Moist Critikal vs Radahn - Shadow of the Erdtree DLC 

"When do you punish?" "That's the neat part, you don't!"

When you can hear the frustration in charlie, you know the boss is rough

Miyazaki isn’t even trying to hide the fact that he has a favorite child with radahn

This is the only boss in the DLC that lives up to the complaints people had about the DLC being too hard

This is the only boss that physically made me spit on my TV after I beat him

this boss is the reason why we don't EVER and won't ever complain about fighting bosses past they're prime

My god lightspeed shadow clone radahn is not something I thought I needed.

4:03 I thought that shit was like a hidden Radahn voiceline

Charlie only having +10 flasks and wearing the divine beast head which further decreases healing from flasks is giving me conniptions

Bro says there’s no punish window while us knowing what second phase is like: 😬

Gotta hand it to him, Charlie is a very competent souls player with good patience and reaction times, even after speed running this game for months I still just slammed my head against the Radahn wall until I won lmao

For anyone struggling with this boss like here, literally just tank the light clones. They do barely any damage and trying to dodge them only winds up getting you hit by the part of the combo that does hurt.

4:04 bro i thought that was radahn powering up for a second 😂

Bro face tanked the rapture and still won

Some tips ive figured out The spam attack from the air can be sidestepped just make sure u dodge the 5th one. The holy magic after effect from attacks wont hit you if youre in his face(or nuts), the long range beam dash wont hit you if youre in his face the giant aoe can be ran from, the nuke can be ran from too all of his non slam or elemental attacks can be parried and will cancel the holy after effect. The meteorite with the spam after effect can be ran from with a last second side jump and the spam afterwords can be ran from or side stepped. The ONLY attack that is complete utter horseshit imo is the 3 hit combo that ends in a double cross slash, that cant be dodge realiably Boss is hard af and getting flashbanged is aids but its dooable. Also bleed and parrying destroys him

I want them to make a whole game of boss fights against the demigods when they were in their prime

“When do you punish??” That’s the beautiful thing Charlie… you don’t

“when do you punish” lol lmao

This fight is the embodiment of the sentence “Holy sh*t”

I once got greedy and tried to hit the boss once after an 8 hit combo, I still feel bad about it

Radahn when at 10% of prime Godefroy's Strength:

Radahn is a showcase example of why Fromsoft doesnt normally let us fight lore accurate bosses 😂

The focus lowering effect on his helmet was making this way harder lol

+10 flask in the dlc is crazy

dw you can punish him, you just need to wait until his 15th combo is over and dont do more than a single light attack or you'll die

I gave up on this fight and summoned ones of those let me solo her wannabes with the fingerprint shield and the scarlet rot dagger. Spent a whole week of all my free time 19 scadutree level, ashes, npc summons AND player summons.

What a beast, Charlie. Under 70 tries and with only fists. Awesome!

Only boss that forced me to respec

Get comfortable with the timing of all Radahn’s phase 1 attacks. He essentially does the same attacks in phase to minus his shadow clones and Miquella’s space laser. I finally got a good roll of him doing a lot of easy to dodge moves in his 2nd phase when I beat him. Having a level 18 shadow blessing didn’t hurt either lol

Thanks to who ever carried me through this fight I have no shame.

I beat the base game basically relying on summons. (Only game i played before this was Bloodborne) My girlfriend challenged me to do no summons on DLC. Humbled me greatly but I prevailed brothers lmao. Radahn took all 99 of my boiled crabs and 67 of my boiled prawns but I did it.

love how he gives zero reaction to anything :/

This is what you expect when you download a pack with the modder's OC in it.

This boss fight is the pinnacle of patience you can’t punish you can’t combo you just gotta get your hit it when you can and then get ready to dodge

FOOD WATER SUNLIGHT

11:57 The music and the meteor is something else .

Everyone was like How do I beat this and then they eventually did it. I died way more on Malenia back in the day. Granted that I have over thousands hours in Elden Ring after that, I still thing this boss is way harder. His mechanic is not as hard as Malenia, but all the move just blend together and you have to execute it to a much better degree than any thing else. And then there is the Divine Beast fight....

no mimic, no "cheese"...very impressive indeed my good man. Kudos to you.

He says it was the hardest souls boss… however he had to resort to cheesing first week pre patch Radahn with glinstone pebble on the back of torrent

Only way I was able to beat this guy was by using a 100% damage resist shield and just tanking all his hits while poking him with a bleed spear. It felt cheap, but I don't believe I would've been able to beat him with any other build. He never lets up, so you basically have zero punish window otherwise.

“been able to destroy every boss in the game” lmao thats a lie

crazy how fromsoftware made radahns second phase tank ur fps as a bit of meta difficulty, miyazaki is truly a genius

Should have been able to summon a bunch of NPCs for old times sake but oh well.

The only boss in gaming he didn’t boast about beating

Humbled after arrogantly claiming he's not struggled with any of the other bosses in the DLC

This is young, pre-prime radahn by the way. His gravitational ability here is still rather limited compared to even base game post prime radahn.

People brag about beating Melania, but Radahn, people put respect on his name

7:23 Mans doesn't even touch Moist but hits 3x. Tell me the fight is broke without telling me the fight is broke. Jesus at .25 speed you can FAINTLY see the illusions hitting him but in real time they are so transparent against the light from the attack you can't see it

It's always really interesting to me to see peoples' initial strategies when fighting bosses. I almost never ran away from Radahn and that instinct allowed me better success in phase 2 when it came to finding punish openings as well as avoiding damage. It wasn't something I really learned from the fight, that's just how I play the game. I never even thought about how painful it would be rolling away from Radahn like Charlie was doing.

