@@mollymillions6586 its really just exaggerated for the final effect which happens with a lot of art. if you actually trace along the anatomy of lots of paintings and drawings with many effects or tricky perspective you'll often notice that some of the anatomy makes no sense. thats because skilled illustrators know how to make it look right without being 'correct'. Mohg is a pretty good example because the actual model underneath the robe looks pretty goofy, but you never see it so it doesn't matter that the proportions are stretched or too long or too short in places. What matters is the final effect of the character silhouette once the robe is on.
Neat that Miquella maintained that intricate braid along his back in both his younger and ascendant forms, even with the drastically-different hair lengths
Ascended Miquella might be a better title, since he walks out of the Divine Gates shining with light, and the Remembrance name implies he has properly ascended now. The hair looks like a bitch to maintain, but when he's hanging off of radahn it makes it look like the Red Lion has the white mane that Godfrey/Serosh once had, helping his consort ape the man he looked up to so much. But from behind it could alo refer to the primordial form of the Elden Ring we see at Faram Azula, with manh, many rings to it. Also it looks like only one of his arms is actual flesh and blood, and the others are ghostly because he cast off the others on his way here (sinistral, dextral and St. Trina).
He did use to share that body with his female half. I guess we know why St Trina is just a torso attached to a plant, Miquella made sure to keep everything from the waist down for himself.
2:32 I have Miquella's ring in real life! Wayyy before the DLC was even announced, I noticed the ring on the withered arm, and asked my (modder) friend if he could extract the model, bake the textures into the geometry, and send it over. Then I 3D printed it. I plan on casting it in silver eventually, it's a really nice ring.

Everything about Miquella seems like a child’s interpretation of the world. He seems like one of those kids you meet who are highly intelligent, but then they say something that reminds you they are a kid. Even his desire for Radahn as consort seems like a childhood promise, like saying you’re gonna marry your mom/dad. My big brother is so cool and strong, I’m gonna become God and make him my Lord! Even worse it seems to me like the Haligtree is only failing now cuz Miquella got “bored” with it. Everything seems to have functioned well, but without Miquella there to balance out Malenia the Rot is just taking over. Had he stayed, I think the Haligtree would have succeeded in at least being a safe haven for those trying to escape the Shattering. He's cursed with eternal nascency
That's only if you believe he choose to be taken away. I personally argue that Mohg kidnapped him of his own volition to make him his Empyrean and the conduit of the Formless Mother, and Miquella bewitched him when being his prisoner.
" My big brother is so cool and strong, I’m gonna become God and make him my Lord!" I actually kind of groaned when I figured that bit out. its cool and works but guess I've read too many romcom manga/manhwa... I've seen the trope too much. "let's get married, main character!" "oh kid, you're so cute, haha okay." *X amount of time later* "I'm back and sexy now." "Wuh-wuh-what we're still getting married?!? >///
The fact that Melania made clear she was sent there to kill Radahn and send him to the shadow realm indicates that this was always his plan, he wasn't just giving up the Haligtree cuz he got bored.
@@guypowerstrength5837 Hey, he is a kidnapper by trade, just ask the war surgeons. Or rather Varre since he is the only survivor amon them. But just like with the surgeons, he kidnapped Miquella for purely practical purposes.
Right?! Though I still don’t get what happened with his body since it was used for the haligtree and then in Mohg’s palace and THEN spread out all over the shadow realm???
Oh just realized his hair and crown are a reference to the icon in Farum Azula with the expanded Elden ring. The circlet at the top, the braid representing the center column, the outer braids representing the rings, and the remaining strands of unbraided hair going outwards representing what we thought were roots.
People keep saying femboy, but bishonen suits Miquella more. He's like a pretty boy from a classic shoujo manga. Bjorn Andresen levels of pretty. Also it felt illegal to see his bare calves...
This, bishonen seems to be an outdated term these days, but it fits better to this version of Miquella. Poor Björn Andresen tho, he did not deserve t suffer like that 😢
For me its the wonderful incandescent power shown when an empyrean is born from a new age forging its order upon the world which has forsaken its true gods.
That seems like a huge stretch. What about the hair makes it look "faulty" specifically? It's long, which means it's strong to be able to hold such a length, and clearly there's no traces of greying or mold or rot in there. It grows wildly, but that could just as easily be a symbol of strength or vitality (like a classic barbarian archetype). If the artists were trying to make it look "faulty," it feels like they should've done a lot more. It's not like they're incapable of making bad hair (Morgott).
