The Souls series is composed of some of the best vidꦉeo games of all time. This is due to the sheer scope of the game world, which makes you feel✱ as if you are really trapped within a world of dark fantasy, with creatures awaiting you around each corner.

FromSoftware has put a lot of effort into each of the three Dark Souls games, as well as Demon's Souls and Bloodborne, which are closely related to them. This is why each game world looksꩲ so incredible and why each character model looks so impressive.

The people at FromSoftware are just as much a victim of due dates as every other video game developer, which means th꧟at not all ideas make their way into the final version of the game. There are also ideas which weren't finished due to a shift in creative direction, or because they didn't work as intended.

The Souls series has inspired a lot of devotion from its fanbase, to the point where there are enti𓃲re websites and YouTube series dedicated to breaking down the unspoken lore of the series, which is something that the casual player will liไkely miss during a regular playthrough. These fans have dug through the files of each game and discovered treasure troves of unused content that was once planned to be a part of the series.

We are here today to look at the awesome pieces of content from that were removed from the Souls series: from the original version of one of the most frustrating bosses in Dark Souls to the lost invasion quest for the Chaos Blade.

Here are Twenty Hidden Things Only Super Fans Found In Dark Souls!

20 𒊎 The Original Bed Of Chaos 🥃

Bed of Chaos might hold the distinction of being the most unfair boss in Dark Souls. This is due to the fact that it is essentially a puzzle boss that can wipe you out if you don't perform a set of i⭕n🌄structions that are never told to you.

It seems that the Bed of Chaos was once planned to be part of a more standard boss battle. There is an for the Bed of Chaos that has a set of wings on its back and has more animations, suggesting that it🔜 was meant to move around its arena.

It's a shame that the original version of the Bed of Chaos wasn't kept in the game, as a more standard boss battle would have been an improvement on the lame jumping puzzle that was retained in the retail versioℱn of the game.

19 The Lost Battle Royal🅘e Ceremony ꦦ

Player versus Player combat is a huge part of what brought the Souls series to mainstream attention, as the ability to invade the game of another player and hunt them down was seen as a huge addition to what was already an intenseꦏ s𒉰ingle-player experience.

It seems that Dark Souls III was planned to have a more in-depth PvP experience, as a YouTuber named Lance McDonald dis꧃covered an within the game that would havꦍe added a battle royale mode.

It was originally going to be possible to shroud the High Wall of Lothric in darkness,🐽 which would have allowed several players to battle each o🐬ther at the same time.

18 Theꦿ Lost World Behind The Broken Arcꦫhstone

In order to access the different worlds in Demon's Souls, the player has to use m☂agical teleportation devices, known as Archs🌜tone, to send them on their way.

There are five functional Archstone in Demon's Souls, withꦛ a sixth one that lays in ruins. The players had speculated that this was in꧋tended to send you to a level that was being saved for DLC, which was never finished.

Hackers have gone through the files of Demon's Souls and discovered the . Tﷺhe fans refer to this location as the Land of the Giants, as one of the NPCs refe💧r to the broken Archstone as a gift from the giants.

The Land🧸 of Giants is a huge empty castle in a snow-filled area, which has since been restored into a playable fashion༺ by the fans.

17 ꧙ The Original Beatrice

One of the few allies you can call upon in Dark Souls is a powerful witch n🧸amed Beatrice. You can call upon her help for the Moonlight Butterfly boss battle, which is especially handy for characters who use a melee build. Beatrice can also be called upon to help you fight the Four Kings, but only if she joined you in the Moonlight Butterfly battle.

The version of Beatrice that appears in Dark Souls is an adult woman. There is another character model for Beatrice withiﷺn the files of the game that shows a much of the 💟character.

Beat💛rice was likely changed to avoid the issues involved with showing the d🉐emise of a child in a video game, which is something that the rating boards frown upon.

16 The Lost Animal Monsters ꩲ

The Land of the Giants is the unfinished sixth world of Demon's Souls that is filled wit𒁏h nothing but snow and stone. This is due to the fact that it won't load any of its planned encoun🐟ters without any prompts from the player.

The fans have gone through the files of Demon's Souls and discovered that there were that were almost certainly going to be used in the Land of the Giants. These monsters include a wolfman with white fur, a bear warrior (seen above) who wields a huge club in battle, a hyena man who would have fought with its long claws, a yeti with a mouth in its stomach, and an owl wizard who casts magic spells in baജttle.

15 ꦉ The King Jar-Eel

The bosses are the true stars of the Souls series, as most players can't remember 🔥anything about their main character, but they can recall getting bashed by the likes of the Bell Gargoy🍬les and Ludwig.

There are only a handful of cut boss monsters in the Souls series, with the exception of Bloodborne (as we'll get to later), with the most notable example being from Dark Souls. 

Undead King Jar-Eel was intended to be a powerful Darkwraith, who acted as a⛎ boss battle within the New Londo Ruins. You were originally planned to defeat Jar-Eel as part of the quest to receive the Key to the Seal.

14 ✨ The Original Moon Presence

One of the potential final bosses in Bloodborne is the Moon Presence. In order to fight the Moon Presence, you need to consume three of the One Third of Umbi🌱lical Cords a♐nd defeat Gehrman, which will summon the Moon Presence to the field.

There is actually a✨ of the Moon Presence boss fight which fans🧸 have discovered within an unfinished Chalice Dungeon.

This alternate version of the Moon Presence may have been planned as a second form during the final battle, as it appears to be wounded. The alternate Moon Presence cannot get up off the ground and must rꦚely on its tentacles to harm the player — unless you move close enough for it to strike you with its claws.

13 The True Purpose Of Pontif🅰f Sulyvahn

The final boss of Dark Souls III is the Soul of Cinder, who is battled at the Kiln of the First ꩲFlame.

It seems that the Soul of Cinder was a late addition to the game, as there is evidence to suggest that Pontiff Sulyvahn was intended to be the of Dark Souls III. 

The original final♌ battle of the game was intended to place in an unused variant of the Untended Graves area, which would have been accessed with the aid of a ritual. It was here that the confrontation with Pontiff Sulyvahn 💧would have taken place.

It's probably for the best that Pontiff Sulyvahn wasn't the final boss of the game, as he is just a guy in a suit of armor with a pair of magical swords, which is about as generic as the Dark Souls series gets.

12 The Lesser Demon ♒

FromSoftware did an amazing job at making the monsters in Bloodborne feel distinct from the ones you saw in Dark Souls. Bloodborne has a focus on character designs involving transformation attempts that have gone wrong, combined with worshiping the Lovecraftian horrors that exist at the bor♋ders of our perception.

It is likely for this reason that the boss was cut from Bloodborne. This is a creature that resembles the Balrog from The Lord of the Rings and it wouldn't have looked out of place in Dark Souls, but a big fiery demon with an ax doesn't gell with the setting of Bloodborne. 

11 The True Purpose Of Cro⭕ssbreed Priscilla ♏

Crossbreed Priscilla is one o🙈f the bosses found in the Painted World of Ariamis. The reason she is called a Crossbreed is that one of her parents was an Everlasting💝 Dragon, which accounts for her huge height.

The developers of Dark Souls have revealed that Crossbreed Priscilla was planned to have a in the game. She was going to hold the same role in the story as the Emerald Herald in Dark Souls II and would be the means through which the player could spend souls on increasing th🧸eir stats.

There are several unused animations within the files of Dark Souls that show Cro🌞ssbreed Priscilla sitting down and standing around idly, which would have been used for the times when you were planned to encounter 𒐪her at the Firelink Shrine.
