One of Elden Ring Nightreign's returning Dark Souls bosses launches into the stratosphere halfway through the fight to hide that he gets replaced by a second, smaller guy

The Nameless King as he appears in Dark Souls 3.

Prolific FromSoftware dataminer Zullie the Witch is back with another interesting piece of Elden Ring Nightreign esoterica: The version of Dark Souls 3's Nameless King you fight on foot is different than the one riding the dragon, and FromSoft had to get creative with how it hides the transition.

In the first phase of his boss fight in DS3 and Nightreign, the Nameless King rides a dragon, dismounting to continue on foot in phase two of the battle. According to Zullie, the dismounted version of the Nameless King is over a third smaller (35%) than his mounted counterpart, a striking discrepancy when you see them both side-by-side.
