i also think its actually a pretty solid idea even if i think that the og theory creator doesnt know enough about the lore to understand all the theories implications.

also i personally feel that melina is more akin to the marika, radagon situation with it being miquella was the original personality and melina/trina was her own person and perhaps the adult version of trina being so terrifying was actually the version of her we saw during the flame of frenzy ending and her purple eye isnt the gloam eye of the gloam eyed queen but the sleep magic within her AND that puts even more about 'her mother' into perspective as she would be talking as her purpose from 'her mother' actually techincally being to miquella and it was just to st. trina by proxy

Hi @timdiggity thanks for that great Video Please let me add some great Thinks to bring us all to more great Content. 1. St.Trina aka Melina alias Miquella is also the One who established the Maiden System and whom the Maidens drew their Power from similar to how the Godskins Channeled there Power from the Gloam-Eyed Queens Flame, the Maidens Channel there’s trough St.Trinas Flame aka Miquellas Torch. Melina was the Only one who had to look for a Flame, that is the purpose given to her. 2. Originally Torrent is from the Land of Shadows Miquella created him there. In the DLC Trailer someone said: I’m asking myself what “kind” Miquella was doing there. What he meant is what kind of creatures is Miquella creating in the Land of Shadows with the Help of Unalloyed Gold and all his Wisdom he gathered in the Lands Between. Fun Note: “Kind” means Child in German🫥 The Whistle is Made out of Unalloyed Gold and summons Torrent from the “Land of Shadows”. If the Crucible is really in the Land of Shadows that would explain alot. 3. Maidens are related to that Hand Gesture and someone in the Lands Between hunted them down. We don’t really know the Full Story about that Topic but I hope the DLC will give us those kind of answers. 4. Divesting thy Flesh - Yes Fromsoftware but with “What” and how “much” of it is something all of Marikas Children did, some willingly and others did not even had a Choice… I believe it’s a criteria if those Demigod children want to ascend. Gideon said that all of us should continue to struggle unto eternity because the Rune of Death was sealed and no one really died in the Lands Between because of Marika/Radagon. 5. I believe Melina/Miquella dislikes the Frenzied Flame because that was originally the Worst possible outcome for the Lands Between. Please consider that what happened or what we will find in the Land of Shadows is either older than the 2 or 3 Fingers established Existence and Working Mechanics or worse than the Frenzied Flame Ending because why wouldn’t Marika Hide something like that from the Lands. Maybe the Fingers and the Divine Towers are originally from the Land of Shadows. And in the Frenzied Flame Ending it looks like Melina is even stronger and threatens the Lord of Frenzied Flame. 6. The Black Knive Assassins are presumably Scions of the Eternal City and Godwyn is the Scion of the Golden Bough. Maybe his children or his personal Maidens who betrayed him. Maybe Maidens are all related to the Golden Lineage. I hope I could help the Community I have more but let’s Stop here Thanks

Either Messemer or some as of right now unknown random guy.

From the shoulders down, Morgotts corpse resembles the headless demigod bodies in the Mausoleums, so whoever is in the egg, they are a demigod of some sort

I could kind of understand why people would think that, but I don’t think it’s the case for one reason: Miquella was kidnapped way after Messmer waged war. From what we see, the hidden war was long ago, and was right after the Golden Order was made. So, it’d be really confusing if Messmer waged war, then got possessed by Miquella somehow, and now he’s just a corpse in an egg.

​@@satorrotas93in Jungian psychology (which is what Elden Ring is partially based on) sleep, or more specifically lucid dreaming and interpretation are used as tools to communicate with the unconscious aspects of yourself. This practice leads to shattering of the Persona/social mask that we all wear. As well as a confrontation with the Shadow which is the repressed and/or unacceptable aspects of ourself. It goes much deeper than this but that's a decent start.

