Yhorm, old friend. I, Siegward of the Knights of Catarina, have come to uphold my promise!

Let the sun shine upon this Lord of Cinder.

The Mad King still lives inside and when the King awakens, 
it emits the power to protect the master.
Though the King could be whimsical. 

Raising its hands up in the air, the giant is shouting towards the ceiling.
Seems it's calling someone far up in the sky.

If trusting his words, the knight has become a hollow who has lost his memory. 
The knight seems to continue his journey in order to gain back his forgotten memory.

Many things have sunken, but at the same time, many have arose.

The withered sword, which was sealed by the Gods in the past, seems to have regained its past appearance.

As it sinks into the darkness, black crystals that appear on its body fly into the air. 
At last, the dragon may be consumed by the darkness…

Corpses have grown under the creature, as it raises it's head to the red sky, looking down upon the angels. 
Its name is Stone-humped Hag.

Covered by overly grown bacillus, she is holding a half cracked shell. 
Her name is Filianore - her sleep is meant for the sake of others.

Реюз ассетов или бреинфак от Хидетаки?

И так? люди поигравшие в демку (онли Япония) спешат сообщить народу о своих находках. Пост собран с разных постов на реддите в переводе с Японского на английский...

Here's the full list of things that have come out of the JP demo loading screens and q&as:

+ "If Hawkwood's weapon is the Bastard Sword, Lunge is the Bastard Sword weapon art too."

+ "Knight class's shield had a weapon art in the network test, in the new version it parries"
+ "No dual wield like DS2" [I assume this means power stancing is out]
+ "Someone beat Iudex Gundyr in 30 seconds and the staff went 'wtf'"
+ "maybe luck=pyromancy"
+ "Battle Axe: 80 durability, 5 attacks = 1 durability point"
+ "You can choose to spend estus flask shards on either the blue or the orange estus"

Dark Souls 2 as an 50's Dark Fantasy film

В файлах Dark Souls 3 была обнаружена целая куча предметов которые так и не попали в игру но тем не менее выглядят очень интересно

1) Frigid Valley Mask

Mask worn by the beast knight of the Frigid Valley.

The mask was created using techniques now lost. 

It clearly has an unusual, unsettling air about it.

Возможно разработчики планировали использовать шлем как один из вариантов транспозиции души Вордта.

2)Маска хранительницы огня

К сожалению у предмета нет какого-либо внятного описания.

3) Varangian set

[Piece] worn by Varangians that terrorized nearby seas. 

The coastline stretches far in northern Drangleic.

Beyond this northern sea is an unexplored continent, said to be home of things inhuman.

С выходом Dark Souls 2 игроками было подмечено, что Дранглейк очень напоминает один из континентов показанных в начальной заставке Demon's Souls. Данный сет мог бы послужить отличным доказательством этой теории, но похоже разработчики решили, что это будет уж слишком очевидно.

4) Hexer's Set

 [Piece] worn by a hexer. 

 Belonged to Felkin the Outcast.

 Those who have a taste of dark are drawn into its vortex and rarely return.

 Perhaps it appeals to something deep within the human soul.

Сет одного из персонажей Dark souls 2

5) Giant's Set

embedded with the soul of the old giant, Lord of Cinder.Reinforced with the protection of a giant, this item will repel all manner of attacks, holding fast against the wearer's enemies.

Должен был появится в продаже у служанки после победы над гигантом Йормом, но был удален из игры

6) Man Serpent's Set 

[Piece] worn by a man serpent priest.There were those among the man serpents as well as people, who devoted themselves to magic, and the existence of a cane that could invoke sorceries from ages past.

Сет змеиных магов встречающихся на пике древних драконов

7) Footman's Set

[Piece] worn by a manservant who roams the Undead Commune.The lowly footmen were given the most dejectable tasks among citizens of the Undead Commune.Their superhuman strength far exceeds that of an ordinary person, and if agitated can become quite uncontrollable.

Сет одного из противников встречающихся в поселении нежити

8) Saint's set

[Piece] worn by the young crossbreed taken prisoner within the dungeon.

Originally pure white, years of incarceration have stained it ash grey.

Любопытно, что в описании сета упоминается молодая полукровка

9) Grotto Set

[Piece] of a sorcerer who distanced himself from this world. 

Looks terribly worn-out, but the fabric's surface is reinforced with magic.

10) Heavy Knight's set

[Piece] of a heavy knight, leaden from head to foot. 

Created with the ideology of withstanding any attack, it demands excessive physical strength from those who use it. 

However, the defensive power it offers is beyond expectation.

11) Burial Knight's Set

[Piece] favored by the former Order of the Burial Knights.

Formal wear often mistaken for ceremonial purposes.

 Made from the same alloy as that used on the battlefield, it is a little on the heavy side, although functions well as a defensive item.
