How to defeat Radahn from Elden Ring?

Elden Ring was named best game of the year in 2022 by The Game Awards. Furthermore, soulslike is for many one of the best titles ever released in the genre. And the reasons are diverse, from a gigantic open world map to be explored, to the difficulty in facing your enemies.

And among them the famous bosses stand out, who require a unique strategy to eliminate them, in arduous and time-consuming battles. Among them, we have General Radahn, who is one of the first and most powerful in the entire game.

If you are having difficulty defeating him, today I bring you a little help on Voxel with some tips to defeat Radahn in Fire Ring. Check it out!

How to beat Radahn in Elden Ring?

To find General Radahn you need to go to Red Mane Castle, indicated in the image below. Once there, you must first defeat the creatures scattered along the path, and the Bastard Warrior and Crucible Knight bosses.

The main tip is to focus on your agility. I.e, focus on items that will allow greater movement during battleespecially in hand-to-hand combat. This is because, in addition to the need to run a lot, you will also need to use dodges a lot.

Additionally, it is crucial that you summon allies during combat. You will need to run towards the bright spots in the area, so that they are summoned and help your character in battle – or at least divert the villain’s attention so that you can use more assertive blows.

Another advantage is being able to use your horse throughout the fight. That way, it’s easier to run towards Radahn to attack him, or simply run away from his melee attacks. When the villain throws one or more arrows, use the rubble scattered around the area to hide and protect yourself.

It’s worth remembering that this is a somewhat long battle. Try to use healing or strength-increasing items only at crucial points in combat, such as at the end of your energy bar, or when he gives gaps by attacking his allies.

Is it possible to make Radahn die alone?

There are many videos published on social networks that show a tactic – somewhat unusual – to defeat General Radahn: make him die alone. More precisely, force the villain’s attack so that he falls into an area that causes his instant death.

To do this, in Radahn’s second phase, you need to position yourself close to the water so that, the moment he uses his attack that turns him into a kind of meteor, he falls precisely in this area. The moment he sinks, he is also killed instantly.

It is important to highlight: In the same way that many players claim to have achieved such a feat, others also say that, after updates to the game, it is practically impossible for this to happen. Therefore, it is up to you whether you choose to adopt this bold strategy or not.
