The Importance of Radahn in Elden Ring

Even a FromSoftware protagonist needs a rival. In Elden Ring, that rival is Radahn - the famed Red Lion, the Starscourge, and the Promised Consort. Across two boss battles - one in the base game, and another in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the Tarnished is forced to prove themselves against the demi-god who should have been Elden Lord. And the closer you look at this legendary warrior, the more similarities you'll find between him and our player character. This video is the fifth installment in a series that will examine each of the personalities, motivations, and backstories of each of Elden Ring's key players. Published in 2022 by FromSoftware, Elden Ring is the latest dark fantasy RPG from the team that created Demon Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. This comparative essay is the next chapter in a series of videos that will examine every major character from Elden Ring, and in some cases, compare them to characters from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones.
