I know he was called the strongest Demigod a few times, but I swear Blaidd told me that Radahn was the “strongest there is.” I cannot source this atm lol.

Also, Radahn was holding all of the Stars at bay right? Not just that one meteor? He had arrested the movement of every star?

EmperorKinyagi

the Elden Ring and by extension the Elden Beast is more powerful than Radahn as well, as Marika was actually able to kill the outer god worshipped by the fire giants.

EmperorKinyagi

Godfrey is a little more fuzzy since it’s unclear if the Elden Lord counts as a god or demigod

EmperorKinyagi

@Fleet Admiral Lee Hung
In medieval times all celestial phenomena were called stars, Astel and Fallingstar Beast are actually called stars in their item descriptions. I infer that it’s a meteor based on what we actually see in game

EmperorKinyagi

TLDR; outer gods and Marika wielding the Elden Ring definitely surpass Radahn, Elden Lords like Godfrey, Placidusax, and Radagon are more unclear

EmperorKinyagi

But Radahn is definitely much more powerful than Melania, Morgott, Rykard, Rennala, etc

Elder Lee Hung

What about Maliketh? Where would you scale him vs Radahn? He is a full-on God right? Not a Demi-god?

I think Godfrey being stronger than Radahn is a safe bet, because Radahn kept being compared to Godfrey, and Radahn himself seemed to worship Godfrey by putting the Lions on his armor. I think we're suposed to believe Radahn saw Godfrey as even above him.

How far are you two into the game? I'm currently level 134 and stuck at malenia.

I've beat it like two~three weeks ago? it took me one week from release to finish it with the Platinum Trophy.

Elder Lee Hung

I’m 76 hours in, level 130ish. Just beat the Fire Giant who sucks Donkey ass. This is my build, going for more of a quality RP build than an optimized build

I have beaten the game three times. My first playthrough was around 120 hours and my second and third were 15 ish hours each.

@PizzaBread I have the PC equivalent of a platinum

I also did Str + Int with Moonlight Greatsword, after beating the final boss i respec to check out all the broken builds people were making

EmperorKinyagi

@Plex I would look up strategies for Melania and consider respeccing if you get really really stuck

EmperorKinyagi

@Fleet Admiral Lee Hung Maliketh is weird, because he's the only one that can actually perma-kill things. I'd say he's probably like Radahn where he's far above most demi-gods but is definitely not at the top of the scale

Elder Lee Hung

I was using the Starscourge Greatswords, but I wanted something faster. This is definitely mainly an INT build atm but I do have 38 strength and decent DEX. Going to invest in mind once I get my INT to 52 for the Azur catalyst.

EmperorKinyagi

@Fleet Admiral Lee Hung The key with Strength builds is that fast weapons like longswords and katanas can be modified to scale with strength. I recommend having an upgraded shield and heavy-variant longsword on the side for faster foes like Melania and Maliketh

Elder Lee Hung

@AdmiralKinyagi like I said, I’m going for a fun build, not necessarily an optimized one lol. I’m leveling up stats by what I think will be fun, long-term this character will have all stats maxed hopefully.

EmperorKinyagi

I've done a pure unga bunga strength build, a strength faith build, and an arc/dex/bleed build (which is really really op btw). I am unfortunately not well versed in Int builds
