11 Video Game Bosses With Genius Hidden Weaknesses

Of the hundreds of bosses that Elden Ring presents, Starscourge Radahn is among the most daunting. He may be an optional foe, but the legendary demigod must be eliminated if the player wishes to unlock the true ending.

However, defeating Radahn is a Herculean task. Even with the most powerful weapons, upgrades, spells, and stats, Radahn can end the fight with one swing of his blades. As a result, any tactic revolving around healing potions is obsolete.

Once Radahn loses half his health, he'll execute his most devastating move, launching himself into the sky before crashing to the earth with the force of an asteroid. Not only is this an instant-kill, it's astoundingly difficult to dodge.

Ironically, this onslaught will prove to be Radahn's undoing. Although his skills in combat are unequalled, the fiery titan isn't great at judging distance. While Radahn soars into the air to prep his finisher, the player doesn't need to worry. If they stand at the shore while staring out at the water, Radahn will plow right into the sea, bringing the battle to an abrupt (but welcome) end.
