Possible Characters
- Melina
- Rosus
- Snow Witch
- Godwyn the Golden
Melina
Melina entered the world under the protective shade of the mighty Erdtree, but her physical form met an unfortunate fate, leaving her as a wandering soul with a blank slate of memories. Her true calling, bestowed upon her by her mother, Queen Marika the Eternal, was lost in the flames that consumed her body.
- Though unspoken, the hints suggest that Melina’s origins are deeply intertwined with the powerful matriarch of the realm.
- There’s speculation among fans regarding the identity of the Gloam-Eyed Queen, with many convinced it’s none other than Melina.
Rosus
Rosus assumes the noble role of both guide and guardian, ensuring that those who seek to reconnect with their roots can safely traverse the mystical Lands Between.
As other people are pointing out, it does seem like it could have been a placeholder for the statues that guide you to the catacombs. Fun fact: the figure depicted in these statues is stated to be named Rosus, the Usher of Death. pic.twitter.com/tLPgVhPP9N

- As the revered protector of the sacred Erdtree Burial, he is entrusted with the task of leading lost souls to the catacombs, where they can find solace and eternal rest.
- For the deceased, wandering aimlessly in this enchanting realm is a perilous journey, but with Rosus as their beacon of hope, they can find their way back to where they belong.
Snow Witch
Lunar Princess Ranni once crossed paths with a mysterious hag in the forest – The Snow Witch. This icy sorceress had a lot to teach Ranni, including the art of using frosty magic and instilling fear of the dark moon in her heart.
But when Ranni met her untimely demise during the perilous Night of Black Knives, her soul found an unusual vessel – a doll fashioned in the image of the very witch who had mentored her.
Godwyn the Golden
When his mother was in charge, the Erdtree faced a fierce attack from the Dragons, who had previously dominated the world. Thankfully, the forces of the Erdtree emerged victorious, with Godwyn emerging as the hero who defeated the terrifying Fortissax and even won over the dragon’s loyalty.
How can Melina be connected to the upcoming Elden Ring DLC?
The fate of our beloved Melina has left us wondering after her heroic sacrifice to light the Erdtree. Could she possibly make a comeback in the expansion? Let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to see her again? After all, she’s the only NPC that didn’t have a bloodlust for our character.
Is there a way to save Melina?
Picture this – you’re in Elden Ring, and you meet the lovely Melina. She’s kind, she’s charming, and she’s vital to your journey. Saving her is a no-brainer, right? Well, the good news is that you can rescue her from a tragic fate. But, and this is a big but, it’s not going to be a walk in the park. You’ll have to make a tough choice that will turn Melina into an enemy.
