All things point to Messmer but has FromSoftware pulled a bait and switch? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<h2>Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree final boss: What do we know?<\/h2>\n<p>There is now official confirmation that <strong>the final boss in Shadow of the Erdtree is in fact, Radahn<\/strong>.

I hear you ask.<\/p>\n<p>Well, while it\u2019s not that far-fetched for bosses to come back over and over, since Radahn\u2019s battle was so epic and seemingly finite, many thought he was dead and buried for good.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-335740\" alt=\"radahn and malenia in elden ring\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-260x146.jpg 260w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-1568x882.jpg 1568w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-335740\" src=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring.jpg\" alt=\"radahn and malenia in elden ring\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-260x146.jpg 260w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/readwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/radahn-elden-ring-1568x882.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, when you dive into the lore, it is pretty reasonable to assume Radahn can make a comeback in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why this is is because when you defeat Radahn, and his remains get consumed by Iron Fist Alexander, it opens up the opportunity for Miquella to bring him into the Shadow Realm, since you must divest yourself of flesh to enter.<\/p>\n<p>This also makes sense since you must kill Radahn to even be able to access the DLC. If this weren\u2019t the case, the already somewhat confusing lore would be thrown completely out of the window.<\/p>\n<p>When we piece all of the lore together for ourselves, we\u2019ll hopefully be able to provide the exact explanation for why Radahn is back.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just starting out on your Shadow Realm adventure, check out our guide on how to get <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/how-to-get-scadutree-fragments-elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree\/\">Scadutree Fragments<\/a> so you can boost your stats.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/who-is-the-elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree-final-boss\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] As you progress through Shadow of the Erdtree, Elden Ring\u2019s one and only DLC, you\u2019ll soon realize that there are once again, a bunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234939,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234938"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
