That's exactly what it is, a funeral for a general, and a god. It's not a fight we're doing, it's a funeral, and Radahn's dying the way he's always wanted to: in battle. It's just unfortunate that he's no longer sane enough to be able to cherish his last dying moments as a warrior and a soldier.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I like to think the themes tone shifting along implies that he's regaining a bit more of his otherwise clouded senses. I think this is shown how in the first phase the main gravity spells he does are pulls and slams and making his swords have rocks Whereas in the second phase he uses all sorts of tactical and Complex spells as if he's regained a bit of his focus. Maney the stars started falling when radahn fell like a star And he just had pushed then back that far away even while rotten and dogged.
@@IamSnehan Pfft. A loving brother who for a lie causes a genicide? I stay with the one who defended his brothers and resisted, despite his inferiority. Malenia is a deranged loser, and Radahn was only defeated by scarlett rot. Margit is more charismatic if you know him, but he seems like a radical of order and I don't like that either. Ranni and Radahn seems to me the best.
Radhan defeated Melania but lost to Rot. Rot is the outter goddess who stumbled upon the lands in between after the greater will left. From Gowry, it seems Rot was a neutral and innocent outter being but for some reason she grew attached to Melania. She became infused with Melania. This is similar to Mogwyn. Mogwyn had no interest in the emperyans. He wanted to create his own society. But if you read all the item descriptions related to the blood goddess and Miquella it seems Miquella has a dark secret. His charm affect is probably what drove Mogwyn insane and his dynasty became an army for Miquella. As far as Melania goes she probably became his slave. Her devotion seems oddly weird. And the part about there’s no cure to rot is pure bull crap. Because the cure to rot was invented long ago by the giants through a miracle that cleansed rot from the body, mind and soul. So her complete reliance on Miquella makes no sense unless she was compelled to be his blade no matter what. And just like the blood mother helping Mogh, I believe Rot did the same with Melania. That explains why milicient is trying to help Melania in a way because milicient is actually a product or a child of rot. Gowry in the other hand wants Rot to bloom for the third and final time since the second time was against Radhan. Radhan beat Melania but he had no outter god like Melania to fight with, he only had himself. Radhan beat Melania but he could not best Rot. We do. Melanias second phase is Rot. We beat Rot. And make sure she never blooms again and ends the world. But even in death she remains a slave to Miquella.
Radahn is the only good demigod. Ranni commited treason and led to the night of black knives. Malenia only fought Radahn for his great rune which has nothing to do with searching for miquella. Morgott may protect the erdtree although the greater will and marika have bad intents for the lands between (atleast imo). Mohg stole Miquella to recreate the world with his own outer god. Rykard was obsessed with immortality. While Radahn was doing everything in his power to hold the stars back to save the lands between from dangers like more manifestations of astel or fallingstar beasts
Honestly he'd be the only Demi god who we could beat but choose to spare, to make as an NPC ally, that'd be great if he were the siegmyer of elden ring
From some of his lore, like the whole learning magic for his horse thing and such, Radahn kinda gives me seigward/seigmeyer vibes, like if you were on his side in his downtime he would just light up any room he could fit in lmao
One fought for his homeland and loyal companion, fending off the very stars and the horrors from the Void One fought for the sake of her beloved brother, to lift the curse of a cruel destiny, even if it meant forsaking her own self Reddit doesn't understand shit. Radhan and Malenia are the the greatest warriors to ever walk the Lands Between since Godfrey. If it werent for the circumstances, I believe they would have made the fiercest of friends
@@Ceannadach During a time, probably. In the intro, there was a scuffle between the two, when Radahn was just the size of Morgoth, so I get why. Shattering pre-rot Radahn on the other hand is whole different animal
@@Ceannadach The entire debate is stupid, a lot of it is based off the Introduction sequence and headcanon. Gives me a headache everytime I see that shit. It's honestly similar to the GokuVSuperman nonsense except they basically have nothing solid to go off.
