It took me a moment to realise you swapped the invisible NPC with the Doll’s model and I thought that From had just used an invisible Doll to do that attack.
It is fairly neat but stuff like this is why Bloodborne (and the souls series in general) has such mad framerate dips. Obviously not this one thing, but shortcuts like this are all over the place. But hey it gets my favourite game series made in a decent time frame so fair play to them!

@@matej3276 I was gonna say that 😂 Djura was already a menace with the gatling gun in Old Yharnam, with it moving around like a cart/car, he'd be a double menace, unless someone hits him with the blue shell!
That specific winter latern killed me twice, after slogging through poison, and dying multiple times by those damn rock throwers. It's when I learned the meaning of frenzy, I nearly succumbed to that status effect irl.
I don't believe there's a single bloodborne player who didn't cower away in fear hearing there's a winter lantern nearby Especially the ones in the old hunter DLC, you know what I'm talking about
@@TheStraightestWhitest Or, you could not behave like an enraged ape at others over being bad at a video game and just visceral attack the enemies to get i-frames to avoid the damage.
This is actually really cool to find out the secrets behind some of their game development. If From needed to switch an attack or tweak something, just replace the 2nd model. Thank you for sharing this.
This enemy is brilliant, it looks absolutely horrifying......and the way to beat is to literally face your fears and stand there in front of it, waiting for a last second parry
My favorite part of Zullie's videos (besides the lore) is seeing the cool tricks developers use to do... well, exactly this! Bringing really basic mechanics together to make something unique! I never really thought about how Winter Lanterns worked from a design standpoint, it's surprisingly intricate for something that appears to be so straightforward! Restrictions really DO breed creativity, especially in visual media! I LOVE to see it in action!
"Mergo" is also an invisible NPC above the Pthumerian Queen in her boss fight, right? It's a neat trick, especially when used for a literally formless entity (or at least its consciousness).
Honestly, i love enemies like this. I love having something to make me panic a little bit, something i cant just roll around and dps it into the dirt, something that just keeps me on edge. I get why most people hate them, but to me, its one of the few enemies throughout soulsbourne whos bite is just as bad as it bark.
This is amazing! I didn’t know this was even possible! (I also know nothing about this technical stuff, i’m still struggling with email after all) i like that the winter lantern is paired with the doll though XD it made it so cute ….the email comment i made is even sadder with the information that i’m only 23… maybe there’s a reason i only really get along with people way older than me
I still remember the first time I saw that thing. "Oh, I've never seen that enemy before, but I have full health I'm sure I can kill it without risking my echoes" But then I learned that Winter Lanterns, for all practical purposes, are unkillable.
That's just weird. I mean, not to ruin your dream, but you're speaking of someone, who you don't even know the name or face of. I mean, heads up to Zullie, because otherwise it would be disturbing and creepy.
To anyone who has trouble with these things: Walk right up to them and wait for them to raise their arms for the grab attack. Shoot them on the frame just before they bring their arms back down, then wait like half a second before you visceral. If you do it right, the frenzy will proc while you're still in the visceral animation, so you won't take any damage. Knowing this makes them slightly less scary to fight. It's risky though because if you miss the parry you're absolutely going to die
I used to notice it when I did my first playthrough and other characters. But after a time you just ignore it. The sound is more piercing than the blood spears.
One of the best sound tracks in FromSofts entire library. I love Yuka Kitamura but Tsukasa Saitoh (Kings Field IV, Bloodborne-Cleric Beast, Bloodstarved Beast, the First Hunter, DS3-Champion Gundyr) is a legend. I really hope they give him work in Elden Ring.
head mounted turret looks hilarious. also makes me curious about the unused enemy/boss gargoyle. i dont know of any From game outside of Bloodborne having this kind of double NPC thing, so i wonder how far they were to go with that thing before cutting it.
Hey Zullie, i love your videos. I know this is a lot of tedious work, but if you have the time do you think you could organize your channel into seperate playlists for each game? I would love to bingewatch that. Thanks for the continuous uploads
I'm pretty sure every single game engine ever can do this, actually. We've been able to do this since at Least Half-Life (It's how the tram system in the game works: the whole think is the "hat" of an invisible NPC) Fromsoft's just one of the only game developers that still actually Tries to lighten the harddrive space and loading times on their games (With mixed results originally, because Bloodborne is fucking humongous and extremely detailed graphically as a game). When digital media and servers became a thing, devs kinda started getting really damn lazy in terms of making their code in any way efficiently sized or coded. Why bother, we can just put the "Server access" key on the CD we sell to the players and keep the REST of the game on this server they can download it from? That way we don't HAVE to be efficient so the game could fit on a disc, who cares if the game takes up 20 GB for no justifiable reason?" Fromsoft still makes the effort to lighten the load on your PC or console.
