Elden Ring: How to Beat Red Wolf of Radagon

You already know that the boss battles in Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, would be a difficult chore for anyone, even if you are a veteran of such games. After completing the Academy of Raya Lucaria, you will be faced with a miniboss in the form of the Red Wolf of Radagon. Here's how to beat the Red Wolf of Radagon in Elden Ring so you have the best chance of surviving.

How to Beat Red Wolf of Radagon in Elden Ring

To begin, you need to be about level 35-40, depending on whether you want a melee-focused or ranged build. The Red Wolf of Radagon is a considerably more formidable opponent than the different wolves found throughout the game.

The fight takes place in a small area, and while the boss has a lot of influence over the situation, all you have to worry about is having enough space to dodge assaults. It's best to stay near the center of the room and keep away from the corners.

To defeat the Red Wolf of Radagon, you must keep out of close range, play defensively, and strike cautiously just when a window comes up. Its combinations are limited to three hits, and you don't have much time to respond if you successfully evade or if its assault misses.

After its jumping slash, you have the best chance of doing some damage, but even then, you should only get one or two swings in. If you can summon some help using Spirit Ashes, they can also serve as wonderful distractions for the boss.

You can evade all projectiles by racing sideways when it uses them. When the Red Wolf of Radagon lays down a single or triple of sword traps, it is preparing for a long-ranged lunge. Rolling at the precise moment immediately before it hits you can let you dodge all of the damage.

It's nearly impossible to stun or even make the boss flinch if you want to do so. Using throwables in addition to your regular melee or ranged strikes, however, can eventually cause it to stagger, allowing for a critical hit. Jumping strong attacks can help, but with such a tiny window, it's not recommended.

Maintain a safe distance, saturate it with spells and ranged attacks, and strike when it misses. The fight against the Red Wolf of Radagon in Elden Ring is an attrition battle, but there are no additional nasty surprises in store.
