9 Pointless Details In Elden Ring That'll Blow Your Mind

7. Starscourge Radhan’s Powers & His Steed Leonard

General Radhan, now Starscourge, is a very large boss who rides a very tiny horse. Well, the horse is probably regular size, but given that Radahn is enormous it begs the question of how he manages to stay atop his comparatively little steed.

Of course, the studio could have gotten away with just making the peculiar enemy design with no real explanation as to the whys or hows but FromSoftware love the whys and hows.

If you’re a ‘read every item description’ type you might already be across this one but it’s the description for the Remembrance of the Starscourge consumable that sheds a little more light on the matter. It reads, “The Red Lion General wielded gravitational powers which he learned in Selia during his younger days. All so he would never have to abandon his beloved but scrawny steed.” The Red Lion, of course, being Radahn and his beloved, scrawny steed is Leonard. If you’re wondering how we know the horse’s name, that's because one clever player dug through the NPC AI scripts for the reference names and uncovered one for Radahn that read RadahnAndLeonard.

In essence, this formidable boss is using gravity-based magic so he doesn’t squash his little buddy so hopefully he’s not too uncomfortable under there.
