Miquella | Elden Ring Wiki

CHOWDAH! THAT EMPYREAN BOY PUSSY IS MAKING ME QUESTION MY LOYALTY TO THE GOLDEN ORDER!

Submit

i think miquella is the final boss of the dlc.. he started it all.
hes the one thats prolly riding the horse in the poster.
it would only be natural for it to all end after killing miquella.

Submit

i will make his bussy Bleed! (elden ring hemorrhage reference)

Submit

He looks like an omen in the shell

Submit

SoE is gonna be us entering Miquella’s dream, help him out. Then we fight the misshapen body in Mogh’s palace as final boss.

Submit

Brace yourselves. It's coming. He was already barefoot in the promotional image, so you know it's gonna be good. It's the Lothric to surpass all Gwyndolins. The mother of all Berserk recerences. An expansion set in a dreamlike landscape. The ultimate Michael Zaki experience. If someone asked me to come up with something more typical, more pure, I couldn't have. It's the essence of FromSoftware. And you just know there'll be a catacomb with a Revenant trio fight (can't damage with Heal). And that will be the high point of Miyazaki's career as a games director.

Submit

pretty sure you will enter the DLC after killing Mohg and touching Miquella's hand here

Submit

I hope in the DLC we get to see their shadow-bound beast(s) as well. I would love it if, because they are twins and the strange circumstance of their birth, they got one shadow beast for the both of them and it inflicted rot and sleep. That would be deadly.

Miquella DLC LETSSS GOOOOO!

Submit

If Malenia is the "hand of Miquella", why'd she let Mohg steal him? Was she busy landscaping Caelid at the time?

Submit

So this guy is powerful enough to get rid of the frenzied flame and the scarlet rot?

Submit

I believe that there is a correlation between the Bewitching Branch and Sword of St. Trina, which further explains the possible link between Miquella and our beloved Saint. The AoW on the sword is a mist with petals activating the sleeping effect, while the branch launches a similar mist with a different color that also activates a spell, deaggroing and temporarily befriending the enemy you use it on. In other words, “A COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!”

Submit

When did Gideon make that slumber comment? i couldn't find any video nor did I heard that in the game

Submit

Assuming the cut content still holds, and the state of Miquella's body implies his physical body is dead, then he's probably something like Ranni, in the sense that his spirit probably lies elsewhere. The Consecrated Snowfield NPC implies that his soul and body are separate too. It's possible that Miquella's soul remains in the Haligtree itself. One can see the outline of large long-haired individual in the roots in Malenia's boss arena. It would give an alternate explanation why he's completely unresponsive to Mohg -- Mohg is giving offerings to a soulless corpse. Which would be in character, as the game itself tells you the Lord of Blood isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. It would also explain why Malenia doesn't acknowledge the missing cocoon -- her brother is still there with her, even if his body isn't.

Now if the cut content was the result of a last-minute change in lore, and he's slumbering in the cocoon like Gideon said, then he's in for a rude awakening when he wakes up as a desiccated cadaver. Either way, a major DLC bait.

Submit

wait Miquella is a He? I thouth it was a she...

Submit

Whelp, if there is one think we’ve learned here today, it’s that ol’ Mohg is a real scuzz bag.

Submit

I'm also with the group that wants to believe Miquella is St. Trina simply because a weapon description states that St. Trina appeared as that of either a young girl, while some say he was a boy. The torch of St. Trina has a visage with a single eye. Gloam means "Twilight". Twilight is a combination of two opposites (day and night), while Castle Sol has sigils of the Eclipse everywhere, also a combination of opposites (sun and moon). I feel like there's enough bread crumbs to assume that somehow these figures are related.

The only truly 'weird' part is where they describe the Gloam-Eyed Queen as having lost to Maliketh as well as the motivation for why Miquella would want to kill their mother and father. I'm under the impression that Miquella may have not been the most loved or the most kind, but found out how to make people love him (bewitching branch). I also believe he created the first albinaurics. To me, Miquella's Needle having the Caduceus shape basically explains his experimental MO the most: he enjoys the combination of opposites to obtain a unique end-product. This is how he created the albinaurics by combining the soul (gold) with that of silver tears (of the moon-worshipping Nokstella).

