Unraveling the CREEPIEST Mystery in Elden Ring - Godwyn's Mermaid Metamorposis

Godwyn the Golden's transfigured mermaid form is perhaps one of the most talked about and scrutinized topics in all of Elden Ring's lore. And for good reason. It's weird, horrifying and awesome all at the same time. But...WHY is he a mermaid anyway? Could Godwyn's incomprehensible transformation have a more obvious origin than we realized? We know that Marika the Eternal has a history of birthing children with various curses: Messmer, Miquella, Malenia, Mohg and Morgott…Melina. The list is probably longer than we even realize. So was Godwyn the Golden spared from this fate? Or was there something else hidden in the shadows. I welcome you tarnished, to join me, Zayf the Scholar, as I attempt to unravel the truth behind Godwyn's Mysterious mermaid metamorphosis. When some messages from fans in Japan lead me into a surreal rabbit hole of ancient esoteric Japanese history, folklore, freakshows and elaborate hoaxes. Thematic through-lines between Hidetaka Miyazaki's popular games like Bloodborne, Sekiro and occultist belief abound. We're going into deep waters on this one…I hope you enjoy the ride!
