Spoilers ahead for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s final boss.
Even the messiah ofElden Ringplayers, Let Me Solo Her, is having a tough time against the final boss of theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. Let Me Solo Her became massively popular for helping players defeat Malenia, back when she was considered the hardest boss to defeat inElden Ring.
FromSoftware games are well known for their unforgiving bosses, andElden Ringis no exception. The expansion took it several notches further, and the developers even had to release abalancing patch for theShadow of the ErdtreeDLCto make things easier for players, to some extent. While summoning other players is a really handy mechanic for difficult boss battles, it seems like even that is not going to make the final boss in theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC easy.
In a new tweet, Let Me Solo Her echoes the same sentiment as the rest of theElden Ringcommunity. They emphasize thatPromised Consort Radhan inElden Ring Shadow of the Erdtreeis giving them an extremely hard time. Radahn being the final boss of theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC has received mixed reception from the community, with many unhappy over a boss from the base game getting repeated in the expansion. On the flip side, some have noted that players getting a chance to take on Radahn at his prime is also a fitting end toElden Ring. However, the difficulty is something that has caught the entire community off-guard.
In fact, several veterans of the Soulsborne genre have even termed Promised Consort Radhan as themost difficult boss in FromSoftware history. The fact that this is coming from a community who have pulled off some insane SL1 runs of extremely unforgiving bosses like Orphan of Kos, Darkeater Midir, Sister Friede, and Malenia, speaks volumes about how difficult it is to take down Promised Consort Radhan. However, it is interesting to note that while some bosses have been considered outright broken in past Soulsborne games, Promised Consort Radahn is definitely a fair fight.
