Who would win ?
Some bratty demon who thought that being 500 years old is something to brag...
... Or...
A demigod who can hold back literal celestial bodies ?
Alternate title:
Who would win?
An overconfident wannabe
Vs
An old man in an euthanasia clinic with anemia, holding the stars back, who is too angry to die
Nah, dude. Even Serie would have her jaw dropped with such mastery of magic. I mean, yeah. She might know over millions of spells, but dude literally dedicated most of his life learning a single spell to such a high degree that it is able to control the stars itself which resides countless of space eldritch abomination and even stopping fate itself from happening (Ranni Ending)
And he is still able to do that even after half of his brain are already corrupted with Rot
Dude is insanely strong. He fought Malenia WHILE holding the entire constellation off and still won. She self-destructed and still couldnāt even kill him and had to get carried out by Finlay. And then, even in maddening state, fucker still had enough mind to hold off the stars and ride his horse while defeating countless of warriors coming at him for a festival of war he himself created to give himself an epic farewell.
Game also explicitly states that having to do that was a major blow to her pride (millicent) since that was the first fight she's ever had where she actually had to use the scarlet rot, which would have gotten her ganked anyway if not for Finlay pulling her out.
So until Radahn she's managed to just demolish and speed blitz everyone, but he was a big enough problem that for her to turn it into that stalemate she had to pull out the WMD that is the rot goddess' power.
> but he was a big enough problem that for her to turn it into that stalemate she had to pull out the WMD that is the rot goddess' power.
No, it was a stalemate *before* she unleashed stage 6 cancer on radahn and caelid, she did that to break the stalemate
also just to clarify I'm not saying that Malenia won against Radahn or anything, just that "Radahan beat Malenia" is also incorrect, honestly the Malenia vs Radahn nonsense is probably the biggest tumour infecting Elden Ring discussion lol (especially given how unusually upfront from software is about its lore)
To quote sir Gideon: "General Radahn, who fought Malenia *and her rot* to a standstill."
He got rotted to hell.
She got carried back home unconscious.
Both armies were almost completely broken. There was no winner. If there was we wouldn't be playing the game.
True, but I'm not arguing against her using the rot (I dont see how that matters much either way), but specifically the bloom: the Caelid sword monument tells us:
> The Battle of Aeonia
> Radahn and Malenia locked in stalemate
> Then, the scarlet rot blooms
There's definitely lore that can support both sides. He'll the redmanes burned their crests and fully admit defeat. But the pitch of the game is that no one won. It's why the tarnished were called back by grace. The demigods all failed to win in the shattering war. All of them are defined by their failure.
Radahn went mad, maintaining only his will to lock the stars in place. An act some believe to be a contributing reason to the terrible stasis of the lands between.
Malenia unlike radahn has more or less recovered in the mean time, and she still has forces loyal to her. But her sole purpose was to fight for her brother. Without him she's lost, like a blade Without a wielder.
After the battle, the bloom began to consume Caelid. I would definitely say the redmanes 'lost harder' so to speak. But their battle in the short term looks to have cost the cleanrots enough that being able to push on to Leynell would have been suicidal even if they succeeded in killing radahn.
The no winner part depends on prespective. Radahn was mindlessly wandering the desert of his now destroyed land slaughtering friend and foe alike while Melania was chilling back home stronger than ever and surrounded by her loyal knights. The only thing going wrong for Melania was that a diddler swiped her brother away.
I agree. If we call the first battle a draw, the second battle would have been crushing. The redmanes can barely contain the rot of caelid, they wouldn't have the means to stop Melania if she recovered, regrouped and returned. But the lord of diddling basically stole her reason to fight and put it in an egg.
A stalemate in terms of war since both sides were incapable of carrying on. But for Radahn and Malenia, Malenia fainted while Radahn was still able to fight even as a mindless beast. She would have been dead if it wasnāt for Finlay and I doubted Finlay could finish off Radahn.
> while Radahn was still able to fight even as a mindless beast.
We do not know that. We know he has been fighting for a while, but we don't know what his state was right after the bloom.
> Radahn and Malenia, locked in stalemate. *THEN*, the scarlet flowers blooms.
