What were your favourite lore moments in your journey through the Lands of Shadow?

[masterdna]

Miquella IS dead. He is not a spirit like Serosh. We kill his body and soul when we kill Radhan.
Thats why the remembrance is "Remembrance of a lord and a god". He is able to be killed because he stripped himself of his immortal flesh to become a new god. Also his death is confirmed by St Trina.

[UsedToBeRonin]

Due to datamining we know that Miquella's flashback model as a child has gold eyes of the golden order where his spectral god / adult form has gray eyes because he's cut himself off from 'gold'

[morganasapphire]

Among the ruins of Unte you can actually find an unlit furnace golem and have a good view perched from above. Inside is a whole drake.

[torikborik]

6:40 Miquella’s body does die because he sacrificed it all over land of shadow. We also get the text “God Slain”

[GewalfofWivia]

Miquella abandoned his “hesitation” and his “love” at crosses. Of course he’s not so dedicated to compassion anymore.

[Abyranss]

When you find the Miquella Cross that marks where he abandoned his eye, you can go back to Ansbach who reacts in surprise and tells you that Miquella's eyes are no mere morsel of flesh, but proof of his status as an empyrean. Seeing as how Ranni has one eye shut, Malenia has both of hers scarred over, Marika has the side of her face missing when we find her, and Melina, if you believe her to be the Gloam-Eyed Queen, also has one eye shut, it seems as though there's something notable going on with the eyes of all empyreans. Messmer also has one eye shut and some sort of deity inhabiting his body which might mark him as one too.

[Nope-ity-nope-nope]

Manus -> Latin for hand
Metyr -> Meter -> Latin for mother
Metyr = Manus Metyr = Mother Hand

[benchambers]

Imagine if radahn has a third phase where he just rips Miquella in half and combines gravity magic and blood flame fully

[Nemo]

Regarding the similarly between Miquella and Serosh, the latter had a separate existence as a Lord of Beasts before becoming Godfrey's advisor. My guess is the Two Fingers turned Serosh into a being akin to the shadowbound, meaning that had Hourah Loux prevailed, Serosh would have regenerated and turned him back into Godfrey. That would explain why Serosh casually let Godfrey snap his neck.

[Ultimaniacx]

The item is called Remembrance of a God and a Lord. So it must really be him. All the Remembrances say they were hewn/shaped into the Erdtre/Scadutree. Since nothing ever really dies then maybe they can be reincarnated in some way.
Maybe by force of will? Kind of like how you eat Bayle's heart yet his sheer rage continues to try and return.

[Serogath]

The first time a furnance golem grabed me it was raining and it's flames where smaller and i could see the whole dragon inside of him

[ALaz]

Lyndell was definitely an imporant city pre-Marika's reign. If you overlap the maps, it's literally located on top of where the shadowtree would be.

[mohammedbaig]

Not me instantly killing the first kindred of rot I see because of PTSD from the base game 💀

[itzjustboris]

I feel so sorry for Radahn and mohg they both got screwed royally here, Radahn robbed of the peace we finally granted him and mohg robbed of his dignity by being manipulated and having his body desecrated

[sunlesssirris]

You can save Moore. In my second playthrough I warmed the kindred of rot being and never spoke to him afterwards until after final boss and he was still there, special dialogue too.

[Zeke]

7:01 you say it never ends but we only have one single example of a person coming back from the dead once WE kill them. Radahn. That’s it. The only time.

Mohg in the sewers is an illusion, not real Mohg. Same with Margit for Morgott. We only fight the real version once when we kill them.

Miquella divested himself of his body. That’s why he’s see-through. He’s a god that exists as just a soul. And once we kill his lord (who he basically fused himself with) he dies as well.

[moricree]

Miquella doesn't have eyes anymore. He plucked them out as a sacrafice to turn into a god just like his arm or his heart

[mindcake]

I think it's important to note the dragon head in the furnace golem is a drake head and not an ancient dragon. We know from the base game that drakes are more animalistic and violent than the ancient dragons. From Bayle's lore we also know that the ancient dragons have a grudge against the drakes as well. It's very possible the furnace golem was set upon by a rogue drake and not the other way around but I'm not sure if any faction would claim the attack for any political basis

[Kaptime]

People are still finding things now, like Quelagg just found that the Helphen's Steeple sword is a model of Messmer's tower and that and the Tibia Mariner's are in the same boats from the part of Shadow Castle with the Shadow Militiamen.
