None, just an indirect consequence of sending Malenia to kill Radahn
Just like Ranni and Godwyn
>>
>>681188807
Nothing that I know if, he even made plenty of effort to cure it or keep it at bay. I guess he has partial responsibility if he ordered Malenia to go fight Radahn, but I doubt there's an item description anywhere stating "and when you reach him, go full Chernobyl on that fucker. I want the land poisoned for generations to come"

Actually that's another huge question. If Miquella is the reason why Malenia attacked Radahn (we don't know this), why would he want Radahn dead?
>Because when he's dead, he can take the body of a big omen he's seduced to resurrect Radahn into and then make him king consort
Or he could have just asked Radahn?? Radahn wanted to be Lord already, right? So he's getting what he wants out of this. This lore makes it seem like they have even less reason to fight.
>>
>>681189661
It doesn't make any sense if Radahn was on their side all this time. If he refused an offer from Miquella than at least their fight with Malenia would make sense.
>>
>>681190161
If it did, then at least we'd understand the convoluted steps to force him, but we don't know if he did. But actually no, it doesn't make sense for him to refuse - how could he refuse a femboy who has an uncontrollable charming aura?
>>
>>681189661
In Marika's own words: "You fucking shitter parasite brats do your fucking job and try to become gods or you're going to be forgotten like the bitch niggas you are"
So no, Radahn and Malenia were still fighting for the great runes and the right to succeed Marika. Sometimes each in their own way like Ranni and Rykard, Miquella is the obvious tradfag following her footsteps. Malenia being a fujo shipper and Miquella being an incestfag are just flavor, they still fought for the greatrunes

We know, it's in Radahn's armor description, Malenia obeyed Miquella's orders.
She attacked him because he refused Miquella's proposal.

>The golden armor worn by Radahn in his younger years. Proudly adorned with heroic red accents, it is fitting attire for a lion. When Malenia, Blade of Miquella, let the rotflower blossom in Aeonia, Radahn heard a murmur in his ear— "Miquella awaits thee, O promised consort."

I don't get it. She needed him to die to send him to the Shadow Realm where Miquella previously sent himself, after fucking Mohg, to intercept dead Radahn? Why not just have Miquella stay in the Lands Between and brainwash him directly? And Radahn only participated in the war to resist being gay?

Why does Radahn need to be dead? And why does it need to be Radahn? And why do all these convoluted steps need to be taken to do something that's actually relatively simple?

>>681193696
How? No one can, as far as we know. The only reason we the player survive is because Miquella breaks his great rune before we meet him - and even then, we can be charmed
Also, does anyone actually need to die to enter the Shadow Realm? We don't. None of the party we followed did. Did Miquella himself even die? What about Messmer, Marika and the other characters we know entered the shadow realm? The idea that Radahn has to die first seems completely arbitrary

Fromsoft are fucking hacks
>>
>>681192910
It's a fucking item description, retard.
>>681193431
If Miquella could have influenced him he clearly would have like he did with Mohg.
I don't think everyone can fall under Miquella's influence, I think you need to be predisposed.
Also keep in mind the prophecy of the goodhood altar, a Lord need to have a vessel, I don't think you can do it without a soul entering someone else's body but I'm not completely sure about how that works, if it's a necessary process or if it's a prediction of what Miquella will do specifically.
Either way it seems Radahn was unwilling.

>>
>>681193431
Miquella wanted to use the gate of divinity and to retrace Marika's steps for """reasons""". A better question is if it's possible to just pluck demigod souls and put them in new bodies why did Rannit have to kill Godwyn? She could have just an-heroed and had Miquella put her in a puppet or something. I'm pretty sure there's some side eye mention of them working together on something.
>>
>>681194529
See >>681194608
Why Radahn? Because Miquella wants Radahn, he loves his strength and kindness, it was in an item description. If he set his mind on him why change to someone else? He probably also sees it as part of hiw vow to himself and Radahn, sort of a self imposed duty.

