Radagon and Elden Beast form the final main-progression sequence in Elden Ring. Because the fights happen back to back, resource management matters just as much as damage output.
Radagon phase
Use this phase to fight cleanly and preserve healing when possible. Short, reliable punish windows are better than overcommitting and entering the second fight with too few resources.
Elden Beast phase
The second encounter demands more movement and longer repositioning. A build that only performs well at one exact distance can feel awkward here, so bring damage you can apply consistently after moving.
Preparation checklist
- Use a loadout you already understand.
- Keep enough Vigor to survive late-game mistakes.
- Preserve healing during the first half whenever possible.
- Plan for both close pressure and long-distance repositioning.
Build adjustment
If Radagon consumes most of your resources, solve that phase first. If Elden Beast is the problem, focus on movement efficiency, stamina management and maintaining damage uptime after long chases.
