Btw luke! The weird invincible mushroom is likely due to the original dragon that's at the location. It rips off its back half, which has a hitbox but can't be harmed!

I do appreciate how Sekiro's backstab animations are more tailored to the enemies. Because the 'backstab' on the mushroom looks like a headwound, and on the knight and many other larger enemies is clearly horrific perineal trauma, and another layer of meaning to the phrase "wrecked 'em".

It's curious that both of the Undead Dragons were replaced by the Gaping dragon. Perhaps both Undead dragons register as "the same boss" to the randomizer so it gives the same result each time. Also, I think the immortal mushroom man might have been the replacement for the Undead Dragon's legs, which it leaves behind when it attacks.

"Maybe they'll all get caught on the door again" *enemies form an orderly line and charge right through* was NOT expecting the Phalanx to be that messed up 'XD three knights! three black knights! also, am curious if jump attacking the T-posed mushroom would have any notable effect? it's standing in place of the dragon butt that's usually there, and power attacks make the dragon butt stand up because of complicated stuff involving "throws" and special animations (Zullie the Witch has an excellent video on it), but I guess it probably doesn't make the enemy any more susceptible to damage or knockback

I think the dogs have some of the longest aggro range of all the enemies in all their Souls games (and Sekiro). The knights have pretty long ranges as well. Well, the animals, like the bears, lobsters, and crabs, in Elden Ring have pretty long aggro ranges as well, especially the damn bears. I aggroed a giant rune bear in Liurnia, because I wasn't expected one to be there guarding an item (like, legit didn't even see the bear) and the stupid thing chased me into the lake and continued chasing me (I was on Torrent, btw) until it killed me. I happily wrote those runes off and went somewhere else. It's funny to turn around and watch them leave when they've decided to stop being so territorial. I love the weird immortal mushroom at the end. Randomizers really are so weird.

Poor Priscilla, forever hounded by Luke. I think she wasn't randomized because she counts as an unique NPC you can interact with, and I guess aggroing her doesn't count any differently than, say, aggroing the Crestfallen Knight or Andre.
