Summary An Elden Ring fan's Melina cosplay impresses with attention to detail and scene-setting skills, capturing the character perfectly.

Melina is a crucial part of the Elden Ring journey, with her influence pivotal in reaching game endings.

Anticipation grows for the upcoming Elden Ring DLC, which may provide answers to lingering mysteries surrounding Melina.

An Elden Ring cosplayer perfectly captures a realistic version of the mysterious guide, Melina, and times it well with the release of the upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. FromSoftware's latest Soulsborne RPG released in 2022 and continues to garner attention and intrigue new players, especially with a new DLC coming soon. Players are hoping Shadow of Erdtree can answer longstanding Elden Ring mysteries, with one of these mysteries revolving around the maiden guide, Melina.

Cosplayer LeAtlass shared their impressive Melina cosplay with the world via Reddit, showing off their attention to detail and scene-setting skills. The cloak, dress, and wig come together to make LeAtlass look identical to Melina from the game, making it feel as though she stepped straight out of a scene and into real life. LeAtlass also made sure to have Melina's scarred and tattooed eye.

Many comments joked about staying away from their trees because of the inclusion of a realistic fire being cast in the picture. Another look at LeAtlass' cosplay shows off the entire outfit as she is walking through trees, which is a fitting scene for the character.

Melina Is A Major Part of The Elden Ring Journey

Her Influence On The Story Is Undeniable

Melina is a major part of the player's journey and without her influence, the ending of the game cannot be reached. Her mysterious backstory and insistence on burning the Erdtree made a lot of players want to know more about her. She is a character shrouded in mystery from the beginning encounter with her all the way to the very end of the game. Depending on the choices players make, Melina's fate might look different for each player, but her importance stays with them regardless.

The highly anticipated DLC, Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree is coming in June 2024 to all platforms and will take players to an entirely new area known as the Land of Shadow. There may be a strong connection to Melina through the rumors that Miquella will play a major part in the story, with the hopes that fans will finally discover whether Melina is Queen Marika's daughter, thus making her the sister of Miquella and Malenia.

With the excitement of the DLC growing, it is likely that impressive cosplays will continue to pop up and the DLC might inspire new characters for fans to embody. The possibility of a new Elden Ring game is also strong, but there is nothing confirmed about when or even if this is actually happening. Fans are happy to continue their playthroughs of the original game and the Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree DLC will bring new attention and love to the game.
