Everybody gangster till santa pulls out the machine gun crossbow.
So that’s where Isshin learned it from.
Everybody gangsta till santa helps you kill a hooker and a guy in a chair, time travels and gets super buff (a little thicc too), makes you time travel by touchin a girl's eggs, kills old men, attacks with his broken sword, pulls out the machine gun crossbow, becomes a god, kills you 50 times, you kill him, gives you an existential crisis about how santa is actually you and repeats your actions as the player, you explore the rest of the arena, get your ass handed to you by a guy with two swords and a faith build, and makes you cry yourself to sleep.
santa's badass

YES FOR GOD SAKE FUCKIN SYNC IS PERFECT
Here is my comment because I wanted to say that
I can’t think of a more fitting, thematically appropriate send-off for this series than two complete nobodies murdering each other in a blasted wasteland over a prize of negligible worth at the absolute End of the World.
Thank you, Dark Souls.
i love you
I wouldn't call that thing "of negligeable worth", considering it's one of the most powerful things in that wreck of a world.
Spoilers but if u go back to Gael's niece and give the soul to her then she'll start painting the ideal world. It's all upto her now. A bittersweet ending in a way.

Gael is one of those really hard fights that you desperately don't want to end. Sign of a perfect boss fight
I felt so guilty when I beat him on my third try with my OP pyromancer. Should've given him chonkier fire resistance stats, though it wouldn't have really made sense.
@@rainestar6781 I was about to beat him on my second try but I killed myself because I wanted to fight him again
I've always liked more of these 1v1 boss fights against swordsmen rather than large monsters. Demons took me like 20 tries even though they are not that hard when you learn them, Gael only 2. And it made me sad, because I was expecting so much more. The dynamics of a fight just feels so much more better when you have almost normal size enemy lunging at very high speeds towards you and you need to react in time. Gael and Nameless are imo best bosses of ds3. With large monsters its just running around half the time either them chasing you or you chasing a window to hit them.
I know it sounds stupid maybe, but i had been playing DS3 many times until i reached NG+7 just so i can fight Gael again, damn this is where i wanted bonfire ascetic exist in DS3 so people who is loving the certain boss can fight them over and over again with the difficulty spikes up..
Fr, even when I was getting my ass handed to me not once was i mad about it. That way I got more out of the boss fight.
Y’know, the main character in all of these games has to learn to stop touching random shit. It never turns out well. You get the slav knight, wolnir, all that stuff.

I never had any issues with Gael. I beat him first try in my first fight with him. Not saying he isn't tough, and you definitely have to keep on your toes, but not as problematic as some of the other bosses.

Gael making a backflip through the air while shooting his machine-gun crossbow, with lightning in the background will always be the peak of epicness in fromsoft games
For sure
this move really made me scream with impassion during bossfight

Poor software dev: "what attacks should he have?"
MIyazaki: "Yes."
Lol
poor software dev: what do you mean?
Miazaki: ALL OF THEM.
Nice. I'm actually giggling over here. Thanks.
Everyone seems to have had a problem with Gael but I beat him first try. It's generally the bosses that no one else has problems with that give me fits.
Nemesis M&M yeah we all have our strengths and weaknesses. I also beat gael on my first try and i find the king of the storm phase harder than the nameless king phase.
DS wiki: Gaels lightning attack can hurt himself
Gael after hit from lightning: *takes 1 damage*
Me: yes! Only 23,758 more times!
He actually did die from lightning on my fight he ran into those areas where like 5-6 fall and he died.
I really wanna see someone do all of 3rd phase lightning only, no attacking Gael
@Maurice Johnson Yeah, probably. There's someone out there who is dedicated enough to do it, though.
@vxlegion loki Someone already did it a while ago.
During phase 2 the lightning attacks don't come from him amd deal normal amount of damage (good luck getting them to hit him, though). Phase 3 the ones he spawns will deal a tiny amount of damage.

