God damn. Our boy Radahn just can't catch a break. He chose his horse over Miquella, so Miquella had Melania nuked him and Calid. Then after we finally bring him the peace of death. Miq resurrects his soul in Mohg's body, just so he could be his puppet. 😟

[@Alex-kf3rm]

​@@nahrubish Its heavily implied mohg was manipulated and likely mind controlled.

[@oria322]

This is false. Please play the DLC before spouting your headcanons. ​​Radahn made a vow to Miquella that he will be his consort for his new order Age of Compassion. But Radahn should die in order to be with Miquella and become a Lord. "A lord will usher in a god's return, and the lord's soul will require a vessel." So Radahn wanted an epic battle before getting reborn to the Lands of Shadow, and that’s why Miquella sent his “loyal blade” to kill Radahn. Malenia and Radahn locked in stalemate, so Malenia eventually uses her scarlet Aeonia to kill him, but Radahn survived because his great rune “burns to resist the encroachment of the Scarlet Rot”. The Tarnished then kills Radahn which indirectly helps Miquella to start his plans.

[@Jademoon25]

Miquella is basically a junior version of his mother Marika in many ways. He is also a bit reminiscent of Ranni, more so than his own twin Melania. This was an interesting and entertaining DLC.

[@Follower_of_Havel]

He is more of a stalker than his mother, because not even death took away his unhealthy passion for Radahn.

[@WobblesandBean]

Eh, I would argue against him being like Ranni. He's more like his mother. All Ranni did was forge the black knives in order to free herself of her fate as the greater will's pawn, it's not ever stated that she intended to take down Godwyn. It's heavily implied that Marika was behind the assassination of Godwyn, because not only are the assassins who attacked him her own bodyguards, but she went to the same forge that made the black knives to create the hammer that broke the elden ring. Why she did it I dunno, maybe it was her way of manipulating events to justify her shattering of the elden ring. It's not really clear. I would argue that Ranni is the closest thing to a good guy the game has. All of the demigods are manipulative and have a "ends justify the means" mentality, but Yanni is the only one who actually benefits the realm for doing so. She just wants to end the influence of the Outer Gods who have caused all of this suffering. She even leaves the world entirely after achieving this goal, because she wants the people to truly be free, she doesn't want to impose her own will over everyone like Miquella does.

The stories in these games are always confusing and not really the main focus but I'm kind of upset about Radahn as the last boss tbh. There were lots of other characters I wanted to learn more about. Radahn's story felt finished. Him coming back out of nowhere and being the last boss feels really random and like a wasted opportunity to explore other characters like Godwyn, Gloam Eyed Queen, Malenia's 3rd bloom, etc. Oh well.

Radahn is surely a surprising choice, but: - Godwyn's soul is dead, it's one of the main theme of the game, it couldn't be brought back to life; - Malenia's 3 bloom is the second phase of the bossfight, we already saw it. - the Gloam Eyed Queen would be beautiful, but is the usual Miyazaki lore-wise character who is heavily referred in the description and dialogues but never been showed (the pygmy in Dark Souls 1, the Church of Londor in Dark Souls 3, Tomoe in Sekiro etc), that damned director is a sadic recidivist. Obiectively speaking, the only real alternatives to Radahn would be Miquella alone (but it would be strange due to the building of the character and the progression of the DLC) or something completely different (another cliché of Fromsoft's game, and THANKS they didn't repeat themselves this time).

[@justingabriel1765]

The thing is I don’t think he is a bad guy, the thing is that his powers allow him to manipulate people. It’s certainly possible that he is some evil person in a disguise BUT I think that he truly thinks this is the right thing to do. He doesn’t understand he’s doing the same thing his Mother did, and would become a slave to the order he creates. St. Trina is his other half and begs us to kill him, to set him free of godly fate. It sounds like at least from her perspective, him throwing away everything that makes him him, is essentially makes whatever god he becomes, not the one that people think. It does sound like he just was going about this the wrong way. But being very determined and utilizing his abilities for what he thought was right. Like with him and Radahn being essentially a thing, I think that was probably legit, because it wasn’t there was other he could have very easily gotten it to be. It could have also been a part of him manipulating Radahn but I think they made their promise, and then Miquella put his plan into motion. We’ll have to see, but that’s how I’ve interpreted it.

