Elden Ring: There Are Some Unanswered Questions In Shadow Of The Erdtree
Like any Soulsborne game, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree requires some investigation from the player in order to unravel some mysteries of the game’s story and lore. However, with the DLC, there are still a lot of unanswered questions left unanswered.
This is not surprising to many players, as developer FromSoftware is known for leaving many aspects of its world up to the player’s interpretation. Back to this expansion, it does a good job of explaining many aspects of the base game, including telling a lot about Miquella, Dragon Communion cult, Two Fingers and Greater Will, and more.
While many players agree that Shadow of the Erdtree is huge, there are still many unanswered questions within it, and these mysteries mentioned in this guide can only be answered through theories.
Who Is Demigod Family?
Before Shadow of the Erdtree was released, Marika’s family was complicated, but reasonable. Before Messmer was included in the family, the ages of Marika and Radagon’s children were known: Godwyn was the oldest, Miquella and Malenia were the youngest.
But in the DLC, it’s not so clear. Messmer is considered as being the eldest son of Marika and Radagon, because Messmer calls Marika mother and has red hair like Radagon. After he joins the family, the family becomes confusing.
In addition, Messmer is not the only demigod to complicate things, because there is no simple answer to whether Messmer is a demigod or not, and whether he is a member of the family. In the previous base game, Radagon was married to Rennala, so his family is even more complicated, especially when Shadowbound Beasts are added.
Who Is Melina?
Melina is arguably the most confusing point in Shadow of the Erdtree. Although she is one of the most well-known characters in the game, there is no large description of her in the game. Is she a demigod or Gloam-Eyed Queen? There is absolutely no clue, but evidence of both identities appears in the game.
Due to the fact that Melina’s appearance time in the game and the lack of additional scenes about her, especially in Shadow of the Erdtree, it is difficult to determine her identity. However, she is also the most important character in Shadow of the Erdtree, because she gives the player Torrent, so she met Miquella at some point. In previous trailers and teaser images for Shadow of the Erdtree, it was hinted that Miquella was Torrent’s former owner, but it is unclear how the horse ended up with Melina.
The fundamental problem with Melina is that she doesn’t have much to do in the game’s story. She is not constantly calculating like Ranni, nor does she have a place in the history of Lands Between like other major characters. All she does is serve as a temporary Finger Maiden for Tarnished, and then casually fights Morgott in Leyndell and sets fire to Erdtree.
From these events, we can feel that Melina must know a lot about this world and its history. If Elden Ring can answer them in subsequent game content, it will definitely attract many players!
What Is Kaiden Like?
In the base game, Kaiden was only a minor character in the world of Elden Ring, but that doesn’t mean his presence is not important. You can see Kaiden mercenaries in various places in Lands Between, and according to some item descriptions, they are from their homeland in the northern mountaintops.
I believe that some old players must have felt the difficulty of fighting them. Many players joked that it would be difficult to persist in this battle if they did not want to obtain Elden Ring Runes in the ultimate reward.
But after Tarnished went to Mountaintops of Giants, Kaiden was never seen. So it’s completely unclear where Kaiden is, but no one has ever found him in Shadow of the Erdtree, and it’s likely not in Lands Between.
But in the DLC, you can see Kaiden mercenaries sitting on the beach next to countless shipwrecks, which may mean that Kaiden is just across the sea, but this is all just speculation. Since they are mercenaries, it can be speculated that these Kaiden warriors are hired here, but what is their relationship with Lands Between? Do they have a history of being hired before Shattering? It’s unknown.
Does Radahn Want To Be Miquella’s Spouse?
When many players are ready to complete this DLC, they will be surprised to find that Radahn is the ultimate boss they have to face, because he has become a cannibalistic zombie in the previous storyline and was killed during Radahn Festival. So when players see him again, they will be very surprised.
However, many players also feel sorry for him, because it was very refreshing to fight Radahn in the arena when he was at his peak. Although Radahn is no longer at his peak now, he is very close. So you still get a certain amount of satisfaction from this fight and get some Elden Ring Runes as a reward.
After Tarnished killed him, his soul was placed in the body of his half-brother Mohg. This is a clear storyline, but it is not clear whether he is willing to become Miquella’s spouse.
Why Is Godwyn Was Killed?
