Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".
Link to the comic for your convenience
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: The stones that the Chosen Undead is following (planted by Lucca and Travis) are actually in most Soulsborne games. In Dark Souls, they're called Prism Stones. In Elden Ring, they're called Rainbow Stones.
2: Hal Emmerich has apparently looted a Lancer weapon from a Gears of War character.
3: And the display on said Lancer tells us that Hal has 69 bullets left. Nice indeed, Spirit of Gotham.
SECOND PANEL
4: On Hal's Lancer, we can spot a Lancer (from Deltarune) emblem. The original owner had a sense of humor, it seems.
5: The 末 kanji is visible on the Chosen Undead's chest! Glad you noticed it despite the panel missing in the Patreon post, fictionfan0.
6: Yes, all three non-Souls characters are weebs and/or geeks, so it makes sense that they'd be hyped to see all the Souls characters fight, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends.
THIRD PANEL
7: Balthazar is watching the Soulsborne protagonists from the bushes in the background! Good catch, The Negotiator.
FOURTH PANEL
8: And Miep (not Meep) is watching the Soulsborne bosses from a similar position as Balthazar. Seemed like she somehow made it back onto the island, Green Dragon 53.
FIFTH PANEL
9: There's a lot going on in this panel. One of the things I consider a hidden detail is the fact that Melania is about to perform her infamous Waterfowl Dance, a move that is very hard to avoid and can instantly kill many players.
10: A second thing I consider a detail is the fact that Isshin the Sword Saint, who wields a gun in Sekiro, gets shot in the face by the Bloodborne Hunter. Sweet, sweet irony.
11: The Bearer of the Curse (Dark Souls II protagonist) is trying to heal by consuming an Estus Flask. Unfortunately, he's also getting a lightning bolt hurled at his face by the Soul of Cinder.
12: The Slayer of Demons and the Chosen Undead are roll dodging away from Artorias. Soulsborne games are famous for their rolling/dodging mechanics.
13: Also, this week's loss is visible in the pink Prism Stones that get launched up in the air! Glad you noticed it, Generic Hero.
SEVENTH PANEL
14: Sekiro, impaled by Malenia (not Malanya, that's from Zelda, Pokedude14), is slowly gliding down her sword. Poor guy. Wonder if he resurrected shortly after this panel.
15: This week's crewmate is visible in Lucca's helmet antenna, which mysteriously changes hape in this panel. Found by Cameron Devera.
EIGHTH PANEL
16: Jigglypuff is watching Lucca, Hal and Travis being carried away by the Master Hand from the beach. Just put her there because the panel felt a bit empty, Jon Brouse.
Details that have not been found are marked italic.