There's also a weird timeline issue that we don't know when the Gloam-Eyed Queen and Maliketh fought, but it would have had to have been after Radagon left Rennala, as that was when Radagon became the second Queen Consort and helped make Miquella and Melania. That seems to be the only real hole in the association, understanding just how much time has passed since Radagon and Marika created their Empyrean children would probably help shed some light on this but until then I await with baited breath.

Submit

I personally felt like the reason Malenia started her crusade is to get Miquella back, if you notice, the location of Mohg's dynasty, is right below where Malenia and Radhan fought, and in the end she failed to finish her quest in the very last step as her current state cant allow her to continue fighting Radhan (If her flower blossom one more time, she would became the God of Rot, which is something she and Miquella tried to stop)

Submit

What if Miquella is St. Trina in the same way Marika is Radagon? More often than not Miquella is regarded as being a man. However, according to Fevor's cookbooks, St. Trina is clearly a woman. Seeing how Marika transforms into Radagon right before his fight makes me believe that my theory isn't that big of a stretch.

Submit

Holy holy grail

Submit

Can't wait to fight him in the DLC.

Submit

Miquella being the Gloam Eyed Queen is an awesome concept, and now that I think about it, fits way better than it being Melina. Miquella, spiteful that the Golden Order could do nothing to help Malenia's rot, turned against them, forming the godskin apostles in an attempt to overthrow the Order, and save his sister. I really hope DLC elaborates on Miquella, because he's such a cool enigmatic character.

Submit

Wonder what’s goin on with his goofy wings he’s clearly growing in the intro cutscene

Submit

While shaky, if the updated translation of the Godskin's theme is correct, then Miquella is very explicitly Saint Trina and the Gloam-eyed Queen.

Submit

Mysterious how Miquella is the only mentioned shardbearer who still has his Great Rune by the end of the game (that we know nothing about) as well as him having no associated Divine Tower... unless the Haligtree is his tower though that would be weirder still since it isn't near the Erdtree like the others. Hopefully DLC will answer these questions.

Submit

I'm pretty sure Miquella is actually the Gloam-Eyed Queen. The Godskins are weak to sleep, and even though the lyrics of thier boss music is not officially Latin, there have been rough translations done that suggest Miquella is actually an incarnation of the Gloam-Eyed Queen.

If you look at St. Trina's torch, there is a single eye near the forehead of Miquella, and the purple hue given off by the torch and the sword is of a similar color to the jewels worn by the Godskins. We know that the Queen was defeated by Maliketh, but I don't think we know if that was before Miquella was born, or after. Not to mention, Miquella was an empyrean, but we never hear about his shadow, or Malenia's for that matter, but Vargram the Raging Wolf, one who aspired to be a shadow, is seen wielding a Godslayer's Greatsword (indicating the one in the tower is not the only one I suppsose?).

Submit

'Miquella's true ability' reads the last line in regards to an items description. I find that funny after stating "..he created the Haligtree.." in one of the very first lines. I think it's just another ability, if not personality trait, from being a god?

Submit

I would have expected more lore about this whole genderchanging (Dynasty with Mohg...you know) and parthenogenesis (Whos your daddy...Miquella) things so they look like a gimmick.

Submit

Miquella be like, “I sleep.”

It seems he will be a DLC boss but he seems to be trying to do a good thing? So i see no sense in fighting him

Submit

Maybe Miquella ignored Mohg because he is a straight guy.

Submit

Ah, dear little Miquella. Where have you gone? are you hiding from me? Come out, come out, don't be afraid!

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! MMMIIIIQQQQQUUUUUUEEEEEELLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Mohg, the Consumed King of Blood

Submit

Inb4 he turns out to be a dlc boss, and he emerges from his cocoon likely not in the best mood, before absolutely ruining your ass, while making the Orphan Of Kos seem like a joke.

Submit

Ok, if Malenia is saying that this dude is the "fiercest empyrean of all" that's really freaking scary. I imagine his intelligence and faith surpass all of those in the lands between.

Just like a lot of characters in the lore have 2 identities. I think we can expect to see 2 identities with him as well.