Bro...Excuse me...WHAT..."One of the good ones" What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean morally? If so I indulge you read his lore to show the absolute atrocities he's caused in his manipulative wake.
I don't think I'll ever not feel robbed by the fact that we only get to interact with Miquella as a boss-no, an accessory to a boss. After all the build-up, and centering much of the DLC around him, it's intensely disappointing. I still really like him, but the potential has been wasted.
Even his ring is gone. He truly abandoned everything to achieve his dream (and failed). It honestly makes me think about the fact that marika probably did the same and also gave up everything. This has crazy implications
@@rafsandomierz5313 i think the paths to godhood all involve sacrifice in someway, and given miquella’s entire ideology it makes sense he would sacrifice himself to “help” everybody else. Also i just remembered the story trailer where marika grabs runes/hair from a body and seems to ascend to godhood. In that scene the gate of divinity looks a lot more bloody and fresh, whereas when we see it it’s gray, almost mummified. I wonder if marika had to sacrifice all those people to ascend? It would definitely fit with marika’s character, she always seems to prioritize her ideals over people (think of poor godfrey)
Godfrey was conspiring with Mariska to get rid of the greater will. Her “banishing” Godfrey and his men to the badlands was all part of their masterplan to crease a band of warriors (tarnished) that would move in once she shatters the ring and destabilise the greater wills remaining control in the lands between. The “grace” guiding tarnished is literally marina guiding us to kill everything that would oppose her.
Trust me, having achieved this look with extensions, I can honestly tell you that the weight is so heavy you'd end up having a headache from how hard it's pulling on your scalp. 😂 Took them off the following day.
@@dormammu629 no joke, obviously only a little shorter would be plausible, but I’d love to have hair like him! Even if that meant spending an hour everyday trying to maintain them😂
Spent countless years enacting a plan to shed his curse and become a god only to step out of the gate and get killed by some dude wearing a jar on his head and constantly rolls around like a crazy person
Watching this video literally makes me put my hands in my hair because of how great an opportunity they had to make the best dlc in the series and they cataclismically fucked up with this final boss. It was literally the greatest opportunity in the history of gaming.
Would it be possible for you to create a family video? Where all the god in the Raddgon/Marika Radagon/Rennala or Marika/Godf family stand together, showing which members belong to which family tree, and show them side by side to see the model. That would be cool
Radahn & Miquella's combat song is so epic no matter how many times I listen to it. My favorite Elden Ring OST, and for me, so far one of the best video game music in 2020s. Not just the music, but moveset, difficulty, cinematic events when using summons... In every way, they were truly the most badass DLC boss in FromSoftware games!
One of the few things I like about Radahn and Miquella is the returning motif of Godfrey with Serosh on his back. Why they chose to use this motif again, I don't know, but it shows what Miquella looks to emulate with his ascension.
Oh dear. Another dogged contender

That's only if you believe he choose to be taken away. I personally argue that Mohg kidnapped him of his own volition to make him his Empyrean and the conduit of the Formless Mother, and Miquella bewitched him when being his prisoner.
@@gabrieldoyen692 nah bro mohg didn't do nuffin, free my man
" My big brother is so cool and strong, I’m gonna become God and make him my Lord!" I actually kind of groaned when I figured that bit out. its cool and works but guess I've read too many romcom manga/manhwa... I've seen the trope too much.
"let's get married, main character!"
"oh kid, you're so cute, haha okay."
*X amount of time later*
"I'm back and sexy now."
"Wuh-wuh-what we're still getting married?!? >///
The fact that Melania made clear she was sent there to kill Radahn and send him to the shadow realm indicates that this was always his plan, he wasn't just giving up the Haligtree cuz he got bored.
@@guypowerstrength5837 Hey, he is a kidnapper by trade, just ask the war surgeons. Or rather Varre since he is the only survivor amon them. But just like with the surgeons, he kidnapped Miquella for purely practical purposes.
Still bummed we never got a mothy miquella form
imagine if the fight had a phase 3 after you killed radhan and miquella grew wings like the nascent butterfly, that’d be insane
@@vongolamistowl please, hes already as shiny as Radiance, we dont need to fight her lmao
Right?! Though I still don’t get what happened with his body since it was used for the haligtree and then in Mohg’s palace and THEN spread out all over the shadow realm???