You and Gael are the last 2 beings alive in the world, after you kill him its just you and the sand.
Legendary Eagle
I am pretty sure is ash tho
shira? you can fight her after the gael fight
Nothing Here There's also a Ringed Knight on the left.
Elias HUE he doesnt count.
What abt the fire keeper
Gael was actually not driven mad or taking the dark soul for himself by any means! The girl in the attic in Ariandel is his niece, and he vowed to get the dark soul pigment for her so she could paint a safe world with it for humanity to live in. When he learned that the pygmy lords blood was dry, he consumed them in order to absorb the dark soul with full knowledge that you, who he had met several times, would come to defeat the maddened version of him and take his liquid blood instead of their dried blood. He knew what he was doing. He didn't go mad. He sacrificed himself so his blood could become the pigment his niece needed, knowing that you would deliver it to her. Despite what may appear to be madness, Gaels intentions were pure, and by defeating him you are giving he and his niece exactly what they want and exactly what the world needs :) kinda sad, but very heroic. Happy ending to a sad story.
EDIT: I have been informed a few hundred times now that "uncle" is a mistranslation and not to be taken so literally, as it is an honorific in Japanese. Hopefully the slurry of corrections will end now lol
i don't think they are related though
@@johannliebert445 The girl in the attic refers to him as "Uncle Gael" :)
@@Son_Of_Perdition I know man, but Gael calls her "my lady" rather than my niece or something. you might call a man close to you uncle as well
Son_Of_Perdition she does in fact call him uncle gael but to my knowledge they are not actually related.
@Isaac Fitzwilliam @Son_Of_Perdition this is because is a translation error, in the Japanese version, the painted girl refers to him using a term that is commonly used to refer to friendly old people (usually over 40), but the closest translation in English is uncle
2:42 “oh no I f-cked the world up!”
No that was Gwyn’s doing.
Indeed, Gwyn is te cause of EVERY bad thing that happend to the world.
You are both absolute morons, blaming the guy who actually saved the world that was created by the fire. With fire came death and life, cold and warmth and every other disparity like love and hate, hope and dispair etc. Without the fire all these things will fade and the world will turn into some boring gray bs full of everlasting boring things, like dragons for example. Who else, except some morons, would want that? Smh
@@RomanusAureus Everlasting cycle of repeating suffering and the end of the world is not so much better to me.
@@c-love6753 It's thanks to Gwyn and the other Lords that there even is a world. He gave this ultimate sacrifice as a last effort to maintain what he had. He's done some shit, but he's also given as much if not more for his people.
@@RomanusAureus That's exactly why Gywn screwed everything up. When he sacrificed himself, he started the endless cycle of linking the fire.
Everyone’s reaction: OH MY GOD GAEL HOW COULD YOU OH NO
The British Guy: Corrrrr you’ve beefed up ain’t ya batty boi 😂😂😂
I like the quote "I gotta get better at that, this is learning, we're doing a homework for the next time" as one of the best description of Dark Souls boss fights.
That's me everytime i fight tough bosses for the first time lol, and probably many people as well..
So I’ve played every Souls game and even repaired my ps3 so I can play demon’s souls, and I can say that now there have been some bosses I was able to defeat in one run since I’ve played so much souls borne, but honestly I’m so used to losing that when I win first try on the first playthrough it feels weird
Unless it's some cheesy ass boss like the bed of chaos in which case you just want to die irl everytime it kills you
As I was reading this he said it lol 😂
Took me two hours to learn all the phases but Gael was the fun fight in the game imo.

