Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Consort Radahn Theme
elden ring shadow of the erdtree the promised consort
![Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree OST - Divine Beast Dancing Lion Boss Theme [EXTENDED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cXcbqp6Kitc/mqdefault.jpg)
"General Radahn. A pleasure to see you after all this time. But those remains do not belong to you. Lord Mohg will have his dignity." Pureblood Knight Ansbach.
does he actually say that because thats badass
@@aurumix4040he says that when summoned against the final boss, yeah
Sir Ansbach is the MVP of this whole game in my opinion, most reasonable and decent guy in that broken world. If he gets defeated during the fight he even says to us to become a lord not for gods, but for all men.
More like PureCHAD Knight Ansbach
That quote is engraved in my brain after the several attempts I had with this boss.
“Righteous tarnished, you must become the Elden Lord; not for the gods, but for all men.” - Gigabased Ainsbach
Ansbach is everything I wanted Gideon to be and more.
Almost makes me want to give up on being lord of the frenzied flame
@@Semilamist almost
@@Semilamistsorry Ansbach, I gotta get that platinum 😭
*Leaves with Ranni to jump the Greater Will*
✋️🙂↕️
really really good ost mostly because you REALLY start to feel like “this is the run” when you start hearing parts you havent yet. Then you die.
😂😂😂😂😂 so true
Relatable
For me it’s just the next phase and then dead lmao
Did you get him?
@@User-xw6kd Solitude gs+ deflecting tear+ holy braid. Holy braid makes p2 not BS
Yeah no wonder Malenia had to resort to warcrimes if this is what she went up against
She also couldn't handle losing and nuking caelid kind of ruined Miquella's plans
@@nathanmagnuson2589miquella's first words in the dlc are literally thanking malenia.
@@yharnambeast9132 No, he's referring to you.
@@shiroamakusa8075"my loyal blade. and champion of the festival."
malenia, and you.
@@yharnambeast9132 Hes citing your victories
"My loyal blade, and champion of the festival. BOTH YOUR DEEDS will ever be praised in song"
He's talking about YOU as the tarnished taking out his loyal blade and becoming champion by taking out radahn.
Unironically might be my official favorite theme in any game it’s so fucking good
definitely my favorite in the franchise for sure Love that second part, and the flow state it has in second phase
First phase isn't favorite, I'm not sure but Im probably going to rate this higher than Ludwig's OST, Maria's OST, Godfrey's OST and that OST was fucking good and godskin duo's ost this was also very good as for all the ones I'm naming so far.
Slave Knight Gael is still peak for me
@@stevebolduc9903Ngl I’m just happy someone else also loves the godskin ost. Was easily my favorite in elden ring
@@michaelringel273 yeah it's really good, kinda sad I couldn't hear it properly first time I played.
"Righteous tarnished. Become our new lord. A lord not for gods but for men!" - Pureblood Knight Ansbach (his last words during the final battle)
Last words me and Rahdan heard just before I won that fight. Ansbach was a honorable man, and a much better old geezer than Gideon Ofnir
Not gonna lie, I had been turning up my nose at Ansbach for the entire DLC (even if Mohg beat the allegations, he was still a horrible monster) but he won me over with that plea: Reject divinity, return to mankind. Become a secular Elden Lord.
@@GrahamChapman Ansbach's honor might reflect on what was Mohg's dynasty looked like before he was charmed.
@@nemesis2345Ansbach the all learning
@@froilanflorentino1252 Yeah, no, I _seriously_ doubt that. The fact that Ansbach was a "Pureblood Knight" should clue you in on both where his honour came from _and_ why he'd give 100% of his support to a sadomasochistic goddess of blood-worshipping demon. It's better to think of him as FromSoft's take on a Rudolf von Stroheim-type character: A man with good traits, sure. A man you can't help but want to tip your hat to at the end of things. Still a true-believing nazi tho.
