Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC: Who Is Miquella?

In Elden Ring, Miquella is likely one of the recreation’s few Empyreans (folks with the potential to change into gods). The one different Empyreans in Elden Ring (for now) are Queen Marika, Ranni, Malenia, and the yet-unnamed Gloam-Eyed Queen. For no matter cause, Miquella additionally had the facility to make others love him, and he used that energy to his personal ends. Though, we don’t know if he used it for good or evil.

Regardless of Miquella’s standing as an Empyrean, and his means to mentally overwrite folks’s opinions about him, he carried some fairly heavy burdens. Initially, he was cursed with everlasting youth, which isn’t all it’s cracked as much as be, particularly since his sister Malenia is arguably the strongest demigod in Elden Ring. Talking of Malenia, she was Miquella’s different burden as a result of, for all her strengths, her physique was ravaged by Scarlet Rot. Not solely did this supernatural illness eat away her physique, forcing her to make use of a prosthetic arm and leg, however throughout her battle with Radahn within the recreation’s opening credit, Malenia turns her Scarlet Rot right into a bomb that devastates Caelid. Miquella struggled to seek out options for each of these issues.

Anybody who beats Malenia (in case you did, critical congrats are so as) will purchase, amongst different issues, the Unalloyed Gold Needle. When given to Millicent, it turns into Miquella’s Needle. This merchandise was a part of Miquella’s first try and treatment Malenia of the Scarlet Rot, though it didn’t work. On the brilliant aspect, although, the merchandise’s description does verify that Scarlet Rot is the product of an outer god. Miquella’s second try to resolve his burdens concerned the Haligtree, which he hoped would raise his curse of everlasting youth. That try additionally failed, however presumably solely as a result of Mohg kidnapped Miquella earlier than he was executed rising the tree.

As of the time of this text, you possibly can at the moment “discover” Miquella in Mohgwyn Palace, beneath Caelid. He’s the large arm within the cocoon that Mohg talks to earlier than attacking the participant. Apparently, Mohg believed they may treatment Miquella and switch him right into a god by sharing blood with him. Nevertheless, Mohg’s plan failed (which was in all probability for one of the best).

If the rumors are true, then we would lastly get to fulfill Miquella when FromSoftware releases the brand new Elden Ring DLC. However will we get to work together with Miquella as a result of he lastly escaped from his cocoon, or as a result of we are going to return in time and meet Miquella earlier than he’s cocooned? Whereas we’re on the topic, is that actually Miquella within the first place, or are eagle-eyed followers being trolled by the sport’s sometimes playful builders? We are going to simply have to attend and see.
