I just realized...Radagon/Marika becomes the Elden Beast's sword and the sword is pretty representative of them. The blade starts as one, then it twins and spirals until it coalesces into one again
It's kinda horrific, as well. Maybe not for Radagon, who was a Fundamentalist in the religious and in-Universe sense, but Marika was someone who wanted to be freed of the Golden Order. If only for a moment, she essentially became an unthinking tool. Or maybe I'm reading too far into it lol.
@@andyroobrick-a-brack9355 that's pretty spot on to what I've read from many other players. In the end they were never nothing more than tools to be used by the Elden beast
I love the feeling of desperation at the end of the game. You just killed all the demigods and all of marikas children are dead. So next in line to defend the golden order is maleketh the black blade. You kill him and then the tree is burning. Then Gideon even tries to stop you but fails. Then Godfrey tries to stop you but also dies leaving the tree defenseless. Then the next to defend it is the last two lineages of the golden order the king of the lands between and a god. Then he fails and literally no one is left to defend it so the literal god of the Elden ring and the physical manifestation of the Greater Will; the Elden Beast comes out and basically pulls a "I'll do it myself". Then my favourite part of the game after the Elden Beast dies sitting in the tree there's no music. It's dead silent as the last thing to stop you is dead and no one left to stop you. Fate of the world sits in your hands.
I love the Symbian of the Elden Beast turning Marika/Radagon into the sword it weilds. It shows the reversal of roles. Instead of them using the Elden Ring , now the Elden Ring uses them
oh man, the OST of both fight's totally make diference. while fighting radagon, you know that you're fighting an great warrior, but when Elden Beast joins, the calm of the OST makes you know that you're fighting an GOD.
the entrance alone of the elden beast honestly takes my breath away, i can't explain. the music, the vibes, the majestic dragon/entity/god all on point. playing so much rpg and mmo's only the elden beast entrance makes me feel like i'm actually facing a real mysterious outer god being. the fight obviously not my liking but only the entrance.
Honestly the only thing I don’t like about this fight is how open the arena is, you could be really close to finishing the fight and he could just swims as far away as possible, still a cool fight though

No one's ever brought to the attention the elden beast is essentially the strands universe all connected like a superclusters or even the great attractor

Just beat Elden Beast for the first time today after 2 days of frustration. I was level 153. I kept dying with a tonne of health pots left over, so what helped me was putting a lot of points into vigor. I think I had like 80. I also used the erdtree blessing, protection of the erdtree and golden vow incantations to offer a lot of damage reduction. After that, I beat it on my first attempt with ease.
I was literally screaming with my fist in the air when I defeated the elden beast. It was probably the hardest fair boss fight I've ever had. I write "fair" because Malenia was probably harder but that boss fight felt unfair to me. The boss fight against the elden beast was beautiful, like poetry or a dance. Dodging its attacks required more finesse than any other boss. With skill, patience and good positioning you could be impervious. But the beast has so much in his arsenal that it was very difficult. I had to come up with new strategies that I haven't used in any other boss fight. I had to change mixed physick, talismans. I used any item that would reduce holy damage and increase my own. And finally after many attempts I did it. Also the fight against Radagon was also amazing. I had goosebumps during the fight hearing the main theme and fighting against the god who I had heard about throughout the entire game. Radagon, consort of Marika, husband of Rennala, a god. Easily top 3 games I've ever played. A masterpiece of masterpieces.
i got really lucky fought him and he caught me in that orb grab he does, had never seen it before so figured if i spammed roll i could maybe get out, i didn't, but i kept mashing roll as i had no clue it was futile, i then got impaled by a fuck ton of the things but i took 0 damage. I was released, and he aggrod onto the summon i had left from radagon. i started wailing on him, but he just stopped attacking after a few seconds. took him from 3/4 health to 0 without him moving a muscle. my theory is i was supposed to die when that grab happened but i didn't for some reason, but the AI still thought I did?
Yeah lol yesterday i fought him for the first time and when he did that attack i just stood there looking at it and it was too late when i realized it was an attack
If you did the Ranni quest line then you can get 2 ending trophies for the price of one. Just do a cloud save for Elden ring after you beat the boss and before you do anything with Rannis summon sign or the head on the ground and you can get the Elden lord ending and the age of stars ending.
What are those other erd trees inside the erd tree?? Are those other trees planted on other planets?? The connection between them seen only when the Elden beast releases the purple night into the sky?
If you look closely the Sword the Elden Beast pulls from the ground is actually Radagon transformed. You can see his arms stretched out and his spine going down the hilt
Ngl as someone who has played a lot of games including RPG's but never a soulslike game, the Elden Beast is one of the most beautiful and magnificent boss fights I've ever seen, the boss' eldritch appearance/design, the music, the scenery, it's so gorgeous
I kinda like the idea of the Sacred Relic Sword being made out of Radagon, but it can't be, can it? We're never shown Radagon's and Marika's body at the same time but we're told Radagon is Marika, yet Marika's body is "fine" after the fight; not to mention Radagon was missing his left arm and ribcage before going in the goo. But maybe we don't fight Radagon's actual body, which would make sense since that thing wasn't even flesh and bone, but instead... I don't know, clay???
As soon as I got to the Elden Beast, I understood. Yes, the boss fight is annoying, and definitely not easy. But…. It’s not meant to be hard. Miyazaki knew there were harder bosses aka Malenia, so, he tried something different. He made an experience, one of lights, music, and true atmosphere. The Elden Beast isn’t the final boss because it is tough, it is the final boss because it is beautiful and iconic.
