One of the toughest bosses inElden Ringis the mammoth monstrosity known asStarscourge Radahn. A hulking beast,Radahn was accidently nerfedin anElden Ringpatch, though the latest update returned him to his former glory. But while Radahn is once again a decent challenge,Elden Ringplayers have discovered a way to cheese the boss fight and trick Radahn into killing himself.
Like many of the significantElden Ringboss fights, the boss fight against Radahn is essentially broken up into two phases. The first phase will have players attempting to avoid Radahn’s arrow shots while trying to get in close to lay in some hits. Up close,Elden Ringplayers have to avoid being hit by Radahn’s swords, which is no easy feat. But with enough perseverance,Elden Ringplayers should be able to cut Radahn’s health meter in half and progress to the second phase of the boss fight.

Starscourge Radahnkicks off this second phase by unleashing a devastating attack where he jumps high into the air and comes crushing down like a meteor. This attack can be deadly toElden Ringfans that aren’t careful or leveled enough, as it’s capable of killing many players in a single hit. However, the attack can also be turned against Radahn, with players figuring out a way to trick the boss into killing himself with it.
Elden Ring: How to Cheese Radahn
As pointed out by Reddit user HomeGrownCrown7,Elden Ringplayers can trick Radahn into killing himself, allowing them to instantly win the second phase of the fight and making one of the game’s tougher boss battles significantly easier. To pull this off,Elden Ringplayerssimply need to walk to the edge of Radahn’s area, near the water. If positioned correctly, Radahn will come crashing to the ground and land in the water himself. Once the attack animation is over, Radahn will fall to his death, givingElden Ringplayers a quick win.
It’s unclear if FromSoftware intended for this to be possible, so this Radahn cheese will be removed in a futureElden Ringupdate. TheElden Ringupdatesreleased so far haven’t really focused on removing cheese strats from the game, instead focusing on bug fixes and even adding new content, so it’s anyone’s guess if this Radahn cheese will remain in the game.
FromSoftware has left the variousElden Ringrune farming spotsand other exploitable areas in the game alone, so it’s possible that fans won’t need to worry about this Radahn cheese being removed. However, anyone wanting to try it out for themselves should make it a point to do so soon just in case it does get the boot.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
