That first boss is definitely a knight from Elden ring
cleanrot knight for sure
Between the armor, colors, banner, and peg leg, I'd say there's a chance he was used for or inspired Niall
@@markthomas7484 definetly
Which is crazy to think about because they were planning for it years before
In regular BloodBorne in Cainhurst castle there's a ton of statues of knights on horseback in the stairway to Annalise but their all missing one leg, perhaps there's some connection between the statues and this knight.
Maybe Cainhurst Castle was meant to have two bosses. Logarius and that knight. The horse seemed very reminiscent of the skeletal horses that pulled the carriage to Cainhurst, but maybe they scrapped it because they didn't know how to incorporate him and felt the area wasn't large enough for two bosses? Or maybe the knight was meant to drop another chalice, being an optional boss. Last theory that I'm tossing out is that perhaps it was meant to be Logarius at first, but then they decided to change his mode, hence all the missing textures. There's a plethora of ideas.
Well going with my statue connection I'm thinking he was meant to either be a hunters nightmare boss in some scrapped area or a chalice dungeon boss. My idea is that at some point in Cainhursts past this one legged horseman did something for the royal family either giving them the tainted blood stolen from Byrgenwerth or simply leading a raid into the chalice dungeons and they considered what he did so great they honored him with all those statues. I'm more leaning to him being a early cut chalice dungeon boss since in the chalice dungeons there's still signs of a conflict with some order of knights due to some levels having empty suits of armor and swords strewn about which clearly aren't Pthumerian in origin, and Cainhurst is the only group that has knights and possible knowledge of the chalice dungeons.
I don't know maybe I'm just grabbing at straws.
No, you guys are completely leaving out the fact that the beasthood infection starts in the right leg. Read the description of the old hunter trousers. When someone gets infected, their right leg is the first thing to start showing signs, so it is often amputated. It's not exclusive to this unused knight boss.
Actually, it's implied that it was superstition. The Old Hunters outfit set is very outdated and if you read the gloves, "Old Hunter gauntlets made of brass to protect their weapon-bearing hands. At the time, some hunters believed that certain metals would guard off beast blood. On a night of the hunt, it is no wonder that some resort to superstition." The description for the trousers said it was a widespread belief, but said nothing about it being true. So you're right that it was something it was believed, but nothing else in the game confirms or hints that the infection actually started in the right leg outside hunter superstition.
Maybe some hunters (and Cainhurst knights) believed so firmly in the "right leg infection" that they would get it amputated as soon as they got any suspicious looking wound. Or maybe it was just this one great knight that lost it and all those statues are in his honour.
It’s also important to note that the peg leg could be due to him cutting his own leg off as it was believe the scourge crept up the right leg
This Therorie makes alot of sense too. Cause if you inject blood, you stich the vial into your right leg.
It's because of the flow of blood. Left arm, left leg, right leg, right arm, heart. I'm dumbing it down 10fold but you get the idea.
The knight could have been originally intended for Cainhurst. There is definitely a Cainhurst vibe to him in my opinion.
Thats exactly what I was thinking,maybe he returns to the castle and sees the king dead he gets into a rage and fights the Hunter at least,making him kinda-ish a secret boss
The First one seems like an nameless King BB version
Der Kleine Todes Schatten von nebenan Ont you mean Ornstein?
You mean " a nameless king"
yes
No the Nameless king from D3
also true!
The first boss maybe it is possible it was supposed to be possible cainhurst champion?
Scorched knight Imagine u enter Cainhurst and there is a cutscene,u hear the horses feet walking in the snow slowly..
Probably a loyal follower of the queen. Maybe just a regular strong enemy because martyr logarius is the boss
RaXZ0RR that would be boss!
3 days in the sun possibly
Wow, thats some interesting theory there buddy, it fits perfect to the area.
The knight was probably a chalice dungeon boss because of the dead crusaders on the floors.
Blueguy This seems to be the most interesting idea. Specially considering that the dead crusaders are from Cainhurst - and the trinkets & objects are from Cainhurst as well - and right before Annalise, we see horse mounted knights.
