This was hard. So is the learning curve. Doing a regular RL1 no upgrades fight was done in a couple hours, getting this one took 3 days. While Radagon is far less mechanically complex than other ER bosses like Maliketh, his moveset requires very high precision to deal with especially in phase 2 and 3 with the introduction of teleports and their damaging AoEs. The concept of arbitrarily taking away punishes from the player and responding with an instant damaging reposition isnt something Im too fond of, neither do I enjoy when hes in p3 and zips around more intensely than a tryhard speedrunner while spamming spells and getting free poise resets... but despite these obnoxious mechanics Radagon is still an amazing and generally fair fight, and the OST certainly adds to the epicness of it all.
A solo, melee only fight at Rune Level 1 (RL1) in NG+7 (max new game cycle) of Radagon of the Golden Order, done without upgrading weapons, without auxiliary/status effects (frost, bleed, poison/rot etc), no buffs outside of the Great rune to wield Alabaster sword, and with no hits taken.
Phase 1 is very fun and good for multiple cr2 punishes since his attacks startups after recovery are slow enough to allow them, even his stomp somewhat. Phase 2 and 3 are where it gets annoying with the threat of cancelling a recovery with a retaliation teleport and especially the quick teleport memes. You are forced to fight much more passive during later phases, and his tendency to teleport around at all ranges to spam spells and get free poise resets, again, dont help ramping up the pace in any way. I had some faster attempts where I was more aggressive but choked on 15-10% health left to teleports or flying aoes timing modified by walls, so I played carefully the end of this fight to make sure it wouldnt happen this time around.

Got bad RNG at the end of phase 1, it couldve been faster. Still a good fight though")

Second best dragon fights in the series for me, right behind Midir. Good bois both of them.
A solo, melee only speedkill at Rune Level 1 (RL1) in NG+7 (Max New Game cycle) of DragonLord Placidusax, slumbering master of Farum Azula, without weapon upgrades, status effects like bleed, frost, scarlet rot, etc. Also done without weapon buffs or Ashes of War and with no hits taken.
This is a satisfying kill compared to the base NG version I did a couple months ago, charged R2s of the cleanrot knight sword doing a ton of damage compared to its stamina consumption. The base NG +0 kill was 12 minutes, and I was estimating this one to be 16-17 minutes but got particularly unlucky with phase 3 RNG where Dragonlord decided to stall with thundercloud dives and lasers a lot.
Phase 1 went smoothly with the semi-scripted opener loop to get 11 charged R2s on him and a stagger right off the start, by baiting specific attacks with positioning (go down to his tail during lightning call, tail swipe and to his front for scripted lightning swipe followup into fire breath). Phase 2 was also cleaner compared to my base NG kill where I was playing defensive against the teleports due to the hard to react quick slam AoE, this time being more aggressive and punishing every teleport attack. Phase 3 is where it slowed down with the previously mentioned dives spam. In hindsight I shouldve done the baiting strat to walls on lasers to get much more damage in, but the tradeoff was harder to dodge thundercloud dives (and not being able to punish them) with potential memes of Dragonlord getting stuck on the walls during the sliding part after dive, which costed me a few lost attempts under 10% health left. So I decided to play the phase 3 safer, and besides enjoying the lightshow more. This boss is incredibely cinematic, for sure.
