This is beautiful. Only possible thing I can say that would make it better. When Sauron's doing his triple slam, instead of a rune arc appearing on top of his head, imagine if it was his eye instead. Literally the only thing that could be improved, this mod works brilliantly.

[@vaclavsoukup7302]

@@shayposting Well, see, that's because Sauron didn't go around as a hulking suit of armour. That was Morgoth's shtick. Sauron preferred the form of a beautiful man (or elf) as he loved perfection and beauty. Since he was drowned, he could no longer take that guise and used a form that was dark and horrifying (but never stated to be armoured). The only thing that's known about it is, that he had only nine fingers; Isildur hit him so hard that he didn't regenerate from it even in late Third Age.

I feel the Fire Giant would be the Balrog (I can see Mohg being one of the vampires Tolkien mentioned tho). Malenia could also be used to build the Witch King's moveset but with some traits of his SOW boss fight

[@ConcreteCrescent]

​@@ItsButterBean1020 I'm not seeing it. Fire Giant's moveset isn't reminiscent of Durin's Bane at all, what with all the rolling around and two-handed slams.

[@alexramey2062]

The "divine smith" motif of Radagon fits perfectly for Sauron, seeing as he was a craftsman under the Valar Alue the Smith. Makes me dream of what a video game adaptation of LOTR under Fromsoft would look like. Edit: I just wanted to point out that "Sauron, Lord of The Rings" is a freaking perfect boss title. Imagine how hard it would hit seeing that pop up as you approach the final boss.

[@AjaxJP]

If that ever came to fruition it would steal my whole life

[@Count.Saruman]

The personality also fits. Sauron loved Order and was obsessed with dominance and perfection. He was also faithful to Morgoth to a fault, so much so that he got the Númenóreans to worship him.

[@es-rh8oo]

Oh for sure 😁😁 What about these: *Sauron, The Last Elden Lord* *Sauron of the Darkness* *Sauron, The Elden Shadow*

[@scottiecurrie7927]

I was so hype when I saw that title card. "The Lord of the Rings" is such a simple title that we've all gotten used to hearing, but seeing it in action ignited how cool it was in my mind again

[@Jake-zk3eb]

His normal Radag9n form can fit nicely with Sauron's Anattar lord of gifts form.

[@malenia8098]

This fight is even better when you realize the similarities between Sauron and Radagon. Sauron has the power of the One Ring (most powerful object in Middle-Earth) and Radagon is vessel to the Elden Ring (most powerful object in the Lands Between). They both even have the same goal: to bring order to the world through conquest. Except Radagon was praised as a hero. Also Radagon is a good-looking guy in his portrait in the Roundtable and Sauron would usually take a fair and beautiful form in the Second Age.

[@Count.Saruman]

They also tried to get other civilisations to pray to the god they served (Radagon to the Greater Will and Sauron to Morgoth), and were well-known for their smithing skills. Not to mention Sauron was praised as a god as well. "...Sauron stood there upon the pinnacle and defied the lightning and was unharmed; and in that hour men called him a god and did all that he would." (Akallabêth) Ultimately, they were both mighty figures revered by the world who inwardly remained pawns until the very end.

[@smilyl6049]

Another similarity is that Sauron is the second dark lord while Radagon is the second elden lord

[@legadomerrick5301]

You are absolutely right since the first time I saw Radagon something in him reminded me of Annatar the form that Sauron used in the second age of sun. Even if you look up the modern concept art of Annatar and compare it to the colored version of Radagon's portrait you'll find that they look a lot alike.

[@Count.Saruman]

@E E "Sauron was ashamed, and he was unwilling to return in humiliation and to receive from the Valar a sentence, it might be, of long servitude in proof of his good faith; for under Morgoth his power had been great. Therefore when Eönwë departed he hid himself in Middle-earth; and he fell back into evil, *for the bonds that Morgoth had laid upon him were very strong* ." "But in after days he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and *walked behind him on the same ruinous path* down into the Void." -Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age He may have thought he was using his association with Morgoth for power, but Sauron was always the Dark Lord's tool.

[@artorios637]

This is a perfect example of history is written by the victors. Had Sauron won, they would be essentially the same. History would praise Sauron as the man who united the world and brought about order if he won.

[@eaglenebula2172]

In over 20 years this is the one thing that did Sauron justice the most in any media content.

[@rkmugen]

That.... and it's from a complete other franchise.