Seriously, why do people have such an aversion to character depth? And I'm not talking about the childish "this character isn't evil, he's just misunderstood and stuff once you get to know him" variety. Rather, why does it all have to be "Mohg was a horrible monster who surrounded himself with nothing but sadists and murderers" or "Akshually, going by Ansbach, Mohg was probably an honourable Lord-to-be who surrounded himself with scholars and philanthropists"? Why are people so averse to "Mohg was a horrible monster who, true to form as an aspiring lord of a dynasty, surrounded himself with elitists, scholars, and men of honour, people in whose company he'd feel superior to the drabble, yet _who were also_ all sadists and/or murderers"? 'Cuz, y'know, going by all the other people enchanted by Miquella, there's literally no reason to believe that Mohg would've become _more_ violent and unhinged post exposure to the let's-live-in-peace-and-harmony brainwashing.
For all we know, the Mohg we're familiar with could've been uncharacteristically docile.
The Promised Consort theme is actually Starscourge Radahn's second phase but more emphasizing as if it's he's in his prime time.
It feels more like a heroic showdown between two equals
@@Dylan-kv1eefr. As the track continues, the music picks up, it’s like you’re unlocking more of the song, the same way you unlock more and more of this insanity. It’s a masterpiece of a boss fight.
its his second phase combined with Godfreys ost
Really makes the original Starscourge theme sound decrepit and "rotted" now that we hear the same song but restored to it's former glory in a way
miquella singing part is PEAK
Timestamp?
@@kidhipsterx9492 8:43
Can't believe how well it still mixes with the Radahn part. It's like the Elden Beast boss fight except with soundtrack, how can two individually fantastic pieces fit so well together
FUCK. Now I'm imagining that it's literally Miquella singing the second phase music. As if Miquella's flashbangs aren't distracting enough, now I have to combat this mental image WHILE FIGHTING PRIME RADAHN!?!
genuinely my favorite piece of music in this entire game. every attempt at the boss was worth it because i got to hear this banger every time
hmm , my favorite ost from the game is fortissax theme
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519This is much better imo
Same dude same. This theme SLAPS. Both the phases are godsent.
@@MobyDrip well in my opinion fortissax theme is better than both themes for radhan consort .
Literally me with Gael in DS3 hahaha
Ansbach, you died a true Hero. Defended your masters dignity. Defended every being in the Lands Between from a mindless state of bliss, but mere puppets. Thank you for your guidance.
I mean, Ansbach also helped Mohg to kill finger maidens, kidnap surgeons, and tortured people to the point they became ruined and groveling blood zombies...
Ansbach's ideal world would be sadistic blood lake for his Lord. Mohg is not a good person and worships literal Outer God of pain and suffering.
If you have to choose whom to inherit Lands Between, rather Miquella than Mohg.
Im happy to hear that theme longer than 10 seconds
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes
Ten seconds? Well, at least you survived the first attack....I only got to hear three.
I'm happy to fight Radhan but damn mf is strong
lol😂
Let me guess, cross slash?
I need to see this performed by a live orchestra. This is so good.
No shit the DLC should be nominated for game of the year, it’s the best thing that’s come out even if it as DLC. I would scream if this was played at the game awards by their orchestra
The part starting at 9:05 is really so good. I was so disheartened when I realized that the OST doesn't have a longer version of it.
I like it so much that I am going to write to the music composer praising it.
It's so epic i love it!
I got chills when I realized its the trailer song
@@agony6919 Only Miyazaki can pull this off. First Teaser of Elden Ring had Marika and Radagon.
It is better than any of the Oscar music winners including Gladiator's.
That’s my favorite part!
This is one of the most cinematic soundtracks I have ever heard.
Griffith's lust over Guts knows no end... Mitsubishi san...
Toshiba kun
Brain rot
Holy shit that's exactly what its in reference to.
Who the f is Mitsubishi, Alan Smith
Justice for Mogh man
That's where the furious blade of Ansbach comes in.
