There are several ways to defeat Radahn. Some of these involve using a weapon and others involve using spells. For the most part, you can use a weapon to deal the most damage to Radahn. For example, if you have a Rock Sling, you can use it to slash him. However, there are other options, such as using an Icerind Hatchet.
Rock Sling
Rock Sling is a fantastic spellcaster spell, but it needs to be used strategically. Its cast delay makes it susceptible to Alecto’s piercing and slashing combo, and when used correctly, it can lead to crushing damage for your foe. You should aim to land at least three rocks on your opponent before it has a chance to strike. You should also avoid spamming Rock Slings and always be on the lookout for follow-up attacks.
Rock Sling is a great spell to use against giant foes, as it can cause staggers, which is helpful when fighting massive foes. You should use this spell in open areas with no structures and on slopes to cause maximum damage. The most convenient way to cast Rock Sling is by using the Meteorite Staff, which greatly increases your chance of hitting enemies with the Rock Sling.
The second phase of the Radahn fight can be very dangerous. Its flaming comets can one-shot you if you get too close to them. When this happens, the summon sign reappear on the battlefield in a different location. As a result, it’s difficult to dodge the meteor projectiles.
Icerind Hatchet
First, you need to know where to find the Icerind Hatchet. It’s found in the Temple Quarter southwest of Raya Lucaria Academy. The Hatchet can be found in a chest in a ruined building. Once you have the Hatchet, you can use its special skill to spread a trail of freezing mist. It also applies a frost status effect. This makes it very useful for farming mobs of enemies.
The Icerind Hatchet is one of the best weapons in the Elden Ring for dealing Frostbite damage. It’s a powerful weapon that scales with Strength and Dexterity. This axe is effective in single-target and AoE situations. It also has a powerful frost effect that reduces targets’ damage absorption by 20%. This makes it a fantastic weapon to use against players and bosses alike.
Despite its high damage output, Icerind Hatchet is relatively easy to find and to use. The Icerind Hatchet can be equipped as a secondary weapon in a party, and the Frostbite status effect can be boosted with the use of powerstabbing. The Hatchet has a large area of effect, making it an excellent choice for bosses. The Frostbite damage that it deals can quickly melt a boss’ HP bars.
Rock Slash
In general, the best way to defeat Radahn is with a combination of attacks. Usually, he will fire two projectiles at once, but if you time your roll to your advantage, you can dodge out of the way and avoid his attacks entirely. If you cannot roll and block, however, you can use the Torrent to ride away from the attack.
Regardless of what type of character you choose, you must be able to deal with his wide area attack. If you can, try to avoid getting hit by his attacks and use your summons to finish combos. Using this move will also help you to stay away from his flaming attacks. In addition to using summons, you can also run away from his attacks to keep your health up.
The second way to defeat Radahn is to use your Meteorite Staff. You can use this to deal massive damage to Radahn. This item will stun him after a few hits.
Spinning Slashes
To defeat Starscourge Radahn, you’ll need to learn to counter his gravity magic and Phase Two attacks. His attacks have erratic timing, so it can be difficult to kill him on the first try. This means you’ll need to dodge and reapply your status effects after he lands. If you’re able to survive the entire fight, you’ll be rewarded with the Remembrance of Starscourge Radahn, the Starscourge Greatsword, Lion Greatbow, and stylish armor from Enia in the Roundtable Hold.
If your health is below 50%, Radahn will often follow his slash attacks with a jump attack. However, this is telegraphed, so it’s easy to one-shot him. To avoid this, you’ll need to be patient and time your dodges. Make sure to dodge when Radahn is about to slash down and run away when he’s about to jump.
While fighting the Starscourge Radahn, remember to use a shield. His meteors are extremely dangerous, and if you can stay hidden and avoid being hit by them, you’ll have a much better chance of winning the battle. You can use summons to help you take down this boss.
Avoiding his ranged attacks
One of the best ways to defeat Radahn is to avoid his ranged attacks. The purple arrows that fire from Radahn’s bow are slow to reach the player, so you should roll away from them as they approach you. While avoiding his attacks, you should also interact with the three shining spots on the floor to help your allies.
Avoiding Radahn’s ranged attacks is the most important thing to remember in this fight. Avoiding his ranged attacks will allow you to do a lot of damage and save your health. Avoiding his ranged attacks will help you avoid his devastating combo. Radahn’s first two attacks are melee, but his third one is a ranged attack. This means that you have to dodge his ranged attacks to stay alive.
One way to avoid Radahn’s ranged attacks is to stay behind him. While this might put you at risk, it will allow you to attack Radahn without fearing for your health. Just be aware of his second phase, because he can target you as well.
Avoiding his stomps
One of the most effective ways to defeat Radahn is to dodge his stomps. He is fast and has a vertical slam attack that you can’t see coming. It’s best to avoid this attack by dodging or riding. But if you are in melee range, it’s harder to dodge, so you’ll need to tank through the attacks.
Alternatively, you can use a magic attack to deal with Radahn. This type of attack launches purple orbs. These are easy to avoid, but the comets hovering around him are much more difficult to dodge. However, they deal massive damage.
Avoiding Radahn’s Gravity Surge is another effective way to defeat him. This massive surge of gravity affects a large area and makes it difficult to escape. A good strategy for avoiding this attack is to create a gap around Radahn just as he’s about to jump.
The last two strikes of Radahn are difficult to dodge, especially if you’re on horseback. Thankfully, there’s an option – using a spell like Torrent to evade his last two strikes. In addition, you can avoid Radahn’s slashes by circling around him. This way, he won’t be able to track you.
Using his homing gravity arrows
The first key to beating Radahn is to learn how to dodge his spears. When Radahn fires a shot, he will send a shower of spears toward the player. These arrows will follow the player, so do not get caught in them. To avoid his homing arrows, roll away or summon a NPC to protect you. After you dodge his homing arrows, Radahn will engage in several potential attacks before he crashes into you.
If you’re playing solo, the first thing you need to do is get some allies. Using his homing gravity arrows can one-shot you, but it’s possible to use debris around the battlefield to block his arrows. Also, summoning allies will help you get closer to the end zone.
The second key to defeating Radahn is to keep your distance. He is very fast for his size, so if you’re focused on ranged combat, he’ll close quickly. While he is fast, it’s not impossible to distract him with Torrent or summoning NPCs to distract him and draw his attention.
