They have rebuffed him with the latest patch. So yeah, well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I cheesed the hell out of Radahn... First phase was simple enough having all my summons on him then swiping him from behind. Second phase I just stayed away from him running around on Torrent re-summoning all the dead warriors and they did most the work. I just kept my distance and ran in for the final swipe to claim the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go the critical path route and finish the main story in 35 hours (ish) but you would be missing out on about half of the games content. I have over 200 hours played and I'm still finding new areas in my second playthrough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kept my distance and ran in for the final swipe to claim the glory. He didn't seem to get to the second phase. We (me and the summons) all surrounded him when he was on half health and slaughtered him before the transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have over 200 hours played and I'm still finding new areas in my second playthrough. Not to mention going the critical path without much exploration would turn Elden Ring from a fun experience to a frustrating one. I have figured out through multiple playthroughs that Stormveil Castle where the game directs the player to go first is a Level 30-40 area. Not saying it can't be done at Level 10 right off spawn, but there are bosses in that castle that I wouldn't want to fight at Level 10 with no estus upgrades, weapon upgrades or anything else. On a first playthrough exploration is the whole game, as the exploration is what facilitates most players to beat the bosses on the critical path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Unfortunately I've got to a stage where I've got to walk away. 2 crucible knights, not at the same time, kicking my ass. I can't parry for #### and that seems to be the only way to defeat them. Its just not fun at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried using summons or just grinding a few levels from the Bird of Many Runes? I don't think I've used parry once in over 200 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler There's a spot in Mohgwyn Palace where you can grind thousands of runes every few minutes by killing a single bird mob over and over. YouTube is your friend. Might be worth your while if you fancy gaining a few easy levels to ease the frustration. Edited April 8, 2022 by Designer1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Decided to run passed those knights. Hit another wall immediately by facing 2 gargoyles. Took at least a dozen attempts to do the battle and think I only did it cuz one of them committed suicide Edited April 10, 2022 by dubbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I used the D NPC summon (think you have to have progressed his questline a bit) and then just stance broke them with quick attacks allowing for criticals. Iirc they don't use magic so weren't too difficult. Edited April 13, 2022 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
