Contrary to popular belief, the female Undead Merchant is not unkillable. If she survives being hit, she'll run away, but she only has 420 HP (Yes, I'm serious). You can kill her in regular gameplay if you just deal enough damage. There are actually a few other places besides bonfires where c1000 is used, such as the Plaque of Legends in the Battle of Stoicism, the Darkmoon Tomb entrance where Gwyndolin speaks to you, and, weirdly, one of the big graves in Firelink cemetery. I decided not to show all of them because everything ends up being basically the same as how the bonfire or Snuggly behaves. Also, there's a bit of a weird interaction with tails I didn't really go into. If you spawn it the normal way, by tail-cutting an NPC, setting the tail's HP to 0 does nothing. If you force spawn it separately, setting its HP to 0 causes it to vanish like a few of the other NPCs.
So a lot of quests were meant to be in Firelink. First the unused cutscene of the statue behind Frampt and now a grave that could have some interactions? Interesting.
@@Victor_StudentOfFloppa Well, I don't know what that looks like, but it's possible for Kalameet to die before Gough shoots him down. Gough actually has unique dialogue if the player does this, though I've never done it personally
One thing I only just thought about that might explain a lot about tailcuts being NPCs is remembering how severing the limbs of the Centipede Demon spawns them as centipede enemies during the fight.
Could be that it was done to give that wiggly ragdoll interaction/effect as well I think, it would certainly be more efficient to make the tails NPCs and utilize the same ragdoll physics as other slain enemies than rigging a prop with physics when the game doesn't really utilize that aspect as much, with exclusion to breakables. Depends really on if the engine differentiates behaviour between enemies & props, weird as it might be sometimes engines do have particular sensitivities in how they treat what the object in the game is identified as.
@@e.7504 I don't think they were supposed to be an enemy neither a boss, rather they would behave like any other NPC which is to aggro after a certain damage threshold.
The Stone Dragon even has the boss death sound and unused animations that imply it was going to be a boss. Makes sense since Ash Lake feels so empty, always felt like more was intended for the area.

i seen a video of it fighting another boss, so presumably it also had attack animations (just a tail whip though) or the creator of the video made an attack pattern for it.
Maybe they at one point intended for it to be like the Ancient Dragon in Dark Souls 2, making it an optional boss. That or it might have just been a boss outright during development.
@@uhcyo12 If I'm not mistaken he turns hostile if you keep attacking after secering his tail. I think he's only aggro'd until the next rest/loading screen though
Interesting that the serpents have death animations, which means that maybe they were able to die at some point of development. I can totally imagine a quest in which one of the serpents tasks you with killing the other one
What?! Im not really surpised about the immortal dragon death animation, but, frampt and kaathe have an unused death animation?! Im wondering how they wanted to use them, maybe in some quests?
Its possible it was just intended they would aggro on you if you hit them like other NPC's but we also see more of these serpents in the dark ending so its also possible they would have been regular enemies that most likely would have popped up over some bottomless pit or the abyss.
Its not a death animation, in another zullie video she explains what happens to the model when you hit frampt or kaath. When you deal enough damage to either they go away, its trying to call that animation while simultaneously fixing the error that it produced by unstretching the stretched neck of the serpents
It's interesting how some things were clearly planned to be killable, like the serpents and the everlasting dragon. The latter even makes the boss death sound effect. I wonder what causes the serpent dialogue loop. The game expecting more lines of dialogue? Another trigger to get you out of dialogue failing? Maybe it's both.
I think it has something to do with the death animation happening instead of the one where he just goes back into the shrine, cause it also stops the doors from closing after him.
I’ve never played any of the Dark Souls games but I’m loving these videos. More an insight in to the minds of the developers than a deep dive in to the lore. Absolute brilliance.
So much unused content got discovered over time i am fascinated on what you cant normally kill but still has a death animation. They could have tried to include cut content in the remake but sadly they didnt bother.
The music is so nostalgic for me. My first playthrough of dark souls 1 was so fun. I miss experiencing everything for the first time after coming home from school on a friday night to play
Between framps death animation and the curse of having to hear him say "you forry sool" over and over again I would say thats the best one of the video
Thats interesting, Frampts animation is actually somewhat fleshed out. Another piece of potentially cut content that could of led to who knows where. Alternating storylines if you kill either snake maybe???
Do you know that weird animation or glitch that happens to Kaathe when you hit him with the dark hand strong attack? How does it look like without the abyss?
As already said, you can actually just full-on ignore both serpents, and just hop down the hole to place the Lordvessel yourself. You can then just hop down the hole to warp to the Lordvessel anytime, skipping dialogue and animations.
1:28 thanks for this nightmare fuel lol Kinda interesting how the Ancient Dragon when dying also has this sound like bosses do. Makes me wonder if they had any bigger plans with him (also because they actually bothered making a death animation for him).
I can still remember Snuggly's final words. "You you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you!"

Technically, it can be argued that he's already dead. I mean, he's just a skeleton chillin' there, and he never moves until you hop down from Tomb of Giants for the boss fight.

Interesting to note is that the ever lasting dragon and the man-serpents has a boss-like fade-way.
They may of been killable before till Fromsoft chose to make them unkillable so they didn’t remove those animations

And with that sound, the eternal dragon was probably a boss at one point.

That's what I was thinking. One of many things that may have originally had a much bigger part in the game.
Im guessing then its tail weapon was a leftover they decided not to remove.

Maybe they at one point intended for it to be like the Ancient Dragon in Dark Souls 2, making it an optional boss.
