    To help demonstrate the fact it switches between its two swords, I colored one red and one blue, so you can see the moment it swaps between them when it attacks. I didn't realize I was making them the color of the standard Switch joycons until I loaded it ingame though.

      Personally I actually believe the gloam eyed knight name isnt a leftover. My opinion on how the law works out is actually that once upon a time the true flames of death were comprised of both the deep blue flames of the true putrescent ghost flame that burns the impurities of the body and the bright red and black flames of Destin death that burned the impurities of the Soul reducing both to nothing more than energy and when combined you would get the Twilight purple color many associate with the term gloam...

      @@mdd4296 I think it may have been subtle forshadowing for Consort Radahn. The other half of Miquella just so happens to have a giant dude with a funky horse and no feet working for her. Definitely feels like a hint but I don't think its anything more than that.

    • @lunarazure9969

      @@Auzzymandias It also seems like a bit of pretty heavy symbolism. One of the defining features of Radahn was how much he loved his horse, to the point where he learned gravity magic to ride him and stuck with him even while suffering through the scarlet rot. Miquella is all about abandoning parts of yourself that get in the way of your purpose, and we fight a horseless Consort Radahn.
      Then there's the combo of St. Trina (Miquella's other half who he abandoned), and Putrescent Knight with lots of OG Radahn similarities (lack of feet, deteriorating horse, dual wielding big weapons, ect). Even if they're not lore connected, symbolically it feels like Putrescent Knight is the embodiment of what Radahn had to give up when he was forced into the Consort role.

I didn't fight the one at the bottom of the Caelid Tower until way later on when I was really overleveled for it. The worst one is the fatty down in Volcano Manor. Why did they put that one in a small room with pillars for me to get caught on trying to run from the rolling bs.

      I wish they made him fit more with the level and St. Trina. He really needed to have some sleep attacks to blend in. It's such a weird choice and missed opportunity to finally have the player deal with the sleep status effect. But they just gave us another frost boss for some reason. Why would the level dedicated to sleep enemies / craftables, purple lillies in the boss room, tease of a group of animals sleeping, and St. Trina being A COUPLE FEET away from us, why won't PK have sleep powers in addition to his ghost flame. If it had it, then I think PK would fit quite well.

They both have a silver coloring, flimsy legs requiring the need of a steed to carry them, and both their weapons scale with arcane. Perhaps the original albanaurics were made from leftover putrescence, thus inspiring the hatred towards them from the cuckoos and golden order for "lacking grace."

      As Albinaurics are homunculi that were created, perhaps they required human remains for the transmutation to be successful, similar to Fullmetal Alchemist. Putrescence is the natural birth of life from remains that failed to be burned in Ghostflame, whereas Albinaurics would be the artificial(and likely unintentional) imitation.

    I read somewhere about a working theory about why the Knight has "missing" legs and the horse is slumped back and sagging, which is that the two share a skeleton and the Knight is essentially just "emerging" from the horse in some manner. With the horse's legs looking withered and bent like empty socks, this might strengthen the idea as the Knight is currently using those legs so the "skin" just kinda flops to the ground and is dragged along.
    This can also explain its lack of a skull as the horse retains that part of its skeletal structure.

      I 100% agreed. Before entering the boss room and knowing nothing about PK, I brought a ton of sleep boluses. I was pretty upset lol. I mean, the Stone Fissure level is about reaching down to St. Trina, all the craft able items and enemies have some sleep powers, and right before the boss room there's a bunch of sleeping animals. I was so disappointed that PK wasn't a sleep boss. Plus his arena has purple lilies as well as ST. TRINA being a couple feet away. Why doesn't he have sleep? They kinda sacrificed level design logic for some last minute lore.

      It's usually gameplay reasons, lore-wise im sure the Knight fought the tarnished with sleep, but in-game it would be pretty annoying to get out into a sleep animation with how aggressive it's moveset is. Think about it. If every move induced a small chuck to you as sleep damage. Then it would be frustrating really bad. At least with frostbite you don't have to deal with an animation and can react accordingly. It's like how we know Kratos from God of war wouldn't actually struggle with a chest. There's gameplay reasons for it.

Half of Miquella’s lore in the base game was linked to the eclipse he wanted to use to resurrect Godwyn and Mogh calls himself Mogwyn during his death dialogue which is a mix of their names (Consort Radhan is using Mogh’s body apparently which is why he has the blood flame attacks).

It's nice to see the same trick used for a different purpose.

    I feel the internal name, imo, is done as a parallel between miquella and marika. inplying that ST. trina is the GEQ of Miquella. In the original jp translation, ST. Trina's purple is described as dusk colored, and in japanaese the gloam-eyed queen is described as dusk-eyed queen. St. trina brings death through sleep, the GEQ brought destined death in the age of abundance. Both are caring and maternal and both could be seen as discarded. The GEQ rune is almost identical to marika, implying a connection between the 2, so maybe this is what the geq was to Marika, her other half.

      That seems unlikely.
      First of all Leonard is a brown horse, this horse is light grey.
      Mayby you can excuse that by saying its due to the horse being undead. However its harder to explain how This horse is 3 times bigger than Leonard and isint as Skinny as leonard.
      So as cool as that whould be... its extremely unlikely this is leonard.

    I heard about a theory that says that the boss is not even a human skeleton, but he is the horse skeleton, ripped away from is body, and now being is rider, is more noticeable in the way he moves when he isnt in is horse, he walks in 4 legs, and it looks like that because he has absorbed bodies over time, and given enough time it would look a lot like Nito.

    I feel like one or two people originally started the whole “No Gloam Eyed Queen content” complaints out of a sheer lack of things to criticize. Like, seriously? There are a few good arguments you can make when I comes to critiques and that is the best you can come up with? Now it’s just frustrating to see the droves of people that are hopping on the bandwagon for reason of misunderstanding or ignorance. We all would LIKE for things to have been included in the dlc, but the fact that those things didn’t happen is intentional and not a point of criticism.
    Sorry, I know this isn’t the place for a rant but this has driven me nuts over the months.

    Man, Zullie continues to kill it, I love these insights on how FromSoft builds their games and how they work. I know Zullie has connections/friends/partners that help dig into the code and pull this info out, but the videos are such excellent explainers that are very revealing about video game design. I feel like I should be taking notes for further discussion. Great job.

    Honestly i cant get behind this idea that somehow it was a rewrite.
    I think they had a concept of a “knight” with cool looking eyes and needed a place holder name.
    Considering there is 0 references to the GEQ in the DLC at all i refuse to believe there were any plans for her to begin with.
    Its as simple as that”ooo cool name”

    As a dev myself, turning parts of a character on and off is a very common smoke-and-mirrors trick when an object can be joined to different parts, like the cleaver, or the entire horse in this case. It's the same reason game characters usually pick up an item when it's just off-camera.
    I can only imagine the collective sigh of relief in the office when they saw that cleaver swap happened in one frame just fine.
