More area and boss ideas
Duke's Archives Rooftop
This area is accessible through Seath's room in The Archives but only after you beat Seath. Activating a lever opens a large door which leads to a long crystallised staircase to the top of the Archives. The stairway will be populated by Channelers and Crystal hollow archers. In an enclave guarded by two powerful Crystal Golems will be a unique Crystal Golem armor set which can cause serious Physical damage by punching someone with it although it cannot be upgraded and you also cannot arm a weapon or shield when it's equipped. Passing a fog gate on the top of the stairs leads you onto the rooftop and into a cutscene.
Boss: Belaferatu
This is a strange one eyed bat-shaped dragon which shoots sonar magic from his eye to paralyse you. When paralysed he can either slash you or he can grab you with his claws and drop you from the rooftop to your death. You get a two second warning before he uses his sonar attack so that you can get out of the way. He also breathes sonar blasts which can cut through you unless you're using a good magic resistant shield.
Cutting off Belaferatu's tail gives you a Sonar Greatsword. The two-handed R2 attack unleashes a sonar blast which causes magic damage and is capable of hitting multiple times.
Upgrading a +10 greatshield gives you the Beleferatu Eye. It has great magic and lightning resistance but poor fire resistance. This shield's L2 unleashes a paralysing sonar blast but each use costs 100 durability.
Abyss of the Giants
This is an area which can be accessed from the swamp area just below Nito's fog gate (Where the skeleton babies and Pinwheels are) by sliding down an EXTREMELY long coffin. This area has been corrupted by the abyss and needs two light sources instead of one for you to find your way around. Both the Skull Lantern and Sunlight maggot would be a necessity here. It contains a more powerful version of the Skeleton dog as well as new enemies, The Skeleton Horse with Murakumo-wielding Skeleton Giant riders and the Giant Skeleton mage which casts Dark Magic. A Pyromancy can be found here called Nito's Miasma. This creates a purple fog which causes curse build up. Negotiating a narrow walkway with drops to either side and Giant Skeleton mages on ledges at both sides leads you to the boss fog gate.
Boss: Lieutenant Eligos and Black Steed Abigor
Eligos was a lieutenant under the command of Artorias. He learned the art of abysswalking with his Commander so he could accompany him in destroying Darkwraiths. He did not have the unbending will of Artorias so he could not fully master the art. As a result he and his horse became corrupted by the Abyss and they both went mad. They were defeated in battle by Artorias and banished to the lower reaches of the Tomb, which in turn became corrupted.
Eligos carries a Giant two bladed Lance infused with Dark Magic and rides on the back of his hideous winged horse Abigor. The lance has a blade on each end.They use charge attacks where Eligos tries to run you through with his lance. The horse can also grab you with his teeth, fly into the air and drop you from a height. The horse also fires out dark flames from it's mouth. Killing Eligos first triggers a cutscene where Abigor grabs Eligos's lance, snaps it in two with his teeth and grabs both parts with his wings. He becomes more aggressive and can now do devastating bleed causing slash attacks with the lance pieces on both wings. Killing Abigor first triggers a scene where Eligos chops off Abigor's wings and attaches them to his own arms. He can now fly around the arena and his attacks become more powerful. When he's beaten he drops the Equa ring which boosts the strength of Pyromancies.
Ascending a +10 katana with the Abigor Soul creates a Dark Katana, this weapon is a piece of the Eligos lance and is infused with dark magic. It requires 28 intelligence and 20 dexterity to use.
Ascending a +10 Halberd with the Eligos souls creates a Dark Lance. It has a un ique moveset and is also infused with Dark magic. It requires 28 strength and 20 int to use.
Eligos and Abigor are both Demons from the Ars Goeta btw