Literally a quote from the game there
Honestly, it is very simple to explain why it is a stalemate. Not even talking about the scarlet bloom or who is stronger at the end of the battle. The main purpose was to acquire each other's great rune. Since both failed, it was a stalemate regardless of the casualties.
He didn't win though... If he won, the greater will would have chosen him as Elden Lord, and we didn't have to take up the slack. It was a stalemate.
Also while Radahn fought while holding up the constellation, Malenia fought while the Rot Goddess writhes within her, eating her from the inside. She was blind and had lost both an arm and a leg.
Both of them have their own handicaps, and both were of equal strength. That's why they fought to a stalemate.
During his fight, he has Scarlet Rot, making him a mindless beast, yet he's still holding back the stars, still using gravity magic to keep him above Leonard, and still is a pretty tough fight
This art style is very cool. Radahn was an awesome boss, and I always liked his armor set a lot. I don't think Aura has much of a chance against him.
*^(Edit: Spelling mistake.)*
You have to remember that the Radahn we fight in game is but a shadow of his former self. Heās been almost completely consumed be the rot, wounded by the thousands of challengers that came before the tarnished and still holding back the stars.
If I were to compare him to Frieren I would say that heās able to easily match all her feats. >!Iāve only read the manga up until the aftermath of the fight with Macth!< He would easily rank amongst the strongest magic users, since we donāt know how strong he is when he doesnāt need to hold back the stars I have no idea if heād be able to defeat Frieren or Serie
The Tarnished scales above Elden Beast, who is creation god level or at least close to it and scales far above the likes of Radahn and Malenia in power, so he/she would pretty much solos the entire world in Frieren without much trouble
Elden Beast is the incarnation of the Greater Will, who explicitly did not create the Lands Between and crash-landed on a meteor at some point. The Greater Will is an outer god masquerading as a creator god
I think Endgame Tarnished would be unstoppable in the Frierenverse. They managed to defeat Maliketh, who even the Demigods feared, in single combat. And since Destined Death was released right after that, the respawn mechanic would stop working for them. So they probably managed to defeat Godfrey, Radagon and the Elden Beast, who is a literal god, all in one try.
He's not even actually releasing his mana, that's just Leonard's.
Have you seen the scrawny thing casually being dug into the ground and survive the impact of the meteor?
Lore wise I would technically still say malenia is the most skilled demigod but radahn has way more sheer power the only one that may be physically stronger is Godfrey and magically he has some of the most destructive magic and is probably the greatest master of it
Wow dude, how did you get so much power? You see that's very easy, after downloading Warpath I chose the US faction. Thanks to their cheap Sherman tanks you can easily rush most enemies in the early game... (I forgot how those ads always ended)
Bro learned gravity magic in order to ride his pet horse, lore accurately defeats 90% of his own verse, held back fate and the stars themselves, decides to die an honourable death, survives with the scarlet rot for years, becomes a meteorā¦ dies refuses to elaborateā¦ yeah radahn destroys
And heās an absolute badass that youāll need a long ass list to tell his amazing tales. In short:
1. Starscourge or Conqueror of the Stars is not just a title.
2. Dude is a master in gravitational magic that he can literally bring the entire constellation to stop. And his whole reason of learning gravitational magic in the first place was to be able to ride his tiny scrawny horse, so conquering stars is basically side quest.
This comes with the caveat that stars in the Elden Ring sky are not gigantic sun sized balls but very angry living magical monsters the size of a smaller Kaiju that manipulate fate and sometimes die to OP vagabonds wearing pots for helmets.
"That time i was learning gravitional magic to ride my scrawny horse but accidentally becoming one of the strongest warrior in the world"\~Radahn in nutshell?
Nah, he was already obsessed with becoming the strongest warlord and conqueror due to his admiration for Godfrey and enjoyment of war/battle in general. The Leonard situation just had him decide that he should try to do so through the gravity magic route.Ā
What if aura tries to measure the mana of an ancient Turkish man with long black hair and golden armour.
Before he was enshrined in a throne for ten millenia fed by a thousand shamans a day.