Gael: so you have chosen death

@@ali.h6580 now that's a bruh moment
@@oldcrusader5191 now that's a lot of damage
Gaels fight is so sad. He's an old friend that went mad fulfilling his deeds restoring an entire reality. The only way to honor him is to finish his quest, take the black soul from him and bring it to the girl. Oddly enough his own death is what he would have wanted (provided you actually bring it to her)😭 rip uncle Gael.
I think that was his intention, if you read the item descriptions, it said "gael knew that the dark soul would ruin him, that there was little hope for safe jourey home" and the fact that he helps you with phantoms and in the dreg heap, i think he was leading us to him so we could slay him, so that the blood of dark soul was retrieved from him, and the key to it all was you, you are unkindled ash but a champion nonetheless, one that could safely bring the dark soul pigment back to the painter.
@@casmsfrought9956 he believed we are strong enough to kill him even tho he had the power of all the dark souls …gael is goated
@@jurivjerdha2467 Not to mention he trusted us enough to have us take the blood of the dark souls, he knew that we would deliver it.
This was the only boss where I genuinely never got mad after getting killed by him. The fight was so epic for me that I just enjoyed the challenge of fighting him. It being an endurance fight as well just made it even better. By far my favorite boss in the souls games
Gael is one of those bosses where, no matter what they throw at you, it doesn't feel like bullshit, it feels doable no matter how nuts the attacks are.
Kinda wish Friede was like that,
@@e1357 Friede was like that for me. That was probably the boss I've died the most to in the entire series but every single time, I just kinda marvelled at how badass she is. I also found that she isn't that hard to dodge as long as you time it well and don't panic-roll.
The only fights that make me mad are gimmicky environmental BS like Bed of Chaos or the tight arena in Capra Demon. Nothing from Dark Souls 3 ever goes to that level. DS2 had the Old Iron King with the lava, though.
@@e1357 Friede is actually pretty fair if you think about it. It's just really tough to figure out some of her attacks, and the rapid speed doesn't make things easier. If anything that made it more frustrating to me. I couldn't even blame the boss for my deaths and whenever I did, the voice of reason always told me, "Yeah but you could have just done so and so to avoid it". Friede was probably the only super tough boss in this game I TRIED to blame. All the other ones I struggled with(Twin Princes, Soul of Cinder, and the Nameless King), I blamed nobody but myself. Didn't even try because I knew that I was 100% responsible half the time. Said mindset is also pretty applicable to the Ringed City so far. It's really hard, but it feels pretty fair, which makes all the Ringed Knight encounters, that much more enjoyable.
@@thesnatcher3616 Third phase friede is everything but fair
Siege was such a badass boss, loved the first and third phase. Second phase was tedious tho

Well that just made this boss even more awesome
Even after so many years later, I'm still finding out great little details like this on the internet. I absolutely adore FromSoftware and the effort they put in their games. :')

You can tell fromsoft really wanted to go all out on this boss.. the big desolate arena.. the boss’s crazy a varied move set, the music the freaking lightening! They wanted to go out with a bang!
AdvancedHybrid more like they hastily put DS3 together and called it a day.. No wonder it is so uninspired, dull and linear xD
@@wallacesousuke1433 What at all does that have to do with the fact that Gael's fight was an excellent way to end an excellent series?
SP1CE_ DR1P excellent series? It could've been way better, just like Bloodborne turned out to be (not a series, of course, but a game).. Sadly every DS game has serious issues that take away part of their potential excellence.
Anyway, as for Gael, he's not that interesting at all, pretty generic you ask me.
@@wallacesousuke1433 The comment was there more to question why the criticism was about ds3 in it's entirety, rather than the singular boss itself. To each their own opinion, but I won't deny that ds3, as well as the other ds games, have a fair share of flaws that can take away from the experience. But c'mon, Gael's theme though, you can't be disappointed with that
SP1CE_ DR1P well, fair enough, my first comment was indeed out of place/off topic xD
I'm not a big fan of fast, brute force/heavy hitting berserkers like Gael, I prefer the elegance of Friede, the Dancer and Fume Knight, but I'm not gonna deny that he's indeed a great boss, probably the best final boss in a Souls game yet.
Imagine getting killed by the lightning after killing him.
Choppytehbear1337 I’d die inside. In DS1 I killed the Iron Golem but the giant threw a bomb and killed me so I had to refight the boss
you still get the kill bruh.