Everything is very easily explained if you accept Miquella a) wanted to succeed Marika b) was doing it by seducing people.
Everything falls into place after this
Marika and Ranni killed Miquella sympathizers
Radahn didn't like that kind of rule and refused to cooperate
Marika shattered the ring to stop the succession
Miquella lost the Shattering after Malenia lost to Radahn
There were other alternatives to Miquella ascension except the gate of divinity. That's why he went to the shadow realm
>>
>>681195110
>That implies she's trying to make a cult and not just steal power to spite the people controlling her and others.
No it implies she's part of a cult as all the faggot moon worshiping carians are. Just like her whore mother she's just in contact with its patrons. However considering around half of the current problems in the Lands Between can be traced back to Carian shits (and red hair but that's another discussion) says the Carians and moon worshipers are harmful, spiteful faggots.

Funny thing is, the base game actually makes you way more sympathetic to Miquella. The other demigods you face are all established jerks, broken people or megalomaniacal. But not only is Miquella not characterised that way, his actions in the base game's lore seem overwhelmingly benign. I thought we'd be on his side, not fighting him

>Created the unalloyed needle that lets you do a side-quest to save Melina without burning the frenzied flame
>Dedicates his life to treating his sister's curse
>Dedicates his life to treating the rejected of society
>Makes an enemy of the Golden Order for trying to understand and spread wisdom, and that's good because we already know the Golden Order is bad
>Teaser poster shows he was Torrent's master
>Implied to not be physically powerful, so no one was demanding a boss fight from him
>Before the DLC, seems he was the victim in his and Mohg's relationship
>All Miquella wants is a kinder world

The player is arguably in Miquella's debt. In fact? The DLC fails to give us a reason to fight Miquella at all.

>You fight for the Erdtree
No, I'm about to burn it/have already burned it.
>He is a demigod.
So is Ranni but I'm her friend.
>He wants to bring about something bad
He wants a gentler world and that's all you told me. Even when things were good, the Lands Between was hideous. We could use a bit more gentleness. The Dung Eater and Frenzied Flame endings are definitely worse, and arguably so are most of the others, but you let me pick those
>He bears a great rune.
He broke and discarded his great rune
>He wants you dead.
He wants to get along with me

He fields no army against you, he has no disagreements with you, and instead of hurting people you care about he instead has arguably helped them either directly or indirectly.

Who made the choice for Miquella to be a fight? And why does so little in the expansion reflect he'll be a fight until we reach Leda fight?

From despite having a huge influence from western art are still deep within the waifu culture. Every souls game has some waifu servant leveling you up.
The sole exception is Sekiro, and even then you still have the black haired bitch.

>Because Miquella wants Radahn, he loves his strength and kindness
So? I'm not denying that's what the description says, I'm criticising its narrative.
>Radahn is strong
Undeniably, he's the scourge of the stars, but if you couldn't have him for some reason, why not someone else? Miquella is charismatic to the point he can get anyone on board, and he already has his sister Malenia. Radahn isn't the only one to fill the role of strong, is he?
>Radahn is kind
Same answer. And same answer again for the "Strong and kind" combination

>Self-imposed duty
Why is Miquella such an obtuse twat? Does it really matter how he makes the world a better place so long as he does so?
>Miquella's an autistic obtuse control freak
Then why are there so few other instances of him being an autistic obtuse control freak? If it's a trait that's only there for this one instance, then it's a convenience for the writer and not an actual trait of a character

The problem with Fromsoft plots is that because people spend so much time piecing together what they're saying, they don't often question if the story they're getting sucks

>>681196492
You seem to commit the common mistake people make when criticizing fiction of thinking that everyone is like you.
Miquella made a vow, disregarding whether Radahn agreed on it or not, clearly Miquella saw it as something binding.
You refuse a narrative because you think you would have behaved differently. That's not how stories work.
>>
>>681196492
Miquella isn't a control freak. He's self hating and has a messiah complex. He blames himself and his lineage for things going wrong in the world because Marika was riddled with fear and anxiety after ascending to Godhood. She wanted the façade of Golden Order to be unquestionable, which made her cruel and tyrannical against things she viewed as a threat to her Order or it's image as being eternal. Anything that even hinted at a past in which the Golden Order wasn't the single overbearing Authority in the Lands between had to be quashed.

Miquella is willing to go through with everything because he sees it as penance for his lineage.
>>
At this point it's better to wait for the HBO TV show
>>
>>681196492
>why Radahn (2x)
Because Miquella wanted him to be his consort.
>why are there so few instances
Your Bewitching Branch? Also, he wasn’t necessarily as much of a control freak at first. He stripped parts of himself (both physical and mental) throughout the Shadow Realm, including his compassion. Road to Hell is paved with good intentions blah blah.
>Miquella is charismatic
It seems that’s more to do with his power than his actual likeable personality.

