How to defeat Radahn, Scourge of the Stars
First of all, don’t be scared (yet) neither by the colossal size of the battlefield, nor by the threatening appearance of the enemy. It is a very special combat, since during a part of it you will be able to count on the help of several allied warriors . It’s going to be a very tough battle, so prepare well before you start; don’t rush and prepare the best items you have before interacting with the teleportation portal on the beach, as touching it will immediately jump into action. Our advice is that once you enter, do not be afraid to die. Instead, try a few times to see how the mechanics work.
- First phase of the fight: as soon as you enter the fight, be careful! Radahn fires huge arrows from far away, but they are fast and very dangerous. When you think the projectile is halfway between you and the enemy, he rolls forward to avoid it. And as soon as you do, he searches the ground for summoning signs ; they are allied warriors who will fearlessly run towards the monster and draw its attention right away. Take advantage of that moment to get close and attack behind him when you can, always being very careful not to fall victim to his powerful and long combos.
- What You Should Know: Radahn is capable of wreaking havoc with his magic, which covers much of the stage and is potentially deadly. Also, if you are very close he will launch many fast attacks, while if you move away he will draw the bow on him again. Since there is no possible way to be safe anywhere on the battlefield, we recommend being close to it, but with caution. Also, keep in mind that at a certain point, your allies will die and you will have to fight a direct duel against your rival, so bet on blocking an attack and rolling to avoid the final blow of his combo; is the best time to attack .
- Second phase of the fight: When you manage to remove approximately half of his health bar, Radahn will enter a permanent state of rage. He will get stronger and won’t give you a second to rest. However, his attack repertoire won’t change too much, other than powering up his magic spells even more and using them more often. Basically, the best strategy is the same as in the first phase: stay close to him, alternate blocks and dodges based on your stamina, and attack wisely when he takes a couple of seconds to rest after performing a combo.
