[@brandogg974]

The bussy does that to people

[@Marukanitel]

I have this explained, but this is a long one: There's actually no hint to this, it seems everyone knew, and agreed, including Radahn and Malenia. Reason why Miquella sent his sister to kill Radahn was because he was under the influence of a great rune and forgot his promise to Miquella, Malenia was along with it because in a helm description it said, "Miquella awaits thee, O' Promised Consort", and if you remember the cinematics where they fought, she says something but we couldn't hear, it was already hinted at before the base game even came out. But because she used scarlet bloom to defeat him it didn't kill him so Miquella had to manipulate Mogh to get his body somewhere else to where he could access the realm of shadows. Which was revealed in the DLC by Moghs follower. Then we kill Mogh and Radahn, two of the requirements to get into the DLC, therefore allowing Radahn to finally die and Miquella uses Moghs body but bc he is the Lord of Blood, Radahn is able to have his form come to fruition due to the malleable body, which we saw when his body came from blood, but since it's still his body you can see Omen horns on Radahns Gauntlet. And another thing Miquella *needed* a consort that wasn't an emperyan to ascend to Godhood and from a remembrance we know Miquella had a crush on Radahn and if it was going to be anyone it was going to be him, and Radahn promised. This would also bring the Carian family back with the Golden Order aligning their families to peace.

​@sparktwochristopher7240 Mention about giving his brother a proper death and causing an eclipse (likely meant to be Godwyn since he was never used, and 'lives in death', plus with Radahn having been an optional boss in the main game.) Kinda feel bad about Mohg now, he was just chilling with people who were outcasts and accepted by the Formless Mother. The whole caelid war was probably because Radahn didn't agree to the vow, what with the holding the stars in place to restrict fate. Mohg was under his control, that same body now has Radahn's soul shoved in it. His eyes are literally glowing gold. If it was something he agreed to, Miquella wouldn't have needed Malenia to 'kill' him. (Dude really said "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way, the choice is yours...") Plus the armor description about about the Caelid fight. (Radahn heard a murmur in his ear- "Miquella awaits thee, O promised consort") Radahn was literally fighting against Miquella's faction, so they just killed him and took his soul, so Miquella could get what he wanted either way. Feels like they just flipped the main boss of the DLC to Radahn instead, like I had thought it would similar to Great Ones dreaming in Bloodborne. That way both Miquella and Godwyn would fit into the story.

I ain’t gonna lie I just beat this myself and ended up so unsatisfied, and not bcuz I think the dlc is bad like no I think it was great I did enjoy it overall.

It seems like a retcon too. Why is he the final boss but not Godywn or really anyone besides him

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

It wasn't an ending, it was a massive retcon. That's why it feels so bad. 2 years for the DLC, when games take that long it's because they had to scrap what they had and restart.

That’s what I kept thinking too. Radahn’s arena fight/festival was such a grand spectacle that obviously had a lot of care and thought put into it. Meanwhile this fight, while not necessarily bad…is a tad bit underwhelming in comparison. Definitely left me expecting more. I kept thinking maybe it’ll be a three part boss fight. Either we’d fight Micky himself or Radahn (given his idolization of Godfrey and the similar imagery to Miquella’s on Radahn’s back, like Serosh on Horah’s.) would pull something similar to breaking free from Serosh as Godfrey had done in his fight. Just expected something more to it than what we got😅

[@luxinvictus9018]

After 2 years in development, I at least thought we'd fight Miquella or Godwyn alive as a boss. That would be so much cooler. From a lore perspective my only annoyance is that Radahn barely had any connection to Miquella. Out of ALL the characters, he is the LAST guy I'd expect to fight at the end of a Miquella DLC. Hell, they would have given us a pre-rot Melina, or a pre-insanity Mohg if they wanted to reuse a boss. But Radahn? Really?

[@thevoidzor]

@luxinvictus9018 seems like someone didn't understand what is happening and also what a freak Miquella is... also, Miquella isn't a Warrior regarding to lore, so i really can't see the logic behind fighting him, since by previous experiences on Fromsoft games, the DLC is always overall harder than the base game The reason you must defeat Radahn and Mohg is that Miquella is a freak that placed Radahn's soul inside Mohg's body, but completely nullifying any free will Radahn has. So basically Radahn itself is being controlled by Miquella for the purpose of having the Strongest Demigod (+ Mohg's Omen Powers) and lead him to become Elden Lord eventually... Miquella is an Empirean, a receptacle of a god, so when Radahn (being controlled) becomes Elden Lord, Miquella would be God AND Lord. You wanted a battle against Miquella? you got it, but bear in mind like i said that he is not a Warrior, and that's why when you defeat Radahn, the text says "God" and not "Legend" or "Demigod", you defeated Miquella.

[@Epistolary8]

@topical6574 this battle is much, much cooler when fought solo. This gangbang does so much injustice to the actual boss himself.

