Although Radahn is a normal opponent, I consider the encounter to be the latest in a series of silly FromSoftware boss battles that go much smoother when you make use of their unique Elden Ring Runes gameplay rather than confront the threat as you would every other battle. For instance, think back to Dark Souls III's face-off against Yhorm the Giant. Sure, you could chip away at his gigantic health bar with your tiny weaponry all you want, but the developers wanted players to use a specific sword found in the arena to smash his looming cranium with wind magic instead. It makes what can be an extremely tough fight an enjoyable experience and feels more relevant to the theme.
Radahn's battle in Elden Ring is also all about making use of the resources available to you. Remember how I said several warriors were gathering at Redmane Castle for the festival? That means that you're able to summon not only one, not two however, but six NPCs assist you in destroying Radahn. I wouldn't say they help you fight as easily as shredding Yhorm to pieces using Storm Ruler, however having Radahn's devastating attacks focusing on someone else as you use hit-and-run-style strafing techniques at your horses is much superior to having him on your ass the whole time. It's even better in the event that your allies die - and trust me, they'll die often--you can summon them in a series of. It rules.
Oh yeah, you can summon Patches to the Radahn fight , however, do not expect him to remain there.
In any case there is a real fireworks show in the event that Radahn is defeated. Similar to what Sellen said, his death allows the stars will be able to move again. They must be itching to move their feet, but they soon begin streaking through the heavens en masse as they fill the sky with luminous luminosity as they return to their normal routine. Soon, a comet careens towards the ground and crashes somewhere over the horizon, leaving a huge abyss in Mistwood an early-game area. It's a constant geological feature throughout the rest of your time playing and grants you to gain access to a completely new area called Nokron which is the Eternal City. And while it's true that winning Souls bosses often alters the world around you, I'm not able to recall anything like this that was happening in previous games.
Elden Ring's General Radahn is everything I look for in a Souls boss. His backstory is both emotional and gruesome, and the narrative obscures just enough of his background to create an intriguing character, and he provides a unique experience with a variety of unexpected moments, the difficulty of which can be adapted in accordance with your individual preferences. "Big man in bigger armor that lost their mind" is a standard Souls trope, sure however I am awestruck by how the developers described his gravity-based moves using a touching connection to his horse. It's astonishing that, 13 years after Demon's Souls first released, FromSoftware can still create characters with this kind of an impact.
There are bound to be many of you who disagree out there--this is the internet after all. So feel free to tell me which you believe is the best Elden Ring Runes for sale character (or even your top Souls character overall) in the comments. If you're Radahn you're the best of friends.