@@brandenhartley1380 thats why playthroughs exist

9:26 is my favorite part whenever I fight Gael, whenever the camera pans towards the sunset in the background, it makes for a very atmospheric fight
Some argue that Friede or Midir where harder fights, but everyone agrees on one thing, this was the most epic and best boss fight of all the dark souls series.
Friede annoyed and frustrated me, Midir plain crushed my will, but Gael no matter how many times I lost it just made me want to keep fighting him, his moveset is so well thought out that you just want to keep dancing with him.
I think everyone, including me, regard him as the best because so many of the aspects of the fight are masterfully done.
His attacks and phases are so awesome and visually striking to the point where the simple act of doging him feels epic, paired with how his fighting style changes from rabid and almost insane, to a more honourable duelist, to then more desperate and chaotic. Mechanically, I also feel he's designed in a way where his barrage of back flip sword swings and launching strikes from the air is meant to consume tons of stamina forcing the player to be more wise with stamina management otherwise they have barely any stamina to attack back.
His song sounds so climactic and monumental befitting the end to the series.
The arena is so cool, it literally taking place at the end of the world and now being a barren and desolate wasteland where only dust and ash remain. It despite being so massive is used to its fullest extent as well since Gael will constantly be dashing around using more charging attacks to skewer you or knock you back.
His, character is a reference to both Artorias and Guts from Berserk.
And, finally having him as the final boss is such a thematically appropriate and astonishing end to the series since he parallels the player's characters throughout the series. Some have complained that he wasn't a character who was hyped up at any point in the series but he works so well because of this. Both the Unkindled and Gael being two nobodies who were both once of no worth and now the last two left standing, outliving all the gods and nobles and the two likely now being the most powerful beings in existence, now fighting over ownership of the Dark Soul as the world nears its end. The unkindled a resurrected corpse of a person who had failed to link the fire once and now a last resort to link the fire as the Lords of Cinder refuse to to do so again, and Gael a slave knight used as cannon fodder in the war against the dragons with no thought spared on their survival enduring through all the ages and finding purpose in giving humanity a second chance through having a new world painted. One with the power of the Dark Soul and the other with the power of the Lords of Cinder, both gaining power through the consumption of others Gael through consumption of the Pygmy Lords and the Unkindled through consumption of all their fallen foes' souls, and both to be forgotten as no-one but you will know of Gael's struggle to help humanity, and you to be forgotten to time much like the characters beforehand. I couldn't think of a better ending for such an amazing series of games.
All phases of Friede individually are great, imo. However, when you have to redo the first two ones every time you die to the third phase it gets annoying. The first two phases become a chore, pretty much, and that's why I wouldn't rank her so high. Midir and Gael, however, are both fantastic. Midir is probably the only dragon boss in the series that I would call completely fair. All of his attacks are well telegraphed and, after fighting him enough times, you can even predict which attacks will come next. Gael is not only super fun, but also very well designed and has a complex move set. Just like the dancer, I was feeling like I was dancing with him the entire time. Combine these two with the soul of cinder and you got the perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy
Friede definitely was not harder. She took like an hour to beat. Gael took 4
@@MrcreeperDXD777 gael took me like 20mims while friede 2hr in couldn't hit once in the 3rd phase, I said fuck it and used a summon for the 1st time, same for midir I was just getting sick of the chaotic endurance fight
@@dorianpompa8409 for me, friede took 10 tries but phase 3 i beat 2nd try. It is interesting how different every player's experience on the game.

