The last boss of Shadow of the Erdtree is truly the hardest to fight, and the same is true for the base game. Promised Consort Radahn is an absolutely unfair fight that will demand everything you have, and having done a lot of runs through DLC with various builds may help. Here are the top five reworked fights from easiest to hardest.

Imperishable Thorns

First, Impenetrable Thorns, for all your sorcery fans out there, Impenetrable Thorns is probably one of the most powerful spells in the game right now, the damage this spell does is a kind of crazy, and it can even kill a lot of bosses in one go.

It can be picked up for free in Shadow of the Erdtree if you drop off the ledge in front of the door, and the path to Messmer only requires a 24 Faith requirement, and most builds should probably have to reassign some attributes to use it.

What really makes this spell shine is multiple bleed procs. You cast it once at range and it shoots out three thorns; they travel a distance before colliding with the enemy. But at range, all three thorns will shoot at the same target, causing a lot of bleeding to maximize this build. You want to use a staff that can scale with Arcane, like Alaric, or Ymir’s Maternal, and maximize your Arcane stats.

Putrescence Cleaver

The second one is Putrescence Cleaver. Putrescence Cleaver is a great axe. You will find from memory that you are only a night boss. This is an Arcane scaling weapon. It can split physical, magical damage, while also establishing frost status,

So it’s perfect to use against Radahn because he is susceptible to frostbite. For those who don’t know about frostbite, enemies with frostbite take 10% more damage from all sources.

Whereas Ashes of War is a bit silly, you may not get the chance to use it. But the axe moveset is pretty outstanding. The weapon also packs a punch, and the durability of the speed makes up for the raw damage and the balance damage, so it’s actually pretty cool, too.

Multilayered Ring Of Light

Third, Multilayered Ring of Light, compared to sorceries, DLC introduced a lot of spells, and as powerful as Impenetrable Thorns is, Multilayered Ring of Light is really good. It might sound a little counterintuitive to use Holy against Radahn, but he’s actually probably just as weak as Holy in the first phase because of his undead soul brought back to life, or something like that.

This spell is really fast, and it travels a long distance, and it also does a ton of damage. It does over 5000 damage on a single charge, which is quite a lot. But range is where this spell really shines, because you can snipe him even when he’s in the air, and you can pick up this Incantation before Putrescent Knight fight.

After defeating this unfortunate enemy, you can use Dryleaf Seal to enhance Melina incantations for a sweet little reward, as well as Sacred Scorpion Charm and Holy Shroud, and hack it here to maximize Holy damage.

Dryleaf Arts

Dryleaf Arts are another new weapon type added to Elden Ring DLC. These Martial Arts are really cool and fun to use because their fast-moving setup actually packs a heavy punch. You can find these weapons instantly from Dryleaf Dane and NPCs, and you can also use Elden Ring Runes to instantly trade in the weapons you want if you don’t want to waste time looking for them. You have to win the fight when you encounter him in Moorth Ruins, which is immediately west of Site of Grace after Renna.

To get his weapons, you can infuse Dryleaf Arts with cold, which grants frostbite proc, which deals an extra 10% damage to enemies affected by status effects. They work well as fast weapons, and synergize well with million players and Winged Sword Insignia, as they have multi-hit.

The only downside they do is the range, being short fist weapons, but moving will cause your character model to move slightly forward, so you won’t notice it when locking onto an enemy. This fight with Promised Consort Radahn is very difficult.

You might want to try a defensive counter with these fists. They are very powerful. Since you can break Promised Consort Radahn with three balances in a row, he gives you plenty of opportunities to do it, and each defensive counter will also multi-hit with these weapons, causing a lot of status damage.

Smithscript Daggers

Finally the fifth, Smithscript Dagger, Smithscript daggers are a new introduction to Elden Ring DLC, as a brand new weapon type that acts as a hybrid of a melee weapon and a ranged weapon, this weapon has a ranged light attack and a ranged heavy attack.

If you want to maintain DPS on enemies out of melee range, you can use it to jump. The attack is also ranged and will often headshot enemies, which works well against enemies for an extra 50% headshot damage.

Scattershot Throw Ash of War, which acts as a shotgun at close range, while also infusing dagger with bleed or frost for huge status damage. You only need to use it two or three times to deal status damage. Million players and Winged Sword Insignia work well with these weapons, getting more damage on multiple hits, as each attack will hit multiple times and trigger the buff.

Elden Ring Smithscript Daggers

You can find Smithscript daggers in Ruined Forge Lava Intake in the starting area of ​​DLC, these weapons are a little more complicated to use in this fight than some of other weapons on this list, but the end result is well worth it and it’s a very fun way to do it.

In the fight against Promised Consort Radahn, not only does he move much faster than you, but he also attacks like a truck. So your movements must be very precise, and hopefully the above guide will help you win in the game!
