Let's Dissect the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Story Trailer
It's time we had "the talk" about Miquella.
From Software recently released a new story trailer for the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Here, we see more about Messmer the Impaler, Miquella the Unalloyed, and a whole cast of new NPCs to meet. But who is Miquella and what are his intentions? Is he like Griffith from Berserk?
In this video, let's take a deep dive into the new trailer, talk about lore, and share some predictions on what the upcoming expansion is about.

Subconsciously I always felt this, but you just put it to words excellently. I know I'm just saying what a lot of others have already said, but between @Michela, @SinclairLore, @HoneyBat, @Miss_chalice and @ZullietheWitch, the insight gap I've experienced from fem exclusion in gaming is filling over the brim as i discover more and more from this awesome content! tyty for making it <3 Looking for more

      This is so sweet! I'm glad you're getting into my Bloodborne videos! To this day these are my favorites and I'm proud of them. I definitely saw a rift between what Gehrman saw of Maria and who she actually was. This is why the Doll ends up being so unsettling to him (and why we as players feel put off by how he treats her in-game.) He couldn't capture who Maria was because he never fully saw her as a person. This happens in real life too! I hear you, and I'm glad you mentioned names like Sinclair and Zulie! I love both of their channels.

    Many Women can't understand Mens ability to "see" only the best qualities of the women in our life, but you see examples of men who can treat their spouse as though they are perfect even to this day. Now it is considered putting one on a pedestal and is seen as obsession, once it was romantic and expected. When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong

    • @Michela

      Gehrman still doesn't see Maria for all that she is as a person, only his vision of her. In the way we see him treating the Doll (and in the Doll's clothing item description) it's meant to feel off-putting and disturbing, because it is.

    Now, after the latest update, most of which consists of a rather expensive DLC, it's still quite a disappointment compared to what they promised until the last moment. And yet many gaming magazines and such have named Cyberpunk2077 game of the year, again, almost immediately. And I don't think that's because these people were bribed, ass kissers or anything, I think they just don't want to admit to themselves that they were fooled. Everyone WANTED the game to be a masterpiece, but we always felt it was a bit too ambitious. So who are we going to blame? Do you want to hate your beloved developer? The saint? We can't blame keanu reeves for getting sucked into this, right? Who's to blame then? Or can we just say, "It's not the game of the century, but no one really expected it to be anyways?" If Ubisoft or EA released a game like this, with the same hype, then people might call it "too good to be true", but most people might just say "what else did you expect" and rip it to shreds. Half the hype and it would be even worse. But in this case, we wanted it to be great, we wanted to give them another chance, and another, and another. After all, we don't want them to close and bury the Cyberpunk or Witcher franchise with them. But the marketing and finished product contradiction might be the biggest scam I have witnessed in gaming, because of the scale of the company behind it And since they made their money by marketing alone, I fear this is going to have a really bad influence on the industry

    Little thing you missed, its likely that the hunter's nightmare made her weaker, Kos's form of retribution and torture was to force her to rely on the blood blades she detested, and yet, like everything she sought to achieve in life, no matter her effort the world kept it's boot on her neck, her master thought of her as little more than a nice body, her hunting career ending in her murdering hundreds of innocents and defiling Kos's body, and her attempt to help the patients meant nothing, everything she worked so hard for and it all ended with her own suicide. Her pressure blades cast away, the patients she cared for all doomed to die horrible deaths. Its not a coincidence she's so close to the living failures. her life was a failure, but not for lack of effort.

  • @dadevi
    @dadevi 3 месяца назад

    I believe Miquella set a lot of things in motion to get to the Shadowlands. He has Melania and Mohg guarding two parts of himself in order to prevent anyone from following him. I believe that both of them are being controlled by him due to the charming powers he has. After all, why fight your enemy when you can just convince them to do what they want? I also believe he's the most similar to his mother Marika, considering how many people she's decieved and conquered.

    • @Michela
      @Michela 3 месяца назад

      That's an interesting take. However, I wouldn't say he'd choose to have someone like Mohg "protecting" him, especially since I have a feeling that he'd be aware of how Mohg was in general. It's no secret that he was vying for power himself. I get the sense that Malenia wasn't loyal to him for his charm but instead because of the special bond they had. Mohg was charmed to the point of obsession. He stole Miquella's egg while he was still in a pupa state and unresponsive, which, again, is something nobody would choose. I suppose we'll see when the DLC comes out.

