The End of Dark Souls

- Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, is the final boss of Dark Souls and the one responsible for the tragic state of the game's world. The finale to Dark Souls is one of the most memorable moments of any game and for good reason; it is fantastic. It has been such a joy to talk about Dark Souls and it is the best narrative I have ever experienced in a game.

This is the last section. Nearly a year of work finished. I'm going to combine all of these videos into one big one so look forward to that. I will be revising and adding where I feel necessary so I hope those additions make it worth your while even if you've seen most of these vids:) Have a great day!

Awesome job
Can you make one for dark soul 3 and the dlc.
I can really feel the influence of Shadow of the Colossus in DS last area.
I really need to play the Team Ico games.
@@LavenderRex7705 please do!! If you like the level design of DS1 at all you gotta play ICO
@@LavenderRex7705 believe me. Those game, just like dark souls, are they own jorney
@LavenderRex7705 dark souls is in my top 3, but sotc is my favorite game of all time. If you love being awed by a game, and amazing atmosphere, you need to play it asap.
Just do yourself a favor, and play it on ps2 or ps3.
The remake is beautiful graphically, but it butchers the atmosphere in really important areas, and animations too. Changes the entire atmosphere, and emotions felt through the original art design.
Imagine a higher fidelity dark souls remake with brighter colors, and a realistic art design that no longer makes it feel dreamlike. There's a lot more to say, but I hope you get the point.
@@hcrisis I totally agree. The remake is meh. BluePoint butchered Demon's Souls as well, let's hope DS1 is not on their list lol
seeing you struggle with the black knights and gwyn makes me thankful for the silver knights in new londo who taught me how to parry.
Great series! Love how you appreciate every aspect of the game :)
Great videos man. Hope you get lots of views
I binge watched your videos on this game and I gotta say this is some stellar stuff dude. I love analyzing video games that I like on my own without caring about what is "correct" and coming up with my own interpretations and it always makes me joyous when people share the same sentiment
Ahh then followed by a nameless song. ❤️🔥
No other game has made me feel the way dark souls has. And no other game will.
Pls do more of these i love them
I just finished watching through your whole Dark Souls analysis series, im a huge fan of your speculation and input on the world and story of this game, ill definitely be sticking around for any further videos you put out and definitely hope you consider doing a series on Dark Souls 2 (as unpopular as that game might be nowadays), I'd definitely be interested to hear what you have to say about that game in particular as its my favorite of the trilogy.
Tower of Babel insight blew me away. Thanks for that. I have never taken the time to observe the environment because I'm so stoked for that fight. It is unique, isn't it... On the Babel note, I wonder if that isn't the key to the philosophy of the game: the champion / lord is limited in the ability to recreate or redeem because he is always a part of the fallen tower. Anyway. If you want to keep on with Dark Souls 1, there are those very subtle differences in the game in the replay-through, no?
And this is why dark souls 3s ending where the fire quietly fades into the new age of dark and humanity is my favorite you aren't the conquering dark lord here to claim all of humanity under your banner and forcing them to submit like Gwyn did all of the humans are quietly baring witness to the end of the age of gods and an unknown beginning of the age of dark and humanity for them to make something of themselves in this new uncertain age no longer being forcibly prevented by Gwyns manipulation and continuation of an age that should have ended eons ago
too bad about how the rinnged city dlc ends
@@francisyankovic what with providing the painter the ability to paint a new world for the forlorn I don't see how that's bad at all
@@animeproblem1070 i was referring to how by continuously linking the fire naught but ash remains
@@francisyankovic yeah and now that the age of dark has begun the world can rebuild you do understand that the dlc you go into the future and by returning to the past your character can change what the future holds
@@animeproblem1070 yep i understand that its kinda neat
So, now onto the others. Also parrying is not mandatory, I feel like parrying him is just anti-climactic and fighting him normally is like a real challenge a true final boss worthy of the game dark souls 2011
Greats vids dude
glooby gloob gloob
YEAH
Please start making videos on more souls content
Would love a Dark Souls 2 one
When/If you do DS2, will you do original or SOFTS? I always felt SOFTS murked up a lot of stuff from the original, so thinking on how that may affect examination
Dark souls 2 review next
now do dark souls 2!
bro game had like 3-4 dumpster fire zones. Blight town, Lost Izalith, Crystal caves with those invisible bridges and 10 hours runbacks, Tomb of Giants with no light.... Game was very unfriendly and tbh unfun because you died and had to run back a lot, a running simulator. The good zones like Firelink Shrine -> Undead Burg -> Cathedral all 3 linking up with the use of the elevator was great i agree but lets not pretend like 50% of the game is not unplayable, its a barely finishable game for a normal/casual player.
now do demon souls
Your video about Lost Izalith was recommended to me and I proceeded to subscribe and binge the entire series, all very insightful and well put together. Excited to see more rambles!
same
I'm so glad i discovered this just in time to see it end. I love all of these videos. I think you have put into words many of my feelings towards this game. I hope you talk about souls in the future your style of videos is so great. Thanks for making this series man.
Gwyn's boss theme, to me, feels like a companion piece to Souls of Fire (the title screen theme). Souls of Fire sounds mysterious and dreamlike, but also hides a strange sadness within itself. The looping in the song is noticeable, it changes some things each time but it keeps hitting the same motif over and over again... Gwyn's theme is the same way, except that it feels as though the sadness is all that's left. Souls of Fire has a variety of instruments it uses throughout, but in Gwyn's theme, the piano is all there is.
The looping in both songs feels somehow wrong, they prolong themselves unnaturally just as Gwyn has prolonged the Age of Fire. And in the end, the tragedy is laid bare, because everything except the tragedy has been lost to time. It's gone hollow, just like Gwyn has, just like the player is fated to. Somehow, it feels like both of these songs perfectly capture the essence of Dark Souls.
Thanks for making these videos, they capture the way I feel about this game pretty damn well.
2:00 it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down…
ok flesh mecha
Nah gwyn aint a villain, he created paradise and was afraid to lose it. Plain and simple. Anyone wouldve done the same.
@@franilovic4139 A paradise for the few is not a paradise at all
@@LavenderRex7705But gwyn was the one who established the civilisation that once prosepered and sacrificed himself for humanity because he feared everything would go extinct when the age of dark came except pygmies. The bad thing he did is linking the flame out of desperation and not letting the world he knew go. You really cant look at gwyn as an antagonistic character because as far as i know most characters are in that grey area, neither good nor bad. Except patches, he can burn in lost izalith.
Aldya literally says Gwyn committed the first sin and DS3 says it was him linking the fire that made the world stuck in a cycle. He is the villain
@@orxy5316 He is also the reason the dark souls world exists as you know it and why countless heroes after him are still linking the fire and loyal to his cause. Aldia just has that perspective because he tried to cure the undead curse and couldnt as far as i know, and he hates the "lie" gwyn created
It begins with ash in the form of ash lake and the kiln, and ds3 ends with ash in the ringed city. Perhaps, at the end, Gwyn realized that both Fire and Dark would fail and the striving of both frampt and kaathe would be for naught. Gwyn is Hollow when we fight him, indicating he has lost hope in his purpose like Siegmeyer or Anri. He has lost hope in the tradition of linking the Fire. Or at least, that’s my headcanon.
Its insane to me that this released the same day i beat dark souls for the first time it was perfect ty
He plin
He plon
Most importantly
He gone 😢

