And some might say its good that he stopped the stars,but Ranni's destiny is halted by this act,so is it definetly a good thing? Im not sure. Its arguable that Ranni's ending is good or not,but just like that its not just simply good that he stopped the stars. Not counting this,i have no clue why people think he was a good guy.

    One of the biggest bad ass factors of Radahn is that aside from letting Malenia put her arm back on, she was forced to use the power of an outer god just for it to be a draw. A draw that had her people carry her off the battlefield while he still stood and did all that star holding. On top of that he could have easily used his own powers to drop the stars on her if he chose and nuked the battlefield the same way she did, but he didn't. He was fighting with so many handicaps only for the woman who never knew defeat to only draw after relying on another god to win through non-combat ways.

      Radahn definitely won the fight. He was holding the stars and himself while fighting Malenia, and he let Malenia put her prosthetic arm back on before they continued fighting. Malenia literally stabbed herself just to do her ultimate move, which didn’t even kill Radhan. Malenia’s own move basically killed herself until some loyal soldier carried her all the way back to her home or whatever her arena is supposed to be. Also, I heard some people say that Malenia had an entire army with her too. I think it’s safe to say that Radhan is technically more powerful than Melenia.

    I feel like Radahn is having an internal struggle, between the Golden Order and the Carian royal family. What if he couldn’t choose which side he favored? Couldn’t choose between his parents.

      @playmsbk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +208

      I disagree. Radahn is a godfrey fanboy through and through, and also expresses pride in his father radagon by sporting the red mane. He's also a sorcerer, and a very powerful one, but he uses no carian sorceries whatsoever, in fact he was taught gravity sorcery in sellia by an alabaster lord, which is weird since he had the much better option of the most prestigious magic academy in the lands between.
      We know that radahn arrested the movement of the stars, thus sealing the fate of the carian family. We know that the carian royals were aware of the fate of the stars, and radahn was one of them. The telescope description states that "The fate once writ in the night skies had been fettered by the Golden Order". With these 3 pieces of information combined, we can safely say that radahn stopped the stars knowing that it would halt the carians' fate on the behalf of the golden order.
      There's also the fact that stopping the natural cycle of the stars and/or the fate they prescribe has no real adverse effect on the golden order or the greater will.

      @playmsbk - His fanboy for Godfrey is like having a favored Uncle whom he idolizes. That doesn’t necessarily indicate Radahn choosing a side, only shows his adoration for Godfrey as a warrior, not necessarily adoration as to the side Godfrey is on.
      One can have respect and adoration for someone who could be considered an enemy or has a polarizing viewpoint.

    Radahn is clearly one of the best bois. Even after being severely weakened he can still hold back the stars and use his magic to stay with his best friend. He’s also an honorable warrior (letting Malenia put her arm/weapon back on while just standing there menacingly). He was clearly an amazing general too because his warriors still feel the need to honor him and give him a warriors death so long after he lost himself

    I don't think Radahn was actually all that fond of The Golden Order, per se. He wars armor inspired by Godfrey, the warrior that preceded The Golden Order, and the First Tarnished, aka the first banished from The Golden Order.
    The Greater Will had a lengthy history of using the stars to punish The Lands Between, so although stopping the stars arrested the destiny of the Carian Royal Family, it may have also been a means of fighting to a stalemate, as he had family on both sides of the war. Hence his dual wielded swords.
    When Melania bloomed and unleashed the Scarlet Rot across Caelid, (some of?) Radahn's troops burnt their crestsoff their armor, as they wouldn't be returning home, but would instead remain to fight the Scarlet Rot.
    Additional context, I figure Morgott wouldn't regard him as a traitor if he'd been so allegiant.

      It was my understanding that Radahn took one of the great runes which is why caused him to grow so large. Which is why Morgott calls him a "traitor". Godfrey was originally Horah Loux the barbarian warrior. Once Marika made him her consort he was granted the title of Elden Lord and had to behave as such. So he put a lion on his back to keep his list for blood in check and this, created Godfrey. Waging war on the giants, dragons, stormveil and caria. Bringing in the age of the Erdtree and the Golden Order. Marika then banished Godfrey and had Radahn with Radagon

I dont think it caused the Growth because didnt Radahn get it after the shattering when they started to Fight for them? Aka when he Was already big? Im not 100% this Lore is way to wage from what we get in game overall which can be really frustrating.

    Correction about Ranni's endgame -
    She wants to get rid of the influence of outgods and allow the residents of the Lands Between to control their own fates and destinies without some outside meddling from beings like the Great Will, the Formless Mother, the Flame of Frenzy, etc. The Great Will was likely to choose Ranni as Queen Marika's successor, and Ranni didn't want anything to do with becoming the next God over the Lands Between. So she decided to go against her fate and actively plot against the Greater Will, the Golden Order and so on.
    Other than that, you pretty much got everything else spot on. Radahn loves his silly and loyal steed and wanted to protect the Lands Between from the horrors in the sky.