Not that anon but you are a faggot unable to accept fair criticism for something that was badly done.

Bloodborne gave us the choice to not fight gherman but From didn't even bother to justify not giving us the option to not killing miquella and now you are running in their defense for free for some reason. The dlc is so loosely tied to the base game with shit like rellana, midra and romina that feels like the whole thing is made of previously dropped ideas and you are pathetic for defending it. The dlc is not canon because is fucking dogshit lorewise.

Is there something uniquely difficult for you to understand? A character developed a blind, unhealthy obsession they pursued no matter the cost to themselves or others. If that bothers you, I don't think you should continue trying to enjoy fiction.

Fair question. He already had the fire thing going on and the Abbysal Serpent/Original Sin stuff isn't really mentioned anywhere else. Personally I feel they should have dropped the snake motiff and just made him focused on the Fire. It makes sense Marika would exile her children associated with Flame, as they would have abilities with connotations towards the Cardinal Sin.

Are you retarded? It's repeated over and over. You are Marika's Lord. You are the Lord of this order. Miquella does not want you as his Lord, so he's challenging your Lordship. That's why you fight him.

A shame the DLC states over and over that you are Marika's Lord, Lord of the Old Order, and Lord of the Erdtree in the setting of the DLC, retard.
Even if you weren't Marika's Lord, you are a Lord or will be a Lord, Miquella is still challenging your Lordship.
>>
>>681198237
Because the game is about (You) becoming a Lord. Going Miquella route would mean giving up that role to Radahn.
>why don’t they give a Hollowing ending in Dark Souls? maybe I don’t want to be the Chosen Undead >:(((((
So turn the game off after you die. Boom. There’s your Hollow ending. Same idea with a Miquella ending. Get phase 2 grabbed and turn it off.
>>
>>681195559
Bro, Miquella discarded all the qualities that made him do the good things for people in the Lands between when he began his ascension into Godhood. That's the entire theme of the game. Ambition Corrupts Purpose. He literally threw away his Love because it would have gotten in the way of achieving his goal of enforcing Harmony on the World.

The MC is trying to either trying to be elden lord or burn the entire world to nothing and Miquella doesn't want the player no matter how much the player might want him. In any case, shed all of his good qualities so why would even want him at that point?
>>
>>681192936
Yes, that business with Boggart was straight up staged, she assumed you'd just kill him to the extent she didn't even confirm it when you get back, just assumes and offers you a club membership
There's a reason Patches is hanging around the area and points you to her, the entire thing was a setup

this is more akin to how Sekiro gives you an alternative ending for sticking with Owl and you know it

She has her simps do all the legwork. Same with Fia. Millicent is the only woman in the game I can think of who actually pulls her weight.
>>
>>681199027
Why did he need to do that to become a God? There is no answer to this question. He just did. Bad writing.
>>
Given Miquella's whole thing about abandoning her Love and Compassion, it would have made more sense if Radahn was chosen as Consort on purely practical reasons because he's the strongest, as opposed to Radahn being Miquella's boyhood crush and the whole fiasco being some true love thing.
>>
>>681199885
>>681200397
Also Nepheli. And I haven't gotten to the new stuff yet so I can't speak for that.
>>
>>681200397
We babysit Millicent from beginning to end but its true she's at least willing to do some legwork, even if she just makes bosses tankier
The true girlboss is Anastasia, she's a strong independent maiden that don't need no Tarnished (except for supper)
>>
>>681200029
she didn't need (you) in particular though, she mostly needed (someone) to kill off Radahn already
Had Malenia actually done the job proper she would have likely gotten away with everything already in the sheer chaos of the shattering

and her bodycount of collateral damage is absolutely nothing compared to what Miquella or Radagon pulled

>>681200397
She slays her two-fingers herself though, and it's not just her who has some other people do the legwork, like Goldmask also is pretty useless unless you figure out the Marika-Radagon connection

Every npc needs help at some point, Millicent also doesn't do much if you don't give her that arm

>>681200441
If he still possessed his Love he wouldn't have had the compunction to go through with what had to be done to create his New Order

>>681200442

This is just such a bizzare choice on the behalf of the writing team to have Miquella get Malenia to nuke Caelid just because his half-brother doesn't reciprocate his affection

But I'm the Lord of Frenzied Flame, it doesn't matter if Miquella become a god since I'm melting the world anyway.

