Zobech in his "Lord of the Dead" form looks like Darth Nihilus




But I don't think the battle against him will be anything like any other previous Death battles from classic CV. I don't expect to see floating sickles or anything. They're going to try something "new" and "different."

Darth Nihilus... his origin is so cool in Malachor V.

All I can say is that crisis loves topic titles.

Well I guess one Phase of the battle will remind a Death battle, I guess they will do that.
However one Thing was interesting. I don't know if anyone of you has a screenshot of the bestiary entry for the "Lord of the Dead". It showed Zobek's pure form but it somehow looked different than his appearance in the game. For example you could see corpses or souls in his carcass/ ripcage. Maybe we're going to see that. Imagine him Floating in the air with this ripcage and a skythe. That would look sick.

Well i think that is just the artist being creative with the design. For instance, Gabriel's artwork depicts him having long curly hair. His in-game model however has shorter, straight hair. And I believe Satan's artwork shows him having feathers and wings, but in-game model just has him having shadow-like "wings" instead.

But I agree, Zobech with skythe and cloak would look sick.

I don't know why I agree with the idea of Death looking like Darth Nihilus.

Some nice new info in here.

I used google translate.

Store to buy items, flying creature to explore but this could be a bad translation.

In article it says after freeing a "Dwarf Species" you get shop? Calling it the Chupacabra is the shopkeeper.

[Nagumo]

Interesting points from the article:

- At some point you can find an egg in the game. After it hatches, a small flying monster will search for items.
- "Some sort of dwarf" (I'm guessing the Chupacabra) will set up shop in the castle. Here you will be able to buy both regular  and unique items. At some point you can unlock here "something that will constitute a large part of the gameplay, but Cox is not allowed to talk about yet".
- The beginning of the game will take mostly in the castle, and apparently lasts quite some time.
- You can turn into a rat to avoid enemies.
- You can take over the bodies of enemies to get past modern security.
- You can freely travel between past and present using portales.

Interesting. I'm glad Cox is not spoiling the story/fun.
