Elden Ring Fans Think DLC Art Shows Two Trees, Not One

thegamer.com:

One Elden Ring fan has upped the brightness and tweaked the colours of the new DLC key art and found that it resembles two trees wrapped around each other—not the previously assumed singular Erdtree. This has blossomed into countless theories, with some believing it to be the Haligree suffocating the Erdtree, while others think it's a dream world.

One of the best theories comes from u/Sketch99 who commented on the post that they believe the art depicts The Land of the Dead. Their theory goes that Godfrey's corpse has not only infected The Lands Between, but the afterlife, and it'll be up to us to put him down once again—Miquella is here because of a prayer they made, possibly the one mentioned in the Golden Epitaph great sword, "O brother, lord brother, please die a true death."

This ties into the two trees because u/Sketch99 believes the one with golden sap dripping from it to be the Helphen, a Lampwood that guides the dead as mentioned in Helphen's Steeple Greatsword. As for the decaying, charred tree we see, that is possibly a result of Godwyn's death-blight corruption. Miquella is able to then traverse The Land of the Dead because he is in a corpse-like state in his cocoon.

This is, again, entirely speculative, and nothing has been confirmed as of writing. All we know is the name of the DLC, with the key art giving us our only look at it so far. But if we know anything about Elden Ring fans, they're an imaginative bunch of fantasy detectives who will scour item descriptions for scraps of information, and now they have the perfect opportunity to use it.

One theory posited by u/Popsicle_LordofDeath is based on Mohg, and Miquella's cocoon which we find after