Godwyn is a strange character and the only demigod that Tarnished does not fight, unless Melina is considered one of them. He is also known as Godwyn Golden and was considered a favorite of Marika before Night of Black Knives and his partial death. Tarnished can see Godwyn as a strange, fish-like creature entangled in Deathroot. But a common question surrounding him is why was he killed? Was he the original target?
The undead in the game all worship Godwyn and call him Prince of Death. So when his body was buried under Erdtree, the undead corrupted it, which is how Deathroot appeared. Most players think this may be for convenience, as many demigods may have been elsewhere at the time, such as Malenia and Miquella may have lived in Haligtree.
It may also be because Godwyn was the most important to Marika, and Black Knife Assassins were Numen women who had connections with Marika. All that is known so far is that Ranni is behind this, although it is unknown if Godwyn had to die to get rid of Greater Will. There are even theories that Marika was involved in the conspiracy, but these are just theories.
The above are some unanswered questions in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. If you have any questions about this DLC, you can come to iGMeet Discord to express your confusion.

Is Elden Ring Still Worth P ...
Elden Ring was first released in 2022, and it was the first time that Souls series were truly brought from a niche to the masses. Perhaps some people would say that Sekiro is also a work by Hidetaka Miyazaki, and even the game of the year. Doesn’t it count as bringing Souls games to the masses? Let’s be a little more fundamentalist here. Although Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is also full of Souls, the operation method of this game is very different from Souls series, so it is temporarily expelled from Souls series. Elden Ring is undoubtedly a game that inherits the traditional Souls series. From Demon’s Souls to Dark Souls trilogy, our protagonist is a knight wearing Western armor, fighting demons or dragons on a land full of death. In Elden Ring, there doesn’t seem to be much change. So this game has been released for nearly three years, and most of the content has been completely analyzed by strategy on the Internet. So is it still worth playing? My answer is, yes. The Best Soul-like Game After the release of Elden Ring, many Souls-like works have been released one after another, such as Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and even Another Crab’s Treasure. These works are all excellent, and some of them are even better than Elden Ring, but they had various problems when they were released. These problems are basically concentrated on the stiff operation feel and unreasonable number of enemies. In addition to the strange rebound feel of Lies of P, another point is that the process is too short. Elden Ring has been excellent in all aspects so far. The only feeling of many players after completing the first round is: I really want to lose my memory and play Elden Ring again. For players, the best Souls series game at present is Elden Ring. Whether it is a new player or an old player, if you want to have the best Souls series game experience, then Elden Ring is his best choice. Graphics From Souls 1 to Souls 3, the picture quality of Souls series games has never been the best, but the art design of Souls Tour has always been the most fantastic. Due to the traditional fragmented narrative method of Souls series, they put all the information of the whole story in every corner of the game. This gives players the intuitive feeling that they seem to have really come to a different world full of heavy history. When the player walks out of Stormveil Castle and rides on a spirit horse to look at Caria Manor Magic Academy hidden in the lake and mist, the shock brought to the player is even greater than when the players of Souls III walked out of the underground cemetery and saw the moonlit Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. And Elden Ring adopts the design of developing a large world map, which allows Hidetaka Miyazaki to let go of his fists and feet. In the game, every time you come to a new area, you will be shocked by the spectacular scenery here. In short, if you are a player who loves scenery, then don’t miss Elden Ring. Combat Tarnished, the protagonist of Elden Ring, has a very powerful performance in Souls series. Because he has knees, he can jump! This has brought many revolutionary changes to Elden Ring in both combat and map design. However, this is a bit lacking compared to other games. As an action game, Tarnished does not have the ability to go to the sky and into the earth like the protagonists of Devil May Cry and God of War series. In fact, Tarnished is more rigid, and often after launching an attack, you have to wait for the enemy’s attack to end before attacking again. Therefore, some players jokingly call this a “round-based” attack. This fighting method is actually quite challenging. Even if the player has defeated the final BOSS, they still have to be vigilant when facing the monsters, otherwise you may be robbed of all your Elden Ring Runes by three dogs that pop out at any time. The battle of Elden Ring is mainly divided into PVP and PVE parts. Most people will only experience the PVE part, which is enough. Because just playing PVE content is enough for you to play for a long time. First of all, Elden Ring has the most content in all soul series, which is the advantage of the open world. You can spend a whole week in Elden Ring, and you may still not be able to pass it. Secondly, after you clear Elden Ring, you have new weapons and new equipment. Don’t you want to go back and take revenge on those elite monsters and bosses who bullied you? Then start the second round. Even if you are an old player, after putting down Elden Ring, you still want to take it back and play it again. Maybe try a new weapon, or change to a new style of playing. Suitable For Playing With Friends The most important thing about playing games is happiness, and Elden Ring can bring happiness to people, whether it is played alone or online. Elden Ring has an online mode. You can explore the castle or dungeon with your friends. If you are an old player, you can get the satisfaction of being a sun knight. If you are a new player, you can feel the joy of growth by getting runes to upgrade or getting new equipment during the game. If you are looking for a game to play with friends, then in addition to It Takes Two, you can also try Elden Ring. If you are worried that Elden Ring is too difficult, you might as well participate in the giveaway of iGMeet Discord to get some runes to make your pioneering journey easier. Elden Ring will still be relevant in 2025, and it deserves to be the Game of the Year in 2022. It also received a DLC in 2024, which added a lot of new content, such as spells, equipment, and even new types of weapons. Perhaps the only person who can beat Hidetaka Miyazaki is himself. Until his new game is released, Elden Ring will always be the most fun Soul-like game.Jan-03-2025

Elden Ring DLC: The Weakene ...
