Elden Ring Things To Do Before Radahn

Okay, listen up, Tarnished. You're prepping for Radahn, right? Good. He's… a handful. But before you go charging in like a grace-starved madman, let's chat. There's some fun stuff we can do first.

Explore Limgrave (Again)

Bet you think you're done with Limgrave. Nope! Go back. Really scour those beaches.

I bet you missed something. Maybe a shiny. Maybe a Scarab doing the zoomies.

Hunt for Upgrades

Weapon upgrades are your friend. They make you hit harder. Radahn appreciates a good, hard hit. Unpopular opinion: +6 is the bare minimum.

Seriously, find those Smithing Stones. Check every cave. Talk to every merchant. Your sword will thank you.

Become a Fashion Icon

Elden Ring is all about fashion, people! Stats are temporary, drip is forever. Radahn will respect your stylish demise.

Mix and match armor sets. Find something that screams "I'm about to get flattened by a demigod, but I look good doing it!" The Pumpkin Head is always a solid choice.

Venture to the Weeping Peninsula

Don't forget about the Weeping Peninsula! It's south of Limgrave. It's sad.

But it's also full of goodies! And slightly less murderous creatures than Caelid. Perfect for a pre-Radahn power boost.

Get that Sweet Soreseal

The Marika's Soreseal is located in the Weeping Peninsula. It boosts your stats! Embrace the glass cannon life.

Who needs defense when you can one-shot everything? Okay, maybe not everything. But it feels good, right?

Tackle Liurnia (A Little)

Liurnia is vast, I know. You don't have to clear the whole area. Just poke around a bit.

Find some useful spells. Maybe that one that shoots sparkly rainbows. You know, for moral support.

Become a Sorcerer (Sort Of)

Even if you're a strength build, magic helps. A little Glintstone Pebble never hurt anyone (except maybe those Albinaurics).

Seriously, grab a staff. Fling some spells. Who knows, you might discover your inner wizard.

Learn to Parry (Maybe)

Parrying is hard, I get it. But it's also incredibly satisfying. Especially against those annoying knights.

Practice on some weaker enemies. Radahn probably won't give you many parry opportunities. But hey, it's worth a shot!

The Power of the Buckler

The Buckler shield is your friend. It makes parrying easier. Go get one.

Now go parry some wolves. Or maybe those soldiers near Gatefront. Don't get discouraged when you fail. We all start somewhere.

Have Fun! (Seriously)

Elden Ring is a challenging game. But it's also supposed to be fun! Don't get bogged down in the grind.

Explore. Experiment. Die repeatedly in hilarious ways. And remember, Radahn will still be there tomorrow. Ready to crush your dreams. So go out there and enjoy the Lands Between!

Consider this, maybe Radahn is easy and we are just bad at the game. Just an idea, don't get mad.

Good luck, Tarnished! You'll need it.