I know right I saw the forearms and expected some butterfly wings
@@orionofvolgaI too have been wondering about this
Now i can see why mohg was so obsessed with him.
Oh just realized his hair and crown are a reference to the icon in Farum Azula with the expanded Elden ring.
The circlet at the top, the braid representing the center column, the outer braids representing the rings, and the remaining strands of unbraided hair going outwards representing what we thought were roots.
People keep saying femboy, but bishonen suits Miquella more. He's like a pretty boy from a classic shoujo manga. Bjorn Andresen levels of pretty.
Also it felt illegal to see his bare calves...
Someone who knows who Björn Andresen is? Film lover or Thomas Mann fan?
This, bishonen seems to be an outdated term these days, but it fits better to this version of Miquella.
Poor Björn Andresen tho, he did not deserve t suffer like that 😢
I would agree if it wasn't for those hips obviously designed to create a new line of Demigod children.
i see a man of culture
Every time Japan pulls a femboy on us I'm reminded of the existence of wakashu
Lord forgive me for what I'm about to do
well there's no laws about demigods
How the hell is he so gorgeous? Probably as beautiful as marika
Well, he's supposed to be the new Marika
"Oh no! He's hooooot!"
Smash next question
0:19 ayo chill, we just met!!
immediately pausing on the feet, I see you Bonfire
Of course he's barefoot... OH miyazaki
But he wouldn't grant us the gloam-eyed Melina barefoot.
@@cyrusol 😭😭😭
The hair seems emblematic of the faulty roots of a new order.
I think the hair is more like a symbol of the exuberance and vitality of the new born god, but you made an interesting connection.
For me its the wonderful incandescent power shown when an empyrean is born from a new age forging its order upon the world which has forsaken its true gods.
@@alfredoca687 i think it could be seen as both. A rise and fall.
That seems like a huge stretch. What about the hair makes it look "faulty" specifically? It's long, which means it's strong to be able to hold such a length, and clearly there's no traces of greying or mold or rot in there. It grows wildly, but that could just as easily be a symbol of strength or vitality (like a classic barbarian archetype).
If the artists were trying to make it look "faulty," it feels like they should've done a lot more. It's not like they're incapable of making bad hair (Morgott).
Or maybe it’s just because Miyazaki thought it looked cool
I saw someone say Rahdan equipped Miquela as a Back Bling, and i can't unsee it now 😂🤣
this was my instant initial thought after I died to the second phase the first time.
r34 artists bout to make up 40% of the views on this
Miquella's theme is probably my favourite ost from the souls series. Such an incredible piece
Miquella's hair reminds me if the symbol of the original golden order we see in malekiths boss room
Yea a lot of ppl saw that comparison video
@@ericwalker6477 what video?
Still heartbroken we couldn't have saved him from becoming a caged divinity. Homie was one of the good ones.
Same
Bro...Excuse me...WHAT..."One of the good ones"
What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean morally? If so I indulge you read his lore to show the absolute atrocities he's caused in his manipulative wake.
@@Jmcelwain17 I have read the lore and followed the story, unlike the many who just squeal "Mind controller, Miquella was evil!!!!!"
Young Miquella: ilegal ❌
Adult Miquella: weird ❌
Potato miquella: perfect ✅
footless and fryable.
Super Saiyan femboy 😭
That confirms the withered arm is really his
And his left arm is missing which is what’s in the cocoon
an albeit deformed version.
No. Miquella is missing his left arm and the withered arm is a right arm
People talk about his back being big, but they forget that the boy in his adult form is probably almost three meters tall 😭
Dude has a nice lil bakery
Enlarged God Miquella.
I don't think I'll ever not feel robbed by the fact that we only get to interact with Miquella as a boss-no, an accessory to a boss.
After all the build-up, and centering much of the DLC around him, it's intensely disappointing.
I still really like him, but the potential has been wasted.
First minute is almost all about feet. Truly a Souls fan.
Even his ring is gone. He truly abandoned everything to achieve his dream (and failed). It honestly makes me think about the fact that marika probably did the same and also gave up everything. This has crazy implications
He only failed because we were there.
Not a chance Radagon or the Elden Beast could stand against him and Radamohg
Marika didn't seem to abandon things but rather use people.