The latest update Elden Ring 1.14 changes the difficulty of the last boss Promised Consort Radahn, making this previously daunting boss accompanied with overwhelming easier to challenge and conquer. As we all know, FromSoftware is known for its challenging boss fights like Artorias, Nameless King, and Orphan of Kos, but the latest DLC is even more challenging, and the terrifying difficulty has refused mountains rookies and gain much complaints among fans. Therefore, here comes the chance for those medium players who are terrified by its horrible challenge difficulty, and if you are interested in fighting strangers, patch 1.14 also has provided some PvP and general balance adjustments for you. However, most players are not satisfied with the adjustment of the difficulty of the final boss challenge, but are more annoyed because they think it is a betrayal of the original intention of the game. The Details Of Update 1.14 The latest update has made some changes to PvP-exclusive balance adjustments in the aspects of equipment and skills. When fighting with other players, the damage that Backhand Blades, Spears, and Pata deal will be decreased. And headshot damage animation will not appear when using Spread Crossbow to attack another players as well. Here are some major updates and bug fixes for your reference: Adjusted the action pattern and attack moves when the battle kicks off. Decreased the damage of some attacks. Decreased stamina damage of some attacks. Decreased the attack range of some non-weapon-based attacks. Enhanced the visibility of some attack effects. As to a nightmare for many players to deal with, Promised Consort Radahn’s combat capabilities have also been nerfed significantly. And noticeably enhance the performance of some specific equipments like swords and spells which has disappointed players in the previous battles. Now comes the chance to embrace those Elden Ring Items to enhance your strength. And boss Rellana may be the biggest winner of this update, whose complete suite of equipment has appropriately been buffed to the moon. The Weakened Promised Consort Radahn Has Invited Complaints Promised Consort Radahn has been a nightmare for many players in the first stage, not to mention the addition of Miquella in the later phrase. This directly makes normal battles more crazy and difficult. But as the hardest boss to deal with in the entire game, many players would rather fail in battle after battle than see Radahn weakened, because this would make the challenge meaningless, which contributes to the oldest argument about Souls games in existence. This complaint is mainly concentrated among those Souls veterans, who believe in the principle of continuing to challenge and become worthy after repeated failures. According to the feedback of a player, as a Souls veteran with more than ten years of experience, he could almost always kill those powerful bosses with one hit in the early journey of DLC with the help of a well-optimized bleed build whose level is more than 400. He took invading other players as fun and said he couldn’t remember the last time he failed. Then it was such a powerful player who was beaten and fled by this boss when he came up against the reborn Radahn at the very end. Although indulging in endless depression and loss at the beginning, he was finally inspired to make enough preparation for claiming a victory next time, such as to collect some of Scadutree Fragments. In the process of careful planning for a normal battle, he got endless satisfaction. However, this satisfaction is deprived by the weaken of Radahn. This made the battle lose its original meaning. This view is supported by most game fans. The Significance To Make Preparation For Fighting Last Boss In addition to the challenge significance mentioned above, it is also necessary to consider the setting of the entire game. It is designed to collect more Scadutree Fragments scattered all over the map to help defeat the ultimate boss. Because this increases your exploration journey, and you will get to know what’s happened to Miquella and why Shadowlands are designed like this. So many revelations hide in DLC are waiting for you to disclose and many of them are jaw-dropping. Along the way to discover Scadutree Fragments, St. Trina's quest and the unbelievable story that happened in Cathedral of Manus Metyr will be revealed, the truth about Mohg be disclosed, and Marika’s childhood village be found. These fascinating stories and settings are also the meaning of the normal game, not just simply defeating a boss. Finally, when Scadutree Fragments have reached its perfect states, and burden the plea of St. Trina’s with a new Katana in your hands, it is the death of Promised Consort Radahn. Because many players think that this weakening betrays the original intention of the game, because players will most likely skip the step of collecting Scadutree Fragments and kill the last boss directly, and also miss the very exciting plot in the journey. The above is about the weakening of Promised Consort Radahn and the discussion caused by it.

