Topic: The Lords of Shadow and the Great Easter Egg Hunt!!! (Spoiler Alert!)

In Chapter 2-1 one of the brotherhood knight scrolls mentions the large beautiful tree that was the symbol of the forest.  It was called "The Great Dekuh".
This is a similar reference to the Great Deku Tree, the guardian spirit tree of the forest of the Kokiri, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Not sure if everyone else knows this, but the theme that plays at the beginning of Malphas' tower and the Fire Cemetary is a rearrangment of the ambient piece that plays at the beginning of Super Castlevania IV:

I heard that immediately.
I have to check the OST name, to see if it's the same name or similar.

Veros Woods?!?!  EXCELLENT!  :-D

Might be stretching it a little, but I couldn't help but think that this sounds like a jazzed up version of this.

When you're fighting against the giant ogre at the mountain fortress, there's a point at which you hurt one of its eyes and it only has one eye working.  At this point, he starts to punch the ground a lot more and reminds me a hell of a lot of Balore from Aria of Sorrow.  The face with the one eye, the punch attacks, etc.

Put the konami code at the first level loading screen and you'll get a Simon belmotn sprite just doing your same movements on the corner of your screen!

I think it was intentional.
They 'could have' used Victor to describe Frankenstein... but they didn't. They chose a different name for the old mad scientist.  Instead they chose it for one of the warriors.

I might be wrong, but I think Frankenstein's name is switched with someone else's in the old Universal picture (Henry, I think). That or some sequel has a Frankenstein descendant named Friederich. (Young Frankenstein reference?)

Also noticed that Brauner and Olrox use weapons that function exactly like the Cross Boomerang. Why they didn't give that to Gabriel is beyond me.

Zobek's final narration about Carmilla mentions that she will "cry bloody tears", not only a reference to the song but Carmilla's method of attack in Simon's Quest and Rondo.

Zobek at some other point refers to Carmilla's castle as the "demon's castle".

THIS.....

Super Castlevania IV (Walkthrough Stage 3)


....sounds very similar to the music you hear in several more peaceful areas in the game.  The track name is for LoS is 'Waterfalls of Agharta'.  I'm convinced that it's a more somber/melancholy version of it.

Yeah this was confirmed back when the first demo videos started to come out.  Great tune rendition.
