I think it was a "insight" shop... Insight is "eyes" in the game story, so it would have been weird to have 2 similar items separated... And when you buy all the items he attacks you.
Brace yourself bloodborne players are coming for your boss fight. As aileen once said ''a hunter must hunt'' you will get beaten to death with +10 torches and by people with bl4
a 4 year old game, yet when they sense a new video on it, the bloodborne players come out of their caves like wolves gathering around freshly killed prey
An insight fight would have been cool like those with lower insight aren’t able to witness his attacks but the the more you have the more you can witness and adept to
I was not expecting the chair slam. I actually yelled holy shit when it happened. This is amazing. Always wanted more out of Bloodborne. I'm obsessed with it's world. Thank you for bringing it's secrets to light.

It could just be a stock sound for all we know, I mean the sound that the Thralls make in DS3 is also used for a unit type in Pit Poeple (which SERIOUSLY caught me off-guard the first time I heard it in that game being so used to DS3). If you havent heard of Pit People it's a game made by the same people as Castle Crashers Crashers and Battleblock Theatre. Just a random little fun fact for you.
@@AceAviations2 The chants sound like lines of dialogue being played in reverse at a slightly different pitch. FromSoft reuses assets in their games all the time, they don't like anything to go to waste. I don't think its a stock sound, but if you somehow find these chants in another game by all means feel free to correct me.
I bet he's speaking some bastardized language of the Great Ones that still has some power, like he's trying to vocalize the runes the player can memorize.
It sounds like the same language spoken when you use a Madman's Knowledge. So you're probably right there, since Willem is almost certainly using these words to conjure arcane spells.
Wait up... The elephant in the room is that Master Willem and Micolash are one and the same... Am I late on that discovery or something? Not only do they have the same VA, but if you take the liver description literally, then the Micolash in the dream is just a younger version of his husk left behind. Not to mention from those "new" dialogues, they both repeatedly ask for eyes and Micolash talks about Rom, the creature Willem is "guarding"... MAJESTIC!!
I don't think there are one in the same, they are similar in that Micolash hasn't deviated too far from the teachings of byrgenwerth as Laurence did. Master Willem wears a more ceremonial robe befitting that of a headmaster, while Micolash wears a graduated scholars uniform which may imply that Micolash studied under Master Willem and later went on to create the School of Mensis. While The School of Mensis did help create the Healing Church it seems to hold its ideals closer to that of byrgenwerth, being that they seek eyes to expand their rudimentary human knowledge. Micolash himself knows of both Kos and Rom meaning he had sway and influence, but because of Willem's distaste for using the blood I don't believe he could also be Micolash. Also after killing Micolash he complains about waking up and forgetting everything, as a separate character it would make more sense as his body is now a lifeless husk, the body we touch after the One Reborn, and by waking up he's dying, but if he were just a younger Master Willem he'd just reenter his old decrepit body back at byrgenwerth.
@@midnightmadness6344 I agree with you that Micolash's corpse in Yahar-Gul suggests he is a different person. But if we take the "Husk" part more literally, it could suggest that Willem himself sort of split (mirroring the Byrgenwerth Schism) with his scholarly left brain remaining as a husk endlessly searching for eyes, and his youthful and eccentric right brain emerging and acting on it's own. We often see that old hunters summoned through a Beckoning Bell appear in their youthful prime, so maybe Willem achieved this through some form of metamorphosis. I should acknowledge that there's not really a precedent for people splitting or de-aging anywhere else in the game, but maybe that's why this info/dialogue was removed.
Remember that this was cut for a reason. They might have had this idea before, but I think it was left behind. The game makes it clear that Micolash and Willem are different people with no real connection.
I feel stupid for not making that connection before but then again I don't look at VA names most of the time XD that definitely makes sense, although I'm not sure where Willem would've gotten the name Micolash from... unless his full name is Willem Micolash (or Micolash Willem, not sure if Willem is his first or last name).
Anyway moral of the story, click on this link: twitch.tv/lancemcdonald I was kinda thinking, those eyeballs. Maybe when Willem asks you to "bring him eyes" maybe he wants you to go find those eyes and kill them? I looked at more parameters in the alpha and noticed those eyes drop an item called "Professor's Key"??? I don't know what to think!
Obviously that's just a guess. I don't think anything like that ever came close to being implemented. There's zero evidence of it, and I don't like to make assumptions.
I was curious, did Willem have any dialog when he manages to kill the player character? Great work, love what you continue to do for the SoulsBorne community.
I initially thought he would require insight from the player? Its shown in game as an eye, lore wise would work and there is a brain sucker just outside which can obviously take insight. Just a thought
Seriously, this is the singular topic gnawing away at my frenzied psyche to this day. When Lance finally drops that video, bon voyage to all of you, I will have ascended to a higher plane~
I like to believe the fight isn't broken here at all, this is 100% the final intended vision for this epic encounter, it was just too unforgiving to leave in the game. The chair slam attack really gives it away with how fluid and polished they managed to make the animation
Lance you are truly my hero the stuff that you keep showing is simply amazing thanks man I know it so much time to make all of this I really appreciate it
What's ur level? Im 131 ng+ in my prev run (ng) i was having trouble with orphan n i finished the main game thinking the dlc progress wud b intact...long story short wud u b willing to help me with the ng+ orphan?

