Malenia is holding back the scarlet rot, which we know actively nerfs her. Not only that, her great rune is rendered useless by the rot. And that she either can’t or refuses to cast spells due to the rot. Meanwhile Radahn is a great rune empowered, spell slinging, sword swinging, 20ft giant. Hes basically at the height of his power during the fight, while Malenia is in a constant downward spiral.

3:26 Queen Marika destroyed the Elden Ring because she went mad. This madness was caused by the Empyrean Ranni stealing a fragment of death itself to make some magic knives & assassinating her firstborn son, Godwyn.
Was godwyn the first born? or the only demigod that didn't have an affliction? Near as I understand godwyn was the... "Golden Child" buh dum psh. But seriously I have a strong theory that marika was a sucessful jar saint hence why she is so many things and why her children are so screwed up, considering the jar saints are amalgamations of many life forms, if marika ascended from that practice would explain how she could be radagon and marika at the same time. Would also explain why the omen twins were born horny. Then again, might have just been the curse of the horn sent. Anyways, Marika obviously had a chip on her shoulder about the horn sent considering the treatment of omens and the... literal genocide she had Messmer commit, yet the hornsent also somehow felt betrayed by marika meaning that in some way or form she had been considered part of their culture despite being of numen/shamen orgin. Anyways got a bit sidetracked in my previous paragraph but what I meant to say is, with godwyn being the only child to come out "unblemished" his demise driving marika mad would make all the more sense given the context of her other kids and her history with the shadowlands.
@@svenstevenson2245Well Godwyn is probably the firstborn son of Godfrey at least, also it's implied Messmer and Melina might be more artificial creations than actual children of Marika going off Melina's dialogue.

@justjames391 how she rejects her body being taken by the royal where a blind Swordsman thought her to flow like water. And as her limbs and sight disappeared, she still remained undefeated. In her loyalty to her brother miquella, we may never know it she was charmed or not. But her remembrance shows that she is aware of his brother's enchantment. Basically, what I love about Malenia is that despite her circumstances of birth, she still strives and climbs to the top, following her pride, her beliefs, not some outer god who chose her to be it's vassal.
Although malenia got it worse curse-wise miquella got it worse life-wise malenia could just do whatever she want and everyone would be proud but miquella was essentially the slave-scribe for marika and radagon. He was basically Born a weak frail and small being that was forced to make spells and other things. He also made golden order spells for his father so he could become a golden order fundamentalist but was too small and weak. that made him go psychologically insane and started charming people to like him because he was so looked down upon for his curse. So when people still didn’t like him he was so obsessed with strength and becoming an adult and started his "evil" plan. Also malenia wasn’t a charmed she just loved him so much. Miquella was just so caught up in becoming like his mother and father he decided to do his plan. He wasn’t truly the villain just a depressed hero that lived long enough to see himself become evil. It still doesn't excuse the little femboys action tho.
He wasn't a scribe? It's explicitly stated he made spells for Radagon because he genuinely loved his father and Radagon even made a spell for him in return.
@@alfalldoot6715 I get your point. My point was miquella was attempting to be a fundamentalist but never was good enough to be which is what drove him to want to be perfect. Also I get how when I said "scribe" it didn’t make much sense. Just my bad wording for things 😅But he made loads of spells just trying to get his father to get him to be a fundamentalist. I made that commented this just to say miquella isn’t just some evil and manipulative person. He just genuinely had a hard life and I wanted to get the malenia simps to stop saying miquella was "Tricking" her. I understand your confusion and I know my Theory might be a tad stupid to some people. Have a good Christmas!
@@Royal-gl8rjFair but it's not like Fundamentalism is about being a large muscular warrior, it's a school of philosophy. Miquella left the philosophy because it didn't have the magic to cure Malenia, which makes sense because Fundamentalism is about conjoining things not separating them.
That's a theory I never thought of after seeing Miquella cut his own arm off to add to the tree, Gideon said something about Miquella embedding himself into the tree but thanks to the DLC he might have only used his arm to grow the tree, who knows if he used more it might have grown into a full complete tree, heck that might have been a way to divested his body but didn't think about that or he did why his arm ISN'T in the DLC..... something to think about
It's wild how much time you can spend playing the game and constantly hear people in the game pronounce the names and you still can't pronounce their name right lol
Did he though? They are twins. Twins gave that inseparable bond sometimes. He wanted to cure her. She wanted to be cured. I can totally see Malenia doing whatever he ask of her own free will. Heck she might even be immune to his charm since they shared the same womb at the same time, possibly?
Kinda still alive and being carried back to base respectively sound like a draw to me. Neither could fight as they were. One was spent and the other got brain rot…literally. Radahn’s body going into auto pilot eating friend and foe doesn’t sound like a victory to me. Would rather die than lose my sense of self , or in Radahn’s case, his honor and love of battle.
Malenia deserves a second chance. I play as a version of Malenia that overcomes the rot and becomes Queen after witnessing Miquella and Radahn together
@AntediluvianGirl Yes Queen as in she rebels against Miquella. She is the strongest demigod but spent her days rotting away waiting for Miquella the Worst. Millicent wanted Malenia to wake up and live for herself. I play as a version of Malenia that Millicent would be proud of.
I disagree, I think Radahn and Miquella had to have made a deal/promise between them. Because all of this feels too willing for Radahn and it makes sense once you understand him. Other than being kindly, Radahn is known for his ferocity, his hunger, and thirst for battle. Radahn learned from an Alabaster Lord how to use gravity magic, not to defend The Lands Between from the Stars but to pull them towards him! To battle them and become their very scourge. This makes even more sense when you think that the battle between Radahn and Malenia was coordinated. What Radahn wanted from Miquella is a true battle and to be revived if he ever were to die. And Miquella in exchange wished for a Lord, a strong, powerful, conquering Lord.
