I think he spams it to counter ranged attacks like bows or spells. I noticed I can provoke some of his attacks in some fashion. Like that combo that starts with a stomp, if I go agressive and strike first, it usually starts that combo, which is easily punishable. Thanks, I used moon by accident and saw it negated his spell, and was like "this is neat" :)
Bro I seen him take it easy on others me he spams a lot why???? Why do some get an easy version but I get the spam every move that is broken to win? I won't give up but dang man I feel like I got the wrong dlc.
Dude all he does is the gravity pull on me, I’m a melee build but I use dash attacks and spacing so maybe it’s my proximity And I, also, was marveling at the genius use of the moon
when ever he was far away from me, including the start of the fight where he doesn't immediately lunge at me, i usually did a heavy attack to bait his corkscrew attack but sometimes he'd do gravity instead and it would get that bad where he just did gravity over and over. id say it's just rare rng considering how often he corkscrews instead
Watching those average players is what i like the most , not someone who has practiced a million times to get no hit and then make a video , this guy takes hit , struggled for days and finally able to beat him solo , I've beaten many bosses in this game without any help and pure strength and dex built but i got exhausted and wanna end so finally I've used my mimic and beaten him easily
Thanks for this comment. I get how you feel. I have beaten him with strength as well and way much easier cause str builds wear a but more armor can take more hits, usually go stagger and I can pick ash of war like Raptor 😊
I tried the same with Rennala's moon at first, but I found the recovery threw me off more than anything. In the end I parried him with the carian duelist shield to death. Not particularly original looking back, but without using shield pokes (I later discovered they were broken) and it's a fun memory of the fight TwT
@@brickch.6502 Timing is difficult, I tried with Radagon's Icon and never got the dmg on him, so this combo worked, I had the timing in my fingers everytime I saw him do that move :)
This fight is so elegant. Everything in it is so beautiful: the colour of blue, the milady stance, the well-timed usage of the full moon sorcery, the carian sceptre, the determination of triumph. This type of gameplay is what gives hope and motive to continue this game. Thank you
Thanks! Yes, I crafted this build, also with one fire spell to remove ice, but scrapped it for this fight cause I wanted to be as simple as possible and focus on dodging
Damn that last two hits were intense, the classic "we're both one hit away from death scenario". Congrats on beating him! I personally did it with a parry build because I got fed up with his 6 hit combos haha
I beat Sekiro but I can say I suck at Elden Ring parry 🤣 But yea, last ones were intense, I was like "I'm going for it, whatever happens I'm fine" and I got the kill, which was fortunate 😌
@@joseandkris What would you cheese him with? I cheese him with Impenetrable Thorns to get through the first phase but second phase is just nuke after nuke after nuke. It's honestly making me retroactively dislike the rest of the game.
@@crabby6549 Applying a dozen buffs and having a gimmick build is a little *too* cheesy for me. But I'm getting close to the point where I don't really give a shit.
@Wrencher_86 i had to re spec my stats bro, my fucking 2 years of stats, i never felt so terrible as a mage. I had to use mogh weapon and heavy shield to cheese him. I was so sad after
Thanks, exactly that, I don't know OP builds or have 100 buffs, or have skill to no hit anyone. Just try and fail until I learn the moves. Builds I craft myself, cause I find joy in that 😊
Well done. I wish I had known about that Ranni Moon counter when I fought him with my own spell blade build. Additionally, didn't ever properly dodge those vortex draw spells, oh well. Take care.
Dude, that counter with moon is freaking genius!! I had a build much like yours and ended up having to re-spec to try different weapons. Never crossed my mind to do that. Great job!!!
Thanks man! It did not occur to me as well, I just wanted to blast him away with Moon, but he threw rocks at me and it absorbed them, so I was like "This is interesting 🤔" 😃
Excellent use of Ranni's Dark Moon. Surprised you didn't go Glintstone Icecrag to synergize but I guess it's infrequent enough that you needn't bother.