>>681197169
Ranni's corpse has red hair

Also kind of raises the question why Miquella couldn't just have inherited Marika's position in a standard fashion. Why go through the trouble of usurping her Godhood?
>>
>>681200613
Her laundry list was so ridiculous that she needed a vyke/bernahl tier champion to do it all for her. And Iji/Blaidd/Seluvis was who she was stuck with all this time so she hadn't moved her plot forward one inch.
Let's not forget how often she tries to chase you off, you basically have to hound her at every step to let her do stuff for her.
Imagine how long she'd be cockblocked by that baleful shadow without the Tarnished. She had NO FUCKING PLAN.

The entire thing is designed to be a bloodbowl where everyone usurps each other.

>>681200760
It's even weirder how Miquella wanted an age of compassion with warmonger Radahn as his consort. I mean, Marika picked Godfrey because he was a psychopath battle autist and ultimately drove him off once peacetime arrived.
People will say its proof Miquella is akshually evil/stupid but it just doesn't mesh with any pre-DLC lore. It's just horrendous writing.

That wasn’t necessarily part of the plan, throughbeit. Malenia chose to Scarlet Rot nuke Caelid because her pride couldn’t accept defeat (as stated by Millicent)

I just realised, if you haven't burned the Erdtree yet, Melina is still with you. It's weird that she doesn't even have a single line about it.

>>681196161
>Radagon was somehow cuckolding Renalla
Nah, if we know anything about Radagon its that he was loyal, warm and genuine. Unlike Marika. I'm certain he didn't want to cuck Renalla but he's beholden to forces that he could not resist and even his parting from her was apologetic.

And Gideon is deeply interested in finding out the whereabouts of Miquella, don't forget how much of his motivation is gaining access to the Haligtree at any cost. But nothing. This DLC is total dogshit at a lore level. I'm actually surprised From dropped the ball this hard when they were poised to really go all out this time with all the normalfag cash.
Hell we barely get any cutscenes or any voicelines WITHIN the DLC from the important characters.

>>681200963
only because she got Radahn blocked and had to wait ages for someone capable of taking him down and by then the black knives had already caught onto the fact Ranni wasn't really on their side

If shit doesn't go south and Malenia actually kills Radahn, it's possible she still had Alecto to do her bidding which absolutely would have sufficed as a champion
>>
>>681198131
Getting to side with Ranni proves that I don't have to fight every Empyrean I see as if I'm a black man in a TV shop. Regardless, I'm not sure what your point in citing all these is? The mere fact the player can choose different endings, and several don't mean becoming elden lord, proves we're not married to any one fixed order. We can choose. We can value different angles on lordship. I'm not trying to go hyper open-world and say we need a Morgott ending or Prawnman ending, but how hard would it have been to summon Miquella at the end instead and do a lazy ending like all the other endings are?

>>681198585
>>681198938
>>681199941
But I don't have to be Elden Lord at all. I can go away with Ranni, or I can burn it all down. If these endings didn't exist, then I'd understand I'm somehow playing a hyper-compelled faggot who must do everything Marika says wait didn't Marika's grace favour Godfrey over me when we met?, but as it is, claiming the player-character is hyper-possessive over it contradicts the base game lore. Which is why I'm saying it's bad.

>>681201304
Miquella has to burn the erdtree too if he wants to get the elden ring. Everyone does
>>
>>681201806
What are you talking about? Radahns entire personality is his idolization of Godfrey, Radahn's predesesccors.
>>
>>681201671
You can see from ingame lore that he interacted with his children much more than Marika (who told them all to make something of themselves else they'd be sacrificed) and he left Rennala with a rather substantial consolation gift. Even if his actions were always dictated by the GO, there's personal touches that show he carried them out with a humanity that's totally missing from Marika. Which makes sense considering he is what she is not.
>>
>>681201806
>Ranni is just a massive momma's girl and hates her dad for divorcing her mom
If a little girl ends up liking her mom more than her dad, then daddy has done something very wrong at some point in raising her. Girls usually simp for their fathers. So Radagon must've been a shit dad.
>>
>>681201706
It's actually surprising how unpolished the DLC feels considering it's 40 fucking dollars and they had 2 years to work on it. Not every main boss has a cut scene. Sparse voice lines. No multiple endings or choices. No tie-ins to the base game

