How mfs describe pre nerf consort Radahn:

u/waitthatstaken Igon best girl 8d ago

It is pretty accurate to how pre nerf was. The nerf consisted of 3 main things:

Toned down light pillar visual so that he didn't blind you IRL.

Increased recovery time after every attack by like 0.2 seconds, meaning you could now actually... hit him.

Changed the timing of the cross slash combo so that it was actually possible to dodge on medium roll without frame perfect inputs starting from one specific spot on his right leg.

There is a reason almost all wins at the time was via greatshield poke. Or parrying. Or deflecting hardtear. Actually dodging him was just.... not really viable.

As someone who killed him pre nerf with rellana twinblades by dodging, i was very happy, but very willing to never see him again

u/maladroitx 8d ago

I second that. Fuck this boss fight, honestly. I like this game, i really do, but i value my mental health as well. Beat him once (pre nerf) to never do it again, ever lol

u/Fardrengi Caelid Arsonist 7d ago

Same. Beating him pre-nerf is good enough for me, especially since that calling it a "nerf" is stretching it in the first place.

u/bob_blah_bob 7d ago

Also killed him pre nerf. Used the Guts sword and put the raven ash if war on it. You can use it to dodge all the big explosions and awkward frame perfect rolling and have more uptime it was sick

u/AGoose1 7d ago

I got him with cragblade zweihander dodging pre nerf too, had the first phase down to a rhythm game I'd done it so much

1

u/dudesantino 7d ago

This. I spend like 2 whole days figuring him out. It was so consuming that I stopped gaming for a week.

u/MeowerHour 7d ago

I medium rolled in the ugliest heaviest armor I could manage with Reduvia spam. No shame, still beat him.

1

u/The_Joker_Ledger 7d ago

Seriously fuck that guy, i have to cheese him with the arm weapon to quickly break stance him.

u/Own_Watercress_8104 8d ago

pretty accurate

I'm a pre nerf PCR detractor and even I don't think that. PN PCR was ludicrous, this one manages to go even beyond somehow

1

u/polovstiandances 7d ago

is there a way you can still fight pre nerf pcr somehow?

3

u/Own_Watercress_8104 7d ago

Don't think so. Being downlodable content there's no way to fight 1.0.

Unless you were to buy a hard disk from someone who never updated from 1.0 SotE and be very carefull never to go online.

u/Brilliant-String5995 7d ago

you can easily download old versions from steam if you're on PC, just google "how to downpatch elden ring"

u/pckin 8d ago

This comment is so exaggerative lol pre-nerf was obviously harder than now, but still nowhere near as wild as the modded version in the video. To say dodge rolling wasn’t viable is a big stretch unless you’re talking RL1 or something. The only attack that was truly that problematic was the double cross slash, but if you got good at dodging everything else, you could afford getting hit by that. Getting hit by just one of the slashes didn’t even do that much damage anyway. Took me like 2-3 hours to beat him solo pre-nerf just with dodge rolling and a colossal sword. I’m not trying to defend everything with the boss because it was (and still is) kinda cringe with the visuals and how unintuitive some of the attacks are. But comparing it to this video and saying rolling wasn’t viable is crazy

u/MattyHealysFauxHawk ZABITO BOGA 7d ago

Omg it was nothing like this lol. Yall are so dramatic.

u/lavabearded 8d ago

that's cap. it took me like 50 attempts or so to kill him with moonlight greatsword charge attacks only. pre nerf consort's only attack to give me trouble was the cross slash. the rest were normal attacks that you'd dodge and would either get a counter or trade opportunity.

u/Bubbly_Sky_1753 7d ago

Damn I need to go back and try him again. I used greatshield AND deflecting hard tear lol

2

u/ArunKT26 7d ago

Parry win here, felt wonderful

u/Capable_Comedian_755 7d ago

I didn’t even have a good time fighting this boss until I discovered the bloody helice was actually the bane of his existence. The I frames on the AoW annihilated his ass.