Boss: *does anything*
Streamers: "WaS thAt an ArtoRiaS REfeRenCe?!"
Indeed, despite Artorias ripping off my main man Penetrator
Dudes got wolves on his armour, gets up just like the abyss watchers (I know theres debate on it but IMO abyss watchers draw from the power of sifs soul in the form of his wolf offsprings' blood, and not from artorias at all, despite the similarities, leaving his soul unaccounted for.) Both get consumed by the abyss and gael starts the boss fight the exact same way as artorias with some similar attacks if I remember correct for what its worth. There is a great wolf in the first dlc he sends you, with a grave tender but not a champion (I know artorias bones are there but his soul isnt) so again I was wondering where good Arty might have gone. I also think the wolf of farron is related to the wolves in the painted world but tbh i wouldnt know specifically how so thats a hole, but also the "Followers" in the painted world are followers of the abyss watchers. Point is, reincarnation themes are huge in this game, and reincarnations often share the same fate as the original.
Let's not forget Artorias is probably THE fan favourite and this game was made for the fans. At first release without dlc they tease that he might be the abyss watchers to get you thinking, after all, wolf's blood and succumbing to the abyss are pretty big red flags, then first dlc comes out and you realize there might be more to his soul's story than that, then they hit you with a subtle twist at the end of it all. When gael gets up like the abyss watchers second phase and I finally noticed the wolf armour. I knew it had to be the man.
I reiterate... THERE* ARE* WOLVES* ON* HIS* ARMOUR*
Idk idc but that man is artorias.
@@PhysicalBeast gael is corrupted by the dark soul, not the abyss
@@conscriptreporting6265 wasnt the abyss born from the dark soul when manus lost his marbles though? You're definately right it's the dark soul not the abyss that corrupts gael that's my bad. The dark soul and the abyss are pretty inextricably related though regardless.

