Defeating General Radahn
Defeating General Radahn is an important task in the Elder Scrolls VI. In order to defeat him, players must use their skills and mounts to deal with his acrobatic attacks. In this tutorial, we’ll focus on using Rock Sling Sorcery against Radahn. This skill can stun him with three or four hits. If you’re using a Meteorite Staff, use it as well.
After your health reaches 20%, Radahn will use his special magic attacks. His magic blast and meteors are both focused on the player, so the best strategy is to run away from them. You can also summon a warrior to help you out during this time. When Radahn disappears from the arena, you can heal and summon a warrior to help you. However, you should be quick to act because he’ll soon reappear as a meteorite.
This fight is easier for mages than it is for warriors. Once the summoning event has finished, wait for the next turn to engage Radahn. Once you’ve done that, you should use the Terra Magicus sign on the floor to distract Radahn. After Radahn is distracted, use a Meteorite spell on him. The Meteorite spell has a chance of working against him, so a bit of luck is needed to pull it off.
Using short-range magic
Using short-range magic to dodge Radahn meteors is one way to avoid this devastating boss. Radahn attacks when his health is about half and shoots himself into the sky. Players must quickly dismount and run out of the way to dodge the meteor. The best way to dodge the meteor is to run in the opposite direction of the boss’s trajectory and double jump. This tactic can be especially useful for melee and mage players.
If you are caught in the meteor, roll to create distance between you and the incoming arrows. Using short-range magic to dodge Radahn meteors requires great timing and skill. If you can’t dodge the arrows, roll towards the incoming meteor or try to use another type of magic to create distance. You should not risk getting caught in this trap. It is not worth the risk.
Using melee
A useful tip in avoiding Radahn’s attack is to use melee to avoid his arrow wall. While Radahn cannot use his arrow wall while far away, it can attack you when close to you. To make this strategy work, you should stay at least three summon signs away from Radahn at any given time. You should then switch to melee to continue collecting summon signs.
The best way to dodge Radahn’s meteor is to use melee. This type of attack uses your foot’s momentum to swing wildly and hit you from behind. Fortunately, you can avoid being hit by one of these orbs by simply running away. It is essential that you keep an eye on his blades, as they will swing toward you when he charges. Using melee to dodge Radahn’s meteor is also crucial when coordinating with your summons. Using constant melee attacks can help break Radahn’s poise and provide a large window for critical hits. Alternatively, if you’re fighting close to Radahn, you can use a spellcaster to deal damage while your melee attacks him.
Avoiding a radahn meteor attack
While avoiding a Radahn meteor attack in the elden is not possible in every situation, you can do your best to minimize the damage it causes. Whenever possible, use summons to distract the Radahn. If possible, mount a Torrent before the meteors fire. Also, when Radahn is far away, it is advisable to avoid combat with it altogether and instead use a natural shield, like sand dunes.
If you are facing Radahn, try to sprint in a diagonal line adjacent to the hilltop. While you are running, avoid getting hit by the meteor. Once Radahn has lost 20% HP, he will use his special magic attacks. You can use a magic blast, or a meteorite that focuses on a specific target. If Radahn does not kill you while you’re sprinting, you can still summon a warrior to deal with his attack. During this time, you can heal yourself or use the flask of wondrous physick to avoid being hit.
