I think that Gwyn being so bright, even in the abyss, is a good allusion about his power. The first Lord of Cinder, trying desperately to hold onto a dying world, a dying flame. Yet even in the darkness, even as a shadow of his former self, he shines bright enough to break the dark.
@zerosd15ds43 Few days ago I beat gwyn right after quickly finishing the entire Dlc. Artorias' well known aggressiveness is absolutely nothing compared to the lord of Cinder himself. Maybe if Artorias was parryable he wouldn't be such an iconic boss. Because Gwyn absolutely would if wasn't for the parrys.
@@mufattm6643 I think you must already know this but the Silver Knights who fought the demons with Gwyn became the Black Knights, so that's why the OP said Silver Knights
@@SanilJadhav711 I don't think so cuz their helmets have different designs and their armor has slight differences. Silver and black are different knights
@@numbersbubble armor descriptions and a design works interview confirmed that they used to be all silver knights, but the fires of izalith charred the armors of those who battled there. Aside, it is theorized that the explosion of Gwyn's linking its the one that "added" the extra design to the armor. If you notice, the kiln is full of ash protrusiond from the blast, it's normal to think some ash also got caught in the helms and joints.
That battle between Gwyn and the Four Kings was awesome to watch with the glow of Gwyn contrasting with the darkness of the abyss. A battle against a king of light, and four kings of dark
I mean, it is 2 on 1, so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise, considering that fighting while being outnumbered requires at least some degree of intelligence (or being extremely overpowered), which the AI lacks completely (AI stands for "aint intelligent" after all). You could even say it's a 3 on 1, since you can't kill both at the same time, which you should be able to in a "normal" 2 on 1 situation. Either way the AI lacks the necessary skills to deal with such a situation.
Important to remember that this is hollowed-Gwyn, who is just short of his flame burning out. He doesn't even use his trademark lightning spear. Still an awesome opponent.
Wish we could have that sword as we see it wielded by Gwyn. Fire and all. Imagine just lighting your way through Tomb of the Giants because you have this sword.
@@savagedonut Just like the name savagedonut? Nobody gives a shit about how samey his head canon is, it's still cool. I recommend you level VIT to 99 so you have enough strength to take your lard burdened ass outside to get some chlorophyll in your !ife.
This needs a mod where Gwyn's grab just works as a punch that would deal the same damage as the grab explosion. That would even it out for bosses that cannot be grabbed instead of Gwyn having a dead attack
I love these boss vs boss videos because you realise that bosses don't actually hit that hard when you see how little dammages they do to each other sometime. It's just that the player character has far less health than a boss.
I have seen videos of gwyn vs bosses but yours was the one that I liked the most because you try to avoid copyright and because your graphics are full hd or I also like that you have humor
@@G1ga_B0w23r yeah I know. Though I’d love to see the Godskin Apostle OST played the next time he needs an OST to be played to substitute it. It’d be quite fitting and the OST itself is badass.
Quelaag did pretty good. If she had caught him in lava, she might have killed him outright. Honestly, if Nito had used his ground-stab, if seath had used his better crystal attacks, and if the 4 kings had moved around and used their sword at a better range, they'd have won. Winners: Smough Centipede Demon(with lava)
@@watchfulwanderer6443 your comment is completely worthless. It's like saying if your grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike. It makes no sense and adds nothing.
Funny how much faster the lava shreds base game bosses. Poor Gwyns crap fire resistance did him no favors. At least his lightning resistance is respectable.
When you think about it, the default player character is actually the strongest. Even if a player controlled Bosses, they would lose to a player controlling the default character because Bosses don't have i-frames, can't parry, and aren't as mobile.
Nothing funnier than watching some speedrunner video of Gwyn flying across the arena with that huge leaping swing..... only to get parried and knocked on his ass.
Could you imagine getting to the top of the church where the gargoyles are after a few tries and instead of the regular cutscene for the gargoyles you just have one of gwyn finishing them off kinda like the artorias boss fight
He is goddamn strong for a hollowed god, he only lost like two, he even fought the gods of death, fire and the four kings and he still won, I even thought he was gonna lose against the four kings after seeing smough and ornstein did. And crazy thing is he would've even closed a lot of these fights early along with ornstein smough if not for the stupid grabbing skill he has that does not work. And sorry for my mistake with the lava monster ceaseless, it was the environment as always that saved him so it was not going to be a close one. Now if he is this strong, how much strong would he be if he has not given parts of his soul and burned himself even more? He may still be the strongest lore god in all of the souls borne beating elden rings and even Bloodborne whom both have cosmic gods. And think how powerful he would be if Miyazaki added cosmic powers and lore to dark souls.
@@vyor8837 oh yes the ones above, sorry if I was not clear, I meant the ones shown in the game including astel along with the dream monster in bloodborne.
Gwyn's fire reflecting on Seath's crystals was absolutely beautiful and the finish on the Four Kings was badass. I got a good laugh of Gwyn being punch-drunk and looking for more fights after the Capra demon as well.
The lighting and deep shadows makes so many of the arenas look like entirely new places! Looks really epic! Also, unfortunate for Gwyn that he had these ill-timed graps against Ornstein and Smough. Feels like he can beat them. Would love to see multiple battles, makes me curious what the win/lose ratio would be.
Gywn would be a lot stronger if he’d stop trying to grab non grab able enemies.
ikr
Gwyn would be a lot weaker if the bosses could parry his attacks
Fr
And if he was smart enough not to run in lava.
I wonder if you could program that out.