I like your theory about Mezmer being Miquella because somewhere in the game i remember reading or hearing how the people of the lands between all feel compelled to worship Miquella as if it were not their own will and this gets into the meaning of the word, Mesmerize, like the name of the new demigod You also mentioned the snake in the cocoon and this association with blood are both associated with the outer gods, the Night Mother and the Great Serpent In Morgotts monologue, he reveals his contempt when addressing the thrones, as if they were all in cahoots, within the shadow of the Erdtree, where the enemies of the Erd Tree reside and weave their plans. The serpent was also tied in with Rykard and these are all red phantom Coventry, so to speak. Also, before Morgott fight, you can summon Melina and she uses a couple of unique skills; the erd tree daggers like Margit/Morgott but also the Erd Tree healing spell. This would make sense that Melina is the shadow of Marika or maybe Ranni; being an assassin but also a proxy of the Erd Tree 2 finger assassins, but in Rannis case she rebelled. 1 more thing that comes to mind are the Baleful Shadows sent to assassinate the enemies of the 2 fingers/Erd Tree. So think of it as the shadows cast of the 2 fingers, with light from the Erdtree. This may also be what Goldmask is actually studying, the broken patterns of light and shadow are like a binary matrix code that he can interpret. It seems to me that every core story character may have a shadow double
@kaylalitz1410
@kaylalitz1410 25 дней назад
Dude the light and shadow part of what your saying is so so cool. Honestly I never thought about that but like all the outer gods are kinda light sources if you think about it. The moon, the sun, the erdtree, the different fires associated with outer gods. All casting shadows when effecting an object. The fact there is so much shadow and light imagry feels important. Like the duality of it and the splitting of one thing into two also feels like a great explanation along with chemistry/ alchemy imagry for having like duality of chemicals or reactions. Or mixed metals being heated up and made unalloyed/it's untrained, original state in cruicibles. So much like whole imagry and it's divisions/dualities. Like the many combos of merika/radagon, melania/miquiella, the empyreans to their shadows, the erd tree and it's shadow realm. The goldmask comment you made also is so thought provoking!!

ANOTHER CONNECTION!!!!! If Miquella is Melina, who is St. Trina. It makes COMPLETE sense why Miquella was trying to revive/summon another Greater Being in Castle Sol! 🤯 He is very familiar with the Rot God AND Frenzy Flame, as well as how to summon AND repel ANY Outer Gods he wants. He learned to repel them through his needle as well as he learned that it requires ENORMOUS AND VAST amount of prayer/begging/sorrow/desire etc. whatever the feeling, it takes a vast amount of people to pray for a wish that baits and calls forth an Outer Being. So he tried to get the inhabitants of castle Sol to all wish for his Brothers revival and promised them salvation at the Haligtree to tempt their desires and make the prayers stronger, similarly as all the Merchants in the catacombs wished for revenge and summoning the Frenzy Flame…. However as the final ghost in the castle states…”Their Prayers Were Not Strong Enough..” and that’s probably because it was never THIER wish to begin with, they weren’t suffering like the Merchants or Mohg/Margott. It was a prayer given to them, it wasn’t their own. And so they were never able to summon any type of new Outer Will and Miquella had to move on to a new plan

Crazy theory: GEQ is Marika’s Dark Moon (Numen) shadow self making GEQ-type traits pass down to her children along with their Father’s ancestry. Melina inherited Radagon fire + Gloam eye traits which emerged with the release of Death. Miquella inherited day/gold + slight Numen mind control ability (compel) while Trina inherited night/silver + slight Numen mind control and GEQ-lite ability (sleep). Godwyn was the Scion of the Golden bough but became the Prince of Death (switched aspects from light/life to gloam/death). I don’t think Marika could control her GEQ shadow self, so removed it and sealed it away to establish dominance over her own shadow self. I doubt she was counting on Ranni’s GEQ traits kicking in since Radagon fathered her and saw shattering the ring as the only way to keep her GEQ shadow self sealed off, thus sealing Melina’s eye as well. Melina is probably more the GEQ aspect’s daughter than the Marika aspect’s. The shapes of the Godslayer’s Sword and the Sacred Relic Sword to me hinted at opposite sides of the same whole. Maybe, anyway.

One thing, though, about the corpse in the egg being Messmer’s: Messmer was alive and waging wars long before Miquella was even alive, let alone before Miquella cocooned himself, and Messmer was most likely locked away in the Shadow Realm long before Miquella was around, so… I don’t see how a guy could be doing all this crazy stuff, only to end up a mummy in an egg while being called a different name. Reason for why I think this: in the story trailer, we see Messmer burning stuff down, and it’s said that after Marika made the Golden Order, a huge war broke out. We got a warmonger as Messmer, lining up real nice after Marika started the Golden Order, and after that, it’s presumed Messmer’s locked up because Marika wants to hide how the Erdtree was made. How would Messmer then end up in a cocoon, which ends up with Mogh? That’s a little bit all over the place, IMO.

Miquella casts away his flesh to live in a spirit existence and remove himself from his curse of eternal childhood. Who’s to say Messemer from the shadow realm didn’t steal his body while it was empty? We know Ranni cast away her body but that was through destined death shenanigans so the body died permanently. Miquellas body could be a manipulated husk.

