The final boss in Shadow of the Erdtree (spoilers incoming for those who haven’t gotten to him yet), Promised Consort Radahn, was not impossible to beat by any means. I beat him during the review process of Shadow of the Erdtree before the DLC launched, and many more found success toppling him with unconventional or meta builds, and as usual with FromSoftware games, it wasn’t long before experts were able to make short work of him through no-hit runs and other challenges. A common concensus, however, was that even if you could beat Promised Consort Radahn, the boss fight itself was a huge pain to endure due to Radahn’s relentless attack patterns, minimal windows for counterattacks, and a Phase 2 filled with attacks and effects that cluttered the screen and make it challenging to see what was even going on.
Given that the Elden Ring patch notes just dropped this morning, we haven’t had a chance yet to see what, exactly, these nerfs amount to. But the nerfs for the scourge of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC are laid out below courtesy of the full patch notes seen here to show what’s changed:
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree‘s Radahn Nerfs
- Changed the action pattern when the battle starts.
- Adjusted some attack moves.
- Decreased the damage of some attacks.
- Decreased stamina damage of some attacks.
- Decreased the attack range of some non-weapon-based attacks.
