3 Elden Ring Mysteries that the Upcoming Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree Has to Answer
Elden Ring has revolutionized the entire action, role-playing genre since it was released. It was the biggest release of 2022 and even after two years, players have been still excited about the game and its storyline. Therefore, as soon as they heard about the upcoming Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, they started assuming what this DLC would cover. Until now, the developers have stated nothing officially about the content of the DLC, but fans expect, it will definitely answer some of the Elden Ring’s unsolved mysteries.
Elden Ring’s story is very systematically built with ambiguities, which heightens its appeal to players. There are several plots and characters in the game whom the storyline stitched wonderfully, without any inconsistency. However, still, there are a few mysteries that players expect to get answers to in the upcoming DLC and this guide will list the top three.
3. Who Was The Gloam-Eyed Queen in Elden Ring?
If you have played the entire game you must have heard the name of Gloam-Eyed Queen. Though she never appeared in the game story or no character ever directly talked about her, this character is mentioned in the lore. In the earlier stages of the game, the lore are full of her name. She was part of the story but was missing in the game.

This is pretty weird that a powerful character like her who once wielded such power has been completely ignored in the main game. No one mentions her name, background, or real identity. However, if you have encountered the Frenzied Flame ending, you must have guessed that Melina is the Gloam-Eyed Queen mentioned in the lore, but without proper evidence, it can’t be confirmed. So, we hope the upcoming DLC will solve this doubt.
2. Who Was The God-Devouring Serpent?
The next mystery that players need an answer to is the story of the God-Devouring Serpent. If you remember, you must have fought Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy and the God-Devouring Serpent. While exploring the Volcano Manor, these enemies must have given you a tough time. Now, if you remember, the story told you that after returning to the Golden Order and accepting Blasphemy, Rykard surrendered himself to the God-Devouring Serpent who lived in the Volcano Manor.
The God-Devouring Serpent absorbed all his powers and they marged to become a Demi-God. This helped them strengthen their power. From the story and the dialogue of the characters, it is clear that the God-Devouring Serpent used to be worshipped in the Lands Between as Rykard also had a dream that showed him the serpent gobbling the whole world. Even after all that the origin and the purpose of the Serpent is still unclear. The story didn’t shed any light on these facts. So, maybe the upcoming DLC content will give these answers.
1. Who is the Previous Owner of Torrent?
Throughout your Elden Ring journey, you will have Torrent whenever you want. As you start your journey as Tarnished, you will get a whistle to summon Torrent. This mount not only becomes one of your inseparable companions but also helps you explore the Lands Between. Whenever required, you can escape tricky situations with the help of Torrent. However, there’s a trick. Torrent’s history is entirely confined throughout the game. His previous owner is not revealed.

Ranni and Melina had some past with Torrent, and Melina gave you the whistle to call the Spectral Steed, but they were not her original owners. This thing became clear when Ranni said that Torrent’s previous owner gave her the Spirit Calling Bell. If it was Melina, she could have provided you with both items together. Therefore, the mystery remains and players want a conclusion of this mystery. The DLC shows Torrent, so, we can hope this time we will get to know more about the mount and its past.
Other Elden Ring Mysteries That Shadow Of the Erdtree May Solve
Apart from the above three mysteries, the story of Elden Ring has multiple other mysteries that need proper answers. Some of these mysteries can be exciting to solve. So, below we have listed a few more-
- In the Elden Ring storyline, it was told that Ranni plotted against Godwyn and the Black Knife assassins were the ones who had to do it. But during Ranni’s questline, players must have noticed that Black Knife assassins are behind Ranni, Iji, and Blaidd. This is a mystery why the Black Knife assassins turned aggressive toward them.
- While exploring Caelid, players must have noticed the giant Skulls. These are blended with the mountains and valleys to form the location. These skulls seem to be much bigger than the Giants we have encountered in the game. Moreover, the giants’ land is located north side of the map. So, it is hard to know what these giants had been doing in Caelid.
- The DLC can also answer why Godwyn was targeted. Godwyn was a great demi-god and his death would cause anachy. Despite that why he was specifically targeted was not revealed in the main game. We only know Ranni wanted to kill him, but the reason behind the act is not clear.
These are some of the Elden Ring mysteries that the DLC can solve. There are several more that Shadow of the Erdtree can answer and until it comes nothing can be stated clearly.