Yall remember how Mohg took Miquella before his tree finished? There are stone looking trees that are usually around ancestral followers and blue zappy spirits, that have the tops of them broken off. You cam see ancestral spirits emerge out of some trees, and it makes me think the zappy spirits do too. If Miquella, while sleeping, dreamed of helping his sister. He could be the blue fairy that helped her seal rot away, within her self. The different existences could be like how when fillianore wakes up, a different reality is shown. But in this case Miquella could be a different person as he sleeps. St Trina is known to have dissappear as quickly as she showed up. I think St Trina was Miquella's dream form that bewitched people with her dreamy appearance. If it was a fully grown spirit with full grown wings, it would explain why it's weird that Miquella cursed with youth, would have an older dream form. Thing is though, the frenzy eye looks like the same as the sleep status effect eye, but awake and pissed. The person obsessed with St Trina may have also been Miquella himself, obsessed with becoming his other self in a dream that actually happened. The briar set has a medallion on the chest of winged beings fighting a manticore. It has a head that looks like serosh, insect like wings and a big scorpion tail. It looks like it emerged from a crucified demon that can pop it's own head off and form a new body going from demon Medusa lady to manticore after ditching her crucified body, to be defeated by the winged beings that look like valkrye. Even the horse a guy is riding has wings, but I think this is the fairy defeating the manticore and sealing it away. It links like she is sheathing her sword around the still forming tendrils of the undying manticore, sealing it and herself away like a stonesword seal. I believe this was a secret story of St Miquella and the manticore. The manticore reforms out of red snakes, and whoever the fairy was sealed herself away with it. I think Miquella got corrupted by what she sealed away in his dream of helping his sister.

I think makenia not having it could be explained by the meddling of the outer goddess of rot, rotting her abilities and magic as well as body and mind.

At 15:56 the mentioning of St. Trina's Crystal Ball using sleep to calm those affected by the frenzy flame... makes so much sense as to why NOT ONLY Melina (or i guess aka Miquella) would show up to dissuade you from taking the path of frenzy flame... but WHY there's also a projection of Mohg protecting the secret entrance to the 3 fingers in the Cathedral of The Forsaken. My theory is that Mohg did not abduct Miquella. I think it was Miquella's plan to enlist (or bewitch) help from Mohg. If Melina is a bodiless projection of Miquella, it would make sense that there's a bewitched projection of Mohg as well guarding the 3 fingers. I think this is also why Malenia never says anything to the affect of "Where's Miquella gone? Who took him?" etc etc.. she's not looking for him ...instead she patiently awaits his return, as promised.

FWIW, when you burn yourself as kindling with the Frenzied Flame, you fall into the giant flame brazier but still wake up in Farum Azula. So you could think of it like death and falling asleep are both entrypoints into FA, strengthening the connection between the two.

I think melina could even be an aspect of marika as she was born at the foot of the erdtree. It all depends whether or not she was around during the shattering or if that was the point when she came to be.

When it’s said that he’s divested himself of his own body, I think it’s the same thing that Ranni did when she took over the doll, or the inverse of what happened to Godwyn. His physical body has died, but his soul is still out there somewhere inhabiting a new form. It would be interesting to see if they somehow connect Godwyn and Miquella into one being.

The "different existences" Miyazaki is referring to is most likely refering to the Tolkein idea of seperate existences, where a single entity can split into multiple entities all with their own consciousness, ideals and goals but who are still technically the same person. An idea born from the holy trinity, which is as always extremely relevant in any Miyazaki game considering how he likes to base a lot of lore and themes around the history of the catholic church as well as his very tolkein style of fantasy. DS1, BB, DS3 and ER all have stories that spend a long time focusing on his versions of the catholic church. Just makes it a lot easier to understand how these very different people can be the same person and act differently at the same time.

Maybe it’s the case that Miquella, Melina and Messmer are all St. Trina? The ‘tri’ comes from the 3 aspects making it up. We have all the evidence here linking Miquella and Melina and St. Trina, but the etymology of the name Messmer has connotations of hypnosis and stuff, Messmer’s flame and eye markings could be linked to Melina’s burned and bodiless state and her own eye markings. Maybe St. Trina is the ‘tri’ amalgamation of Miquella and his forgotten aspects of Messmer and Melina, locked in the land of shadows, and he’s trying to regain his identity in the DLC. Perhaps when Messmer was sealed away in shame by Marika, he projected himself as Miquella to the Lands Between to be a more acceptable version of himself, one which could not age for some reason, and perhaps Miquella never even knew of this. Melina could have come later, representing the broken, burned, hidden away piece of Miquella’s identity and his link to Messmer that he can’t make fit. Perhaps she was only available to him when he is asleep, a subconscious, dream fuelled projection of his fragmented psyche birthed in a state of hypnosis, making her ‘St. Trina’ and linking to Messmer’s namesake, and hence, perhaps she only came to be when Miquella rested with the whole Mohg situation. It’s a bit hard to fit all of this in one comment, but I think it makes sense. Miquella is Messmer is Melina. Taken as a whole, they are St. Trina.

