Radagon of the Golden Order is a Boss in Elden Ring. This Elden Ring Radagon of the Golden Order Guide features boss locations, tips, strategies and videos on how to defeat Radagon easily, as well as boss stats and lore for Radagon.
Radagon is a tall, fractured god wielding the hammer that shattered the Elden Ring, and is found in the Elden Throne. He was previously married to Rennala, but became Queen Marika's consort after Godfrey was exiled from the Lands Between. Completing Brother Corhyn & Goldmask's quest to a certain point reveals that he is the "other half" of Queen Marika. Despite being of one body, the two do not share the same will, as evident from Radagon attempting to repair the Elden Ring after Marika had shattered it.
This boss is NOT optional as players must defeat him to reach the end of Elden Ring. As with many endgame bosses, Weapons, Incantations, and Spirit Ashes capable of inflicting Black Flame are highly recommended as they deal damage over time based on the boss' maximum HP. Be aware that depleting his health completely immediately takes you into the cutscene leading to the final boss fight - Elden Beast. If you die to the Elden Beast, you are required to fight Radagon again before reaching it.
Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Shardbearers drop their own unique Great Rune and Remembrance capable of being transformed into powerful Weapons, Spells, Ashes of War, and Talismans for the player.
As the husband of Rennala of Caria, the red-haired Radagon studied sorcery, and as the husband of Queen Marika, he studied incantations.
Thus did the hero aspire to be complete.

Radagon of the Golden Order Combat Information
- Health: NG (13339), NG+ (13353), NG++ (14688), NG+3 (15356), NG+4 (16023), NG+5 (17359), NG+6 (18026), NG+7 (18694)
- Deals Standard Damage, Slash Damage, Strike Damage, and Holy Damage.
- Can block spells and throwable items with very high damage reduction (all damage types). Reduces status buildup as well.
- He can use his "shield arm" to block melee attacks as well, but this will happen only on accident (if Radagon is attacked during blocking a range attack).
- Parriable: Yes (Regular, non-charged melee attacks only. It also only provides an opportunity for riposte on every 3rd parry)
- Can be poise broken. Poise: 120
- Particularly affected by offensive Godskin Incanatations
Upon defeat, a cutscene will play and the fight against the Elden Beast will begin.
Absorptions
- Phy (Standard): 35
- Phy (Slash): 35
- Phy (Strike): 10
- Phy (Pierce): 35
The absorption numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if an absorption is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% is absorbed. Bigger number = less damage. An absorption of 100 means no damage goes through, and a resistance of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances
Poison: 627.4
Scarlet Rot: 627.4
Hemorrhage: Immune
Frostbite: 627.4
Sleep: Immune
Madness: Immune
Death Blight: Immune
The resistance numbers are the buildup amount to trigger it. For example, if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of whatever aux buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs.

