Overview
- Lance McDonald, a noted FromSoftware dataminer, published the find Saturday, sharing video of the lost scene and the never-before-seen map file it used.
- The cutscene shows Miquella planting a Haligtree sapling and watering it with his own blood in a location tied to the late-game area where players fight Malenia.
- McDonald says the files include unused voice lines, though a missing connector file means the exact playback order remains uncertain.
- He reports the scene was likely meant to appear after Gideon Ofnir gave a Dectus Medallion piece at Roundtable Hold as an early teaser for the Haligtree plot.
- Reporters say the tone points to an earlier, more utopian view of Miquella and illustrates how FromSoftware cut or reshaped this story material during development.