St Trina is referred to as "of the cradle song." It's (probably) the song the merchants play. It's implied that miquella had compassion for them, just like he had compassion for all the rejected people of the lands between, and he tried to help them stave off the frenzied flame, which is reinforced by the needle releasing you from its influence, but not harming you in any way. Melina, on the other hand, says she's going to kill you for becoming lord of frenzied flame, and never says, "hey man, we all make mistakes. just use the needle so we can be bros again." Doesn't sound like the same person to me. If Melina is the gloam eyed queen and also st trina, why are the godskins susceptible to sleep, when canonically, any enemy associated with a particular status or damage type is resistant to it? Why wouldn't melina just straight up give us the spirit calling bell after giving us the whistle if it was hers? I do think ranni and miquella were working together at some point, given kale snoozing through our conversation with her, as well as miquella's followers at castle sol praying for an eclipse and miquella seemingly sending malenia to kill radahn to allow the stars to be set in motion again. There are also a bunch of miquella's lilies at renna's rise, as well as at least one st trina's lily at ranni's rise. I think miquella allowed mohg to abduct him specifically because he knew the blood ritual would separate his soul from his body, just like ranni did, but instead of inhabiting a puppet, he went to the realm of shadow, possibly to find Godwyn, or perhaps to gather intelligence about Marika. Messmer could very well be melina's alter, since he's 1, into flame, 2, hanging out in the spirit realm, 3, has the symbol of the serpent, which is associated with blasphemy, just like the burning of the erdtree was blasphemous, and 4, has the proportions of an Emperean and bears a resemblance to radagon with the red hair, which seems to be a shared feature of the most powerful of marika's children. What I find interesting is melina doesn't have flaming red hair: hers is a muted pink, which would imply that she's diminished in some way. Maybe the bulk of her power is in messmer in the shadow realm, but she can still act as a conduit for the flame of the giant's forge. If melina is the gloam eyed queen and led a rebellion against the golden order (another blasphemous act), dying in the attempt, it would make sense that she would be stricken from the record, and gideon, an avid reader, never heard of her. Marika may have confiscated everything that referenced melina and either destroyed it or kept it locked down, like the stacks of stone tablets we find in the queen's bedchamber. melina can be summoned as a cooperator in the morgott fight, and casts an incantation we've never seen used anywhere else. Miquella was known to invent incantations, which some might theorize strengthens the miquella is melina argument, but he may have gifted his sister with it in the same way he gifted Radagon with one. A plausible series of events might look something like this: miquella invented the steed whistle, which can only summon torrent, as well as the incantation melina uses in the morgott fight, then melina died, then miquella invented the spirit calling bell and gave it to ranni to give to us before shutting himself away in the cocoon. What was the point of the whole thing? I think the player is the reincarnation of miquella. How else can you explain torrent choosing us? How else can you explain us being able to weild every weapon and spell we lay hands on? And why do so many people in this hyper aggressive world trust us on sight? Why is Varre waiting for us from the beginning, and why did he seemingly kill our maiden? I think miquella, "the divinity," put him up to it. I think miquella wanted ranni to become the god of the new age, and wanted to be her consort, but in order for their reign to be free of the outer gods entirely, they both had to kill their bodies.

Also, and finally, Marika won. To kill the beast you have to kill the current god and in the end of the game whe se that god, the one with the elden ring inside, is Radagon. Once the beast and Radagon die, the only thing remaining is Marikas body with the elden ring inside, forever, without demigods that can usurp her,a god eternal.

