* DualBoss: The demo has three:
** Sir Florian and Warden Jessa, an elegant swordsman paired with a massive brute dual wielding crushing maces. Both have fairly simple movesets, but don't like to separate from each other long enough for the player to deal much damage.
** Rimeblood Halti and Greatwolf Skoll: A lone Abyss Watcher who brings in an icy Greatwolf at roughly 2/3 health. From there, the two bosses take turns playing passive or aggressive, each diving in when the other takes too much damage.
** The Angels of Gertrude start out as a one-on-one duel, only for a second angel to appear at half health. Fortunately, while both are extremely aggressive, teleporting foes, they share a health bar, meaning the addition of a second angel gives twice as many opportunities for damage.

* GenreRefugee: Certain enemies, like the Heide Knights and the Carthus Warriors, have their animations and movesets taken from ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'', causing a few odd quirks in the combat system - for example, Heide Knights are capable of automatically blocking attacks instantly and without using a shield like most humanoid enemies in ''Sekiro'', but you don't have the ability to counter that due to the far different combat system. They also tend to be much faster and aggressive than other enemies, due to the fact that most of their movesets were originally meant to be countered with deflections and not dodged.

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Despite being billed as an {{Interquel}}, it's unclear exactly when on the timeline the mod is supposed to take place.

However, the Cathedral of the Deep appears to be ''much'' further along in its Deep corruption than in the base game, which would place it after ''III''.