[@_venus_d1v1ne_ch1ld_]

I actually believe that Miquella's consort was Godwyn, The reason being was that Miquella said 'my lord brother' a quote sourced from the golden epitaph. Moreover, I believe it was Mogh's essence/body being used but also Radahn's flesh/body and finally the returned soul of Godwyn. An amalgamation and unison of everything in the lands between, the omen (crucible), the house of caria (moon/cosmos), and finally the golden order itself through Godwyn. I believe that Miquella's plan needed Godwyn and Radahn because Radahn's body would have been able to perfectly house the soul of Godwyn. Mogh's body or essence could have been an added bonus as Miquella desired to create a world where everyone and everything would have a peaceful existence. I think Miquella wanted to save as much as they could as in a way they saved a piece of each of their brothers. I believe Malenia and Radahn were destined to fight but I believe it wasn't Miquella's intention for Radahn to become a shell or scarlet rotten crazed beast. I noticed Miquella wanted to desperately return the soul of Godwyn and 'Lord brother' is a term miquella used in significance to Godwyn rather than just Radahn. I noticed in the two phases that there was blood flame used (Mogh), gravity (Radahn), and in the second phase Miquella's light, but if you look very closely there is a lightning element in it too (Godwyn). This is just my take though, lmk what you think. Or it could be that Godwyn's soul was needed to restore radahn and maybe Godwyn loved miquella whereas Radahn didn't. Food for thought

[@HallstaR35]

I believe that it was Godwyn who was Miquella’s first choice to be his consort. But in the night of the black knives, that changed/ triggered everything. Idk this is the craziest plot twist.

Radahn was a well respected general whose soldiers were loyal and he taught himself gravity magic to save his horse and hold back the stars.

Gameplay and shotacon jokes aside (seriously, being someone's consort doesn't automatically equate to sex or romance), I feel like Radahn's design in SOTE is majestic, especially when Miquella goes on his back (he finally achieved his best Godfrey impression). Starscourge design is great, but man, COM Radahn also deserves some recognition. Edit: Radahn kinda looks like Ganondorf in some angles. Also someone pointed out that he got Super Saiyan 3 because of Miquella's hair LOL.

[@restlessGuy69]

Spoilers ahead!!!!!!!!!!!: So let me get this straight (from what I’ve been reading so far) Miquella and Radahn agreed to be god and consort prior to the ring shattering. Miquella chose Radahn to be his consort due to him being one of the strongest and kindest Demi gods (but he has a thirst for battle). He’s goal was to make a gentler world with Radahn as his consort > After the ring shattered everything went south. Radahn found out about Miquellas plan of using his manipulation power and since he didn’t agree with his plan he backed out last second > Miquella manipulated Mohg to bring him to Mohgwyn palace while he’s in his cocoon form to continue his plan. Miquella chose Mohg since he’s one of the two Omen demigods who have connection to the outer gods and the shadow world and can be used as a vessel for Radahns soul. > Radahn didn’t know about Miquella manipulating Mohg but knew that in order to stop his plans he had to hold back the stars in order to stop fate. Thus why he used his mastery of gravity to hold both the stars and Astel. > Miquella sent Malenia to fight Radahn since he backed out last second but still made the promise. and that’s why during the story trailer, when Malenia is about to unleash the Scarlett bloom on Radahn, she whispers “Miquella awaits thee, O promised consort” to Radahn. (Queue the whole thing with Ranni killing Godwyn and certain death yadayada) Even while in a rotting state Radahn is still able to hold back the stars stopping Miquella from advancing with his plans. It is only until we kill him that Miquellas plan starts its motion again since Radahn soul is now free. Once we kill Mohg, Miquellas plan is almost complete since Mohgs body is now used as completed vessel for Radahns soul. And once we enter the Land of Shadows we are introduced to people that Miquella manipulated (Leda and Hornsent and others). > We would’ve been completely tricked to join his plan if it wasn’t for certain clues in the Land of Shadows and with the help of St Trinas secret dialogue in the game. I still don’t get if we managed to kill Miquella and stop his plan since in the credits he says that he’s going to become a god. So either we didn’t succeed or he was going to be a god regardless. Either way

[@edgyedge9922]

the Circlet of Light drop says in the item description that "This circle was to be the very foundation upon which Miquella's ager of compassion would be built, should it have ever come to pass." Wich means that Miquella was not able to achieve his goal of becoming a God. I think the cutscene part where Miquella talks about becoming a god was just a "memory".