The idea of multiple manifestations of an entity existing for different reasons refers to a real life occult concept known as emenantions. Taken from anceint Judaic and Vedic concepts, it's the idea that divine beings will split off a reflection of themselves to fulfill specific purposes within the lower realms. In the same manner a human might have multiple characters within an MMO for different mission specific loadouts. The irony is both of those examples are known as avatars. :)

Interesting that you @agtjake mentioned different "existences". We know for a fact that the Shadow Realm was once a place in the Lands Between that physically disconnected later. What if the Shattering was the reason why the Shadow Realm disconnected? It seems like everything there is stuck in a state the predates the Shattering whith dead Godwyn being very important. Maybe the Miquella's many identities are the results of the Shattering? Messmer seems to be an amalgamation of Sin while the Miquella seems to be an amalgamation of Virtues.

maybe melina is part of the tree fused somehow, after maybe dealing with a attack with the frenzied flame by someone maybe like vyke. she probably was sealed up as she crossed paths with him. and that's probably why she would rather any ending besides the frenzy ending. maybe their stories intertwine somehow idk.

Late to the party but sudden epiphany! "St. Trina of the Cradlesong" - the honorific is quite unique in this world, calling to mind babies, specifically. The Gloam-Eyed Queen "swaddled" the Godskin Nobles. which is another term that is usually used in reference to the bundling of an infant as they're placed in a cradle. To further chase this rabbit trail, and falling in line with other theories, gloam or 'dusk' if you will, is the bridge of day into night; the time when most creatures begin to prepare for sleep (also note 'dusk' and 'dreams' are very closely linked in mythos and literature). So I see no issue with Melina being the Gloam-Eyed Queen, who is simultaneously an aspect of St. Trina. It's quite common for different titles to be given to people based on the perception of their interactions and the roles they play at a given time. As an add on diverging down another path, I've always thought that it is strange that Mohg's blood spells are fiery. Well, if he's using the blood of Mesmer the fiery effects would make a lot of sense to me. OH! And one more thing, but this one's probably pretty weak, but might as well mention it while tossing ideas around, it's an interesting parallel that Melina states she was born at the foot of the Erdtree and we clearly see the spot where Miquella's cocoon was torn...from the base of the Haligtree. And upon revisiting a picture reference of Malenia's arena, the face of the figure we see in the roots seems to have a marred left cheek. Love this game and community so much! Have a wonderful holiday to my American friends and a great weekend to the rest of the world!

Also, the Golden Epitaph sword doesn't just 'do extra damage' to those who live in death, when it kills them... they Stay Dead. Instead of coming back to life, that is... if you don't damage the corpse before they reconstitute. So, if Miquella wants Godwin to die and stay dead via a 'proper death'... this was probably an early attempt, but it just wasn't strong enough. Hence, the attempted use of whatever special properties the Eclipse has at Castle Sol.

the side saddle riding of torrent is a representation of miquellas fertility as side saddle was a means of riding a horse for royal women so as not to break their hymen and ruin their purity because the bouncing on regular riding could actually do that. So idk if melina being side saddle really has a meaning in this but is actually more evidence of melina being royalty prior to her body burning and becoming a spirit

My position with all the speculations lately: - Malenia most likely fought Radahn to make the stars move, since we need to kill him to enter the DLC. - The body on the cocoon is Mesmer, the size of the corpse and the ring on the hand resembling snakes. - You have a point, Miquella used his blood to grow the Haligtree so is possible that the "Lord of Blood" just cared about the blood on the cocoon. - The Gloam Eyed Queen was Marika main rival so she existed before Miquella, but what if the same way Malenia is afflicted by the Elder God of rot, Miquella is afflicted by the Elder God that that Gloam Eyed Queen served, and the same way Shabriri can hop bodies and "infect" others (Hyetta), maybe the Gloam Eyed Queen exist through Miquella alter ego (aka, St Trina). - There is the purple butterflies on the new spell shown on the DLC trailer, in the foot of the Haligtree there is a set of the same butterflies. It could be the butterflies that represent St Trina. - Miquella could've "divested himself of his flesh" trying to be free from an Elder God, in doing so separating his conscience from the Gloam Eyed Queen.

I doubt tarnished have to "divest themselves of their flesh" to die and go to the land of shadow. it is likely related to miquellas' being a demigod and needing to separate themselves from the two fingers and the influence of the greater will to truly die just as ranni did.

I really dont think this is the case if anything I think Melina is Messmr's twin. He also has a closed right eye. Maybe Messmr and Melina are somehow like bizzaro versions of Miquella and Melania possessing the opposite vices and virtures? Or perhaps they are even all quadruplets. The four of them are too similar to not be closely related and even more so then the other demi gods except maybe Ranni who could also be a doll controlled by Miquella(He definitely has something to do with her transformation).

Why is it so schizo that Miquella is Melina? I mean if their mother can be both male and female. I have been saying this for some time.

I am inclined to believe that the whole purpose of Radagon hooking up with Queen Rennala was to produce offspring to help her deal with /understand the Golden Order.
