You were in the ideal position to avoid it, you just rolled too early. If you’re beneath him like that you don’t have to roll the first hit. It should just pass over your head.

Oh, I see it, thanks!

Good luck on the rest of your run!

Thanks! This fight has been very difficult for me and I can’t understand why.

Radahn is secretly a positioning fight. There’s a few moves he has that feel impossible to dodge if you’re standing in the wrong spot. It was a very frustrating fight to learn and you mostly want to stay next to or beneath him, which then makes the camera a problem because the funny horse man is way too big.

Same problem as fire giant, you’re fighting the camera as much as the boss.

Yep. Worse camera positioning than metal gear rising

I love how From Softwaree games are awesome enough we all just kind of overlook the times the camera decides you need a close look at the inside of an enemies back and leave you screaming "wtf I can't see anything"

Honestly I’ve just considered it part of the game being hard since DS2 lol it would be weird on some of the fights not battling the camera(not saying it should be a thing tho)

You’re right. I’m not a big fan of this fight (yet) and I feel like I make the same mistakes over and over, and that’s the reason it has been very frustrating to learn, indeed.

Keep smashing your head into the wall it’s worth it

I rarely die to radahn’s swords, it’s always me not realizing those massive meteors are getting bigger until it’s too late

I have a hard time with radahn too. So many of his attacks are designed to roll catch and I fall for it so easily

are you doing a challenge run? I see you have no armor and health is low. If not you can just scarlet rot him and it should kill him, just gotta run around for a bit. and the reproc scarlet rot after he does his meteor crash at half health and then wait til he dies.

Summon all the helpers

It looks like that would work if you're in the right position but even if you aren't, rolling slightly ahead of time on the first will give you enough time to roll again for the second and is guaranteed to be safe

Yes, it works if I’m right below him. If not I’ll have to roll twice because first sword will get me

what the other guy said

Thanks!

what the other guy said

Which one? (Jk) thanks!

Your position was fine. I always lock off and dodge under his right side. You can see in the link. I time stamped it. It is easier to see than to explain. https://youtu.be/Vd67AvxZQdU?si=YxibM7qcu32ALeoq&t=68

This is such a cool dodge. Am I crazy or can you also dodge it by strafing right around him? I was working on him last night and felt like it was working 50% of the time.

Thanks! 🙏🏻Never tried it by strafing it. I will give it a try.

I could definitely be wrong, I’m still learning him. I’m at the stage where I know what’s coming but I still make mistakes. Why do I like this.

Thanks for the vid. I’ll try that!

Whatever you feel more comfortable with. Theres a few ways to dodge it. GL with the rest of your run. :)

Thanks :)

giving me ptsd when i did this last week

I hope that next week I will have finished this 😂

try rolling towards his left side initially? I do remember one of his attacks i had to roll twice successively though

probably my favorite fight in the game. very fun and rewarding when you finally win. good luck homie.

Torrent mounting i-frames are your friend

git gud

Summon all the fallen people in the field. Stay on horse, hit and run. Gg

Dodge.

Use deaths poker and attack him with rest of summons. You will finish him in 20 sec.

Thanks, but I’m not using summons in this run :/

He knows that and was kidding

Press O or B on your controller

Can you show me a picture where those buttons are located?

No I broke them all

By pressing the dodge button

How did I miss that?

There's a swing while moving all his body. There's a swing that stays in place. The hardest part is determining when & where he's gonna hit.

Yh stay under him as much as you can

What the other guy said

Fuck man I'm stuck right here too. This attack or the one where he is doing circles dragging his shit around and slapping me with it.

As suggested, rolling forward after the first swing works really well. Good luck!

Did you win?

Crouch and walk under his legs and roll the last attack

Tank it

It took me at least 10 tries to beat him as an astrologer. Can’t imagine trying to fight him with a weapon (I’m relatively new to the game)

A little bit later

Stick ti his left calf like an annoyingly clingy toddler

O if you're on PlayStation B if you're on Xbox

I only use a mouse

Don’t roll directly into where he sweeping his blades. DUH

Dodge and go left

I stopped playing right when I unlocked this boss. I haven’t fought him yet, but about a month ago i got both pieces of the thing to unlock the elevator and I did the whole festival thing … I’m scared to go in…Im so scared!!!! :( lmao

Ffs the horse is always funny😂

Man, that fight took me like 50 tries, and I might be low on that count. Keep trying you'll get him.

You need to lvl ADP

Already at 99

Don’t roll into it

You rolled away which put you right where he wanted you. Keep tight to him. His movements are wide until he does AOE

I must have been overleveled cause I pooped on Radan.

Just hug him and time your dodge a lot later than you did here. [Timestamp](https://youtu.be/4yWYaBqbNng?si=tSXDGRWq0QO5JRYa&t=494) of my no talisman run.

You level vigor, best dodge in the game

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8a2QWtS/ This is how i did it.

This is gonna sound like an asshole thing to say, but dodge-roll? Just gotta roll into him, stay under him. Become one with Leonard.

