If Melina is Odin, we can guess her purpose.




While looking around the various lores here, I suddenly came up with a new theory.

First of all, this is not certain at all. I'm just writing it down here because I think the theory that came to mind is quite plausible. Don't believe it so seriously.


For your information, I am North Korean and this article is translated into a translator. Because of this, there may be some strange parts in the text. I hope you understand that.



First of all, this theory is based on the premise that Melina is Odin. The evidence that Melina maybe Odin is written in more detail in another theory, so please refer to it. In this theory, I will only point out the necessary parts.




1. Odin and Melina's left eye



Odin was famous for his great greed for wisdom. Odin gained vast wisdom after sacrificing his eyes out of the Mimir's well(Mímisbrunnr). And It is said that Mímisbrunnr was at the foot of Yggdrassil, more specifically under the roots of Yggdrassil extending to Yotunheim(Land of giants in Nordic mythology).


Soon, Odin inserted his spear gungnir poke into his body, hung himself on Yggdrassil, and focused on meditation to gain the wisdom of the underworld. And on the 9th, Odin's spirit escaped from the bondage of the present world and reached the underworld. After returning from traveling to the underworld, Odin even gained the wisdom of the underworld. The wisdom Odin gained from the underworld was Wisdom of the Runes.



Connecting this to Melina, you can infer Melina's purpose.



Melina closes one eye and also asks the player to take her to the foot of the Erdtree. After that, Melina said, "Me, I'm searching for my purpose given to me by my mother inside the Erdtree long ago, for the reason that I yet live, burned and bodyless". After that, Melina says that her body has burned down. Looking at Melina's current condition, she looks like a kind of spirit.

In fact, Melina says in the Japanese version that her body is "burned, and now she is a spirit's body".



Melina's body burned down can be linked to Odin's sacrifice. Odin sacrificed his body to go to the underworld, and Melina burned her body and wandered around the land between as a spirit body.


Odin learned the wisdom of Rune in the underworld and returned to the foot of Yggdrassil, where his body is. And the land between where Melina travels is the world of a rune. Melina wants to go to the foot of Erdtree.


This allows you to guess two things: Melina wants to go to the foot of the Erdtree to find her burned body.




2. The flame of madness that burned her body



Also, I found something related to Melina in the spell "The fire of Frenzy".


The fire of Frenzy is a spell to accumulate Madness by firing a flame attack ahead, and the spell description is as follows.



An incantation from the maddening Three Fingers.

Causes the yellow flame of frenzy to burst forth from the caster's eyes.

This incantation can drive human foes mad, and charging up makes it more powerful.

Those whose eyes are afflicted with the flame of frenzy are racked with maddening pain and unstoppable tears.



This spell seems to be related to Melina.



First, Melina is closing her left eye. And these left eyes are engraved with patterns similar to tattoos or seals. As can be seen from the starting motion and explanation of The fire of Frenzy, this spell fires from the "eye". That's also "The fire of Frenzy".


Second, Melina's motif, as I said, is almost certainly Odin. And Odin's name means "Frenzy" in ancient Nordic. It seems to have a big connection to "The fire of Frenzy".


Third, As described before, Melina says in the Japanese version that her body is "burned, and now she is a spirit's body". I feel like it's related to "The fire of Frenzy".



What can be guessed from this is that the fire that Melina burned with her eyes closed is "The fire of Frenzy", that is, a flame of madness.


As I said, Odin sacrificed his eyes and gained wisdom at the foot of Yggdrassil. Let's connect this to Melina. Then Melina would have faced something similar to the source of madness at the foot of Erdtree, and would have been attracted by it and sacrificed her eyes. After losing his eyes, he would have burned her body. Just as Odin sacrificed himself to travel to the underworld.


Also, considering that Odin's name means "Frenzy", Melina may have become something related to madness by facing something similar to the source of madness.

Then, what is at the foot of the Erdtree?




3. Melina's purpose



If you think about it more here, Melina may be purposing for Elden Ring.



https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/querzl/the_lands_between_what/hks08dv/

According to the theory of this link, the prototype of the Elden Ring is six great runes.

As I said, Odin sacrificed himself to travel to the underworld to get the wisdom of the underworld that he wanted so much, and the wisdom of the underworld was Rune's wisdom. Also, as I said, Melina is presumed to have burned her body to travel through the land between. Considering that what Odin wanted to gain from the journey to the underworld was Rune's wisdom, perhaps Melina's purpose of travel was also the collection of great Rune.


Also, "Considering that Odin's name means "Frenzy", Melina may have become something related to madness by facing something similar to the source of madness" If you think about this word in connection with the theory at the link above, "The each great rune has different properties and twists the owner's spirit around the concept he embodies", Melina's view at the foot of the golden tree and what she sacrifices her eyes would be "A great rune with the attributes of madness and wisdom". Just as Odin sacrificed his eyes and gained wisdom.


So then Melina's purpose would be to take the rest of the great rune from Demigods with the Tarnished, betray the Tarnished at the end, and become Elden Lord herself. As if Odin had traveled to the underworld and gained the wisdom of Rune.
