Gwyn's Fortress can be another area that you would have to travel back in time to reach. Gwyn's Fortress would be the name of the area as a whole, with each zone being named independently. Some zone names that come to mind are Fortress Keep (First area, black knights err'where) , Gwyn's Armory (Stronger Black Knights along with Elite Black Knights), and the maybe the final area would be so deep in the Fortress that you're very close to what the Fortress was built to guard (maybe what creates the Black Knights IS the boss?
)
Fortress Keep's level design can be similar to that of a medieval castle, but with a heavy black knight theme to it (large suits of black knight armor as decoration, ect). The twist to this area is that the black knights are currently at war with the Chaos Demons (the ones mentioned in the description of the BK weapons. They posses some form of chaos flame powers or pyromancies). The zone can start off in an open battlefield that leads up to the Fortress (black knights and chaos demons litter the field, black knight archers on top of the fortress fire down on the area). Keep in mind you're an enemy to both groups so no one is safe. Once inside, the fortress is populated with Black Knights, that slowly
introduces new Black Knight weapons (Claws, Hammer, Spear?), aswell as some more Chaos Demons.
As you
progress the black knights gradually overwhelm the chaos demons in numbers. The boss at the end
of the Keep can be 'The 4 Horsemen' (4 Unique Black Knights that ride
horses? Perhaps taking attributes from the original 4 horsemen War,
Death, Famine, and Pestilence).
After that boss the next area would begin, Gwyn's Armory. Elite Black
Knights are encountered here in packs with black knights, making this area pretty challenging
. Maybe they can buff up nearby black knights with a war cry? (Grants them new moves to accompany their basic moveset, maybe a lunging attack, a grab, ect). Maybe a new Elite Black Knight set can be found in the area
. The boss for this area can be a really agile Black Knight archer in a fairly open battleground (Unique abilities like tumbling / dashing to avoid hits, charge up shots that go through shields / have better tracking, a multi-shot special attack, ect).
The last area can take a drastic twist and turn into an ancient ruins area - the true area the black knights are guarding. Styled after the Kiln of the First Flame, but since its in the past the whole area hasnt been damage from the original linking of the fire. At this point the boss options are limitless
