- Simply a tribute to Dark Souls 3, I owe it to the game.
5 years have passed since it came out and I still remember every second of playing it for the first time. Simply a masterpiece.
A very special game that has been a fascinating experience, a journey through the darkness to ascend to the light. A game with an incomparable soul. The end of a saga. My favourite game. Also I hope Elden Ring has the same essence.
I hope you liked the video ashen ones . Subscribe and drop a like.

Dark Souls was a game that saved my high school final exams. I got some shitty topic about mansions in books, but I had only two.
So the Professor wrote something on three pieces of paper, I choose one and gambled death in culture media.
I was talking about Dark Souls. How real death in man life is not dying. But lack of purpose, abandonment of our goals and people we live for is a true death. When we are forgotten by others. They just sad there stunned by what I said, but said nothing.
I won this gamble but I meet the sane profesor who gave me second chance on the same day. He asked me why I talked about a video game.
I almost let tears drop when I remembered rage on this game. Impatience to deliver next strike. And quitting before huge challange before me. But in life you cannot just "quit". I had a shit and fucked up life in my early years. At the same time I remembered how Lorentius didn't wanted Chosen One to go hollow, Adre the same. How our Onion knight's were always happy to see us.
I learned to value a few, true friends I have, to cherish a moment, to move forward no matter what and teach the same lesson to others that need help. World is a bad place but we don't have to go alone. We're together in this and from this moment. After the exams that I passed, I told myself I'll never go away. I'll never quit from what is my goal in life and never abandon my friends.
I responded with just six words that left this man speechless:
"It teached me how to live..."
Thank you Dark Souls, thank you Miyazaki and Thank you Miyura. For giving this masterpiece.
Sorry for this long story. Don't you dare go hollow all of you 🍻
S tier comment. Gonna pin it.
@@ChihiroOfAstora Holy Shiet. I didn't expected this. Thank you 😅
You got me teary friend, may the sun shine upon you!
Brought a tear or two to my eye. I understand that feeling and lesson gained entirely.
Don't you dare go hollow, friend.
I am so blessed to read this here, thank you.
This game changed everyone's life who played it. Every FromSoftware game taught me to never give up and never stop trying.
"Once more is the war cry that Dark Souls tries to teach you" and I will only say 1 thing to all my fellow Souls lovers, "Don't you dare go Hollow"
Even if one is born from the darkness of the abyss ... Doesn't mean ones destiny is controlled by it and thy will be thine own and thy feet walketh the path thy chooseth
All the players who quit... Gone hollow. I wish they could have a system when quit player characters are present as hollow enemies
@@thecompanioncube4211 Thats a great idea sir
And praise the sun...
praise it
the "ashen one, hearest thou my voice, still?" absolutely killed me, keep up the beautiful work
Praise the sun
Always my love, always
To have that one voice....even when there is nothing but darkness.........
Ashen one, link the fire
@@naraku2842 funny enough she says this in the ending where you dont link the fire
I did it for the Knight of Catarina who fought bravely by my side, until the end may the sun shine on him wherever he may be…..
Anri, Greirat and especially Siegward's quests touched parts of me I didn't know were there.
NG +3, will always aid Onion in his quest to fulfil his duty. No slab glitch for this one.
@@TheStraightestWhitest For me it was Patches. He who never changed....He who made it to the end. Patches let us know it was truly the end of the dark souls series...
*A fine Dark Soul, to you.*
Long may the sunshine for anyone who helped him complet his quest!

Dark Souls is a series that I think everyone (even those who hate games) should experience. It is a series that helped me escape depression in high school and is the series that made me choose a literature major. I recently did a research paper on Bloodborne (a huge gamble since it’s worth 80% of my class grade) and ended up getting a A+ on it. I think if a game can impress a literature professor then it shows it’s quality.
Yes indeed, this game can impress even people that don't play videogames. Glad you got an A+.
is there any way someone could read it?
I too want to read it!
I’d be interested in reading as wel
I would love to read it as well!! I’m sure it’s great! :D
DS3 was my first dark souls game.
It changed my life.

You know, i could write a book on my dark souls experiences. My grandfather is an old Vietnam vet. He found demon souls on ps when it came out and kept pushing me to play it. I kept putting it off. Finally after ds3 came out i bought him the game as a present but played it myself. Together we've beat every game together over the last 3 years over and over. He summons me for help at times but he finds his way to cheese every boss. Watching him kill bosses that no guide on YT can teach you with a bow got me to say one day "grandpa you're a damn cheater.". His response will always lay with me "yea well this game fucking cheats" as he killed the nameless king 1st phase with just a damn bow. Me and him always hated prince lothric. I killed them 20+ times for him as it was the only boss he couldnt find his own way to cheese. To hear that dialogue on the opening of this video just captivates me. We all have stories of this game i suppose. But me n my grandfather share such a deep bond of this series its hard not to want to share it with others sometimes. To see people's faces when they hear my 70 year old grandfather knows the souls series in and out is hilarious. Thanks for the video my friend, for it let's me remember these great times. Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin.
