Updated August 13, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : Now that the Elden Ring DLC has been out for a while, it's no secret that General Radahn makes a return at the end of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, as Miquella's consort, and as the final boss. His new armor set and weapons can be purchased after defeating this version of Radahn, and this guide has been updated to reflect these new Elden Ring General Radahn Intelligence scaling Build options. The Starscourge cosplay wouldn't be complete without a series of Gravity-based attacks, too, so this guide has been updated to also include some new recommendations on the best spells and Ashes of War for the best General Radahn build Elden Ring players can put together.

General Radahn was a master of Gravitational Sorcery and an imposing, terrifying warrior in close combat. Being a heavy bruiser and a master of Sorcery is a tricky business to build stats around, but with the right tools it's not impossible to blend these polar opposites.

Just outside the arena, players will find a spot with three Scarlet Rot geysers erupting in a coordinated pattern , one after another. In order to kill O'Neil without pressing the attack button even once, players should have him chase them around these geysers, which will erupt underneath him , dealing hefty damage right away, as well as slowly building up the Commander's Scarlet Rot infection meter. Three or four eruptions should be enough to drain all of O'Neil's

To get Crepus' Black-Key Crossbow, Elden Ring players must must use a Stonesword Key on the Imp Statue Roundtable Hold. Head to Hewg and look for the stairs that lead to the lower level. The Stonesword Key door is around the cor

In terms of the best General Radahn spells, which imitate his moveset in his boss fight, pick up Rock Sling and Collapsing Stars from the base game, as well as Gravity Well and Gravitational Missile. In the DLC, pick up the Ash of War: Spinning Gravity Thrust to imitate one of General Radahn's most infamous attacks.

This set also pairs well with most heavy armor sets in Elden Ring , enabling players to create unique combinations. In particular, certain pieces of the Veteran's Set can seamlessly integrate with Banished Knight armor, offering a distinct blend of both sty

By this point in the game, one will likely be in the low to mid-hundreds as far as their level goes, so there should be a lot of points available for a re-spec. All the weapons typically employed by this build scale on Arcane, so that will be the stat focused most. Assuming a level 130 character, the stats should be something like this:

The Light Crossbow gives players the ability to deliver as much damage as the Shortbow but at a much longer range. The drawback of the Light Crossbow, with all Crossbow-type weapons in fact, is the Weapon Skill . The Kick skill is only useful in very specific circumstan

The Light Crossbow is also a more stable weapon than the various classes of bows. Unfortunately, this doesn't negate the fact that all longbows have better damage and range than this weapon. Archer builds will want to replace this with a better weapon as soon as possible, but it's not a bad weapon over

One can always use their favorite Ash summon, but there are a couple that are particularly good for fighting bosses near the end of the game. The first is the Mimic Tear Ashes of course. It doesn’t do a ton of direct damage like it did at Elden Ring’s outset, but it still has plenty of health and excels at distracting the enemy. Better yet, the summon uses all of your equipped weapons and items, meaning it can help trigger blood loss on enemies. If one doesn’t already have it, it can be fought and obtained near Nokron.

These aren’t exactly mandatory, but they do pair well with the above weapons. So, for starters, try to get the Shard of Alexander talisman, as it gives a big buff to the attack power of weapon skills. It can be obtained at the conclusion of Iron Fist Alexander’s questline. Next is the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman, which increases attack power if blood loss is inflicted upon an enemy. This can be won from Esgar, Priest of Blood in the Leyndell Catacombs . Another handy talisman is the Godfrey Icon ; this one buffs charged spells and skills.

A great heavy armor set that players can obtain in two variants throughout the game, the Banished Knight Set offers robust Fire damage negation, very high poise, and serious physical defense. What's even better is that this is one of the best armor sets in Elden Ring players can get very early in the game by farming Banished Knight enemies in certain areas, like the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Cae

The Elden Beast poses a mighty challenge that wraps up the entire storyline, and although it isn't the most difficult boss in the game, many players still find it quite difficult to beat, especially if they struggle to find the right tools for the job. Those playing a mage character can consider themselves lucky, though, as this class can deploy a spell that is arguably the easiest way to beat the Elden Be
