Radahn's Great Rune | Elden Ring Wiki

Godrick's rune is the best for early to mid game. For lategame (RL 90 and onward) it's either this or Morgott's that will get you the most mileage.

Submit

I use this for the extra stamina, and not the extra HP or FP. You might think that stamina doesn't matter in Elden Ring, but that's only true for light weapon users who never block. Using Colossal weapons or powerstanced great weapons consume a lot of stamina. Even at 8 endurance, this rune gives you a higher stamina gain than Godrick's Great Rune ever will.

Bro this kinda a**

:P

HEALTH STAMINA FP EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT

Submit

we all compare the HP, FP and stamina but forget that Godrick's Great rune could raise a lot of your defense with 40 attributes.

Submit

So I just found out that you can run through the scarlet rot in the haligtree completely unencumbered with this rune

Submit

I don't know why no one is talking about it, but I tested "resist the encroachment of the scarlet rot"

It acts like a regen getting stronger the closer you are to procing. It can buy you some time to get out.

Submit

i don't care if godrick's is better early game, radahn is cooler so im using his great rune. **** you, godrick.

Submit

To simplify preferred great runes based on where you are:

Early game: Godrick's
Once at softcaps: Rahdan or Morgott, unless you want to splash other stats, then maybe still Godrick's.
Once ALL softcaps: Rahdan or Morgott

Submit

Decided to do some math since I was curious and hadn't seen anyone else do it with up to date info. Here are some numbers I got when comparing (G) Godrick's and (R) Radahn's runes. HP, FP, and Stamina values are with the Great Runes activated at these stat levels. Note that Radahn's is always better for Stamina even at the lowest End you are allowed with the Prophet class, which is nice but probably isn't why you'd want to use it.

37 Vig: G=1503 R=1504 / 40 Vig: G=1581 R=1668 / 60 Vig: G=1930 R=2185
30 Mnd: G=200 R=199 / 40 Mnd: G=268 R=270 / 50 Mnd: G=328 R=345 / 60 Mnd: G=362 R=403
8 End: G=101 R=106 / 25 End: G=121 R=139 / 50 End: G=156 R=178

For HP and FP, the closer you are to the lvl 60 softcaps, the more return you get from Radahn's rune over Godrick's. At those levels, it might also be worth considering buffs that increase HP/FP by percentages, like the Crimsonspill Crystal Tear or the Cerulean Amber Medallion.

Submit

What a let down, that pathetic godrick creature's rune should not be better than thud garbo

Submit

if you turn in the remembrance to Enia, can you do anything to go back if say you wanted the starscourge swords instead ? i tried to use the walking mausoleum, but i cannot "copy" the remembrance.

Submit

killed radahn and didn't receive the great rune

Submit

Quit my previous char at lvl 200 and didn't find this GR more beneficial than Godrick's at any time. Maybe if you're lvl 300 it will be better idk.

Submit

Gonna use this instead of Godrick so I dont mess up my online play stats dependencies.

Submit

I had to activate it on top of divine tower caelid

Submit

My Great Rune of choice

Submit

My rune disappeared out of my inventory, I killed him, it said I got the rune, but then it just isn't there =(

Submit

I love how Enia tells us "The demigods are each and all the direct offspring of Queen Marika," while Rykard and Radahn's Great Runes claim they "became demigod stepchildren after Radagon's union with Queen Marika." This is a clear contradiction right? How can Ranni, Rykard, and Radahn be demigods if they're not the direct offspring of Marika? But if you pick up Regression and witness the "skeleton in Radagon's closet..." It's great.

Submit

For people having surpassed hp,fp and stamina softcaps this rune is better than godrick's rune as it gives you a percentage based increase in hp fp and stamina, whereas godrick's just +5 your hp fp and stamina, which after surpassing softcaps gives very little hp,fp and stamina. In short, this rune is better at higher levels, the stronger you are, the stronger the rune arc's effect is.

Submit

Needs a buff

Submit

this feels like minor rune instead great rune lmao not very good

Submit

! IMPORTANT !

To Activate the Great Rune, from the Grace "Divine Tower of Caelid: Center", head to the RIGHT.

Once you reach the locked 'Door', turn to the left.
The actual door will be there, from which you may ride the elevator upwards.

Submit

Godrick's is better considering it boost's your defense stats by 40 levels which makes you tankier than a measley 15% hp boost which Godrick's rune gets you close too anyways. I would probably only use on a close to maxed out character.

