AnElden Ringfan has created a unique and adorable animated video that depicts Miquella’s story from theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, with the song “Mastermind” by Taylor Swift used to great effect. While the video itself is a brilliant display of creativity and adulation for theElden Ringfranchise, the song serves as icing on the cake since it aligns quite well with Miquella’s story.
TheShadow of the ErdtreeDLC has given a completely new dynamic to theElden Ringlore. While the likes ofMohg looked evil inElden Ring,Shadow of the Erdtree showed that Miquella was the one planning it all along.Elden Ring’sstoryline can be a bit complicated to understand at first, and a fan has given it a unique touch by retelling it in a delightful way.
In a new video, YouTuber Nate Sandhart showcases one of the bestElden Ringfan creations to date. The video portrays Miquella’s story in animated form, with the character performing the song “Mastermind” by Taylor Swift as events play out. The title of thesong itself is quite fitting forElden Ring’sMiquella, considering that he had a treacherous plan set in order to become a god, which involved manipulating the likes ofMohg, Lord of Bloodto get what he desires. However, that’s not the only reason why this song seems perfect for the story, as the lyrics also fit in quite well.
Taylor Swift’s Mastermind Seems Fitting For Miquella
The video starts off with Miquella being impressed with Radahn and asking him to be his Promised Consort, with the lyrics “.. And all the stars aligned, you and I ended up in the same room, at the same time” playing in the background.Radahn’s connection with stars is well known in theElden Ringlore, as he is the one who uses gravitational magic to stop the stars to protect Sellia, Town of Sorcery inElden Ring. Then, the video shows Miquella devising his plan of using Radahn and Mohg, and even that moment syncs perfectly with the “Checkmate, I couldn’t lose” portion of the song.
The meticulousness of the video is something truly special. For instance, there is a moment that portrays Miquella’s plans on a drawing board, and each of them is relevant to the lore, including the nod toElden Ring’s Godwyn. Another noteworthy moment is when the video showcases Mohg kidnapping Miquella and the song goes “It was all my design, ‘Cause I am a mastermind.” Based on the comments,Elden Ringfans are in awe of the effort that went into this creation and how effectively it retells such an intricate storyline.
