The renowned video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki has a habit of riddling the players of his games with an unbearable amount of questions in his games. This is also the case for his award-winning title, Elden Ring, where fans spend wondering and coming up with theories for filling gaps and holes in the stories left by the studio.
One such question that riddles a lot of players is about the character of Godwyn the Golden, a demigod and the firstborn of Queen Marika and Godfrey. Not a lot is revealed about Godwyn, but a recent theory has revealed how players might have been overlooking the biggest hint about him all this long.
Players of the game have come to observe how the whole playable map of Elden Ring coincidentally also matches the shape of Godwyn’s decaying body, causing them to come up with some plausible theories.
Elden Ring Map Is Shaped Like Godwyn The Golden’s Body
While it remains unknown if it was done intentionally or just a mere fluke by the developing studio, fans have come up with theories that likely explain the cause of the Elden Ring map looking like Godwyn’s lifeless body.
Knowing Fromsoftware and Hidetaka Miyazaki well, it is highly likely that this is not just a mistake and can play a huge part in knowing more about Godwyn’s character. His lifeless body could be found buried deep in the roots of Erdtree below the Leyndell Royal Capital, and when flipped horizontally, it eerily represents the shape of the Elden Ring Map as pointed out by a YouTuber.

It is easy to notice how the upper part of the map represents the enlarged head on his body, while the lower part of the map is shaped like the fins on Godwyn’s fish-like lower body.
What Could Be The Reason Behind The Elden Ring Map Being Shaped Like Godwyn’s Body
The most plausible theory fans have come up with is how Godwyn is trying to spread his influence across the whole of The Lands Between, influencing the shape of the whole map in the process.
This theory is given credit by the fact that parts of Godwyn’s body have grown across the whole map, with majorly his eyes popping out in the form of roots, especially where those who live in death are found. Even a replica of his face can be found growing in the depths of the Stormveil castle, hinting at how Godwyn is extending and growing his body.
