The last one Alden ring Patch is repeating history. Alden ring Version 1.14 was released on September 10, 2024, Across all platforms.

Alden ring Patches are known for reinventing the wheelBut this is not because they make such huge, celebratory changes; Rather, it's because every aspect of the game is so fine-tuned that the slightest tweak can turn one of Alden rings hardest boss battles in a cakewalk. The pre- and post-patch versions of the same boss can play as two completely different fights, and the pre-patch versions often become notorious for their relative difficulty. Fromosoftware fans are no strangers to this sort of thing - it's just unusual that it happened to the same guy twice.
Elden Ring Patch 1.14 Nerfs Radahn - Again
Consort Radahn follows the path of Starscourge Radahn
Alden rings final patch nerfs the final boss of Shadow of the strawberry tree, promised consort Radahn
In much the same way a previous patch nerfed Starscourge Radan
. Promised Consort Radahn (along with his second form Radahn, Consort of Mikella) has been nerfed in three categories: general damage, stamina damage, and attack range. Additionally, Radahn's attack pattern at the start of battle has changed, possibly meaning he will be slightly less likely to fire off ranged blasts the second the player crosses the fog wall.

The visibility of some of his attack effects has also been increased, which may make it easier to see some of his incoming swings. This parallels the earlier nerve of Starscourge Radan
The original form of the same character in the base game. Radahn was infamously made dirty by patch 1.03. Released in April 2022, this patch decreased both his attack damage and the size of his hitboxes.
In previous versions, Radahn's sword hitboxes were admittedly larger than they should have been, and would often hit players even if they were miles away from the arc of his blades. Couple that with his increased damage prior to the patch, and Starscourge Radahn was a much deadlier boss then than he is today.
Defeating pre-nerf Radahn has become a badge of honor - again
Players brag about beating pre-nerf Consort Radahn
Starscourge Radahn's nerf came quite early in the days of Alden rings release, so Only a select few players were able to beat the more difficult version before patch 1.03. Whether a player has a chance to fight pre-nerf Radahn is mostly down to a convergence of factors: when they started the game, how much time they dedicated to it, and the order in which they chose to challenge the shardbearers.
For many who have achieved this lucky coincidence, however, Defeating pre-nerf Starscourge Radahn became a badge of honor. The players would take to social media and speak in the manner of grizzled veterans, recounting their glorious victories in battle and decrying the post-patch generation for being too soft.

Now, history repeats itself again, With many players boasting of defeated promised consort Radahn
For the last nerf. It's been a little longer since Shadow of the strawberry tree came out (three months to patch 1.14, compared to the two-month gap between launch and patch 1.03), and the DLC is significantly shorter, so the pre-nerf consort Radahn beaters make a slightly bigger cohort.
But the bravado is the same, and the coincidence of Radahn being the most nerfed twice is not lost on many of the players. To be fair, beating pre-nerf consort Radahn is an impressive achievement. Shadow of the strawberry trees final boss is widely regarded as the most difficult in Alden ring Since the launch of the DLC, at least a little pride is justified.
Whatever the case, it seems like Microsoft has moved on from the poison swamps; His new obsession is nerfing Radahn. It's hard to say whether Radhan will actually keep his crown as the hardest boss in the game Alden ring; Only time will tell when players begin to face the newly nerfed version of the final boss of the DLC and be able to compare and contrast.