@@Epistolary8 completely agree with you, but don't worry, people will reply to you by saying things like "if it's in the game, it is to be used", "i don't want to spend hours in a boss" or "i don't have time for it", people want an epic battle while also getting the most help possible (take for example someone that summons a "Let me solo her" to defeat Malenia and just sits still watching) or cheesing the boss because are lazy to learn it's patterns. Later on these same people complain about the game while they themselves are ruining their experience. Fromsoft games tend to have something called Progression and Satisfaction, Miyazaki did even say that on an interview, about the amazing feeling and Satisfaction that you get when you find a wall in your path, and you break that obstacle by overcoming it yourself. Thats a feeling i can't say i had anytime i used summons or cheesing tactics, but i guess to each their own, after all, even if we get a hard game like it used to be in old times, that actually provides a challenge, we are in the Inclusion era, a time where every game must have an Easy Mode (Mostly speaking of Journalists), so "everyone can enjoy".

[@topical6574]

I'm sorry but the health bars in this DLC are atrocious, I'm extremely torn. I was expecting FromSoftware peak, but like.. Why Radahn? Why does it feel so empty once you beat him? It just feels so awkward, like you just got flung into a bad fan fiction instead of the final boss of the DLC. I don't even think this fight feels finished, I've done my 8 attempts now, everything just feels off. And why does every boss in this DLC rush you instantly as you walk through the fog? I mean EVERY boss. Bayle annoyed me with it, Radahn, every other dragon (4 of them) I was forced to fight. At least Messmer telegraphed his attack mid air before landing, giving a BIT of time to move from the door. The most good I can say about this DLC, is that the area is absolutely immaculate. The bosses have been extremely torn, and I don't feel like any of them tied together at all for a story. I couldn't BEGIN to tell you the correlation between Messmer and some dancing lion. Honestly at most I'm giving the DLC a 6, it hasn't been all too enjoyable. The new 'scaling' system either doesn't work, or is outright badly tuned. Boss health bars feel like they're in the 90k mark. The DLC was made around ashes, so I had to finally break my no ashes rule because I simply am not good enough to do 5-8 minute endurance fights against some of the hardest bosses Elden Ring has to offer.

[@edl4767]

Yea they fucked this one up really good. I don't think Miquella should have been a villain at all. They also ruined Mogh and Radahn for me what a pos DLC.

[@vbrant2705]

Biggest flop so far from FromSoftware in terms of dlc final boss Even the presentation felt bland and awkward compared to Ivory King, Kos, and Gael.

[@Yhogurt]

100% agree, I think it’s ridiculous that it’s almost impossible to get through bosses without Ashes.

@@Yhogurt I've beat him after days, had to use mimic tear. I'm perfectly fine with first phase, so I can solo that no problem. Once phase 2 starts and he has his little animation, I just summon mimic and begin the ACTUAL fight.

So Miquella manipulated everyone because he wanted to create a better world and we are the bad guys... Well, a typical Japanese move

[@davidnewhart2533]

I don't see how we're the bad guys though. Miquella is basically an extremist. Miquella is heavily inspired by Griffith from Berserk.

Nah miquella is just manipulative

[@ValsVideoGames]

People are overlooking that every demigod has some "noble ambition" that corrpts them to do awful things. A case could be made for Mohg's struggle the same someone could explain Malenia's or any other's, but at the end of the day they all try to justify the means to their ends. We the tarnished are no different, we are cast into a cruel world, cursed, and left to fight just to become corrupted by forces ourselves. This kind of story telling is not new at all to FromSoft and I think people are just upset because they expected something different, when the narrative built this up from the start.

THIS is the final boss? THIS? FromSoftware, what the hell happened to you? This has got to be GRRM just writing the ENTIRE story of the DLC because what the HELL MAN.

[@milijanpetrovic7228]

Long story short. Miquella charmed Mohg to kiddnap him and manipulate him. Meaning Mohg was not as evil as we first thought he was. He also sent Malenia to kill Radahn so he could rebuild Radahn into his consort as he was in love with him. Radahn by the way rebelled to protect Ranni from the golden order. We can also learn what Malenia did tell Radahn during thier fight. Anyway we kill Mohg and Radahn in main game, then Miquella uses their bodies and soul of Radahn to rebuild him. If you do lot of side quests you can summon up to to npcs to help you in final fight. Namely sir Ansbach and Thiollier whose quest is about Saint Trina who tells you to kill Miquella so he can atone for lot of other bad stuff he did. Hope this clears some of the things. There are still two very important bosses. Namely mother of fingers and Midra the old guy from portrait. He is lord of frenzied flame. And some othe smaller things.

And his love for Radahn seems to be one sided as Radahn has rejected him. As he has decided to wage war and arrest movements fate in order to protect Ranni from clutches of Golden order.

Lamest final boss in Fromsoft history. It’s a middle finger to the players. Don’t buy this garbage.

[@gitgud1018]

It's also crazy that we don't have a choice to not fight them. I think a lot of players would choose to let them usher in a new age. We have choices for multiple endings, why can't we choose this? We can choose to betray the erdtree and destroy the world even...

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

No You have to understand. The entire plot was the setup for a joke. The highest form of Japanese comedy, wordplay. The punch line is. Malenia, who fully backed Miquela wanting Radahn in his bussy, and would do anything to support her ship, was always the goddess of rot. The most rotten girl of them all. The undefeated fujoshi. Are you laughing yet?