>>681201220
she didn't drove him off because she needed a peacetime ruler
she drove him off because even in his Godfrey persona he was refusing to go along with the golden order program

>>681201897
The DEFAULT goal of a Tarnished is the Age of Fracture ending. The DLC either takes place after you've already done this ending, or you're just a tarnished pursuing Elden Lord.
So weird how you quote two endings where you're a Lord as a contradiction to this as well. LORD of Frenzied Flame. You are Ranni's LORD in that ending.
>>
>>681202061
I think that was a ceremonial thing, Rykard's troops had the same red hair thing, but he very clearly didn't give a single shit about Radagon's philosophy.

An Elden Lord is just the consort of the goddess with the Elden Ring. In Ranni's ending, she is the goddess with the Elden Ring, she just fucks off with it into space with you.

Marika wants Total Greater Will Death and she's not picky about how it happens
>>
>>681195559
St. Trina tells you to kill Miquella.

>>
>>681202394
>And oh yeah, because Marika really wants me to become the lord of Frenzied Flame, tell me more about how that choice makes her happy
Marika doesn't care. Madness is at the root of her story, if you want to nuke it all you're just finishing what she started.
>>
>>681202394
The Tarnished in the DLC is Marika's Lord. Not Ranni's, not the Lord of Frenzied Flame, etc. They are the Tarnished either pursuing the throne, thus just pursuing Marika, or they are a Tarnished that has already become Marika's Lord.
And in Ranni's ending, you are her Lord. Are you stupid?
I never said LoFF makes Marika happy either, just that you're still a Lord. Your Lordship would still be challenged.
>>
>>681202287
Yet he wants to destroy the Golden Order and even helped Ranni in her plan to assassinate Godwyn. If that can still count as "loving his father" then Ranni herself never says anything negative about Radagon. In fact, she says exactly zero about him.

>>
>>681202619
Radahn did not help Ranni's plans and did not betray the Golden Order. He attacked Leyndell once, but it's being run by a fucking Omen who for all anybody knows is just stopping anyone from becoming Elden Lord.

The DLC has to tie back into the base game which gives choices or reflects past choices. Just to make sure you're not missing the point, a criticism of SoTE is that it's rigidly defining the player's purpose and setting limitations based on that, in ways that contradict potential routes in the base game. If I can do things besides mending the elden ring, and if I can pick routes from a sociopath or chaos incarnate, why is it only sensible to force a fight with someone who doesn't want to fight me based on those things?

So what you're saying is her ending is fucking pointless?

Because since we cleared the way, somebody can just go to the Shadow Lands and become a God at the Divine Gate and maje their own new world order after the Tarnished and Ranni fuck off into space, if she's not a God.

He's just stupid, he doesn't realize Ranni's Age is fucking reliant on her taking the Elden Ring away so people can't fuck with it or even prove it's real.
>>
>>681195395
There nothing that states that there is a moon god. Ranni is specifically leaving woth thebplayer character so that the elden ring is far, far away from the lands inbetween so that the people can live free of it's influence.

Radagon's big joy from Miquella is when Miquella displays a new aspect of Golden Order fundamentalism, which pleases Radagon's faith. The exact reason why he gave Renalla the Rune of Rebirth is unknown.
>>
>>681203250
The Golden Order doesn't need the Greater Will's direct influence, in fact that's impossible since the GW has been noncommunicative for ages.
Marika wants you to kill the Elden Beast, anything after that is your just reward even if that is melting the world into oneness.

