Sometimes I still have the previous video's screenshot loaded when I'm making thumbnails for the new video, so this ended up being an amusing product of the overlap.

I'm dipping into an old theory I've had for a long time. Priscilla is a fairly unique entity, and the specifics of what makes her unique apparently also makes her quite dangerous. What can we assume about her, based on those that fear her?

Cats haven't appeared quite as often as dogs across the Souls series, but there are still quite a few of them, and in a variety of roles. Let's take a look at the history of FromSoftware's cats from Demon's Souls to Elden Ring.

A somewhat interesting thing that is kind of impossible to notice in regular gameplay is how they put distinct breathing audio on most enemies. It can be kind of different from what you'd expect based on their other audio sometimes.

Some alternate versions of existing maps have survived in the form of leftover collision data, providing at least some picture of other ways they may have been structured. There are some interesting connections, like different routes to Consecrated Snowfield and possibly Mohgwyn.

I liked how this shot turned out, there are a bunch of little tricks it relied on that came together in a fun way.

The Omenkillers are one of Elden Ring's most needlessly cruel factions, choosing to seek out those who are already suffering and force them to suffer even more. Their design is a little unusual, and there may be some hidden elements to it too.

Dark Souls II took a lot of risks.

The Erdtree stands in defiance of any real world biology or physics, as any real tree should have collapsed under its own weight long before it got that tall. But still, it seems it's not entirely immune to gravity, as time has taken its toll on it.

Thinking about the concept art of Shira versus ingame Shira. It makes me wonder how often they have fully conceptualized faces for characters and then are left doing their best to capture them with the character creator. Shira sadly seems to have lost a bit in the conversion.

I still wonder if Alva and Zullie were ever planned to be real NPCs and ended up victims of Dark Souls II's development troubles, or if they were always just going to be elusive characters only alluded to in the item descriptions.
