Radagon has one of the most striking designs in the series for being so "simple", it's crazy.

I'd love to see what the Elden Beast is doing after it starts flying up into the sky, when it does that ring-explosion attack. I always was too busy dodging the attack to look at it.

Sheesh, no wonder Rennala is so hung up on this dude. He’s gorgeous! Even now when he’s literally falling apart he’s still gorgeous.😂

Radagon's Design is so intriguing and simple, I can't help but think of Nier's Shadowlord in some aspects of the design.

The elden beast is something that almost doesn't look real, like it's so ethereal and just out of this world, like something out of a dream

Honestly, it's strange how the music for both of them is so different, yet both still perfectly fit the end of the game and are both so beautiful. Radagon's theme might legitimately be the best track in a FromSoft game I've ever heard, and I only love it more the more I hear it.

Edit: just listened to them in the soundtrack, the Elden Beast's theme nearly brings tears to my eyes with it's beauty. I fucking love this game.

Man
I love radagon so much
His theme is a banger

The Elden beast is extremely interesting, when I first saw it I thought of those large scale images of galaxy superclusters. Which made me thing about how much of an influence this creature actually would be. Not only to the world, but to the entire universe itself. Everything about it is so un-natural yet so familiar, and with its "face" being a centre point of light that almost looks like it follows you wherever you go, it gives me that feeling that this thing was the centre of the universe.

Another thing I found interesting is in the descriptions given of this thing.
If this creature is the embodiment of order and how the universe works, then that could mean killing it would be physically breaking the order of the universe.
Which strikes a similarity and contrast with Dark souls, as that entire series is about a broken order of the world, and trying to get out of it or fix it in any way possible.
Which brought me down a big rabbit hole that made me think that Gwyn and the rest of the "Gods" from Dark souls aren't gods at all, but just simple lords with a lot of power. Like the Tarnished.
I found it so powerful that when you beat the Elden beast it says "God Slain". It has that impact that, not only did you confront this creature of extreme strength and power for the first time, but you defeated it at that same time as well.

I was NOT expecting Radagon's face to be shaped like that. In my mind it always filled in the blanks as "ah red hair and muscular? Must be Ganondorf!" but he's surprisingly pretty?

[Svnder]

What’s crazy is despite Radagon not having a speaking line, unlike most of the other bosses, his design alone shows a lot about his character. He just looks tired and broken, just like the Golden Order he swore himself to. But he’s going to perform his duty to it nonetheless.

Such a fantastic and simple design.

He may be cracked but oh boy! is this guy the pinnacle of beauty in bosses I've seen.

I was thinking to myself today "damn I'd like to get s good look at Radagons model, it's so cool" and then this shows up, cheers 👍

[GenEric]

The minute I heard the title theme playing for Radagon, I knew this was going to be the best fight.

Taken straight out of an anime, seriously.

[FimbongBass]

Radagon looks so badass and cool when hes holding his Hammer in the air while looking back at you, such an iconic moment, then the reveal of the elden beast paired with that somber yet beautiful music really is the cherry on too for me, loved this whole battle

[wes]

whoever made radagon deserves a raise. it's badass af!

[Sienna]

Now I get why Rennala was so hung up on Radagon. He was pretty af

[kaxothest]

Looking at Radagon I was struck by the beauty of his design, and the moment Elden Beast came and I realized these little things under its abdomen were LEGS, my howls of laughter covered the choirs of the music

If there were ever words to describe the Elden Beast, they'd have to be 'Hauntingly Beautiful'

[billfox]

when you're wailing on him and he's only slightly flinching and has that dead expression it's actually terrifying