>a criticism of SoTE is that it's rigidly defining the player's purpose and setting limitations based on that, in ways that contradict potential routes in the base game
So true! That's why you were saying the same thing when the other games in the franchise had DLC set in the future that didn't perfectly reflect some random ending you might've gotten right? This is not real criticism.
I still don't see your point with Miquella "not wanting to fight you" based on the other endings. Miquella wants to rule the new age, and has already chosen his consort. You either yield your Lordship or kill him. It's not that complicated. Every ending involves you becoming Lord, even if the DLC implies the ending it's based off of is Age of Fracture.
>>
>>681195559
Miquella coerciones people by making them love/adore him. He literally mindfucks people. His kinder world is going to be accomplished by mass mindcontrol. Its literally spelled out for you. He himself has also lost his ability to love. This is also directly stated. He uses love to control people while not feeling love himself.
>>
>>681203503
the Elden Beast IS the Elden Ring
you can see the scar in the Elden Beast because of Marika breaking the ring
that was the fucking entire point of the base game
the God was whom hold the Elden Beast inside them
that's why Marika couldn't break free from GW because the Elden Beast was a vassal of GW and wouldn't go against it unless someone beat it
at the end of the game the Tarnished beat the Elden Beast making it unconscious

the DLC is fucking shit lorewise

>I still don't see your point with Miquella "not wanting to fight you" based on the other endings
Miquella constantly asks you before the fight to walk with him, to join together.

So are you complaining he's not fighting you motivated by the fact LoFF would go against what he wants? Or what?
You are the one aggressing Miquella, you are the one forcing the fight.

He took in the kindred because Malenia rejected them
Oddly enough Gowry and the Kindred aren't truly aligned and the Kindred aren't inherently malicious. Just sort of incompatible with non scarlet rot life. The DLC shows that some are friendly and they're almost childlike.
Gowry on the hand seems to be a direct agent of the rot god and is only possessing the body of a kindred, he thinks they're "witless pests"
In Miquella's order everyone would get along one way or another and that includes kindred.

They very clearly wanted Miquella + Radahn to be the opposite of You + Ranni, with him mirroring her.

You need to be a god to merge with the elden ring properr, as evident by Marika becoming a goddess in the DLC trailer.
>But he was an empyrean!
His and Melania's Fingers are nuked like all the others probably because they kept their great runes. Ranni was the slated Marika successor, not Miquella.

Miquella needed Mohg as a bridge to enter the shadow realm, where as it's likely if Ranni accepted her fate the fingers would have taken her to the gate of divinity themselves.

I’m pretty sure Godfrey’s exile was the first part of Marika’s “Fuck the GW” plan. She needed to make an army of tarnished outside of the GW’s control. Godfrey may even have been in on the plan.
>>
>>681205585
You'd think he'd plan to use Radahn's own body and just resurrect him. Sure he couldn't predict Alexander eating him but still, that he already planned for a fucked up omen body to the extent that he'd make such a pact with Mogh makes all this seem like an asspull.

Or fingers. Really with people barely dying in the lands between or being will bound to demigods it makes sense having a foriegn army die off elsewhere and come back when the hellscape of the shattering calmed down.

Truth is Ranni can't really intervene which is why she leans so heavily on errand boys like (You)
She can instakill you in her own tower and protect her mother sure, but these are both places that belong to her.
She is incredibly weak on her own in places outside her domain as the game demonstrates. There's a steep price for ditching your demigod body and inhabiting a sleepy puppet it turns out.

When she sends you after Blackguard (who is tarnished), she asks (You) (also tarnished) if you have any issue killing your own. She's scouting for tarnished who don't have reserves killing other tarnished. She knows exactly what's going on, retard.

Why the fuck did he pick mogh if he could just mindcontrol anyone

Mohg probably did not consent to that one.

However if Miquella's mind rape powers were what everyone thinks they are, he could have just forced Mohg to go kill Radahn himself.

Because Mogh has fallen for the mind control before. His flesh is weak.

Now you're equating the plot quality of this game to every other one. DS1 is a much more cohesive game than Elden Ring despite having a simpler world, and Oolacile is better experienced before its actual endgame if you're looking for a narrative. What ones are you thinking of that are forced to be narratively post-game?

>Maybe the countless times you're called "Lord of the Erdtree", "Lord of Marika" and etc? The other endings wouldn't track as well as the Fracture ending to these titles.
The dialogue I remember all said I strove to become a lord, not that I actually was on. I played on a character who hadn't actually burned the erdtree or killed the elden beast yet. I doubt there are, but are there known differences based on the base game's status?