I dont see why they cut this. I mean this could have been an optional bossfight/quest to go and find those eyeballs for him. I would have loved to see this fight completed. Also, I just got reminded how bad I want a Bloodborne 2 and what a masterpiece this game is. Truly the best game Ive ever played. Thank you so much for your work.
Honestly, at this point, he could just be coming up with all of this and putting some fancy graphics over the screen, doing the voice acting and creating 3D models himself, and I would still be amazed.
You would actually be surprised if you took a look at what is left hidden in the game files. This one was no mystery, the VO's and animations have already been speculated and covered on another channel. As a game dev, I can say that most "unused content" is simply removed altogether off a finished product because it takes up too much space. Unless of course it had been tied in mechanically to the point where removing it messes up the internal code dependencies. Then it becomes a mechanical reference for the code to function properly... As always, believe what ever you want...
Willem's bits are probably Blacksky Eyes that would have shot meteors at you, as the description for that tool says that it was discovered at Byrgenwerth. RIP Willem, the one who came closest to realizing he was living in a blood painting inside a rotten scrap of a painting that is on fire in an Age of Dark.
Always so excited when you post a new BB video! It's one of my favorite games I've ever played, and I love how many things are buried beneath the surface. It's so fun to see what could've been, and to try and piece together the concepts.
I greatly appreciate everything you do, and you really answer a lot of questions I’ve had in my many bloodborne playthroughs such as the great bridge door and the byrgenwerth trapdoor. These videos scratch a weird itch I’ve had with cut content in games I’ve played over the years. Keep up the good work. I’ll always be back for more :)
Dude, this is awesome. Thank you so much for going through all the time and effort to find this stuff and then get it all to work. It uncovers more and more about a game I love, and you make that love even greater. It also highlights just how much changes in a game even in later stages when models, sound effects and other things are made, but then cast away.
Whoa, after almost 5 since release there is still so much to uncover. Thanks Lance! Watching your videos is like playing Bloodborne for the first time!
This was so awesome and interesting. It really fleshes out Willem's personality for me, namely that he wasn't so virtuous by the time the player arrives in Yharnam...he wasn't a fiend for blood, but he was just as much of a fiend for eyes, seemingly not just growing eyes spontaneously, but also harvesting the human eyeballs out of the heads of other living people (and children?!) and using them for himself, perhaps grafting them onto his skull. (Could that explain why some statues and enemies have surgery scars on their heads? Perhaps eye-grafting head surgeries were practiced at Byrgenwerth?) I wonder if the Witch of Hemwick may have had a lore connection to Willem, especially considering her pre-Alpha liver title was Eye Collector, the vast quantity of eyes on her model, and the standard witch enemies' eye-extracting grab attack animations. Perhaps those witches were Willem's servants, sent out by Willem with the same dialogue you showed in this video to steal people's eyes, which they would have done with the same wooden spoon they use to try to steal the player's in Yahar'gul. This video also may help answer a question I've had about the geography of the game world- specifically, where the lecture building would have been situated before it was pulled into the nightmare. Sounds like it may have been underneath that trap door, in the Byrgenwerth manor's basement. Which helps answer a second question- was the lecture building part of the School of Mensis, or Byrgenwerth, before it was pulled into the nightmare? This implies Byrgenwerth. It also gives a small hint as to when and by whom the lecture building may have been pulled in- if it was located underneath Byrgenwerth manor, it may have been pulled in during the formation of Rom, or the formation of Rom's illusion that hides the eldritch truth, since Rom's manifestation in the physical world is accessed a mere dozen meters horizontally from where the Lecture Hall would have been situated.
man everyone complains about the dks2 lighting downgrade (for obvious reasons) but the bloodborne alpha looks like it has much better lighting than the final game also.
Brilliant work as always man, fascinates me how much goes unused. I'd rather wait and let the devs make it work than have that "crunch" and lose so much content
Man your dedication to the cut content is amazing, your content is always awesome and I’m always waiting for the next video thank you for all your hard work
These videos are always a blast, but it does leave a bittersweet feeling tho. So many cool unused things we get to see but its a shame to see the scope of what they planned was even bigger than the base game.
I have a suspicion that Willem was supposed to be a covenant, seeing as how Yurie could be an anecdote for such a claim. Maybe you get Eyes every time you engage in PvP
I think "broken willem" is one of the best SoulsBorneTwiceDie enemies. Even better than headsmash primordial serpent. Well ok maybe not the best but definetily the most hilarious. :D Can't stop watching that chairsmash attack.
I love that this community (I’m not saying there is anything wrong with it) just keeps making the name of the series longer with each game. Soulsborne was short and sweet but I can’t wait to see it become Soulsbornekiroring.
@@vallisroyeaux4979 I don't think Sekiro qualifies as a soulsborne game. It's pretty different from the others, while Bloodborne and dark souls share many mechanics.
Giulia Bonifazi I’m not saying they are. But the name seems to extend/alter with every release from soft makes, regardless of being the same “series” of games.
@@vallisroyeaux4979 it does and I think it needs to stop for 2 reason, number 1 it doesn't make any sense, and number 2 it's gonna become impossible to pronounce in a few years
Jesus these comments. People talking about well known plot points and lore as though they have some deepest lore theory. It's too funny. "Personally I think eyes on the inside has something to do with insight." GENIUS! Someone call Vaati!

