General Radahn Lore & Story Explained - Elden Ring

In this video, I explore the lore and story of Starscourge Radahn. Starscourge Radahn is a Boss in Elden Ring. Starscourge Radahn is a massive and destructive creature located in Caelid, General Radahn is cursed ever to wander. Eaten from the inside, by Malenia's scarlet rot, his Wits are long gone. Now he gathers the corpses of former friends and foes alike, gorging on them, like a dog.

One sad detail i noticed when i visited redmain castle was a chair close to the lift before Radahn's arena. It was facing the beach. Which made me believe that Jerren spends most of his time looking at his old comrade driven by madness.

General Radahn's boss fight is the epitome of "honorable death" in my eyes. He went down in a way he would've wanted, in battle. An not to just any person, but to someone who becomes an elden lord.

[MrRedMane]

Just the fact that Radahn allowed Malenia to reattach her prosthetics before engaging the fight tells so much about what Radahn stood for.

[itwasaladream]

General Radahn is one of the most bad ass bosses in any game, his lore, his character art, his boss fight everything is so well put together.

[Saint.Cosmos]

I would love for Radahn in whatever new age the tarnished actually ushers in to be a friendly NPC. I could see his non rotted personality being a lot like Alexander. Loud, bombastic but cheery and ready for honorable duels.

[HatredSonneillon]

The thing I love about the Radahn fight is that its not really a boss fight so much as it is an epic raid just to put him out of his misery. Thats why it feels necessary and canonical to summon all those warriors to help celebrate the event and what a spectacle it is too.

[aayusshsingh]

Radhan is one of those few bosses that the whole community just want to fight his prime form

Edit (June 2024): Guys you wont fking

[j.vinton]

He’s actually one of my favorite bosses / characters ingame next to Rykard. The fact that Radahn isn’t a power hungry mad man, but an honorable general who loves his horse and family won me over. I’d liked to have seen him pre rot.

[DarthSateus]

The thing I like about his clash with Malenia is that we’ll never know who would’ve won had both of them reached their full potential, with Malenia in her form as the Goddess of Rot and Radahn no longer held back from restraining the stars

[Hugo_Tate]

The fact that he was still holding the stars back during his rotten years is incredible. I can’t even imagine his prime

[bobbytillman]

Imagine having to fight a 100% full power Radahn… Words wouldn’t be able to describe that battle. Thank you for the lore, very informative and entertaining. Makes me love Radahn even more!

Radahn is just the best designed character I've ever witnessed in gaming like no joke.

[joselazo]

The battle between the two was implied to be a stalemate. As a draw would still mean Malenia was never defeated. Also Malenia was stated to have given into the Scarlet Rot to "meet Radahn's measure", meaning she wasn't able to beat him without the rot.
And finally, Malenia was pulled out of the battlefield slumbering all the way back to the Haligtree after blooming, while Radahn was still alive. Had she been left there, she would have died.

This is what storytelling is about. A story well-woven with a perfect cadence of tone. Enticing, reminiscence of another age where words and imagination were powerful tools. Well done, Dan.

[bananakinflyswatter]

I always see the pre-Rot Radahn as a stoic, almost fatherly figure. Stern, demanding, but had high hopes and pushed people under his command to be the best they could be. That kind of guy to give you a pat on the back after a hard day of work then offer helpful solutions to reduce the workload.

[oerjeke]

Make as many of these videos as you feel like. I really enjoyed the parts where I could see Radahns model since during the fight its kinda hard to see all the details.

[mrprodigy]

This is amazing, we really need a dlc or something that shows radahn in his prime, such a cool boss 1 of my favorites. Would’ve loved to fight him in his prime☹️
-damn i manifested prime radahn😳

[Lansoprazoless]

Malenia: I have never known defeat
Also malenia : got beaten to a pulp by ongbal

[raziel]

Am i the only one who absolutely adores the military drums percussion in his phase 1 theme? It fits him so well

[dragondaddykushala]

You know he was an amazing general when simply his backstory and character inspires us to wanna follow the guy
