At the moment, it is not known if it will be possible to get these sentences in the equally great DLC of FromSoftware’s excellent game.
Before we go any further, we would like to point out in a separate paragraph that there will be spoilers below, so read at your own risk.
It seems that there are lines in the text that were not used in The Elden Ring’s newly released DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. On Reddit, LaMi_1 was the one who found these files after analyzing the game’s files. There is no sound paired with these texts, so he only found texts, but this confirms that the Japanese studio had plans to make the last boss in the DLC, who is surprisingly silent during the fight, speak.

These would be the three sentences that have come to light: “I am Radahn,” “Born of the red-maned Radadgon and Rennala of the Full Moon,” “A lion bred for battle. During the second phase of the battle, Miquella appears, and this character has fully voiced lines all the way through, but Radahn remains completely silent, which may be particularly noticeable to players who like FromSoftware’s Souls games, as part of the immersion is that your opponent sometimes speaks, because without it, you can only see them as a fighting dummy, nothing more.
At the moment, we don’t know if those three sentences have an audio file, and it’s not even known how to extract those lines from the Elden Ring DLC, although there’s not much chance of that, so they’ll have to be treated as truncated sentences. Perhaps the sequel won’t have such omissions, as FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki recently said that while he doesn’t think there’s much chance of a second Elden Ring DLC, he thinks a second installment might be feasible in the future.
What other secrets might Elden Ring: Shadow of the Earth Tree have in store? The question is intriguing…