So maybe it'd be sort of "Cainhurst's Last Remnant" that became undead inside the dungeons or something.
We see horse mounted Knights MISSING legs!
Sanadsk get on this. These people are on to something.
That's where a lot of the content cut from main game ended up. I'm glad BB didn't have knights in the regular game.
Lmao the slug princess' toenails are painted pink, never change Miyazaki.
There are several Knight statues in Cainhurst on horseback which are missing the right leg, just like the first boss. They are mostly located in queen Annalise throne room.
fromsoft sure loves some blind chicks
Says a lot about Miyazaki.
They're very handy LMAO
They're the easiest to fuck.
miyazaki i like my women how i like my player community blind and helpless
Who doesn't
Maybe the knight was intended as a boss at Cainhurst? His armor looks like a trumped up version of the Cainhurst set, and that huge dent could have been sustained by taking a Logarius Wheel to the chest. Maybe you were supposed to fight him to get to Annalise instead of Logarius, and he was meant to be the last Cainhurst Knight. It's possible that Cainhurst looked slightly different, and that you had to go through a courtyard to access Annalise where you'd fight him first on horseback and then on foot. That's just my theory, anyways.
I think we could see him with his horse as a boss in Elden Ring. Since it has horseback riding, it would make a lot of sense.
The Slug Princess really looks like an early concept of Mother Rosaria to me
Bloodborne is my ps4 favorite game... i was so amazed by the lore and the misteries everyone was trying to figure when it got released was simply fantastic made me even more motivated to explore more and more.. once ppl completed and didnt found nothing more made me feel like "oh... i wanted to see more cool stuff" years have passed and now watching your videos made me really happy to know there are more hidden things... Thanks alot for this! You got my follow from now on! 😁
Cant wait for more, cheers.
Bloofa cool send me link pls 😁
Looking back this first boss looks like it's from elden ring
I think the first boss was the original design for Ludwig! His sword absolutely resembles Ludwig's Holy Blade, and even his leg looks like a horses leg to me. Maybe this was him before he was cursed? I'm almost certain this is Ludwig, though. Either an early design or this was supposed to be what he looked like originally.
More like the Cainhurst Statues of Knights riding horses, and missing a leg.
Yes, perhaps. Ludwig and his horse, before they became fused together as the abomination we see in the Hunter's Nightmare.
I agree. Seems more likely than a random super duper cainhurst mega-knight
Ludwig is a part of the healing church. He wouldn't wear armor. Which armor us basically only found as a Cainhurst member.
Spin It Like A Chicken i actually buy that it could have been an early idea for the Ludwig fight scrapped before the whole armor/no armor stuff was sorted out in the lore. I mean Ludwig is the only horse like creature thing fought in the game to my knowledge, don't have a PS4 yet :( so I could be wrong. That alone is kind of a big deal as jonjonmcjonjon pointed out about Ludwig and his horse possibly fusing into the abomination that you fight in the nightmare, resulting in the only horse like beast in the game.
It could also have been a Cainhurst Knight as well, but we don't know when the horse/knight combo was scrapped exactly. Could it have been either an early Ludwig or a Cainhurst Knight, yes, but it could also have been something completely unrelated to either of those ideas as well. We just don't know exactly due to the nature of cut content.
It's also possible that this could have been BOTH an early Ludwig and a Cainhurst Knight before finally being cut completely as not to waste a good idea early on.
Maybe the knight was suppose to be some kind of queen Annalise's defender? The symbol of dragon remembers me the "canonic" vampire - Vlad III, also known as Dracul(a) for his membership in the Dragon's order and dragon-look blazor
Orbis Vae. Or maybe he was originally an early design of Martyr Logarius.
Cainhust elite mounted knight mayhap?
Orbis Vae Flattering.
calvin allemand Given Reiterpallash basically translates to The Rider's Sword (in real life, it was an Austrian Calvary sword) wouldn't surprise me Cainhurst would have a mounted knight culture.
