Deciphering the story trailer Elden ring shadow of the Erdtree lore


jackjones7062: We were living in the 'post-eclipse' world this entire time, Griffith already became a god and ruled for an eternity in this version of berserk. Quite horrifying.
camelia4603: The story trailer starts with "miquella said" (similar to item descriptions with "it is said"), so I definitely think it's a biased account
gergelymacsai3776: I watched a ton of lore channels tiptoe around what the golden strands Marika retrieves from the corpse of the previous god might be and YOU are the first to finally say it's the Elden Ring. I mean, what else would it be? The theme plays under it, the strands look the same, and it is literally removed from the belly/womb of the slain/betrayed predecessor.

Fantastic work, as always.
chroma9008: Super cool theory! Here's a possible addition to it -- curious what you think of it.

What is Miquella's motivation to go to the land of shadow now? Why didn't he go before? I think it might be because he just found out about his mother's betrayal, who had kept it hidden even from her children.

How might he have discovered this? Because he was trapped by Mogh, in communion with the Formless Mother, who is also known as the 'Mother of Truth.' I don't think that name is a coincidence. Perhaps this Outer God revealed the truth of the Erdtree to Miquella, while still in the cocoon, which would give us a glimpse into Miquella's intentions.

We hear that Miquella cares for the meek and downtrodden (similar to Jesus). If he suddenly discovered the truth that his mother and Messmer were slaughtering so many Crucible-beings to support her illusion, it might enrage him enough to take matters into his own hands and go put a stop to his older brother (Messmer) and mother. After all, "he wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men. There is nothing more terrifying," which could mean that his love for the outcasts may prompt him towards vengeance.

Perhaps then, Miquella does need our help, after all. I'd love that storyline, personally. What do you think of that?
user-kh1ey2wz2y: Definitely the clearest and, imo, most accurate comparison between Elden Ring and Berserker.
By far the best Shadow of the Erd Tree theory/explanation.
This guy knows his stuff.
lespaulmelonburst: Step aside Ziostorm and Ratatoskr, your analysis gave me goosebumps throughout the way
PeacefulSerb: Was waiting for your video man
mrrootytooty5797: I think you are right on all of this, nobody else's analysis makes as much sense :)
Cleoli2: Great analysis! You actually catching the "Ave Marika" in that song is incredible, I havent seen anyone hearing this (me included)
chillylagarto7728: I think that Miquella also seeks to follow in these same footsteps, all so that he'll finally have a solution to Malenia's Scarlet Rot.

The Golden Order has no solution to the Scarlet Rot, Miquella discovered this when his Haligtree fell to the Scarlet Rot itself, despite receiving his blood.

However, to separate himself from the control of the Greater Will, he had to divest himself of his Empyrean flesh much like Ranni. He did this by letting Mohg steal him away and kill him through his corruption.

I don't think Miquella is an "evil" character, he simply has a goal to achieve and is willing to scheme and manipulate those that love him to achieve this goal. His Church of the Eclipse in Castle Sol is far too suspicious for me to think that Miquella is completely innocent.
ATC43: All of this video especially the Golden Item section is brilliant. Of all analysis Ive seen, I think youve cracked the code for what is happening in that intro scene and with Miquella. EXCELLENT VIDEO.
crozraven: Just like Marika = Griffith comparison, I think Miquella real characterization is Miquella = Moonlight boy. From visual alone, we cam already see similarities of how both once cocooned inside an egg, both have split bodies, astral & material, both have moon symbolism. both depicted as a beautiful boy.
ninjabackhand1337: Literally the most competent and comprehensive ER theorist on YT. Amazing video, please keep them coming!
