One Elden Ring player has discovered a neat trick to kill Radahn mid-air during his iconic meteor phase. Elden Ring is famous for its more than 100 bosses, making it one of the most difficult games ever made. Despite being a highly demanding game that requires gamers to be on their toes, Elden Ring players praise it for the sense of accomplishment it provides after overcoming a difficult boss. Moreover, the feeling of finally beating a challenging Elden Ring boss after multiple attempts is possibly the primary selling point of FromSoftware games.
Starscourge Radahn is among the most famous bosses in Elden Ring and is also one of the strongest. He possesses an impressive collection of close combat and ranged attacks that can one-shot some of the strongest builds in Elden Ring. Moreover, his fight is unique as players can call many NPC summons like Patches and Iron Fist Alexander for help. After depleting nearly half of his HP bar, Radahn flies off and returns after a few moments, crashing onto the battlefield as a meteor. This meteor crashing move is possibly his strongest as it can instantly kill most players. However, one gamer has found a way to bypass this deadly move and turn the tide in their favor.
Reddit user huasgaaua shared a video that shows their act of bravery in Elden Ring. The footage shows the user's encounter with Starscourge Radahn, whose health bar is nearly empty while their HP bar is enormous and almost full. Radahn can be seen performing the meteor crashing move as he is flying rapidly directly towards the player. For most other Elden Ring gamers, this would mean certain death, but not for huasgaaua. The user counters Radahn's move by doing the Ancient Lightning Spear attack, which is the default skill of the Bolt of Gransax spear in Elden Ring.
Starscourge Radahn is instantly killed after this attack, but surprisingly, huasgaaua also manages to survive Radahn's deadly meteor. Radahn's offensive move took away a giant chunk of the user's HP bar but not enough to kill them; hence they survived. This unusual occurrence hints at huasgaaua's impeccable timing to connect their attack as a slight misstep could've cost them their life. It also suggests how much the original poster focuses on leveling up vigor than other attributes.
Those who want to try the above technique must have the Bolt of Gransax to perform the Ancient Lightning Spear attack. It is a lightning-imbued weapon, and players can get it from the Leyndell Royal Capital region. As seen in the video, the Bolt of Gransax from Elden Ring can be an excellent weapon for large enemies and performing deadly ranged attacks.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
