Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - How To Beat Promised Consort Radahn (Boss Guide)

The shocking final boss of 's DLC is Promised Consort Radahn, who may be one of the hardest opponents to beat in any FromSoftware title to date. Those who remember Starscourge Radahn from the base game will understand just how dangerous he is in the DLC restored to his prime strength. It'll take careful preparation for you to even stand a chance against Miquella's champion.

Radahn uses two colossal greatswords, but Shields still tend to do well in his boss fight despite the damage your Poise might take.

However, have defensive gear against Holy magic and physical damage to stand the best chance against Radahn across both phases.

Some incantations, such as the Golden Vow , can buff your character's physical damage negation for a time, which can be a good way to stay alive against Radahn's strong attacks.
