Shortly after FromSoftware dropped the expansion, theElden Ringcommunity rushed to figure out if there was a way to kill the DLC’s final boss in a single, massive hit. While the challenge is undoubtedly extreme, with the correct mixture of buffs, it’s entirely possible granted users have enough time to capitalize on their increased strength.
Posted to Reddit byWargasm_Actual, the player shows off their keen understanding ofElden Ring’s consumables by using the right amount of items to grant them enough power to fell Radahn, Consort of Miquella in a single hitjust a split second before their effects wear off.
The timing is the key given that without the buffs presumably gained by items like Lord of Blood’s Exultation, St. Trina’s Smiles, and Kindred Rot’s Exultation to name a few, the hit wouldn’t have killed Radahan.It’s undoubtedly a daring play, one made possible by the kind of timing reserved for parries and dodges.

WhenShadow of the Erdtreeoriginally launched,the DLC was accused by even the most ardent FromSoftware fans as being too difficultwith many insisting that the introduction ofthe Scadutree Blessing systemartificially inflated the challenge. Of course, those early complaints quickly died down as users adjusted to the expansion’s demands, eventually leading toheroic moments like smiting Radahnin a single hit. Wargasm_Actual isn’t the only player to have accomplished such a feat but’s still impressive to see that they did it on New Game+ 7.
As for players struggling to overcome the reborn Radahn, it would take weeks of practice to lock down the timing necessary to match Wargasm_Actual’s achievement but there are some simpler strategies to make the fight easier. First and foremost is toequip the Tarnished with Talismansthat help them endure the boss’s barrages:Pearl Shield Tailsman and Dragoncreast Greatshield Talisman are both effective at countering Radahn’s high holy and physical damage. Pearldrake Talisman is also helpful when it comes to reducing elemental damage.
As for the Wondrous Flask of Physick, the recommended mixture should be able to increase the amount of damage players deal while also mitigating incoming damage.Thorny Cracked Tear and Opaline Tear should render the best concoction to stand against Radahan. Remember,Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreeis all about patience and perseverance but a few extra buffs certainly help.
