In a stunning display of skill and strategy, an Elden Ring player has achieved the extraordinary by defeating Consort Radahn, a formidable boss from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, with a single devastating blow. Elden Ring, a massive success since its 2022 launch, recently expanded with the June release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, adding new lore, equipment, spells, and challenging enemies.

In the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Promised Consort Radahn serves as the final boss and embodies the challenge expected of a game’s ultimate adversary. Unlike his earlier, weakened incarnation in Caelid, this version of Radahn is a formidable foe with an aggressive move set, limited attack windows, and the ability to wield twin blades for melee combat. He also uses gravity control powers to launch meteorites at players. The difficulty further escalates in the second phase, where Miquella joins Radahn, introducing deadly rays of light from the sky. This combination creates a demanding and often intense final encounter for players.

Recently, a Reddit user posted a video showcasing a remarkable achievement in Elden Ring: dealing an impressive 143,411 damage to the final boss, Consort Radahn, with a single shot on NG+7, the game’s highest difficulty level. New Game Plus in Elden Ring lets players replay the game at a higher difficulty while retaining their gear and character progress from previous runs. As the difficulty increases with each NG+ cycle, enemies and bosses become significantly tougher. In this video, the player utilized the incantation Ancient Dragons’ Lightning Strike to inflict the damage. The initial hit alone triggered Radahn’s transition to the second phase of the battle, and after bypassing the cutscene, the remaining damage was sufficient to defeat him entirely.

The response in the comments was notably positive, with many users curious about the specific buffs used to defeat the Shadow of the Erdtree boss. One commenter expressed uncertainty about the incantation combination required for such damage, while another requested a full display of the two-minute buffing process. Others pointed out the brief window of time for the critical hit, noting that the buffs almost expired immediately after the kill.

It’s worth noting that this is not the first time a player has defeated the Shadow of the Erdtree final boss with a single shot. Recently, another player achieved 93,000 damage to Radahn with a single sword strike, depleting both of his health bars in one blow.
