As all the players would agree,Elden Ringis a complicated game, something that FromSoftware and Hidetaka Miyazaki might have intended to do ever since the beginning but that does not help stop gamers from creating the wrong impression about some elements of the storyline.Coming up with how our Tarnished Character might not just be the best person to be wandering The Lands Between and the Realm of Shadow, a player has expressed how he feels after beating a particular boss in the recent DLC.
Old Man in the Mansion – Players Wonder What Is the Tarnished’s Purpose in Elden Ring
In retrospect, there are a lot of questionable acts the tarnished commits throughout the playthrough of the game, but none has ever come to question like this one in recent times.

Posting onElden Ring’sReddit forum, a user has asked other players if there is any definite reason why the tarnished takes Midra, the Lord of the Frenzied Flame as an opponent, defeating him after invading Midra’s Manse in the Abyssal Woods. He is, after all, an old guy just ‘chilling alone’ in his house.
While there is not much one can say about what particular purposeHidetaka Miyazakihad in mind while creating the main game and its recentShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, users in the comments section have given their thoughts on the topic, with some stating how it is our character’s mission to collect whatever power remains in the world.
Furthermore, with new revelations in the recent DLC, the guidance of the Greater Will comes into question as it is possible that not only the player, but even Queen Marika herself was following outdated guidance from the outer god.
Outdated Guidance – What Has Been Going On in Elden Ring?
It was made clear from the very beginning how there is a huge timeline of events queued behind the present times before we arrive in The Lands Between. Spanning over 5000 years and written byGeorge RR Martin, the story goes over the shattering ofElden Ringand all the demigods fighting against each other.

However, it is possible the very rule of Queen Marika and her quest to conquer the world was done while following outdated guidance from the Greater Will. Encountering Metyr, Mother of Fingers in the recentShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, players come to know how she has been driven crazy and stopped receiving communication from the outer god a long time ago.
While the new revelation fails to get much spotlight with all that has been going on withMiquella and his journey to ascend into godhood, it is ultimately a perspective-changing fact that could change how fans look atElden Ringforever.