Radagon of the Golden Order Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Radagon of the Golden Order:
- Use the Black Knife Tiche Ash Summons
- Use Lord's Divine Fortification to greatly reduce the damage of Radagon's holy attacks. Alternatively, Divine Fortification, Haligdrake Talisman (+2, does stack with spells) or Holyproof Dried Liver help to a lesser degree.
- Use Black Flame Blade, or other offensive Godskin incantations, as he has 0 resistance to fire-based attacks and Black Flame incantations deal additional percentage-based damage over time.
- Fire weapons are advisable, Magma Blade and the Blasphemous Blade are strong choices. With both weapon arts dealing high fire damage.
Melee Users
At the beginning of the fight, you can run toward him and safely make an attack or two (depending on weapon speed).
Radagon is vulnerable to poise damage. If you're consistent about applying it, then he can be poise broken 3 times in this fight, giving you a much-needed break to reapply buffs, drink flasks, or stack more damage. Heavy thrusting swords like Dragon King's Cragblade can guard counter quickly, which is useful since taking advantage of his openings is much more difficult with slower weapons like Bloodhound's Fang. Most of his moves have long recovery time, which will let you get in a jumping heavy attack or charged attack.
Use Godskin magics, like Black Flame Blade. As stated in the Godskin Prayerbook, Godskin incantations were created to kill Gods such as Radagon.
The biggest melee threat in Radagon's arsenal is his grab. When his arm starts glowing, he starts readying a lunge grab, which has limited tracking and a generous hitbox. In testing, this move killed from full health at 50 Vigor, using Lionel's Set and damage reduction talismans. His grab has a medium lunge that can be outrun. Begin sprinting away as he starts his grab, and it will never hit you. Alternatively, his grab can be reliably dodged by rolling into him.
Recommended talismans for melee users: Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, Haligdrake Talisman, Green Turtle Talisman. This combo will let you tank a few of his hits with as little chip damage as possible. He'll often hit you even if you roll past him, thanks to his backswing, so it's important to keep as much health and stamina as possible to follow up on his openings. The Crimson Seed Talisman will stretch each flask further in this marathon of a final boss.
Magic and Ranged Users
At the beginning of the fight, you can hit him with two fast- or medium-casting spells (although sometimes he parries the second), or one slow-casting spell.
When fighting Radagon at range, there are two major threats - maybe three. The first is his big ground slam. This is easily identified by him leaping into the air and hovering for a bit. Reflexes say dodge when this hits the ground but that is the last thing you want to do. It's not so much a typical AoE attack as it is a nova. So, the attack spreads out. You want to dodge after he hits. It might take a try or two to get this one figured out. The second major one is when he charges up his hammer and slams it three times in a row for big fan-shaped explosions. Much like the first, this one has some deceptiveness built in. It is not a 100% fan that hits everywhere it lights up. It actually fires out several trails, one of which goes right towards you. This becomes super easy to dodge once you realize this because all you need to do is dodge backward (or forward) at 45-60 degree angle and he'll miss with all of them.
One note about the first slam is that it might feel like a good time to get in some damage, and it is, but don't get caught with your pants down and in a big animation. Even if he looks like he might attack a spirit or friend, he has a tendency to change targets while up in the air and gives little warning!
The third major thing to watch out for is his lightning bolt. However, this one doesn't have much in the way of trickery, but getting the timing down might take a try or two.
Once you can reliably avoid these three things the rest of it is pretty easy in terms of defense. The biggest trouble is finding the time to get the hits in. Something with a quick animation is your friend, but he is also prone to losing/switching aggro so you can hit him with something big here and there. He also seems to maintain a fairly steady tempo, so his wind-up/wind-down/recovery between attacks feels consistent and can help you get an idea for when to attack.
As for what he is weak to? Good question! Testing would be required, but he seems to take a lot of damage from most things. Glintstone Icecrag hits him really hard, and Stars of Ruin can do some work if you need a bit more range. Hitting him with Ranni's Dark Moon when he loses aggro can give you a little boost in damage going forward thanks to its magic resistance reduction. Quite frankly, he takes a lot of damage and could even be considered fairly squishy, but he has a tendency to take you out of the fight before you can capitulate - or he'll do enough damage to you that you go into the next round without as many resources as you may need. Note that Radagon will not use his ranged damage reducing move against night sorceries, making something like night comet good to bring along
One thing I did find is that Black Knife Tiche (bless her soul) is as good against him she is against most bosses. Her rot-blade or whatever nonsense she flings around can easily take 20% of his Hp by the time its DoT runs out, so she is a good one to use. She's also durable enough that she will last through both fights without issue.
With a little luck and some good timing, you can eliminate Radagon inside a minute, if not quicker, leaving you with just the follow-up fight to deal with. As a sorcerer, that one feels like a lot bigger threat!
For incantation users, Black Flame and Lightning Spear are both effective punishers. Radagon also seems to be vulnerable to the Frenzied Flame spells. Frenzied Burst is highly recommended due to it's long range. For the second phase against Elden Beast, Pest Threads (at close range) deals heavy damage to large targets such as the Beast.
Radagon of the Golden Order Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Description | Counter |
| Radagon’s Spear |
Radagon throws a large holy spear towards the player, which lingers before exploding. | Jump over or dodge to the side and keep distance from the bolt until it explodes |
| Holy |
Radagon throws five small holy spears in front of him in a fan formation, which linger before exploding. | Dodge through them. |
| Grab | Radagon's missing arm materializes with golden light, raising it before grabbinh the target with a shockwave, before beginning to slam them with his hammer. | The timing on this one is strange the attack lags and leaves you prone to panic rolling. Wait about two and a half seconds and then roll into Radagon. |
| Charge Swing | Radagon charges towards the player with their hammer held out to the right. | Dodge into Radagon. |
| Gold Breaker | Radagon jumps into the air, hovers for a moment as his hammer glows, then lunges down towards the player. | Dodge towards Radagon as he lunges down. This avoids the AOE pulse of the attack, making it much easier to avoid. |
| Elden Shattering | Imbues his hammer before slamming the ground three times, the last one painting the symbol of the Elden Ring on the ground. | Move away or dodge into it. |
| Draining Field | Radagon sunmons a holy spear and slams it down, creating a field that drains health when one stands in it. | Dodge and move away. |
| Imbued Hammer Slams | Two variations, including a regular slam with an AOE, or a dragging attack, which leaves behind a damaging field which later explodes. | Dodge into it. |
| Teleport | Radagon teleports away, creating a shockwave everytime he reappears, dealing minor damage | This is arguably the most irritating attack, as it can be chained quite often. Just dodge away from it. |
Radagon Lore, Notes & Other Trivia
- Originally Radagon's lyrics were all in Latin, but the music production team decided to make them untranslatable just like in the other boss songs, as a result only few Latin words ended up in the official lyrics of the Final Battle theme. This was confirmed by Youtuber Antonius Tertius (aka redditor MAGISTER ORGANI) who contacted the singers and music producers of Elden Ring and published the lyrics and backstage information regarding the music production of the game on Youtube.
- The Final Battle theme was originally named Marika, which suggests that the developers probably had sketched a Marika boss fight; this information also comes from Youtuber Antonius Tertius, the one who contacted the music producers and singers of Elden Ring.
- Upon using the Law of Regression incantation on a statue in Leyndell Royal Capital, a message will appear saying "Radagon is Marika".
- The description for Marika's Hammer says that Marika shattered the Elden Ring, while Radagon attempted to fix it, suggesting that the two halves are in conflict with each other.
- In the introduction to elden ring the two halves are shown, Marika shattering the Elden ring and Radagon attempting to repair it.
- According to Fromsoft player stats, Ragadon is the 4th most fought boss in Elden ring. With a Whopping 148 million attempts by players worldwide. - Elden Ring Stats Reveal How Many Times Players Attempted Malenia

