Promised Consort Radahn is a legendary boss in Elden Ring. It is one of the expansion's additions, found in the Land of Shadow.
Promised Consort Radahn is the final boss of the Realm of Shadow, Radahn reborn as Miquella's chosen lord. He stands before the Gate of Divinity at the top of Enir-Ilim. He swings two colossal swords with gravity magic, and in the second phase Miquella joins him with blinding holy light. He is widely seen as one of the hardest bosses ever made.
Lore
Radahn wears red and gold armor with a lion-shaped helm, and his body is whole and powerful once more. He wields two colossal greatswords. In the second phase, Miquella's light surrounds him and pillars of holy light follow his blows.
After Radahn fell, his soul met its end, yet Miquella still wished for him to be his lord consort. Miquella placed Radahn's soul in a vessel made from the remains of Mohg, Lord of Blood. Reborn, Radahn guards the Gate of Divinity while Miquella ascends to godhood.
During the battle, Miquella steps out of the gate and embraces Radahn as his consort. Together they fight to bring about an age of compassion.

Weaknesses
| Weak To | Pierce, Holy (phase one), Scarlet Rot (phase one) |
|---|---|
| Immune | Sleep, Madness |
| Parry | Yes |
Phases
- Phase 1: Radahn fights with twin greatsword combos and gravity magic, with very short recovery.
- Phase 2: Miquella joins him as Radahn, Consort of Miquella, adding pillars of light, lightspeed clones and holy blasts.
Attacks
- Twin greatsword combos: heavy slashes with almost no recovery between them. Rolling into his attacks and striking only in clear gaps works best.
- Gravity attacks: he pulls and slams with gravity magic. Rolling through the slam avoids it.
- Charm grab: a grab that charms the player. Miquella's Great Rune removes the charm.
- Light pillars: in phase two, pillars of light erupt after his attacks. Dodging into him avoids the aftershocks.
- Lightspeed clones: images of Radahn strike in quick succession. Rolling with each clone avoids them.
- Holy blast: he levitates and calls a huge area around the player that explodes with light. Running out of the area avoids it.
Tactics
- Raise Scadutree Blessing as high as possible before the fight.
- Cast Golden Vow, Black Flame's Protection in phase one and Divine Fortification in phase two.
- Equip the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman and the Golden Braid for his physical and holy damage.
- Use Miquella's Great Rune to remove the charm effect in phase two.
- Stay close and dodge into his attacks.
- Use a thrusting weapon with a greatshield for safe poke damage.
- Apply scarlet rot in phase one, because status buildup resets in phase two.
