Location revealed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Radahn can be located at <strong>Castle Redmane in Caelid<\/strong>. The boss can be encountered midway through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/elden-ring-ranni-quest-guide\/\">Ranni quest<\/a>, which many players may have already finished.<\/p>\n<p>To be more specific, to get to Radahn you must first visit a Site of Grace called <strong>Impassable Greatbridge<\/strong> once you are in Caelid. Nearby, there is a <strong>portal<\/strong> that will let you venture into Castle Redmane where you can speak with Blaidd, who is standing in a courtyard next to a large fire. He will wish you luck, which you will inevitably need.<\/p>\n<p>[squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n<p>From there, you can enter a tournament by speaking with a man standing at the top of a flight of stairs which is attached to a stone archway. He will give you a brief history lesson after which you must leave the castle and <strong>find a portal<\/strong> located next to a river on the edge of the grounds.This will teleport you directly to Radahn where you will arrive at the <strong>Wailing Dunes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If learning visually is more your thing, check out this really simple video on YouTube from Gamepillar below.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Where to Find Radahn Boss | Elden Ring (Radahan's Location Guide)\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-FSk976yvPo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-FSk976yvPo?si=ZQ8PGcCLTQ905xGF\">\u200b\u200b<\/a>How to beat Radahn in Elden Ring \u2013 boss battle tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you first appear at the Wailing Dunes, Radahn will start some a long way away from you and he will propel purple blasts of magic from distance in your direction.<\/p>\n<p>Our first tip here is to obviously roll out of the way and summon allies. Allow them a few moments to meet him in close quarters combat to keep his attention.<\/p>\n<p>At this point the projectiles will stop and you can use your mount to ride towards him swiftly.<\/p>\n<p>Once there, focus on attacking him from behind while your comrades keep his attention from the front. The majority of his attacks can end you in one hit, so keeping a healthy distance from time to time is crucial. If you do take damage, moving out of his attacking arch to heal is best practice.<\/p>\n<p>Many players who have been successful in defeating this boss have recommended using a melee weapon that can trigger the Bleed or Rot effects, as well as being at least level 70 before taking on this behemoth of a foe.<\/p>\n<p>His weaknesses are status conditions such as Frostbite and Scarlet Rot, so bear that in mind too!<\/p>\n<p>YouTuber Happy Mag makes overcoming Radahn look incredibly easy in a demonstration video, which we\u2019ve included below.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elden Ring: How to Beat Starscourge Radahn (Easy Melee Strategy)\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aamstdKsjhM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
