Our guide today offers detailed information on How to defeat Promised Consort Radahn in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree?

Radahn the Promised Consort, the final boss of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, stands as the most arduous encounter in all of Elden Ring, surpassing even Maliketh, Radagon, and even Malenia. While the base game version, Starscourge Radahn, presented a considerable challenge, the DLC version takes it to a whole other level, especially in its second phase. For many players, Radahn represents an insurmountable obstacle, even more challenging than Malenia. Despite having two NPC summons, they do not provide significant assistance.


Fortunately, there are strategies to effectively take on the boss, although these still require a certain degree of skill and dexterity. Below is a detailed guide outlining the recommended build, combat strategies, and additional tips to overcome this titanic challenge.

Recommended build


Weapons:


  • Bloody Antspur Rapier +25 (Blood Tax to boost bleeding)
  • Fingerprint Stone Shield +25 (Ash of War: Barricade)

Talimans


  • Erdtree's Favor +2
  • Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
  • Prosthesis Bearer's Relic
  • Two-Headed Turtle Talisman

Armor


  • Verdigris Set
  • Build explanation

While any build can be viable in theory against Radahn, the build described above has proven to be the most effective, especially for those who have not yet mastered dodging and parrying to perfection.


  • The Bloody Antspur Rapier, with its innate ability to inflict Scarlet Rot and compatibility with Blood Tax, makes it an ideal choice for maximizing damage.
  • The Fingerprint Stone Shield, along with the Barricade Ash of War, offers excellent protection against Radahn's physical and projectile attacks.
  • The selected Talimans complement the overall strategy, improving resilience, HP regeneration, and bleeding effectiveness.
  • The Verdigris Set provides solid physical defense and balance, which is crucial for withstanding Radahn's onslaught.

It should be noted that while Ash of War will not be used in this battle, the Blood Tax on the Antspur Rapier can be replaced by any other weapon art that is preferred, as long as it maintains the bleed scaling. The recommended build primarily prioritizes the Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane attributes. The Prosthesis Bearer's Relic can be substituted with the Outer God's Relic for additional Arcane points. If attribute points allow, it is recommended to invest in Faith to equip the Golden Vow Enchantment.

Combat Strategies


General Strategy


  • Avoid summoning other players or NPCs during battle.
  • The main strategy is to block Radahn's attacks and counterattack until he contracts Scarlet Rot.
  • In the first phase, most attacks can be effectively blocked with the Fingerprint Stone Shield, minimizing the damage taken.
  • When Radahn jumps into the air, releasing the block button allows stamina to be recovered.
  • Using Stamina and HP Recovery Riven Tears speeds up stamina recovery and provides passive HP regeneration.
  • During the second phase, maintain the same strategy as in the first, but when Radahn jumps into the air, move as far away from the center of the arena as possible to dodge the devastating two-part AOE attack.
  • Stacking Scarlet Rot will significantly weaken Radahn, even without the aid of a summon.

Second Phase


  • Radahn's grab attack is unavoidable with the shield and will cause death in two hits if it connects.
  • Activating Miquella's Great Rune before the battle makes the Tarnished immune to this attack.

Tips


  • Before facing Radahn, explore Shadow Keep to locate and defeat the optional boss Avatar Scadutree.
  • Defeating Avatar Scadutree rewards the player with Miquella's Great Rune, which is valuable for the final boss battle in the DLC.