I'm pretty sure the "lava creatures" are unused Chalice Dungeon bosses. There are the Watchdog and the Keeper that are fire-related bosses, Watchdog in particular; is it possible that these enemies were part of a Lava-type Chalice dungeon or something? I would love to explore that.
"Just look at how epic does this unused horse look like" - Skwisgaar Skwigelf
These look more Dark Souls like, glad they were cut but I wish the first boss and horse would show up in Dark Souls 3.
Joao Bojan first boss is literally Slave Knight Gael. Beard out of helmet, giant gash in chest, big cape... same game engine, so they used him as Gael
Come on does nobody else see the resemblances to Dark Souls 3 bosses, which came out after Bloodborne?
Jordan Holt Yeah, minus the Slug Princess, everything screams Souls.
One could argue that the knight could fit in an earlier era of the BB universe.
Joao Bojan The design is reminiscent of Gael, but the mechanics (with the horse) is totally where Nameless King gets it from.
callmeinstead I belive that it was a prototype Nameless King fight in the structure (the fight would play out like NK), just with a much less badass mount.
Hm.. The NPC could be related to the Slug Women before the Orphan of Kos. Maybe a woman from the Fishing Hamlet, who, instead of worshipping Kos, tries to understand it/her?
The horse's mane reminds me a lot of the Nameless King from DaS3, who was also intimately linked with dragons. Indeed, all of the cut content showed so far seems to fit more into the world of Dark Souls than it does Bloodborne, minus perhaps the Slug Princess.
Great video once again man, I'm eating this cut Bloodborne stuff up with a spoon! Looking forward to more!
Funny how now anyone who reading this now, we have this now, in Elden Ring proving they truly use ideas from past cut content in other games
The first one looks kinda like Commander O'Neil from Elden Ring... You know... Knight with only one leg and a spear...
the sword looks like the lothric knight ultra great sword
I think they didnt used some models because was looking so much like dark souls
The slug princess may be some 3D model of Ebrietas or Kos before they became...those things
I dont think every single Great One is intended to once have been human. Ebrietas itself is the reason people started using the blood of great ones thus leading to mass mutations after it was found and brought back from the underground after they apparently gained the Insight to see it after touching its chalice.
The only Great Ones in the story that were formerly human I think were Rom and your own character if you get the umbilical chord ending.
Most Great Ones were never originally human. Ebrietas and Kos were just there. Great Ones from birth. The only people I can recall as ever being human before ascending to a Great One is Rom and the player, if they kill the Moon Presence. I think the slug princess was just some unused NPC that could've been located towards the end of the Old Hunters since that's where we start seeing more of the slug women
Thanks for the great video! I love discovering things like this in games, especially Bloodborne! Hope there's more! ^-^
that sword is like the moonsword but without the shiny stuff
Tryhan Ternoc looks kinda like the one from ds1
yep
Hmmmm. I think it looks like the UGS the Lothric Knights wield in DS3
It seems like an effigy of the sword; yu can se the material for outlined in the centre and the outer part, or the blade, is the "shiny stuff"
Damn been waiting for this for so long
"Just how epic does this unused horse look like!" Close enough, bro. Another great vid!
I think this boss fits DS3 much more than BB.
Debilinside The first boss could fit cainhurst castle and the fire monster could fit in the chalice dungeons
Bloodborne was initially Demon Souls 2, so maybe those models were from that era.
The sword looks a bit like the Lothric Knight Greatsword
Gravedigger exactly what I was thinking gravey :3
Gravedigger Also fairly resembles a silver, more detailed Drakekeeper straight sword from DS2.
It's amazing to see these concepts being brought into elden ring these days, it's a shame you no longer make cut content videos
We never got that knight boss, but their legacy, perhaps in more ways than one, lived on via a certain DSIII boss. It all worked out in the end, kinda. My mind blew when I realized the snake-slug meaning in the game long ago, but then I got mad because there's like no toad representation in the game. Perhaps there's something subtle somewhere, but there is oil at least.