He was consumed by the Dark Soul.
Not too different from someone being devoured by the darkness residing inside the a certain, dwarven relic.
One that leaves only insanity, desire and rage in the now hollow shell of the one daring to don it.
Some people seem to having issues with the fight so I'm going to leave some tips below that I hope will help:
1. Poison/Toxic absolutely deletes his health. Get a +9 or +10 Rotten Ghru Dagger and infuse with poison (or use poison resin). The toxic pyromancy is a tad slow and he doesn't stay in the cloud very long, so the dagger may be the easiest route.
2. He is weak to bleed and frost. So if your carry weight will allow it, the Irythill weapons and near infinite bleed weapons could help out. Note that for each proc, you need to let a cooldown happen that takes around 10 seconds.
3. If your stats support it, the Hollowslayer Greatsword would be a great way to hurt him. As Geal is tagged as a hollow, and in phase 2 is considered a Corruption of the Abyss. Meaning phase 2, the Farron/Abyss watcher equipment starts hurting him more too.
4. A shield is generally recommended. High stability should be your first priority, as he eats your stamina while your blocking. I like the Black Knight Shield personally, as its greatshield level protection at a far lower carry weight and strength requirement.
5. The most important thing, above everything above even, is to not act on impulse. A lot of his attacks/combos leave openings. Don't be greedy and try to get in extra hits, as that is pretty much how he gets you a lot of the time. Patience is the name of the game. He is your final opponent, so there is no reason to rush the fight.
I hope these little tips help someone who needs it!
Hey man, thanks a lot, I just got to him for the first time, and these are really useful tips 😂
@@KicsiSzabi222 Its no problem, I just like helping people in the souls community. Primarily with the more punishing sections of the games, or helping beginners not get farmed by twinking or far more experienced players.
you forgot one, getting good
@@nyngaming5744 That is basically tip #5, except I explained how to "git gud". Don't be greedy, and learn the attacks and openings of the opponent, as it helps you far better than the other tips.
Personally I learned to stop phrasing it like that long ago as the meme does give me a little chuckle. But it really doesn't help anyone if you don't explain what you mean or what entails "getting good". And that is the purpose of this message, to help people who love the series or want to love it but are stuck and frustrated.
@@Fibonacci11235 I just stuck with the dagger as you can spam it really quickly, rather than wait for a fog cloud to finish. As Geal never really sits there and waits to be poisoned. But that's not saying I doubt you at all, I just find the dagger to be a lot safer option. Especially at NG+8 where he 2 shots you with most attacks. I definitely don't want to stand there and take anything the old man dishes out.
But if you can find the opportunities, it is technically the better option I do agree.
Seeing Gael charging at you across the arena after dying to him is terrifying.
No-one mentioned the side-flip mid air repeating crossbow into the overhead slam?
THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING!
DarkRager I know....that's the only reason I clicked on the video to be honest lol was dissapointed
Feels bad man ;-;
Anime af
they lost fuckign voice in that moiment :D
Too bad when you get the crossbow it's garbage
"Freaking hell he's got Zeus on his side"
I loved the fact that he said that in such a calm voice!
Captain Ozannus His comments were the best
When?
@@benireges 15:39
Actually, he gets damaged and harassed by the lightning as much as you do....
Well yeah he's calm because Zeus is pathetic compared to half the bosses in this franchise.
Still absolutely love the transitions between streams, flawless execution man amazing editing work
"Flippin hell he's got Zeus on his side..."
I chuckled.
Zeus died a long ago but somehow lived on when the flame of Olympus started to fade
the transitions are really fucking smooth
right? this is super well edited.
Ethan Mallari lmao maybe even too well edited i thought someone dodged a roll and right after he rolled he transitioned into another person that got hit lmao
yeah really fucking good
"Flipping hell he's got Zeus on his side"
Bold of them to assume he isn’t Zeus
@@gatorboiy5269 Bold of them to assume it's Zeus and not some Japanese deity.
@@asdergold1 bold of them to think he is not a op old man
@@theguardsman5358 *bold of them to assume he is a man*
All of your comments are priceless
The greatest question ever: "Is this the blood, the blood of the Dark Soul?"
I love when Gael tries to give up in phase 3, but then your fighting THE DARK SOUL passed on since the dawn of Gwyn
*encounters last boss in a game where every single boss has at least two phases* 'What? He has a 2nd phase?'
Has to be new to the series
@@magerage5979 It's not even the series. Literally every boss in DS3 has multiple phases, how can you not expect it?
@@floofiekun1875 the Twin Princes had one as well.
Isn't darkeater midir considered the last boss
They always have second phases but not all of them have multi-phases. She probably said that cause she only brought the health down to a 3rd and realized there would be another one later
"8 ashen flasks"
Painful, utterly painful.
I think you mean 8 sippy cups
I run with zero Ashen flasks lmao
Yeah no ashen here I'm legit guts from berserk just focusing on my strength and vitality
@@yungshino3330 Same
