In their countless attempts at fighting Shadow of the Erdtree\u2019s final campaign boss, Elden Ring<\/strong> players might have noticed a unique \u201cHeart Stolen\u201d game over screen that pops up when Radahn, Consort of Miquella (the boss\u2019s second phase) grabs the player two times during the fight. The Tarnished stops attacking Miquella and Radahn, and gets on one knee to swear fealty to the lord and consort. This act ties heavily into Miquella\u2019s lore, as does the rune needed to prevent his influence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Miquella<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Miquella the Kind is known as the most fearsome Empyrean <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born to Radagon of the Golden Order and Marika the Eternal, Miquella is an Empyrean cursed with eternal youth. To compensate for his curse, Miquella is blessed with the ability to compel affection from others. Miquella\u2019s ability to charm others to fight for his cause can be seen in Shadow of the Erdtree, particularly through Needle Knight Leda and Miquella\u2019s other followers who have been called from far-off lands to serve the Empyrean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tarnished being grabbed by Miquella during the Radahn, Consort of Miquella boss fight could hint at how Miquella was able to charm his followers. If a simple touch from Miquella is all it takes for others to do his bidding, then it\u2019s a wonder why he wasn\u2019t able to get an army to follow him to the Land of Shadow. Miquella stripping himself of his flesh may have contributed to the Empyrean\u2019s weakness and limited him to charming only a few people, which might be why he reserved using his powers for those he deemed worthy of following him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Miquella's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Miquella\u2019s Great Rune is the only thing that can prevent having your heart stolen <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways players can prevent the \u201cHeart Stolen\u201d game over screen. They can either avoid Radahn, Consort of Miquella\u2019s grab attacks altogether, or use Miquella\u2019s Great Rune that drops from the Scadutree Avatar located at the base of the Scadutree. With this item, players can remove the debuff that appears over their characters\u2019 heads whenever they get grabbed by the boss for the first time. Miquella\u2019s Great Rune can be used as many times as needed during the fight, preventing the \u201cHeart Stolen\u201d game over screen from occurring.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Radahn, Consort of Miquella\u2019s grab is by far the boss\u2019s easiest move to dodge, it was nice a nice touch by FromSoftware to add more depth to Miquella\u2019s character and the boss fight. Considering how hard Miquella tries to get the Tarnished to abandon their cause and fight for him, one wonders whether the player character should have ended up becoming Miquella\u2019s consort instead of Radahn. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
