The Shadow of the Erdtree trailer left a massive trail of treats for players to eagerly follow but we’ve not gotten anywhere. Questions keep mounting and none are answered, but one wild theory regarding the identity of an Elden Ring DLC boss may be our first breakthrough.
Explained by a Reddit user in a March 19 thread, the theory goes deep into the identity and nature of the “Lion” boss we saw in the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer. The boss, the user claims, shares several characteristics with two Elden Ring bosses—Morgott and Serosh. The DLC boss seems to feature both the former’s horns and the latter’s leonine nature, and the redditor thinks it’s the two joined together. Serosh and Morgott were both killed by Godfrey or Hoarah Loux, and it could be some of his magic at work making it happen.
