Hidetaka Miyazaki Didn’t Miss During Elden Ring as Fans Uncover Malenia Lore That Was Right in Front of Us All Along

Elden Ring, like all other FromSoftware titles, doesn’t handhold the player through the experience or even the story. It’s by exploring the world, speaking to NPCs, and reading item descriptions that the player can understand more about the adventure they are on.

Hidetaka Miyazaki’s games show the team prefers environmental organic storytelling instead of simple exposition, even for major characters such as Radahn, Miquella, and Malenia. One X user has stumbled upon an interesting revelation for the last name on that list, but the lore implication might go even deeper.

The Toughest Boss in Elden Ring Might Use Sound to Hunt You Down

FromSoftware games have no shortage of difficult bosses. The studio has made a name for itself by creating some of the most challenging and rewarding gaming experiences across several console generations. Elden Ring is no exception, as the Lands Between have several threats for the Tarnished to encounter. However, few are as deadly and frustrating as Malenia.

Daughter to Radagon and Marika and sister to Miquella, Malenia is a formidable swordstress who challenges even veteran FromSoftware fans. Her aggressiveness and speed, paired with the ability to regain health with every hit, have earned her the title of one of the most difficult bosses in the entire game, including the DLC.

One X user has pointed out that we ****** Malenia in the presence of water. According to them, as Malenia is ******, she uses the sounds of the splashes when we move to judge our direction and distance and align her attacks.

I feel so ***** but it’s blowing my mind that i just found out that the reason Malenia fights in an arena surrounded by water is because she’s ****** and is using that to know where you are at every step

This is an interesting theory, especially since it lines up with how many visually impaired people use sound to navigate their world better. But it also goes a bit deeper than just a combat tactic.

Malenia is a vessel for the Outer **** associated with the Scarlet Rot, a blight that she uses as a ******* if required. However, she also tries to ****** against its effects. When training with the ****** Swordsman, it was found that flowing water can help keep away the rot. So, the presence of water may be her way of stilling the spread of Rot throughout her body as well as a combat tactic.

Elden Ring’s DLC Adds New Lore Revelations for the World

A lot of the game’s lore is pieced together by going through the world, so there aren’t any 100% confirmed theories. One revelation comes from the word of Count Ymir once you progress his questline. According to him, the entire reason we have a DLC is due to the absence of the Greater Will, leading Marika and Metyr to shape the world according to their understanding and perspective.

The Greater Will is the catalyst for almost every event we see in the game, but that Will is not always present or active. In its absence, the Two Fingers and other forces enact decisions based on what they believe would align with the ultimate plan of the Greater Will.

The kicker is that no one knows what this Will wants. There are different interpretations of its vision, with one being as true as the other. It’s a quintessential FromSoftware entity that has some guidelines but whose motives and objectives are far too grand for any mortal or even **** to comprehend.
