Great video BUT.. you don't need to touch Radahn.
1 - Mount up IMMEDIATELY and run away to dodge his initial ranged attacks.
2 - Circle back to the helper summoning stones and summon them as you ride by (As TheGamer demonstrated)
3 - Keep riding until the helpers engage Radahn (They run to him so sometimes it can take a little time)
4 - Chill until they begin to die and note roughly where they were when they died because that's where their new summoning stone will appear. I just kept riding during this.
5 - You can resummon them immediately. There doesn't appear to be any delay in how fast you can resummon them after they die.
Rinse and repeat.
In my case I would take the occasional opportunity to fire some bleed arrows at Radahn. I think I hit him with about 6 arrows the entire fight. I was no where near him when he went down. This fight relies entirely on the helpers, you're just along for the ride. The best thing you can do is keep yourself healthy, safe and keep the helpers summoned.
I was level 48 with 35 Vigor and 20 Dex. I had a +12 Katana that never got used and a +10 bow that I fired the bleed arrows with. My gear is literally starter gear from the Godrick knight. I didn't record it because I was messing around and never expected to win.

Hands down the greatest struggle I've had in this game so far.

At first I kept dying to the arrows 💀

However after seeing this video I understood how to do this fight. Using your strategy of keeping all the summons alive while maintaining my distance and sniping with my staff I was able to kill him 1st try after watching this video. Well done 👏

I think there is a limited amount of summons I tried to beat him with just npcs and they got him down to about 1/10 his health and then i couldnt find gold summons anywhere. I’m going to level up a bow and see if i can just help them out a little. It doesnt help that players have left white message marks all over. Think ill turn off multiplayer as well and try it that way.

You could defeat him with just summons.... That's if you can get past those BS arrows first lol.

Quick tip, if you’re doing close combat then run in a circle as yky approach him to dodge all his attacks and then stay right under him or right behind him and ride torrent while you attack

Odd how Rahman never misses me with his arrows even when I’m on horseback

[jerrbear]

Never before have I had so much fun by dying over and over

[TheIdleCrow]

I amazingly beat him on the first try! I was shocked!
I just kept circling him at a good distance reviving everyone and taking cheat shots at him with my longbow.
I'm a melee build, but I kept a good longbow on me & I would normally use it to poke enemies to make them come to me & fight on my terms.
The worse I did to myself is getting knocked off my horse and accidently gesturing on my PS5 controller lol. (Luck I didn't die the 2 times I did it)

Night comet spam is overpowered against this boss.

I beat him after I stopped trying to be cute. I got in there and just fought him with the summons and we beat him pretty easily. just stay out of his big attacks and attack him from the back while the summons fight him directly

[lachlanthompson]

the portal to get me in the castle says "cannot be used now" how do i fix this?

[Amadi]

I.... did not even realize those were for summoning... I never even tried or paid attention to them... I beat him on my own with the Hook Claws.... Seems like I made it way harder than necessary... Oh well! I did kick his ass though... he had barely a spec of HP when he lifted off for his second phase... when he landed back down, I only needed to strike him once... it was amazing...

[ratsmacker]

If he weren’t afflicted with scarlet rot and weren’t holding back stars, he’d be the the strongest Demi god lol

[koreyk]

When did Chucky Finster start doing elden ring tutorials?

[asianiandude]

used blood slasher 8 times he died pretty chill ez af ngl

[arthurbates]

The comments were more helpful than the video because he never showed a complete Play True it's easy to talk about it but it has to be shown visually

[ieuanjones]

Defeated him first try after watching this dope

[kieranallan]

Bro that was so easy I didn’t even need the video all I did was use blood flame blade and run around on the horse while my summons took the hits

[trDraco]

I beat him first try but I just enjoy your content at this point 😎
