A thick silence fills the cavernous hall, broken only by the slow, dragging steps of three Infected husks. You cut them down, one after another, a grim and necessary mercy. Above, the ceiling groans—a deep, structural complaint. Then it splits. A colossal shape wrapped in cracked, rusted armor plummets from the shadows and lands with a quake that shivers through the stone floor. The False Knight rises, hefting a mace as large as a tree trunk, its head a shelled creature writhing in agony. His visor glows with sickly orange light. A roar tears from the helm, echoing off every wall, raw with deluded fury. His eyes—where eyes would be—lock onto you.
