Lance McDonald is back once again with more news of cut content from a From Software game. This time, it’s the recently-released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Lance is no stranger to finding buried code in games like Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne, so this should come as no surprise.

The alternate dialogue is tied into the larger cut content involving the game’s use of Dragonrot. Dragonrot, like its Hollow cousin in the Souls franchise, is a degenerative condition which occurs each time you die in the game. To cure Dragonrot, you can use a Recovery Charm. However, you could originally cure Dragonrot by using the now-cut Dragonrot Pellets system.

The Dragonrot Pellets system also involved different dialogue exchanges throughout the game with NPCs. For example, Dogen, has more to say, with new dialogue options when you offer him the pellets.

While it’s not exactly earth-shattering, it’s again interesting for those fans keen on wanting to know more about the development of the game, which is almost always full of stories.