Submit

This Rune looks like, HP-wise, it surpasses the Godrick's Rune at about 42 VIGOR when activated Godrick's gives 1623 HP and Radahn's gives 1624 lol after that the HP gap only widens

Submit

If you've not empowered the rune yet then it appears in the same section as your keys in the key items section of your inventory and not at the top next to other empowered runes.

Submit

Godrick rune FTW, all stat increases for free.

Submit

I encountered a bug where his great rune is not dropped after defeating him in the festival. I got his remembrance and all, and actually I got the message that I got the rune. It's just not in my inventory

Submit

Trash. Godricks great rune is way better than this.

Submit

Interesting to note that because you only gain 1-2 points of stamina per level of Endurance, Radahn's Great Rune ALWAYS grants more stamina than Godrick's at any level. Even if you could go as low as 1 Endurance (80 stamina), Godrick's would up that to 85 and Radahn's to 90. The gap only grows wider from there.

Submit

radahns rune starts getting better than godricks from:
37 vigor
45 mind
any endurance actually
important to note that radahns just gives you stamina, no equip load

Submit

Maybe I’m just grasping at straws but I feel this rune is better the stronger you are, coming from the strongest of the demigods. Wjile Godrick’s is better the weaker you are, coming from the weakest of the demigods.


As the lower your stats the more +5 to each stat will impact you, while the higher your stats the more a percent increase to health, endurance, and fp will affect you.

Submit

Percent is incorrect for at least FP, definitely a bit higher than 12.5%. If it was 12.5% increase I'd be at 220 FP, but after using a Rune Arc I'm actually at 225

Submit

For anyone out there who realized this like I did, this is literally the Ring of Favor, but in a free wearable form. Yes, you gotta pop arc runes to use it, but the effect is permanent until death, meaning you can survive longer, cast more spells and weapon arts, and carry more equipment (as well as attack longer)!
This may not give free temporary levels like Godricks great rune, but this one really feels like it would help in the long run for those who like having bigger benefits to survivable stats. I might just use this for the entirety of the game!

Submit

Hi all. I defeated Radhan but the door is still locked in the divine tower where the rune needs to be activated . Am I missing something? Thanks!

Submit

better than godricks mid to late game. when you're main stats are past the soft caps

Submit

Haven't calculated HP, but in regards to FP, this should surpass Godrick's rune only at 45 Mind and above.

45 Mind + Godrick's = 280 FP
45 Mind + Radahn's = 281 FP

Of course this is without any other boosts. Stacking other FP bonuses will give Radahn's a bigger lead for being multiplicative afaik.

Submit

Approaching 75's in all stats and with this rune, the build is amazing. Goodbye Godrick's, you served me well

Submit

Is the additional stat increase multiplicative or additive? Just so I know how much my character is gaining with this rune being active.

Submit

Despite what most ppl here are complaining about, this get better than Godrick's rune as your build approaches the soft cap, since it's a % increase in totals. With 50 to vigor and endurance Godrick's rune falls off hard.

Submit

"The Great Rune burns, to resist the encroachment of the scarlet rot." and I was naively hoping that it would provide rot immune.

Submit

The page states that the great rune is dropped, but needs to be activated at the Divine tower!
Is it really that hard to read?

Submit

So basically this is the rune if you hit the 40 lv softcap for Vigor,Endurance and Mind. Still even with hiting the soft caps, godricks still gives you pluses in other things. I guess it's nice of Miyazaki to give people the best rune from the main lord boss you're "ment" to fight first.

Submit

I just beat Radhan and he didn’t drop the rune. It’s not in my inventory.

Submit

i beat starscourge radann but dont have this was it just left on the ground or?

Submit

Godrick rune fanboys argue with the 40 points. Yet unless you are playing casually and therefore using every stat, you wont effectively benefit from all the stats you get. If I am running a strength build, yes the extra intelligence is going to give me some resistances but no I won't be using it effectively hence I rather take this or morgotts rune

Submit

This should be a much bigger boost imho. To give up the other it should be
Giving way more then the first great runes in those three stats

Submit

Didn't drop from Radahn? It showed that I recieved it, but I can't equip it at the site of grace

Submit

Tip for the unaware:
Godrick’s Rune raises attributes by +5
Radahn’s Rune raises attributes by %

Submit

The thing to remember is that, because Godrick's rune gives you stats, it's also giving you defenses and resistances.