Thanks my friend! I have Icecrag, but I am not a fan of it, I feel it leaves me too exposed, the Glintblades are more defensive in my view, I can just cast them, not worry about being in range and keep dodging, with Icecrag, I'd have to worry about range, and I had my Cold Milady to take care of ice dmg as well :)
@@joseandkris personally that icecrag would have been safer than milady. you could go carian shield due to its 71+ magic resists and putting holy on it gets 68 holy resist ontop of the scadutree fragments resist. there is impenetrable thorns too, let him suck him you or after a combo slam it down and see his bleed get proc as all 9 instances hit at once, plus you won't even need acrane invest.
@@prasunkumar1125that is a good strat, tho having a shield makes me play worse then not having one 😊 it's just me tho, I like to have 1 "defence" button, rather then 2.
Thank you 😊 I never play a full mage either, but I love me some battle mage, going into melee but having spells. My next build will be something similar with faith with DK axes for melee
Yep yep, it was "I'm going all-in" moment and it succeeded 😃 His first mistake was going for grab, which I dodged easily and punished, and then he started that "long combo" as I primed my Wing Stance R2 and I got it 😃 Really lucky, but also luck follows the brave 🤣
Congratulations on beating Radahn your battle was spectacular. Also the idea to use the moon to counter his meteors is a genius move, I absolutely hate the move of his and ended up using vow of the indominable.
Using the moon 🌕 to block the meteors ☄️ is the reason mages are high in intelligence 😏. Amazing run wish I was capable of this maybe I will try on my NG+ run you sir have inspired me 🤩.
To anyone who is struggling on this boss I highly recommend you get something that can proc a status, weather it’s a weapon or a consumable. The new hefty rot pot, which is very easy to farm for, procs scarlet rot in a single use and makes this fight ten times easier.
I've tried to rot him with Romina's Halberd, and I could bearly rot him in P1, and never in P2, but never tried pots, I guess that's much faster. What Ive used here is frost, I think it's much easier to proc then blood :) good tip
Nice Counter with the Moon Spell. Had to change my Setup after Fighting him for 45ms. Used a shield and the Guts Sword with Gravity Thrust War Ash. I drank my flask before going in with No Physical Damage and Increase Damage Negation. So I can bring out my Mimic Tear. I used the Scarlett’s Flower Rott in the Beginning when he’s attacking my mimic Tear. And beginning of second Phase when he just stand there. But Shield does Help but you need lots of Stamina to take the punishment. I used the Stability Armor. It’s the one Knight you fight early in the DLC that’s in the Mausoleum. Took me around an Hour of Fighting him. Good luck to everyone. Cheers.
Thanks! I'll try to see that stability armor, sounds really cool :) For the Mimic, I used to use Shabriri's Woe, to direct agro to the mimic lol, but decided not to use it for the DLC, so I can dodge the attacks myself, have more fun that way :)
Nice one! Im doing a run with a similar setup, Magic Milady with wing stance on main hand and carian regal scepter on off hand. Nice to see the strat you uses. Really suck because he has few openings in 2nd fase to use the Ash Of War, but the Moon counter to meteorites was amazing!
Ranni’s Dark Moon is a powerful spell, that when put into good use, can counter most large scale magics. It can also counter Renalla’s Full Moon as well. So really, it’s OP
Yea, mages don't hit as hard as some, but have good tools for every situation. That's why I love the class. I have long range, short range, stagger, status, I can kite, ice magic, fire magic... It was very fun to play :)
Everyones shocked at the moon counter spell effect and let me tell you i started aiming for a dex intelligence build the minute i saw Renallas and the required 70 to use .... its like a mini spirit bomb
MiLady with the ash of war heavy attack is pretty good damage. You should have used the heavy attack a lot more. Great use of the Full moon to negate the Meteor spell.
Int builds are at a disadvantage in this fight imo due to being far less tanky plus sorceries can take a minute to wind up, timing is difficult with so few openings. Seriously impressive fight, well done!
I liked it . because you have used a strategy completely yours. This shows the versatility of Elden Ring that everyone can use their own style. good job . Even so, this boss is too stupid 😂 I don't know what the rest think
Thanks for sharing the moon strat. Practical wnd stylish. I been liking about any mage build that fights dlc bosses snd i learn the hard way that simply casting night comet isnt good enough lol...