Underated comment imo
As I read this I also looked at the part were he's walking in the abyss gotta say you made gwyn seem way more badass than he already is
Que buen comentario gracias Google translate
Deep bruh
It's his sword that makes him bright not himself 💀
I was not expecting Gwyn to look like a straight up Sunbro phantom in the Abyss, but he really is grossly incandescent
Solaire's very best non-canonical daddy!
yeah neither did i expect the GOD OF SUNLIGHT to be bright
@@serdelek8608 he isnt the god of sunlight anymore as he is hollow, his bright in the abyss is merely a spark of what it once was.
Smough blasting a huge lighting fart on Gwyns corpse is my favorite part of the lore.
LMAO
😂😂😂😂
It’s why he wasn’t a knight
Gwyn’s moveset actually makes him look like a total badass when he can’t be parried
Did you see how he ran straight into to lava, no hesitation, to bitch slap a centipede demon? Of course he is badass!!!
Like I can parry him xD
As a person who can't parry, gwyn is top 3 hardest bosses in ds1 for me 🤣🤣
Bro got the strongest roll catcher move in the game
No, Gwyn is only an easy boss because he can be parried. Otherwise, he is easily top 5 hardest in the game.

The 'I don't give a fuck' walking after winning a battle is the strongest Gwyn move.

Gywn vs Four kings is like a final battle of ages, light vs darkness.
Gwyn, "I fear no boss!"
*Sees Centipede Demon*
"...but that thing scares me!"
They seem to be aiming for Seath's head initially, probably because it's the closest bit of the hitbox.
Seeing Gwyn outside of the kiln really makes you realize how fuckin intense the lighting effect on his sword is
I miss the days when the ornstein and smough boss music was still there. Without it, the whole fight loses a lot of its epicness

Gwyn getting killed by Smoughs butt-attack and then basically getting teabaged afterwards was beautiful.

Ornstein and Smough dissin' on the poor man
Nito looks so badass in that glistening light
Smough got to do what so many employees wish they could do to their bosses.

Gwyn certainly knows how to light up a room.
Never thought i’d be rooting for gwyn
When he fought the Iron Golem it's like you're a Silver Knight watching a demonstration from Lord Gwyn lol
Smough just used 3 times his ass to crush the already killed Gwyn😂
