History Trivia / DarkSoulsII

** The Executioner's Chariot's location was also different in look, compared to the final version of the game. Previously, the Chariot would take up less of the hall, and the boss arena was much less of a [[CorridorCubbyholeRun circle]], and there was no holes in the walls to hide in, making it seem like dodging the Chariot was your only option for survival.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original concept for the Executioner's Chariot was that it was supposed to be encountered multiple times, or several different ones would have been encountered throughout the game, as some sort of elite mook that would constantly hunt you down should you have committed evil deeds (killing [=NPCs=] and the like). There is no telling as to when the idea was scrapped and the Chariot was limited to just being the boss of the Undead Purgatory.

** The Shrine of Amana is Videogame/{{Touhou}} Swamp after all the priestesses who [[MoreDakka spam Soul Spears everywhere]].