I enjoy watching fight like these more than perfect run, both party actually exchange blow to the point last encounter it's anyone game your build looks so creative, my case I just went unga bonka with heavyweight build mimic + bleed at him 😂
Just keep trying, you can't fail. One tip if I may share, when I really struggle on a boss, I go defensive, pure defence, I don't even atrack, so I can just learn the patterns, and slowly weave in attakcs. Makes my boss learning much quicker.
I tried to fight him as a battle mage too, but then after many attempts I said fuck the spells and respecced. I still had like 50 int but I went full melee with cold infused backhand blades and raptor of the mists. I further tweaked my build until I was light rolling and beat him that way.
Yea, as you can see I only have 2 spells, I had to remove most of the spells I used and just use what I needed. I changed talismans and flasks and everything until I learnt this :) Raptor makes fight easier a bit, I used it on Strength run, but I wanted to do it with medium rolls, as it has same s as light rolls anyway. I do use a tear that gives me a bit more s on rolling tho. Ranni's Dark Moon really counters him hard in my view :) Kinda poetic, Ranni being his sister :)
I am using similar build, but completely abusing chilling ash on milady and sometimes (when you have tim to cast) night mist spell. Radahn is VERY stationary during his combos when you dodge to side, and he stays incredibly long in those mists. Getting frostbitten almost every cast while taking nice base damage from night mist. And when freeze procs, I usually smack him with magma shot to get reset and immediately put him into chilling mist again.
That is a good stratml. I used Magma Shot the entire run to remove frost procs, but decided not to for Radahn cause it was too many things to think about, I had to simplify it so that I can focus on the moveset 🪐🙂

@@joseandkris that definitely makes sense, radahn is so overwhelming that simplicity really is a key 😁
Outstanding job beating the BS boss. Tbh though, feels like bosses are so over powercrept with their Sekiro and Bloodborne-like moves but our characters still use the same chugging and roll animations. Half of the fight is just rolling and rolling animations with little to none openings. We really need a fresh gameplay on the player side
This dlc brings in so much ds3 vibes including the last boss of the ds3 dlc. I just loved this but not as much as ds3 dlc. That boss is beautiful and Radhan comes in as a copy of that which I don’t mind but I prefer the original.
hahaha, thanks :) true dat, mages got some tricks up their sleeves. I did STR run as well, and it was way easier, but felt cheesier, this felt like I really learnt him :)
Sick fight, especially the moon usage. I’m still trying to kill him solo with my knight of solitude build/greatsword of solitude but his second phase bullies me.
Thanks!! 😊 Oh, the Sword of Solitude slaps, amazing stagger dmg. There's a video on my channel where I beat him with a Golden Halberd, check it out, it's a similar setup as yours, big armor, one weapon. In the end it's about dodging and trading , at least for me 😊
Thanks! Yes, a lot of questing is needed, I don't use just 2 spells, but for this fight, I had to simplify so my brain focuses on dodging and moving :) Hell of a journey :)
Congratulations, well done. I have to ask though, why use Glintstone Trio ? There are more powerful spells you could have used. i am also shocked at how many people commenting did not know that Ranni's Moon absorbs spells/magic, it's right there in the description. Well executed on your part.
Thank you! While there are more powerful spells, I prefer the Glintstone magic as I find it more defensive and bigger chance to hit. Like I can cast it while we have downtime or boss is posing and can focus on dodging, while if I used something more offensive, I would have to make sure it hits and focus on offence and aiming and range, and then I would forget how to dodge. I gotta keep it simple and reduce my brain load for these kind of fights 😅
Yea, and I didn't expect it, I was trying to look cool for the thumbnail, how I have epic stance while he slams into me... but he decided to do the pull lol 🥳 🙂
Please do, it's not mine 😆 Let me know how it works out. One piece of feedback tho, don't use Radagon's Icon, cast will be too fast and Moon may miss him.
Thanks, the reason on hit dmg was low is that it was cold enchanted and I had no dex, but pure Int. So had scaling of C, but it didn't matter due to attack speed and cold procs I was chasing 😊
Funny start, and I've never seen him spam gravity pull that much. Genius use of moon.
I think he spams it to counter ranged attacks like bows or spells. I noticed I can provoke some of his attacks in some fashion.

