Shadow of the Erdtree has, overall, gone down about as well as one might expect. It’s one of FromSoftware’s best expansions yet (snagging an esteemed 95 in our Shadow of the Erdtree review<\/a>) and has, naturally, also caused a flood of discourse. The “bosses are harder than usual<\/a>” being one of them and\u2014hey, wait a minute, that’s my article. Aw, man.<\/p>\n

Listen, while I’ve since been proven wrong by Elden Ring players two-tapping (spoilers for the DLC’s final boss, obviously) <\/strong>Promised Consort Radahn with a freaking bottle of perfume<\/a>, the fact does remain that Erdtree’s final boss is a step up, even for FromSoftware’s new standard where every guy in armour comes equipped with a 100-step combo, exploding AoEs, and a level of aggression usually reserved for tilted MOBA players.<\/p>\n

If you struggled like I did, one point of validation might be that Radahn’s hitboxes are comprehensively busted as a matter of undebatable fact.<\/p>\n

As outlined by YouTuber TheKevDev in the following short, Radahn’s hitboxes extend far beyond the actual model of his weapon\u2014considerably so. That boy’s swords have some phantom girth <\/em>to ’em.<\/p>\n