The slug woman makes me think of Rosaria in DS3 and her followers
Sorry, which Dark Souls 3 boss are you referring to? As much as I try, I just can't remember any boss that looked like that knight.
alessio messersì The gigantic wound on its gut is somewhat similar to Gael's
I mean the Nameless King. I didn't want to potentially spoil anyone. Heheh
The sword you recognized is shaped like the DaS/DaS3 Moonlight Sword, the peg-legged knight has to be Gehrman; he's the oldest hunter, so perhaps at some point his era and the inception of the hunt was set further back in time? And the slug princess may have been a first pass at Ebrietas? I can def imagine the Choir chaining her up beneath the Grand Cathedral and bleeding her dry.
Holy fuck. You are amamzing dude. If it werent for you we would ve never seen this stuff as none of this is the artbook. Amamzing work and cant wait for the next one.
seeing all alot of this cut content now you really get to see a lot of prototypes that made it into ds3 and ER
Also, that slug woman is the Maiden in Black. The fact that Gascoigne used to say Umbasa makes me think once upon a time this game was a Demon's Souls 2 direct sequel.
Would explain the Knight as well.. since, outside of Cainhurt (and they aren't very knightly, but more royal), there are only Knights in the Dungeons.. which are from the "past".
Lol she's not the maiden in black
The sword with the knight boss, guy is Lothric Knight Greatsword. Compare the two and see!
Theory: Lothric, were the royal bloodline of dark souls 3. Vilebloods with their huge castle and whatnot are quite close to royalty. Perharps the guy was some sort of royal aegis? Kinda lile Velstadt.
The first boss..... missing leg, riding a horse, eastern themed armor, i think he is the King/Champion of Cainhurst or at least the on who brought the eastern weapons to Yharnarm.( like Rakuyo and Chikage, there share even the gold metal and red cloth )
There are a few mentions in game of knights, and he looks really completed. Crimson red with metal armor "This paper-thin silver armor is said to deflect blood of ill-intent, and is what allows the royal guards to capture prey for their beloved Queen, so that one day, she may bear a Child of Blood" and "The Cainhurst way is a mix of nostalgia and bombast. They take great pride even in the blood-stained corpses of beasts that they leave behind. confident that they will stand as examples of decadent art" from the Cainhurst sets. Beast horses are in game to. (in/bevor Cainhurst)
Queen annalise herself is guardet by statues of knights on horse whit missing leg and halberd.
"Visitor… I claim no subjects, but here lieth Our throne. Kneel afore us… "
"We await thy return... This chamber was made not for one alone... For the honour of Cainhurst."
sry for bad english.
Eh, the only thing "eastern" about his armor are the bands of red fabric. He's also using a halberd, a straight sword (or short sword) and a battle axe. His armor seems to be based off medieval European jousting armor, but with some stylistic flairs that might slightly reflect the eastern sensibilities of the game designers (rather than an intentional Japanese thematic influence).
i think his armor is a mix of medieval knight on horse with elements of a samurai. Mix of nostalgia and bombast, his helmet and shoulders look like ( color / aesthetic ) the chikage in my opinion. And that he looks so beaten up makes sense to, because he most likely fought the Executioners for so long. Maby the big crush in his chest is from a Executioner wheel. I think he has to do somthing with Cainhurst, he has to mutch conection to the area and Cainhurst in itself is strange and had most likely a lot of stuff cut before launch. I wonder what is still in the base game that no one found.
Yeah, after looking at it again it definitely looks like a character designed for Cainhurst. The weird face-like design on the pauldrons also kinda remind me of samurai masks.
yeah its somthing about him thats looks noble and evil , most likely a 2 phase boss. First horse and helberd and second on 1 foot and with axe and sword. (Nameles King has to be the a copycat) The weapons have gems and gold on them what speaks for Cainhurst. Maby a early Rakuyo with axe and sword ^^
The sword is also very similar to the Moonlightsword in shape.
I have to play tomorrow again but i am very sure Cainhurst has a Dragon on there Family Crest. And the helmet looks kind like the Big Brother of the Yahar'Gul helmet.
Keep it up!
