Summary
Many players have tried to take down the final boss inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree,but one has figured out a way to defeat Promised Consort Radahn without engaging in combat.Elden Ringwas already known for its challenging boss battles, which have spawned countless tales of dedicated gamers attempting to vanquish powerful enemies like Malenia, Blade of Miquella in unique ways. This would continue when theElden Ring: Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC was launched in June, with one of the expansion’s most notable opponents being Promised Consort Radahn.
Confronted by players at the very end of theElden Ring: Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC, Promised Consort Radahn has become just as iconic among the game’s fanbase as the aforementioned Malenia, with players sharing their stories of besting this punishing boss using tons of unorthodox methods. For example, oneElden Ringplayer powered up their Tarnished with all manner of status buffs beforekilling Radahn with a single blow, while another unleashed the power of the saxophone to take down the armored warrior without suffering any damage.
These examples still involve battling with Promised Consort Radahn, but one player recently figured out how to winElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss battle without fighting at all. A player onBiliBiliseemingly discovered this method, which was later shared by Sheng Qian on YouTube. As it turns out, a Tarnished can use the invisibility-grantingAssassin’s Gambit Ash of War skilland the Unseen Form sorcery to hide from Radahn at the start of his designated boss battle, protecting them from the enemy’s mighty attacks.

TheElden Ringplayer can then use this opportunity to toss a pair of Hefty Poison Pots and one Hefty Rot Pot at Radahn, which starts to eat away at the boss’s health. Next, the player uses the Mimic Veil item to transform into a statue as Radahn’s health bar depletes. He eventually suffers enough damage to enter hissecond phase as Radahn, Consort of Miquella, but he seemingly cannot tell that the suspiciously placed statue in front of him is actually his enemy. Radahn then starts walking away from the transformed player, seemingly phasing in and out of existence before vanishing completely.
This results in Radahn’s health bar going all the way down and the player winning the boss battle, all without actually engaging the giant warrior in combat. Gamers have discovered interesting ways to defeatElden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree’s powerful final boss, but the idea of tricking Promised Consort Radahn into growing bored and abandoning the fight before it starts is one of the most novel approaches to appear online since the popular DLC was released.
