Summary
Elden Ringdirector Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed that the upcoming expansion Shadow of the Erdtree will have multiple endings.
In an interview withZhuanlan, he said that while there won’t be as many endings as in the base game, players will still have several choices to make throughout Shadow of the Erdtree that will impact the overall narrative.
While theDark Souls 3DLC didn’t have multiple endings, you could unlock a secret finale after completing both. Bringing the Blood of the Dark Soul from the Ringed City to the Painted World of Ariandel allows you to create an entirely new world. Some even think that it’sBloodborne.
Miyazaki also clarified that the base game will not impact the different DLC endings. Fans have theorised that killing Malenia wouldimpact whatever happens with Miquella, their brother, in Shadow of the Erdtree, but Miyazaki stresses that the expansion is standalone.
St. Trina Will Appear In Shadow Of The Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree will introduce us to a new character called Messmer,who many speculate is Malenia and Miquella’s brother, but there’s another enigmatic figure who appears to have a connection to the three - St. Trina.
In Elden Ring, there are two crafting materials called Trina’s Lily and Miquella’s Lily, both of which are dropped by Malenia’s Cleanrot Knights. Another link is thatMiquella is found in a deep slumber within a cocoon in Mohg’s arena, and we know that St. Trina’s incantations are used to induce sleep. And if that isn’t enough, you can find a location called St. Trina’s Hideaway which is marked by statues of Miquella and his brother Malenia.
All we know about this mysterious character is that they appeared as suddenly as they disappeared (as per the Sword of St. Trina). It’s possible that they were sent to the Land of Shadow. Some even speculate that Trina and Miquella are one and the same; we’ll find out soon enough as Miyazaki says we’re finally going to meet them in the flesh when the DLC launches on June 21.
