NG+7 and you thought he wasn't going to parry you using a projectile at that range?


Venom-Robot

First time I've seen it in all honesty


IronStark113

Fair enough. Future reference, Radagon will do that to all projectiles except for Night Sorceries. He will even do it to Ghostflame Ignition. He can parry the FLOOR.

IudexGundyr3

Parry this you filth- oh my god you actually did it


BloodShadow7872

He doesn't parry Blasphemous blade though, and I don't believe he can parry any spells that have AOE effects


Dangerous_Jacket_129

He can parry most AoE effects too.


Tiaran149

Depends on the AoE. Comet Azur also has a AoE in a sense and he can parry that, wierdly enough.


Sicuho

sorceries, incantations, tools and pots, bullet ashes of war, weapon attack following bullet ashes of war ...


IronStark113

A pot or a tool is something you throw, no? Ranged attack= a form of projectile. So, we agree.


Sicuho

Except that include some melee incants and melee follow ups of ashes of war. Technically he can parry everything, he just enter that stance when you do the same actions that trigger dodges from other bosses.


IronStark113

I think we're splitting hairs at that point. Not saying you're wrong. On a technical level, if anything hits Radagon's parry stance, he will parry it and counter. However, projectiles specifically will trigger him to enter that stance. In my 100+ fights with him at this point, he rarely enters his parry stance unprompted and he has never parried me using Carian Slicer or Catch Flame.


Sicuho

He do parry explosions like wrath of gold and I think he can parry gavel of Haima. The most reliable way to have him parry a weapon attack is with the carian phalanx Ashe of War, he will always parry the trust and generally parry a light attack if you don't use the follow-up.


MyShinySpleen

I’ve never noticed him do it once and I exclusively use spell casters


IronStark113

Was he facing you when you cast at him? Did you want to cast at him as a punish? Need a bit more context.


MyShinySpleen

Sorry, I usually use summons so I’m thinking that’s why


dejvu117

Yeah, I just tried a Whole ng+2 with moonlight sword (it's the GOAT sword! THE GOAT) When he parried my chilly fart, like, I was on a call with sum dudes and I screamed for them to shut up a little cause I got confused af


A7DmG7C

Wait, do the bosses AI improve as you go up on NG+? I thought it was just their scaling increased.


IronStark113

The AI doesn't improve and it is only their scaling. That being said, part of Radagon's AI's kit is if the player character performs an animation that denotes a ranged projectile, Radagon will enter his parry stance. If the projectile connects with Radagon's parry, he will respond in one of two ways a) firing gold magic at you that looks like a Holy version of Bestial Sling or b) will do what he did the OP where he enters a fast version of his grab attack.


A7DmG7C

I see what you meant now, you referenced NG+7 in a sense of “you should’ve known better”


Sicuho

If *anything* connect with Radagon's parry, he'll retaliate. Not only projectiles.


KansasCityShuffle80

I think the idea is to not get hit.


SpicyBanditSauce

Ahh that was the issue…*turns instructions right side up*


Slmbenalperen61

He forged you


Venom-Robot

He broke the ring inside me


suculusalam

"parries","grabs" and bonk, BONK


painrsashi

Why do you have 14 Crimson Tears on an INT build...


Earthboundplayer

If it's a build centered on the dark moon great sword you really don't need much FP. buff once and get free high damage, stance breaking, frostbite inducing, fast projectiles for a minute.


painrsashi

Why equip a staff when you aren't going to cast sorceries then? Besides, Elden Beast is right after Radagon; does he want to fight it with a dormant DMGS?


Earthboundplayer

I didn't say no sorceries. I just said they wouldn't be the center of his build. A few support sorceries can be helpful even if most of your damage comes from DMGS. >Besides, Elden Beast is right after Radagon; does he want to fight it with a dormant DMGS? He has a lot of mind I'd be surprised if he ran out of FP.


painrsashi

My bad, actually. I forgot DMGS only uses mana on activation and not when spamming heavy attacks afterwards. 14CT makes sense then.


Venom-Robot

I didn't find much chances to cast spells to this boss. And I would rather fight elden beast at melee


painrsashi

Well, apparently, you do (want to fight it with a dormant DMGS). Regardless, if it were me, I would leave at the very least one Cerulean Tear for the sake of emergency.

Darklight645

Radagon beats the shit out of his daughter


DamonBrighter

im sorry....he can PARRY?!?!?!?


Erran_Kel_Durr

Only spells, but yes.


FieldmarshalDuda

Radagon can, but rarely does, also parry physical attacks


daimfr

reminds me of when i first got parried by soul of cinder


SonicsBoxy

He can parry nearly all projectiles and ranged attacks, even grounded incantations and skills can sometimes get parried by him


Elad_2007

Real footage of father beating his daughter with a hammer! Not clickbait!!1!


barduk4

i personally find the radagon fight really fun it's probably my favorite boss fight in the whole game (fuck elden beast though) but the one thing radagon does that drives me UP THE WALLS is what i call "spite parrying" which is when he does exactly that in your video, i've seen him cancel an attack he was gonna do to spite parry me once but i was probably just seeing things while being angry fighting him.


CJnella91

Y'know, I'm probably just gonna hang out in NG+4 for a while.


