FromSoftware Adjusts Promised Consort Radahn in Latest Elden Ring Update

FromSoftware has rolled out a new update for Elden Ring, focusing on adjustments to the final boss, Promised Consort Radahn, in the “Shadow of the Erdtree” expansion.

Considered one of the toughest foes in the expansion, players who have faced Radahn will be pleased to know that the final boss has received significant nerfs in the latest update.

The patch notes for version 1.14 detail various changes made to Radahn’s abilities, including altering his action pattern at the start of the battle, adjusting certain attack moves, and reducing the damage, stamina consumption, and attack range of specific attacks. Additionally, improvements have been made to phase three abilities and attack effects visibility.

The update not only addresses the final boss but also includes adjustments to PvP equipment and skills, as well as tweaks to base game equipment, incantations, and spells.
