Fia’s ending in _Elden Ring _ raises more questions than answers. Also known as the "Age of the Duskborn," Fia’s ending causes a mist to descend onto the Lands Between. Given Fia’s association with Godwyn the Prince of Death, players have suspected that this mist represents - and even causes - the end of immortality in the Lands Between. However, diving deeper into the lore behind the Duskborn ending makes it clear this is not the whole story behind this mysterious m

While there is only so much to learn from interacting with him, his character and the mark he leaves on the world around him are intriguing. By no means does anyone want to tolerate his being, but still, the player can choose to kill him, turn him into a puppet, or even help free him so that he can continue his work of cursing the liv

Of the characters related to Ranni's story, this one is very likely to be one of your most hated. Seluvis is a treacherous character who, despite being under the witch's service, doesn't seem particularly indebted to her or anyone else for that mat

While his name may not invoke as much fear as it should, the knowledge of him being a prolific serial murderer with powers that desecrate corpses and ruin any chance of an afterlife for them might do the trick. He is one of several characters mentioned in the intro, meaning he was a banished tarnished who returned after the shattering of the Elden Ring, on a similar power level as the pla

The lore surrounding Miquella and Mogh, Lord of Blood is particularly strange. Mogh was obsessed with Miquella and stole him from the Haligtree in the hopes of raising him to godhood and becoming his consort. That said, Miquella was cursed with eternal childhood, making that paradigm doubly dubi

It would be hyperbole, at best, to say that Miquella is a villain in. To achieve his goals, Miquella may resort to ruthless methods, but said methods are consistently less atrocious than the limb harvesting of Elden Ring 's Godrick the Grafted , the blasphemy of Rykard, or the genocidal imperialism of Queen Marika. Every piece of game lore about Miquella suggests that he genuinely loves his sister Miquella, genuinely wants to free her from the Scarlet Rot, and genuinely wants to be a good lord to his follow

Besides hinting a potential Miquella-themed DLC for Elden Ring , this revelation complicates the more-or-less straightforward picture of Miquella's goals in the main game of Elden Ring (which may be why this quest-line was cut). Does Miquella, in his guise of St. Trina, gather dreams in order to help his subjects and heal his sister Malenia? Or is the world gestating within his heart a more selfish attempt to escape his old reality and create a new one where his dreams actually come t

Instead of a simple wind-up and swing, Elden Ring bosses will wind up, feint, dodge, duck, and only swing at the least opportune time for the player. Margit, the Fell Omen is particularly guilty of this, and, as one of the first bosses new players are likely to encounter, he makes for a great "welcome to Elden Ring " mom

The four main Sleep-inducing tools of the game - the Sleep Arrows, the Sleep Pots, the Soporific Grease, the Elden Ring Sword of Saint Trina and St. Trina's Torch - are all associated with the mysterious St. Trina, described in item text as being either a young girl or boy and most decidedly not an adult. Many FromSoftware fans had guessed that Miquella and St. Trina were the same person before said guess was confirmed by the discovery of a cut quest-line revolving around the collecting of dreams from sleeping enemies and an NPC named Rico. Lying dormant in Elden Ring 's files is cut dialogue where the NPC Rico realizes St. Trina and Miquella are one and the same, and moreover, that Miquella is cultivating a dream world in his he

At the end of the questline, you can choose to help supplant her as the head of the academy, essentially giving her as much power as she wants to continue her research. The most intriguing thing is that at this point, at the height of her potential, you can return here to find her transformed. It's undefined why, but piecing together evidence from the world around, this may be what becomes of sorcerers who are overzealous in their pursuit of knowledge and mastery over sorc

As we all know, lore and characters are some of the most defining parts of any From Software game. Every soul you meet has more than a few skeletons in their closet, and you are sure to find a couple more of them laying about elsewhere. Elden Ring's setting, the Lands Between, has a great number of characters with stories to tell or stories that tell of the tales of a character. They'll often take you from one end of the earth to the other just to find the missing piece of someone's puzzling p

During their playthrough of Elden Ring , players will come across many NPC and enemies who demonstrate a fanatical devotion to Miquella, an Empyrean with the potential to become a god like Marika. Malenia's Cleanrot Knights, who wield spears and scythes imbued with Miquella's Golden Order Magic, fight fiercely for the Empyrean's cause despite knowing proximity to Malenia will cause their flesh to rot away. After Miquella's kidnapping by Mohg, the foot soldiers who guard the Elden Ring Patch Notes Ring 's parasitic, slowly-rotting Haligtree settlement turn their bodies into magical bombs in the hopes that the " ...the flash of our deaths [will] guide Miquella's retur