Been looking for a cut of this part online specifically. I actually get emotional listening to this song about a made up video game character, and I couldn't care less. It actually brings me tremendous joy and motivation listening to this as I think we all aspire to be the ultimate chad that Radahn was. RIP my general
It’s not hard to imagine his soldiers chanting this as they see your battle with him is at an end and he will finally be free of the rot. He may be a husk now but they remember and mourn the red lion general, the starscourge, the mighties of the demigods, General Radhan.
Listening to this like another lad said, I get emotional even though he's just a fictional character with zero dialogue, thinking of the great warrior he once was, and the even greater man/demi god he was, from the lore I do believe he was one of the most righteous and honorable of the Demi-gods. This is a funeral march, remembering this incredible leader and warrior in his final moments for what he was, it's not menacing or dominating like the first half, it's sad yet uplifting for all that he was, the warriors death he deserves and his rest that awaits him after suffering for so long, and holding back the stars all the while to protect his home even in his insanity and agony.
This is kinda sad, it's like because Radahn was the most feared demigod and was a great warrior and now your almost putting him down or putting him out of his misery
At least you're putting him down the way he would've wanted, a big festival featuring all the strongest champions of the lands between banding together to stop the scourge
He reminds me of artorias: 1-He has an animal friend that he will protect at all costs. 2-He was a cool guy and only fights us because he’s “corrupted”. 3-Both him and Artorias have a title because of a great feat they accomplished (defeating the stars/walking the abyss). 4-They both have a group of dedicated followers that stand by them/honor them even after their passing/corruption. 5-They both have an animal motif. To me it’s clear Radhan is the tragic hero of elden ring much like artorias was to dark souls. (Also much like artorias it’s a sad moment even though you never meet them before and they have no dialogue)
@@IamSnehan I say even malekith falls under the same category. Betrayed by his master yet still is duty bound. And prime malekith is not to be messed with. He will gut your ass if you cross him demigod or not.
For some reason Elden Ring's OSTs have these 2 minute long buildups to the absolutely epic parts, like Radahn's theme here, plus Fortissax, Maliketh, and Rykard. The problem is usually that the bosses die before these parts even get to play, so the OST didn't make much of an impact for the most part when I played the game, terrible shame.
Made an impact for me. I loved it. Felt triumphant in part one, second half was like putting my dog down. Crushed me but I was committed to winning and granting him death alongside my game allies
Imagine if in Radahn's 2nd phase the stars begin to move since he's now focusing everything on us, and the fight was actually long enough to last until this part of the OST in NG. Man what a spectacle, would probably top Rykard on my personal list
Same with Bloodborne. I remember playing for the first time, a bit overleveled. Then fought Living Failures and took a minute or so and the fight was over. A month or so after, I did a BL4 run and when i fought them again I just dropped my jaw how insanely good phase 2 OST was.
My friend I agree with you a 100%. That is why I keep them alive long enough to honor that epic part of the song. For Radhan I have him the highest honor: I waited for this part and used melania’s hammer weapon art as a sign of respect for the final hit. I cried literal tears after I did that. If I was with Radhan I would be his Finlay, and do whatever it took to honor him.
Yall in the comments saying how if he weren't all rotted, we wouldn't have to fight him. My dudes. He wanted to become elden Lord just like us. If we could cure him he would just beat the shit out of the tarnished just like Godfrey does. And that would've been glorious
you know when I was fighting him on second phase I could not focus on the music because I was dodging for my life but when I have repeated his phase 2 enough to properly dodge his attacks and start to hear the phase 2 music I felt why does the music so Heroic and Tragic at the same time and after reading his armor and some lores from his soldiers armors I feel bad for him and I get why his soldiers are so loyal to him his an awesome leader
this is unironaically one of those moments where i felt like i was truly IN THE GAME! Like i was there myself fighting against a literal god of combat, perfectly dodging every single attack, like a beautiful dance with death itself, and a choir in the backround cheering me on, wanting me to lay their general to his final rest. Truly a battle of legends. This was the moment that made Elden Ring my instant favourite of all time.