As a huge bb fan this is so exciting to watch damn👌
My idea for the golden knight boss would be:
1st phase: The knight riding on the horse charges around the arena and attacks with the halberd, maybe the horse has some attacks as well like the chariot boss in ds2
After the health bar is depleted, a cutscene plays in which the horse dies , the knight tosses away the halberd and pulls out the sword and axe
I don't know how the second phase could go, but there are many interesting ways to do it
Random Nier: Automata and Overwatch enthusiast I was gonna say the same thing :)
You mean its basiclly nameless king? But i think more reversed. First phase he will 1v1 with the hunter. Then suddenly the horse come and starting to beat the shit out of you
The Android from Aiur i
Awesome job. I hope we get Laurence's cut content next, he's a really interesting character
Thanks for a great video! You are my hero :0) The armored man actually makes sense. Remember those armor pieces in Dungeons? He could have been one of knight-prospectors. Maybe the story of Hunters and the Church lasts much far on the past then we thought. Or dungeon-looting was started by Cainhurst. I think the truth is somewhere between, as the guy looks ancient, but he has a pegleg like Old Hunters. The egg must have been a Forbidden Woods or Dungeons enemy. I can see it as a kind of trap or something
Keep up the good work!
Maybe the screamer would run away from you while screaming to attract enemies.
Probably those enemies were planned for scrapped chalice dungeon ideas that never came to be, like a lava chalice or something.
Great video! Very interesting
Holy shit looking back, this has so much ideas dispersed into so many knights in elden ring lmao
That knight looks fucking awesome, I'd buy the game if you could get his armor.
Nice touch to add the Dragon Ball Super theme 👌🏻
I bet the demons and fire mobs he mentioned here and in the last episode were from an early concept for old yahrnam where it might have still been burning when you went there but when they made it ashen and not on fire anymore they removed all the fire creatures for it
True. And all those fire bosses in the chalice dungeons look like they belong to some dlc or area they scrapped. A shame really as it would ve been hella cool unearth all these secrets during the story and not just random bosses in the dungeons.
Now that Elden Ring is out, The Golden Knight seems like a prototype Commander Niall.
Late to the party but I was thinking the same thing! Like a combo of the Cleanrot Knights and Niall
My thought is that the knight was cut because they decided to develop him more until he became the Nameless King from DS3.
nah, more ikely e became a lothric knight, but then they would've had to switch the horse for a wyvern, but that would've been way too similar to the much more important nk... or at least that's my idea.
I tried to give you some support on Twitter, but it seems like Twitter itself hates me. Anyway, keep it up! I can't wait to see more and more content, just don't leave your exams behind.
The screamer looks like an early version of the Wandering Nightmare(crystal lizard-type enemy). The dude in armor has what looks like the Moonlight Greatsword, which would suggest Ludwig, but also the Armor suggests Cainhurst and the Pthumerians. The slug lady is probably an early version of the slug ladies in the DLC.
The screamer egg thing may have been an early idea to have something that when aggroed would wake up sleeping mobs like we had in dks3
The first one would likely be in the chalice dungeon as he is wearing armour, which was ditched after those times in favor of the faster lighter types to combat the beasts
Finally you back!
The sword looks like benharts moonlight sword from dks2 minus the blue.
Good video! Please part 3
Old medieval boss is the reason for the horse boss's one invisible attack which is actually the medieval boss attacking with spear. But medieval boss isn't rendered so its invisible .
The sword looks like the moonlight greatsword without the greeny glowing stuff for me.
I could totally see like, that first one being a fight where you knock him off his horse in some super violent way and maybe that’s what gives him that huge gash in his armor, and from being knocked off his halberd is lost so he whips out that axe and sword to fight you one on one. That would’ve been super cool!
From Softwares take on a facehugger egg in a Cthulhu based universe with werewolves inside nightmares in a game heavily inspired by the Macabre, cosmic, H.P. Lovecraft and Berserk elements... damn... just damn.
i think the egg might have been an early concept for their crystal lizard but they decieded to go with a scampering beast instead. i could see us breaking open eggs for blood shards and its the only reason i could think why its AI tuns away.
The first model looks like something out of Elden Ring.
