I love he doesn't give a dialog, he just stares at you, knowing it's a fight.

Him holding the hammer up while the theme plays is raw asf, still gives me goosebumps

Keep this in mind. Everytime you die to Radagon, He's not killing you. He's just smithing you to become a better warrior. Isn't that nice of him?

1:47 He looks downright heroic there. What a badass cutscene

Always got depressed when seeing bosses in this series, they’re like old people in a retirement home and must be thrilled when they get a visitor.

I'm just wondering how disgustingly overpowered Radagon would've been in his prime. Like we're fighting less than a shell of his former self. He would've been an absolute monster in his prime

1:48 Elden Lord Radagon accepting his Game Of The Year Award.

Such a strange spectacle. You go from fighting something that's falling apart and barely keeping itself together, to something that looks like it hasn't really yet been born. The Elden Beast has this pre-born, fetus-like quality, likely the seemingly transparent skin and the strange veins running through like an undeveloped nervous or circulatory system.

The background in the Elden Beast fight is absolutely stunning. And that theme too, so majestic!

Dark Souls -- praise the Sun Bloodborne -- hail the Moonlight Elden Ring -- freaking epic stars and cosmos fight

I'm obsessed with that first high note after the Beast's hand appears. A lesser game would introduce their final mostrosity with a driving or aggressive track. But that quiet thoughtfulness as this alien being unfurls before us is just sublime.

1:48 The most epic moment in gaming ever.

1:48 for those who want a replay button

The elden beast reminds me of the forest god from Princess Mononoke

1:48 the best part of the entire game imo

Radagons' cutscene is easily top 3 best(2nd being Malenia's and 3rd is Godrick's second phase). While their voice lines in their cutscenes are awesome, Radagon's pure silence, with him just raising the hammer up and looking back at you was BADASS. Just Two badass heroes about to duke it out to see who will be the wielder of the elden ring.

"You have defeated me, you truly are the Elden Ring"

The Elden Beast fight is one of the most beautiful fight I have ever seen. Geez just look at how visually stunning all its attacks are.

1:49 me back in childhood, when i found a cool stick

I love how Radagon’s stare says so much without any words. It’s almost like he’s holding up that hammer as if to say “So you’ve come for the throne of Elden Lord? Fine. Come and take it, Tarnished.” With the main theme playing it’s just incredibly epic. God, I love this game.

We are witnessing the birth of yet another souls game main character John Ring

It's cool how for the final bosses we get a standard epic humanoid fight, and then an awesome spectacle fight. It was sort of like that in sekiro with divine dragon and isshin.

The music gave me goosebumps...what an amazing game, truly a goty material.

this cut scene will go down as one of the greatest ever . Radagon proudly holding his hammer and the epic music kicks in just absolutely goosbumpfull

Also, the Composer of the soundtrack for this game is absolutely fucking phenomenal and beautiful

The opening cutscene when the music kicks in is enough to show that this man is the top dog

This is certainly the most beautiful boss fight I've ever seen, So poetic, quiet and powerful at both time

This is a game I would say deserved the whole $60. What a magnificent game.

Beating the elden beast left such a badass feeling of triumph, going through both these guys and coming out on top with no flasks or anything is truly the best feeling

You know the boss is powerful when one of its attacks consists on creating a cloud of stars and then collapsing them

Something about the Elden Beast is just mesmerizing and beautiful. And with the soundtrack too, it really feels like some grand cosmic being that isn't necessarily good or evil, it just exists as something beyond comprehension.

This game truly deserve #1 Game Of The Year.

God I absolutely love the Elden Beast. it's a satisfying climax, but most of all you get to learn the truth of the world, and why everything happened the way it did. it was all about ambition, the ambition to assimilate itself with it's surroundings and to take over the world of humans, and expelling this parasite demonstrates the power of humanity very well. also the message "God Slain" is by FAR the most satisfying thing i have seen in a fromsoft game

The real elden ring are the friends we made along the way

The tarnished’s goal: to stand before the Elden ring. To become Elden lord The Hallucigenia’s goal: to manipulate the human brain. To become last boss.

The moment when he holds the hammer up and the music kicks in is badass af

This boss looks like an interpretation of the Laniakea Supercluster that we live in, I didn't see the resemblance until the design of this last boss. That would be amazing!

Kind of cool to see that attacks from some other Fromsoft bosses are mixed in. I saw the fire attack of the twin demon princes in DS3, the Nameless King's diving sweep attack, and the divine dragon's ranged swipes from Sekiro.

The first time I fought this guy I just got a burst of adrenaline as soon as I heard his theme and it was an amazing feeling. It felt like I've slain beasts, demigods, monsters and ghouls and this was my final test (I'm talking about Radagon not Elden Beast. Honestly they shoulda just kept it at Radagon)

It's so epic to hear the main theme played in Final Boss Fight. I regret a little that I watched this video without playing Elden Ring, but I'm honored to see this beautiful fight. I will definitely play it someday.