“No matter the goddess’s curse, You still fight on…you are the true hero.” The Star Scourge looked upto his mother the unshakable intelligence and love for her family. The star scourge looked upto his father, a source of confidence, a source of majesty. The star scourge looked upto Godfrey, a hero and a legend of the lands between, his home. The star scourge looked up to the universe and conquered it. But the star scourge never looked down at his very hands, the hands that belonged to a great intelligent man, a man with unbound majesty, unbound heroic greatness. Everyone he looked upto are too wrapped in their own misery to think about the simple fact: they were all looking to fill the void the greater will left behind. What if the greater will left because it knew the great Radhan was there. With Radhan why should it need to worry about anything at all?
Of all the foes that vied for the throne, Radahn was the only one who seemed like he was doing it for the good of the world. Rykard wanted immortality. Malenia did it cause she missed her brother. Mohg wished to remake the world in the name of his god. And as honerable as he is, Godfrey simply wanted to reclaim his lost status as king. Radahn meanwhile led his armies to war against the cosmos itself. He killed Astel and Falling Star Beasts for a living. He did all of it, because he loved his home, he loved his people.
@@Ζήνων-ζ1ι he was exiled, but not for bad reasons. Marika knew they would return stronger, and rebuild the Elden Ring after she shattered it. She was planning the whole thing all along, and the events of the game prove exactly that.
I wish it were possible to pick sides with the demigods, please FromSoft, make a prequel during the Shattering. I want to join the Redmanes. "Alas, dear home, I shan't see you again! For our duty is to remain here, a bulwark against the blight." I mean even his soldiers were absolute gigachads, I almost feel bad fighting them. (Redmane Knight Armour description)
I absolutely love this part of the song. It managaes to feel so epic that you are clashing against an incredible foe, while also being sad. It plays in phase 2 as you get ever closer to finally ending his suffering. After many attempts from champions at killing him he's finally gonna be put out of his misery. The song is almost a lament, reflecting on the incredible warrior he was, it's like a funeral march, knowing Radahn is finally going to die, and it's sad that the world's greatest warrior will fall, but it's bittersweet as he's being put out of his misery. You can hear in the lyrics of the most epic part amongst the random gibberish the word "Radahn," meaning it's clearly a lament of some sort. The music in souls games always gets me, and this has to be one of if not my favorite songs in all the souls OST
Thank you for doing this. This is so fucking heroic and badass, and I think the entire Radahn bossfight should have had an OST similar to this, because it would really suit lore-wise. Still, at least we had a 1.5 minute long piece of music like it, which you have turned into an hour. Thank you.
I made a character in game because of this Glorious man. Redmane Keru. spent 30 hours in game summoning for Radahn using only redmane soldier armor, a longsword and a shield. must have fought him over 100 times...this lives rent free in my mind. then when I was done. I leveled up. and marched my ass right into the Haligtree to kick Malenia's ass. thus was my character's story complete.
I'm mad that last part after the choir doesn't really always sound in game, as I am to the fact they didn't dedicate it specifcally for a death animation. Like fuck, I can imagine it with Radahn on his knees, looking at the sky the same way Gwyn/Soul of Cinder does, and I'd just cry like a bitch
You wrote that malenia was fromsoft favorite child, but I remember reading that Miyazaki's favorite boss is Radahn, even more than Godrick or Rykard that are more "bizarre" (he always loves those). Ofc he's not the whole company but still
That's cool I didn't know that. What I meant by "favourite child" was that Radahns bossfight was nerfed and Malenias wasn't, even though I only ever saw people complain about her.
Turns out navigating the Bosnian Florida turnpike to get hit by Radahn's CS:GO chicken sniper horse-poisebreak SRAAMs is easier than the lost Roman in Teutoburg forest experience™ Dark Ages Pict igloo getting to Malenia. Mystical spreadsheet adds up.
