Radahn ended up being, uhhh, more simple, once I combined strats and stopped being stubborn. Getting him to P2 was easy enough. I could stagger him right before he flew off. Rot Breath him during the stagger. Then just kite P2 and he went down basically without me getting hit.
I still insist that is one of the worst designed encounters From have created and sticks out like a sore thumb against the greatness that is the rest of the game. Nothing about it is appealing or interesting. The walk from the Statue, the walk to summon while dodging arrows, the walk up the hill to fight him, all your allies chain dying, run around summon, the one hit spells, the one hit phase 2. The lead up to the encounter. Anyways, I digress... Let's focus on the positive.