AnonymousCan't consistently roll through any of his ground slams, especially not as a co-op summon. Genuinely not sure whether it's possible to dodge through them 100% of the time, and it's not practical or fun to either be right next to him or 40 yards away from him the whole time. Jumping just ... doesn't work, even though people online say it does. "Draw aggro with Spirit Ashes and sling spells while safely out of his range" is the only way I've ever been able to do this fight
Also not fond of Elden Ring doing the classic JRPG thing of giving you tons of cool status effects to use throughout the game, and then making every lategame enemy immune or almost-immune to all of them, as a way to show they're tough

Mid fight, due to the monotony of his moveset and the absolute spam fast that it is.
Everything about his design was made to whittle your flasks down for the elden beast, he's so samey you are bound to slip every now and again due to the pure boredom of the fight.
Elden Beast should have been optional if you collected all great runes and Radagon should have added a proper second phase with a varied moveset rather than telaport+aoe spam.

He is immune to most status effects and fairly resistant to the rest. If you want to proc poison your best bet is just the poisonous mist ash of war preferably on a poison infused weapon. For scarlet rot if you want to proc it in a reasonable amount of time your best options are either a rot grease applied onto an antspur rapier or to use a couple rot pots. Unfortunately both of these require the very rare and annoying to farm aeonian butterfly so it might not be worth it for the extra buildup. For frostbite use a frost infused weapon with chilling mist to proc it fairly quickly or use freezing pots which are not too hard to farm for if you have access to the consecrated snowfields. These status effects make the Radagon fight a bit easier, however make sure to have enough damage on your build and don’t rely on them too much since none of these work on Elden Beast.

It's kind of odd how he's one of, like, three people in the game that use fundamentalist incantations. Him, D and Gideon. Goldmask is fundamentalist too, of course. Three of these four are Tarnished, but it's even more ironic that the only mob enemy that uses them are Albinaurics in Consecrated Snowfield.
It seems to me that Radagon was trying to revamp the Golden Order, but that his project was cut short when Marika shattered the Elden Ring. Leyndell is still protected by believers of the Ancient Dragon Cult, and Marika even has a line about her people's refusal to endorse the changes to the Order: "I declare mine intent, to search the depths of the Golden Order. Through understanding of the proper way, our faith, our grace, is increased. Those blissful early days of blind belief are long past. My comrades; why must ye falter?"
In cut content, Radagon seems to be in support of Miquella's ambitions to grow the Haligtree, and even in the current version of the game, it's hinted that Miquella was the real reason for Marika's despair: "I heard speculation Miquella embedded himself in the Haligtree, but before he could finish, someone cut the tree open and absconded with his infant form. (...) Perhaps the Queen's sorrow was justified..."
I feel like we're still missing the most important part of the story.

if ur having trouble evading his annoying attack called "elden shattering" where he slams the floor three times, if you take great detail on the floor, you can see that it spreads in streaks of three with gaps in between. what i usually do is that i quickly roll into the small gaps once he slams the floor.

Don't be so eager to stick out attacks - Pause for just the tiniest moment after he attacks and observe what he does. You might even find he ends combo strings early this way
Learn the offensive windows
Maintain good spacing and observe what he tends to use at certain ranges
- The above naturally lead into AI manipulation - You'll get a feel for it
Watch his arm, not the hammer
Learn to read which attack is going to come out; learn the appropriate counters and their timings - Back-rolling is not always the answer and pretty much every single attack will nail you if you panic roll: You're not going to panic roll your way through this fight. Pay attention
Don't forget that you can sprint - It is a great defensive and spacing option
Throwing items make for good poking attacks when in neutral - Bone darts, throwing daggers, and fan daggers in particular come out fast and have fast recoveries. Yes, he will often parry them but that doesn't make them completely useless; You can manipulate his AI with them if you're clever
You got this!

