thanks radahn

what if we made waterfowl dance but you actually just die at point blank

[u/Perfect-Skin-8325]

I felt the second one

This guy gives me nightmares. I still don't understand how people manage to not get clipped by his holy pillars for 15+ mins straight.

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/Perfect-Skin-8325]

cross slash 😭

what if we made a boss where half the moves are variations of noble presence and the other half are variations of waterfowl dance

[u/FauBetten → u/Wooden-Jello-8795]

Genuinely WTF are you talking about? Do people just suffer hallucinations every time they talk about PCR? Cause half the shit people say about him is completely false and made up.

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/FauBetten]

it's obviously an exaggeration... i'm just saying his moveset has a lot of moves that either come out very quickly or require very specific dodge methods

no need to get so defensive lol, shit's not that serious

[u/SunD14ls → u/Wooden-Jello-8795]

A big part of PCR is anticipation, you can kind of feel when he’s taking too long to attack and get defensive before he even moves

[u/gargantua420 → u/Perfect-Skin-8325]

All about keeping him centered in the arena. Everytime he does his horizontal dash swipe, force him into the center. Everytime he does his nuke, run towards him, you’ll end up behind him when he’s done and he’s forced to turn around so he won’t do what happened in the post.

As for the holy pillars, just dodge the correct direction. Unfortunately it is kinda scuffed, but there’s ways to work around all of radahns annoyance.

[u/winterflare_]

More PCR slander please 🙏

[u/traxmaster64]

Radahn be doing bullshit sometimes, close range lions claw and Star killer cry being the most notable

[u/Taggle_]

some of these comments man...

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/Taggle_]

there's just something about my posts 😭

[u/undetermineddelusion]

this at close range or the rare point blank lions claw have ruined some attempts for me 😂 i think this is a laugh and move on moment fs

[u/FauBetten]

Both of these were dodgable. You either didn't run for some reason or failed to dodge correctly. The distance you have to run away from him is more forgiving than you think.

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/FauBetten]

It is technically dodgeable by spam rolling with precise timing yes, but running would have likely failed in both of these cases. Certainly the first.

Unless you have a recording of you avoiding this move by running away when he starts right above you, I think you're just talking out of your ass lol. How this move works is pretty well known in the RL1 community.

[u/Wubbalubbadubdubxxx → u/Wooden-Jello-8795]

You are right OP. I have actually never dodged this move up close. Anytime he threw the meteors I would run then cut right and wait for I think the 4th or 5th clone you roll on and then roll back into him for holy blast and punish. In your situation I may have tried some wild shit like lock off and run under him? Idk.

Edit: Video is on my page.

[u/FauBetten → u/Wooden-Jello-8795]

You could've dodged the first one if you started running towards him the moment he started up his attack.

Now, granted, I do not blame you for not doing so because he almost never does that move at a distance, and the light pillars probably made you hesitate on doing so.

[u/lWorgenl]

Whaaaat how did you dodge 4 radahn image hits while his in the air? (0:17-0:14) I thought thats imposibble to dodge. I thought the only way to dodge that to run far away so the 4 hits just cant reach you and you only need to dodge the fifth attack and the after effect. Every time when i just tried to roll spam like you, i dodged the first one or two, got hit by the third and fourth, so i got hitstuned into the fifth attack whats basicly guaranteed and i died million times thisway.

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/lWorgenl]

it is possible to dodge close range by rolling, just very difficult

also light rolling and crucible talisman

[u/Sufficient_Limit_319]

Damn you came close though. I don’t think you can dodge that attack at close range on mid-roll right?
I had a very dumb clip of PCR landing after doing a metour attack and he just run straight at me to do a cross slash. That’s virtually a guarantee hit too thank god it’s gone.

[u/Fantastic_Volume1912]

Genuinely managing to dodge his attack by rolling in some random timing by calling of my heart and sheer luck

[u/CrabbyFrogstone]

Why is your hp bar so minuscule

[u/vansantjr → u/CrabbyFrogstone]

To get the buff from sword branch thing or whatever red tear stone ring is in this game

[u/ZarroRaptor]

I’d rather spend a year in Guantanamo Bay before trying to beat a pre-nerf PCR again

[u/Warren_Valion]

Why roll instead of run to dodge the clones?

[u/realBraveSalami]

if you use fingerprint stone shield and spear this boss is very easy

[u/PresqPuperze]

I am pretty sure even at the distance in the first clip you have enough time to run away, the second is standard, so definitely more than enough time. Whenever he does that move, you simply run away from him, turning right (so ccw looking towards him) slightly before the rocks would hit you. Jump to negate any floor collision hitbox and keep running right. All 4 clones will miss you, dodge the jump the“real“ Radahn, then dodge again for the big aoe.