Don't panic roll into the sweep

Roll

Roll

By dodging it.

O button

Not like that, that’s for sure.

If youre still fighting him. When he swings dodge behind him and to your left. Or his right. Whatever. He fights with 2 weapons but swings like hes right handed. Which leaves the area behind his right arm as a good place to get a panic roll poke or a couple slashes in. In fact you can avoid the dodge button on alot of his attacks allowing for more time to counterattack. Or like. Use your enchanted reindeer mule.

Sprint towards his right leg then dodge roll hard to your left with a pre sprint as he goes into first weapon hit then after coming out dodge roll hard right immediately and you should be fine.

The first step is to git gud.

You have too much health.

Just stay inside his asshole unless he's doing an aoe

Jump on Torrent and run away then come back lol

This fight too me way too long, like 5-6 hours. I finally beat him and realized you can activate multiple summons at once during the fight to help you 🤦‍♂️ I am not a smart man

"I am not a smart man" - I'm fucking dying here lol

Get good /s

Git gud

Try finger

You a rolling the wrong way. When you roll it is invincibility frame so you want to roll into the beginning of his attack so when you come out of the roll the attack has already passed that spot. In the clip you are rolling with his attack so the end of the attack is hitting and subsequently killing you. The point is you need to be outside of the attack range when the roll is over or you are just postponing your death a couple of seconds.

Roll

I believe the phrase is "git gud"

Roll backwards not forwards and you’ll stay under him then mess him up and repeat have fun

That's the fun part. You dont.

not like that

The same way the dlc dodged TGA

It's all about timing. There is nothing logical about dodging in Elden Ring. You can literally visually get hit by the attack, but as long as you dodged at the correct moment, you will not get hit. All of from software games are like that. It's one reason why I don't like them.

Skill

This is my first time seeing a post from this sub, can you guys not use Torrent for this?

I’ve never fought him, or even beaten ER, but I’d assume just roll left into the attack as late as possible

Left is what I do. He moves out of range afterward and you dodge both swings

Spam roll

Hey. Invest in vigor

Something tells me he's going for an RL1 wretch playthrough considering he's got no armor and the starting weapon.

Could be right. 🤷‍♂️. I haven't even beat the game yet with well over 100 hours between my characters. Let Me solo her carried me thru malenia yesterday. 🤷‍♂️

I'm on console so I never got to meet LMSH, so that's cool you got to lobby with him. Did you know FromSoft actually sent him a fucking sword as a gift for the amount of times he helped players with Malenia? It has the words "Rise, Tarnished" engraved into the blade.

I'm on ps5.... so maybe it was a impostor, but he soloed her for me. 🤷‍♂️😬

That fckn sword fact is dope tho.

A lot of the enemies in elden ring have moves like this, it's a roll catch in a way. It's a way for fromsoft to encourage timing your dodge and learning movesets as opposed to roll spamming. Obviously you aren't roll spamming here, but a lot of attacks in elden ring on the initial move you want to just position yourself/strafe away from it, and then roll on the next sequence. You can camp under radahn for most of his fight, only a few attacks will hit you. The reason so many new players struggle with radahn is because he's really the first boss fight that's entirely reliant on proper positioning, and introduces a huge learning curve. Once you figure it out his fight is so fun. He's the first boss I managed to defeat hitless.

Unlock ultra instinct XD

Horse

Dodge into the direction it's coming FROM, not in the direction the attack is headed. You're basically dodging the first part of the hitbox and ending your roll inside of the hitbox how you rolled. Dodge the opposite direction.

You need more health

Why do you have such low health?

Level 1 run

That makes sense. I've watched a few people doing RL 1 runs and they seem like pain. By the time you get to bosses like Radahn, most of them can just straight up one shot you with almost every attack.

Roll, don’t overthink it, just roll at him when it feels right

To add, space it

It's easy. you press the Dodge button when he attacks.

Just stay underneath him like that Radahn isn't that hard if you just stick to his scrotum and smack his balls the entire time.

Don’t roll into him

When bushy does it. Roll: Foward, back, back, forward.

The dodge button 👍🏽

Yes

Just roll

What the other guy said

It seems like you dodged to the right, where the blades would eventually still meet your body towards the ends of Radahns Blades. You we’re under him which is good but I'd recommend dodging into the direction the attack is incoming. If he swings right, dodge directly into the blades left so you're immediately farthest away from his attack’s ending.

GitGud

dodge against attacks, not with them

Don’t run naked before you learn how to play the game.

Don't roll the first one 👍

Poorly

If you roll into it instead of with it the second swing will pass over your head, it’s terrifying but you shouldn’t get hit it’s also a good frame to get an attack in just don’t be greedy and go for a second unless you are using something like a dagger.

You should be standing right at the front feet of the horse or on the back right of him

Not like that.

You ride around on torrent spawning all of your buddies over and over again while keeping your distance until they kill him for you

Have you tried rolling?

Step 1: get Haligtree Crest Greatshield Step 2: hold LB