Thanks for sharing this incredible story of yours, i hope you and your grandfather enjoy elden ring alot!
May we meet each other on our paths through this tough life
Cheers Bro
@@wainfowest cheers! I'm afraid my grandfather's fingers won't be able to keep up with such changes. Demon souls he was an absolute master at while 64 years old. I wasn't playing at the time and he couldn't get past a boss. He found a summon sign and summoned a Chinese man who could hardly communicate with him. They used Google translate to accomplish the boss and that man would always help my grandpa in time of need after on his old ps3. I joined my grandpas journey when i bought ds3 for 20$ because i knew he liked demon souls. As a younger man than him i was faster to pick up pace and learn to love the series starting at ds3. He went from demon souls to ds3 at the age of 68. Couldn't even kill ludex for first 10 characters but after that he learned to cheese up to abyss watchers. Hed make 5 characters and level them up differently. Ide be called over to play for him and get a few chars past a boss for him. He'd see how i did it and get past that boss on whatever character was built the best. Then delete ALL his characters and restart with a character that didn't need my help. Once he hit a roadblock on that character he'd make a new one until he had 5 characters stuck. Ide come over, kill pontiff 5 times of 5 random characters and say my goodbyes. He'd call me up the next day "yea i deleted all those characters and made a new one but i beat the pontiff without your help.". We went to ds1 after ds3 and now he is playing ds2 over for the 10th time. He learns the easiest button combos and laid back approach (hence 70 years old now). But he will always make it through. A man old enough to see his body go hollow before his mind could. Its something i don't take for granted.
@@wainfowest also, never underestimate a 70 year old in ds3 pvp. My grandfather just assumes every invader is an npc. Ive seen him try to get real players stuck on npc boundaries so he can shoot them with range. He refers to real players as "wtf is this stupid thing" as he r1 spams them as they go to wave. He'll kill them and i go "grandpa that was a real player" with him not understanding the fact a 70 year old just smashed a twunk build replying "oh well, i didnt know.
@@bloodyhelice4284 hahahah thats the funniest thing ive heard all day hhahaa, thanks for sharing
@@wainfowest Thanks for taking interest enough to read! Its just a journey between my grandpa and I. Born in this digital age as youngsters many of us didn't get to connect to our elders through video games. I was blessed in that sense. My grandpa brought me into runescape during devious mud days pre 2001 release. Diablo 1, Diablo 2. Warcraft 3 and Warcraft 3 tft. My grandmother beat max payne 1 and 2 in her early 50s and i played with her. Mind the fact im only 26 and got to live a life of no restrictions on video games since the age of 3 its just a story worth sharing. Imagine youre grandmother introducing you to gta3 in her 50s.
We all just knew it was "only a video game" but until me and my grandfather met the souls series we didnt know that games can go beyond that.
Omfg. You did ds3 such an honor. This could be a trailer for it. I fking cried. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.
Haha, glad you enjoyed it that much, praised be the sun \[T]/
@@ChihiroOfAstora let the sun shine upon this lord of cinder!
@@ChihiroOfAstora what song is this that’s played in the background? Also awesome video
@@goomba07 Thanks man, the song is "In this shirt"
3:43 That awkward moment where you chased another titanite slab and found feelings instead.
How did Overwatch win GOTY over this?
I ask myself the same question every day.
@@ChihiroOfAstora it’s quite the peculiar thing I gotta say
Probably because of ds2 not being great so ig they didn't think ds3 would be good. Who knows really
Because the game reviewers couldn’t get past Gundyr
@@RCMPGuythunder prolly got to the cathedral n rage quit 😭
When you just hear ”it’s popular because it is hard” you don’t get it. There is something missing. Games that are hard need to stand out in some way. I played Dark Souls out of curiosity and felt the world to be so alive. It felt real but is also felt haunted. I played the game and understood some of it but I still didn’t get it. I played it three more times and then Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3. Then it clicked. It’s not about the challenge. The challenge is only a part of the atmosphere and world building. This is one of the most thematically beautiful stories ever about going against all odds to find a purpose in a world that is dying. It is only at the end when the game let’s you make the decision on what you believe is right.