In lore I assume it drew the madness out of you so violently it erupts as bloody spears. In game I assumed it was a radius that checked every tic for line of sight. I didn’t expect a projectile.
The Dark Souls 3 jailer's attack is an invisible projectile as well as far as I am aware. I don't know the intricacies of it, but someone found that out a while ago.
That's actually crazy. Seeing the large emissary's hanging off the smaller ones heads and the Amygdala floating on The One Reborn. That is a very interesting little look into game design tactics. I would never think invisible NPCs were implemented for this kind of thing but it is a pretty simple idea I suppose.
So the frenzy spears are actually calculated as a projectile? That’s weird since the animation looks a lot more like them bursting from within, formed from the hunter’s own blood as Frenzy causes it to go wild. I’ve had so many arguments that no, it’s not a projectile, specifically because it doesn’t actually fly to hit you it just explodes from within you.
It's not a projectile you can dodge because it's hitscan with pinpoint accuracy, that's also why in the nightmare of mensis your able to hide behind cover and not get hit by it ( provided you know where it's coming from).
This is hilarious, I remember using an almost identical trick back when I used to make custom Warcraft 3 maps. I'd attach an invisible unit over another unit to provide "passive fire". It was...buggy and lagged the game for anyone with anything other than top end computers. But I'm delighted to see From using my crappy amateur map editor tricks as a kid, and seeing it actually work so well unlike when I tried it. (for the record I was making a LOTR map and I tried to give mammoths a howdah with archers firing from it's back while it moved around)
I hated these NPCs so much that I created an outfit with the exact frenzy resistance needed for the frenzy bar to fill during the visceral attack animation. (Too much resistance and you take the hit after the animation is over.)
I absolutely love the Winter Lanterns. Their hymn is very ominous in a berserk kind of way. Like the kind of soundtrack that would play whenever someone interacts with a behelith to summon The God Hand
After so many years I found out, that these winter lantern things have a literal gatling gun with madness projectiles on their head? This game never stops to amaze me.

It's not a projectile you can dodge because it's hitscan with pinpoint accuracy, that's also why in the nightmare of mensis your able to hide behind cover and not get hit by it ( provided you know where it's coming from).
Zullie is really killing it with daily content
This is hilarious, I remember using an almost identical trick back when I used to make custom Warcraft 3 maps. I'd attach an invisible unit over another unit to provide "passive fire". It was...buggy and lagged the game for anyone with anything other than top end computers. But I'm delighted to see From using my crappy amateur map editor tricks as a kid, and seeing it actually work so well unlike when I tried it. (for the record I was making a LOTR map and I tried to give mammoths a howdah with archers firing from it's back while it moved around)
The One Reborn with an Amygdala as its top torso is a mighty fucking terrifying sight
That's your most cursed video yet!
!FRENZY!
Grant us invisible turrets on top of our heads, grant us invisible turrets on top of our heads.
I hated these NPCs so much that I created an outfit with the exact frenzy resistance needed for the frenzy bar to fill during the visceral attack animation. (Too much resistance and you take the hit after the animation is over.)
Gatling Winter Lanter isn’t real, it can’t hurt you.
Gatling Winter Lantern: So anyway, I started blasting.
Winter Lantern with a gatling head is the lovecraftian aquivalent of an AC130
I absolutely love the Winter Lanterns. Their hymn is very ominous in a berserk kind of way. Like the kind of soundtrack that would play whenever someone interacts with a behelith to summon The God Hand
This video has some of the most cursed footage i’ve seen
the huge dancing mushroom men on top of the other guys is my favorite
As if these guys needed to be any more terrifying. The unseen of the unseen of the unseen.
That Amygdala chilling on the head of The One Reborn is the funniest thing
God I wish my PS4 were still alive. Great video!
After so many years I found out, that these winter lantern things have a literal gatling gun with madness projectiles on their head? This game never stops to amaze me.
I wasn't expecting the Doll to show up there. Very unexpected and very funny.
