Elden Ring's Leyndell trebuchet in the Dark Souls 3 Gamescom 2015 build
Dark Souls 3 walked so Elden Ring could fly

Landon Brown
The name of Lothric reborn in the files was literally "Wings of Darkness"
The Abyss Watchers replaced the Old Wolf of Farron
Dominic Collins
The original Yhorm was different and had a different name.
The Giants inhabitated Anor Londo after the Gods and the descendants abandoned it. Yhorm and Dancer both have a mask looking like Giants face mask
Bentley Perry
Comparison in concept art between the supposed original companion to boss Fron couldn't implement, possibly DS1 protagonist, and Gael
Soul of Cinder here looks shorter and like an embered version of the character seen in the opening
Sebastian Campbell
Here's Irithyll Cathedral boss
Dominic Martinez
>DS3's original vision
I'm forever mad
Grayson Mitchell
Vordt flaming babies? You remember those? They were the first leaked detail from alpha
Apparently related to Yhorm
Another thing we recently discovered is that there's text saying "You can't light up the bonfire. You have no Firekeeper" in Japanese
Considering Untended Graves were (and still are!) connected to the back of Lothric Castle, the olayer would wake up, take the Coiled Sword from The Old King of Lothric (named Gundyr) in a reference to Demonbrandt, and with it reach the Untended Graves to light up the bonfire
This matches Miyazaki's interview of 2015 where he said he wanted Dark Souls 3 world structure to resemble the original more
Joshua Foster
DaS2 was a failed attempt at Elden Ring (new series folded into a Souls sequel later in dev), and DaS3 was an excuse to test things out for Elden Ring. This is why 3 is the only recent From game lacking soul.
Ian Murphy
Remake never ever
David Gomez
This was supposed to be Berserk: The Game
Cooper Collins
Archdragon Peak concept art has the design of Crumbling Farum Aziula and some assets are the same
Camden Thompson
Nathaniel Parker
Jordan Perry
In the Alpha and Beta many locations reference Faraam
He was likely a big deity for Lothric, the part that rejected the Angelic Faith
All iterations of Archdragon Peak have a bridge that was the dilapidated bridge leading to Lothric
This is why Archdragon has so many Lothric emblems and Lothric Knights tame and use wyverns
Tyler Evans
"Faraam mausoleum" as named in the japanese cloth map of Lothric, was the boss arena with the Old Wolf of the Eclipse
The name was changed to "Farron"
Michael Morris
I always found it weird and suspicious how he was one of the statues for the collector's edition and got even more figures later on for some reason despite being not really that prominent in the game compared to many other characters.
Chase Rogers
I think he was really in Anor Londo
All the enemies in the alpha and beta are Fire themed and sized like the Outrider Knights. The design of the Dancer is very similar to Carthus style oriental weapons too
Ryder Clark
>Miyazaki had written Dark Souls 3 to be literally Berserk's Eclipse
We need to shoot every single Bamco executive in Minecraft
Parker Wilson
>literally an asset reused in bloodborne
hacks
Landon Watson
Can someone post that strange elden ring-esque armour that was found in the dark souls 3 files?
Tyler Richardson
This?
Adam Cox
nope thats just demon souls looking i mean it was found like several years later by dropoff and looked really out of place/more in line with elden ring
Julian Stewart
???
Noah Martinez
unused Ringed City/Grave of Gods asset
Ryder Hill
>World's poorest shithole if Dark Souls 3 had 6 extra months of development
Landon Johnson
DS3 is significantly better than ER though
