The only thing I can think of from the top of my head is the bonewheel. I remember one of the characters used that as a weapon in the earlier arc of the manga. Sifs stage sightly reminds me of the graveyard in berserk too. Also Rickert the blacksmith. Most likely some of the armors, weapons, movesets.

The behelit (orb with scattered face parts) and the various eye orbs?

Oh, and sir Irvine and Pharis? Both are high ranking "heroes" in their own groups, and have some distinct similarities, namely their black bows and hats.

Thats incredibly striking in similarity. Like a homage :)

Griffth and (Dark Sun) Gwyndolin share very close similarities. One would be the association of the 'Dark Sun' and white clothing aka the God Hand when the Eclipse happened. Both seem to be rather hideous at a point (after Griffth was tortured) and have that effiminate appearance which makes them look androgynous, like females but are both male. Both become sort of dieties at a point.

Even the Darksign is similar, since Guts who is fights the demons, they are cursed to be sacrified too but unless someone has the brand they are effectively immortal - essentially like the Chosen Undead who never properly goes Hollow and can offer something human to regain their form and thus... immortality.

Similar but I think thats a trope of fantasy. Zodd is a character unto himself... made famous by his continuous use.

Andre of Astora = Goto
Both blacksmiths
Both betrayed by someone they wont talk about
Both have same apperance
Andre says some of the exact same lines to the Chosen as Goto does to Guts
"Leaving already? Dont get yourself killed"
