Mohg, as someone obsessed with Miquella, cuts him out of the Haligtree and takes him away, and due to this, both the Haligtree and Miquella suffer, displaying their symbiotic relationship. The Haligtree is not a parasite, and it&#039;s unfortunate that its potential is never realized due to Mohg&#039;s actions. Since Miquella&#039;s status is unknown, if he&#039;s alive, it&#039;s possible that he might try to salvage the Haligtree, or he might start over if it can&#039;t be sa&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;**Elden Ring ** ’s Putrid Crytalian Trio within Sellia Hideaway is another annoying boss encounter&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Crystalians &lt;/del&gt;are &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;common enemies and bosses in &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game, and &lt;/del&gt;they &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;can be especially problematic for players without weapons &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;deal blunt damage&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;However, &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Putrid Crystalian Trio are &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;most annoying Crystalians in &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game.

Yet only one of them is &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;true parasite upon further investigat&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;While it might seem to be parasitic, the relationship between Miquella and his Haligtree is actually more symbiotic. In Elden Ring , Miquella&#039;s cocoon is the only form in which he&#039;s seen. Mohg, as someone obsessed with Miquella, cuts him out of the Haligtree and takes him away, and due to this, both the Haligtree and Miquella suffer, displaying their symbiotic relationship. The Haligtree is not a parasite, and it&#039;s unfortunate that its potential is never realized due to Mohg&#039;s actions. Since Miquella&#039;s status is unknown, if he&#039;s alive, it&#039;s possible that he might try to salvage the Haligtree, or he might start over if it can&#039;t be sa&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Understanding the Erdtree requires knowledge of the Lands Between before the Outer Gods, particularly the Greater Will, take an interest in it&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Outer Gods that &lt;/ins&gt;are &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;seeking power would need to have a reason to choose the Lands Between as &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;place &lt;/ins&gt;they &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;seek &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;spread their influence&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The Greater Will wouldn&#039;t put in &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;effort and send &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Elden Ring to a land if it doesn&#039;t gain anything from controlling that land.

Of course, calling it a &quot;character&quot; is a bit of a stretch, as The Greater Will is &lt;/del&gt;more &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;accurately described as a force of nature. An outer god at the center of all of the game&lt;/del&gt;&#039;s &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;events&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;it&#039;s hard to tell what The Greater Will&#039;s goals &lt;/del&gt;may &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;be, and it&#039;s hinted several times throughout Elden Ring that it may not be as benevolent as it seems. From Software are known for including Lovecraftian concepts in their games, and The Greater Will is a perfect example of cosmicism adding &lt;/del&gt;an &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;incredible amount of depth to a game&lt;/del&gt;&#039;s &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;l&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;While one would hope that these players still fulfilled their daily tasks &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;jobs on time&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;it&#039;s very likely that Elden Ring took &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;priority for some, depicted comedically in &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;meme&lt;/del&gt;.

Her actions loom large over the Lands Between&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;yet the player never gets a chance to interact with her like with other characters. So it’s possible a DLC could add interaction &lt;/del&gt;with &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;As with any internet community&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;there are trolls&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and Elden Ring players quickly realized they could block players from certain aspects &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;the game by leaving messages &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;prevent clicking on them.

The amount &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;time players spent on Elden Ring likely led to players &lt;/ins&gt;finding the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;multitude of hidden details &lt;/ins&gt;that the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game has to &lt;/ins&gt;of&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Melina &lt;/ins&gt;is &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;one &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Elden Ring ’s most complex characters&lt;/ins&gt;, and the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;game offers hardly any elaboration &lt;/ins&gt;of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;her backstory&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;She has two different fates depending on which ending and path &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;player chooses&lt;/ins&gt;, one of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;which teases her return.
