Starscourge Radahn Is Elden Ring's Most Misunderstood Hero (Theory)

<br>Though most of these dragons have unique names, a majority of them will fight in the exact same way (and players can thus punish this by attacking their hind legs). However, Lichdragon Fortissax and Dragonlord Placidusax provide interesting battle experiences. Fortissax's lighting makes him very different to stand beneath, and Placidusax's transporting, weapon, and two-headed build make him an entirely unique character who even has his own remembra<br><br> <br>The Lands Between was once ruled by dragons, and the presence of these monsters in Elden Ring __ can attest to this history. The dragons are a powerful breed of beings who have access to ancient magic. As such, they make for excellent bosses in Elden Ring , which can be seen in the list ab<br><br> <br>Indeed, Elden Ring has been a big change for FromSoftware. Dark Souls 1 only had 26 boss battles including the DLC, while <a href="https://eldenringpulse.com/articles/my-epic-battle-with-the-sentient-pest-trio-in-elden-ring-nightreign-a-tarnished-s-tale.html">Elden Ring nightreign</a> Ring has 23 in its main storylines alone. Past these, the number of boss battles in the game appears infinite. With tons of Evergaols and hidden dungeons, every crevice of the Lands Between seems to hold some sort of enemy waiting to fight the Tarnished. But because Elden Ring 's map is both large and jam-packed , a lot of bosses are reused in different areas, which arguably reduces the total number of actual bosses in the g<br><br> <br>With this information about the Eternal Cities and Ranni in mind, Radahn's reason behind stopping the stars' movements can be illuminated. While it is not clear whether Radahn had a personal vendetta against his sister, what is clear is that he had a concern about celestial beings crashing into the Lands Between. He was even willing to learn the gravity magic of these creatures to prevent more of them from coming, which is confirmed by the immediate impact of a meteor in Limgrave after his death and the presence of an Alabaster Lord near the crash site in the Weeping Peninsula. Consequently, Radahn was also willing to stand in his sister and mother's way by stopping the movements of the st<br> <br>As it turned out, the suspicious gatekeeper Gostoc had been stealing a portion of them each time the Tarnished died within Stormveil's walls. He certainly despises being subjugated by Godrick, but he's far from virtuous hims<br><br> <br>The trolls found outside of the Old Altus Tunnel in Elden Rin g no longer have low HP or wear their cloaks. The Old Altus Trolls had incorrect parameters, which caused them to have the wrong stats. Developers fixed this in patch 1.03, so the Old Altus Trolls are different, but they now behave as originally inten<br><br> <br>Pathologic 2 is not a fun game to play, but it is an easy one to recommend. The article and video linked above both go into great detail about why the original Pathologic is so fondly remembered by many of those who played it, at least those who could survive Day 2 without starving , but I can now say from experience Pathologic 2 is better both visually and mechanically, and no one needs to play the original to get something of value out of it. It is one of the best examples of video games as an art form that I've played in years, and anyone who is remotely interested in open world titles, immersive sims, the concept of right and wrong, or even why people play games in the first place should check it out. It is, however, an oppressive adventure, and one which doesn't offer anything resembling the power fantasy most players have come to expect from open world ga<br><br> <br>But the most significant connection between Ranni and the Nox is the Dark Moon. The Moon of Nokstella talisman explains that the Nox worshipped this moon because it guided the stars. Ranni's unique spell Ranni's Dark Moon explains that she discovered this sorcery as young child and that it was " cold, dark and veiled in occult mystery ." This occult mystery is likely related to the Nox people and their Eternal Cities, as they were sealed away beneath the ground long ago. Thus, the Moon of Nokstella and the Dark Moon are likely one in the same, and Ranni's Age of Stars ending to Elden Ring is likely what the Nox would have done if they successfully defeated the Golden Or<br><br> <br>Affectionately dubbed "Turtle Pope" by the fan base, the Pastor of Vows Miriel is arguably one of the best NPCs in Elden Ring . He's as compassionate as he is knowledgable, and is happy to teach and learn along with the Tarnished upon meeting them. However, for gameplay purposes since even NPCs drop loot or incite interesting storylines, one Redditor indulged a dark and morbid curios<br><br> <br>Thus, Radahn stopped the motion of the stars likely to prevent more Malformed Stars, Falling Star Beasts, and Onyx and Alabaster Lords from crashing into the Lands Between and wreaking havoc. Stopping the stars not only aided in this mission because these creatures are stars themselves but also because the Dark Moon that guided them was weakened through Radahn's powers. And because it is only until _Elden Ring _ 's Radahn is defeated that the meteors begin to crash down into the world, he appears to have continued protecting the Lands Between even in his madn<br>