Could be, but I find gravity pull easy to dodge unless he really surprises me. Just don't be near him when dodging :)
The moon countering the meteores is insane. Great win
Thanks, feels good 😊
I was I awe

Nice Counter with the Moon Spell. Had to change my Setup after Fighting him for 45ms. Used a shield and the Guts Sword with Gravity Thrust War Ash. I drank my flask before going in with No Physical Damage and Increase Damage Negation. So I can bring out my Mimic Tear. I used the Scarlett’s Flower Rott in the Beginning when he’s attacking my mimic Tear. And beginning of second Phase when he just stand there.

Thanks 😊 It's a cool setup , lots of fun to play. And yea, 2nd phase really tough, I could have used more wing stance but R1 was safer 😊
Im still struggling myself, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who uses the moon that way.
Nice! Just keep going 💪
Ranni’s Dark Moon is a powerful spell, that when put into good use, can counter most large scale magics. It can also counter Renalla’s Full Moon as well. So really, it’s OP
Yes, I have to have that spell on any mage build 😊 I prefer Ranni's version over Renalla's cause of frost buildup
The mages really got left out in this DLC. I played my first run as my B MAGE and it was brutal.
Yea, mages don't hit as hard as some, but have good tools for every situation. That's why I love the class. I have long range, short range, stagger, status, I can kite, ice magic, fire magic... It was very fun to play :)
I mean not to be a hater but i think it's good. DLC is much harder and punishes those who fight from a distance. Messmer is perfect example.
@@User-xw6kdyeah but if you use the mimic tear and let the boss distracted by him you can defeat him fast
Moon counter for meteors is INSANE and so smart. Im a mage too and this is so impressive!!

I changed talismans and flasks and everything until I learnt this :) Raptor makes fight easier a bit, I used it on Strength run, but I wanted to do it with medium rolls, as it has same s as light rolls anyway. I do use a tear that gives me a bit more s on rolling tho. Ranni's Dark Moon really counters him hard in my view :) Kinda poetic, Ranni being his sister :)
The moon was genius!
Thank you 😊
I am using similar build, but completely abusing chilling ash on milady and sometimes (when you have tim to cast) night mist spell. Radahn is VERY stationary during his combos when you dodge to side, and he stays incredibly long in those mists. Getting frostbitten almost every cast while taking nice base damage from night mist. And when freeze procs, I usually smack him with magma shot to get reset and immediately put him into chilling mist again.
That is a good stratml. I used Magma Shot the entire run to remove frost procs, but decided not to for Radahn cause it was too many things to think about, I had to simplify it so that I can focus on the moveset 🪐🙂
@@joseandkris that definitely makes sense, radahn is so overwhelming that simplicity really is a key 😁
Great win! Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks 🤗 Greetings to Brazil 🇧🇷
Nice work. I basically conceded defeat and ended up spamming impenetrable thorns 😐
It worked at least, buy wasn't too satisfying.
Hahah, well it is a strategy, u survived long enough to spam it 🤗
Very nicely done 👏🏼
Thanks! 😊
Outstanding job beating the BS boss. Tbh though, feels like bosses are so over powercrept with their Sekiro and Bloodborne-like moves but our characters still use the same chugging and roll animations. Half of the fight is just rolling and rolling animations with little to none openings. We really need a fresh gameplay on the player side
Hahaha thanks. Yes, my favorite games beside ER are Bloodborne and Sekiro 🤗 would love more of that anytime
That was hectic. Congrats!
Thanks 😊👍
Great job dude🎉
Thanks 😊
Well done tarnished
Thanks fellow Tarnished 🧐
This dlc brings in so much ds3 vibes including the last boss of the ds3 dlc.
I just loved this but not as much as ds3 dlc. That boss is beautiful and Radhan comes in as a copy of that which I don’t mind but I prefer the original.
This fight reminds me of the Princes in DS3 base game, Lorian and Lothric on top of him. I think Miyazaki wanted to pay homage to that fight :)
The Moon trick 👌 great job
Thanks 💪😄🤗
This is how big the real radahn is to rellana.
Lol 😂
Well done. Looks like you could have cast Glintstone trio multiple times in a row.
Yea, was scared tho, played it very defensive 😊
Well done Tarnished.
Thanks fellow Tarnished
Nice job!!! I'll try that moon trick too!
