It all comes down to this.
After a long and arduous journey through the deadly Land of Shadow inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, you’ve managed to follow Miquella to the peak of Enir-Ilim. There, you’ll find his promised consort: none other than Starscourge Radahn himself, brought back to life and enthralled within the remains of Mohg, Lord of Blood. It’s the wildest twist in the entireElden RingDLC, and it’s followed by what is undoubtedly one of the hardest — and one of the most intense — boss fights in gaming history.
The original bout with Radahn wasn’ttoodifficult, but at the time, he was driven mad by Malenia’s Scarlet Rot. Now Promised Consort Radahn is in his prime thanks to his new body, and attacks with lethal and relentless fervor. Phase 2 intensifies things even further, and will be the ultimate test of patience and skill.
Put simply, it’s a battle for the ages, and I wouldn’t be surprised if FromSoftware nerfs it at some point due to how absolutely insane it is. In this guide, though, I’ll give you some tips and advice that will help you triumph over this final boss fight. Below, you’ll find a set of general suggestions on how to best prepare for the bout, along with a detailed overview of Promised Consort Radahn’s moveset and how to defeat him.

In this phase, Radahn gains several lethal attacks and also buffs many of his original ones, making his constant offense even more difficult to avoid. Here’s what you need to know:
If you’re able to defy the odds and keep yourself alive against everything Radahn throws at you for long enough, you’ll eventually take him down. Congratulations!