Easily one of my favorite fights in the game. Good tempo; nice, subtly telegraphed attacks with different counters; and you can really feel the "meatiness" of his swings. It makes for a really engaging fight.

Honestly this fight is pretty badass as is but I'd think it'd be even cooler if at like 50% health he started using sorceries as well. The Radagon Icon tells us he's a master at sorceries as well as incantations and his wolves prove it. I guess they wanted to save some stuff for Elden Beast but still.

I imagine if he talked he'd sound like Minos Prime from Ultrakill, or Gabriel
i can;'t figure fighting him out it sucks so bad, ground aoe literally so cancerous . can't jump, because his hammer will still hit, can't roll, because it can rollcatch, would just tank it on ng but on any higher ng level it sucks so bad . luck based

I find it funny that people are calling him a bad dad when he's canonically like the only good parent in this game. Radahn, Malenia, and even Rykard clearly take pride in their heritage from their soldiers' armors and we have multiple examples of him exchanging gifts with Miquella. Ranni is the only one who seemingly doesn't like him and even then it's probably more complicated than that. You can hate him for divorcing his wife and all that but you have to give credit where it's due.

Nerfing flame of the redmanes was a crime against humanity. Gave any build a key tool to make this an interesting back and forth, dodging in and out looking for stance break opportunities.

It’s kinda hard to kill it since he will start to spam tp whenever ur trying to approach him after he reach half health
The type of physical damage he deals depends on the attack. Most are strike, but some do deal slash and standard.
He may use a faster grab animation after catching a projectile; Arrows, throwing knives, spells, etc. to punish players. It does the same amount of damage as his slower grab attack, and is pure strike damage, while the little AoE it does after he slams his hand down to grab the player deals both strike (331) and holy (335).
- Anonymous
Just wanting to say, his grab attack is influenced by spells. Of course it’s probably already known that when he deflects spells, and then goes into the grab, it’s way faster than normal. But when he’s already in the grab windup, its speed can be influenced by projectile spells. If he gets hit by while windup the grab while be way faster than normal

Perhaps... Radagon's nature is the same as that of Shabriri. Radagon is the essence of the Golden Order - perhaps even the Greater Will. Just as Shibriri is Chaos incarnate. Marika is only the Vessel. Transformation magic. Rebirth. All these things we have seen before. That's why Marika orchestrated the shattering with Ranni - a bid to be free of Radagon and the Greater Will.

"Sword wrought from the remains of a god who should have lived a life eternal."
Is the sacred relic sword proof Radagon and Marika were initially two separate beings?
Upon defeating Radagon, the Elden Beast emerges from the Elden Ring seeping out of Radagon's body who then subsumes Radagon's remains underwater, and then seemingly forges a sword out of his remains.
Yet upon defeating the Elden Beast, the body of fractured Marika still remains in the same pose as she was while imprisoned.
If they truly were the same body, wouldn't she have suffered the same fate?
Maybe Radagon managed to ultimately overpower Marika and take full control, as he is the only one who raises a hand against us. Viciously protecting the Golden Order till the very end.

If you are struggling and have a +25 weapon, just put Flame of the Redmanes on it and start spamming. Three casts open Radagon for critical stabbing, four casts will stagger Elden Beast. +25 Flames deal around 900-1000 Fire damage without buffs, so the fight becomes a joke. Same with Maliketh.

After fighting with such bs bosses as Malenia and Maliketh, fighting with Godfrey and Radagon was really a breath of fresh air. Finally, bosses that don't oneshot you or kill with one combo.

And then this cosmic endosperm appears, with Elden Ring's patented genius boss designs called one hit per hour™ and spamming till dying™.

To the individuals who post here that they have a hard time with this fight. You can only blame yourself for your failure. In most cases I would bet you used the mimic to carry you through a large percentage of the boss fights that were supposed to teach you how to deal with this very fight. Take some time start fresh and fight bosses one on one at least a little before you summon help. The game is created in a manner to give you the tools needed to be able to complete this fight. Either way you get out of it what you put in and if you are still having fun, fair play. However! complaining that you are bad is not going to get you anywhere the reward in this game is overcoming the difficulty.

personally I find this guy so much more difficult than elden beast….

40 vigour, Carian Knight Set, Crimson Amber Talisman +2 and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman let me survive it with like a quarter of my health left. If you're at the right distance, the grab explosion will damage you and then he'll do the grab attacks as well. If you're closer to him, the explosion won't do damage.
Consider using Blasphemous Blade as he has no resistance to fire and the sword will heal you. Using mimic tear, unless he lays into your mimic, he cannot kill it.
