Hey, for your challenge videos, what would you say to making two different tiers? 1 for people who are on any Elden Ring leaderboard and another for more casual players? I mean hell, now you could make two videos from each challenge you do. It'd make the challenge more inviting for less experienced players, and speed runners with honor would be willing to join as to not crush all the newbs. You could honestly probably get people like Bushy, Aggy, Squilla, and Gino involved if you did something like this. You also probably could change the prize pools if you did it like this.

[@Count.Saruman]

When Radagon fought Malenia, you get the sense that they've done this before. Malenia knew exactly how best to respond to Radagon's signature 'Elden Ring' attack. Radagon, likewise, did not challenge her in close quarters and relied mostly on sorcery, since he can't hope to match her skill with the blade. When he attacked, it was always to knock her down. It's elegant and saddening, as father and daughter probably trained together when Malenia was learning the art of war, before Miquella left the Golden Order and she left with him. It is possible Malenia was secretly preparing herself to destroy Radagon for Miquella one day, and that Radagon was resolved to raise his hammer against his daughter one last time.

[@FarmerSlayerFromTheEdoPeriod]

Its easy to forget the whole story spins around that: Just one big family with big family problems.

[@nightscout9979]

Considering Radagon's secret, it's more likely that Malenia witnessed the techniques by sparring with her mother.

[@Count.Saruman]

​@@nightscout9979That seems less likely, as the description for Gold Breaker says that it's Radagon's signature technique, not Marika's. Marika isn't ever seen fighting, either, which makes sense since she's the sovereign, and is supposed to be above battle. She is better known for placing unbreakable curses: such as the curse on the Fire Giant, and the curse on Hewg, as well as the death-curse in the Fell God. She's described as absolutely terrifying and mysterious, while Radagon is more personable. If Marika needed to fight, it seems she'd send Radagon or Maliketh to do it instead of dirtying her own hands. Radagon- who was close to Miquella- seems a more likely candidate to spar with Malenia.

[@nightscout9979]

@@Count.Saruman Gold Breaker might be Radagon's technique, but the hammer is undoubtedly Marika's weapon. Marika also traveled the lands to the eventual sites of her churches, hence why the "echoes" of Marika's words are there, and sealed the Fell God of the Fire Giants, so she likely wasn't a feeble target. Furthermore, with Marika's past ties to the Numen who became the Black Knife Assassins, and with Marika's implied daughter Melina fighting just like them, Marika herself probably can fight like them and taught Melina how to do so. All the mystical elements, such as the energy spears, likely stem from Marika as well.

[@Count.Saruman]

​​@@nightscout9979You misunderstand me. I'm actually implying the opposite thing: that Marika herself was too powerful and significant to wield her own weapons. Marika is never described as using her hammer as a weapon. Radagon's the only one who is. What Marika's shown doing with it is shattering the Elden Ring. Hewg cowers in terror at the bare memory of her. I also mention that she sealed the Fell God- but don't forget that when it came to fighting the Giants, she used Godfrey. When it came to fighting her rival, the Gloam-Eyed Queen, she used Maliketh. It does not seem Marika fights her own physical battles- she comes in to deliver the metaphysical deathblow after they have been fought. See how she deals with Gransax- she does not fight him, and instead petrifies him in stone. Her magic was so powerful that I doubt she needed to fight. When there was a physical fight at hand- why risk herself? This is what the Black Knife Assassins are for, too. Secondly, Radagon's spears and magic are absolutely his own. If you even look at the colour, it's the deep gold of Golden Order incantations and not the bright gold of Erdtree incantations. The crisscross pattern one particular bolt generates is also explicitly Radagon's seal, not Marika's (as seen by the fact that it appears behind Radgaon's statue, but not Marika's). There's no evidence to suggest it stems from Marika- in fact, Radagon opposed Marika's views. Thematically, I don't see Marika as even needing to wield martial magic. She could just seal her enemies away, or throw powerful curses at them (looked at what happened to Gransax), or just awe them by her sheer presence. Radagon was the warrior- he is called a champion and has a history of fought wars, after all- while Marika was very much the sovereign, distant god looking down on all beneath her.