Didn’t Mohg also kidnap people ☠️
@@Ir1della Varre and the other white masks I believe.
@@Ir1dellabut we don't know if it was pre or post Miquellestation as all the other bloody fingers joined of their own free will
@@Ir1dellaAnsbach seems like a good guy, I think that it is post Miquella charming him that he became so depraved
This boss and the associated lore is controversial with a lot of people but i personally love it. The fight while challenging is spectacular and Miquella being revealed to be a more flawed and complex character was a good addition.
Also this music SLAPS
All that lore buildup behind miquella in the main game not included and didnt even mentioned of them. After all those trailers, i was expecting a great questline about him or directly from him, or at least some dialogue with him that can maybe change the ending of the dlc and makes us learn more about characters who were close to him.
Fighting radahn again was a great dissappointment for me, and even if it was a surprise for me to see him i rolled my eyes unintentionally bc i was waiting something more exciting or maybe creative.
The main game made some people and me expect more from Miquella, not seeing him on the shoulders of a known boss for a short cutscene and only the second phase of that boss, and people were right, for he was the most mysterious character all the time.
@@slozbecky look up some of the datamine content leaks, the DLC got HEAVILY REWRITE (dark souls 3 again)
for some example, miquella in base game got heavily hype up to be some anti outer gods weapon and presumably the most "human" demigod out there that genuienly cared about the common people. but we got?
incest for some fricking reason and ZERO MENTION OF MALENIA and why did he sent malenia to fight radhan to say "your consort is waiting for you" and THEN ABADONED HER FOR ?????????, remember the whole character of miquella is about trying to cure his sister from the rot and the main reason why he created the haligtree, but in the DLC, ZERO MENTION WHATS THE FINAL PURPOSE OF THE HALIGTREE, ABADONED MALENIA AND THEN LET FINLAY CARRY ALL THE WAY FROM CAELID TO HALIGTREE JUST SO HE CAN HAVE GAY INCEST SEGS WITH RADAHN???????
I have never seen such a character assasination as bad as miquella, not to mention the prutric knight was originally called Gloam queen knights, metyr having GEQ symbol on its eyes and all the gloam stuff in multiple different armours description, this WAS the GEQ expansion but got cut for some reason???
the only good thing about this DLC is the dragon civil war, GEQ was an elden lord at one point, the lands between before the erdtree was the actually the afterlife ruled by an ancient unnamed death god (hence the fuck ton of death bird rites), marika home town, greater will confirmed to be a much higher being, confirming the BEST ending is indeed goldmask not ranni as previously thought, ranni is a yandere and shabiri kinda proven right
@@RobuxTix GoT season 8 all over again. Poor miquella had such a wasted potential. It is just funny when you think about it, when we look miyazakis lore writing in previous titles, it feels like he didnt took part in dlc's lore lmao. Geq didnt mentioned, godskins didnt, Malenia and Haligtree and other many things didnt mentioned, its like a joke. Now i only know that Miquella wants to sleep with radahn since the start. I think im losing it.
Also, i saw some tweets that saying miquella was to return to his sister after his ascension to godhood, but im not sure what is the source of it.
@@RobuxTixDo you have any corroborating evidence to back your words up?
@@slozbecky the miquella curing his sister after godhood is pure headcanon although probally the most accurate too because leaving malenia alone for (persumably) thousands of years after nuking caelid is dumb, literally undercuting finlay sacrifice and Out-of-character for miquella after created so much for her to cure her sickness to just leave her alone to then mind control mohg to kidnap himself just so he could go the shadow realm and have homo segs with radhan who consent AFTER getting mind controlled
for who to blame for the shit radhan-miquella lore, i think grrm the most cause remember there was some interview back in january this year, that miyazaki explained that all the new story is based on unused grrm lore that couldnt be fit in, and i HEAVILY SUSPECT miquella is gay for radahn because he was nice to him when they were little STINKS grrm, i dont believe miyazaki planned radhan to be the final boss too, there must be some heavy revision midway in the DLC development cycle based on the fact that some areas are just straight up empty unlike base game which has always some secret path or message here and there
Just the first few notes that introduce the main motif are so powerful. You see his sillhouette, and if you hadn't been paying any attention at all, you get shocked into realizing you're about to face THE Radahn of legend. Not the mind-broken dog of a man, crawling through the desert eating rotten corpses. This is Him.
