Dataminers have discovered a hidden cutscene in the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC featuring St. Trina that ties into the game's existing lore. Fans are wondering why this cutscene was removed in the first place.

A June 28 post by Sekiro Dubi on X (formerly Twitter) shows a hidden cutscene discovered by a team including dataminers Chain Failure, Magical Shion, and Hnery. The cutscene features a black screen and the voice of St. Trina thanking the player. "Thank you," she whispers. "He is finally free." According to Sekiro, this was St. Trina's fourth cutscene and would play if the player returned to her after defeating Radahn, Consort of Miquella in Enir-Ilim.
The "he" here refers to the demigod Miquella. St. Trina, associated with sleep and possibly death, reveals her deep concern for Miquella's well-being during the first two times she speaks to the player. She believes that "divinity would be Miquella's prison" and that he would be beyond redemption after attaining it. Ultimately, St. Trina directs you to kill Miquella in the final interaction with her as part of her questline.
The reportedly cut content adds some context to Miquella's fate after the battle with Radahn at Enir-Ilim. The Tarnished being thanked for freeing Miquella seems like a fitting end to St. Trina's questline, which is more abrupt in the actual DLC.
