This game is so perfect. No Microtransactions or Season Pass. A complete game and you can collect all things in the game. It reminds me of the good old gaming days when you just bought a game and had fun. GAME OF THE YEAR 2022. From Software deserves this title with Elden Ring. Other gaming companies could learn from Elden Ring. A game will sell copies when done the right way.

He just wants for you to kill him and put to an end his misery, caused by the punishment of the greater will.

There's a piece of fan fiction I wish I was smart enough to recite. It tells the story of the battle from Radagon's perspective, how another tarnished has stepped forward to repair a world these gods cannot but then the narrative twists stating 'this tarnished is different, he burns with the frenzied flame, he is not here to repair the Elden Ring' and how this is a battle Radagon cannot afford to lose. My words are no where near as eloquent but the fan fiction around this game is incredible, some super talented people on here.

Also If torrent was made available for this boss, It would make most of its attacks a joke to the point where it isn’t hard anymore. And it’s a final boss, it shouldn’t be easy.
