Another Minor Elden Ring Addition

[SilentLyfe]

Wasn't expecting to do another one so soon, but here we go. So one of the big twists in Elden Ring is that Radagon is Marika, both told in the game and later shown during the final boss. Because of this, the two should get Multiple Selves. Of course we never learn the details of how exactly they're the same person, whether that means they are halves of one soul or two souls in one body etc. However, at minimum they do qualify for type 1 Multiple Selves, as not only are their alternative identities extremely relevant and affect the structure of their body which is a requirement stated on the page, but they have very conflicting personalities as well.

Radagon is a massive supporter of the Golden Older, blocking access to the Erdtree and acting a the final boss when the Tarnished enters, while Marika grew disillusioned with it, eventually resulting in her shattering the Elden Ring. These conflicting opinions are also shown in the description of Marika's Hammer, where it states that it is: The tool with which Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring and Radagon attempted to repair it.

In conclusion, both Radagon and Marika should get Multiple Selves Type 1 for being two personalities in one body. In all likelihood its probably type 2, but again as it was never explained the true nature of how they are the same type 1 is the minimum.

Doesn't the DLC imply Marika's children all had the capability of being multiple people if they chose to do so like Miquella did with Saint Trina?

I’m unsure. I thought it was actually the ability of grafting that was implied for her children, due to the whole jar thing. But if you know where it implies it that’d be cool.
