Many considerElden Ringto be From Software’s most approachable game. It’s more user friendly than most other open-world games, with an excellent fast travel system that can be used almost anywhere on the map.Elden Ringalso features several shortcutsand checkpoints, preventing loss of progress and allowing players to retry encounters without any issues.
However,Elden Ringis still a difficult game and has some of the most challenging bosses in any From Software title. While most of the hardest boss fights are saved for late-game areas, Starscourge Radahn acts as a massive roadblock midway through the game. This isn’t a standard boss fight, as it’s balanced around players summoning several NPCs to help take him down. Radahn also has an unusual design, and many players are now discussing an incredible detail about his feet.

As seen in the image uploaded by Tripledoble,Elden Ring’sGeneral Starscourge Radahndoes not have feet, and players are speculating about what happened to them. Most fans seem to agree that Scarlot Rot is the root cause of his missing feet, with one user giving examples of other important characters with missing limbs. Some users also believe that years of dragging his feet through sand while riding a laughingly small horse probably did this to him.
Elden Ringhas profound lore, and there is probably some info hidden away in an item’s description that hints at a possible reason for Radahn’s missing feet. A fan similarly discovered aconnection between the Golden Order Greatsword and Dark Moon Greatswordhidden in their descriptions, and it seems likeElden Ring’s lore will be a topic of discussion for months to come.
On launch, General Radahn was considered one of the most difficult and annoying bosses inElden Ring. Many thought it was an unfair fight, soFrom Software later released an update that nerfed Radahnand implemented several other balance changes. Radahn now does less damage and is more likely to target the NPCs in the area, but some fans want the developer to reverse this change as they think the Radahn fight is now way too easy.
Players can get to Radahn by either progressing through Ranni’s questline or activating the Grand Lift of Dectus. Radahn is ultimately an optional boss, but defeating him unlocks a massive underground area filled with terrifying enemies and valuable items. They also get Remembrance of the Starscourge, which can be exchanged at Roundtable Hold for either the Starscourge Greatsword or the Lion Greatbow.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