This shit was a 6/10 on a good day. Terrible bosses, mediocre design legacy dungeons outside of shit like the Manse, the lore was okay, new weapons are stuck in the DLC which you have to beat Mohg and Radahn to get to anyways, tons of empty space with nothing in it, just generally mediocre. It was more of the same but with the bad parts cranked up to 11. The final boss was shit in terms of gameplay, at least with Malenia, outside of getting caught in an unexpected Waterfowl, it was a relatively straightforward fight with the gimmick of her health regen. For this shit, you just pray he doesn't do certain moves if you're not light rolling because your likelihood of evading if you're not using the deflecting hardtear is a crapshoot.

The difference between Ranni and Miquella is that Ranni's very pro-self choice whereas Miquella sees himself as being the only one worthy of making any true choices.
RAnni gives you the option to quit at any time and basically frees the world from the Golden Order and the Outer Gods trying to control the destinies of men. They can fuck up but they're free to make their own choices instead of being at the fault of some unknowable cosmic being.
Miquella can't take no for an answer and tried killing you on the spot because you could possibly reject him, did the same thing to Radahn to make him an obedient meat puppet, and wants to basically eradicate free will entirely to make the world a paradise.

Haha not really, I only had a couple like this and I'd just beat the boss down to 50% and let them kill me. The host would die before the session even ended.
99% of my hosts were so aggro I had to be even more aggro to keep the boss from smashing their heads in which usually ended up getting me killed or eating into my flasks way too early.
The most successful runs were when the host knew how to play the back and forth game, strangely a lot of these guys beat it on the first try (they watched the midfight cinematic all the way through) and honestly probably didn't need to summon

None of these are just "natural defects", so his has to be caused by some external entity too.

His weapon's description strongly implies that no, this is his own thing. Not that other monks couldn't train under a waterfall, but that's how they've always did NPC quest.

He was pretty straightforward with all of it.
The only thing I disagree with is the notion that Metyr and the Fingers were broken and cut off for a very long time.

I think the cutoff is probably right around when the Land of Shadow was sealed. With Metyr in the seal, it'd make sense that she, and thus the fingers, would be cut off from the GW.
Everything up to that point seems in line with what the GW would have wanted:
>Fingers plant the Erdtree in the Crucible
>Guide Marika in seducing the Hornsent and getting the Elden Ring
>Lead her along to removing Destined Death from the ring so the souls get hewn into the Erdtree instead of dying
>Take out the Giants who would be the ones with fire to take out the Erdtree
Everything up to that point seems pretty in line to have the Erdtree secured for eternity. It's just that Marika finally wised up that the tree was all the GW cared about and she started to fuck up it's endless age.

The only way your interpretation works is if the item descriptions and Ymir are both lying. The GW isn't involved in any capacity and fucked off completely leaving only Metyr and the Elden Beast behind.
I don't even care what vaati shilled and said, I'm just going based on what's explicitly available in the game.

Show me where it says that the GW was NEVER in contact with Metyr or the Fingers. The item description specifically says she's waiting for ANOTHER message.
I agree with the idea that they've lost contact with it, but my point is I think it was back when Marika started fucking shit up, not some point long before then.
There's no way the Fingers just bungled into the Erdtree setup without any input from the GW.

Between Miquella's influence and the formless mother, who knows how much of Mogh was even Mogh. Outer gods don't leave a light touch on the minds of their champions.
But no, the nature of the bloody fingers doesn't really suggest a priority on scholarship and just reading the text on war surgeon's set suggests what sort of organization Mogh actually ran.

Anon your whole narrative makes no sense from the start because the Elden Beast is the Elden Ring, and other Orders before Marika had the ring in different arrangements.

The Greater Will doesn't give a fuck about the Erdtree, Marika's shaman society just worshipped trees so she imported that into her new religion.

How does other peopl ehaving the ring mean that the GW didn't have some specific plan? Metyr was the first one to land apparently. She clearly had some kind of purpose, which was likely in guiding things to the point of the Age of the Erdtree, the eternal age.

>>681213241
Why do you need to ignore the dragons? They could very well be part of this plan.
The biggest thing that happened over the period from the Elden Ring landing to the Age of the Erdtree was evolution.
>Way back during the age of the dragons, beasts started evolving into Beastmen
>By the time of the Hornsent, most things had evolved away besides horns
>And we got Numen/Human coming to be who became the final step as the Erdtree was grown and then shit set into eternal age
Metyr was likely told to wait for the right moment when enough evolution had occured to play the final setup. Hell, maybe she even was cut off before Marika and just had the plan still in line from before then.