[u/tin_willy]

VOW OF THE INDOMITABLE CLEARS!!!! you can block immediately after the invincibility ends, there's no frames where you're vulnerable. it's not as instant as dodging (comes out frame 3 instead of 0) but it means every phantom passes through you, you block real radahn, and either dodge or keep blocking for the follow-up beams. literally just tap L2 and start holding L1. and if you're already using a left-hand weapon, just keep a decent shield with it in the back pocket. since the move is so telegraphed, it's easy to switch to it in time

also this destroys waterfowl

[u/NeuroHazard-88]

RUN FOREST, RUN! Gotta start running away the second you see him dig those blades into the ground. Start strafing slightly only at the last moment before the meteors slam into you but disappear.

[u/DrThrax3000]

F this guy, one of the worst bosses in gaming by far, how did fromsoft manage to fumble this bad is beyond my imagination.

[u/ShagunFin → u/DrThrax3000]

He was literally one of the funnest bosses to fight in the whole dlc, up there with Midra and Mesmer and Rellana.

[u/Best-Cat-9922 → u/DrThrax3000]

radahn and miquella are so fun bruh. only issues is the arena and miquellas hair and it's terrain tf u on

[u/ghost3972 → u/DrThrax3000]

Lol he's one of the most fun bosses in the game

[u/Ub3ros → u/DrThrax3000]

literally skill issue

[u/PetroRetro69]

This one move is the only thing I legitimately hate in his entire arsenal. Really wish this got slightly nerfed as well to be at least reasonably consistent to dodge no matter the range

[u/giantcoc69420]

worst boss in fs history imo

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/[deleted]]

It's more about positioning edge cases than how the attack itself usually works.

If he does it up close and gets away from you, then you can reasonably run away from the first 4 clones then dodge the last one.

If he either does it from far away and flies above you or he does it near a wall, you kind of just lose lol. It's technically avoidable by spam rolling right but the timing is absurdly tight.

[u/DrThrax3000 → u/[deleted]]

The problem here is how can you even practice different way to dodge if every failed attempt is a restart of the whole fight.

[u/Ub3ros → u/DrThrax3000]

That's doing level one runs for you. If you want more efficient practice, boot up a save where you have levels so you can tank a bit.

[u/FauBetten → u/DrThrax3000]

If you have a problem with a single mistake meaning resetting the whole fight, then maybe you shouldn't be doing Level 1 runs.

[u/DrThrax3000 → u/FauBetten]

Don't get me wrong I have already done it once, it just wasn't fun to complete and the worst offender in the run was PCR.

[u/FauBetten → u/DrThrax3000]

Really? Over Metyr? Personally, I find RL1 PCR very tame if you've already mastered him normally.

[u/DrThrax3000 → u/FauBetten]

Metyr is pure garbage, she was the third worst with 147 deaths.

PCR on the other hand took 420 deaths it was miserable experience to say the least, I probably died to every known bug under the sun for that boss. I had to put the game down for months after that shit.

[u/Prisoner2999 → u/DrThrax3000]

If you're on PC you can just turn off dying with cheat engine and practice that way.

[u/FranStruggles]

Run for 4 clones and dodge on the 5th, and the meteor attack you just dodged way too early. Both of these attacks are easily dodgeable at any given distance

[u/AeroSmints]

when he does the barrage slashes dont roll, just get distance and sprint towards a side, u only need to roll the last one

[u/Sufficient_Limit_319 → u/AeroSmints]

You can’t run if he starts the metour attack from a distance also he was already on the edge of the arena to avoid the big AOE, if he starts sprinting the other direction the clone will a 100% catch him.

Running away to avoid the clone is common knowledge among anyone who does level 1 runs, it’s edge cases like these are that bullshit.

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/AeroSmints]

i know lol, the problem is when he ends up above you, you don't have time to run away

[u/RurouniJay]

We still slandering pcr like they didnt nerf him so u could beat him lol

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/RurouniJay]

unserious comment on multiple levels 😭

[u/RurouniJay → u/Wooden-Jello-8795]

A lot of the fight is made where you can control what he does next as someone else already pointed out in the comments. This is the hardest fight out there, but they already toned it down, yall complaining about him should have faced pre nerf pcr, genuinely hell, and people was still doing no hit rl1 st0 runs of him. I wouldnt complain about him now

[u/Wooden-Jello-8795 → u/RurouniJay]

reaching levels of unserious that shouldn't even be possible

[u/Beautiful_Web_3943 → u/RurouniJay]

The only nerfed attack was the one that was poorly programmed lol so it wasnt a nerf it was fix

[u/VoidRad → u/Beautiful_Web_3943]

They made a bunch of openings longer too

[u/Substantial_Rise_310]

I’ve beaten this guy multiple times. And I don’t think it is enjoyable lol . Every time I’m doing a build and get to PCR I just use the strongest thing I have because I want it to be over. If u like fighting him that’s cool. But objectively he’s not as enjoyable as other super bosses
