would use royal knight resolve then chase it down and do a jump attack with two handing and then do another and if you can get a third it will stagger if not just run away and let your stamina regen, I staggered the beast twice and riposte and it was over I beat those bosses first try with this Strat but it did require a mimic tear in phase 1
One advice i have for everyone struggling with the last phase. Try to always stay behind him and attack him there. And once he starts with the rings, run as far away from him as you can.
10% fighting, 90% running after it.. this fight is so tedious
i agree, but its so beautiful! Espeacally the animations, the arena and the music
absolute time wasting boss like a hell of a lot of the diluted, quantity over quality boss fights in this overly ambitious game

Don’t lock onto the enemy and instead watch their movements to know what attack they will do 👍

Mimic Tear makes the fight easy
Hey guys, do yourselves a favor and get yourself the Pearldrake +2 and Haligdrake +2 talismans. They stack. And consider using a physick flask with health regen and damage negation (the boosted damage negation one, not the one hit one). You will negate roughly 50% holy damage if you also have decent armor, made the spells it casts not take out most of my health.

@@piotrdabrowski2780 I spent way more lmfao maybe I should give this a try
Best advice I have seen!
So many hammer swings that look the damn same but have wildly different timings
Hated that aspect of the fight
Elden Stars is what constantly kills me. They last close to 30 seconds. However as you said its best watch for the boss's attacks. There was one I found that running towards the boss helped a little during it
Use godly holy fortification for holy damage negation
They gave the beast way too much health. The fight would’ve still been very difficult but fair.
I wish it had less resistantce
Tbh the Ash of War of Maliketh's weapon works rly well, as it deals percentage dmg and the boss is slow enough so that you can hit it. The issue is, you have to switch the weapon between the Radagon and Elden Beast fight, as it is not too useful against Radagon, who is pretty fast
it would be easier if it couldn't throw out every incantation it had at once with absolutely no delay
Thanks
There is one attack the Elden Beast does where it creates this glowing comet thing that follows you around and fires tiny sparks at you and I have no clue how to avoid that.
he talks about it at 8:15 its called eldin stars
yeah as soon as he starts that its game over for me, such a cheap shot
roll like a madman and hope your health bar was full beforehand.

Of course the room with the runes that dropped is sealed off. I would have liked those runes.
I won a similar way with a "tie" against margit lol
Lucky, had Godfrey and morgot denied atleast once
2:20 When he is preparing this charge attack, just watch his left foot (your right, his left). When that foot reaches the apex as he walks toward you, that's the cue to dodge. Once you get it down, it's the attack you wanna see the most since it's so easy to dodge and punish.
I’ve been stuck on the Elden beast for 3 days I’m positive I just can’t do it lol
When he flies in the air and slams, it literally always hits me no matter what.
Fight is driving me insane. I think I have his move set down then he mixes it up. I don’t want to use a summon but these last bosses from Fire Giant forward haven’t been enjoyable besides Godfrey and Maliketh.
Serioisly like, ds2 director went crazy
This helped a lot dude, I got so nervous in the second phase I couldn't focus on its attack or how to avoid them.
I just want to beat this game so I can have friends again.
Sadly this does not help me whatsoever. I've done less than 10 attempts and had a run where I beat Radagon with 9 flasks left. And before that I had 1 where I had only 2 flasks left so I figure I try learn Elden Beast on my first attempt but actually dealt 60% so figured I can do it once I had 9 flasks. Was doing well until Elden Beast did some bullshit yellow attack that just tracks you for an hour while you try to get away from that and dodge that the Elden Beast continues doing other attacks, it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in any of their games.
Great game but man Malenia bs Flurry attack and now this boss with a bs attack really soured the end game for me as a player who loves the games for the boss fights exclusively.
Yeah this boss isn't even fun cause there's no skill factor. It's all down to random luck.
I hated maliketh flurry attack aswell and the fact they spawned Godfrey within kissing distance for his second phase
Finally became Elden lord .just wanna say thanks again for ur great guides .my first souls game is now complete .Nice one brother
Congratulations on finishing the game! I hope it inspires you to try out the other games in From Software's catalogue. And thank you for the Super Thanks!!!!
Anytime I get somewhat near the Elden beast he just swims away I literally can’t hit him at all
FUCK THIS BOSS IM ABOUT TO FUCKING LOSE IT!
you were spared an attack where he sends out a bubble of light that follows you and continues to spurt out guided missiles which lasts for quite a bit. the boss also stopped to swing his sword more than usual. good rng tbh.