Is it acceptable if its you're first playtrough ?
As a newbie to the series, coming to this boss felt like a sin honestly. I felt like I came across something that wasn't meant for me, like I desecrated a grave and somehow managed to kill what was sent to punish me for doing so. But it also felt like I was fighting somone on a similar journey as I, a lost and dark soul, looking for something and achieving it with violence that saw no prejudice.
This fight was one of my favorites, simply wonderful, the music, his moves, his story (from what I could understand), the arena, everything. It felt like I was at the end of my journey, the end of everything. And all that was left for me was a fellow champion who was consumed by his own goals. The cherry on top is his weapon was my signature one for most runs afterwards.
I really like how you do the switching between perspectives. Not just showing the same clip 15 times with the different reactions, but actually having a progression across the clips, makes this infinitely more watchable than most reaction compilations. I very much appreciate it.
16:46 *THAT FRAME IT'S THE MOST EPIC THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN DARK SOULS HISTORY*
Best part of the fight for me
Have you seen Gael vs. Nameless King? such a fun fight to watch and the cinematics are fucking awesome, looks like a sick movie or anime.
@@LuisCastillo-rt5nk watched it a while ago but yes I agree its one of me fav Souls VS match
RIGHT?? I thought the same thing
THAT and 9:25
Opponents: "attack when its safe"
Gael: " hold my beer"
Zack Beland I played with this guy that was in NG+20 I’m on NG+4 Gael PUNISHES you good for being greedy with hits just like MIDIR one hits you
No moment is safe
@@oHITMAN14o My beer... Go on, take it... Hold it...
Asa Gervais i see what you did there😂😂
16:09 How did Pontiff let this person get that far?
You dont have to fight pontiff in order to fight this one :) although you have to fight sister friede, which imo is much harder :))
@@rarestomuta5909 true
Rares Tomuta You don’t have to fight Friede to fight gael
@@bosnia7429 yeah, well to do that you need to get to the area before SoC, which requires you to beat Pontiff
deth incarnate I’m talking about fighting Friede not pontiff
what I love about both Slave Knight Gael and Ludwig: The Holy Blade is how both go from being wild beasts to honorable warriors. seeing them both stand tall after coming to their senses brings me to tears everytime.
I love how this all starts because the Ashen One was like, “must touch shiny thing!”
More like
Gwyn: no dar bad light guud
Me fuck up the way of the world because dark badge and ligh guudge
7:22 that was a sick cut nice
Smooth as fucking silk
still smoother than Havel armor
12:48 tho, I barely even noticed because of the cape
Mr Lakiro holy hell that was too smooth
The saddest part is that Gael’s niece doesn’t even know you killed him, and that now she’s just left there, alone, in a burning world. If only we could save Gael instead of killing him, a true happy ending.
A detail I love about this fight is that since he’s still using the the Executioner’s Greatsword (just rusted, broken, and larger) he uses the weapon art (the attack where he puts the sword on his back and spins around)
Also love that I noticed this on my own since I used the Executioner’s Greatsword in all my playthroughs and that I noticed he uses the EGS whenever you summon him for the Sister Friede fight which lead to me even noticing the detail in the first place
One time I was fighting Gael with the Cathedral Knight greatsword and I used the helicopter weapon art against him, only for him to immediately do it right back haha. It looked so sick in sequence, like a dance.
Hand him over, that thing, your subscription.
For my lady's channel
This is gold lmao
"Ahh, is this a dislike? A dislike from the ungrateful viewer?"
Enters second phase, teleports instantly and, with the epic music playing in the background, proceeds to utterly wreck a disliker with a swordspin from behind.
...Just a moment, then... My channel of youtube. Well, rotted scrap of it, that is. Go on, like it, subscribe it.
Omae wa mo...
Still friggin' cool how Gael is able to manipulate the Whitestone to summon himself behind the player.
Yarutai Rikaichi I never noticed that! That's pretty fucking awesome
is that really what he's doing?
TheLastSliceOfPie yeah you can briefly see a summoning sign where he teleports to
TheLastSliceOfPie
yup
In the 20-30 fights it took me to kill this man he never once teleported, I did not even know he could do that
Gael is one of those bosses that after beating him you just want to fight him again
Man, when I fought Gael the first time I was overwhelmed in chills and got completely amazed and stunned with the fight and ambience. How these people are so cool with it is beyond me.
i'm a simple man. I see a video of me. I click
Dark soul Gael You're a really cool boss.
why thank you good sir
you sir have become a legend
Hey you one shot me on NG+7.
well here's my advice
GIT GUD
4:17 “The only red hood I know is Gael, but he’s been helping us this whole time” famous last words
Solaire memories back on my head
7:58
Dude ngl I really thought that was a smooth transition with the dust having the characters roll in the same direction in the next clip, that’s awesome
15:41 You can see how Generation Hollow enjoys the every bit of this :D coolest guy among all of em imo
12:50 can we all take a minute and appreciate that beautiful transition?
Hecc or 17:38
I didn't even realize it until i read it, jesus that was smooth