The dragon knight and horse beast do look like they belong together for sure, either by him riding the horse or it be a boss before a boss. Imagine this being part of another off shoot area walled away like cainhurst, contain a covenant to dragon beasts or to the like.
The egg is a heavy Berserk reference. In Berserk, someone used a behelit and became a giant behelit- those screaming egg things that inspired red eye orbs- and they eventually hatched Griffith. Basically the bad guy.
That sword looks like the Lothric Ultra Greatsword from DS3
The first one may be a boss fight from the chalice dungeons, as there are tons of suits of medieval armor there. Maybe a remnant of the first who ventured beneath yahrnam?
The sword looks similar to the nameless king sword spear from some of the design i believe and the knight on horseback probably influenced the nameless king fight quite a bit
the boss looks dope and could have had a unique moveset and strategy. Gives off vibes that he would cast hexes/arcane. That last enemy would fit in well in one of the nightmares
They all look and sound like Chalice Dungeon exclusives. Especially with all the fire effects. That Knight is probably from the Chalice Dungeon too, giving his older time period attire compared to Bloodborne's time period.
LordDoom10
Cainhurst Castle.
The horse looks similar to the mad ones present in Hemwick, which is close to Cainhurst which can explain its presence and the emblem on its cloth. Possibly a dead horse reanimated to be mad in Hemwick.
The knight looks like it belongs to before the healing church was a thing when they were still going into the chalice dungeons in armour looking for blood. The peg leg is a symbol of dominance of the dream, gehrman had it and the player character gets it if they are enslaved, even though it functionally does nothing as gehrman moved more or less normally.So the knight could be an early slave to the moon presence after going into the chalice dungeons and finding the old blood, could be an outdated concept for a pthumerian, or could be a very early member of Cainhurst when the first dungeon crawling happened.
Eithrr way the horse and knight may be related in lore but they wouldn't be in the same place in gameplay. Even then the horse could be much younger to the knight as the mad ones or things like that came after yharnam got blood whereas the knight existed before.
The cut content in these games are always the most heartbreaking
I heard somewhere that BB was originally supposed to be Demons Souls 2, but was scrapped and turned into BB, so the Gold Knight would actually make sense in that sense. It could have been an early concept for Gehrman, back when it was still being designed as a Demon Souls sequel. Since having less armor was an emphasis in Bloodborne, they ditched the armor, but kept the long weapon(Gehrman's Burial Blade) and the peg leg ideas intact.
now looking back at it this might be a prototype of the sekiro boss gyoubu oniwa. of course now its style was completely revamped but the idea of a boss with a
halberd on a horse is still quite similar. i wish there would be animations so you could see if they kinda line up with the sekiro boss.
I think the first boss might have truly been one of the earliest hunters.
There's some armour description in the game that says the earliest warriors against the beasts used plated armour for protection but it only slowed them down in the end, since the monsters were just too huge.
And, I mean... His chestplate is absolutely wrecked...
That knight, in my opinion, is Ludwig, and the horse is the one he was merged into after he found the Holy Moonlight Sword. It fits with the sword (but it's the Holy Blade, not the Moonlight Sword). The pegged leg fits because he could have possibly been around while Gehrman was in his prime, and it was something all of the Old Hunters believed (that the scourge of the beast crept up the right leg).
The dragon on the head of the knight tells me this knight was based on jousting knights in tournaments. I've seen a lot of those crest like things but not on battle ready armors it's more just decoration to represent a person in the joust. That crest with the long weapon tell me he probably rode the horse much like the nameless king but maybe it was just to hard to program or didn't fit the theme (maybe it was in cainhurst because they kind of had knight armor)
The first one is a damn good looking boss. It's a shame he wasn't in the full game. Awesome video.
Interesting notes on the knight and horse:
The Horse has multiple eyes, if you look closely. Common theme in Bloodborne, I know, but I think it's a neat detail.
The Knight's helmet also has a beak - the top half of it's visor, whatever it's called, is curved to look like a beak.
