It's no secret that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Nightreign contains plenty of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls bosses and references to older 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware co🌜ntent, but one in particular features a mechanic reminiscent of an entirely separate action RPG series – Monster Hunter.
The Gaping Dragon first appeared in 2011 genre gem 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls as an optional boss, with a cutscene I can only describe as having catfished me into thinking I'd be up against a little lizard only to reveal the true enemy I'd have to take on – a fearsome dragon with gigantic vertical jaws and wriggling teeth. That dragon is back now in Nightreign, and what's more, players can chop its tail off just as they could over a decade ago in Dark Souls.
As highlighted by Twitch streamer BioticNova in an online , Nightreign players can cut the Gaping Dragon's tail off to get weapon drops. In Dark Souls, fans could do the same for the Dragon King Greataxe, a rare weapon. While the newer game doesn't reward the same exact item, it's still a fun reference to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware's older action RPG – one that's not only reminding players of just Dark Souls 🐷either, appa🌞rently.

In the wake of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds, people also have Capcom's own series in mind – and the tail-chopping mechanic the Gaping Dragon fight features feels a whole lot like the one in Monster Hunter. As in BioticNova's thread reads, "What in the Monster Hunter?" that the "Monster Hunter-ification has begun," while elsewh𓄧ere, somebody , "So it is Monster Hunter, too?"
One player even how they've "been so cooked from Monster Hunter, I almost got mad you didn't go back to carve the tail" – a relatable reaction, if I do say so myself. Although they're not all as Monster Hunter-aligned as the Gaping Dragon, there are plenty more boss references and throwbacks to be found in-game, too. If nothing else, as our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Nightreign review describes them, they're certainly "a genius form of asset re-use."
Here are some of the other most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games this year and beyond to keep an eye on.
After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publicꦕations since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotch✤i or two on hand.