      Ranni’s whole character is to have others do her work, (black knife numen assassins for Godwyn, Godskins for you and Iji once your usefulness is over, you for Radahn, wolf shadow and Astel, Rykard for Maliketh) the Golden Order wasn’t able to stop rot or deathbirds, why should her darkmoon (which is another outer God) order be able to do so? She’ll just peace out and leave all the problems (of which several caused by her) unresolved, so that someone else has to pick up her slack, maybe kill you too at some point, like when she tried with the Godskin at the tower.
      Damn, at least Shabriri in all his evil actually helps you vs Godfrey. Her talks about freedom is also more smokescreen, the cuckoo knights are enslaved by the Carians and made to serve them against their own will, the entirety of the puppet business, alongside the creation of albinaurics as slave labour, is lost technology of the Nox, the Carians re-engineer to their wicked use.

    I'd kill to get a 6 hour series akin to arcane done by the castlevania crew. There is so much to explore with radahn's backstory. He already fits into a very well working trope of growing up with people he'll have to grow away from due to having to wake up to his godhood responsibilities. He idolizes godfrey but only after he awakens to his godly powers will he have turmoil about who and what he wants to be. He could be a brawny young man but with an underlying gifted intellect. He wanted to stay with his human soldiers and his horse leonard, but he's born gifted as a demigod and will grow larger, stronger and much different to his loyal men. At first he'll feel like his abilities are cheating and dishonorable in sparring but as his size starts to grow he'll have a more difficult time handicapping himself to make it a fair match. There is brilliant character tension there. He would deny it at first and dip his toes in gravity magic only to keep leonard around, but will have to channel his gifted intellect to absolutely master gravity magic, say farewell to his men and ascend to challenge the stars. His victory could come with the caveat of the stars wearing him down slightly and he would try and hide it to shoulder the responsibility. I think there is just as much room for exploration with Malenia's backstory as she was the blade to miquella who abandoned all hope from the erdtree when they figured out it couldn't cure malenia's rot, so he grew his own haligtree in elphael and tried to create a safe haven for those born with handicaps, be it the albinaurics or the misbegotten, or his own sister malenia.

So I'd agree on solaire (though he isn't even a mandatory fight), artorias (sif is just a dog. Only reason we care lore wise is just because of artorias), vendrick, Ivory king, Gael, nameless and Maria. Pretty much all the others are characters who caused the world to be as ruined as it was and not make moves to make amends (big eyes at you gwyn), characters you don't kill (Alsanna), or just a real doofus who, while I love, I don't respect (siegmier).

Full Tree Sentinel armor and +13 Spiked Caestus was all I had to fight him. Died a few times, but in the end, I won.

    For the "an age ago" thing, I think these events didn't happened long before our character showed up, a few years at most.
    Thops tells us that the academy closed their doors when the shattering happened, and he got stuck outside. The thing is that Thops is not old, is pretty clean (body and clothes), so he didn't spend much time outside of the academy.
    So the shattering and everything that went with it happened only a bit before we came in.

    Awesome video! Radahn is one of my favorite characters from any FS game at this point.
    I'd like to point out that Ranni isn't trying to just yeet and delete everything. The English translation of her ending was poorly translated and essentially what she wants to do is free the people of the Lands Between from the influence of the Outer Gods. She's essentially taking a stand against cosmic overlords and telling them to fuck off so people can direct their own destinies.

Radahn is literally holding back an entire meteor shower while fighting and malenia loved miquella so much he had more faith in him than her own self considering she has the power of the outter god of rot. Radahn was a sorcerer knight who apart of the golden order… both of them would have been way stronger if they were selfish

      they take the shape of human skulls if you look from far enough. It's still not quite certain exactly what they are, as they don't match one to one with the standart visual definition of scarlet rot. It could certainly be a reaction that the organic creatures be it the foliage, the animals and the draconics have to scarlet rot.

    • @Vini-zv3lr

      Those might just be the species born from Scarlet Rot. SR is an outer god (or at least the effect of one), and It seems to have an order around death, decay, and rebirth. Maybe after the rot eats all the trees, new life forms that thrive in the rot will rise from the mush, like the pests did, and one of those species is the scarlet fungus thing that we see (it fits as well, seing as fungi play a major role in decay and recycling of biomass).

    • @darkmastern2322
      @darkmastern2322 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the giant human skulls are from the war with the Giants that took place. We know there are still giants around, and the stronger they are the bigger they get what with the Fire Giant. So I think the skeletons we see are probably of the most powerful Giants that lived back in the day who were as big as kingdoms and were most likely felled by the powerful warriors long ago and their bodies left as trophies so to speak.

    I only know two things regarding Malenia vs Radahn
    1) the outer God of Rot was defeated by a blind dex user with the help of a minor spirit imported right over Japanese folklore, that’s bad, that’s very bad on a powerscaling meter for the God
    2) While the scarlet bloom has massive range, Radahn, even in a weakened state, is able to quickly jump and reach space, like he’s some kind of Kryptonian, while the scarlet bloom is a powerful gimmick, it is ultimately, just a gimmick that won’t work against someone that knows it, and if Radahn and Malenia were to fight again, there’s no way Malenia is winning this.
    Morgott or Godwyn though, that’s a different story 🤫