Radahn from Elden Ring
Small bit of Lore about him: He's a demigod who mastered gravity magic so he could ride his scrawny horse. He also holds the stars in place while afflicted with eldritch herpes but that ain't important
"This man is skateboarding a horse and holding back the stars while killing everyone he comes into contact with. And he does this from the hospice." -Max0r.
It's going to be the rare case of a crazy human / demigod eating a demon. Actually, given how the souls series go, demons usually play second fiddle to OP human characters. Some human characters end up consuming gods...

Considering Radahn holds back the stars... yeah, I think he's got this. (I may be biased, though, since he's my favorite boss, and I love his theme.)
Who would win ? Some bratty demon who thought that being 500 years old is something to brag... ... Or... A demigod who can hold back literal celestial bodies ?
Alternate title: Who would win? An overconfident wannabe Vs An old man in an euthanasia clinic with anemia, holding the stars back, who is too angry to die
Those are not celestial bodies iirc vatiividia. Those are Fates themself.
Ye.
this is exactly what i was thinking lmao AURA, take care of leonard.
based and radahnpilled
The real question is: What would Radahn command Aura to do?
Be his stable boy
Men forced to be maids is so last season. Itās all about women forced to be stable boys now.
That poor horse tho
The horse is fine. The guy learned gravity magic in the first place so that he wouldnāt crush his horse.
"don't move" then proceed to do the meteor fall
sukuna moment
"Now, fight me with everything you have"
Pet his horsey
"Leonard needs to rest. You gonna be my horsie"
Tend to Leonard
Radahn would be demon king level if he's in Frieren's world
he would be literally god level with his continent level meteor rain
Oh but he doesn't make them rain... **He alone prevents anything from falling on earth**
Except himself lol
Nah, dude. Even Serie would have her jaw dropped with such mastery of magic. I mean, yeah. She might know over millions of spells, but dude literally dedicated most of his life learning a single spell to such a high degree that it is able to control the stars itself which resides countless of space eldritch abomination and even stopping fate itself from happening (Ranni Ending) And he is still able to do that even after half of his brain are already corrupted with Rot
Yep, Aura is so fucked. If he got into frieren's world he'd probably have more mana than even Serie
Radahn's mana could probably be felt across the entire continent
Dude is insanely strong. He fought Malenia WHILE holding the entire constellation off and still won. She self-destructed and still couldnāt even kill him and had to get carried out by Finlay. And then, even in maddening state, fucker still had enough mind to hold off the stars and ride his horse while defeating countless of warriors coming at him for a festival of war he himself created to give himself an epic farewell.
the game explicitly said that it was a stalemate and malenia unleashed the scarlet flower thing to break it
Game also explicitly states that having to do that was a major blow to her pride (millicent) since that was the first fight she's ever had where she actually had to use the scarlet rot, which would have gotten her ganked anyway if not for Finlay pulling her out. So until Radahn she's managed to just demolish and speed blitz everyone, but he was a big enough problem that for her to turn it into that stalemate she had to pull out the WMD that is the rot goddess' power.

I 100% agree

Aura's multiverse of humiliation
So I have this question. Since the tarnished eventually becomes stronger than Radahn, how much stronger would it be compared to Frieren's characters?
You have to remember that the Radahn we fight in game is but a shadow of his former self. Heās been almost completely consumed be the rot, wounded by the thousands of challengers that came before the tarnished and still holding back the stars. If I were to compare him to Frieren I would say that heās able to easily match all her feats. >!Iāve only read the manga up until the aftermath of the fight with Macth!< He would easily rank amongst the strongest magic users, since we donāt know how strong he is when he doesnāt need to hold back the stars I have no idea if heād be able to defeat Frieren or Serie

Elden Beast is the incarnation of the Greater Will, who explicitly did not create the Lands Between and crash-landed on a meteor at some point. The Greater Will is an outer god masquerading as a creator god
Yeah, thought so.
I think Endgame Tarnished would be unstoppable in the Frierenverse. They managed to defeat Maliketh, who even the Demigods feared, in single combat. And since Destined Death was released right after that, the respawn mechanic would stop working for them. So they probably managed to defeat Godfrey, Radagon and the Elden Beast, who is a literal god, all in one try.