I noticed that if you stay close to the boss, the odds of it casting Elden Stars is lower. I could be wrong though, as I've watched a lot of no-hit runs since making this guide, and the runners always reset once he casts the spell, and it's almost expected that they're going to have to attempt it a few times because of it. So yea, there's definitely RNG, but I felt like I was able to manipulate it a bit.
I’ve used so many of your videos for this game, i feel like i owe you money.
Tips are never expected, but you can click the Super Thanks button below the video to leave one :)
Remember, Lord's divine fortification and Haligdrake talisman +2
Good video man! Was glad to see a 100% solo guide. I was getting tired of looking up guides and then people just used spirit ashes haha (nothing wrong with using them if you want to but don’t make a guide with them ya feel me lol)
Tip for the elden stars attack as he mentions 8:12 Try rolling in 90 degress. Like in a square shape.
Great simple guide. Thanks man
Beat it first try after this guide. Awesome boss imo
I wish he didnt run away all over da place..
Thanks for the guide i will try to defeat them today!
After 2 hours I finally got him down to 10% with 6 health pots to spare.. then I got disconnected 😶
Nah that’s so depressing, I would literally wanna die if that happened to me
ruclips.net/video/3a160HPedLU/видео.html
Things like this are why always-online shouldn't be a thing. If that happened to me I'd be seething so hard lol
Thanks for this. Was able to beat Elden Beast following your guide :)
Your vid was very helpful! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
After 150+ hours I’m not in a hurry to revisit this game after beating Malenia and this boss. 10/10 for sure but these bosses are brutal. At least you can make a few mistakes with Isshin, Soul of Cinder, Gerhman, Moon Pressence, Friede, Orphan, whoever. These endgame bosses just swarm you and their combos will pretty much one shot you if you get caught in them and they have a LOT of combination attacks. I’m in the middle of new game+ but I’m mentally exhausted. Gonna take a break and play Kirby lol.
You should be able to use Torrent for the Elden Beast fight. Too much chasing takes the fun out of it for me.
I was fortunate enough to beat radagon on my first try but the elden beast immediately humbled me
Lmao “The camera will Autocorrect you” First time I’ve ever heard that 😂
Am I the only one who finds Radagon to be the most annoying boss in the game? His move set is so fucking annoying and the timing never stays consistent so you can't get in the zone, feels like a constant start stop bullshit. Elden beast I've only died to now that im on NG+2 and his damage is through the fucking roof.
it is it has a faster hoarfrost stomp than us. can teleport. i can totally solo radagon alone still its teleport and the lightning bullet is BS.... but the elden beast after that is just pure bs with heat seeking missiles of holiness.
Ur a life saver my friend
Epic 😃 I managed to down the Elden Beast after watching this guide. Golden Greatshield + fiery Blasphemous Blade build :) I’m around level 170, with 60 vigor, 48 endurance, 34 Strength, 27 mind, & 46 faith. This game’s my new favourite, & I’m looking forward to Shadow of the Erdtree ☮️❤️Thanks again Johnny, & Elden Ring’s creators. I’m watching the credits now 🙏🏽
That second phase was ridiculous. First time I summoned another player to be done with it …
Thanks so much I was using your advice for this and melania so hopefully I can beat this boss
He also very rarely will use a grab attack too where he picks you up in a golden orb and shoot like 20 golden spears into you and then blow you up in his hand. I've only seen him do it like 4-5 times total in the 13 journeys I have done so far and the countless times I have helped people beat it in Co-Op. It hurts pretty bad.
this is quite literally the worst boss fight ever created along with fighting characters with aoe attacks on every default attack you have to fight the fucking camera
The godskin peeler’s black flame spiral does a surprisingly hefty amount of damage, I beat it in like 3 tries. Granted I did have to grind to lvl 160 first lmao
tl:dr , for radagon always dodge right and be careful when he teleports
I think I’ve been beaten by elden beast 3 dozen+times. I can beat phase 1 with my eyes closed at this point
I absolutely hate this battle! Bosses where I spend the entire "fight" chasing the enemy make me want to uninstall the game. The Elden Beast is easily the worst boss in the game and after more than 20 failed attempts I have decided to take a break from this game for a while. The irony is that Malenia took 2 weeks and well over 100 attempts to beat, but I didn't get nearly as upset because she was fun to fight.