[@jakobrenner2230]

Radagon's whole moveset fits Sauron perfectly. But it's not only that; so far Sauron has mostly been portrayed as an Evil Overlord who conquers and burns everything to the ground because he is a power-hungry semi-deity and, while this is true in some respects (especially in his Third Age incarnation), Sauron's whole purpose behind everything he does is for one thing: Order. That's why Radagon's symetrical-themed powers of the Golden Order also fit Sauron so well.

[@triplehelix3207]

@@jakobrenner2230 I think this goes to show how deeply Elden Ring takes from LOTR, that's obvious given enemies like the Night's Cavalry being just Nazgul but this takes the cake in a good way

I wish it was easier to add custom moves to bosses. It would be incredible to add him hovering in the air and doing the golden order emotes while summoning a giant eye that inflicts heavy madness if you’re too close, like the Frenzy-Flaming Tower in Liurnia.

[@Urd-Vidan]

People have done so in DS3 with the upgraded Nameless King and Orstein, which are fully customized bosses. Putting Artorias' actual moveset in the game, not a Gael reskin. Finally, Maria, Gherman, and Cleric Beast. They also made an Ancient Hero(from Demon's Souls) in DS3, but it's also a fully customized boss with Owl(Father)'s main body and movesets from multiple bosses. It's just a matter of time

[@lordanonimmo7699]

Putting other bosses moves in a boss will eventually happen,making new animations is the hard part.

[@ItsButterBean1020]

Elden Ring = The One Ring Chainge my mind

[@e.v4892]

The One Ring, iirc, is just a master switch for the network of power-boosting rings Sauron made for the races of Middle Earth. A powerful weapon, especially when used in conjunction with the other rings and the rulers and nations attached. The Elden Ring is, for starters, a lot more complicated. First there's its connection with the Elden Beast, Erdtree, Golden Order, Queen Marika (and Radagon), and the Greater Will, which has dubious levels on par with Christianity's trinity. Are they all one being, or separate parts of one being? Unknown and unconfirmed currently. Second, there's its function. It's meant to control the laws of reality on the Lands Between, but what does that mean? Through its connection to the Erdtree, Grace, the Rune of Death, and Those Who Live In Death, it at least controls the functions of immortality and rebirth. It's also said to command the stars, but that might just be a result of it being linked to the order Starscourge Radahn aligned himself with; it doesn't literally command the stars, it just so happens that the guy who does that likes the Elden Ring. Given that, does the Elden Ring govern the laws of reality, or just Life and Death? tl;dr the two rings aren't equal to each other, hope this helps

I don't know who is this Sauron, but i am so excited!

[@tdpuuhailee8222]

Wait you don't know who Sauron is?

[@allmasterofficial]

@@tdpuuhailee8222 All i know is that he is from a game or a series called " Lord of the Rings".

@@allmasterofficial Okay short explanation: Lord of the rings is a six part book series written by J.R.R. Tolkien (R.I.P), first three books are titled the hobbit and last three are titled Lord of the rings. Sauron is the big bad evil guy of the series who made bunch of rings and a master ring (a.k.a The One Ring) so he could control/rule the world. Ps. There is also movies. And they are great. So watch them or read the books.

TLDR, Sauron was the main antagonist from the original Lord of the Rings. Both a manipulator and a monster of combat, basically had the entireity of Middle Earth about to fall to it's knees at his feet. Before, you know, plot.

The teleport at 1:56 looks really bad, it looks like a still image was used in place of an animation. Otherwise pretty good

[@StenchSniffer]

Elden Ring didn’t strike me as a game that could be modded, but you’ve done it countless times, so good on you.

[@cruddddddddddddddd]

The 'fiery hand' was a nice touch

[@dev4159]

I find it fucking awesome how everything fits

[@bendelaughter]

This is incredible!

[@thebrickmaster7403]

That is so cool! I couldn’t tell exactly, but did you make one of his hands have 4 fingers? That would be insane!

[@Brioshie]

Fantastic. Made me fantasize a LOTR dark fantasy souls-like

[@myrar8708]

Amazing, ticks all my boxes.

[@thecrusherxxl]

Looks incredible. A small detail that could make it even better would be that he can shoot magic like fireballs or something like comet azur but with orange color. But I think that's difficult to make

[@samuelrios5321]

Idek what to say this is... Is just amazing ❤

[@SayHelloToMyLittleSchwing]

so perfect it brings a tear to my eye.

[@Krathyyy]

This is so awesome

[@j5joker9]

It’s sick how well this actually works

[@AwakeXFree]

This is so well made. If this was the final boss from a LOTR game I would not question it.

[@Acast009]

Awesome!!!