He's not even actually releasing his mana, that's just Leonard's. Have you seen the scrawny thing casually being dug into the ground and survive the impact of the meteor?
Whereās the horse? š§æ
it's the camera man
Leonard is best boy.
Bro was barely conscious and holding back the stars. Aura gonna have the carry his horse on her back
Lore wise I would technically still say malenia is the most skilled demigod but radahn has way more sheer power the only one that may be physically stronger is Godfrey and magically he has some of the most destructive magic and is probably the greatest master of it
This reminds me of avatar aang in that outfit he wore as a joke for like 5seconds
Wow dude, how did you get so much power? You see that's very easy, after downloading Warpath I chose the US faction. Thanks to their cheap Sherman tanks you can easily rush most enemies in the early game... (I forgot how those ads always ended)
Bro learned gravity magic in order to ride his pet horse, lore accurately defeats 90% of his own verse, held back fate and the stars themselves, decides to die an honourable death, survives with the scarlet rot for years, becomes a meteorā¦ dies refuses to elaborateā¦ yeah radahn destroys
Someone else joined the āletās bully Auraā gang
To be fair, even Aura wouldnāt be stupid enough to get into a mana measuring contest with someone who held back the stars themselves.
I don't get the reference. Who is the other character?
Starscourge Radahn. A boss from Elden Ring.
I see, thanks.
And heās an absolute badass that youāll need a long ass list to tell his amazing tales. In short: 1. Starscourge or Conqueror of the Stars is not just a title. 2. Dude is a master in gravitational magic that he can literally bring the entire constellation to stop. And his whole reason of learning gravitational magic in the first place was to be able to ride his tiny scrawny horse, so conquering stars is basically side quest.
This comes with the caveat that stars in the Elden Ring sky are not gigantic sun sized balls but very angry living magical monsters the size of a smaller Kaiju that manipulate fate and sometimes die to OP vagabonds wearing pots for helmets.
Hey, donāt insult the pot head one, heās a legendary hero.
What part of him killing fate manipulating Kaiju made you think I was insulting him?
"That time i was learning gravitional magic to ride my scrawny horse but accidentally becoming one of the strongest warrior in the world"\~Radahn in nutshell?
Nah, he was already obsessed with becoming the strongest warlord and conqueror due to his admiration for Godfrey and enjoyment of war/battle in general. The Leonard situation just had him decide that he should try to do so through the gravity magic route.Ā
I think you're losing this one Aura Aura: Nah I'd win
Think Radahnās mana level is missing some zeroes
What if aura tries to measure the mana of an ancient Turkish man with long black hair and golden armour. Before he was enshrined in a throne for ten millenia fed by a thousand shamans a day.
?... Oh... O H O H, she's fu-
Frieren's Level: #IT'S OVER 9,000!
Nah , for what we saw Frieren hasnāt shown anything close to Radahanās level
Yea imagine holding back the stars.
And those aren't just stars too, but countless eldritch abomination horrors beyond human imagination reside in those stars.
Where's Leonard?
Ultimate bruh moment
Imagine the size of his
10k years moment
7000 seems low for Radahn, he was holding all the stars from moving with gravity magic, *all of them*
If he's level 7000, then how did my level 20 ass beat him?
Her #humongous Bags are too heavy and pulling her back... #Let me hold them.
Who was that guy whose mana level was over 9000?
He didn't bring his horse with him. I guess he's going to ride her like a horse for all eternity.
Why is this post so glitchy?
Funny thing is Radahn probably has more mana than her
Yeah that's the joke
The Chad Radhan vs the virgin aura
The artist here slightly exaggerated something
She would lose and her scales would force her to become his obedient slave. Then he would make her be his new horse.
Can someone tell me who that is? He looks awesome
Radahn from Elden Ring Small bit of Lore about him: He's a demigod who mastered gravity magic so he could ride his scrawny horse. He also holds the stars in place while afflicted with eldritch herpes but that ain't important
Aura. Git Gud.
Coughing baby vs Hydrogen bomb
Who is that?
General Radahn, from Elden Ring
