Elden Ring is a treasure trove when it comes to lore, as are most of FromSoftware's newer games. For years now, especially with the addition of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, players have crafted incredible theories, some of which require extensive video essays to fully explore.
Now, four years after the game came out, a new, unused cutscene has been discovered that shows Miquella, Malenia's brother, planting the massive Haligtree where the Tarnished fights the latter. It was dug out of the game's files by Lance McDonald, a YouTuber specializing in data mining, who presented the cutscene to us in full for the very first time.
