There is an item in Elden Ring called the Bewitching Branch, crafted from a Sacramental Bud watered with Miquella's blood and a Lily made of Unalloyed Gold. Stabbing a non-boss game enemy with this branch causes them to temporarily switch sides and fight other enemies. Elden Ring 's Bewitching Branch consumable item has the following descript

After his triumphant victory, but before the main backstory events of Elden Ring , the Blind Swordsman somehow crossed paths with the young Malenia, a Demigod of the Elden Ring __ born decaying, an Empyrean with the potential to bloom into a virulent Goddess of Rot itself. The Blind Swordsman might have been tempted to slay this ailing Demigod before she could become the new incarnation of his old foe. Instead, he became Malenia's mentor, teaching her his flowing, dance-like style of swordplay. In time, Malenia would make this style of sword-fighting her own, crafting the infamous Waterfowl Dance technique that has rendered so many **Elden Ring ** players apoplectic with r

And there lies the rub. Miquella, for all his good intentions, was reared by a militant aristocracy of divine champions, taught to think of himself as superior to the mortals and menials under the guiding aegis of the Elden Ring. Though he and Malenia rejected the ideals of the Golden Order and sought to create a Haligtree civilization accepting of all, **Elden Ring 's ** Miquella, even inside his egg , may not have fully shed his old paternalistic worldviews, continuing to view his subjects as sheep to be herded, blindsurprise.com used - and sacrificed if necess

Before new players even learn about the existence of the Blind Swordsman, they can acquire information about the origins of this mysterious hero when they pick up the Blue Cloth Set, the signature outfit of Elden Ring 's Warrior starting class . Its item description is as foll

What’s more, the mist being souls explains the few areas in the game where mist exists before the Duskborn ending: the Mistwood and the forest of the Altus Plateau. The Altus Plateau’s woods are directly above where Godwyn is buried, so it would make sense that his curse mark would have infected the area's roots and killed the souls they contained. As for the Mistwood, this is the first area in the game where players have access to the ancient world buried beneath the Lands Between. This ancient world was rejected by Elden Ring 's Golden Order , so it would only make sense that their souls were rejected from the Erdtree and thus smothered the Mistwood in

The relationship between General Radahn and his horse Leonard has to be one of the most-discussed aspects of the character. Before he was a depraved husk of a man withered by Malenia's curse of rot, he was a brave commander who took it upon himself to learn gravity sorceries so that he wouldn't burden his skinny st

Miquella, twin brother of the infamously hard to beat boss Malenia, shares many motifs with Baldur, the fair-haired Norse god of light who was loved by all (and played a major role in God of War 2018 ). Within the game, players only encounter Miquella slumbering inside a mysterious cocoon atop Elden Ring 's hard-to-reach Mohgwyn Palace , his single exposed arm withered and scarred. Multiple item descriptions and a painting in the opening cinematic depict Miquella in his prime as a golden-haired, un-aging child with limitless reserves of vitality, standing in contrast to his tall, red-haired, perpetually rotting sister. Miquella is strongly associated with Golden Order Fundamentalism, a scholarly discipline of faith magic that can conjure halos of light, return the undead to their proper rest, and manipulate physical laws of Causality and Regression in order to cure harmful ailments. He is also famed for being the crafter of Unalloyed Gold, a substance that can ward off the influence of the Outer Gods like the Scarlet Rot or Dark Moon. Using his own blood as fertilizer, he even created the Elden Ring 's missed opportunity, the Haligtree , a towering rival to the Erdtree designed to be a bountiful home for outcast peoples shunned by Marika's Golden Order. All these altruistic feats, contrasted with the warmongering of his Demigod kindred, make Miquella come across as a literal messiah, a saint almost beyond repro

This curse keeps a soul from returning to the Erdtree upon death, and those who bear the curse are looked down upon by society. By cursing all people and future generations, you effectively cut out the Erdtree from the cycle of the world. By having all people bear the curse, you also end the stigmatism towards those who are already cursed. This ending is the most different Elden Lord ending as you change the world permanently by cursing all and cutting off all future souls from the Erdt

This ending is the closest in the game to a straight-up bad ending. By becoming the Lord of the Frenzied Flame, your character will burn the entire world to ashes. While this ending does seem evil at face value and is only barely justified, there is still some reasoning behind it. At the creation of the current world, the Greater Will and Chaos split, shown by the two fingers and three fingers, respectively. The goal of Chaos is to burn the world and return everything together as ash. When looking at the two fingers and three fingers combined, they would make a complete hand, meaning the Greater Will and Chaos could come toget
