Elden Ring - Red Wolf of Radagon - Review

Red Wolf of Radagon is definitely not a boss I really cared for due to it's sloppy aggression style of attacks and a sort of uncommon RNG attack. The telegraph design isn't the best here and that's a very important aspect to accomplish properly. I've expressed my opinion on this aggression design before with the Bloodhound Knight but at least that boss is parryable.

My strategy was basically attacking after the swords swings then backing off to avoid the Homing Sword projectiles which at times has really bad timing with the Red Wolf. They would shoot towards me and I would roll just to have the Red Wolf hit me with a sword or a bite because the attack initiated right after the point where I needed to evade the projectiles. This may not happen very often but it's still a huge flaw in my opinion because usually when a boss has really bad RNG then players are basically forced to exploit which isn't the motivation you want if someone wants to explore with restrictive playstyles. For the most part all the bosses have required skill to defeat so far.

I don't have much else to say about this fight and I'm not sure where it stands in popularity. One thing I can say is that it's first boss I used this awesome weapon with. One more thing I'll mention is that the Red Wolf of Radagon reminds me of a boss from Dark Souls.
