Bloodborne fans have been tirelessly uncovering cut content inside developer From Software’s code, an absolute mountain of it in fact, since launch in 2015; and now one of these excised treats – the fearsome Great One Beast boss – has been made playable in a new mod.
The Great One Beast is a cut boss first uncovered by Bloodborne sleuths Sanadsk and Zullie back in 2018. The pair’s initial probing uncovered the creature – a towering behemoth of red eyes and undulating fur, with a deadly aura – as only a partially implemented model.
Once restored through coding and save-editing wizardry, however, the Great One Beast – seemingly related to the Nightmare’s Silverbeasts and their Loran Silverbeast boss variant, based on its filename – was able to roam its cylindrical Chalice Dungeon abode, taking a few angry swipes at the player character but not, admittedly, a whole lot more.

Now however, one enterprising modder by the name of Foxy Hooligans has gone to the trouble of taking the basic framework first uncovered by Sanadsk and turning the Great One Beast into a fully fledged, and completely playable, boss fight.
