NPCs You Can Summon
Here are the eight NPCs you can summon for Radahn:
| NPC | Notes |
|---|---|

When to Summon and When to Avoid
When deciding who to summon, consider the following:
- Finger Reader is a good choice if you want to increase your damage output.
- Blaidd is a good choice if you want a fast and agile warrior with high critical hit chance.
- Patches is a good choice if you want a unpredictable and exciting fight.
- Millicent and Polyanna are good choices if you want healing support.
- Godrick the Grafted and Godfrey, First Elden Lord are good choices if you want powerful warriors with high health and damage output.
Avoid Summoning Patches
However, it’s worth noting that Patches is not a good choice for this fight. While he can be unpredictable and exciting, his abilities can also be unpredictable and sometimes detrimental to your progress.
Scarlet Rot Weakness
Radahn is highly susceptible to the Bleed status effect. If you have a weapon that applies Bleed or items that can buff your weapon with Bleed damage, use them. You shouldn’t use a Bleed weapon if you can’t upgrade it, though.
Gravity Magic
In-game lore reveals that Radahn started to learn gravity-based magic when he reached a certain size, due to the fact that he couldn’t physically ride his horse anymore. Through learning gravity magic, Radahn was able to keep his horse, Leonard, as his mount, and the two now wander the Wailing Dunes together, happily ever after.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you can summon anyone for Radahn, but with some caveats. Make sure to choose the right NPCs for the job and avoid summoning Patches. With the right strategy and the right NPCs, you can take down Radahn and claim victory.