Here's an amazing lore theory credit goes to Ryō Marika is a god who was sent by the Greater Will to rule over the Lands Between. She is linked/part of the Elden Ring. The Elden Ring is something that guides all life with multiple concepts such as life, death, time, gravity and etc. This Natural order became known as the Golden Order. The Elden Ring is located at the base of the Erdtree which connects all living things. The Elden Beast was the vassal beast of the Greater Will and the living incarnation of the concept of order. The Greater Will is an outer god and a fundamental force of the universe. The Outer Gods are external forces that influence the world. Mogh was involved with another outer god called the 'Formless Mother' who bestows power unto those with accursed blood. The Flame of Frenzy and the Scarlet Rot are also referenced to be products of the outer gods. Just like the Elden Ring is a product of the Greater Will. Godfrey rose up to become the First Elden Lord. Becoming the Elden Lord means becoming betrothed in a sense to Marika, most likely being chose for his strength. Godfrey has children with her: Godwyn, Godrick, Morgott and Mogh. People forget that Morgott's remembrance proves that he is part of the Golden Lineage which is Godfrey's offspring. That's why Godfrey appeared to be very close with Morgott since he's his son. However in a neighboring kingdom Caria, a prodigy in star sorcery Rennala became queen and attracted the attention of Marika. Marika then assumed a male form of a champion, Radagon. Radagon then seduced Rennala and had children with her: Radahn, Rykard, Ranni. Marika impregnated Rennala so that she could have more children that can one day replace her because she didn't have an Empyrean child with Godfrey (Empyreans are individuals that the Greater Will identified to be possible successors to Marika as the vessels of the Elden Ring). Since we learn that Marika somewhat hates her existence because she is a puppet to the Greater Will. And she was successful because Ranni was born an Empyrean. Godfrey later found out of this betrayal because she basically cheated on him. Godfrey was then banished (tarnished) from the Lands Between in the ensuing drama and because he's already finished his usefulness to Marika after ending the war with the giants. Needing stability and an Elden Lord to rule over the land. Marika told the people that Radagon would be her new husband. Since they were now technically "married". Radahn, Rykard and Ranni now joined the royal family at Leyndell. This explains why Radahn and etc. are considered Demigods when Radagon and Rennala are supposed to be humans. That's because Radagon is Marika herself who is a god therefore he made demigod children with Rennala. Now I don't know how Marika did it, some lore indicates she can split her body in two, one for Marika and one for Radagon but she was able to asexually reproduce with herself. The resulting children were both Empyreans cursed with an affliction. Malenia with the Scarlet Rot and Miquella who is stuck in a child's body. Marika however did not want her children to succumb to death so she removed a fragment of the death rune from the elden ring and gave it to Maliketh, her shadow and personal assassin. So that her demigod children may live eternally. Eventually, Ranni wishing to usher in the age of stars stole the rune of death from Maliketh and created daggers allowing the demigods to be killed. A ritual was performed killing her and Godwyn at the same time, she lost her body but kept her soul in a doll. Godwyn kept his body but lost his soul. Ranni wanted to get rid of her body because she wanted to deny the the greater will and her empyrean flesh. Since Godwyn and Ranni were first to die they each became halves to a rune of death. Godwyn's death became the final straw for Marika and she lost is at the death of her children. Becoming unhinged and shattering the Elden Ring. The remaining demigod children waged war and each claimed shards of the Elden Ring for power. No one won however and now we inhabit a fractured world without the natural order. As tarnished we are exiles who return to gather the fragments of the Elden Ring to restore order to the world. Whichever order that may be whether it be the age of fracture, age of the duskborn, age of stars, age of chaos and etc.

Beat this fight with 5 hit points remaining, most stressful boss in the entire game what a way to end a masterpiece of a game.

I don't care what anyone says, this is definitely my favourite fight in the game.

I was fighting elden beast yesterday. I had a moment where elden beast was just a few hit left, and i still got a plenty of estus. I could end the fight and end the game if i want to, but man the Elden Beast is just too majestic and beautiful. I legit just walked around the arena, watching the Elden Beast casting its attack to my buddy mimic tear. This boss is just too beautiful, I don't want it to end, and yes I mean it. I ended up using the darksign to teleport back and redo both phases and it was worth it.

I must say that Radagon sure knows how to make a power move and I love every second of his fight

The soundtrack for the Elden beast fight really adds this somber elegance to it, it’s such a euphoric feeling fighting some cosmic god being to such an incredible ensemble that is this track

I gotta say this game has some of the best boss cutscenes to date. Margott, Malenia, Godfrey and then Radagon. Man I got chills when the screen cut to a close up of the hammer and a remix of the main theme bellowed out while the camera zoomed out on Radagon hoisting the hammer. Bravo man. 👏👏👏

Cant believe that the final boss has been shown in the first trailer, Miyazaki you are a legend !

I really admire people who are willing to go through this stress to play and finish this game! I can never do it.

Who would have thought that the final Boss is the one who gave Ymir Fritz her powers.