NO LMAO
...yes.
Arrow to the Knee I once was an adventurer like you....
"I will beat you with the power of the dark soul, god, weather and this *gun* that i found."
"He has got Zeus on his side"

You wish.
I wish this happened, never wanted the fun to end.
Nuts
*gnome mode activate*
That's just pure torture
Gael is one of the best character dark souls ever had so far,yes he appears out of nowhere that's the fucking point.He is not some famous hero or god that the game keeps teasing you as the ultimate savior who once defeated the ancient dragons or created the age of dark,he is a fucking NOBODY just like you he is some noname undead who fought his way through all of this shit because he may have found a way to break the cycle by creating an entire new world with the help of the painting girl.
Being old and wise he knows eating the dark souls will make him insane and that's exactly why he guided you to this future where he is known as the red hood and become one with the dark souls filled with dark lords souls and pure humanity the exact opposite of the soul of cinder who is an amalgamation of all the glorious Lords of Cinder.He choose to sacrifice himself and fought for so many years that the ringed city turned in pure ashes , just so we could try to break the cycle and make a new world but no one will ever hear about his name and that he is the reason why we have this pigment for the next painting world.
Noice
It’s poetic how Gael is a nobody just like you, fighting an epic battle that will decide history, yet no one will ever remember, all on a damned world
@@anythingatall7670
This Epic battle between two nobodies, the End of the World, the Legacy of Dark Souls, let it all fade into nothing.
For its just a living nightmare.
ngl since you called him the red hood, i just thought of him just killing random criminals in gotham
That’s a great piece right there!!!
You should consider becoming an author 👍🏻
We not gonna talk about that smooth as heck transition at 11:02 ?
Editing on this is phenomenal
All the effort made to sync-up all the footages is amazing !
15:39 "Flippin hell, he's got Zeus on his side"
*flippin hell
@@notsotone846 thanks for the correction!
Can we please talk about how flawless the editing is?! I can't even tell sometimes when he actually switched to another person lol
Gael is like that drunk friend in the party that wants to fight with everyone.
6:46 that is the coolest way he could have pronounced gael
-Please don't be another Friede
>*grins*
Eh, IMO Blackflame Friede is quite a bit harder than Gael
Crazy Wolf Gaming Yeah. even with 3 people helping, gael is still a massive threat to everyone, especially in phase 3. The amount of time's I've seen a summon or host get killed by his flying attack is crazy.
I mean past ng+4 50% my summons got one shot by gael atacks
Crazy Wolf Gaming How about not bringing people? She's harder solo than any other boss in this game (in my experience of course, different people find different bosses tougher).
Mitch Fletcher Solo for sure, with summons hell no. The fact she staggers easily makes her easy to stun lock with more than one person. Gael is pretty easy solo but with summons for some reason he's way harder.
The crossbow into slam is one of the most cool looking moves ever
UltimateFeeling agreed,especially with the souls and lightning flying everywhere
It looks so overwhelming and awesome
"He's all cut open; he's lost a few fights."
The fact he's standing there and fighting means he did get cut open but did in fact NOT lose
The way he shoot his machine gun crossbow while jumping around is just so cool.
Not only are each of the let's players fights skilled, but the transitions to each players fight is so seamless. To understand where each let's player is in their fight, and to use the boss' attacks as a transition from player to player. How they all eventually overcome the boss' combos. It's such a beautifully made progression. A viewer can see multiple tactics to fight the boss' without having to watch multiple videos. It's great overall content Sniatch.
Tyler Deeringer all except that bitch , she fucking sucks

And thus, the thumbnail of every single Slave Knight Gael video was born.
I'm a weeaboo because I play Fire Emblem. Aye I see that cammila pfp
You're not a weeaboo because you play Fire Emblem, you're a weeaboo because you have Camilla as pfp and not best girl Hector
Lucoa oho!
Lucoa
I used to have hector as my pfp, but I changed it to Camilla to make it more accurate.
It also looks like another Berserk reference. That's the stance Guts takes up before demolishing his enemies, and he even wears a black cape that fans out behind him
I love how it even shows the backstory of the boss they are about to encounter, adds that extra touch of awesome to the video
This editing is PHENOMENAL. Absolutely seamless, I love it!
“The red hood has come to eat us... to eat our dark souls.” Damn Jason I know you’re angry with Batman but this seems extreme... even for you.
Bruh hahahahahaha
i love the moment when some of them realize the Artorias's reference...
irvanCrocs That's not a reference thou.That's a conceptual Irony.
Too bad noone references penetrator.
Jerome Talor now you mentioned it, he is the first humanoid boss in souls series...demon's souls needs more attentions..
And also too bad no one catches the Guts' reference.
Beast of Darkness reference
This is one of my all-time favorite boss fights in any video game. I just love everything about it.
Also, great job on the editing!
Juuntas is a man after my own heart, mans using twin axes and loving everything second of it
Jesus Christ! I am more amazed at your editing skills than this boss fight right now.
So fluid and smooth, does not hinder the exciting momentum at all.
12:48 “Nothin’ personal, Kid.”- Slave Knight Gael - 10,000
I adore the transitions from one reaction to the next. They look so smooth, as if their one reaction.
