Starscourge Radahn | Elden Ring Wiki (2024)

Gravity Arrow While at a long range, Radahn will charge his arrows with gravity magic, before firing it.The arrow itself home onto you, and can deal enough damage to knock you off of Torrent. He will usually target the player with this attack. Dodge accordingly. You can use the terrain or obstacles to block the arrows if needed. Radahn's Rain While at a long range, Radahn will draw back his bow and fire into the air, causing arrows to rain down from the sky, which track the player down. Get onto Torrentand run perpendicular to him. Scattering Shot Radahn will draw his bow and fire a large spread of arrows. This attack is quite inaccurate, but can hit multiple targets. Dodge as needed. You can use the terrain or obstacles to block the arrows if needed. SavageSlams and Sweeps Radahn will sometimes attack with semi random sweeps and slams. Most of the time these will be isolated, but he can chain them together up to (typically) a chain of 4. These attacks are slow and predictable. Dodge them in isolation. If he chains 2 slams together, it means he will chain 2 more after. If you notice this, dodge towards him. You are safe under him until he finishes the chain. Get a few free hits in and dodge away when his chain is done. Double Slam Radahn will jump with both blades above his head and slam them down together. His attack down is faster than expected. It is better to dodge early rather than later. This heavy attack can do heavy damage since you will be hit by both blades. You can either dodge away freely or can dodge towards him for extra damage. It will take Radahn some time to recover from this attack. Dive Attack Radahn roars with his blades at his side. He then dives forward, swinging twice slowly, then 3 times in quick succession and ending with a ground sweep. Dodge the first slam early and the second slam late. Dodge his next 3 attacks in a similar manner. The sweep can be avoided by rolling or by being too close to Radahn.
Alternatively, you can dodge or run towards him and stand under his feet. From here you cannot be hit and can get free greed damage. Try to stay on his right side, as his final sweep can damage you. The wind of his final sweep can damage you as well, so dodge it and get out from under him. After phase 1.5, on the final sweep make sure to either be far enough behind him that the gravity wave will miss you or be far enough away to give yourself time to dodge it. Gravity Step While close to Radahn, his foot will surge with gravity energy. 0.25 seconds later he will quickly step back and sweep everything that was close to where he was standing. This attack is dangerous when you are close. Watch for when gravity surges through his leg and immediately dodge. When he makes his wide swing, either dodge towards him to get extra greed damage, or dodge away for safety. Quick Swings Radahn will build up with both blades on his right side. His left arm will be across his body, with the blade horizontal with his shoulder. His right arm will be vertical above his right shoulder with his right blade vertical above his head. After a 3 second build up, he will sweep with his left blade followed by a slam with his right. He will immediatelysweep back with his left blade from the other side with no delay. He will pause for 0.5 seconds with both his blades on his right side. He will spin with a wide swing of both blades on opposite sides of himself, traveling a large distance. Finally after 0.5 seconds, he will spin with both blades close together on his right. It is possible to stand below Radahn to avoid these attacks, but it is very dangerous, especially after phase 1.5. It is more consistent to avoid his attacks. Be patient during his build up. Dodge left through his first sweep. He should miss you with the immediate slam. Instantly dodge back to the right into hissecondsweep. Wait 0.5 seconds for his double sweep. Dodge through it to the left. Wait 0.5 seconds again for his final sweep. If you dodge to your front right, you will end close to him and you can get a few free hits in. If you dodge back left of his final attack, you will have a moment to heal if needed. Forward Slam While close to Radahn, he will sometimes lay both of his blades on top of each other in front of his face and slam forward. Radahn will use this to punish greedy attacks. While right next to him, if you see him lean back with his blades in front of his face, immediately dodge. He will take a moment to recover from this attack. Either dodge forward to get some greedy damage, or dodge away to recompose. Chasing Slash Radahn will begin to chase and circle around you while he is close. Depending on which way he is circling you, his one blade will be trailing him. After a long build up, he will make a wide swing. It is very easy to panic roll during this attack. When you notice him chasing you with one of his blades trailing, count 3 seconds and dodge. Quick Spin Radahn will make 2 spins with quick sweeps all around him. While spinning, he will move quickly and typically move away from you. Stay away from this attack, as it can stunlock and lead you to an early death.

Cragblade (Phase 1.5)

Radahn will move to stand in front of you and clash his blades together. After he will slam straight down and burry his blades in the ground. Gravity will start to surge through his body and blades. When he pulls his blades out of the ground, they will be covered with rocks, causing them to deal extra damage. He will then gain a few new moves after this. Use this opportunity to hit him a few times or heal. He will usually do Starcaller Cry immediately after this transition.

Starcaller Cry

Radahn will cross his swords and release a mighty roar, causing everything around him to be pulled in, similar to Gravitas. He may also do a follow-up, where he slams his swords down in front of him, causing an explosion. Riding on Torrent will either knock you down, or simply deal damage. If you do get pulled in, make sure to immediately get behind him to avoid the follow-up attack. Cross Dive Only after phase 1.5, Radahn will run away roaring on his horse. He will turn to face you and charge with both his blades crossed in front of him. When he gets close he will jump up and dive down quickly. A gravity wave willerupt from him. After phase 2, if he has his meteors up, he will send those to attack Do not try to dodge through the dive. During his charge and jump, run away. After the dive, dodge through the gravity wave when it reaches you. If meteors are up, dodge side to sideas he charges. Gravity Waves Only after phase 1.5, Radahn will charge his attacks with gravity magic. At the end of attack chains when he does this, he will send out a wave of gravity magic.He will do this on 3 different attacks. As the last part of his cross dive, as the final sweep of his dive attack, and as a stand alone attack where he digs into the earth before sending the wave After phase 1.5, you need to be less greedy and watch for this. It can be deadly if too close but easy to dodge when far enough away. If possible, get onto Torrent and double jump over the wave. Otherwise,it is easierto jump over instead of dodging through it. Collapsing Stars Only after phase 1.5, Radahn will slam his swords on the ground,sending out a pulse of gravity magic around himself in a dome. Multiple gravity orbs will then appear. After a short delay, they will start flying towards you. If they hit, they will drag you closer toRadahn. Dodge as needed or run perpendicular to him on Torrent. Getting hit by even one can cause you to get hit by the rest, which will also bring you closer to Radahn, giving him an opportunity to hit you with melee. If you are on foot, just dodge to the sides. Meteor Crash
(Phase 2) Radahn slams his swords on the ground, before leaping into the air. After a delay, Radahn will fly back into the arena, crashing back to the ground in a glorious explosion. Radahn will use this move when transitioning into phase 2, and every three minutes after that. Heal up as needed. You have a long time here. When you hear the roaring of his flames, look for him. He tends to be in the direction you were facing when he jumped. Ride Torrent perpendicular as soon as the sky goes red and you see Radahn entering the arena. This will likely kill any NPCs remaining, so make sure to go out of your way to re-summon them. MeteorSummon Only after phase 2.Radahn will slam both blades into the ground. After some build up, he will pull his blades out of the ground and 4 meteors will be flying around him. He may release these to fly at his target at any time. Be prepared to dodge once the meteors are released. They will curved in an arc to catch you. Getting off of Torrent and dodging them can help.