[@lordofcinder8884]

You as radagon is pretty much lore accurate radagon😂😂

[@Count.Saruman]

Radagon might not actually be that strong as a warrior. If he were, Marika wouldn't have needed Godfrey to destroy the Stormlord and the Giants. He was also unable to defeat Rennala and was additionally spoken of as a 'mere champion'. It was generally regarded as a surprise that he ascended to the Elden throne at all. Maliketh and Godfrey were Marika's warriors. Radagon's power was of a more mystical and ontological nature- with the way he sealed the Erdtree, imposed Order on the Lands Between after an age of war, was responsible for a 'Regression' that Marika was fighting against and was a smith capable of potentially mending the Elden Ring.

[@deshaun-]

yh but that was the past , radon right now is in his prime since he has become a god. current Aragon slams Godfrey but Idk about Maliketh @@Count.Saruman

[@nightscout9979]

It's actually more of a weird amalgamation of Radagon, aspects of Marika that Radagon can now access from the reassimilation despite Marika still opposing him, and the Elden Beast. When Radagon was separate from Marika, he was tied with Rennala, whose Phase 2 construct is probably sufficiently accurate to her real self, considering the Remembrance that results from defeating it. Marika was probably a war god, considering that she's the most likely person to have taught Melina the fighting style of the Numen women who became the Black Knife Assassins, and the hammer is Marika's own, not Radagon's weapon. In addition to these skills, Marika wields the Elden Ring. Finally, the black energy making up part of Radagon's body is implied to be the Elden Beast, hence why the Phase 2 cutscene plays out the way it does. With that in mind, the Elden Beast is just as present as Radagon in Phase 1, and the Elden Beast is responsible for Radagon being able to do a lot of his techniques, or perhaps even move in general.

[@anonisnoone6125]

@@Count.Saruman Radagon himself never lost to Rennala. Their armies r the ones that fought. Radagon and Rennala themselves didn't fight. I just wanted to mention that.

[@nightscout9979]

Thanks for the great videos, and I hope you had a fabulous vacation! Regarding unused moves, did Radagon also have a technique where he raised his left hand and a circular aura of energy appeared on the ground? I once saw a gif of Radagon doing that technique over a year ago, but I've never encountered it in any battles with him. The only other time I've seen a technique like that was in a different modder's video, where he experimented with a move that was supposedly a scrapped healing AOE for Radagon. Ever since then, I've wondered whether that move was created outright by modders or was something that went unused but stayed in the game's code, a la the Tree Sentinels' variant of Holy Ground. For your next video, I think the Crucible Knight could be fun to show first due to it being a normal enemy that will have to manage with its varied move pool and shield. After the Crucible Knight video, the Mohg run could be a return to a formidable boss, and the Crucible Knight video being between the Radagon and Mohg ones might better emphasize its unique aspects. Also, while you've already recorded the footage by now, I'm curious if you alternated between Ordovis-style and Siluria-style knights, and if you played as the in-game Crucible Knights to use their unique stat distributions in response to major challenges.

[@AmazingChest]

Yes! He does have the sorcery parry, but unfortunately I was unable to get it to work in this playthrough. In response to your question about which Crucible Knights I used, I think you’ll be very pleased with the result 😈

[@nightscout9979]

@@AmazingChest I don't mean Radagon's parry, I mean a technique where he lifts his left arm straight up over his head and a circle appears on the ground like when he drives a spear into the floor. Is that a lingering AOE that repels sorceries?

[@AmazingChest]

Hey thanks for the suggestion, I’ve heavily considered this, and some of the issues that come to mind are: 1. Leaderboard players having no honor and competing under different names. 2. Structure of the video: two different videos for the same challenge in the same game wouldn’t make sense from a content creation/viewership standpoint. One longer video following 3 or 4 different competitors don’t usually perform well compared to a 1v1 standpoint (see Sekiro video for example) which leads me to believe that people don’t want to watch that. 3. The prize pool would need to be reduced for each party in order for the video to remain profitable which would make the challenge less appealing for competitors. All things considered, I really do want to try this out and the most successful iteration of it that I’ve done was undoubtedly the Most Bosses in an Hour Elden Ring challenge where I had incentives for casuals and shouted them out at the end. Only problem there is average viewer duration as most people click off at the end of the main race. Excuse the wall of text, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes of the videos and I’m always experimenting and trying to figure out what the best format is for viewers and competitors. Let me know if you have any thoughts about any of this.