If your doing faith black flame with the black dagger will help as well avoid any incantation that takes time as radogan will punish you for it
Really struggling to kill this boss, spent 4 hours trying. Literally can’t do it
Update! I’ve Managed to do it! With the help of a random player I summoned. Who ever you are you’re a life saver! Now time for NG+
@@SirCazza12 this boss has plauged me for three days straight
Updated! I’m back at him now on NG+ but I’m stuck again hahaha god help me 😀😂😂😂
He did a dragging backspin that I avoided and before I could stand back up from the roll or he even finished that attack, in a motion I had to record and play back to follow he stepped forward faster than a bloodhound step and hit me with his knee while releasing an AOE attack. The most obnoxious attack I have ever witnessed, hope it was a glitch.
No its real. This fights the worst.
After losing to Godfrey twice I ended up killing every single boss I could find and stacked up as much power as I could and maxed out up to +9 or +24 about 10 different weapons to test different strategies out, I ended up searching every inch of the map for scarabs and got a bunch of different ashes of war. Needless to say, I destroyed Godfrey and destroyed this boss after 5 attempts, I died to radagon, managed to deal with him on my second try, got destroyed by Elden stars, but every other move wasn't too bad. Same thing happened twice more and then I killed the Elden Beast. Godfrey scared me more than he really should have.
I’m struggling with radagon. Can’t even get to elden beast😔
Soo even Auto-Targetting is a Boss mechanic designed to Kill you :o
I don't know what's worse the rolling or the camera in this game
Thank you!
It rook me 9 hours to kill Elden Beast. I think I got it's moves after 2 hours. It wasn't the problem. The problem is I kept running more then I actually fought it. I hope second time I will be faster
Third time back to this channel for boss tips
100% all the games
But elden ring bosses have to many mix ups and delays for me, can't grasp a good rhythm like I did in prior games, i fluke some of them
Also that teleport is busted, you miss a hit and teleports back onto you at the end of your swing
100% agree with you! I played and loved every Fromsoft game, but in this game certain bosses have weird pattern and attacks! Anyway still a great game!
@@TomTom-me5hm no it definitely is, ive finished it now loved it
But definitely boss design a step back for me
Even compared to DS3 which is nost similar, Friede or Gael 🙏🙏🙏
@@ryanbarry34 You are right! But i dont know what it is i had an easier time with friede, gael even orphan of kos than most of the bosses from elden ring!
@@TomTom-me5hm its mixups and delays mostly and how they move into eachother, if you imagine each move like a tree graph they can split into different variations depending on your spacing, inputs, or just chance.
Orphan and Friede have more or less set move sets you can learn and master
Its almost like they thought it an evolution of the design complexity wise
I'm not a fan personally but I'm not sure it will revert in future sadly
I suck so hard at Radagon.Never got to the Elden beast.I dont wanna use summons for the final boss of the game.
The Elden stars is the homing glowing thing that nags the hell out of you and lasts forever? Yeah that move always kills me. Screw this damn boss.
I did it! and then Praise the research!
man been stuck on this for week now if i get past him and beast gets me ... then all over again very boring and time consuming
Trouble is if you struggle with phase 1 and end up popping too many flasks you’re fucked. The key to success with this boss is absolutely mastering Radagon first but that’s very difficult.
Thanks for the guide
For this fight I used the giant crusher with royal knight resolve on heavy affinity plus 25 with 60 strength , that particular ash raises the next attack by 80% and without it the hammer already hits for almost 900 attack and I also had the jump talisman boost on so it took 4 jump attacks on radagaon to
Kill him but I did have an summon distracting him which died in that first phase
But same Strat for Elden beast and I had no summon, I would use royal knight resolve then chase it down and do a jump attack with two handing and then do another and if you can get a third it will stagger if not just run away and let your stamina regen, I staggered the beast twice and riposte and it was over
I beat those bosses first try with this Strat but it did require a mimic tear in phase 1
Beat maliketh my first try, godfrey my second, radagon absolutely steamrolled me.
Thanks for making an actual guide instead of cheesing the hell out of him like every other youtube video for this boss.
Great tutorials man your a legend.
Thank you!
One advice i have for everyone struggling with the last phase. Try to always stay behind him and attack him there. And once he starts with the rings, run as far away from him as you can.
Finally beat the elden ring today 🎉🎉 sad that the journey has ended tho😢
How do you survive the infinite piss missiles it shoots when it’s almost dead
The Elden Beast fight is impossible for me, I can't even hit the damn thing.