And he Hates you.
Yeah reading the lore you learn that Miquella chose him and him alone because of his strength and his kindness. Despite that strength when he reached his prime Radahn never killed any of his siblings for their runes, he may have fought them but he always let them live. Even vs Malenia he chose to cut her fake arm off. So the fact that at this point you have literally killed his whole family minus his half brother, mother and sister? He probably does hate you.
@@Spenfinitei doubt that as this isn't truly Radahn as it's soul trapped in Mohg's boddy controled by Miquella.
True Radahn wouldn't hate you he would be proud to stand against great warrior who rose from someone of none renown to slayer of demigods, he wouldn't hate you for killing demigods as you did that in honorable duel and you most likely are consort of Ranni so his sister/brother in law
I don’t believe this is the strongest version of radahn. We fight a younger version who has not yet become “ the scourge of the stars”. I imagine fighting bosses like radahn, Godfrey, godwyn, and maliketh in their prime would be an impossible fight.
@@c_y_a_9081 He has no great runes here, and this is a recreation of him from before he grew and later got stronger. His prime is when he fought Malenia, he was weaker before that.
I don't know if its better or worse knowing that the red lion supposedly had a kind and gentle soul, but was called to battle without end all the same. Not a happy life.
At first, I wasn't impressed with Radahn's return, but now we have an opportunity to truly liberate him from the machinations of "compassion." The Shattering War truly did reveal the ambitions of the Demi-Gods, and it left me empathizing for Malenia, Mohg & Radahn more than Miquella the "Kind," who so easily manipulated his siblings like pawns on a chessboard. Miquella really did follow in his mother's footsteps, allowing tragedy to turn his heart cold to the plight of a world trapped in a bloody cycle. His efforts to resurrect Godwyn & heal Malenia, cast aside for the sake of enthralling everyone. Rest well, Red Lion, the Age of Stars your sister brought about will herald a chilled moonlight that'll outshine even the brightest tint of gold.
i really thought with the castle Sol lore that miquella was trying to bring godwyn back to be his consort. was he already in the shadowlands at the divine gate at that point? radahn is a really cool choice it just confused me when that ghost implied he was trying to ressurect godwyn, only for him to ultimately ressurect radahn instead.
@@pyrelord8763Miquella's efforts of love and kindness all effectively failed. He couldn't save his sister from rot. He couldn't bring his brother back. Radahn was effectively turned braindead fighting Malenia. His Magnum Opus, the Haligtree, failed. In the end he figured all that love was for nothing, and decided that he needed the power to mold the world as he wanted. The cost of that was being able to turn a blind eye to the plight of the world so he could remake it.
Age of stars lol
Nah fam
LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD
@@pyrelord8763you can’t bring Godwyn back. His soul was destroyed. If you can do that then any death means literally nothing, Godwyn’s death wasn’t even salvageable by Marika. Godwyn was killed by true death.
@@pyrelord8763Miquella's plan was to charm Malenia, have her kill Radahn, help Ranni in her plan to kill Godwin and be free, take Radahn's soul from the suppressing pillar, and bring back Radahn in Godwin's body to be his consort. His plan ended up changing a little though.
Stand proud Tarnished, you came here before the nerf
I beat him (pre nerf) using my mimic, soooooo
@@El_Shamongus L
My favorite Elden Ring character, now in his prime, and with no Scarlet Rot holding him back.