I imagine phase 1 of his boss fight ( that's if we do fight him) being st. Trina. Then when phase 2 starts he reverts back to his true self. Miquella, the only off spring of Marika to recieve her luscious golden locks.

Submit

Need fromsoftware to make miquella dlc

Submit

What if Ranni is miquellas spirit.
Since his spirit is missing.

Submit

Watch as the devs drop us a DLC about the God the ancient dragons worshipped and another about Grace itself and that's it, that's the whole game lol
Just as we expected a DLC about the Deep and the Sable Church of Londor in DSIII and what we got was "REMEMBER THE PIGMY?" and "Simp Simulator: Ariandel edition"?
I would love to pay for a Miquella DLC, I'm clearly on board for that, but you know.

Submit

I know the two fingers told me to kill all the demigods but this guy is too awesome to kill.

Submit

It's complete speculation, but I suspect Miquella and Malenia are the same person like Marika and Radagon. Biggest clue I can find is the hair color. Malenia has red hair like Radagon and Miqeulla from what can be seen in opening, is blonde like Marika. I don't have many evidence to support this, but it's a cool theory if you think about it.

Submit

The question is, who’s the companion of his and her sister, as all empyreans have companions, also, why Malenia is her second phase is as if she wants to prevent you from getting closer to the big human like body in the tree which have a big hole that almost fit the cocon in mohg’s palace

Submit

Mohg kinda pedo for taking a child's body.

Submit

This is what it looks like when someone falls victim to Mohgin' time. As we can see, Miquella is locked in a cocoon, and will remain that way for Mohgillion years

Submit

He would be a great DLC boss and content especially since there is cut content about him.

Submit

Dont worry guys, miquella is actually 3000 years old.

Submit

Miquella is the Egg-man and Mohg... the Whalrus? possible Beatles reference :)

Mohg's a yandere for this man. sorry to sick this concept upon you.

I am once again entering this comment section to remind Miquella fans that his soldiers are literal suicide bombers.

I do love how in the one paragraph yall write that Mohg is trying to “share his blood” but in the rememberance is says he is trying to share his bloody bedchamber. Yall make it sound like Mohg is trying to do a blood transplant, when really he is just r*ping Miquella

Submit

Oh dear, another dogged contender…

Submit

truly the most based demigod

Submit

There are a couple of hints in the game that Miquella won't accept Albinaurics, perhaps because they're artifical beings and thus foreign to the Lands Between. Take the Ivory Sickle description: "Sickle fashioned form ivory. Weapon carried by aged Albunaurics. These weapons are evidence of their dedication to the Haligtree, despite never having entered its presence." You also only see Albinaurics in the Consecrated Snowfield, not in the Haligtree itself (besides maybe Loretta, but it's debatable if she is one).

miquella best boy

Submit

Going along with some of the overarching themes seen in game, I've come to think that malania and miquella are the siblings of Melina. Without getting too spoiler heavy, Marika had three sets of kids at different times, and malania / miquella are missing part of their triad. rykard and radahn play second fiddle to the chosen ranni... Godwin reads to me like baldur the beautiful from Norse mythology, and his brothers were both born omen... Miquella and malania are both cursed, so it would make sense that Melina was the chosen of her triad, and wanted out just as much as Marika or ranni. I have some more in mind with this theory, but it has less to do with miquella directly, so I'll save that for now.

Submit

GRIFFITHHH!!!!!!

I wonder if Miquella actually ends up with traits of an omen considering Mohg was giving him blood. The fact his body appears to have grown from what we see in the cocoon means Mohg may have succeeded, but at what cost?

Submit

Okay, I did some more thinking on the narrative of the game and at this point I'm 100% sure that if there's a DLC, it'll be about Miquella, Godwyn and Marika's relationship with the two. Because currently the game's plot is a total mess. No one has even come close to figuring out Marika's intentions when shattering the Elden Ring and I feel that's because the writers didn't either. Which is odd considering that finding the answer to this question was the main premise of the story trailer. I just hope they can somehow salvage the main game's story because it just does't make a lot of sense and is pretty unsatisfying right now.

Submit

Miquella's "affection" ability makes me wonder whether he is truly a pure-hearted adorable little boy or a deceptive omnipotent schemer.

Submit

People talking like he's gonna be the final boss of the expansion when it's actually going to be a past/dream version of Godwyn.

