Got any obscure soulslike knowledge to share? :)
Hydras can jump.
Wait what now?
It’s probably the most obscure DS1 knowledge I know of. Anyway, here you go, jumping hydra
That looks so silly, thanks for sharing. I have a feeling I’ve actually seen that before - probably in some video essay. Or is it super rare to see?
You just run past him to see it. I always did it intentionally to make him kill my clams for me
It is a consistent animation and easy to trigger, just ignore the hydra and continue forward. But I imagine most people don’t know about it because most people will kill the hydra first, not to mention it’s in a area that is not necessary to beat the game so anyone on a subsequent playthrough might just completely ignore that area.
This supports my theory that Smough is a basilisk
Those don’t look like functioning eyes, but rather just adornments, engravings that give no tactical advantage (except maybe drawing attention a heavily armoured area). Instead, I always thought his eyeline might be the slit right along the bottom of the face. That’d give him a proportionate head and neck.
Oh shit. I never noticed this.