Behold the Warrior, the General, the Demigod, who conquered the stars.
Behold the son of Radagon.
Behold, *The Red Lion*
*AND HIS BROKEN HITBOXES*
Its devastating that Radahn is once again out of his own control, but goddamn if he isnt a beauty to behold in fighting form
People keep going on about how amazing phase 2 is. But what sent chills up my spine was phase 1. First time I fought this boss, I was just in awe. So much so, I couldn't even attack. I just wanted to take in the fact that, they actually brought back Radahn.
This guy gets it. Phase 1 just feels metal but ethereal. Phase one is heavenly hard.
I know people don't like the lore of it but as a Radahn glazer (along with Miyazaki who's a Radahn glazer himself) I appreciate the decision to bring him back more powerful than ever.
I think down the line as Elden Ring ages more people will come to appreciate the return of Radahn.
No one is saying phase 2 is amazing 😅
Ever since I fought Radahn at the festival, I've had this growing desire inside of me to witness the power the Starscourge once held in all its greatness. This fight, to me, was it. Sure, bringing back Godwyn would have been cool, but I've been waiting to see Radahn's full power since I started the fucking game x)
That was the coldest boss intro ever
The first phase theme is triumphant, it's regal, it's a theme to herald the return of Radahn. You're the first he has seen in his return and whom better to face him than one of the few in the festival that bested him at last.
The first phase is a true grudge match in his eyes and he faces you man to man. Although it's not his body, it's most certainly his mind and soul and although he is silent, you know he's eager to face you once more.
I doubt this version of Radahn is very aware, hes under Miquella's charm so I think hes fighting us more out of a need to protect Miquella from what can be seen as a threat
After defeating his first phase and you see Radahn stumbling down, there's a moment where his red aura starts seeping out as if he's regaining control of himself, but then Miquella appears and puts that down with his own golden aura.
Why do you think that Miquella, who charms people by embracing them, is constantly embracing Radahn? To keep him under control.
“A crown is warranted with strength.”
Mimic Tear: You did it, Master...
Tarnished: I did it?
Ansbach: They did it.
Well my Mimic Tear joined Miquella halfway in so I had to do that crap alone.
2:08
I have never felt more complete in this game than in the moment where Radahn and I clashed sword-to-sword with this playing.
As i understood it... I felt it like a duty to release Radhan from the spell.
A mercy kill to my general is needed unfortunately
@@GeneralRadahn7987 "General Radahn. A pleasure to see you, after all this time. But those remains do not belong to you. Lord Mohg will have his dignity." goes so fucking hard
@@interloper9589 it does iwl,I still don't think Radahn was fully into this plan,more bring controlled like a puppet
I wish we could’ve convinced Freyja that by ‘reviving’ Radahn he won’t get his honorable death he got at the festival, and that he’ll be just a puppet, so she can help save her General
@@Hma-q2gWell she says that he's more suited to fight everlasting war. She even says that Jerren will be upset about it.
the choir kicking in on second phase just hits different man. the best part about the fight.
I'm so glad i wasn't spoiled about Radahn. When i saw him i was like holy shit its Radahn and then he rolled me lol
i managed to kill them with only like a tiny bit of health left right as 10:14 played. the dopamine was insane
Crazy how Radahn got to become "Godfrey's son" in the worst way imaginable
He became Godfrey, in a way.
This resonates in my ears for more than 24 hours as I’m stuck in phase one
9:20 this part has no right going this HARD
Had Miquella and Radahn joined forces out of the free will of both of them, they might've brought about an age as close to perfection within the order as possible. Compassion, honor and dignity as principles of their rule. However, Miquella casting away his love to fulfill this goal turned it all into a dreadful abomination. I literally fought back tears welling up in my eyes when I reached that cross and realized the implication.
Yeah Miquella became a prime example of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" ..he sacrificed so much of himself that he cast away parts that he should never have. I had the same feeling as you on that cross and theres even a ghost nearby who said casting out his love was a fatal mistake.
