After two weeks and roughly 10 hours of intense attempts, I finally took down Promised Consort Radahn in the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC! The ending to this fight is absolutely wild, but a win is a win. If you are struggling with the final boss, this Strength/Dex Quality build might be exactly what you need.
Fair warning: There is some harsh language during the gameplay because of how intense this fight gets!
Make sure you have plenty of Hefty Rot Pots, let your mimic toss them too. Getting Radahn inflicted with Scarlet Rot early makes a massive difference. I also packed a mix of Freezing, Swarm, and Blood pots for my mimic to throw. For defense, Miquella's Great Rune is an absolute must to break out of his grab attacks.
