Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Elden Ring has been a hit since the beginning. The game was released in 2022, and will soon get the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The game was a hit because it managed to the players from the West as well.
Elden Ring came with a vast and stunning open world which marked the entry of FromSoftware into these types of games. The game also introduced the players to some of the most iconic characters along with their individual lore. Moreover, since FromSoftware is well known for making difficult games, Elden Ring offered players some of the best bosses to fight with.
Hidetaka Miyazaki reveals his favorite boss from Elden Ring
During an interview with Xbox Wire Japan in 2022, Hidetaka Miyazaki spoke about many developmental aspects of the Elden Ring game. Miyazaki is well known in the gaming industry for games like Dark Souls, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
In the interview, he also spoke about his favorite boss from the game. Elden Ring comes with many bosses and therefore during the interview, he was asked about his personal favorite boss. To this Miyazaki responded by saying, “I’m really confused, but it’s Radan”.
Miyazaki further adds that after he first pitched the idea of the Legendary Boss Radahn and the concept of the Radahn Festival by which players will be able to get on a fight, his team members were not very happy about it.
He said the following during the interview regarding the team’s reaction to Radahn’s idea,
I miss the days when no one on the team took me seriously (lol)
Miyazaki also said, “He’s attractive as a character, and I also like the situation of the Radhan Festival”, giving an explanation as to why the demigod is his favorite.
Players know Radahn as a Legendary Boss in Elden Ring who is also one of the strongest demigods in the game. However, he is an optional boss in the game and therefore it is not necessary for the players to engage with him to make progress in the game. However, players will have to defeat him to get access to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
Miyazaki also added during the interview that apart from Radahn, Godric, and Rykard are his next favorites on the list of bosses in Elden Ring.
FromSoftware nerfed Radahn in the update 1.03 patch notes
FromSoftware’s games are known for being difficult and Elden Ring is no different. In fact, it is one of the most difficult games today. While the game comes with many bosses, some players were finding to difficult to fight with Radahn.
Many complained of not being able to keep up with Radahn at his full potential. After listening to the complaints of the players, FromSoftware rolled out the 1.03 patch notes, and from what it looked like, the abilities of Radahn were nerfed.
Although the developers didn’t officially mention this and addressed the update to fix various bugs, many dataminers felt that the legendary boss was doing significantly less damage to players after the update.
In this new update, according to many players, Radahn’s weapon hitboxes were reduced by almost 40 percent. His melee damage was also reduced by around 8-10 percent. Moreover, his projectiles were also made smaller.
Many players were also not happy with the developers for excessively nerfing Radahn. This is because even in the New Game, the demigod was easy to be defeated no matter what type of build was used against him.
