jungtothehuimang: I knew Miyazaki wouldn't be able to resist having his own Griffith
bacon-237: "Sorry Mohg" we say in unison
ipip5516: I love how Miquella has this meta narrative of gaslighting the audience very Miyazaki
Amferam: Mohg beat the allegations! Mohg was Miqulested!
macc-qg3ku: After fighting Prime Radhan, I understand now why Malenia had to nuke Caelid.
yitoupig: Miquella: I like you, and I want you. You can choose the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours.
Radhan: We are not gonna be doing anything in any kinda way.
Malenia: Oh oh I see you choosing the hard way.
delta_1632: I don't believe Radahn refused the vow and actually accepted, however that doesn't mean they can't end up on opposite sides.
Let me explain, what I think the timeline looks like:

In their youth Miquella asked Radahn to make that vow to become his king consort.
I believe Redahn accepted, since his name in the final fight is promised consort, implying a promise was made, as well as the vow being honored, must mean a vow had to be made in the first place.
Now if Radahn made that promise willingly/or due to Miquella's charm is another matter.

This vow stood tall until Miquella got disillusioned with the golden order due to it not being able to cure his and Malenia's affliction.

Miquella turned his back on the golden order, Radahn stood by it and now they were on opposite sides.
Radahn now doesn't want to keep up the vow.

Miquella tries to manipulate Radahn with his charms, however Radahn due to being from the Raya Lucarian royalty has his fate tethered to the stars, so by halting their movements he can resist the kind of enchantment Mogh and everyone was under.
I believe that is the reason Radahn originally challenged the stars.

So Malenia is sent to fight Radahn in order to make him keep the vow.
She nukes Caelid in the process, but doesn't succeed, since Radahn manages to not only survive, but keep living with the help of his great rune keeping the scarlet Rot from killing him.

The tragedy here is, Radahn even in what is basically his death manages to hold on and keep Miquella's plan from succeeding, until we come along and go through the events of the Redahn festival.

The rest is explained ingame already.
Mogh gets brainwashed by Miquella and forced to bring him to Mohgwyn palace, where we kill him like Miquella wanted, becoming probably the most tragic character in the entire game in the process.
Miquella puts Radahn's soul into the body and resurrect his Frankenstein's Redahn as the Consort that was promised so long ago.
bjayblast: the "hawk tuah" genuinely caught me off guard so i'd say you earned your like lmfao
lemmytron: Also worth noting that "Miquella's body" in the cocoon shares an identical model with Morgott after you beat him..
SUNOGDRAGON: Now that Radahn is using Mohg’s body as a vessel, I find it funny that he is now kinda considered a son of Godfrey, the person he idolizes XD
zix5442: free my boy mohg he aint do nothing wrong
elijahherstal776: Now I understand why Radahn had the Godslayer Greatsword in his tower basement.
anonfinally1692: When Malenia stabbed herself and Radahn during their fight she was actually breaking her needle the one holding back the Scarlet Rot
onesecgaming8102: Miquella the tickela
looots1320: Griffith went crazy when Guts left him
faselbaum: Did my man just beat vaati to a lore video?
frankiefromky: 10 out of 10 jump cut of all time... u gotta give 'em that hack tuah!! LMAO
segaherman_twitch: Elden ring is so popular, right now. Twitch is blowing up with elden ring gameplay
noamias4897: Idk why everyone forgets that Mohg still kills maidens and lures tarnished into becoming his minions for his dynasty of blood in a literal SWAMP OF BLOOD
apexthelegend: my mind did NOT understand how miquella was leaving stuff behind in the shadow realm, while also being in the cocoon at moghs palace
chumorgan443: Mohg finally becoming consort.

" Not like this..."
SilverNightbane: My guess as to why there really aren't that many Albinaurics in the Halligtree (if any sans Loretta) is because they probably went to the Moghwyn Palace portal by mistake.
Fishc27: I'm still at "who the fuck's arm is that in the cocoon?"
DA_Strom: Miquella discarded his flesh. That is why his body is in the Lands Between and his spirit is in the Shadow Lands
Marco-fs9bs: I think that Miquella didn't choose Malenia because she was an empyrean and a vessel for another outer god.
MrWinthrup: This may be a crazy theory of mine, but after reading Leda's sword and what its ability can do (cure the attacked of all aliments and buffs), I think that Miquella may have finished his needle. Because if it can do that, that means it can cure Scarlet Rot. So I wonder if he couldn't do that before the land of shadow, or what if he didn't cure Malenia on purpose at some point? Mayhe it helped his plans. Oh and I just remembered, I had the thought that the Blacksmith must be one of the last Hornsent survivors. He mentions how he saw how terrible Marika was.
blackvalio4060: Why is nobody talking about the two finger's plot twist. They dont make communication to the greater will at all
BIGESTblade: Radahn is chad. He was literally offered the word and he said no purely out of loyalty.
willsword8100: Makes me wonder, which happened first, the night of black knives or the Promise Vow of Miquella?
royalfoxy7935: I haven’t gotten to play it yet but I started up a new save file for the dlc a month or so ago and I just got back into the game and I beat mohg just like 5 hours ago and I’m getting the dlc tomorrow I’m super excited for it
BigBilly2009: Well, even the Marika's cutscene where pulls out a golden strand out of a bloody womb and ascends to godhood at a bloody and piled with bodies Gate of Divinity, which was in trailers, is nowhere to be found in the DLC. So even Miquella's trailer cutscene may be a ruse or we have still not found out how to get those cutscenes.
Halfgnomen: i'd imagine if there is an ending it involves the frenzied flame needle