Ymir claims everything was broken from the start, but he's also a retard that thought he could become a new, better mother of the fingers and abandoned the moon stuff cause "it's just the closest body". He can be wrong about some of it, you know.

It does not make sense for all this runabout just to reach the age of the Erdtree, when the age of the Erdtree isn't even eternal. Not to mention your idea the GW was cutoff by the veil doesn't track with the fact that the Fingers did nothing against Marika when she did that.

Because the items back up Ymir's entire deluge of backstory exposition.
You're literally just making up a bunch of shit because you want to ignore what you're being explicitly told. Everything you say is just you assuming shit.
Is the dude nutty? Yeah, because he thinks he can be a better finger mother than the finger mother. It's a pretty common thing in the game where people think they can do things better than the previous person.
But since you're so fond of making wild assumptions. If the GW fucked off only when Marika sealed the Shadowlands, why didn't it just contact all the two fingers that weren't sealed off?
>>
>>681213862
>Ymir claims everything was broken from the start, but he's also a retard that thought he could become a new, better mother of the fingers and abandoned the moon stuff cause "it's just the closest body". He can be wrong about some of it, you know.

That, again, has nothing to do with the elden beast being the elden ring (which it isn't).
The ring continues to exist after you kill the beast. The ring existed before the beast was a thing.

>The Greater Will planned for Bayle to be a huge asshole?
Actually, been thinking about Bayle and his whole deal.
He's the one that birthed all the newer wyvern type dragons, isn't he? Saw a video showing his model closely and it made me consider something:
Isn't his face really close to an Omen's? Like he's got the same ton of horns covering it a la Mohg. And when he hits 50% and goes into this second phase, he gets magical wings that just appear on his back, very similar to Crucible incantations.

Tinfoil hat theory, but could Bayle have been something intentional of the Crucible? Like a thing born to end the age of the dragons by fucking up Placidussax?
>>
>>681214109
the Elden Ring IS the Elden Beast
>>
>>681214359
And you'll notice they are finger creepers because he is just 1 guy. It took all the merchants together in an unified merchant cope to make a 3 fingers.
The system is broken, the only thing that actually works is people willing ayyys into being so Metyr can try and impress the GW and get it to return, which it never will.

Come to think of it the Elden remembrance gives us radasword or marika's hammer huh
>>
>>681215742
Yeah, that's what I'm pointing at. Not particularly Omen, but rather Crucible ties.

Bayle's from the age of dragons, when Placidussax was Elden Lord and nothing really seemed to talk about the Crucible. Isn't it odd that the guy that took him out was specifically a new evolution of dragon that has horns all over and uses magic wings similar to Aspect of the Crucible stuff?
>>
>>681215953
Radasword is understandable but Marika's hammer was presumably just a normal hammer beforehand. I would have expected it to give the sword or Elden Stars, with the hammer being found by the anvil in the arena after the boss kill.
>>
>>681216274

>>681216179
Oh I see
Is the crucible a thing that has will? I thought it was just the nature of mutations appearing as a force of nature, sort of like Godwyn being a thing that is not driven by will but mindlessly replicates and corrupts
Despite birthing all these drakes, none of them share his unique properties and they all look like Greyoll
He's certainly an odd drake though

We don't even know what omens truly are and the GO believes it to be a curse as it strikes humans and demigods and turns them into horrible flabby masses of horns and tails.
Yes of course they're related to hornsent but the DLC only cements that they are indeed the result of a curse as the hornsent certainly have cause to curse Marika and her lineage. But while hornsent are something fairly natural..as natural as a eugenics driven society could be, omen are something that strike peoples who are if anything, aggressively practicing anti-crucible eugenics.

They couldn't be more different honestly. It leans heavily into Hebrew religion, not to mention how the Flame of Frenzy operates, with our knowledge through both Ymir, Hyetta and Midra, the frenized flame eliminates personality, you become a host for it. The end goal is to extinguish all life, even spirits shall vanish in the heat of the frenzied flame. but you fail at this as Melina is still alive, for example. It just shows that the frenzied flame is a continous concept in action, a cycle in of itself that doesn't end.
