[@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.

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.

Godwyn is long dead, and the entire game revolves around how he's the one Demigod that TRULY died, so he wouldn't work.

[@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.

[@thevoidzor]

@@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".

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.

@@guilhermetpp Kinda implied. Since he seems to be in love with Radahn. Though he did had female half which he seemingly cast out. That half is more likely Trina who is not pleased with Miquella. 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.

[@Glodwra]

I’m sorry…but this feels so ham-fisted and fan-servicey. You can tell that this was never, ever planned for their characters. ALL the Demi gods were at war with eachother, that was the reason Malenia fought Radahn, nothing more. They wanted to use Radahn so bad we had our “somehow he returned” moment with using Mohgs body for his soul??? Really?????

[@C0WABUNGAITIS]

Finally someone not sucking Miyazakis meat... this was dissapointing as hell. I've given elden ring at least 200 hours, 6+ runs, and in the end I realise that apart from the scenery, music and art, almost every boss feels like a chore, boring, tedious, etc., there are 5 enjoyable bosses out of 100+ and now they come and drop this garbage to also keep recycling bosses from the main game. I'm done lol

[@DUNGSI27]

Probably would have been better if Radahn had been midway point boss, while Messmer should have been the final boss. I dont think many people would have complained.

[@EmmyOnYoutube]

Alright as far as we can gather from the item descriptions in the dlc: Miquella manipulated everyone with his beguiling charm, except Radahn wasn't ever manipulated by him. Because of this, Miquella ordered Malenia to nuke Radahn and coerce, pretty much force him into becoming his lord and consort. He likely did this so he can ascend into full godhood? Also we don't know what his main goal was but he does want to make the world a kinder gentler place so maybe he wanted to manipulate the world into being peaceful? In any case what a whiplash wow

[@Mario-SunshineGalaxy64]

No coercion, it was all consensual. The Caelid thing happened entirely because Radahn wouldn’t let Miquella smash until he and Malenia helped him cosplay as Godfrey and have an epic battle. It was basically a big ‘ol bachelor party for Radahn before he tied the knot with Miquella and helped him usher in the Age of -Consent- Compassion.

Radahn consented to Miquella but became corrupted by the greater rune. Malenia was sent to kill Radahns flesh so Miquella could reunite with his soul in the lands of shadows. Malenia failed to kill Radahn but she ended up blooming in Caelid splurging rot everywhere. We, the tarnished, inadvertently help Miquella by killing Radahn

[@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...

yea it would make sense to see another one about godwyn but i kinda doubt that they will make another 2 year production cycle. it wouldnt even have to be that big tho, a normal dlc with 3-5 rememberance bosses would be enough

@@cmpope2366 yup. I love fromsoft and its games and I think Miyazaki is a genius, but they really just pulled the laziest decision out of their ass by making it radahn. I know the lore implications, I know it technically makes sense, but it’s still so lazy to not only recycle an already amazing boss, but also use the same boss theme for it.

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?

I’ve never been more let down in my entire life by this ending and final boss. We didn’t even get to fight a resurrected Godwyn. I thought Miquella was going to turn himself into an actual God and we were going to have a crazy 3 phase fight or something. Unreal.

Quite possibly the worst boss fight in the history of From Software. I refuse to believe this got positive feedback from playtesters.

[@headphones2308]

Radahn finally achieves his dream of becoming Godfrey, with Miquella becoming Serosh. Man started out as a fanboy and ended up becoming the hero he always looked up to.

[@darkssz]

Don't get me wrong, I had a great time playing the DLC, and despite some flaws, this is probably the BIGGEST one. Lore-wise this is horrible. Radahn is a giga chad, I think he's amazing, but the story just isn't it bro...little to no explanation at all, the DLC ends like you're hitting a wall and there's nothing to look for. Feels super empty. Making Miquella GAY for RADAHN and manipulating people to get him? What the fuck is this? FromSoftware going woke now? Hell nah

[@federicomonterorivera9842]

Totally agree. I emjoyed the dlc, but the lore-story was really bad. They mentioned that Miquella's journey was incredible, since we started the dlc they spoke a lot of things of him. At the end, it was nothing.

[@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.
