Promised Consort Radahn Boss Guide — Phases, Weaknesses & Holy Trick

The final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree — and the fight the whole DLC quietly builds toward. Promised Consort Radahn waits at the Gate of Divinity atop Enir-Ilim, returned through Miquella’s vow with two health bars and two very different rules. Do not confuse him with the Caelid festival’s Starscourge: this Radahn is the DLC finale, and he hits like it.

How do I reach the Gate of Divinity?

The path is the DLC’s back half: burn the Sealing Tree using Messmer’s Kindling, which opens Enir-Ilim — the spiraling fortress at the top of the Realm of Shadow. Clear it, climb, and the Gate waits at the peak. Reaching the DLC itself requires beating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg in the base game (see the progression route).

Phase 1 — Promised Consort Radahn

• 46,134 HP until the transition at ~65%. Twin curved greatswords, gravity magic, and relentlessly long strings — he was post-launch nerfed once and still walls most players.
• The phase-one trick is Holy damage: 0% negation. While he shrugs 40% of nearly everything else, Holy goes through clean — Blasphemous-adjacent incantations, Sacred affinity, Holy-infused weapons all overperform.
• Blood Loss procs fastest among statuses (326 threshold) — Rivers of Blood-style bleed pressure still works.
• Signature tells: the stomp-into-long-combo (6-Slash Basic Long Combo), the spinning gravity rush (Spinning Gravity Bomb), and delayed double-slash finishers that punish panic rolls.

Phase 2 — Radahn, Consort of Miquella

• 29,987 HP, same poise (120), but his moveset mutates: Miquella’s light rides his back — luminous afterimages, light-wave follow-ups on old strings, and arena-wide AoE explosions.
• His old combos now end in light pillars or radial beams — the safest windows are after his fully committed slams, and after the big aerial dashes.
• Bleed still procs (368 threshold in P2), frostbite too — physical + status beats elemental here.
• Summons: multiplayer is allowed and widely used — this fight has the highest co-op summon rate in the DLC for a reason.

What do I get?

500,000 runes, the Remembrance of a God and a Lord, and the Circlet of Light — and the end of Shadow of the Erdtree’s main story. If you are still assembling your build, our best bleed build is a proven template for this fight’s P2; if a different demigod walls you earlier in the DLC, Messmer is the other mandatory stop.
