Of all the bosses in Elden Ring, Starscourge Radahn is widely considered to be among the most fearsome.
The former general-turned horrifying monster is undoubtedly one of the toughest boss battles in Elden Ring, combining terrifying long-range attacks with punishing melee abilities. No matter your build, Radahn is bound to cause a few headaches.

While Radahn was briefly nerfed, giving some players the opportunity to beat a weaker version of the boss, FromSoftware has since admitted this was a mistake and have once again buffed him up to former strength. Great news for the hardcore Souls fans who wanted the challenge - less good for newcomers.
Fortunately, one player has discovered that Radahn actually has a very simple weakness that's incredibly easy to exploit. It turns out that the good general is just the latest in a long line of video game characters who hates water. And you just so happen to be fighting him on the beach. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.
As spotted - and demonstrated - by Twitter user @izuoku (thanks, Gamesradar), you can beat Radahn and avoid his worst attack in one easy move.
As you can see below, if you bait him to the water's edge and get his health to the point that he flies up into the air to begin his meteor attack (roughly halfway through the fight) then you can finish him off by tricking him straight into the water!
Obviously there's still the issue of luring Radahn and whittling his health down to half, but any cheese that makes the job 50% easier is still worth doing. It's also worth noting that the meteor attack is usually one of the most stressful attacks in all of Elden Ring, so actively turning it against the bastard is genius in my book.