I've been using this to lift weights to become like Radhan one day hahahaha You've looped this so perfectly Thank you man EDIT dude, I’ve actually put on so much muscle at the time of making this comment, I feel fucking superb.

i knew someone had to have made this video i’m so glad it exists. the whole radahn ost is fantastic but this specific part just makes me feel insanely emotional
And then you learn that he was even more of a Giga Chad. And then you learn certain someone was a yandere all along and send his sister to kill Radahn only because he refuse to get brainwashed. Once again ... i didn't beat Malenia. I avenge the General. I didn't kill Miquella because of his plan but because he dare to make me go through fight Radahn again, and dare to call that "Radahn in his prime". CURSE YOU MIQUELLA!!!!! Curse you for make me go through it again ... to see the General like that. To learn it wasn't him but Mohg's body with the General's soul on it brainwashed by you dang femboy magic.
the phase 2 meteor drop is like all sky drop attacks for souls veterans... pretty easy to dodge.... but as is tradition with souls games, the phase 2 soundtrack always bumps so hard youre unable to focus on anything but that jumpin chant turnin up the arena
The lore says that the fight between Radahn and Malenia was a draw, but the question is, who fled from the battlefield and who stay ? The truth is that Radahn won the fight, Malenia fled defeated!
I do not care what anyone's said, Radahn pretty much defeated Malenia. Sure the Scarlet Rot still infected him? But even still he still held back the stars, while Malenia neglected her kin, and was pitifully dragged to the Haligtree by one of her own knights.
well he actually fought with her until her prosthetic fell off and he waited for her to put it back on AFTER LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR DAYS UPON DAYS WITH OTHERS ASWELL alll the while malenia was just chilling in the haligtree
I looped the version myself to use it as entrance theme for someone in WWE 2K22, but this huge video completed my work. If it was a bit confusing: Thanks a lot!
Alright, prime for prime what do you people think is the proper order of strongest to weakest demi-gods lorewise? This is what I think personally: 1. Radahn (Pre fight with Malenia, not holding back the stars) 2. Malenia (Goddess of Rot) 3. Rykard (Post being devoured by Serpent) 4. Mohg (Post Blood Ritual) 5. Morgott (Accursed Blood) 6. Godrick (Post Dragon Grafting) I feel like there are two major things that I should explain in depth: 1. Why I rate Prime Radahn unburdened by the stars above Malenia Goddess of Rot 2. Why Morgott ranks second weakest when he is an absolute monster in the lore and could probably unironically take on 5-10 Godricks alone. Well here's why: 1. People really, really underrate just how broken Radahn's control of gravity is. With the feats he's displayed there's quite literally nothing stopping him from just yeeting any enemy out into space or simply high enough that the fall back down would be lethal. If not that he could intensify your gravity to such a degree you'd be squished under your own weight. He doesn't do it because he's an honorable warrior but this isn't a "who would win" this is "who is the strongest/most powerful". 2. Morgott despite being an absolute unit who could likely destroy anyone not listed above him on this list (save for Godfrey, Fire Giant, and Maliketh) he has many problems that hold him back from being more powerful. -Morgott Problem #1: He hates himself and purposely locks away his true power (his accursed blood and related bloodflame techniques) until he's gravely wounded and can't hold it in anymore, meaning he's willingly fighting with one hand tied behind his back and is too ashamed of his powers to use them. -Morgott Problem #2: As a product of problem #1 he's inexperienced with using his accursed blood meaning he doesn't know how to make the most of it and what it's really capable of. This is why despite Morgott clearly being the better warrior over his brother Mohg I still consider Mohg more powerful because he embraces, understands, and fully utilizes his accursed blood to it's utmost potential. -Morgott Problem #3: He and Mohg were locked away in the sewers for an incredibly long time and were not afforded the same training or schooling the other demi-gods would've received from their parents and other sources so they had to train and learn on their own which is rarely as effective as being taught by a master. This hurts Morgott a hell of a lot worse than Mohg because Morgott chose the path of the warrior with weapons and martial prowess as his weapon while Mohg chose to embrace his natural power. So in conclusion despite being an absolute beast and a masterful warrior he simply does not stack up to the other Demi-Gods listed above him in my personal opinion.
