As a seasoned gamer with a deep appreciation for immersive storytelling and richly-realized worlds, I’m truly captivated by Enotria: The Last Song and its intriguing blend of folklore and soulslike gameplay. The latest developer diary offers an enticing glimpse into the Italian mythology that informs this upcoming adventure, and as someone who’s always been drawn to the allure of ancient tales and their retellings, I can hardly contain my excitement.
The creators of the soulslike game Enotria: The Last Song have unveiled a fresh video showcasing some of the foes you’ll encounter in the title, as well as providing insights into the Italian legends that influenced their designs.
In the video, Jyamma Games’ developer introduces “Ermiglio,” who is the boss of the Mantelloni Garden region. He mentions that Ermiglio is among the numerous Italian folklore-based bosses you’ll encounter and that he dwells in a cursed monastery, surrounded by cloaked inhabitants.
Check out the video, below, which is the second dev diary for the game.
As a huge fan of Italian folklore, I can tell you that Jyamma Games set out on a mission to breathe life into the intriguing and ominous characters from these ancient stories with their game, Enotria: The Last Song. From shrouded figures playing mischievous pranks to cursed monks following the devastating aftermath of a cataclysmic event, Vermiglio and the Mantelloni Garden mobs were inspired by these tales of deception and mystery. For those who crave more insight into the origins of these two menacing beings, keep reading!
Here’s some of that lore from the latest press release:
- The Red Monk of Assisi: Set in the early 1200s during the war between Assisi and Perugia, this spectral figure is shrouded in betrayal and tragedy. According to local lore, the Red Monk betrayed Assisi to Perugia by revealing a secret passage through the city walls. This act led to the brutal sacking of Assisi and the curse of the Red Monk, whose spirit is said to haunt the nearby woods, appearing after midnight to wander restlessly.
- The Manteillons of Mont Blanc: Inhabiting the slopes of Mont Blanc, the Manteillons are beings resembling goblins and elves, distinguished by their long cloaks that conceal a peculiar deformity: they have no feet. Mischievous and spiteful, they delight in pranks such as tying cows’ tails together and disturbing sleeping humans. According to legend, placing containers filled with barley or lentils on windowsills can deter them, as they are compelled to count every grain before causing mischief.
- The Ghost Monks of Mount Subasio: Once monks of a monastery near Assisi, these spirits are cursed to repeat rituals and processions they neglected in life. After a cataclysmic event claimed their lives and destroyed their monastery, they were condemned to eternal penance. Witnessed as ghostly figures with lit torches, they roam the hills around Mount Subasio, forever enacting the rituals they once disrespected.
Enotria: The Last Song is coming to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on September 19th.