Radahn would have never joined forces with him if he had free will. Miquella even used her own sister Malenia. He is just terrible.
The build up, reveal, and implications of St Trina was honestly the high point of the dlc for me. I found the barrier early on and thought "what could Miquella have possibly wanted to hide away so badly that he sealed a cave at the bottom of a crater in this hidden area?"
He was rotten through even before arriving to Land of Shadow. Remember, he sent Malenia after Radahn before he went there. The plan to kill his brother and take away his will in death was in motion before Miquella started shedding of parts of himself, and the latter hardly helped.
I never made the connection that throwing away his love is both in reference to the noun AND verb. Incredible
the music when fighting this boss is probably my favorite in elden ring
2022: Radahn is such a great boss, I wish we can fight him in his prime.
2024:
I think so far, Lawrence was my favorite theme in Soulsborne. But now…my god this theme. Especially the first phase. The raw power. That feeling of two champions fighting at the edge of the world (it is, after all, Enir Illim is where Elden Ring’s story started).
Second phase is great, but that first phase is *something else*
3000% agree with you.
Miquella's singing at 8:25 is so good, I love the way they layered it over itself a bit to give it some reverb almost
Also I LOVE the instruments being played at 10:13 and 10:19. I can't tell if it's an electric piano, or something else, but combined with the drums, cello, and horns/trumpets it is beyond amazing!
Im just happy we get to see Rahdan at his peak PRIME....before the rot consumed his mind and turned him into a monster
I believe this is young radahn and not pre bloom, size difference shows it
This is neither prime Radahn nor young Radahn, it is Radahn's soul revived in Mogh's body@@thespookysir4485
Well Radahn's mind is controlled by Miquella though lol
this isnt even prime radahn, at this point in his mind, he hasnt even conquered the stars yet
@@MrTavrosNitram And he doesn't even have Leonard, instead they had to make Commander Gaius, one of the shittiest bosses in the game.
Radahn is the definition of “Aura”🥶
1:31 is the BEST part of this song
YES!!
2:12 is also great
1:15 hits every time
wait, you mean emotionally or an attack?
God damn when the crescendo reaches it's peak at 2:25 onward 🔥
2nd phase song is top 3 across all Soulsborne OSTs. Amazing.
1rst phase ost is peak
I come here for PTSD
The little pieces of Mohgs OST in this are amazing 😮
*_"Sir Miquella the kind... Is a monster..." - Ansback, my beloved..._*
Fighting Radahn back when the OG game just came out(before the excruciating nerf they did to him, bloody butchered the fight for tourists) was the best 3 hours I ever had doing a boss battle in any game. I never felt any other boss battle was this epic. Now that I got SOTE and am redoing the whole game, stumbling upon this made me really stoked again to fight him. With my new play through the Caelid Radahn fight is a walk in the park for me, but hearing that SOTE is tough and does not cater to tourists, I'm really looking forward too battle him once more. For Glory! For DEATH!
They just nerfed him.
too bad they nerfed him just as u made this comment lol
@@amari2509 not *again* .... damn its like they hate Radahn
Its bittersweet, we deny miquellas full ascension and can resist his spell to set him free but prevent the age of compassion. And to save the lands between and all men
Why I am crying? Best ost that ever fromsoftware made, omg
I agree, it’s divine
The only songs that are even in the same realm of a banger of this are Gael's and Ludwig's themes
I think bayle the dreads theme is in that class personally
@@pookiegaming75 yk, fair, I wasn't paying attention to that much and was just focusing, I really should go back and listen to that here on UA-cam!
Update- you were absolutely right holy damn
If we're including base game stuff as well, I gotta give a shout-out to Godrick phase 1 and both of Fortissax's phases.