Respects to the general! He got deranged by the lil bitch which only interest is for someone to bring her miquella while radahn is fucking stopping the beasts from the cosmos crash into the lands between. An unpopular opinion but lore wise radahn is the best demigod of all the demigods imo
Probably the most heroic theme of all promsoft games
Really?
I always had the idea of a funeral,
done by the soldiers to honor their general's last battle
@@واحد-م1ذ How that isnt heroic?

It sounds like a farewell.. anthem
Or at least that's how I see it
That's exactly what it is, a funeral for a general, and a god. It's not a fight we're doing, it's a funeral, and Radahn's dying the way he's always wanted to: in battle. It's just unfortunate that he's no longer sane enough to be able to cherish his last dying moments as a warrior and a soldier.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I like to think the themes tone shifting along implies that he's regaining a bit more of his otherwise clouded senses.

Everyone he looked upto are too wrapped in their own misery to think about the simple fact: they were all looking to fill the void the greater will left behind. What if the greater will left because it knew the great Radhan was there. With Radhan why should it need to worry about anything at all?
I listen this epic music on my way to work to get through a hard day
Right there with you on that.
Of all the foes that vied for the throne, Radahn was the only one who seemed like he was doing it for the good of the world.
Rykard wanted immortality.
Malenia did it cause she missed her brother.
Mohg wished to remake the world in the name of his god.
And as honerable as he is, Godfrey simply wanted to reclaim his lost status as king.
Radahn meanwhile led his armies to war against the cosmos itself. He killed Astel and Falling Star Beasts for a living. He did all of it, because he loved his home, he loved his people.
Radahn also did it because he saw the wickedness that his sister was capable of, he believed the Golden Order was right and fought to preserve it.
Godfrey fought on the war? Wasn't he exiled alongside the other tarnisheds?
@@Ζήνων-ζ1ι he was exiled, but not for bad reasons. Marika knew they would return stronger, and rebuild the Elden Ring after she shattered it. She was planning the whole thing all along, and the events of the game prove exactly that.
morgott as well
Real Starchad Hour
This is by far my favorite song in all of elden ring, thank you for cutting it, part one is great and all but phase 2 hits different for sure
Dude I actually started to cry 😭
His story is so sad...
I wish it were possible to pick sides with the demigods, please FromSoft, make a prequel during the Shattering. I want to join the Redmanes.
"Alas, dear home, I shan't see you again! For our duty is to remain here, a bulwark against the blight."
I mean even his soldiers were absolute gigachads, I almost feel bad fighting them. (Redmane Knight Armour description)
Might as well make an entirely new game based on the Shattering war, like holy shit. Radahn VS Morgott at the capital?? That'd be sick
@@wackywackster114 i wanna see who took down the dragon there too
I absolutely love this part of the song. It managaes to feel so epic that you are clashing against an incredible foe, while also being sad. It plays in phase 2 as you get ever closer to finally ending his suffering. After many attempts from champions at killing him he's finally gonna be put out of his misery. The song is almost a lament, reflecting on the incredible warrior he was, it's like a funeral march, knowing Radahn is finally going to die, and it's sad that the world's greatest warrior will fall, but it's bittersweet as he's being put out of his misery. You can hear in the lyrics of the most epic part amongst the random gibberish the word "Radahn," meaning it's clearly a lament of some sort. The music in souls games always gets me, and this has to be one of if not my favorite songs in all the souls OST
Thank you for doing this. This is so fucking heroic and badass, and I think the entire Radahn bossfight should have had an OST similar to this, because it would really suit lore-wise. Still, at least we had a 1.5 minute long piece of music like it, which you have turned into an hour. Thank you.
