FromSoftware’s award-winning Elden Ring is a game that seems to never end. There are a lot of number of choices and decisions one can make to achieve different outcomes, which often cause the players to spend a lot of time mastering the game.
While the game currently offers 6 different endings to choose from, it is now highly likely we might be getting to see another secret ending soon in the game. This is speculated due to the hints and leaks of the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring.
The key art for the upcoming extension which was released with the announcement depicts what seems to be Miquella on torrent, looking towards a burned-down Erdtree.
Will There Be A Secret Extended Ending For Elden Ring In Shadow of the Erdtree DLC?
As mentioned before, Many fans pointed out how the key art depicts what seems to be a young Miquella on a steed looking toward the burned-down Erdtree. Considering he wants to usher in a new age, this is a perfect time to seize the opportunity and claim the Elden Ring and its powers for himself.
It is also speculated since the sky is covered by the ashes of the Erdtree, Godwyn will be able to spread his deathblight freely as there will be no sunlight shining upon The Lands Between. This should eventually allow his soul to return to his lifeless body, which remains near the roots of the Erdtree beneath the Leyndell Royal Capital.
The Shadow of the Erdtree extension for Elden Ring is reported to be of massive size according to data miners of the game, offering a lot of new content to look forward to in the game. This particular pattern has also been observed in the previous FromSoftware titles, where a DLC is enough to change how we look at the storyline of the game forever.
It is known already how Miquella and Godwyn the Golden were companions, and Miquella has even in the past tried remedies to bring back the soul of the prince of death, which was to no avail.
What Is Miquella’s End Goal With The Age Of Slumber
Miquella originally tried to imitate the powers of Erdtree by creating the Haligtree, which was free from the authority of The Greater Will. He did so in the hopes of creating an order where every being is accepted equally, but also to cure his curse of eternal youth, as well as his twin sister Malenia’s curse of Scarlet Rot.
Miquella is an empyrean thanks to the fact that he was born to Queen Marika and Radagon, who are just halves of one single entity. This makes him eligible to become the ruler and god of the new age, which seems to be his motive right now.
With the Erdtree now burned down as we finish our journey as tarnished to become the Elden Lord, it is predicted Miquella will soon hatch from his cocoon and will head towards the burned-down Erdtree to claim the Elden Ring for himself, bringing in the Age of Slumber, or the secret 7th ending of the game.
Elden Ring is available to purchase on Steam.