Elden Ring: Golden Age a dlc where you fight all bosses in their *REAL* prime

5:07 If only he knew that Miquella literally mind controls everyone. Radahn being used here same as Mohg and Malenia were used.

Bro really said “fist only” with the Starfist 🤣

I spent the whole DLC bullying bosses. Promised Consort Radahn made me shield poke 😂

nice he used the frost fists I loved that weapon

The real fight is Radahn vs my frame rate. His lightspeed shadow attacks kill my frame rate and I can't do anything to avoid it

Took me more attempts than Melania. I used a bleed spear build with a fast thrusts ash of war to build bleed. I did pretty bad damage outside of the bleed procs but eventually after around 100 attempts I was able to get him. Hardest boss I have ever fought in gaming history. 7/10 great boss with some very blinding attacks that can give you headaches.

Him and Bayle are the WORST to fight. It took me 2 days to kill Bayle and I’m on day 3 of Radahn… help me. 😢

Charlie is maybe the best I've ever seen at quickly learning boss moves. It's really uncanny how he can get even the hardest bosses in games move sets downloaded into his brain so fast.

Radahn straight up turned into a super saiyan, he even leaves after images now

it's insane that on his first try in phase 2 he managed to dodge two of the after image attacks without knowning them

Phase one to phase two is the definition on one to a hundred

Seeing all these comparisons of the Radahn fight to Kingdom Hearts fights in the comments and yeah I have to agree. Lingering Will is not even the hardest in the franchise, but this for sure is way easier than that. Definitely helped my tolerance.

I beat every major boss solo except Radahn and Miquella. Even with a level Scadu blessing at level 19, I could barely scratch him. I chalked it up to using a faith build and the boss was highly resistant to holy damage, but it seems like everyone had trouble with him.

One day fromsoft will make a boss super hard without it just being arbitrarily difficult like having a frame trap move or arena that cancels I frames 🤡

Two absolute Chads duking it out on top of the world, NBD

The boss was hard as hell, and certain attacks were overturned, but overall a very fun and engaging fight, would do again.

What happens after defeating Radahn? We get to the credits and start a NG+? Or the journey continues?

I wasn't mad at all about this boss. My entire first playthrough I kept thinking "man, I wish I could see this guy in his prime"

“Skill issue blah blah git gud, etc” - you can say whatever you want to me, I think this is my least favorite boss in all of Fromsoft’s catalog. It just wasn’t fun in the end; I had little sense of accomplishment afterward putting him down. 😢

Charles is very good at this game impressive video

Anyone got any tips for the clones after the meteor attack. Seen a few methods for light rolls but not medium

Now I wonder what his thoughts are comparing this boss vs Spawn of Oggdo lol.

did he really call that ''fists only''? blud has spiky fucking balls on his hands

Praise the Great shield

Too hard or not, when I beat him I had such an incredible amount of satisfaction. Never had that before with any other fromsoft boss.

Charlie actually had really good rng on this run, I think the hardest attacks to dodge (other than the impossible cross slash move) are the meteor clone attack and overhead clone slam attack, and he didn’t use them at all in his run. At the same time, he somehow survived phase 2 gravity pull which is basically an instant kill, so nothing’s perfect 😅

He still had a harder time with that frog in jedi survivor

Best boss fight ever concieved

To people saying the boss doesn’t have punish openings, you just haven’t found them yet.

I don't even remember beating him, he took part of me and now I don't know if I really won

What a terrible first attempt! And this lickspittle of Fromsoft dared to call me who thinks this Final boss is bs, who first tried his first phase with 7 scad blessing, childish? I wonder what blessing he is on.

Took me changing my Tarnished to look like Malenia to finally get the God run and get the good dodges

8:32 I’d say it’s more accurate to say you go on Miq’s.

8:31 ...um...anyone wanna tell him that it's literally the opposite XD

bro beat radahn faster than afro senju

Charlie using a helm thats literally nerfing his healing hurts me

Radahn took me extra long because my controller disconnected 6 times when i was just moments away from beating him, i ended up switching to a wireless connection and beat the game 20 minutes later, felt like a chore at that point

Radahn gave me such a hard time I had to learn how to parry. I can’t even get to the second phase without parrying him.

The ost is giving Bloodborne vibes, i love it

I envy people who stay this calm and collective. I lost my shit after the 30th try...

i i got so frustrated at one point i turned my effects down to low thinking that would help..it didnt.there are alot of holy effects attacks though.

I apologize Orphan of Kos…THIS is the most BS boss. Music is incredible though (I have epilepsy btw, so phase two was so much fun)

wait, he used the strongest weapon in the game? 💀

I wonder if anything happens if you do the let’s go together emote during the fight

8:36 is it only me who didn’t encounter this type of death while fighting this boss for 4 hours straight?

Can't believe he didn't stutter from the second fase nuke what kind of pc u have my guy

Took me 4h30 with my frostmage build (Dark moon Greatsword and Zanor Ice Storm), no summons. Hardest boss in the DLC by far

Love when people criticise things like spirit ashes but use cheesy load outs lmao

Why must people refuse to block anything?

I don't think this boss was as hard as malenia but the visuals are god awful and the fight is just a roll fest. I used the same build as charlie for this boss took me like 86 tries. Malenia took me 3 days with an op fire katana build probably like 200 attempts I had to watch 3 tutorials to learn how to dodge her attacks. I hate that starfists miss radahn because he doesn't have an hitbox between his legs explains why he is the bottom in the relationship.