Submit

If I had to take a guess, I'd say Miquella's/St. Trina's "appearance was as sudden as their disappearance" (Sword of St. Trina) because the royal family realized he, too, was cursed like Malenia. While Malenia's curse, her affliction with Scarlet Rot, would be apparent from birth, Miquella's agelessness would only show after some time had passed. I also get the impression that, of the two, Miquella was loved more by his parents, Radagon in particular. Radagon's Rings of Light were gifted to him by his father, and later Miquella returned the favor with the Triple Rings of Light incantation. There's no mention of any such instances with Malenia. On the contrary, she inherited Radagon's red hair, and as the description of the Giant's Red Braid tells us: "Every giant is red of hair, and Radagon was said to have despised his own red locks." This, combined with the fact that Marika refers to him as "leal hound of the Golden Order" (Melina dialogue) leads me to believe that he probably didn't like his cursed, red-haired daughter very much. Perhaps that's why she went out in search of a mentor (Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom) - to replace her father figure.

There's so much tragedy hidden here. Of a father who despised his daughter due to the way she was born, of a golden boy who turned out to be just as impure as the black sheep of the family, and of two siblings who, in spite of society's and their family's perception, loved each other and sought to create a refuge for others who had been mistreated by the Golden Order. It explains why Miquella's and Malenia's statues in the Haligtree don't depict them in a triumphant pose. Instead, Malenia is holding Miquella, because they only ever had each other, and because it represents the solace they want to extend to all other "cursed" creatures.

If there's an expansion it should, well, expand on this story.

It seems the demi-gods are based on pagan deities. Perverted degenerates who inbreed(Greek gods are what im familiar with) so it makes sens Mohg was trying to "romance" his sibling.

It's kind of cool how Malenia inherits features of Radagon, and Miquella of Marika. It's a reversal of the roles.

Wait, if the tarnished kills malenia, then even if miquella succeeds in growing up he wont be able to meet malenia anyways..

I'm guessing he looks about 10 - 13? Because aint no way he was lugging golden epitaph around if he was any younger.

Submit

Too bad about his cut ending. It would've been the best one.

Submit

Miquella's dream is just bloodborne

Submit

So, I had a bit of a brainwave while discussing potential DLC. I would not be surprised if the Cocoon of the Empyrean becomes the portal into a DLC area. As this page discusses, cut content suggests that Miquella is in the world of his dream, and Gideon appears to confirm that he's not dead but slumbering. So yeah, maybe we're gonna get to explore Miquella's Dream.

There should be an age of abundance / purity with Miquella.

Submit

I can see Miquella being a grafted spider-like monstrosity with different body parts from the other Demi-Gods (I.e. Malenia’s arm). Mohg was artificially “growing” him by adding different body parts onto him. The cocoon definitely has a spider vibe to it.

Submit

Also apparently behind Godwyn's attempted resurrection/true death

Submit

Mohg is actually *** (lore accurate)

Submit

I don't know why a tarnished involved in all this... it is definitely just a family having issues and not getting along. I would blame the father and the mother for having so many kids and raising them properly.

Submit

For those who think there may be some nefarious stuff going on in regards to his ability to charm and "compel" people, while that may very well be true, I don't think Miquella is malicious or manipulative. Charming the people around you to like you is a pretty good self-preservation method when you're trapped in the body of a child, surrounded by powerful building-sized siblings, and in a world where even the plants are deadly. Heck a lot of people seemed to like him just based on the stuff he did and not necessarily him using mind powers.

Submit

I hope we get a DLC that introduces Miquella as an active character and maybe even gives us an alternative ending, call it the "Age of Abundance" or "Age of Dreams". I feel like an ending involving Miquella would be similar to Ranni's; they both turned against the Golden Order and seek to keep the influence of the Outer Gods away, and Miquella actually achieved the ability to with his needles. Imagine a fully ascended Miquella and a possibly restored Haligtree! From what we know he seems like a chill guy so I doubt an ending with him would be as bad or full of destruction.
TDLR: I think he's neat and want him to have his own ending.

Submit

Where in the game is Miquella stated to be forever young? I don't remember seeing it.