I made a character in game because of this Glorious man. Redmane Keru.
spent 30 hours in game summoning for Radahn using only redmane soldier armor, a longsword and a shield. must have fought him over 100 times...this lives rent free in my mind.
then when I was done. I leveled up. and marched my ass right into the Haligtree to kick Malenia's ass. thus was my character's story complete.
This version makes it even more sad, 🥲
I'm mad that last part after the choir doesn't really always sound in game, as I am to the fact they didn't dedicate it specifcally for a death animation. Like fuck, I can imagine it with Radahn on his knees, looking at the sky the same way Gwyn/Soul of Cinder does, and I'd just cry like a bitch
why so few views? From what I read in the comments of the whole OST, this part is a favorite among fans
You wrote that malenia was fromsoft favorite child, but I remember reading that Miyazaki's favorite boss is Radahn, even more than Godrick or Rykard that are more "bizarre" (he always loves those). Ofc he's not the whole company but still
That's cool I didn't know that. What I meant by "favourite child" was that Radahns bossfight was nerfed and Malenias wasn't, even though I only ever saw people complain about her.
Turns out navigating the Bosnian Florida turnpike to get hit by Radahn's CS:GO chicken sniper horse-poisebreak SRAAMs is easier than the lost Roman in Teutoburg forest experience™ Dark Ages Pict igloo getting to Malenia. Mystical spreadsheet adds up.
@@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537 bro what
General CHADahn
this is my favorite boss for his lore the fight and his boss music this game deserved that goty award
I've been using this to lift weights to become like Radhan one day hahahaha
You've looped this so perfectly
Thank you man
EDIT
dude, I’ve actually put on so much muscle at the time of making this comment, I feel fucking superb.
Like, for the first time in my life, I’ve been able to look at myself in the mirror and see muscles I didn’t know existed!
I was doing a squat to this, or maybe a push-up, and was about to fail. But right at the climax of this song repeated perfectly, I was able to push through.
This dude is a SAINT
I've been doing the same for the past few days 💪🏾

@@justinchalifoux4424 I love hearing results like this. It's wholesome knowing that something as simple as music can make us achieve awesome things. Keep it up brother I hope to get there too eventually 💪🏾
@@JayYoungs1992 We’re all gonna make it, brah 💪🏼
Level up that STR dude, you got this
Thanks bro I love this ost
This song reminds of me of Whitebeard dead yet standing
i knew someone had to have made this video i’m so glad it exists. the whole radahn ost is fantastic but this specific part just makes me feel insanely emotional
And then you learn that he was even more of a Giga Chad.
And then you learn certain someone was a yandere all along and send his sister to kill Radahn only because he refuse to get brainwashed.
Once again ... i didn't beat Malenia. I avenge the General. I didn't kill Miquella because of his plan but because he dare to make me go through fight Radahn again, and dare to call that "Radahn in his prime".
CURSE YOU MIQUELLA!!!!! Curse you for make me go through it again ... to see the General like that. To learn it wasn't him but Mohg's body with the General's soul on it brainwashed by you dang femboy magic.
I love this section of his theme so much that I kinda wish there’s a separate track dedicated to Radahn’s melody
You can really feel the love of his followers in this chant
the phase 2 meteor drop is like all sky drop attacks for souls veterans... pretty easy to dodge.... but as is tradition with souls games, the phase 2 soundtrack always bumps so hard youre unable to focus on anything but that jumpin chant turnin up the arena
Rip radahn
Thank you for this. Absolutely beautiful theme that sums the character up so well.
Now this is what I’m talking about! Thanks for making this!
Radahn wasn't evil, he was just insane from the scarlet rot
I still want two Elden Ring DLC's for malenia and radahn
man, this is so making me HYPE!!!
The lore says that the fight between Radahn and Malenia was a draw, but the question is, who fled from the battlefield and who stay ? The truth is that Radahn won the fight, Malenia fled defeated!
Great minds think alike
Such a beautfiul piece, even compared to famous chorus parts from opera (which is what I'm most familiar with).
