Updates[]

Enemies[]

There aren't many references to unused enemies in the game data. Most are only mentioned once, in the text for enemy names.

I	Name	Notes
	Blightborn Orobas	Mini-boss version of Fireball enemies (Charite, Pyrite, and Infernite).
	Four'd	Mini-boss version of Plant enemies (Weed, Tweed, and Threed).
	Skobin Hood	Mini-boss version of SkeletonArcher enemies (Skarcher, Skranger, and Skranger Danger).
	Slog	Mini-boss version of Slugs (Slug, Sluug, and SLUUUUUUUUUUUG).
	Notget	Tier 2 target. Has an image, but appears to be unused.
	Bossget	Mini-boss version of targets.
	Cu-Sith	Mini-boss version of Wolf enemies (Warg, Wargen, and Wargenflorgen).
	Estuary Zillah/Adah	Referred to as a mini-boss version of Zombies, but this doesn't mean they would have been zombies as other bosses are referenced in a similar way (e.g. Murmur is categorised as a mini-boss variant of Sword Knights).

Heirlooms[]

Unused Heirlooms[]

Icons and text from the game files, for Heirlooms which aren't used in-game.

Icon 1	Icon 2	Name	Description	Notes
	-	Hestia's Reliquary	Your soul is bound to Hestia's Reliquary.	Likely a precursor to Hestia's Contract.
		Curse Strike		These may have been icons for Thanatos' Wrapping (just below).
-		Eggplant Food	"There's a surprising amount of meat in here."	Related to a scrapped questline. A developer said: Originally there was a lengthy quest related to eggplants but it ended up being too complicated to make it in for launch, so it got scrapped. Probably won't be coming back, sadly (source). Eggplants are featured often in the RL2 world, including in a framed picture, on banners in The Stygian Study, in the text of journals, and discoverable by dedicated explorers.
-	-	Tartarus' Key	Gain entrance to the Imprisoned.
-	-	Thanatos' Wrapping	All attacks now Purify. Attacks destroy Cursed Projectiles.
-	-	Gilgamesh's Deluge	NOTE: Gilgamesh has Future Sight, the Deluge is a warning of the flood to come. You can see objects hidden in Spacetime.	Likely precursors to Gilgamesh's Anchor.
-	-	Gilgamesh's Exodus	Hold [Interact] to activate Anchors.	Likely precursors to Gilgamesh's Anchor.

Alternate Heirloom Icons[]

Some heirlooms also have alternate, unused icons. Here's a list of all the icons, both used and unused.

		Aesop's Tome
		Ananke's Shawl

NPCs[]

Image	Name	Notes
	Clown	See Clown for more details. (Note: This image is from RL1 so it's just here for reference.)
	Wandering Musician	More details on the Musician page.
	Curio Shoppe Keeper	Early Access players will know this character well, as he was next to every Curio Shoppe. The filename suggests it was also a placeholder for the Architect. View a screenshot of the Shopkeeper here.
	Maria Placeholder	Placeholder for Maria the Pizza Girl.
	Wooden Dummy	A higher quality version of the Training Dummy model used in Rogue Legacy. Likely used as a placeholder for Lady Quinn.

Objects[]

	TempAbilityStatue_Spells
	TempAbilityStatue_Weapons

Pickups[]

Image	Filename	Notes
	PlayerDeath_RedStone	Likely to have been precursors to Ore & Aether. The PlayerDeath part of the filename indicates that this would have been shown on the death screen, when your kills and totals are tallied up.
	PlayerDeath_WhiteStone
	BlacksmithShop_Blackstone	Found in a folder named "blacksmithshop_old", which seems to contain placeholder Blacksmith shop graphics. The name suggests that "Blackstone" may have been a precursor to Ore.

Runes[]

It looks like the ArmorBreak and MagicBreak rune names and icons should be used for the CritDot runes.

The blue and red tear icons (for MagicCritDot & WeaponCritDot) are also seen in the unused Bane and Bleed status effects.

In the game files, there are icons and sets of text corresponding to Scar challenges that don't currently exist.

Filename	Name	Description	Hint	Memory Title	Memory Text
Boss Rush	A Broken Betrayal	Defeat all the Estuaries.	(In the chilling sea winds, a figure stands upon makeshift platforms bored into the western ramparts of Citadel Agartha). (The platforms, bored into the walls in advance of the battle that lie ahead, creak in indignation, as the figure walks up to the edge. With one last step, the figure silently drops down from the makeshift platforms, falling into the fog below, as they barely catch another platform hidden from sight.)	Jonah's Memory	... There was no other choice... ... Sacrifice a few to save thousands.
Boss Rush Remix	A Fated Future	Defeat all the Prime Estuaries.	(Same as the hint for an existing Scar, "Divergent Dimensions")	Eupraxia's Memory	Irad is building an army, but the King hasn't come down to rescue us... This isn't an army for the King... Irad is building a coup, and we are the fodder...

Description

EnergyBounce

EnergyBounceSpell

Shockwave

Blast enemies away with an audible wave.

Hold to aim. Goes through walls. Destroys Large Projectiles.

Replaced with the Shockwave spell in the current game, so this is likely just old art rather than an unused spell.

?

BoomerangSpell

Maelstrom

Summon a cutting blade of wind in front of you.

Status Effects[]

Image	Filename	Notes
	Bane	Appears as part of the icon for the unused Brittle Rune. Also used for the "Exhaustion" debuff, in the Early Access trailer for the Dragon's Vow update (timestamp), on the Glossary page:
	Bleed	Appears as part of the icon for the unused Shearing Rune.
	MagicUp
	DamageUp
	Flight
	Combo	The game re-uses the "KO" icon instead of using its own. This may be a bug.