Dude Radagon's theme is sick too
Maliketh's is also peak
"I was born a Champion's Cub. Now I am the Lord of the Battlefield's Lion. Radahn, Elden Lord
01:23 and 2:25 soo good
HEART STOLEN
I've listened to this song more than anything else... here's to the hardest boss of all time
"Oh dear brother, I am on my way. My brother, unyielding sword of Lothric's Prince. Rise, if you would, for that is our curse."
First off, holy crap what a banger!!
Second off, Miquella’s story I think revolves around a core theme of violation of consent. Every single NPC in the Shadow of the Erdtree is charmed against their will (except maybe Leda?). Their motives, desires and autonomy turned into string cheese through Miquella’s power. I enjoy that in the memory we see after the battle, there is a memory where Miquella commands Radahn to be his consort, yet we never hear Radahn’s thoughts EVER on this. Largely because to Miquella, his agency is unimportant and ultimately irrelevant. The new order of Unalloyed Gold Miquella intends to establish would mean the end of free will, consent and agency for EVERYONE forever. Facing him at the very precipice of the Divine, we realize that the Order he would establish to replace his Mother’s Golden Order of exclusion and genocide will be predicated on a complete loss of freedom for all peoples everywhere. Essentially just as bad as Marika’s Golden Order.
And so, he must be put down along with the monster he made by violating the consent of Mohg, Radahn and possibly even his own sister Malenia. Every ounce of loyalty shown to him throughout this story is now suspect.
I think it fits his narrative too since his curse is eternal youth and it’s a very “childish” thought process to literally FORCE everyone in the world to get along by essentially magic force, violating the consent and agency of every living soul in the Realm of Shadow and the Lands Between. This is probably the best fight thematically we could have been given and I love every ounce of it! (Except that fucking frame-trapping triple slash shit he does)
Edit: it did just get patched, thank god
Leda was charmed which actually made her less loyal technically lol, because when she wasn't she began trying to kill people who werent loyal enough
@@velvetdraws3452 yeaaaaah Leda has a few screws loose on her own lol
Anyone notice how the 1st Phase has a LOT of similar elements, even note patterns, to Godskin Duo?! It's quite telling, considering they're both wearing the skins/bodies of another in battle! Lore inside of Lore lol
It almost sounds like in the second phase that angelic singing is supposed to be Miquella trying to overshadow the powerful music underneath it, almost like how he is trying to cover up all the suffering he has caused with his age of compassion
I cant believe Miquella told Cosby to spike his drink.
Miquella really did the whole Booty Warrior “I like ya, and I want ya…” song and dance with his own little brother, huh?
Yes, “little” brother, as it’s implied that _Radahn_ might actually the youngest of the demigods in actual age.
WTF Miquella. The Miquella allegations are crazy af
wait how come?
Radagon left rennala to marry Marika shouldn't Miquella and Malenia be the youngest?
@@bazokarpg1999
…
You know what, I think I DID get it mixed up. I think he might have “just” been the youngest between Rennala and Radagon.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire I believe you're right about Rennala's children but overall, I think Miquella and Malenia would both be the youngest, since they're twins.
It seems a lot like the Ancient Greek gods and their “parentage,” there’s incest that isn’t really incest because none of them were really “born” in a normal way.
9:14 This is the most beautiful thing my ears have ever heard.
Hell yes
“I was born a Champion’s cub. But now i am the Lord of The Battlefield’s Lion.”
No one seems to notice the choir chanting "Marika eternaa" at 9:01
Sounds so imperial and godly suits perfectly the two characters
I get chills listening to this. EPIC
Say what you want about the difficulty of the game, but love it or hate it, the second you reach virtually any main boss fight… haters and fans alike can come together to agree: that the bossfight soundtracks HIT. No other game track compares to a Miyazaki & Team experience.
