In comes a much more Catholic/Aristotelian view as the past is erased. No more need for strange finger creatures or their withered husks to read them the Greater Will takes things into their own hands directly now. Out goes the strange freemason/alchemic references in regards to how radagon/marika/elden beast and the ring operate in regards to the Greater Will where there is a “blind watchmaker” who just leaves things be after it Creates. No more super powered pagan-style “gods,” no more magic, no more war, no more manipulation of the most basic tenets of Reality, just the Greater Will and its Church. So what goldmask wants is what the Greater Will wants: to repair the ring then prevent it from ever being changed or damaged again in the process removing all the terrifying “fantasy” elements of the world and grounding everything. The world only believes the Greater Will has forsaken it, when in Reality the Greater Will has rejected the world and demands a new one. The elden beast is no longer needed because the perfect ring cannot be changed and so can never be put in danger again, so it needs no manifestation. Radagon loses his life but gains a world where we need no more warriors like him. Goldmask loses his attachment to the world but gains knowledge beyond it. For the Good of all, there need to be sacrifices. There is no other option than for the Greater Will to step in and take full control instead of just letting things run themselves into the ground. As it is the world had no gods, just belligerent superheroes turned villains. Why did even that fail? Because the “gods” are not just fickle like men, they ARE just men. She was already on the way out before ranni’s schemes were even considered. Radagon was originally chosen to be a great, all-encompassing powerhouse so he could be joined to marika. This isn’t even the first time something like this had to happen either. The Greater Will brings back the tarnished because their suffering made them humble and therefore worthy where the “gods” never could be. The Greater Will gives vision to many seeing the erdtree burned, because it will no longer be needed in the new order. The Greater Will is punishing marika, radagon and the elden dragon are holding marika in place just long enough to be overcome. The Greater Will is tired of having basic necessities of life beholden to the whims of men. all this because of two control-hungry women who can’t just let things be how they should. marika shattered the ring because ranni murdered her favorite son. Goldmask doesn’t care about himself, through his detachment goldmask never speaks because his listens. but we can't know for sure.Īfter a lot of thought, many of the comments here are totally wrong and about two are correct. Seems like a solid ending assuming the Greater Will isn't an evil being. The Mending Rune seems to imply it would prevent the acting God (probably Marika since we kill Radagon) from manipulating the concepts on a whim. side-note: I am unsure of what to believe of Radagon's origins, whether he was a separate entity from Marika to begin with, only assimilating with her in order to prevent the destruction of the Elden Ring, or if the whole Mimic + Mimic Veil theory makes as much sense. It is likely because of him that the Misbegotten, Albinaurics and Omen were outcast and why Morgott and Mohg were shut into the sewers. It's hard to tell since we don't quite fully know either of their motives outside of pure speculation, but I'd go with Radagon since the age seemed to be turning over to the Golden Order (the Age of the Erdtree being before and during the early stages of Radagon being 2nd Elden Lord iirc), and we know Radagon has heavy influence on the Elden Ring due to seeing his symbol holding the fractured pieces together on the main menu. The Gods that are fickle are most likely Marika or Radagon.
