Radahn is more difficult than in the base game, with faster and more brutal attacks. Landing a hit is tough.

He is a mandatory boss fight to complete the DLC's story. His moveset is punishing and will require players to have mastery over perfect dodging and recognizing attack patterns. Therefore, you’ll need the best Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree build for Promised Consort Radahn. Next, we’ll talk about each build’s gear, armor, spells, talismans, and wonderous flasks.
No.1 Elden Ring DLC Best Radahn Build
Mimic Tear build is the best Elden Ring DLC for final boss. It allows killing Radahn without the player taking any damage or having to heal themselves, making it a very safe and "brain off" strategy. The build leverages the Mimic Tear's ability to draw aggro away from the player, forcing Radahn to focus on the Mimic instead. It utilizes status effects, especially bleed, which Radahn is weak to. By upgrading arcane and using weapons/skills that apply lots of bleeds, the Mimic can quickly proc status effects. Defensive buffs like Scholar's Shield and high absorption armor/shield keep the Mimic alive through attacks while constantly applying pressure.

No.3 Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Best Radahn Build
Death Knight build utilizes the Backhand Blade at max upgrade with blood affinity to effectively pressure Promised Consort Radahn through sustained blood loss buildup damage over time rather than high risk bursts of damage. With heavy investment into vigor for survivability, supported by defensive talismans, high strength, dexterity and especially arcane scaling allows continuous infliction of the bleed status effect, proccing massive damage ticks that steadily wear Radahn down throughout the sustained engagement. Rather than reliance on cheap Elden Ring items or single damage types, balanced physical and occult scaling from melee strikes and status buildups ensures damage is applied relentlessly without needing to heal.