And when you buy all the items he attacks you.
Huh. That actually makes a lot more sense than bringing him actual "eyes".
Missed a key detail: "With regard to actual gameplay" Lance is saying that the idea of 'fetching eyes' in gameplay is not fully understood.

Yeah, it's the same chant.
Maybe a little more meaning behind the title "reborn"?
Also the wheelchair falling reminds of TOR as well. Maybe it was supposed to be Willem who reborn?
Probably just reused assets.
It also sounds a bit like (though not the same) as the weird muttering you hear when you gain insight from entering an area or defeating a boss.

Fascinating stuff! Thank you!
8:08 That sounds eerily just like me when i looked at too many memes.
Maybe those eyeballs were also somehow tied to the Brain of Mensis.
Thank You for these amazing finds Lance~
Man your dedication to the cut content is amazing, your content is always awesome and I’m always waiting for the next video thank you for all your hard work
thank you for discovering and sharing this!
These videos are always a blast, but it does leave a bittersweet feeling tho. So many cool unused things we get to see but its a shame to see the scope of what they planned was even bigger than the base game.
Not enough eyes to see. More eyes. Bring me more eyes. Ah, Maria, what stops thine ears? Please, more eyes, right away...
Great video! Very fascinating
amazing content as always
7:17 kinda reminds me of the mumbling the one reborn does
deepest lore
If Lance McDonald isn't an NPC in Elden Ring, i will freak.
Get ready to freak
Freak? Weak! Real men FRICK
Great work Lance!
Great video as always, Lance.
With all these cut bosses, if they were in the game, they would probably surpass DSII's amount of bosses.
I thought I heard University professor's bit$$ at first. lol
youre doing great work brother! keep digging!
I always really appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos! It still amazes me how much content gets left behind in soulsborne games 😂
I have a suspicion that Willem was supposed to be a covenant, seeing as how Yurie could be an anecdote for such a claim.
Maybe you get Eyes every time you engage in PvP
I think "broken willem" is one of the best SoulsBorneTwiceDie enemies. Even better than headsmash primordial serpent. Well ok maybe not the best but definetily the most hilarious. :D Can't stop watching that chairsmash attack.
I love that this community (I’m not saying there is anything wrong with it) just keeps making the name of the series longer with each game. Soulsborne was short and sweet but I can’t wait to see it become Soulsbornekiroring.
@@vallisroyeaux4979 I don't think Sekiro qualifies as a soulsborne game. It's pretty different from the others, while Bloodborne and dark souls share many mechanics.
Giulia Bonifazi I’m not saying they are. But the name seems to extend/alter with every release from soft makes, regardless of being the same “series” of games.
It was indeed intended as a joke.
@@vallisroyeaux4979 it does and I think it needs to stop for 2 reason, number 1 it doesn't make any sense, and number 2 it's gonna become impossible to pronounce in a few years
The way you are finding so much content today is just amazing ! thanks to grant us knowledge ;)
hats off to you Lance
your work is amazing and never fails to impress me !
7:52 CHARGE ZA WHEZZZE
for real tho can't tell what was that
He was wheezing because he's laughing and old?
Jesus these comments. People talking about well known plot points and lore as though they have some deepest lore theory. It's too funny.
"Personally I think eyes on the inside has something to do with insight."
GENIUS! Someone call Vaati!
Thank you for all the research you still do, it's still interesting and very much appreciated to see this content pop up!
These videos are awesome! Crazy discoveries are being made after all these years
So awesome! GG Lance
