Elden Ring movie director Alex Garland once again proves his Tarnished credentials as he begins his seventh playthrough – and starts dishing out tips mid-interview on one of the game's toughest bosses.

When asked by IGN whether he's had trouble beating any bosses in The Lands Between, the interviewer namechecked Starscourge Radahn – an infamous roadblock before players can reach the Eternal City of Nekron – as a particularly troublesome foe.

Garland, though, didn't agree: "I thought Radahn was quite easy," the director said, spoken like a man who didn't have to do with pre-nerf Radahn. "As long as you sort of activated the people who can assist you in that fight, they get on with that fight… they take off half his [HP] and you finish him off. It's all about activating those little summon signs dotted around."

The director confirmed once more that he's now on his seventh playthrough of Elden Ring, with plenty of flasks to heal and – most important – a "cool sword."