I do not care what anyone's said, Radahn pretty much defeated Malenia. Sure the Scarlet Rot still infected him? But even still he still held back the stars, while Malenia neglected her kin, and was pitifully dragged to the Haligtree by one of her own knights.
well he actually fought with her until her prosthetic fell off and he waited for her to put it back on
AFTER LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR DAYS UPON DAYS WITH OTHERS ASWELL
alll the while malenia was just chilling in the haligtree
well im glad i got finnaly that clear audio
I looped the version myself to use it as entrance theme for someone in WWE 2K22, but this huge video completed my work. If it was a bit confusing:
Thanks a lot!
You are a hero. Thanks!
incredible
Nice, this is what I am looking for.
Alright, prime for prime what do you people think is the proper order of strongest to weakest demi-gods lorewise? This is what I think personally:
1. Radahn (Pre fight with Malenia, not holding back the stars)
2. Malenia (Goddess of Rot)
3. Rykard (Post being devoured by Serpent)
4. Mohg (Post Blood Ritual)
5. Morgott (Accursed Blood)
6. Godrick (Post Dragon Grafting)
I feel like there are two major things that I should explain in depth:
1. Why I rate Prime Radahn unburdened by the stars above Malenia Goddess of Rot
2. Why Morgott ranks second weakest when he is an absolute monster in the lore and could probably unironically take on 5-10 Godricks alone.
Well here's why:
1. People really, really underrate just how broken Radahn's control of gravity is. With the feats he's displayed there's quite literally nothing stopping him from just yeeting any enemy out into space or simply high enough that the fall back down would be lethal. If not that he could intensify your gravity to such a degree you'd be squished under your own weight. He doesn't do it because he's an honorable warrior but this isn't a "who would win" this is "who is the strongest/most powerful".
2. Morgott despite being an absolute unit who could likely destroy anyone not listed above him on this list (save for Godfrey, Fire Giant, and Maliketh) he has many problems that hold him back from being more powerful.
-Morgott Problem #1: He hates himself and purposely locks away his true power (his accursed blood and related bloodflame techniques) until he's gravely wounded and can't hold it in anymore, meaning he's willingly fighting with one hand tied behind his back and is too ashamed of his powers to use them.
-Morgott Problem #2: As a product of problem #1 he's inexperienced with using his accursed blood meaning he doesn't know how to make the most of it and what it's really capable of. This is why despite Morgott clearly being the better warrior over his brother Mohg I still consider Mohg more powerful because he embraces, understands, and fully utilizes his accursed blood to it's utmost potential.
-Morgott Problem #3: He and Mohg were locked away in the sewers for an incredibly long time and were not afforded the same training or schooling the other demi-gods would've received from their parents and other sources so they had to train and learn on their own which is rarely as effective as being taught by a master. This hurts Morgott a hell of a lot worse than Mohg because Morgott chose the path of the warrior with weapons and martial prowess as his weapon while Mohg chose to embrace his natural power.
So in conclusion despite being an absolute beast and a masterful warrior he simply does not stack up to the other Demi-Gods listed above him in my personal opinion.
Redmanechads, how do we feel about the DLC?
Berserk vibes
Berserk fans when they see literally anything:
EPIC! 🔥🔥
lift weights like radhan 💪
Tbf he lifted more than weights. Dude literally held whole ass stars
Ah yes, the song that plays every time I shit and then pull out the plunger
MANY THANKS!I love this part.
We’ll call it a draw
This account is spreading like the scarlet rot in Caelid
Thank you but can you do just 5 min 1hour is to mutch .
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/eMqEhNadgJM/w-d-xo.html
Need the Lyrics for this song
Respects to the general! He got deranged by the lil bitch which only interest is for someone to bring her miquella while radahn is fucking stopping the beasts from the cosmos crash into the lands between. An unpopular opinion but lore wise radahn is the best demigod of all the demigods imo
They love me.
Hey man, good job on this, would it be possible i could use some of this for an edit if i credit you?
Totally understand if your not cool with it.
Thanks! Sure go ahead :D
