Elden Ring General Discussion

At least DLC is not like gacha.

you only need to pay once and that’s it

for gacha you have to repeatedly pay to get enough currency to get what you want.

reject gacha
 
That or something like The Ringed City, something that technically happens before the ending (though considering the timeline in ER, it would probably have to happen before the Tarnished reaches Leyndell since immediatly after defeating Morgott, they go the land of the Giants)
 
In any case, the DLC will very likely be about Miquella, though the "Shadow of the Edtree" title might indicate a more general approach, maybe related to the whole royal family and focusing on other members (Miquella, Godwyn, Marika herself or some lesser Demigods since we know many of them were killed before the game).
 
I'm guessing that there'll be a way to interact with Miquella's hand after doing something to meet the requirements, like getting an item after a quest and obviously beating Mohg. Since the wording used was that Mohg stole Miquella's "flesh", it's fully plausible that we might need to take his soul to the cocoon via some method. Then we'll enter some kind of Miquella dream sequence, maybe.

I mean, Miquella's hand being on display like that, right next to a Site of Grace, is a dead give away to me that it'll be interactable in this DLC.

All that I'm hoping for is that Miquella isn't just another "kill that guy" boss.

I kind of want to see more of Mohg, like learning that beating him didn't actually totally put him down.

Also, I hope the DLC will clearly confirm Miquella is a noble character so we can finally throw this stupid "Miquella is evil" theory aside.

But above all, I hope we see more of Marika
 
While Miquella will be in a DLC, I have heard people say that it would be odd to have the starting point be Miquella's hand. To get to Miquella you either have to: Go through an optional side quest, fight an optional boss in an optional mini-dungeon, go to an optional area, go to another optional area and fight another optional boss. Even the more direct way with Varre would still involve doing the optional quest and going through half a optional area to fight an optional boss.

Compare that to other Fromsoft DLC locations and the hand stuff would be significantly more difficult to get to.

Assuminf that's right I do think we'll interact with the hand though. Maybe you can trigger an optional fight with Miquella through it or something.

Ngl, I'm not looking forward to having to fight Miquella because bro seems like the best of all the divine guys? Bro made a whole sanctuary for all those who were treated wrongly by the golden order and so to heal his sister.

Ngl, imagine if the tree in the Malenia arena were suddenly come to life and become a phase boss for Malenia, where both team up against us 💀
 
Can't wait for Blighted Tree Spirits and Blighted Avatars. And the dream sequence portion just having Godfrey-style Malenia apparitions everywhere.

This. This is the reason I hate the whole "Miquella is evil" theory. It's such a good story to have a genuinely good guy who was trying to do his best to save people and was basically the last hope for the world to get better, only for everything he did to be destroyed and wasted away. It's a beautiful tragedy that should stay that way and not turned into a "Lol jokes on you, he was actually Satan and everything that happened and all the suffering related to him was part of his evil master plan the whole time!". It's been done to death, is lame and would destroy a beautifully crafted tragedy.

Hey, maybe we'll have something like this. Maybe the DLC will give us an enraged and confused Miquella who will fuse with the tree or the tree will be "infected" and turned crazy and we'll have to destroy it to fully free Miquella
 
Focusing on the picture given, we see that the environment looks like the Altus Plateau, complete with its golden fields, yet there's no Leyndell to see (only seemingly extremely old arches) even though the capital is buildt around the Edtree in the game. We also see the sky is mostly dark but is seemingly starting to get golden and the tree itself is covered with dark bark yet is also kind of bleeding golden sap, almost as it was in the process of blooming.

This could indicate the DLC is set in the past, maybe in the time when the dragons were ruling the LB.

I mean, it was the same with DS1, just a little less complicated

How long is the main story

and how long would it take to 100% complete the game?

It varies massively depending on how much you explore.

My first run took me 120 hours and I more or less did everything. Plantinum'ing the game takes a couple of runs but your subsequent ones are shorter anyway.

But you can do it in much less time if you're good at the game.

If I did it in much less time there wouldn’t be any fun in it would there. The longer the more enjoyable it will be

DS1 required the Hydra and Golem, but the area itself you would typically have to stumble onto. Unlike with Miquella.
Click to expand...
I mean, wouldn't most people jjst be done with Darkroot Basin after beating the Hydra? The golem doesn't spawn right away, so thete there wouldn't be any incentive to explore the back of the basin. You also need to kill ANOTHER golem to get a pendant and then go back just to enter the DLC. Entering Mohg's area shouldn't be that hard if you're an avid pvp player. Though the consecrated snowfield does require exploring.