SLIDE FOR MOHG ✊
SLIDE FOR RADAHN ✊
The most memorable boss fight forever, felt like a king when I won after dying twenty times
This theme genuinely moves me to tears. The first time I won this fight I felt as though the DLC ending was missing something, but after a few replays I just started to feel that this was the perfect sendoff. The music, the visuals, the tragedy of Miquella's quest, it all comes together in an ending that is somehow simultaneously epic, beautiful, and profoundly sad.

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Ganondorf
thank god im not the only fucking one to think this fucker looks like super saiyan 3 ganondorf ffs
Can’t believe people are saying they would rather fight Godwyn, Radahn has been stated to be the greatest of all demigods, multiple characters idolize him, if we didn’t get to fight this guy then how would we ever know we were the strongest? Godwyn isn’t even a character, he is more a plot event.
plus godwyn is also literally dead. because of destined death. fully dead. gone.
As much id love to see something of Godwyn it doesn’t make any sense to fight him or him to be alive. Dude literally had his soul obliterated and now only his body infects the lands between. Again his tragedy is more for the story itself rather than a boss fight.
As far as lore goes, Godwyn can only be a boss fight in body than in soul. Godwyn's body remains, and is constantly "growing" IIRC.
And if Radahn's soul can be put in Mohg's husk, wonder if the same can happen with Godwyn's body?
@@Kanaleah why would you want to tho? His body is full of deathblight, as far as I am concerned if you put anyone in there they did immediately
@@Kanaleah if u complete Fias questline and then attack her, the death rune starts attacking you in order to protect Fia, she also says ''Godwyn is that you''. i believe his mind is alive but soul is gone.
The last 2 minutes or so is some of the best music I have ever heard.
I honestly need this to be even LONGER. Really good blend from phase 1 to 2. And the looping of phase 2 is chefs kiss
As soon as i heard lyrics i knew it would be a Long fight
first reaction: "Is that?... No fucking way dude, I am about to get my ass kicked."
On that night I got my ass handed to me 57 separate times by one Gigachad and his backpack Femboy.
Used in life to hold back the stars, used after death to usher in someone else's dream. I'm glad Radahn can finally rest
Epicness at its core🌋🧨🫡
As of this moment, I finished the dlc. Since I was ng7, I had a hard time fighting bosses and sometimes I died in one hit. Sometimes I cursed a lot xD but I had a lot of fun and I know that a game like this will never come again, I had a great time. I will keep this game in the most special place. Thank you Elden Ring
Not gonna lie I would pay another 30 for a new elden ring dlc in a few years
Listening to this ost while reading the comments is Peak
The 1st part of the ost is the most accurate song for a General, its like an anthem for when Radahn arrives
Had to look this up because I was too busy getting constantly blinded by miquellas light for the 100th time in a row so I couldn’t listen properly
The strings in phase 2 🤌🏽
this OST will forever haunting me
10:14 gave me chills… This kicked in when he was down to 10% HP, Ansbach and Thollier were dead, I was out of both flasks, and I knew I was going to have to somehow get gud for 30 seconds to defeat the god and his lord. The whole fight during this small window was the most beautiful experience I’ve had in any fromsoft game…
“AYY THE BIG MANS BACK”
Man the ticks and pops in this recording are rough, every second I hear it on headphones
6:40 OMG
One of the best boss themes I’ve ever heard, so sick!
Thank you fellow tarnished 🙏🏾🤘🏾🔥
The theme of me fighting him alone for like 10 minutes and 2 other people watching while getting hit by every aoe attack and ultimately being turned to dust by the meteorite... Classic, i love it
It's not like I haven't heard this for 6 hours... but it still slaps :D
9:15 and on is pure cinema
Nobody asked them to go so hard on this theme, but they did. Thank God, they did.
Radahn really is the most tragic of characters in Elden ring nice to see him in his prime though.
"My loyal blade, and champion of the festival. Both of your deeds shall ever be praised in song. Now, the sacred vow will be honored, and my lord brother's soul returned."
I love how this is a remix of 2nd phase Starscourge Radahn. I noticed right away and was like 😮