After all paths to godhood are many.
@@rafsandomierz5313 i think the paths to godhood all involve sacrifice in someway, and given miquella’s entire ideology it makes sense he would sacrifice himself to “help” everybody else. Also i just remembered the story trailer where marika grabs runes/hair from a body and seems to ascend to godhood. In that scene the gate of divinity looks a lot more bloody and fresh, whereas when we see it it’s gray, almost mummified. I wonder if marika had to sacrifice all those people to ascend? It would definitely fit with marika’s character, she always seems to prioritize her ideals over people (think of poor godfrey)
@@shpenkyobo Not sure if divine gateway was made by something or someone.
To me it looks like another Crucible.
Godfrey was conspiring with Mariska to get rid of the greater will. Her “banishing” Godfrey and his men to the badlands was all part of their masterplan to crease a band of warriors (tarnished) that would move in once she shatters the ring and destabilise the greater wills remaining control in the lands between. The “grace” guiding tarnished is literally marina guiding us to kill everything that would oppose her.
That has just occurred to me that in the boss fight he appears to actually be matured. Devinity defeated his curse?
So it's ok for me to give him backshots? Since he is an adult now...atleast in body heh heh heh heh heh heh heh
Yes, it was the goal. Godhood is the only way he could cure himself, cure his sister Malenia, and either fully revive Godwyn or put him to rest.
@@girlboss5172 Doesn't seem like it, he still speaks in his child like voice.
Until that's just how god's sound.
@@rafsandomierz5313 He sounds like a young teen, hardly like a child.
I honestly dream of having hair that long and beautiful.
Alas... its a dream.
That would be a nightmare to maintain lol
Trust me, having achieved this look with extensions, I can honestly tell you that the weight is so heavy you'd end up having a headache from how hard it's pulling on your scalp. 😂
Took them off the following day.
@@samf.s.7731 yeah, the weight aspect is the reality. Mad maintenance.
@@dormammu629 no joke, obviously only a little shorter would be plausible, but I’d love to have hair like him! Even if that meant spending an hour everyday trying to maintain them😂
0:45 straight just a word
Still bummed we don't get to be his consort
Same 😢
IT SHOULDVE BEEN ME, NOT HIM!
He is willing to use his charm on you at least and it does give gold text.. so that's something.
The music, the hair, the light, the words he speaks. This made me feel like Tarnished was fighting Jesus himself. God slain.
Spent countless years enacting a plan to shed his curse and become a god only to step out of the gate and get killed by some dude wearing a jar on his head and constantly rolls around like a crazy person
Bro, Miquella learned Super Sayan 5 with that hair, holy shit.
"Tender 👀🫦" Miquella
Watching this video literally makes me put my hands in my hair because of how great an opportunity they had to make the best dlc in the series and they cataclismically fucked up with this final boss.
It was literally the greatest opportunity in the history of gaming.
My headcanon ending is that I got caught by the grab move twice and it’s just over lol
I love the heart stolen death screen, peak Fromsoft comedy
Would it be possible for you to create a family video? Where all the god in the Raddgon/Marika Radagon/Rennala or Marika/Godf family stand together, showing which members belong to which family tree, and show them side by side to see the model.
That would be cool
Bro 's packing the entire bakery
He has such a beautiful mane!! Honestly I wish I had hair just like him and I would just prounce around and everybody would be just staring haha😅
Radahn & Miquella's combat song is so epic no matter how many times I listen to it.
My favorite Elden Ring OST, and for me, so far one of the best video game music in 2020s.
Not just the music, but moveset, difficulty, cinematic events when using summons... In every way, they were truly the most badass DLC boss in FromSoftware games!
100% agree with you. Miquellas OST really communicates that you are fight a divine and angelic being. The switch from solo to the chorus, fantastic.
One of the few things I like about Radahn and Miquella is the returning motif of Godfrey with Serosh on his back. Why they chose to use this motif again, I don't know, but it shows what Miquella looks to emulate with his ascension.
Ah a joyous day indeed! It’s always an excellent day when we are graced with a video of lord Miquella!
0:45 DAMN LOOK AT THAT CAKE
In typical souls fashion the first shot of him was a close up of his feet.
Hear me out...
Super Saiyan 100 typa cut
feet ahead
Move aside Gwyndolin, a new *BEST* femboy has arrived!