Let me know how it works :) thanks 👍
incredible, another win for battlemage scholars. Strengthtoddlers could never
hahaha, thanks :) true dat, mages got some tricks up their sleeves. I did STR run as well, and it was way easier, but felt cheesier, this felt like I really learnt him :)
alright doing the moon counter when i fight him this is basically my build for the entire run
Yes, it's really great 😃
Sick fight, especially the moon usage. I’m still trying to kill him solo with my knight of solitude build/greatsword of solitude but his second phase bullies me.
Thanks!! 😊 Oh, the Sword of Solitude slaps, amazing stagger dmg. There's a video on my channel where I beat him with a Golden Halberd, check it out, it's a similar setup as yours, big armor, one weapon. In the end it's about dodging and trading , at least for me 😊
Loved that moon counter!
Thanks!
"Use a shield"
My squishy mage with 30 endurance 😬
I'm 100% stealing your usage of moons next time
Hehe, shield is just a hinderance 🤣 thanks, let me know how it works out 😊
@@joseandkris I got him yesterday finally after like a billion tries. Now I'm permitted to watch others play
hahha, that's how I do it as well. I turned off internet and YT until I beat the DLC, and then I started to watch everything :)
Nice work dude
Thanks! ☺️
Great skill,
All my respect given the time to prepare those spells.
Hell of a journey, right? 😅
Thanks! Yes, a lot of questing is needed, I don't use just 2 spells, but for this fight, I had to simplify so my brain focuses on dodging and moving :) Hell of a journey :)
@@joseandkris I went on a DeX/STR build with the Milady sword
6hours to get rid of this man.
Way above all others in terms of Difficulty 😅
Oh, 6hrs is cool. I love it, I would love even more bosses like this, harder then Malenia :)
@@joseandkris to your point, I had more fun with Malenia because of her patterns.
Less Bossy if you see what I mean 😅
Yea, Malenia gives you a bit of time to think and prepare, but Radahn is just full on berserk mode
5:18 i know your heart was pounding
Oh yea. But when I saw him posing and not going into some combo, I was like "ok going for it" 🤣
Congratulations, well done. I have to ask though, why use Glintstone Trio ? There are more powerful spells you could have used. i am also shocked at how many people commenting did not know that Ranni's Moon absorbs spells/magic, it's right there in the description. Well executed on your part.
Thank you! While there are more powerful spells, I prefer the Glintstone magic as I find it more defensive and bigger chance to hit. Like I can cast it while we have downtime or boss is posing and can focus on dodging, while if I used something more offensive, I would have to make sure it hits and focus on offence and aiming and range, and then I would forget how to dodge. I gotta keep it simple and reduce my brain load for these kind of fights 😅
Glintstone blade doing damage for ants.
Lol 🤣 all the little bits count
good one
nicely done
Thank you 😊
1:25 Bro used Gravity Pull 5 times in 15 seconds xD
lol yea, he got frustrated that someone leveld more Int then Strength :)
impressive! the moon! love it
Thanks friend 😊
Out of all the times I did this boss, he never did the gravity pull first, so weird.
Yea, and I didn't expect it, I was trying to look cool for the thumbnail, how I have epic stance while he slams into me... but he decided to do the pull lol 🥳 🙂
WOW! I did not know Moon can counter meteriote strike
yep, even Renalla's Full Moon :)
I'm stealing that meteor countering tech
Please do, it's not mine 😆 Let me know how it works out. One piece of feedback tho, don't use Radagon's Icon, cast will be too fast and Moon may miss him.
@@joseandkris thanks 👍
You're welcome 🤗
well done
Thank you 😊
You'd have been better off hitting him with a wooden spoon rather than that sword it was doing no damage lol , all spell based well done 👏
Thanks, the reason on hit dmg was low is that it was cold enchanted and I had no dex, but pure Int. So had scaling of C, but it didn't matter due to attack speed and cold procs I was chasing 😊
@@joseandkris same for me I have all dex and strength so couldn't conjure anything more than a glintshade and a shield boost lol
Seeing Radahn movesets...Clearly From Software wants to make a Anime game at this point.
Hahah, yes, please, more FromSoft, whatever it is (not Armored Core tho, nice game, but more souls like) :)
Ok, I’ll try this build today. Thanks
You're welcome 🤗 Let me know how it works 🤠
