Summary
- Elden Ring fans think Miquella or St. Trina may be the final boss of Shadow of the Erdtree, not Messmer.
- Radahn, Godrick, and Malenia were all characters included in Elden Ring's marketing, but were not the game's final boss.
- Some fans have even gone back to Bloodborne's DLC to prove their case, pointing to poster child Lady Maria being fought before the Orphan of Kos.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elden Ring fans are convinced that Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss fight won't be the villain Messmer, but will actually be Miquella or some other horrible beast that we cannot possibly conceive right now.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's latest story has got people talking about the upcoming expansion yet again, providing new details and plot hints that will have every armchair lore expert speculating until launch. From the trailer, we know that Miquella is indeed the person that was included in the expansion's key art that was released upon its announcement, as well as what potentially could be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:our first proper look at St. Trina.
We also got yet another look at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the expansion's villain in Messmer, who is being built up to be a rather imposing figure that we'll have to cross swords/hammers/axes/big sticks with at some point during Shadow of the Erdtree. However, there are quite a lot of people that think FromSoftware might be building him up too much, and that the game's grand finale will actually involve us having a scrap with Miquella instead.
FromSoftware Loves A Red Herring
As pointed out on the Elden Ring subreddit, the base game's first trailer made a big deal out of Godrick, setting him up as some terrifying villain only for him to be one of the first proper bosses you actually encounter. Radahn and Miquella were also used in the game's marketing up to release; two more bosses that players can take down well before going into the final fight with Radagon and the Elden Beast.
Another user also points out that FromSoftware has a history of using certain bosses as poster children for marketing purposes, only for us to beat them and go on to tussle with something five times as monstrous later down the line. Lady Maria being the boss fight before the Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne's DLC is a prime example of that.
That being said, if Messmer isn't the final big bad of Shadow of the Erdtree, then who is? A lot of theories included in the same Reddit thread tip Miquella to be the expansion's true final boss, given the lack of information we have about him, or possibly St. Trina, as it's been pretty much established at this point that the two are the same or are very closely linked.
Whatever the case, we don't have to wait too much longer to find out, as Shadow of the🦹 Erdtree launches next month on June 21.

After Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, I think I'm ready for a ch♕ange.