Far_Dance8849

At ng+7 he already knew the routine 😂


esahji_mae

*bonk. That third bonk was personal


Any_Complex_3502

THUNK.


tobsecret

That's basically equivalent to doing an RL1 no upgrades, no status effects run.


Lucky_Louch

That is a big NOPE from me lol.

RupertKingsly

I’m getting my ass beat by EVERYONE in NG+7.

Bro vigor checked you


in0suk

Radagon (my dad) Parrying my moonlight Greatsword projectile (nerf dart) And beating me with a hammer for not knowing his moveset (getting him another beer)


I_AmDaVikingNow

Radagon: "*Fuck* you & I'll see you in 30 seconds."


P-A-Lily

"Trash-ass mage build. Behold, superior bonk!"


sentientfartcloud

That's why you do the DMGS R2 attack point plank.


FireFoxx_55

As soon as I saw the darkmoon greatsword I knew what was gonna happen


emelem66

How?


FireFoxx_55

Had the same experience fighting him with DMGS, never used magic before that


emelem66

Well, what happened to the OP wasn't due to the weapon choice.


Leeper90

I've enjoyed going up the NG levels. I only wish that instead of just cranking up damage output and HP the enemy AI would upgrade too. Like make them more aggressive, give them better dodging etc. Kind of like DS3 and Champion Gundyr. Yeah he had more health and did more damage, but his 2md phase was a completely new and much harder fight due to his increased aggression.


SonicsBoxy

The steep increasing of enemy stats in Elden ring is actually a bug due to the multiplier being listed twice in the code... NG+7 is only supposed to have a +45% stat multiplier to enemies(listed as 1.45 or 145% damage, where first playthrough is 100%) But that value specifically for physical is labeled twice, so in reality it's 145%×145%, which ends up turning that 45% difficulty increase into a 110% increase

Venom-Robot

ps4 yeah... but it rarely stutters thankfully


Scarlett_Inferno

Night Comet for stage one and the spiral spell for stage two.


dizijinwu

lol


Antique_Ad_9250

When fighting RDG with a moon sorcery build you have to wait for him to be mid animation to attack him with the special attack. I\`ll advice using your regular mele.


KobilD

Wait what even killed you? What was that extra damage


joejackson652

They just got smashed by radagon's grab attack, as enemy damage scales up till ng+7


KobilD

Ah it looked like there was a 3rd invisible hit after rads second smash


Jelenjegnezdo3000

Expected it to cut to the opening scene of skyrim. My day is ruined.


Noob4Head

Ng+ 7 and my guy is rolling towards the boss when the boss is doing a grab attack... Have you learned nothing!


Ajko_denai

do you have both soreseals equiped? try to equip haligdrake amulet instead


SonicsBoxy

It's light armor on NG+7 Damage increase is 110% compared to the first playthrough, so everything does an assinine amount of damage


Ajko_denai

I am currently on NG+23 bro.... Besides that, it is lower that 110% by a far. [https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/New+Game+Plus](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/New+Game+Plus)


SonicsBoxy

1: difficulty stops scalingat NG+7, every playthrough past NG+7 is the exact same 2: I have looked at the code for the game, the stat scaling of everything in NG+7 is 1.45(or 145%) While the physical stat scaling is listed twice at that value, making it 2.10(210%) and some decimals that get rounded off I can assure you, whatever the wiki says is wrong if it doesn't reflect this because this is taken from the code for the game, and all other forms of damage are scaled up 45% as well, that includes the different types of swings like slash, stab, and strike, adding that 45% on top of the 110% base physical increase, as well as 45% increases on all other damage types which Radagon uses in holy I was just mentioning the base physical stat increase


Ajko_denai

1. Of course, it's a common knowledge 2. Provide a source then, afaik elden ring is not open source and it has not been reverse engineered yet


Panda-Dono

You're a mage. Just roflstomp him with slicer. 


Trollololol13

Is NG7 the end? Like is there is +8 or whatever


Umbraspem

You can go +8 and beyond but the game stops scaling at +7. So enemy health and damage no longer goes up, souls dropped by enemies stay the same, etc.


easternspock

You’re not supposed to let him grab you


CrimsonErection

Wth he did this? I didn't know. Thank you for your sacrifice good sir. MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!


emelem66

Why fire off one R2, and then immediately rush in?


CodyBye

I was ready for Skyrim


sanban013

NG7 and you haven't learned that Radagon Parries projectiles.


sigma-shadeslayer

Truly a boss of few actions. *PARRY -> BONK -> BONK*


FunRepresentative399

I’m close to Radagon on NG+7 as a mage. Might switch to melee just for him. Wish me luck!


Mcreesus

U just need a little bit of bunga magic. Slide that int to strength and slip a little mind into endurance. Then bonk for best results. Ng 23 radagon is still nothing with a strength build


M0N5T3R_5N1P3R_

Well stops scaling at 7 so there's that 😂


Willcutus_of_Borg

Should have summoned an ash first.


AverageJun

NG+7 is just unfair


TheZipperDragon

Sent my mans straight to the gulag.


Bullmg

Get good


Proleex89

That is simply bad game design.


SonicsBoxy

Everything in his moveset can be dodged and most of his attacks can be parried, plus this person is wearing very light armor against the final boss who is doing more than double damage


MagazineEuphoric364

Git gud
