10 CRUCIAL Things You Missed In The Elden Ring DLC Trailer! | Shadow of the Erdtree 

He hasn't said much but he has confirmed Messmer is a "child of Marika".

They're literally opposite of CDPR on 2020

It’s cause they don’t love bomb. It’s all up to our interpretation till it drops

I think that miyazaki is pretty straightforward with his intentions and doesn't unnecessarily build hype or dance around the bush. For example he flat out confirmed that the dlc will not add another Ending to the game. which must have been a crushing blow to many people. But at least he isn't like "oh I can't say this or that teehee". There hasn't been an instance for me where he said something about the games that I didn't also see reflected when I got to play them eventually.

@@viktorpagels7569 he did say to beat elden ring it would take 30 hours and we all know it took way longer then that

Zio > vat

It also helps that almost all of demigods are twins of some sort (Malenia and Miquella, Morgott and Mogh) so Messmer possibly being Melina's twin isn't far off.

Also just like spirit ranni.

Could be a Radagon/Marika type deal with Messmer/Melina

The m name isn't that big of a deal. Half the bosses in the game start with m. all the shardbearers name start with G, R, or M.. almost as if it was written by George R.R. Martin..

That’s kinda dumb considering the fact that he’s literally a boss. It was a war machine and it was probably fueled by the bodies burning. It has heads attached to its waist as trophies like a warrior would do. It could have definitely killed the corpses and the fact that you have to fight it suggests that it isn’t just “a giant walking around” lol

He didn't kill the corpses bc corpses are already dead by definition. Unless they were undead or sm. dramatic chords

@@travman1987there were some screenshots of the wickergiant walking among other enemy NPC foot soldiers, so I could see him being something similar to the giant stone golems. Not bosses per se, but probably around the same health pool

It's kinda a moot point tho cause its basically a GUNDAM or a tank lol like if its coming through your house and stepping on all your shit people are going to die and then hell pick up the bodies as he goes to keep himself fueled. Bodies fuel the Erd Tree, bodies fuel the blasphemous blade, bodies/blood/fire are a power source in ER. In Dark Souls everyone is undead and you could argue the same in ER with the rune of death being stolen - Ur body maybe dead or immovable but your stuck there until you get recycled or experience a true death.

I keep thinking the gloam eyed queen wasn’t killed but imprisoned in the shadow lands🤷‍♀️

Gloam eyed queen is Melina, she literally one eye that is gloam like

@@rican_921nahh

Yeah it would make sense for the eclipse ritual to have something to do with it since an eclipse casts a shadow on the world

Also don't forget the mystery surrounding Godwyn & also what happens to Tanith after she got done eating rykard's remains

all three wear the same clothing. like same style and color

So its two brothers goofing around and having some fun lol

It would be crazy if any notable characters in Elden Ring had been impaled...

Why like your own comment?

Same, it looks like the true version that you can see in the fell gods eye

It also looks like bloodflame with the thorns coming off it, but also the dragon communion seal, it just looks like his own sort of blasphemous flame made with several types

@@aramkaizer7903When it's first being conjured it certainly looks like those things, though the final result looks more like Giant's Flame. It could be a "true" Giant's Flame, or perhaps a Giant's Flame that is blasphemous which invokes the thorn motif.

@@Shadows_Inc Yeah it's possible that it's a unique and distinctly blasphemous flame conjured to oppose the Erdtree in any way or form

Isn't Giant's Flame the only known way to burn the Erdtree? He's called Messmer "the Impaler," and the mountaintops of the giants is laden with impaled giants. Maybe he helped Marika in the war against the giants but turned against her and stole their flame (or did it in secret).