He's not beating us with a hammer. He's forging us into the greatest elden lord

Hands down one of the best boss theme in the history of games.

He's... Only walking.. Like The nameless king

FromSoftware just knows how to finish off every game with a fucking banger dude. I don't know what else to say apart from the fact that Elden Beast is one of the most badass bosses I've seen.

They totally nailed that Boss entry

Just seeing the first transformation of humanoid dying and being turned into the sword itself for the actual power of the being was something new and fucking pure to me

4:13 the healing curse

Lets look at the checklist 1. Nimble, seemingly humanoid boss with highly telegraphed but punishing moveset ✅ 2. AoE, delayed attacks that keeps you on your toe ✅ 3. Friggin lightning stake, lightning spear, and teleportation ✅ 4. Phase 2 is giant celestial winged worm with a sword and can fly ✅ Wow fromsoft, just wow...

I think the last four boss fights of the game are all really cool, I just wish From could’ve spaced them out a bit more. The fact that you have to fight all of them in a row is pretty draining and takes away from the final spectacle imo

I just beat the game. I replayed the cut scene for Radagon 10-15 times. Simply epic. Greatest game I’ve ever played.

Amazing final boss, for an awesome game, bravo 👏 FromSoftware

Wow the choice of music for this boss fight this is a masterpiece one of the best boss fights

This game really make you feel like a winner when you complete it. Its just something different

1:59 coldest moment in any video game

This is cosmic level of boss battle. I haven't reach this point in the game cuz it took time to defeat some bosses and I think I'm not ready for this. 😆

Shirrako please come out of your room your family misses you

07:07 what the hell did you expect xD

Elden Ring got ROBBED on best AUDIO. The theme send shivers on my spine.

Demihumans at 9:00 be like "Fuck i guess we fighting literall god now..."

So this is basically Andre the smith and Loch Ness the monster fighting with their true strength.

This boss cinematic along with the score is absolutely next level. It not only reminds me of an epic boss battle from sega/nintendo era but of course with a more modern touch and look. Brilliant.

beating these bosses back to back the first time solo was tough, but after putting down my summon sign and helping others fight it a few times, now the fight is SUPER fun. like it's insanely satisfying to dodge attacks i once thought were impossible to avoid.

“What are we? Some kind of Elden Ring?”

Could we get a full loadout set up with your stats, weapons, and armor?

The part where he stares at you and the golden order symbol starts glowing and the music at the same time literal perfection

The way they fit the main theme into both phases to match the characters was something else

Radagon is literally my favorite fight in a from gameI just love the black and white with bits of red and gold in the fight makes it very bleak but also really pretty

3:00 - 3:28is perfect and in sync with the music

When the beat drop goes on the Elden beast at 5:46 something inside me calls out in wonder. Really compels me to beat margit 😅

Has anyone tried counting the Erdtrees in the background? How many are there? It doesn't seem like it's "as far as the eye can see", but that it's a very specific number instead.

That OST at 2:39 ugh hits so hard.

the second phase is like that forest god in hayao miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke - that transparentness and the branches of lights within. Peak character design.

Perfect definition of one sight, no words spoken, just hands

3:25 that timing with the music hits me right in the great rune

from software is the only develper to ad a second boss fight directly after a 2 phase boss fight. Vicotry is on obtainable for the people who truly sacrifice

Wow.. His design kinda reminds me of Thor from Record of Ragnarok.

I just noticed that you can see the hair turn from blond to red when at 1:35! Real nice detail here

the music when he holds up the hammer reminds me of another badass character entrance in anime i cant remember

3:43 attacks bring me back sekiro divine dragon memories

One of my favorite final boss fights ever. Both elden beast and Radagon are incredible

The Elden Beast is by far one of the most visually stunning things FromSoft has ever created. It’s such a departure from the withered god-kings and forlorn heroes we face as the last challenge, it is an eldritch angel in the form of the Laniakea Supercluster unleashing the calm might of the universe on us for having the gall to proclaim ourselves it’s rightful vessel.

Finally a video where in the ending when you sit in the throne the character doesn’t look like a smurf on meth

The music and visuals of elden beast is just stunning. wow.

8:06 WHAT IN THE EARTH THEY WERE THINKING WITH THAT FUCKING ATTACK?

Cutscenes gave me chills first time I fought him, and I had a very small grasp on the actual full story. But the design, music and lore of Radagon being a puppet for the greater will makes it amazing

The menu theme as the final boss theme, so cool!! I haven't seen that since metroid prime 2 echoes

BEAUTIFUL just......*CLAPPING* Not just the game but how Shirrako give it respect... RESPECT to him and the story. Brava!.......BRAVA......😎👍🍷

It’s like the forest spirit from Princess Monanoke, ten tailed beast from Natuto and an angel from Evangelion all in one

there is something so mythical and poetic about a broken man raising a hammer

Absolutely epic battle and I love how on top of it all you were one shot at the very end lol I was on the edge of my seat