As long as you keep ramblin, we'll keep watching!
I discovered this channel a couple days ago, and have completely binged every ds1 related upload. I love how this channel is just you talking about not only the story of ds1 but also your own thoughts on the game/npcs making every video more personal which is pretty different from most "souls lore" channels which I feel like are pretty copy and paste if that makes sense. Im wondering if you're gonna cover any other souls games if you do plan on continuing these types of videos (id love to see anything related to ds3). Anyway if you do end up reading this hope your day is well and love your vids man :)
i light the flame because its what solaire would have wanted :3
hell yeah dude
planning to do videos like this on other games? (maybe the best souls game? dark souls 2:scholar of the first sin) big fan of these vids
big fan of dark souls videos that remind me of how i felt when i first played the games
is this irony? 😭😭😭
@@dahdumbguyI like ds2
@@jakobduke2949 i like ds2 too but we're a rare species these days
Now we are three brothers
This series was great, especially the earlier videos like sens fortress. Im feeling motivated to buy dark souls now.
Love this content on dark souls
will miss this series
Remember, Dark Souls 3 is the direct continuation of this story and the conclusion.
I will be talking about the entire trilogy. Dark Souls 2 is a departure but I still feel it is important to talk about the games in order.
I have enjoyed your videos. I hope you will do the other Dark Souls games. Because Dark Souls II is the best souls game am I right??!?!
Ok darksouls 2
I hope you do the same for SotFS!
Its now time to talk about the goat game! Dark souls 2!!!
Calling the kiln a "clear allusion" to the tower of babel seems incredibly disingenuous. Get off your high horse and call it a theory.
Google tower of babel for more information
It looks pretty similar to me, but it also looks like someone needs to learn communication skills and know how to give positive criticism without sounding like an asshole
I only see one high horse here
