One of Elden Ring's Mightiest Bosses Can Fall Out of the Arena

Starscourge Radahn - one of the most difficult and epic bosses in Elden Ring - can fall out of the arena. A player has found a simple way to defeat this opponent.

Games from the Souls series never lacked errors and glitches that make fighting some of the bosses easier. On the one hand we have Taurus Demon Taurus falling from a bridge or the Iron Golem sliding down from the top of Sen's Fortress. On the other -the Capra Demon or Manus, Father of the Abyss, who could be defeated without entering the arena by properly throwing dung and shooting a bow from a specific location.

All these are examples from the first one, but you already know what it's about. Did FromSoftware forgot about such tricks in Elden Ring? Of course not - even during the closed tests the community noticed that the fight with the first boss, that is Margit, the Fell Omen, it is possible to win the fight by making the wretch fall into the abyss (you can see it here). After the launch, so far no one seems to have succeeded in repeating this, and the battle with Margit is relatively easy to win. How about this: there is a similar way to beat Starscourge Radahn - one of the most difficult bosses in Elden Ring?

SPOILER WARNING

Both the rest of the news and the video below contain spoilers regarding the battle with Radahn. If you want your first fight with this boss to be an unspoiled experience, you'd better refrain from reading further.

How do you do that? Believing the video published by Reddit user HomeGrownCrown7, the method is trivial. Just wait until about halfway through the fight (that is, until Radahn loses about 50% of his life points), when the boss disappears from the arena, only to drop back on it in a moment in the form of a meteorite. When we lose sight of him, we have to position ourselves on the edge of the battlefield - in shallow water, just at the edge, the crossing of which would end with the death of our character - and wait for a sign from the sky.

When the meteorite approaches, we simply run away to a safe distance to survive. If all goes according to plan, Radahn will not land in the arena, but in a deep water. In a sense, he will "mistake the sky for the stars reflected on the surface of the pond." The fight will come to an end, and so will our suffering. But is it worth to end this epic battle in such a way? Each player must answer this question for themselves.
