The latest patch for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree made some surprising changes, one of which was nerfing the last boss of the DLC, Promised Consort Radahn. But some players have decided that this is a move in the wrong direction and have begun modding these changes out.
FromSoft's patch nerfed the damage of Radahn's attacks, stamina damage, and range. Fighting Radahn will be by no means easy, but it won't be as much of an ordeal as it once was. A small part of me is happy to see these changes as I'm yet to fight Radahn, but really, I don't want any help. I don't care how long it takes or how infuriating the final fight is.

While this will make the fight easier in some aspects, it doesn't change Radahn's strength; it just makes it less of a chore to keep up with his, at times, chaotic attack
