Just for full disclosure, the reason I didn't include other frequently reoccuring weapons like Claymore, Uchigatana, etc., is because those are based off of real life weapons for the most part, I wanted to mostly focus on things that are more so Fromsoft's. Similar reason for not including the Guts' adjacent Greatsword, it's mostly a shoutout to one of their influences and not really their thing specifically. Plus something that simply breaks down to *BIG SWORD* leaves a lot of room for interpretation (i.e. would Ludwig's Holy Blade count? It is quite big but also vastly different from what we know as *the* Greatsword. Plus I didn't think there'd be much pre-Demon's.)

patches and Lap are 100% the same patches. he is one of the only people to make it to the end of the world. as he never went hollow till he ran out of people to mess with and sorta lost his own self imposed purpose of punishing greedy people. he was only out for himself, so never became crestfallen risking losing himself. which is why lap reverts to kicking people off a ledge once he reverts his hollowing and regains his memories.

About the DS3 Patches thing, it's definitely the same Patches, even the summon sign literally has him called "Unbreakable Patches", same as his base game name. He's also the same Patches from DS1 just as Andre is also in DS3 and it's 100% the same Andre as he references the Giant Blacksmith from DS1. If it wasn't the same Patches we would have a similar case as Siegward who is obviously a callback to Siegmeyer but is not the same person. As for killing him in the base game and him still coming back, it's probably just Fromsoft not wanting players to miss all his content if they did kill him before and it's not like it breaks the lore or anything, he is an undead afterall. But with all that considered I'd still count him twice in this case as the dlc does enough with him for it to feel like another unique experience.

yea, i think the mortal blade is to the chaos blade as the holy moonlight sword is to the moonlight greatsword, it's given a much more important role in the story of the game it's in, while changing some of the elements of its mechanical design to emphasize the unique gameplay of its respective game (trick weapon with an L2 attack for bloodborne, extra weapon in the arsenal that can be used with an L1+R1 combat art input for sekiro)

I wish you had picked up on the Crescent Axe staple. While not as iconic as Patches or the Moonlight Greatsword, it has appeared in King's Field 1-4, DeS, DS1-3, and ER. It's never been super important or had consistent attributes beyond the name and being an axe of some sort (except for DS3 where it was a halberd), but it's there. The Karasawa gun has been in every single AC game, so it's probally FromSoftware's second most numerous callback. Also, you should play AC6, as well as the other AC games. They're very good.

I'll admit it's kind of a stretch, but I think the REDSHIFT is AC6's equivalent to the Chaos Blade. While it doesn't damage your mech, the energy waves it produces are made of Coral, which is stated to be a living consciousness, so the core idea of a sword that burns life force to wield is still there.

The Divine Dragon's sword unfortunately is not a Moonlight Greatsword reference. It is based on Shichishitō (The Seven-branched Sword), a gift from Korea to a Yamato era ruler. Its a popular historical reference in Japan and appears in tons of anime and manga like Bleach and Demon Slayer. Elden Ring even has a version called the "Death Ritual Spear"

I have to agree that the Moonlight Greatsword seems to have been heavily inspired by the Master Sword from Zelda. Similar upgrade process in many of the games to its original incarnation. Not to mention it has a very similar color scheme and the same gimmick of launching a beam/slash.

Another cool thing about Elden Ring is that technically there are 2 Moonlight Greatsword equivalents: The Dark Moon Greatsword and the Golden Order Greatsword! As a part of Carian wedding culture, queens bestow Moon Greatswords upon their spouse to honour tradition. In-game, Ranni gives us the DMGS and her mother before her, Rennala, would have given Radagon a Full Moon Greatsword, which he'd later reforge into the GOGS.

Including the chaos blade is such a bizzare decision that comes out of nowhere, you could have picked something generic like the "longsword" or "claymore" or "whip" or "greatshield that restored health" or even "small shield that excells at blocking magic damage" and you'd have way more appearances 💀
