It's a shame they cut the original boss opening, you get so desensitivized by all the "Doesn't open from this side" and "Locked" doors you come across you'd just drop your guard and then BAM, boss fight. It makes them feel so much more menacing and cunning, waiting for you to walk as far into the room as possible before showing up.

They're almost certainly the servants of Queen Yharnam. Everytime they appear, we encounter Queen Yharnam shortly after (in Moonside Lake, Mergo's Loft, and Pthumerian Ihyll). They share design similarities with the Wet Nurse, who we can also assume is a former servant of Queen Yharnam

@uraneusfoe 6 ай бұрын

I mean, you find queen Yharnam in the moonside lake after you defeat Rom, who reveals the rites of the scholars and the paleblood sky. You have to remember that the scholars of Byrgenwerth, the different factions that came from it as in the school of Mensis, the choir, the healing church etc and the hunters (who are some sort of scholars too, they seek knowledge) have conducted rituals in which the insides of a corpse is studied, modified or farmed from, they seek to hold audience with a great one and to study it to find ways to evolve the human race. Great ones seek a surrogate for their children. So in a way you can conclude that all those scholars, including the group of scholars you belong to, the hunters, have defiled the bodies of said surrogates for research (as how the hunters did with the corpse of Kos in the DLC). The shadows of YHARNAM want to stop you from pursuing more knowledge to conduct a ritual, it makes sense that you find them before Byrgenwerth, in hindsight.

@darkpuppetlordful Жыл бұрын

Maybe the AI behavior to turn invisible is less a "planned but never implemented" ability of the enemy, and more a leftover from when they ambush you for trying to open the door in the alpha (it's the same invisible thing just in reverse) either way I like from experimenting with the idea of an enemy that potentially "stalks" the player invisibly until their boss fight

I guess it might be because not everyone would turn around and walk directly back the way they came with the camera facing the right direction.

I think the Shadows were a great boss fight in retail, and it might be due to the amount of time spent on their iterations. Despite a lot of them being just model changes, they landed in a good spot, albeit their overall impact to the story unfortunately being minimal.

@UshioKiss Жыл бұрын

I initially thought they might have been part of the school of Mensis since they appear to keep you out of Bergynwerth, and if they were human, maybe being in the Forbidden Woods would cause them to snake-ify. But Mensis wouldn't have taken their hunters with them to the Nightmare. I realized their design looks like they're servants of Mergo's Wet Nurse. It makes more sense why they would only appear in these two locations to protect Mergo and the Wet Nurse, and why they would have initially used a Messenger spell.

03:45 I think the scarpped this idea is because some people wouldn't know that they had to turn around to a certain spot and just teleport out or they didn't clearly understand how to implement the mechanic yet. Like how do the game know that you go to X spot after you interact with the door, will it also work if the person teleport back then go through that spot again from the first direction instead of interact with the door and go to that spot. There is a very high chance that people won't comeback for that door again for a very long time and completely miss the boss which give the key. And another thing with that is how is the X spot supposed to work? Right after interact with the door? If so then people may not turn the camera back fast enough to see the entrance or at all and got backstabbed by those. And then after they die to the shadow they just stand there again? And giving them using an ability just once and never again doesn't make much sense either. So they changed to the current approach that they just walked out of the fog.

@Bones_ Жыл бұрын

Well as we now have seen their solution is to block all player ability to leave the area like in Elden Ring after defeating Morgot. Except since this is a surprise boss encounter, when you factor in Co-op and area fog gates I think that presents its own problem.

3:00 Holy shit. IS THAT A DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN? Man... The Alpha is would be so much harder than the retail version. The Alpha Mergo's Loft reminded me a lot of Dark Soul's 2 enemy placement design. A tight corridor filled with agile and dangerous mobs. Yeah, that would be unfun to traverse. On another note. Man, the entrance of Alpha Shadow of Yharnam is so AWESOME! Unfortunately, it seems that the alpha version of the boss fight seems overtuned. It's a gank boss fight with one of them being able to deal a one shot attack through frenzy. Remember, in this part of the game, sedatives isn't even purchasable yet since the Cosmic Eye Badge is locked until after we defeat Rom. In addition, all of them being able to upgrade their reach by phase two WOULD suck a lot. Thank god they changed their minds when they released the final version of the game. Otherwise, Shadows would become a filter zone that will cause probably half of the current fanbase of Bloodborne to quit and leave the game entirely.

perhaps their entrance was changed due to lore reasons. Invisibility is something related to gods and godlike creatures, seen only with enough knowledge. The shadows or "secret watchers" are tied to a very real place (the pthumeru civilization in the dungeons) that, besides Mergo, has no deal with invisibility. Unless they learned that skill from being in contact with the gods, like the runes in Yharnam, but nothing in the dungeons suggests that. It's a shame that their entrance after you reach the door was changed, bc it would make more impact. It would definitely introduce a new element of surprise for players that are already used to recognize a boss arena before entering it. Is there any chance of releasing a full exploration and analysis of the full alpha version, instead of small pieces? That would be a gold mine.