    I believe it was smoughtown or square table gaming that first mentioned this in their trailer coverage but the soldiers for the unseen war are all masked more like it's an execution. There's no honor no glory no Fame to be gained from this war because it is just a slaughter of Innocents. I get that vibe when I hear a war that couldn't be put to song, there's no glorious tale to sing just misery and blasphemy.

    What surprises me the most is that with Fromsoft we should never take things for granted 😁 Before the first gameplay trailer, the introduction of Messmer and the Land of Shadow.. i was 100% sure the dlc was gonna be centered around Godwyn.. that black rotted erdtree we saw in the first teaser image looked like the one raising from his corpse too. Now, after both the gameplay trailer and this last story trailer he is not even mentioned or seen once, instead we got new characters and almost a completely new plot.. except for Miquella who is still as enigmatic as ever. In this trailer the narrator is most likely that blonde woman knight who kneels in front of Miquella's rune, she says Miquella abandoned everything.. " his golden flesh, his blinding strenght ", so.. if we really will have to fight him.. could it be what is left of him? The "things" he abandoned born as a new entity? Could St. Trina instead of Miquella's alter ego be this? So many questions While i see all the similiarities with Griffith, i still want to believe that Miquella is indeed kind and benevolent, even tho the Bewitching Branch description and the Castle Sol eclipse stuff are SUS AF You know we are both into Yu-gi-oh, and Miquella's cocoon got me thinking back to when the pharaoh uses the 3 god cards to travel to the world of memories, it was not a real time travel to the past, the events that happened 5000 years ago still remained valid, it was the final shadow game set up by Bakura/Zork.. ( at least this is what i came to think by watching the anime, i still need to read the manga but still ) so could we do a similar thing? Like, to access the dlc we are going to touch the withered arm from the cocoon, is the corpse inside still alive? Dreaming? Do we enter the dream? Like the Hunter's Nightmare? Miyazaki said "The DLC will use a separate leveling system borrowed from Sekiro" In an interview with Famitsu, but that got me puzzled, are our levels and builds even gonna matter? Maybe since it's a dream, our character is gonna dream too so they are gonna start anew in the world of shadow? And ultimately, are our actions ever gonna change the state of that cocoon? if from it is gonna emerge another orphan of kos-like being and we will have to fight it, will it be "the things that Miquella abandoned"? Or maybe corrupted by Mohg's influence? Soo many questions Coming back to Godwyn i bet he is indeed in the dlc, Messmer while bein the "poster boy" i got a feeling won't actually be the final boss but we shall see There is also another thing... this might sound stupid but... if you preordered the base game 2 years ago you get " The Ring " gesture, where our character creates a circle/ring with his arms at the top of his head, now with this dlc if we preorder we are gonna get "Miquella's ring", like you said in the video, same thing as before but this time the ring is on the right side of our body instead of the top. Is this like a pattern? And if so, isn't one missing? A third gesture similar to Miquella's ring but on the opposite side on the left? If one would put all these 3 gesture TOGETHA they would resemble the Elden Ring logo with the circles I know Miyazaki said this is going to be the first and last ER DLC but what if...? Could Godwyn really be absent here and saved for later in a third dlc? Even Dark Souls got multiple dlcs instead of one Still, ER and Shadow of the Erdtree are massive compared to past games so maybe not In "The Books of Knowledge" volume 2 of Elden Ring that came out last year, when talking about the roundtable hold Miyazaki says it's a place outside of time and space but connected to the erdtree, that's why when the erdtree burns the roundtable burns aswell, however when asked as to WHY the roundtable exists Miyazaki replied that it is something they decided not to touch in THIS game, but that the two fingers plays a key role in it. Was this a hint to new roundtable lore in the dlc? ...or future installments like Elden Ring 2? Wall of text aside, amazing work Michela!! almost 17 minutes of video but it passed like a breeze, again so many questions but the wait is almost over!

    • @Michela
      @Michela 3 месяца назад

      This is such an insightful comment! The story trailer raised as many questions as it answered. I'm fascinated as to the idea of the DLC expanding on Godwyn, but now it seems clear it's going to be about exploring the Realm of Shadows, learning more about Mesmer, and finally solving more of the puzzle that is Miquella (hopefully.) The Roundtable Hold is still a concept I don't fully understand (even though your description helps) but it would be interesting to see Shadow of the Erdtree expand upon it further.
