Why Miquella's Haligtree Failed to Become an Erdtree in Elden Ring

00:00 Intro 00:26 The Haligtree failed before Mohg or Scarlet Rot could ruin it 01:14 The Haligtree was meant to replace the Erdtree 03:59 The Haligtree achieved enormous growth but never achieved the Erdtree's Divine Status 06:47 Miquella Cocoon makes Interrupted Growth the strongest alternative explanation 08:55 Only Ascension could make Miquella a God 10:48 Miquella needed to become a God to complete a New Order 11:43 Conclusions Why did Miquella's Haligtree fail to become an Erdtree? The obvious answer seems to be Mohg, Miquella's disappearance and the Scarlet Rot consuming the Haligtree from within. But in this video I'm trying to explain why Miquella eventually abandoned the Haligtree and pursued godhood through the Gate of Divinity. I look at the Haligtree itself: its enormous scale, the architecture of Elphael, Miquella's blood, his cocoon, the spread of Scarlet Rot and what Shadow of the Erdtree reveals about his later path. The central question of this Elden Ring lore video is simple: what if the Haligtree successfully became a massive sacred tree, but failed to become an Erdtree because Miquella had not yet become the god his new order required? ☕💛 Support me with a coffee - https://ko-fi.com/wintervalis ✅ Subscribe for more Elden Ring and other soulslike games lore videos (   / @wintervalis  ! 👉 Join my Discord server in order to get the upcoming updates and communicate with others:   / discord   👉 Thanks to ‪@Athena-sound‬ for the music on background:    • Cosmic Electronic Post-rock Reese Bass Mix...   👉 Join my Twich channel in order to communicate live during the Streams:   / wintervalis   #eldenring #eldenringlore #haligtreelore #eldenringtheory #heligtree #miquella #miquellalore
