The game has a collection of powerful bosses, with the Demigod story bosses having deep backstories and absurdly strong attacks to go with them. For this reason, they\u2019ve been popular (or resented) with the fans. But one boss fans have been especially passionate about is Starscourge Radahn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radahn is an overwhelming triple threat, with range, speed, and power. For this reason, he caused many a player to shout in frustration just after the game\u2019s launch. Then an update came with some overall adjustments that toned down his strength. But of course, Radahn was later updated again and brought more in line with how he was at launch because the previous update reducing the power of some attacks was unintentional (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220404-11154\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related article<\/a>).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-12-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But this beast of a boss has an unexpected weakness. He can\u2019t swim. This weakness was exposed because of his high-flying meteor attack. During this attack, Radahn rises into the sky, seemingly among the stars, and then comes slamming into the ground like a meteor engulfed in flames. The extremely powerful attack likely blasted a number of players to oblivion. But it looks like it\u2019s also possible for Radahn to fall into the sea when using the move. This phenomenon was reported by both Reddit user HomeGrownCrown7 and Twitter user @izuoku_.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Eldenring\/comments\/tx0mh9\/radahn_can_fall_off_the_map_during_the_meteor\/\">Radahn can fall off the map during the meteor attack<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/HomeGrownCrown7\/\">u\/HomeGrownCrown7<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Eldenring\/\">Eldenring<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/izuoku_\/status\/1512098221371191296\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If Radahn can slam down from outer space like a meteor, you would think he could jump out of a body of water. But both Radahn and his beloved horse die at sea. While from the standpoint of <em>Elden Ring<\/em>\u2019s mechanics, it\u2019s actually a fall death, it\u2019s more fun to think of it as a Demigod not being able to swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from Radahn, the community has also reported Margit and other powerful enemies dying from fall deaths, though it\u2019s kind of an anticlimactic way to go about defeating them. Luckily the area where you battle Radahn is large, so it\u2019s not hard to avoid the water. If you\u2019re looking to enjoy the thrill of battle, perhaps it\u2019s best to avoid the shoreline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring boss Starscourge Radahn has been found to have an unexpected weakness.
