Going strong across global markets even over a month after release, 2022 action role-playing game Elden Ring from developer From Software and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment continues hype its players like none other.
Being a Souls-like title, Elden Ring features a lot of cut content and Easter eggs from previous From Software games. One such instance is Ulcerated Tree Spirit boss, which seemingly is an unused boss character from Dark Souls III.
An optional field boss who dwells near mount Gelmir location, Ulcerated Tree Spirit has a few variant and even a non-boss version. Interestingly enough, it was originally designed as a boss character of Dark Souls 3 that was unused.
Looking through AI files, YouTuber Zullie the Witch recently discovered that Tree Spirit boss in Elden Ring actually has a file name "SnakeSoul", a hint to unused Dark Souls III boss that bears great resemblance to Pus of Man enemies.
Of course, having a similar file name could be a coincidence but Elden Ring previously recycled unused assets like a wolf-like enemy in Dark Souls 3 that carried a curved greatsword, has now being repurposed as Red Wolf of Radagon.
AI name for Ulcerated Tree Spirit boss to be SnakeSoul actually makes a lot of sense by looking at their designs. Pus of Man enemy concept has somewhat evolved in its latest model for Tree Spirit boss that has been heavily reworked.
Zullie the Witch shares her discovery of Elden Ring boss Ulcerated Tree Spirit to be a Dark Souls III cut content.
In an early leaked alpha screenshot for Dark Souls III, a dark, serpentine creature with a pointy spine under a bleeding sun can be seen. Its exterior is rougher than Pus of Man and has much similarity with Ulcerated Tree Spirit design.
Elden Ring modder has yet to discover many unused cut content from early Soulsborne games in coming days. Lands Between has many secrets buried within that players are still unearthing by going through lots of hours of gameplay.
