Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Summary
Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtreecontinues the Soulsborne custom of not telling its account in an overt way . The lore and mysterious history of the world construct by Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin must be dig up through NPC interactions and point descriptions . Most role player can lam throughElden Ringwithout much of a clue as to what ’s going on , but for those that dig , there is an intricate account of divinity , family , and betrayal that scars both the Lands Between and the Land of Shadow .
[ warn : This clause contain despoiler forElden Ringand theShadow of the Erdtree DLC . ]
The demi - god children of Marika & Radogan take center stage inElden Ring , being cardinal figures in The Shattering , a war that ravage the Lands Between . Some were left in horrifying states , as is the compositor’s case with Godwyn the Golden andStarscourge Radahn , while others hide out and bide their clock time for a great architectural plan , like Ranni and Mohg . Although the fates of these demi - gods are well document , Miquella was a mystery , until the launch of the enlargement .
Farming runes can be terrible , particularly when you are underleveled , but Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree offered me a new room to level up .
Shadow Of The Erdtree Reveals Miquella Was Evil All Along
His Manipulation Causes Chaos
In the radical game , a lot was known about Miquella ’s preceding but very little was give away about who he was as a person . He was see as one of the respectable of the demi - gods , offering shelter to the Albinaurics with his Haligtree and deeply cared for his twin baby , Malenia , Blade of Miquella . Miquella was a part of The Shattering , and his endeavor to make the Haligtree another Erdtree perhaps demonstrated his desire to become a god like his female parent / father . The Tarnished never met the Empryean and , like Godwyn , knew little of his architectural plan and personality .
Empyreans are special organism capable of becoming gods of a new age . Known Empyreans admit : Marika , Ranni , Malenia , Miquella and the Gloam - Eyed Queen .
This alter inShadow of the Erdtree , as it is really the account of Miquella , despiteintroducing Messmeras the mascot for the DLC , another demi - god with the red pilus of Radogan . It is revealed that Miquella ’s power is to compel affection from people , a power that he used on Mohg to get him where he is in the expansion . This flip-flop the narration of Miquella ’s kidnap at the hands of Mohg and actually cause the Omen demi - god little more than a marionette .

It should be notice that Mohg still wanted to take over the world in the name of his Outer God , the Formless Mother , but it does aid him beat certain allegations shake off his way . It also shows thatMiquella was perfectly contented with abandoning his Haligtree and the citizen that call him lord , as well as his matching baby , Malenia , who loved him so dearly , to give chase godhood in the Land of Shadow . His actions get a spate of hoi polloi kill , including member of his own family unit .
Incantations are Elden Ring ’s muscular Faith - based enchantment , and Tarnished players can larn over 100 of them on their quest to claim the Elden Ring .
Miquella Is An Evil Mastermind Obsessed With Becoming A God
He Doesn’t Care Who Gets In His Way
With his young physiognomy and flowing light-haired hair , there was a joke in theElden Ringfan base that Miquella would end up being the biz ’s variant of Griffith fromBerserk . With the release ofShadow of the Erdtree , this decidedly seems to be the case since he manipulates and gets the people he holds confining suffering . It is give away that he believed Radahn would be his consort when he became a god in his own right . Whether Radahn agreed to this or not is a completely dissimilar storey .
Some believe that Radahn agree to this before The Shattering , while others cerebrate that the Starscourge never agreed to this , but it is clear that when theElden Ringwas shattered , Radahn resisted Miquella ’s power and attempt to become the Elden Lord . This meant that the Starscourge intended to be Marika ’s consort at the time , not Miquella ’s . Miquella did not take this rejection well , and after Morgott ’s successful defense of Leyndell , he send his babe , Malenia , to kill Radahn , so his soul could later be used .
The Shattering was devastatingto The Lands Between , but Morgott arguably ended up as the superior , obtain the capital as the Omen King and preclude his siblings from becoming Elden Lord .
From this , Radahn was put in a state of cannibalistic madness , Malenia was put in a comaand needed to be carry back to the Haligtree , Caelid was sour into a wasteland , and Miquella used his force to have Mohg fall in love with him to take him away from the Haligtree . If arrange a darling sibling in a comatoseness and bend a promised consort into a maddened zombi while reducing his land to a hellscape was n’t risky enough , it make worse .
With Elden Ring ’s multiple closing , it can be tough to pin down which could be canon . Though , the plot of ground of Shadow of the Erdtree may withstand some clues .
Miquella’s Promised Consort Is A Terrifying Puppet
His Evil Knows No Bounds
Because of The Shattering and who took part , all the demi - gods beside Godwyn , who was already drained , and Morgottact selfishly in monastic order to get power . EvenRanni and her Age of Stars(arguably the best finish in the game ) number with some pitiless sacrifices . While the most obvious route for most would be to become the Elden Lord , Miquella want to be like his female parent , but he needed a choir to make this happen , and he want it to be Radahn above all else .
Miquella follow in his female parent ’s footstep in taking a consort . Marika had Godfrey as her first choir , then Radagon ( technically herself ) , and finally the Tarnished , if the player does n’t prefer Ranni or else or become the vas for the Frenzied Flame .
This makes sense since Radahn is a great warfare submarine with the power to halt the stars and the only one who could crusade Malenia to a standstill ( although the fan base still argues about who technically won).After the Tarnished toss off Mohg , Miquella drive his wish and set up Radahn ’s soul into Mohg ’s bodyto make an unholy amalgamation of his two siblings as his consort , resulting in theexpansion ’s final boss and end . It is indecipherable if Radahn is conscious during this state , but his initial refusal to be Miquella ’s choir entail that he is n’t .
Miquella uses his power to entirely destroy an already shattered family . He brainwashes Mohg , set about him killed , and then squeeze the soul of Radahn into his body so that he can marry the puppet it results in . He abandons his ever - loyal twin baby , Malenia , after she ends up in a comatoseness and gets innumerable people killed in his quest to become a graven image . The spoiled part is that Mohg has been taking the bulk of the incrimination beforeElden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree’slaunch , but now it is light that Miquella is the veridical scoundrel .
