Radagon Icon Effect in Elden Ring

Gives 30 virtual Dexterity, exclusively towards spellcasting.

Radagon of the Golden Order (also known as the Elden Beast) is the final boss fight in Elden Ring, taking place inside the Erdtree at Leyndell, Ashen Capital, and is your final fight - and a tough one at that.

This might seem obvious, but it's worth keeping in mind that Ashes of War and other abilities that act like spells (like Carian Grandeur or Glintstone Pebble) don't benefit from this cast time reduction of the Radagon icon.

Radagon is surprisingly weak to fire damage, and any flame-based attacks, skills, and spells can very quickly dispatch him. Popular weapons like Blasphemous Blade and the Sword of Night and Flame work great for this, as do fire Incantations and Sorceries. Use any of these to deal huge chunks of damage to Radagon.

Beyond that, here's some helpful advice for the almost-final battle. For the best chance to beat Radagon of the Golden Order, your recommended level should be 120 and up, with weapons of +22 or higher. Make sure you have a good Great Rune equipped.

It definitely DOES affect them, but the difference is marginal at best. It doesn't appear to be worth the investment for someone ONLY using dragon incantations.

The Carian Regal Scepter is arguably the best staff in the game. It's damage often outdoes Azur's Glintstone Staff, and it is incredibly fast to spellcast with, giving you an edge in particularly tough fights.

The Primal Glintstone Blade reduces the cost of all of your spells - including Sorceries and Incantations - by 25%. However, it will also reduce your maximum HP by 15%.

Radagon, also called Radagon of the Golden Order, is a major antagonist of the 2022 video game, Elden Ring and one of the overarching antagonists in its 2024 DLC, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. He is the male half of Marika and the protector of the Elden Ring.

What is Radagon secret? ›

A sculptor from Leyndell was commissioned to create a statue of Radagon. In doing so, he discovered a secret - that Radagon is Marika. This secret was hidden within the statue, and is revealed by casting Law of Regression in front of it, causing the statue's form to change from Radagon to Marika.

The Radagon Icon talisman reduces how long it takes to use a spell by adding the equivalent of 30 Dexterity worth of speed to your casts. The Radagon Icon talisman's item description reads: A legendary talisman depicting the Elden Lord Radagon. Shortens the casting time of sorceries and incantations.

Radagon Icon is there to speed up the casting of your spells like Black Flame Blade and Black Flame so that these go off faster.

If you don't want to use a slow, tanky Spirit Ash, opt for Black Knife Tiche. This summon is quite effective in this fight, as it can close the distance between itself and Radagon very quickly. Try to bring Incantations such as Black Flame to exploit the Radagon's weakness to Fire.

-Radagon resists Frostbite, Scarlet Rot, Poison and strongly resists Holy. He is immune to Sleep, Hemorrhage (Bleed), Death and Madness. Elden Beast resists Magic, Fire, Lightning and strongly resists Holy damage. It is immune to all (!)

Radagon of the Golden Order is an Elden Ring boss who you can fight shortly after you've cleared Leyndell, Ashen Capital. The father of Malenia might not be as difficult to beat as the notorious Blade of Miquella, but he is still a challenging foe who can smack you quickly with holy-powered attacks.

Without any doubt, one of the best all-rounded Talismans in Elden Ring is Radagon's Scarseal since it raises 3 several important stats, especially for melee class builds. But, with great power comes great responsibility since players receive 10% more damage from all sources, which can seem scary.

The Old Lord's Talisman will extend the duration of all spell effects by an additional 30%. This includes healing over time spells, buffs, sorceries, and incantations.
