Datamined Elden Ring cutscene gives more clues about DLC villain Miquella's original story

Miquella looking over Radahn's shoulder at the end of Shadow of the Erdtree like some kind of freak.

Longtime FromSoftware dataminer Lance McDonald has unveiled his latest discovery from deep in the bowels of Elden Ring, a WIP base game cutscene featuring DLC antagonist Miquella the Kind, who remains one of the most enigmatic characters in any FromSoft game.

The cut scene (cut cutscene?) shows Miquella planting a sapling Haligtree⁠—the endgame dungeon where you fight Malenia⁠—then watering it with his own blood. It takes place in a modified version of Malenia's boss room, further solidifying its connection with the origins of the Haligtree. Miquella's character model appears to be the same as the one from his final scene in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
