⚔️ Final Boss Overview

The final boss fight has two phases:

Radagon of the Golden Order – a fast, aggressive holy knight.

Elden Beast – a massive, cosmic creature with area attacks and divine magic.

You must beat both phases in one attempt—no checkpoint in between.

🥇 Phase 1: Radagon of the Golden Order

🧠 Key Mechanics:

Uses a large hammer with Holy damage

Many attacks have delayed timing—roll late!

Teleports and slams the ground for AoE bursts

🗡️ Strategy:

Stay medium-close to bait melee attacks

Dodge into his hammer swings, not away

Punish after his multi-hit combos or ground slams

Keep an eye on his glowing hand—signals a big AoE is coming

🛡️ Builds Tips:

Melee:

Use weapons with Bleed, Frost, or Pure Physical

Equip Haligdrake Talisman to reduce Holy damage

Bring Flask of Wondrous Physick with Holy resistance

Magic/Range:

Radagon is resistant to magic, especially Holy and Sorceries

Gravity spells or Night Sorceries bypass resistances

Keep a summon like Mimic Tear or Black Knife Tiche to distract him

🌌 Phase 2: Elden Beast

🧠 Key Mechanics:

Elden Beast resists almost all magic and Holy

Frequently flies away and repositions

Has massive AoE attacks and a deadly homing ring spell

Arena is huge—expect lots of running

🗡️ Strategy:

Stay behind or underneath the boss’s belly to avoid most attacks

Roll through sword swings and holy explosions

When the ring of light follows you (Elden Stars), run in a wide circle

Focus on quick burst damage between attacks

🛡️ Builds Tips:

Melee:

Use fast weapons to hit and run

Jump attacks can reach the belly for critical damage

Stay locked off and focus on positioning

Magic/Range:

Best options: Comet Azur, Meteorite of Astel, Rock Sling

Use Spirit Summons to distract while you cast

Stay mobile—long-cast spells are risky

🌟 General Tips

✅ Recommended Spirit Ashes:

Black Knife Tiche – dodgy and high DPS

Mimic Tear – matches your build for full versatility

Latenna – great ranged distraction for Elden Beast

✅ Best Talismans:

Haligdrake Talisman+2 – reduce Holy damage

Erdtree’s Favor – boost HP, stamina, equip load

Green Turtle Talisman – faster stamina recovery

Radagon’s Scarseal – for Strength builds

✅ Item Suggestions:

Flask with Holy-Shrouding Cracked Tear

Preserving Boluses – in case of Scarlet Rot from earlier

Rune Arcs – for a boost if you're using Great Runes

🧪 Cheese Strategies (Optional):

Comet Azur + Cerulean Hidden Tear combo: Fully charge the laser while a summon tanks

Swarm of Flies Bleed spam: Still works well on Radagon

Poison or Rot may tick away damage if you can apply them early

🏁 Final Thoughts

Practice Radagon's timing — he’s the real test of reaction and spacing

For Elden Beast, patience is key — it’s less aggressive but punishes greedy attacks

Don’t rush. Watch patterns, deal safe damage, and stay alive
