What are the real motivations behind Miquella's actions in the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree? What lore reasons explain the storyline's events?
In this video, we use psychology to explore the hidden workings of Miquella's mind, from his unconscious desires to his views on the world.
Thank you to all the commenters who posted about the Bonny Village / Shaman Village mixup. This was a factual oversight on my part, and Shaman Village, a location close to Bonny Village, is in fact Marika's hometown!
