Here's a concise guide on how to tackle Radahn, Consort of Miquella, in the "Shadow of the Erdtree" DLC for Elden Ring:

Boss Overview

Location: Radahn, Consort of Miquella, is located at the top of Enir-Ilim in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Nature: He is a significant endgame boss, presenting a challenging fight with two distinct phases.

Preparations

Build Recommendations:

Bleed Builds: Radahn is susceptible to bleed, making weapons like the Antspur Rapier or a bleed-infused weapon effective. Arcane over 30 can amplify this effect.

Rot: In his first phase, Radahn has a weakness to Scarlet Rot. Using weapons or incantations that apply Rot can be beneficial.

Tank Builds: For those opting for a more defensive approach, using the Verdigris Greatshield with high Endurance (at least 30) allows for effective blocking.

Talismans:

Greatshield Talisman: Reduces stamina cost for blocking.

Two-Headed Turtle Talisman: Speeds up stamina regeneration.

Pearldrake Talisman +3: Offers Holy damage negation, crucial for the second phase.

Golden Braid: Also helps negate Holy damage.

Spells and Items:

Mixed Physick: Use during phase transitions to mitigate damage, especially from Miquella's holy light attacks.

Chilling Perfume Bottles with Rolling Sparks: For dealing with his large hitbox in phase two.

Phase 1 Strategy Gameplay Strategies

Poke and Block: Utilize a thrusting weapon with a greatshield. Poke after blocking his combos, especially after his slam attacks.

Dodging: Dodge towards him and to the left to avoid most of his attacks. Wait a moment before rolling to dodge the delayed follow-up strikes from his combos.

Initial Attack: If Radahn starts with his spin into a leap, sprint horizontally to avoid the initial charge and roll away when he lands.

Phase 2 Strategy (Radahn, Consort of Miquella) Gameplay Strategies

Miquella's Influence: He now has Holy elemental attacks, including a rain of light pillars. Use the environment to avoid these.

New Moves: Watch for the grab attack; if grabbed, Miquella will charm you. Try to stay at a medium range to dodge this.

Dodging: Continue dodging into him to avoid the aftershocks from his attacks.

Status Effects: Bleed remains effective, but he's now also vulnerable to other status effects like Frostbite.

General Tips Gameplay Tips

Spirit Ashes: If not used yet, summon your Spirit Ash after his initial light shower in phase two for distraction.

Be Aggressive: Look for opportunities to attack after his big moves, especially when he's recovering from attacks like his ground slam.

Space Management: Keep some distance to read his moves but close it quickly for attacks when safe.

Adaptability: Be prepared to change strategies based on his move patterns. If something's not working, adjust your approach or build.

Community Sentiments

Players have noted Radahn's fight has a spectacle, making it a memorable encounter, though some express frustration with difficulty. There's a mix of opinions on the challenge level, with some feeling it's appropriately tough, while others suggest it might have been nerfed for broader accessibility.

Post-Fight

Defeating Radahn, Consort of Miquella, concludes the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, offering various rewards like the Greatsword of Radahn or Light of Miquella, depending on your choice.

Conclusion

Remember, every player's experience can differ based on their build and playstyle. Adapt these strategies to what works best for your Tarnished. Enjoy the challenge, and may the stars guide you to victory against Radahn, Consort of Miquella.