Elden Ring DLC: How To Comp ...
Land of Shadow in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is filled with interesting locations for players to explore. But some of the more hidden corners hide unexpected secrets that you may miss when you are in a hurry to explore. Of all the easily forgotten corners, the most important one is Temple Town Ruins, because only after you have explored them can you unlock the subsequent secret locations. And some of Elden Ring Items you find in Temple Town Ruins are also an important part of your enhanced build. This guide will show you how to reach Temple Town Ruins and what you can find there. You can slowly explore this interesting place after you have completed the dominant story of the entire DLC. How To Get To Temple Town Ruins? Temple Town Ruins are located in Rauh Base. If you can’t find them, you can first find Ancient Rauh Ruins, which is just below it. After you defeat Rellana, head to Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus. Once there, head northeast to the lake with ghost worms. You will see a tunnel in front of you. After walking out of the tunnel, you will come across a poisonous swamp. Here you can use your Torrent and cross this dangerous area until you reach Rauh Base area. Once in this area, continue straight in the same direction until you find Golems. After defeating them briefly, continue forward and you will reach Temple Town Ruins. Before entering Temple Town Ruins, you will also find a map fragment of Rauh region at the door. Please keep this fragment safe, as it will be used later. If you want to go to Temple Town Ruins Site of Grace, you need to cross the river, and Site of Grace will be on your left. Temple Town Ruins Exploration Process Before you are ready to enter Temple Town Ruins, make sure you have Revered Spirit Fragment. If not, you need to go to the south of the ruins and find a headless statue, where the fragment is. Once you have confirmed it, you can enter the ruins. The first thing you need to reach is a large building in the center of the ruins. This large building is surrounded by walls, but you will find a small hole in the south side. Go inside and then go up the stairs directly. As you move forward, you will find an elevated ledge behind you, and inside it is an undead with a pot on its head. When you jump onto the ledge, you can fight it or ignore it, as it does not provide you with any XP other than some Elden Ring Runes. Then keep walking forward until you find a Scadutree Fragment on the ground. After picking it up, you can return the same way. I will divide the subsequent exploration process according to the rewards of each part. Two-Handed Sword Talisman After you return to the previous position, continue to move forward. Soon after you walk out, you will see a Horned Warrior holding a greatsword. At this time, you need to defeat it, because when it sees you, it will start to attack you. Also, don’t worry too much about Horned Warrior being defeated early. There are Marika statues all around to keep you entertained in the fight. After defeating them using some strategy, go up the stairs and look to the left. You’ll see a treasure chest containing a Two-Handed Sword Talisman. Two-Handed Sword Talisman can increase the attack power of any two-handed weapon by 15%, but it should be noted that this is for the two-handed weapon, not for each hand holding a two-handed weapon, such as Backhand Blade. If you are using Strength builds that require two-handed giant weapons, then Two-Handed Sword Talisman will be one of your best helpers. Spirit Ashes Of Divine Bird Warrior Ornis After you get Two-Handed Sword Talisman, you can take a break at Temple Town Ruins Site of Grace. Continue walking north and you will find three red pests. Be careful of the harmful lines that the red pests shoot, so be careful to avoid them. After defeating the red pests, turn right and you will see a Spiritspring. At this time, be sure to use your Torrent to jump onto Spiritspring, because you cannot land on a building in Temple Town Ruins by jumping on it alone. There will be a box in the middle of the building with some crafting material and Elden Ring Runes. After picking it up, you need to go around the ledge of this building and jump to another cliff. Keep going in the current direction until you find a sanctuary-like structure. There will be a chest with Spirit Ashes of Divine Bird Warrior Ornis you are looking for. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman You can explore these bonus items in any order, as the last item is very far from the location of Two-Headed Turtle Talisman. To find Two-Headed Turtle Talisman, you need to go to the south of Temple Town Ruins and descend along a circle of ledges to the bottom of the lake. You will find a small rift just below the waterfall. Once you crawl into it, you will see Two-Headed Turtle Talisman on a corpse in the center of the cave. There are also three angry ghost worms guarding around it, which will start to attack you when you enter the cave. You can also use some simple combat strategies to defeat them. