Miquella in Shadows of the Erdtree
In the DLC, we'll get to see Miquella of the Haligtree, who is an Empyrean demigod cursed with eternal youth. He created the Haligtree to grow into adulthood and rid Malenia of her rot, realizing the Golden Order couldn't help her. However, before completing the Haligtree's growth, Miquella was abducted by Mohg, Lord of Blood. Despite Mohg's efforts, Miquella remained unresponsive, leading some to believe he is alive but slumbering in a dream world. We supposedly see Miquella in a terrible state, trapped in the broken egg at the beginning of the trailer.
- Elden Ring fans have been speculating about Miquella appearing in Shadow of the Erdtree for a while and they were right! We can't wait to see how this storyline will develop in Shadows of the Erdtree DLC.
