Imagine if the final Battle would have been Malenia with Miquella against the Tarnished with Ranni if you so choose her. I still think it was a mistake to not make Malenia Miquellas chosen consort.
The Darkmoon Geatsword is an obvious choice but I love that the other weapon is the Godslayer Greatsword. Both because it's my absolute favorite weapon in the game, but also because it just plain makes sense. The Tarnished kills gods. It's a god-slaying sword. Peanut butter, meet jelly. And now i want a power stance weapon art for the two. Launch a moonlight blade to stagger the target-> leap forward -> Queen's Black Flame to knock them away -> vertical moonlight blade finisher.
"This little transgression of yours has gone far enough! You truly believe yourself worthy to stand before us?! To break apart an era of peace and tranquility?! In your enless pursuit for power, you never even realized the damages that you have done. So come. Prove yourself in the face of the stars and the moon eternal. Show us what your selfish conquest has brought!!"
It would be at least interesting if the final boss of each ng+ was our character from the last run with his final perspective. For example, at the end of the stars the one in the video, or else a lord of the frenzied flame. You don't even need to pull all the equipment, just a boss ready, but representing your past end. It would be insane, and would show something like an endless cycle, which would perhaps escape the theme of the game.
"Miquella. Thou wert once known as kindly and tender. Thou hast given much for this gentle world thou hast envisioned. But thou hast taken more. And thou seeketh to take more still. An age of coerced compassion? I think not. Behold! Thou standeth before the lord consort of the chill night! He who walks in the shadow of the dark moon! Frozen blade of the Lunar Princess Ranni, who will bring about an age of true freedom from all that seeks to bind us! Bow thine head, and let my lady ferry her brother's soul to his eternal rest."
This goes hard would love the art+music to be a background on like wallpaper engine or something. Increasing the tempo as the video gets further in and I can almost picture the boss fight.
"Yield the path forward to us, to I, Miquella, and my promised consort, Radahn" "..." The Tarnished says nothing in return. Instead, upon his right hand came forth a a large blade, deep and dark, not unlike the chill night sky. With his left hand, he draws an elegant spiraling scepter, decorated with azure glintstone. A cold mist begins to surround the Tarnished, and upon his back, a spectral figure of a lady in blue appears, three of her arms gently embracing him, while one is raised in the air. In the next moment, a dark moon manifests and looms above the Tarnished, exuding a cold wind. The lady embracing the Tarnished speaks. "O brother, a thousand year voyage beneath thine tyranny that binds with love? In sooth, it doth maketh the fear, doubt, and loneliness that the uncaring darkness that the night sky offers, much sweeter. Get thee gone, Miquella, thou vilipender of truth, lest I, Ranni of the Dark Moon, and my dear consort eternal, shall grant you both a death from which neither can return from". Space distorts around Radahn as gravity around him is bent to his will, while his blades begin to shine a warm golden light. In response, the Tarnished raises his blade, and it begins to emit an eerie blue glow, while the cold mist started to cover the entire arena, all the way towards the Divine Gate. The dark moon looming above him descends towards Miquella and Radahn.
My favorite armor, my favorite lady, and two swords i am aight with. It's beautiful, and honestly imagine the Radahn Mikela fight like this? Would have been fucking fire.
as awesomeas the image is, can we appreciate the fact that Dark moon Greatsword is a Str/Int (mostly Int) weapon and Godslayer's is a Dex/Faith (scaling wise) weapon. What level is this tarnished? That said, awesome song, and awesome visuals. I kinda wish that you could call in help from Ranni in the Promised Consort Rahdahn fight if you had the Dark Moon Greatsword
HEART STOLEN Or it would be, but too bad for you, "Kindly" Miquella but my heart is no longer mine to own or have stolen. Now as my blades glow washes over you, feel the warmth of the dark moon and repent.
I wish you could have become Miquella's consort in the game. I went through the entire DLC wanting to meet and ally with Miquella just to be cucked by Radahn.
I am the darkmoon blade successor Battle before me tarnished To claim the title of the true dark moon champion And claim elden ring in its new creation for i was tarnished once Come, obtain your throne....fellow elden lord
Bro imagine going up against phase 2 promised consort radahn with Ranni on your back, two beings of godlike power about to battle it out with their consorts on their back. Something just so epic and powerful in that.
Can you imagine what a moveset with the dark moon greatsword and Godslayers greatsword would be? That just sounds epic. I'd love to use both weapons as catalysts for sorceries and blackflame incantations. Moveset could be close to rellana's.
For some reason, I ways imagined the Godslaying Greatsword would be one of the canonical weapons for the tarnished. With the other being whatever ending you went for. So, like golden order dreatsword for age of perfect order, Helphen's Steeple or death ritual spear for duskborn, obviously dark moon greatsword for the age of stars and perhaps blasphemous blade for the age of curses. And maybe sacred relic sword for the age of fracture.
This actually gives me an idea for a game mechanic. What if you, the player, also had a second phase. You get two health bars, when the first one depletes, you enter your second phase that has different chosen abilities that make you stronger. Obviously, the boss would have to be scaled to accommodate it. Imagine you and the boss hit trade, and you both enter your second phase at the same time. I feel like that would go insanely hard
