lore: the Protective Father.
Most boss battles start when you get close to the boss or attack them.
But Godfrey's phantom in Leyndell (entity 11000850) is instead triggered if you attack *Margit* all the way over in Stormveil Castle (entity 10000850).

Elden Ring: Survival Mode 💀
This will be my annual St. Jude mod for Lobos next month. Hit me up with your ideas for more changes you'd like to see in a more brutal/realistic version of the Lands Between.
As always, the mod will be released to the public later!
@grimrukh
Elden Ring Survival Mod:
-Nighttime is incredibly dark, need torch
-Hunger/Thirst meter added, must craft food/drink
-Cold temps build up Frostbite, Hot causes heat exhaustion (certain armors mitigate this)
-Chance for disease/infection on wounds

In Dark Souls, bonfires are invisible characters, and use the same code as merchants for menu creation. Each menu option only appears if a certain game flag is enabled.

In Dark Souls, Gwyndolin is fought in a long corridor just below the real one.
The player is warped into this corridor before the cutscene, which then uses a classic "matte painting" trick to create the illusion that Gwyn's tomb is moving infinitely into the distance.

I've found evidence that the Catacombs area in Dark Souls was moved during development.

I've been surprised by how many of our recent Dark Souls modding problems have been solved by the phrase "just inject it into Capra Demon's skeleton".

The One Reborn is literally stitched together. The game keeps the two parts attached by manually teleporting the human torso into position at the front of the main corpse pile body. It teleports *every single frame.*

Celestial Emissary does NOT get tougher when you bring summons into the fight. They copy-pasted code from Yahar'gul into Upper Cathedral Ward, but forgot to edit it, so The One Reborn gets buffed instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Typically, when FromSoft needs copies of an enemy for one special event/attack, the copies are all stacked up on each other below the room.

In Elden Ring, Commander O'Neil, who drops the Unalloyed Gold Needle, is found directly above Miquella's egg in Mohgwyn Palace.

At last: direct Dark Souls collision editing!
I've coded a two-way HKX / OBJ converter for Nightfall (DSR + Havok 2015). It makes collision edits SUPER easy in whatever 3D program you want.

Rennala is one of the hardest bosses in Double Trouble. She was also, by far, the hardest boss to properly clone because of the ~50 different event scripts used in her fight.

The developers of Dark Souls Remastered tried to fix a wrong specular texture (basically invisible) on the outer Blighttown wall.

Enemies hold grudges. (Don't tell Warner Brothers.)
A soldier that kills you might steal something from you and carry it halfway across the world, or rise up through the ranks faster. A faction might deploy assassins to find you.

To clarify: there's no skip here! You trigger the fight by (a) getting close to him *OR* (b) damaging Margit. In practice, it will always be (a).
And even if they used Godfrey's ID for condition (b), you wouldn't be able to damage him, since he's disabled before the fight.

Something about overhaul modding they don't tell you in school is that you become paranoid that every weird minor glitch -- like floating a foot in the air in one particular spot -- is YOUR FAULT.

Enemies, treasure, traps, and more can spawn absolutely anywhere in both the overworld and dungeons -- not just in familiar positions.

So Elden Ring's world passes the "fun Geoguessr minigame" litmus test. That's a good starting point for discussing why it rocks so hard, IMO.
I think this a genuinely hard test for games to pass. Maybe even a good internal test for studios to use during open world map design?

Most areas tend to lose their novelty after years of documenting, editing, and testing.
But no matter how long I spend modding the Painted World of Ariamis, I can still get lost. That's why it's my favorite FromSoft map.
