The Gloam-Eyed Queen Explained | Elden Ring Lore

The Gloam-Eyed Queen was Melina, but also Rennala and a spirit-caller snail (no, seriously).

Easily one of the most mysterious figures in Elden Ring, the Gloam-Eyed Queen led the Godskins before their defeat by Maliketh. She was even rumored to be an Empyrean--a title only shared by Marika, Malenia, Miquella, and Ranni. Yet only four items in Elden Ring directly mention a Gloam-Eyed Queen.

Now in the lore community, Melina is one of the most popular candidates for the Gloam-Eyed Queen. And I agree!

But in this video, I argue that the "Gloam-Eyed Queen" could be seen as a title, akin to Elden Lord, with Melina being just the latest incarnation. I reveal two bosses with surprisingly deep connections to the Gloam-Eyed Queen, and may have held that title prior to Melina.

Spoilers (and a dash of unhinged speculation) ahead!
