Radahn, Starscourge
Complete walkthrough with step-by-step instructions, tips, and strategies.
Radahn is a festival boss — you fight him alongside summoned allies in a massive desert arena. He's a demigod who holds back the stars, and his fight is one of the most spectacular in the game. The gimmick is summoning: you can re-summon fallen allies throughout the fight.
Phase 1 — The Arrow Phase
Mount Up Immediately
Summon Torrent as soon as you enter. Ride to the right or left — not straight at him. Radahn fires homing gravity arrows. Ride in a wide arc to dodge them.
Summon Every Ally You See
Gold summon signs are scattered across the arena. Summon them all. Each one distracts Radahn and deals chip damage. Re-summon them when they die — there's no limit.
Close the Distance
Once the summons engage Radahn in melee, ride in. Hit him from behind while the summons tank. Radahn's attacks are slow in Phase 1 — you have generous punish windows.
Phase 2 — The Meteor
At 50% HP, Radahn retreats and launches himself into the sky. He becomes a meteor and crashes down:
Watch the Sky
He disappears. Look up — you'll see a tiny speck. That's Radahn. He falls fast.
Mount and Run
Summon Torrent and run perpendicular to his trajectory. The meteor impact has a massive AOE. If you can't outrun it, dismount (i-frames) as he lands.
Phase 2 Adds Gravity Magic
Radahn now uses gravity pulls and purple homing orbs. Use Torrent to stay mobile. Ranged summons are excellent here — they keep aggro while you close in for damage.