It seems to be kind of a mess of all the different parts of Bloodborne. The feather-looking horse and the beak are bird motifs, associated with the Hunters of Hunters like Eileen, the Knight look is pretty Cainhurst, the eyes on the horse and general diseased look of it is very Yharnam. Like someone walked through the entirety of the Bloodborne world and just picked up everything along the way - not sure how the dragons on the cape or helmet fit though, I don't really recall any dragon imagery in Bloodborne, except Cainhurst's insignia I think.
Considering that (I'm pretty sure) this is only files ripped from the main disc, I would say the Slug Princess is one of the slug women from the Fishing Hamlet, but likely one that was more important than the others and was thus taken as a prisoner by the church. She could've then had dialogue that alluded to the coming DLC and maybe adding more to the link between Kos and Rom. A great place to hide her would've been in the basement of Byrgenwerth where that locked trapped door would lead to.
The egg is probably a mandragora, the soundfile is likely to be some sort of high pitch scream that in game should have induce frenzy
I think it may be related to castle cainhust where in the throne room leading to analise you see the horsemen statues that also have an amputed leg as the curse was said to start on the right leg. I think the Knight and the horse were one item.
That first one is just an Ornstein reference, like every souls game past 2 has had, like the old dragonslayer in 2 and the dragonslayer armor in 3, due to the red plume on the back of his helmet, his weapon of a spear, the motiff of a dragon on the top of his helmet etc, and it's very likely he would have been in cainhurst due to most of the statues of mounted horsemen in front of analise's chamber missing their right leg just like the knight is
That egg reminds of "the egg of the new world" from berserk. Makes sense considering berserk was a big inspiration for the soul series.
those S's are really sharp on the ears, I recommend using a de-esser with your audio to make it less grating
Sanadsk, phenominal work with the extraction. I just wanted to point out two things about the knight character. the first is that Dark Souls III had the Nameless King boss, which could be seen as something similar to what this horse/knight boss could've been. Also the sword is closely reminiscent of the sword of Artorious from Dark Souls 1
The mounted knight's sword looks identical to the lothric knight greatsword
haha yeah i thought the same.. i loved that model i ds3!
Yep
XsigmaZ One of the coolest looking swords, I'd use it if I didn't hate the UGS category.
Well kinda feel the same.. when i started playing ds and bb, I always went for big weapons then i discovered how nimble and awesome you moved with a light sword like the longsword. But still if i go for any UGS i went for that one.. because it didnt have that strange 2handed vertical slash forward then backwards... i really really fucking hated that in ds 3.. i mean fine on 1 or 2weapon.. but every single UGS almost.. ofc you could 1 hand and get the horisontal. But still if you go for that typ of weapon you dont want to 1 hand if it isnt absolutely nessecary :P maybe its just me and overthinking it :P but i want to feel like gatsu!!
it looks more like ds1 moonlight greatsword
Maybe the fire beast were to be from Old Yharnam when they burned it
That horse and knight look like what Martyr Logarius could have been, or maybe a second boss in a different section of Cainhurst. Either way, they look terrifying and badass and I love it
Yup, that sword looks an awful lot like the old Moonlight of Kings Field, meaning that the big pegleg and horsie are a primordial concept for Ludwig
Lol love how u put the Naruto music for the slug chic
My thoughts on the Knight/horse: I think it was a high concept fight that was scrapped for being too hard to implement. I believe it was a multi phase brawl, where phase one had you take on the horse and Knight separately, then phase two had the Knight hop on the horse, and you have to cut down the horse before finishing off the Knight in phase 3. Conceptually I think it led into a lot of the incredibly ornate and complex phase changes of Sekiro
The 1st one looks like early concepts for the horseback boss in the sekiro shadows die twice reveal trailer.
With the golden knight, as soon as i saw the helmet i figured he was a cavalry leader/general since he actually had a horse on the helmet. This was something normal in medieval times, so when the horse popped up I wasn't surprised.
You have good justifications for it so i wanted to say there's another reason for it
The horse knight guy is totally in Sekiro now. Lol
The egg could be an enemy like the Vagrants, they would teleport an run away, spawning by dropping items on the ground and such.
