Dialogue Cut From Elden Ring DLC Proves Miquella’s Plan Was Flawed All Along

is one of the biggest expansions that have ever been made, eclipsing the size of some full RPGs. Although there are likely hundreds, if not thousands of pieces of dialogue added in the DLC, with something this size, some pieces are bound to be cut. Cut content often reveals more information than what is in the base game and could show what the developer was thinking as the game was in production. Sometimes, things get cut for being a little too overt at times.

[Warning: This article contains major spoilers for With following in the footsteps of many Soulsborne titles, the game avoids the use of overt storytelling, with almost everything from in-game lore dumps to characters explaining their motivations coming across as cryptic and mysterious. Souls fans are used to searching high and low for bits of lore to explain the god-killing events of these games, often searching in the code or taking a look at models in ways the games don't typically allow. This search has extended to a piece of cut dialogue from Starscourge Radahn in the latest DLC.

The Bandit class has access to some of the best versatile builds in Elden Ring thanks to its naturally high dexterity and arcane skills.

With Starscourge Radahn being reduced to a cannibalistic zombie by the time the Tarnished arrives in the Lands Between, many players have been asking for the opportunity to fight the Starscourge when he was at his peak. fulfills this wish by making a fit Radahn as the final boss. There is a caveat, however, as this is all part of Miquella's plan to make the general his consort as he ascends to godhood by putting Radahn's soul into Mohg's body, which is quite a dastardly plan for someone meant to be one of the good demi-gods.

Mohg kidnapping Miquella was all part of the Empyrean's plan, since his death and boss arena are what starts the DLC.

Other than this plan showing that Miquella might have been evil all along, it also hinges on Radahn being the perfect consort because of his kindness.
