The Forest of Bones

[minus]

I know we only have, like, one screenshot of the Forest of Bones, but man it just looked so cool. There could've been so much potential for creative enemies and bosses, and the area has a really cool, spooky aesthetic. I was hoping we'd get to see it fleshed out in a DLC one day, but based on a recent interview it seems like we'll never be getting it. Oh well, I guess.

honestly if a game has cut content that isnt the fallout new vegas type of cut content then idc.

it was a design choice

The Forest of Bones was where the Ancient Basin is now. They cut it because it didn't make sense to have an area full of lava directly over the huge hollowed out chasm that is the cold, dark Abyss.
Still, they could have probably put it somewhere under Deepnest and it would still make sense.

Ever wonder why ants seem to be absent from the game(other than the twin ghosts in Queen's Garden)? Well, the ants were supposed to be in the Forest of Bones. Not really sure why an ant colony would live in such a place though.

Fire ants maybe?

I know. It still would've been nice to put it somewhere else though. Other than the boss fight there, I found Ancient Basin kinda boring. I would've liked something like the Forest of Bones to counteract that elsewhere.

There is a significant amount of space beneath Deepnest on the map, and putting the Forest of Bones there would have made the bottom of the map feel less empty.
Of course, part of the reason that part of the map feels empty, is because originally, the Hive was supposed to go there, but then it was moved to Kingdom's Edge.
...
I just thought, what if Midwife is an antlion? She exibits similar behaviour at least.
Putting the Forest of Bones under Deepnest just makes more and more sense.
