This goal served as the impetus for Elden Ring's development into existence in the first place, and it continues to serve that function. In order for players to successfully complete this mission, they will need to travel throughout the entirety of the Lands Between, explore the region's countless one-of-a-kind locations, and engage in combat with hordes upon hordes of the area's native inhabitants. Within the context of the game, the player has access to a number of distinct narrative paths from which to select. Almost every character in the game has their very own backstory, some of which begins a very long time before the events that actually take place in the game itself. Some of these backstories even predate the events that actually take place in the game itself. A few of these narratives even go back further in time than the actual events that take place in the game itself. The events that take place in the game themselves take place in the present day, but some of these stories take place many millennia before those events. He is also known as The Black Blade, which is a nickname given to him due to the fact that he always dresses in dark clothing.

Maliketh was obligated to comply with them despite the fact that she found them upsetting, despite the fact that she found them upsetting

1.  This is analogous to how Blaidd assists Ranni the Witch and watches over her throughout the entirety of the events that take place in the game

2.  His most important assignment, which Marika delegated to him, was to guard the Rune of Death, which is a component of the Elden Ring and is in charge of the power associated with an individual's physical demise

3.  Ranni was successful in her attempt to steal a piece of the rune that had been hidden for some time inside the Black Blade that belonged to Maliketh

4.  Ranni's plan was to steal a piece of the rune that had been hidden inside the Black Blade

5.  She used it to establish the Black Knife Assassins, the individuals responsible for the assassination of Godwyn the Golden and the beginning of the chain of events that would eventually result in The Shattering

6.  She used it to establish the Black Knife Assassins

7.  Godwyn the Golden was killed

8.  Godwyn, known as the Golden, was put to death

9.  It was the vehicle through which she launched the Black Knife Assassins organization

A sentence of death was handed down to the notorious criminal Godwyn, also known as the Golden. Because of this, Maliketh was able to put his failure to protect the rune in the past and fulfill Marika's wishes despite the fact that he had failed to do so. Maliketh was able to put his failure to protect the rune in the past and fulfill Marika's wishes as a result of this, despite the fact that he had failed to do so while protecting the rune. Maliketh is not performing at the level of excellence that is possible for him in the role of Gurranq, which he is currently playing. Instead, he is falling short of the mark. The Bestial Sanctum is found in Caelid, and it is possible to find Maliketh there, either in her own form or in the guise of Gurranq. Both of these guises are possible to find in the Bestial Sanctum. It is possible to come across both of these guises of Maliketh in that location. The fact that Maliketh carries the Rune of Death on his person is almost certainly the cause of his insatiable craving for deathroot.

There is quite a lot of evidence that can be interpreted in a variety of ways that points in the direction of this hypothesis being true. The player will have the opportunity to overhear Maliketh muttering to himself about his previous existence if they continue to advance the Maliketh questline by feeding Maliketh more deathroot. This will allow the player to learn more about Maliketh's history. As a direct consequence of this development, the player will have the opportunity to learn more about Maliketh's history. In addition to that, Maliketh hands over to the Tarnished the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. It is abundantly clear that Maliketh has not moved on from the errors he committed in the past, despite the fact that he is attempting to evade capture at Leyndell, the location where Marika is employed. This is the case despite the fact that Maliketh is attempting to avoid being caught at the location. In point of fact, it is even more obvious that he has not moved on from those mistakes. The Real Feelings of Maliketh Will Eventually Come to the Surface, Either Ahead of or Behind Schedule According to When It Is Appropriate for Them to Do So.

The real feelings of Maliketh will eventually come to the surface, either ahead of or behind schedule according to when it is appropriate for them to do so. This remains the case even if they avoid Gurranq entirely while they are in the Bestial Sanctum. Even if they manage to stay away from Gurranq entirely while they are in the Bestial Sanctum, the outcome of the situation will not be affected in any way by this choice. This will be the case regardless of whether or not they have any interactions with Gurranq while they are in the Bestial Sanctum. It will still be the case regardless. It will be the same regardless of what happens. These are two responsibilities that he ought to be able to handle without any kind of difficulty at all. After he has transformed into his true form as Maliketh, the player will be able to observe the character swearing allegiance to his queen by listening to him refer to himself as Marika's Black Blade whenever he is victorious over other players. This will allow the player to observe the character's transformation into his true form as Maliketh. As a direct result of the player doing this, the player will be able to observe the transformation of the character into his authentic form as Maliketh.

This will give the player the chance to watch their character as they swear allegiance to their queen and this will provide them with an opportunity to do so. Because he was powerless to stop the theft of the Rune of Death, he has settled on this course of action as the best course of action to take in the circumstances. The unfortunate circumstances that Maliketh is currently in are made even more heartbreaking by the fact that she is currently in them. This is because Marika does not appear to care about her shadow-bound beast. The fact that Maliketh is currently dealing with unfortunate circumstances is made even more heartbreaking by the fact that Marika does not appear to care. This is despite the fact that it is entirely feasible that she acts in this manner in order to shield herself from the repercussions of the choices she has made. Maliketh's chances of accomplishing her goal of completing the mission were drastically diminished as a direct and immediate result of the action that she took, which was to take this particular action.

Maliketh, in contrast to Ranni and Blaidd, does not appear to develop a deeper relationship with his charge, and instead, Maliketh is dealt with more like a beast than anything else. Ranni and Blaidd do develop a deeper relationship with their respective charges. Ranni and Blaidd both wind up cultivating closer relationships with the people for whom they are responsible, but for very different reasons. It turns out that Ranni and Blaidd both end up cultivating closer relationships with the people for whom they are responsible, but the reasons behind this development couldn't be more different.
