FromSoftware’s hit game, Elden Ring, contains seemingly hundreds of formidable foes, with one of the worst being the Red Wolf of Radagon. This boss is located in the Raya Lucaria area and can be a tough fight depending on a player’s build, even when using the help of Spirit Ashes. Figuring out how to defeat the Red Wolf Radagon is imperative to completing Elden Ring, as players cannot continue with the story until the enemy has been taken down. Find out how to prevail over this menacing canine below!
How to Defeat the Red Wolf of Radagon in Elden Ring
When preparing to go up against the Red Wolf of Radagon in Elden Ring, the key thing to remember is that this enemy uses both magic and fire-based attacks with a sword. Therefore, players should wear armor and gear that boosts their magic defense rating rather than their physical defense. It’s also a good idea to stock up on plenty of Flasks of Crimson Tears as the path to the Red Wolf is quite difficult, filled with numerous enemies. Sprinting past as many as possible is absolutely necessary if players are going to get to the boss with enough battle materials to win the fight.

The Red Wolf of Radagon is one of the quickest enemies in Elden Ring. It jumps and lunges rapidly around the room, making it difficult for players to hide. Although despite its speed, the Wolf does not have many attacks. Its fiery sword attack sees the boss lunge forward, swiping twice at the player. Simply rolling away or even blocking these attacks should be enough for this portion of the fight. A variation of the swiping sword is when the Wolf slams against its opponent just after the two sword slashes. Players will either need to back away or dodge roll this attack. The last variant of the sword attack is when the Wolf spins in huge a circle with the sharp weapon. This is not a lethal attack with the right amount of health as it only hits once, and a shield is very useful in this instance.
When the Red Wolf of Radagon attacks with three swords at once, they will hang in the air for a moment, making it pretty easy to dodge. Players simply need to dodge to one side repeatedly while keeping an eye on both the swords and the wolf.
It’s also important to note that the Red Wolf seems to be weak to Blood-based damage. A sword with a Blood Art deals some serious damage to this enemy of Radagon. The blacksmith in the Roundtable Hold can equip a weapon with a Blood attack. This will be incredibly useful in the fight.
Continuing to block and dodge through each of these attacks should eventually result in the defeat of the Red Wold of Radagon in Elden Ring.
