Okay, anyone else feel like Tomb of Giants (and catacombs) is just a big horror survival thing in the game? You have a creepy atmosphere, creepy OST, reviving enemies, enemies hiding in every corner, ambushes, and all that. Think about it:
1) You only go down through this level and you're constantly being chased by skeletons that don't seem to know when to stay down as well as exploding skulls, a Hyena, perilous bridges, crazy traps and a whole bunch of other stuff that you can't quite see coming.
2) Pinwheel, a weird looking necromancer with 3 masks, crazy lanterns, creepy OST and hanging dead bodies. residing inside a giant tomb which you had to fall into with practically no indications of a way back out.
4) Tomb of Giants which is pretty much complete and utter darkness where you have to hold a lantern for a shield to see if you're not prepared (and it gives you the creeps not having your trusty shield) and to top it off you have giant skeletons with swords and bows twice the length of your body who seem to retain pretty much the speed of a normal body while still being hulks and being able to appear literally right in front of your face since you can't see anything in front of you!.
5) To make matters worse, you have multiple pinwheels in the end withplague babies a horde of skeleton babies which is disturbing. Then you have to cross a big blockade that seems to scream: "For your sake; do not enter!"
6) Then finally, you have to jump down ANOTHER pit with no indication as to how to climb back up while you have this Lord of the Dead brandishing a giant sword at you while it sends its minions on to you while performing insane high pitched screams and launching giant shockwave attacks that seem to make you want to run for you life, all while having to note that this guy is pretty much 1 giant corpse that decided to glue a bunch of other corpses on itself, making him pretty macabre.
7) Nito has one of the creepiest OST due to the fact that it seems to send chills down your spine more than show what an epic boss he is!
8) Let's not forget the matter there is no simple way to get out of their or telport there. You leave, you go through this whole process again. No lordvessel? K, enjoy your time getting out of that skeleton infested cave.
So, I have come to the conclusion that the entire catacombs is one big survival horror level!
(Come on, you have to admit that place was giving you serious chills and paranoia during your first play through)