While Godrick's may give you a lower HP value, it's possible that it's effectively the same HP, due to your increased defenses. I'm sure one is situationally better than the other, but that's such a vague margin that I don't even think it's worth trying to make an argument for this rune.

If you really need the higher numbers, use it, but do realize you're basically throwing away what is effectively 40 free levels from Godrick's rune.

Submit

Lol people don't know simple math or remember there's caps? Yeah at low lvl godricks wins.. when you're soft capped all over though.. this will jack max pools way more... Remember all 3 cap at 50+ now... I think 58 bit still gives over 20hp..

Submit

This rune is only worth it once you get past 37 vigor, as Godricks Rune will take you to 1503 HP, and then Radahn's takes you to 1504. It gives you a 15% HP boost, 15% FP boost, and a 15% Stamina boost. In general Godrick's will be way better as it gives you a general stat boost as well until you get past 37 in vigor and other related stats. Will probably be great for NG+

Submit

Godrick's rune does a lot more that this trash

Submit

With 40 Vigor:
Godrick's Rune takes you from 1450 HP to 1581 HP (from 40 Vigor to 45 Vigor)
Radahn's Rune takes you from 1450 HP to 1667 HP (15% increase on HP)

Submit

FAVOR AND PROTECTION

STAMINA
HEALTH
FOCUS POINTS

EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT

Submit

This Rune is honestly really bad.
With 30 Vigor and 20 Mind, Godrick's rune raises my max HP by 62 higher (1355 vs 1293) and my FP by 13 (139 vs 123). The only stat that goes up is my stamina, and that's only by 6 points (I have not levelled my Stamina at all).
Godrick's Rune also raises your other stats, though. So Godrick's beats out Radahn's at everything, even things Radahn's meant to be better at.

Submit

For everyone that has forgotten or doesn’t understand how runes work you need to first activate them at a special tower (unique for each rune) , equip at a grace point AND THEN use a rune arc

Submit

To those that say the rune is missing after killing the boss: scroll down in the inventory tab, deactivated runes are in a different "sorting category" from activated ones

Submit

After your defeat Radahn rune won't appear in your invenotry, you need to charge it first, you can charge it here (map image) - https://imgur.com/a/YxRDy8v

Submit

Defeated radahn and his rune's not in my inventory. Is it not a key item? BTW i haven't "primed" rennala's rune for usage yet.

Submit

Radhan is dead and the door at divine tower are still locked. It is bugged or I'm missing something?

Submit

For those bashing the rune without testing.

It increases health by a multiplier of 15%, fp 12,5% and stamina 13% (all are estimated valued give or take half a %)

Meaning for tank builds and/or higher levels can be a significant increase compared to godricks great rune

Fun fact: the multiplier is multiplicative on other equipment that boost fp/hp or stamina

Submit

There is no stat increase for me. In my game all it says is you gain health when you hit enemies but that isn't true either. It only activates when you kill them.

Submit

It's worse than Godricks Great Rune, what the hell...

Submit

idk why but i dont get more hp when equipping this or Rodricks Rune

Submit

You activate this in the divine tower in the north of Caelid. This really feels like BASIC information that should be on the wiki by now. Is it really that hard to let more people edit the wiki?!

Submit

Note the fresh information above is done with a few simple tests and might need finer adjustments.

Submit

I defeated him but the rune is not in my inventory, I can extract the rememberances but the rune itself is missing. Will it magically appear once I get to the divine tower or is this bugged?

Submit

Localization in Divine Tower of Caelid: https://youtu.be/Qrg0WP-4Peo

Submit

This rune kinda sucks, the first one you get raises your hp etc by almost the same amount while also raising ALL of your stats.

Submit

This did not drop for me when I killed him? Is this some sort of bug?

Submit

So Ring of Favor? Gotcha

PSN: ItzMagicTime__

Submit

how do you equip this jawn piece

Submit

Btw it increases all 3 by 15%

Submit

Is this terrible? Godrick's great rune seems like a direct upgrade

Submit

Does it *actually* do anything against scarlet rot?

Submit

I defeated Radahn and it showed me that it dropped, but it dont show up in my inventory. Is this a bug or did i missed something?

Submit

Grants a 15% increase to said stats.
