In this article, I will take a look at one of the most fascinating characters from theDark Soulsseries -Oceiros, fromDark Souls 3. I’ll also look at Ocelotte, his son. In particular, I’ll show a cut scene from the alpha version ofDark Souls 3.
Oceiros an Ocelotte: Cut scene analysis
Since the introduction ofDark Souls 3, players have been fascinated byOceiros. His appearance reminds players ofEbrietasfromBloodbornewith the tube sponge-like appendages growing running down his back. Players are reminded ofSeathe the ScalelessandBig Hat Loganfrom the pale skin and crystal magic respectively.
However, the most puzzling thing about him is what’s he is holding or not holding.Oceiroscradles something that should have been there. If you combine his dialogue with the crying baby sound effects, its seems to be his son,Ocelotte.
“Where have you gone? Are you hiding from me?
You were born a child of dragons, what could you possibly fear?
My dear, little Ocelotte.”
There has been other players who have dug into the files of the game and found a model of a baby that was suppose to be in his arms during the fight. Recently, Lance McDonald was able to recreateOceiros' andOcelotte’salpha models.Ocelotte’smodel was edited to make him invisible before the final version ofDark Souls 3was released.
Oceiros' introduction cutscene has some different camera angles but for the most part his fight is the same as the final version.Oceirosstill crushesOcelottewhen he enters his second stage during the fight with a loud squish sound effect.
Ocelotte’sbody appears to be a small infant with a scar near the chest. There is a flower like dragon scale shell covering his lower half. This could be a censorship aesthetic choice or merely to drive home the point that he was born of dragon. It is unsure if this would have been the final version ofOcelottebefore the development team decided to make him invisible.
