Quick Shadow of the Erdtree theory:

I’m looking at the shape of the…thing this guy’s been impaled with, and you know what the asymmetrical, curved, pointy shape reminds me of? And the golden, shimmery, sparkling quality it has?

And this makes me wonder: could this spiky golden thing impaled through this guy have once been an attempt to create some sort of anti-black knife, imbued with holy power, made with the purpose of either healing Those Who Live in Death/returning them to the Erdtree, or giving them a true death?

#the shape also reminds me of parts of the elden ring itself but. that motif is in everything so idk what to tie that to #this is very half baked because my brain is fogging again today so pls feel free to add onto this/correct stuff #also thinks about miquella’s attempts to make unalloyed gold to heal different ailments and such #BIG SHRUG #just wanted to post smth about it because i haven’t seen theories that touch on this yet #anyway #elden ring #shadow of the erdtree #elden ring theory #elden ring lore #speaketh