--------------

Miquella is actually trying to undo much of what the Golden Order has done. Based on what we know about primordial gold (Crucible Knight gear lays most of this out), it preceded the gold of the Golden Order, and is heavily associated with the Crucible, which is also explicitly called the primordial form of the erdtree.

Primordial gold has a copper hue (the Crucible Knight gear is made out of it), compared to the Golden Order’s yellowish gold (this is actually very important for what I talk about later). We don’t know much about the specifics of the Crucible, but it is referred to in a few places as the source of all life, or where all life began, mixed together within the Crucible. This tells us that both it and its primordial gold preceded the Erdtree and the Golden Order, indicating that the Golden Order’s yellowish gold is actually an altered version (or perhaps “alloyed” version) of primordial gold. The Golden Order didn’t create gold; they just altered or tainted it in some way. So Miquella’s unalloyed gold is most likely a recreation of something that preceded the Golden Order entirely, meaning he’s trying to purify gold itself and by extension life and the order of the world itself, rather than purifying the Golden Order.

Miquella is recreating the pre-erdtree world (by removinf the Golden Order’s taint), rather than improving the new world the erdtree and Golden Order has created.

There are quite a few very compelling pieces of evidence backing this theory, and I’ll try to list the most important ones for anyone who reads this to look into in more detail.

1. The repaired unalloyed gold needle has almost the exact some copper hue as primordial gold (compare to Crucible Knight armor). Interestingly, the broken one is closer to yellowish gold, and fixing it makes it oranger (it only looks like Golden Order gold when it lacks its real power).

2. Look at the progressive color change of the consumable runes you find. The weaker runes are yellowish, and progressively get oranger/more copper colored as you get to the Numen and Lord Runes. Side note, when you give Gowry the broken needle, he comments that it is “the work of a meticulous bold craftsman who grasps the essence of life,” which I think further implies a connection between runes (the source of our character’s power and of the Elden ring), primordial gold, and the underlying life force of the inhabitants of the Lands Between.

3. There are a number of scattered references to the “Great Tree” as something distinct from the erdtree; a possible predecessor that the erdtree drew power from and eventually supplanted. This provides a potential alternative to the erdtree as a model for Miquella’s Haligtree. It wouldn’t make sense for him to simply be growing another erdtree if he already decided the erdtree doesn’t have the answers to his problems.

4. Ordovis’s Greatsword (the crucible knight sword) is “imbued with an ancient holy essence,” which almost certainly refers to its primordial gold material. As you point out in your video, “halig” means holy, providing a potential reason for his decision to name his tree—the icon of his unalloyed gold order—the haligtree.

There are plenty of other connections that I’ll try to add in an edit as I recall them, but for now I’ll try to wrap things up with my own speculation about the implications this theory has for our understanding of not only Miquella, but also the Golden Order and the Greater Will. We know that unalloyed gold wards off the influence of outer gods. If primordial gold is the same material, then it too should have the same power. Since it existed before the Elden Beast crashed into the Lands Between, it likely served as a defense against Outer God meddling back then. The Golden Order’s gold seems to be a corrupted version of this primordial gold, and also seemingly lacks this ability to ward off the influence of Outer Gods. This would provide an incredibly satisfying explanation for the motivations and behavior of the Greater Will and its various representatives, and the Golden Order’s obsession with their yellowish gold.

The Greater Will, being an outer god, was prevented from directly influencing the lands between due to the existence of primordial gold. By sending indirect forms of influence (the fingers, the Elden Beast, the erdtree) that eventually spread its influence further via Marika and Radagon, it was able to begin corrupting primordial gold (speculating side note, this may be the real function of the erdtree. If runes represent life force, and are the real essence of “gold,” then erdtree burials make a lot more sense since the erdtree can filter primordial gold out this way). As primordial gold was gradually supplanted with this new form of gold, the Greater Will could exert its influence more directly. However, this had an important side effect: all Outer Gods could exert their influence on the Lands Between now. This could explain why Malenia is born with the Scarlet Rot at the apparent height of the Golden Order’s power, for example, and why the erdtree and Golden Order can’t provide a solution to it. In reality, the Golden Order actually indirectly caused her affliction by opening the world to the unchecked influence of the Outer Gods.
