The Bugged Wolf of Radagon
🕑 Added 2022-09-15 18:04:07 +0000 UTCI'm working on a Q&A follow-up to the Elden Ring poise episode, and someone mentioned that they never broke the stance of Radagon and were wondering if a critical attack was available.
At first I was going to say yes, because I remembered seeing the orange glow following the stance break:
But then I kind of remembered only having whiffed it a couple times, never actually landing it. I thought I just wasn't fast enough (he doesn't stay down for long) or that I didn't get the right positioning. But then I went back with Cheat Engine so that I could keep knocking him down without ever killing him, and slowed his animation speed down to give myself more time.
As it turns out, it's impossible!
I ran this by King Bore and he found that there aren't any "throw param" entries for the Red Wolf. This basically means that the system isn't turned on, there's nothing there to make the critical attack possible.
I'm not finding a lot of discussion about this. I've found a couple comments on fextralife pages from people wondering why it's so difficult, but that's about it (I'll have to edit the actual pages later). Funny stuff.
They really ought to patch this. I would prefer if the critical attack was made available, but as an alternative they could also get rid of the orange glowing orb effect if they don't want it to be possible. Either change would be preferable to how it is now, which is very misleading.

This is too funny. It's been months since release and nobody noticed this because they all just thought they were bad.

I don't know how complex that would be to mod but I'm assuming that for people familiar with that sort of thing, it's probably not hard at all. I think the animation was completed so you probably wouldn't have to worry about that.