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is a more powerful version of the regular Green Turtle Talisman, which can help you increase the recovery rate of Stamina. If you have participated in some difficult boss stations before, you must know that the recovery speed of Stamina is very important, because you can’t let your Stamina value drop to the minimum when attacking or dodging. If you face some bosses that require a long fight in the subsequent boss battles, you can equip Two-Headed Turtle Talisman. After getting Two-Headed Turtle Talisman, you can choose to continue exploring the lake just now to the south, and eventually you will reach Ellac River area. Or you can choose to continue exploring this area and find some more interesting events. The above is all the information on how to fully explore Temple Town Ruins. I hope it can help you better understand this place. If you have other places you want to explore, welcome to iGMeet Discord to ask many players. I believe there will be many players willing to help you.Aug-14-2024

Elden Ring DLC: The Horribl ...
When it comes to the lore in the game, it is estimated that no other game can have as many complex and profound lore and secrets as Elden Ring, which consists of one feature of the game. Elden Ring provides amounts of theories and backstories as the material to discuss, such as the true form of Mohg’s weapon. Elden Ring developers are always accustomed to hide mysterious elements and horrible details when designing characters. This enhances the eerie atmosphere of the game. The complex weapon design in the game also attracts players’ enthusiastic curiosity. Some players even spend hundreds of hours exploring the details of some weapons and characters. For example, there are still some players exploring the reason why Roundtable Hold burns, how overwhelming Morgott really is, as well as that Marika possibly served herself as food to a snake. Now, some details about Mohg’s Sacred Spear have been excavated by players, and then they have discovered its unusualness. For example, some players think that the spear was molten and can not be viewed as a human form as before. Let’s take a look at the terrifying details of Mohg’s Sacred Spear. The Description Of Mohg And His Sacred Spear Here comes the detailed description of Mohg. Mohg, Lord of Blood, defines as a Demigod Boss within Elden Ring base game, who uses a trident-like spear to perform ferocious attacks. If you encounter him in the game and find him tricky to deal with, it is recommended to devote some Elden Ring Runes to refine your builds or get more powerful weapons. Mohg is an optional boss in the base game resides in Mohgwyn Palace, mainly performing Bloodflame magic. Players must defeat Mohg to unlock Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Based on the still life, this spear seems to be covered in tiny bodies. According to a post by a player on Reddit, this trident spear is obviously layered with faceless, humanoid forms that seem to be sucked into the blade and mixed together, bearing the pattern like a dripping matter. In the game, the description of this spear is roughly as follows: Trident of Mohg, Lord of Blood. A sacred spear that will come as a symbol of his dynasty. Players Astonished By Mohg’s Sacred Spear Some time ago, there was no discussion about the horror of this spear. Although there was a discussion about what Mohg’s Sacred Spear was covered with, it was considered being melted wax running down the blades. Now, as more horrific details are excavated, the genuine horror of Mohg’s Sacred Spear is gradually discovered. According to player feedback, Mohg’s Sacred Spear is as terrifying as Mohg, who bears a ghastly face of horns accompanied by a bulky stature. Moreover, his intricate robes together with grand pauldron also define him. According to the discovery of a Reddit user, Mohg’s Sacred Spear is inundated by small nude bodies. This view shocked many players. Some people also compared it to Enir Ilim, the symbol of power. Currently, there are very limited resources about the legend of Mohg’s Sacred Spear. Although it has only been noticed now, it has undoubtedly aroused the players’ enthusiastic curiosity and imagination. It is precisely such countless details that have created such a great game. The above is the sharing of the horror details of Mohg’s Sacred Spear that has sparked heated discussions recently. If you have ever fought against Mohg’ in the game, I believe you will also be very interested in this detail. If you have also found some new things in the game, welcome to join iGMeet discord to discuss. There will also be plenty of exquisite gifts for free in Giveaway channel. Finally, I wish you a happy game journey.Aug-20-2024
