One of the most talked about mysteries in Elden Ring’s community is what are the origins of Melina, the character who guides our tarnished character to becoming the Elden Lord. While Hidetaka Miyazaki has refused to answer where exactly Melina hails from, he has now given fans another puzzle of solving who exactly is Messmer the Impaler, and the answer lies in a theory stating how Queen Marika possibly had another husband.
There are a lot of speculations that have surfaced over the years guessing who exactly is Melina, but this recent one might finally be able to bring the fans answers all the players have been looking for so long.
How Melina And Messmer Are Related In Elden Ring
As theorized by this user on Reddit, it is very much possible that Melina and Messmer are siblings. Since not much has been revealed about either of them, it is easy to speculate their origins through the given hints in the game combined with a little creativity from fans.
The user additionally comments on how Queen Marika and Dragonlord Placidusax were together and united at one point in time, bearing Marika and Messmer as children. It has been revealed through the video description of the official gameplay trailer of the DLC how the Land of Shadow is the place where Marika first set foot, which would explain Messmer’s presence in the new realm.
The user also predicts how Farum Azula must have been a part of the Land of Shadow but was eventually ripped apart and taken away by the storm placing it far away from where it is supposed to be at. Farum Azula’s placement at the Land of Shadow would explain the union between Marika and Placidusax, allowing her to give birth to Melina and Messmer.
Who Is Messmer the Impaler And Why He Might Be Related To Dragons
Messmer has been a character surrounded by mystery ever since he was first introduced to fans in the aforementioned trailer. As many would have observed for themselves, he is kept surrounded by snakes and flames which helps tell more about his character and what the player might be dealing with. Additionally, the significance of his character can be understood by seeing how he is the only one who is featured on the main cover for the coming DLC.
The only other beings that manage to capture the essence of snakes and flames surrounding their character are dragons in the world of Elden Ring, which is ultimately the reason it has been predicted that Placidux is the father of Messmer. Another factor to consider is how he mentions his “mother” in the DLC’s trailer, which, bearing in mind how Messmer is found in the Land of Shadow, would make sense to assume he was talking about no one else but Marika.
Elden Ring is available to purchase on Steam.
