Defeating a rahdan with one of his own moves
There is a cool way to defeat a Radahn in the Elder Ring. In addition to using one of his own moves, he also summons purple skulls which will insta-kill any leveled player. This move is especially useful in a boss fight, since you’ll need to summon as many NPC allies as possible.
While you’re fighting a Rahdan, you need to make sure you have enough health and intelligence to deal a significant amount of damage to him. The best way to do this is to brute-force him, but be sure to be able to run to refill your health quickly. Otherwise, he’ll quickly fall. Defeating a Rahdan with one of his own moves can be a challenge in itself, so be sure you’re prepared for the challenge.
Defeating a Rahdan with one of his own moves in The Elder Ring requires that you learn the different ways to dodge them. One way to dodge their double-sweep is to use a blue sword in the air that will chase your target after it casts. When you do this, you have a small window to land your magic.
Using a gravity wave attack
Astel has a Gravity Wave attack. When activated, this attack creates a purple field around itself and suspends debris in the air. Once the wave hits the player, it will lift them and their enemies up, slamming them down and damaging them as they run back into the field. Using a Gravity Wave attack to fight Rahdan in the Elder Ring is a great way to annihilate the mighty enemy.
Radahn’s Gravity Surge attack can be a tricky one to dodge, so it is important to create a gap between yourself and Radahn. While this massive wave of gravity covers a large area, you can use your Torrent attack to avoid the Gravity Surge. Using a Gravity Surge attack can be tricky, but can be done.
Using a phantom attack
One of the most effective ways to defeat Radahn is to use your Elden Ring horse, Torrent. You can activate summons while riding Torrent to avoid being hit by them. It is also best to use your summons during the early part of the battle, when Radahn is mainly firing arrows at you. When the summons reach him, use a dodge roll to avoid them.
In addition to using the phantom attack, you can use other items and skills to increase the chance of getting lifesteal when fighting Rahdan. As the Lord of Blood is one of the hardest bosses in the game, you may find it useful to use a lifesteal Rune. You can use this rune to grant the blessing of blood to your phantoms.
Using a gravity pull move
The best way to fight Radahn is to use the gravity pull move. When Radahn flies into the air, he’ll dive twice at the player. To avoid being hit by the double dive, the player should roll into the sky and attack him. If you can’t get close to Radahn quickly, you can use a gravity pull move and use it to land a massive AOE explosion.
The most reliable way to avoid the Gravity Field is to stay out of Radahn’s range. This move will make enemies come towards you if you get close to him. When purple sparks surround him, back away to a safe distance. The Gravity Field doesn’t do much damage, so you can afford to be a little cautious and wait for his next attack.