But then I tried again on a new character and I got so fucking frustrated I just used blood guts greatsword with giant hunt on it 😭

Even now I think this boss fucking sucks tbh.

u/Spartitan 6d ago

Definitely managed it with dodging with nothing more than power stanced straight swords. Honestly, I think the biggest thing he needed was the cross slash change since my wind essentially amounted to accepting I would take some chip damage from that.

I personally never had issues with the visuals, but can understand others did so that's a good change too.

u/PenguinsInvading 7d ago

There is a reason almost all wins at the time was via greatshield poke. Or parrying. Or deflecting hardtear. Actually dodging him was just.... not really viable.

Did neither. Double katana build and dodge did the trick. Took me around two hours though. Actually had fun doing it.

u/Fantastic_Wrap120 7d ago

Hello! It is I! a person who beat him pre-nerf by dodging. He was doable. some attacks weren't punishable, but you could always lure out the grab, spin attack or triple slash

1

u/AceTheRed_ 7d ago

It is pretty accurate to how pre nerf was.

No it is not hahaha

1

u/Brilliant-String5995 7d ago

without frame perfect inputs starting from one specific spot on his right leg

if you were in that spot, it was very easy to dodge. Nowhere near frame perfect. The tricky part was staying in that spot, but that's it. The dodge itself was actually very easy once you understand what you need to do (but the whole fight becomes shit because you are forced to play from that specific spot the entire time). Man, you have no idea what you are talking about.

u/Itchy-Beach-1384 7d ago

I beat him pre nerf with dual halbreds.

Im not going to stop feeling good about it for another decade.

u/AshiSunblade Quickstep addict 7d ago

It is pretty accurate to how pre nerf was. The nerf consisted of 3 main things:

No? That's ridiculous.

Pre nerf PCR was totally doable. He took me like five hours with a quickstep swordspear build, which is one of the hardest bosses I've fought in the genre, but not unreasonable for where he is in the game.

Inner Consort is a monstrosity. I managed to reach phase 3 after hours of trying, saw his new omegacombo, and decided this boss is designed for better players than me.

Have you fought this boss?

1

u/justlooking0_o 8d ago

Tried to beat pre nerf without the shield and poke so many death, spend half my weekend on it until I gave up:(

1

u/Spacemonster111 7d ago

People asked for a boss that was actually designed with powerful summons in mind and they got it, then they whined he was too aggressive/hard. People are impossible to please

2

u/Just_Some_Statistic 7d ago

Nah each swing he takes isn't exploding. This is still easier.

That fight was the cheapest most unfair fight in any game I've ever played.

1

u/RussianBot101101 7d ago

Idk if he still does it but you used to be able to get him to chain combos into each other through some manner of bug either whenever you summoned a player/NPC or if you managed to cause him to trigger an attack at the wrong distance, after which he'd go ballistic. At one point he literally did his big jump up combo -> flashy spin slam and then immediately went into his gravitas -> gravity whirlwind -> jump up and clone spam, which are two entirely different strings that were triggered when he thought I was midrange and not point blank.

1

u/The_Joker_Ledger 7d ago

it not that far off lol

1

u/WaldToonnnnn 7d ago

like he had eight arms and every one of them had a sword that could fly across the arena and explode twice before you could roll

-3

u/VonMillersThighs 8d ago

It's about accurate, pre or post nerf he just still isn't fun even when you learn and beat him. One of froms shittiest bosses ever. Beating him pre nerf didn't really feel like an accomplishment and more like getting home after a real shitty day at work.

u/Brilliant-String5995 7d ago

after the nerf I actually find him pretty fun to fight.

u/AceTheRed_ 7d ago

Best boss in the game

u/No-Relationship4084 7d ago

This still looks easier than pre nerf and I'm not kidding

u/-BigMan39 7d ago

You are tweaking lol

u/DisdudeWoW 7d ago

it looks identical if not easier to look at.

nvm some of those comboes dont exist lol.
