kuronaialtani: "It strangely lacks feet"

Someone is onto Miyazaki, clearly

TheWarmachine375: Shame we will never see the Gloam Eyed Queen that was briefly mentioned as a footnote in Marika's rise to power as God-Queen of the Golden Order.

justinhowe3878: I think the Putrescent Knight is an excellent fit for St. Trina, thematically. In her "sleep of death," she dreamed up a guardian that grotesquely echoes Miquella's intended consort.

PMux79: The image of Putrescent Knight hugging the Godskins was beautiful

alfalldoot6715: I can't be the only one who thinks the PK resembles the albanaurics right? They both have a silver coloring, flimsy legs requiring the need of a steed to carry them, and both their weapons scale with arcane. Perhaps the original albanaurics were made from leftover putrescence, thus inspiring the hatred towards them from the cuckoos and golden order for "lacking grace."

chronovac: "I'm sick of Japanese and Greek monsters, let's try something new"

spies the nuckelavee

StarkSkies: Always cool to see the simple little animation tricks they use. Switching things from one hand to the other in animation is hard!

walaxometrobixinodrink1727: ok this godskin knoght idea is metal as hell

the godskins taking the skin and leaving the skeletons away to create a super ultimate blackflame skeleton knight of death

shit's cool as hell

draw2death421: I feel like a lot of gloam eyed queen content got cut. Even Lamenter seems to be connected to her since if you transform into him your body gets covered in Black Flames. But lamenters items dont mention or even hint at Gloam Eyed Queen.

PaladinPvDullahanVt: When i first fought it, it reminded me of the Nuckelavee creature, riding atop a horse, seemingly connected to it, and fighting in a watery arena

LordKore: Bet ol boy is made from the restless spirits from the shadow lands drawn to st. trina and the aura of peace and love she projects outwards in her deathless slumber.

LorkhansLetsplay: This cave looks alot like the one where the furtive pygmy found the Dark soul

matthewboyle2641: This makes the fissure seem even more like the cave of abandoned concepts. Not to be confused with the island of misfit toys

abysmalcosmos4644: Zullies ability to tell these stories with character models and locations is unparalleled. Always love these videos

apophisstr6719: No legs, a horse, and two cleaver?

Radahn, is that you?

PurebloodKnight: I was LITERALLY JUST thinking "oh I wonder when the next Zullie vid will be posted" and I refreshed my feed and lo and behold 42 seconds ago

AzraelSoulHunter: Sad how neglected Black Flame was in the DLC. It is rather clear from the name that this Boss probably was using Black Flame. Sad how so many things were left with no closure like Gloam Eyed Queen or us seeing Living Godwyn.

maxwellfujs6124: I love how the three bosses posed for a picture hahahaha. Hilarious. Now all we need is a kelpie selfie!

ForeverLaxx: I read somewhere about a working theory about why the Knight has "missing" legs and the horse is slumped back and sagging, which is that the two share a skeleton and the Knight is essentially just "emerging" from the horse in some manner. With the horse's legs looking withered and bent like empty socks, this might strengthen the idea as the Knight is currently using those legs so the "skin" just kinda flops to the ground and is dragged along.

This can also explain its lack of a skull as the horse retains that part of its skeletal structure.

I thought it was interesting, anyway.

DrThuThu: Love its design as a mirrior to Radahan idealized but the discarded remains of Miquella

alexanderson4497: The DLC feels like there was a narrative revision shortly before it was completed, like an internal disagreement on what the story needed to be and we got what we got, a whole lot of very little and no concrete answers about much.

charlesqbanks: It seems like the Gloam Eyed Queen was an entire story plot, with it's own characters and relevance to the game on it's own, but was aborted completely in development, but instead of deleting all traces of it, they just kept in a bunch of characters and references to it in spite of it's complete lack of cohesion. So frustrating, as the Gloam Eyed Queen and Black Flame/Godskin plot is one of if not the most intriguing faction and concept in the game.

tarago8567: The bottom two limbs in the place of "legs" bear a striking resemblance to bird wing bones. It even has the extra bones at the wrist (bottom joint), noticeable split of the metacarpals, and a digit or two sticking out

lilolero4841: damm, miyazaky was cooking before bloodborne for pc

Drakuma35: It would’ve been cool if it had sleep flame instead of that weird blue ghostflame, it would make sense for the lore of it imbibing st Trina’s nectar, and would give us an actual sleep boss

PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth: The DLC is FULL of repurposed/half-finished ideas:

gwyndolinds-en8yt: Someone at From Software’s team: “hey.. how about Radahn, but Orphan of Kos?”

Epsonea_482: We love ourselves some sludge horses :3

augustomegalindo: I always thought his head was a big grinning inverted spherical skull

artofrav: His head actually resembles the gem under the neck of the Godskin.

Pauljambondoesart: My theory is that miquella tricked Leonard into the land of shadow and than just yeeted him (and other people) into the rift, than Leonard's corpse became the putrescent knight (the putrescent knight is supposed to be the bones of a horse riding it's skin) that would explain why it's in the shape of a knight (radahn(doesn't have feet)) riding a horse (Leonard).

That1J1: From Soft literally added the half drawn horse meme to this game. Hell yeah.

TheWarmachine375: Putrescent Knight, is he a guardian of St. Trina or her jailer to prevent Tarnished from reaching her where she would tell them to take down Miquella.

The_Novu: In a month we're gonna find out the horse is named something like "Steve" for some reason.

denharte8670: Can’t wait for the next DLC to see its new iteration of “Boss whose sick horse burrows through the ground.”

deplorible753: We were THIS close to GEQ lore