Yes literally confirmed by Miyazaki

I just shared my opinions on a lot of this in a comment reply on Vaati, but I want to rehash some of it here too! Let's start by proposing someone's theory that Miquella purposefully worked with Ranni to assassinate Godwyn in order to create Deathroot and the Prince of Death, but we wonder why? Well here's now where Messmer comes to mind. Assuming naming conventions still apply, Messmer appears to be a child of Marika/Radagon, even inheriting Radagon's red hair, and his name starts with an M. This aligns with the theories that the smouldering butterflies correlate with Messmer much like Nascent with Miquella and Aeonian with Malenia. Messmer seems very much to be purposely concealed from the public eye. This can be assumed to be due to some sin or blasphemy, be that something in his birth or later actions deemed heretical to the Erdtree. Though hidden away in the Shadow Lands, it can be assumed that Messmer, if a secret triplet of Malenia and Miquella, was born in the Lands Between. In the Haligtree, there are statues of an young adult figure, theorized to be Godwyn, taking care of young Miquella and Malenia. If this is Godwyn, then we know that he sometimes took care of the twins in Marika's place, and with that in mind we can assume that he may even be one of the very few people that even know of Messmer's existence. One farfetched branch of this theory is that Marika, in fact, set the Numen Black Knife Assassins reluctantly on Godwyn to tie up that very loose end so that none remained who knew of or could pursue her forbidden child Messmer. But assuming Miquella and Ranni, instead, were in kahoots behind the Night of Black Knives, then perhaps this is because creating the Prince of Death and Deathroot would allow Godwyn to use Deathroot in order to seek out this hidden land and this lost demigod as well as strangle the Erdtree (if that's what we see as Deathroot wrapped around the Erdtree in the DLC). Perhaps Godwyn shared his knowledge of Messmer with Miquella or someone he wasn't supposed to. Perhaps Miquella caught scent of the blasphemous child through the dreamworld or the Land of Shadows as St. Trina. I want to clarify though that I'm pretty sure Godwyn was murdered in Stormveil acting as lord under the Golden Lineage which is why his body is found there, though buried underneath the Capital. Not entirely 100% positive on that, but I don't think he was murdered in the Land of Shadow if you were trying to posit that theory. And I also want to clarify that I think Miquella sent Malenia after Radahn to end his reign over the stars and make the Eclipse of Sol possible. The other possibilities could be to confirm his alignment with Ranni and uncovering the Dark Moon though she seems alone in that ambition. Perhaps defeating Radahn and unleashing the Meteor Shower rips a hole in the veil that conceals the Land of Shadows, or otherwise interferes in some strange magic or artifact that prevented it from being found? I stick to the eclipse theory, though, as Miquella is heavily related to the whole plot of the eclipse to open the gateway to the soulless demigods and grant Godwyn a true death. I hope the Eclipse is seen to some degree within the DLC whether metaphorically or physically, and some even speculate already that this Land of Shadow to be the forgotten City of the Sun mentioned on a shield carried by skeletons. Sorry for rambling, but I hope this provides some interesting points to consider!

The silver branches remind me of the Age of the Fell Curse ending, in which the entire Erdtree turns silver. Of course, most people don't go for that ending, so they tend to never see the silver Erdtree, lol.

yes! thank you for noticing the purple glintstone in the lanterns (sort of a parallel to the red glintstone lamps & braziers in Volcano Manor)!

Ok now this may be nothing, but this is also in Messmer staff in the DLC main picture when he sits on the throne The staff is the vertical line on the right, and the snake makes the broken circle

That's how both of the moons in the base game appear as well. (Yes, there are two moons over the Lands Between, and likely not by accident.) Not to say you don't make a good point-I feel there are a number of reasons to believe the Carian royals may have a role in the DLC, possibly including Ranni...

@@yosi572 Something else I always found cool is that the Halo Scythes used by Cleanrot Knights resemble Malenia's Great Rune, but with the blade forming only part of the ring. These scythes can sling golden halos developed by Miquella. Furthermore, Cleanrot Knights possess an ability to summon an array of spears from the ground-remimiscent of an attack Messmer uses in the trailer...

🗿

great? 4 months is nothing man, we can wait.

Nah it's 4 months, we already waited 2 years

The fact we already know when it coming out, its not a hollowing no more

This is far from being a hollowing, the fact that we got a trailer + release date means that the hollowing ended

​@@Darkheart00exactly

I noticed this same thing!

It also looks a lot like the pre-order gesture "Ring of Miquella"... Just saying.

the hand is pulling the veil somehow

They do what they want, that's why.

Troll

💯 0

I think after he rips his head/spine out some other entity will use him as a weapon, similar to the Elden Beast and Radagon

There are trees in real life that do this called strangler figs. They steal the sunlight and nutrients from the "host" tree and kill them.

Have a feeling The super fight is gonna be with that sleeping masked figure from the trailer. Near the Trina Lilly’s.

I absolutely will. Just hope it comes out in this lifetime 🤣

I just saw that’s it’s in another image too on the PlayStation store and it looks as if it’s pouring into a temple or structure of some sort

100% intentional

And the "Miquella's Ring" pre-order gesture.

Yeah, Mohg’s great rune is eerily similar to the symbol on Messmer’s back. We need to see Godwyn’s great rune. I firmly believe that Godwyn was a child that Marika had outside of her marriage to Godfrey. It’s strange how she always had twins outside of giving birth to Godwyn too. Like Godwyn was more like Marika. Blonde haired man, what if he had a female form? It would have red hair, no? Maybe that is Melina. Melina and Ranni both have the eye covered because they are linked in the same death. Melina uses holy flame when fighting. The complete opposite of Messmer’s shadow flame. 🤯so many questions!!!

Presumably, there would be no weapon scaling in the DLC. You should be expected to have Max level gear in a Fromsoft DLC

I think it will work on similar principle to how Vendrick and Giant's Souls worked in DS2.