Beautifully said, it genuinely brought tears to my eyes reading your comment. Dark souls 3 was my first intro to the series and it always gives me a sense of peace and hope whenever I try something new. Every challenge I face learning anything new I always remind myself, as long as I’m persistent and keep trying I will achieve my goals. Dark souls drilled that into my head and in turn I learned to overcome them. Like learning manual (stick shift, still learning by the way) or looking for a new job, applying over and over, interviews after interviews, I kept going to the next one even when the previous interviews said I lack the experience, I kept going and was rewarded for my persistence by learning rhythms and patterns of a new routine, or new skills by asking and redoing them to understand them. I’m really glad I found this game, when I was in a dark place this game helped me find solace and beauty in the darkness, but the fire inside me guiding me to keep going, that fire/ambition (that Elden ring also kept drilling into me). When I got fired, I kept it together until I got home and spiraled into depression, kept applying to jobs, worked at lower paying jobs just to make ends meet, barely but I did it, I just kept believing that if I tried and tried again I could make it again. Until one day I got my job title at a different location and survived once more, my friend sat me down and said “you seem stronger, like there is this fire.” I told her the termination destroyed my self worth as a person and it was very dehumanizing, being told I wasn’t good enough and getting kicked out. And she said something that literally made me have flashbacks of the game and I cried in front of her. She said “when they kicked you out, you were trying so hard to make a fire. You made a spark that turned into an ember. I saw you applying and I understood that as nurturing the ember. Slowly you worked your way back up and that ember became a flame. And look at you now” and I genuinely heard the fire keeper say “ashen one link the flame” and everything just made sense. To this day whenever something good happens I will says under my breather or shout, “praise the sun!”
I know that was a lot but when I was depressed, this game genuinely helped save me. It will always have a special place in heart. Don’t you dare go hollow. Praise the sun.
Thank you for reading
“Goodbye, then. Be safe, friend. Don’t you dare go hollow!”
*enter hysterical sobbing here*
See, I firmly believe that video games are a medium of storytelling and art that is unmatched and the depth of emotion one can feel from such an interactive experience has not been achieved by any other medium of entertainment. This is precisely why everyone loved Dark Souls. Beyond the difficulty there is art. Shame that most games we get anymore are multiplayer and mosh pit stuff.
Based, dark souls is just so deep, it's art.
"But is it the challenge that makes them so exciting, or the artistry, hiding beneath?"
Finally, I’ve always thought this way about video games but I haven’t heard anyone else share the same view. That is why I love them so much
@@ethanabramov6345 its everything
This game is ART,it teach u to not surrender versus adversity,no matter how many times u try,if u pursuit ur goals,u will catch it,thx for that,and thx FromSoftware for such an amazing series,help me through my depression,PRAISE THE SUN!!!
KINO
Dark Souls is one of my main inspirations when writing my book. It is one of the reasons why I am motivated to create my own "painted world". Thank you for this experience, Miyazaki.
Dark Souls 3 is the best game i've ever played, no game made me feel as i did at the end of this one, my first Souls, it was punishing, i gave up a lot, but kept going back to it, after finishing the game, i immediately started crying, because i knew i could never experience that again, Gael still makes me emotional to this day, what an experience
Damn, this kinda made me sad, knowing that I’ll never be able to get that experience of playing Ds1 and Ds3 and get that first time experience! Such amazing games, great memories with a lot of random people
Bro this hit me fr
Well we got elden ring, and it’s basically Darksouls 4 in a way! So we got that to look forward to!! Just 39 more days!
@@pluschy7886 Don’t you dare go holllow
I have good news, live long enough to get Alzheimers and bam, first playthroughs here we come again!
is two really that bad?
dark souls 3 is my first and favorite souls game, probably my favorite game of all time.
Game helped me through severe suicidal depression, showed me no matter how hard, I am making progress, I am pushing on, marching on, fighting still, and in the end, 5 years later, here I am, stronger than ever
Best souls game and one of the best games ever made
At 4:19 it gave me goosebumps!
I am really touched from this, truly a beautiful work
Glad you enjoyed it :)
crying , sobbing, shaking
In all seriousness... I hate how misunderstood DS3 is, it's the only game in the series that excels in how it presents it's themes. The emotional impact of it isn't just through superb gameplay, but a completely mesmerizing world at the brink of collapse and death. The art direction peaked in this game, too.
You are not the only, whom life was changed by this game, my dear sunbro
🐐
Dark souls taught me that no matter how many times you fall you must get up and fight for one day will reward you
God damm*t, I was scrolling through my feed for elden ring stuff, and I found this absolute gem, and now I'm crying, we'll all miss souls games, and the beautiful memories that came with it.
Same here!
Dark Souls indeed, changed my life, it helped me going through my own struggle and depression. You did this game a justice
hawkwood's lines hit different after all of this oh my god
I love this game more than other people can imagine, I love how eygon says about irina that she's useless, but he still protects her till the end, I love how the onion bro kept his promise with yhorm till the last moment, I love how Hawkwood seemed to be desperate to live but he proved himself in the last moment of his life. I suffered from depression for a long time, and this game brought me out of it, it's not just a game to me
My god… i cried when i saw it. But for the last time… Praise the sun…
This game saved my life.
“For the videogame that changed my life”. Ty for this.
Man this really touched me, I can confidently say that this game marked a before and after for me. Thank you for the awesome work
Literally crying rn, this work of art brought so many memories back of me and my siblings playing it for the first time. Not joking, im crying while i type this
Greatest game series of all time.
I play these games, not because I enjoy difficulty but because I understand the inevitability of difficulty and refuse to let it conquer me. I may not conquer a challenge as well as others, but I will get through it no matter what.
This game has only one really weakness: I can no longer enjoy other video games the way I did enjoy dark souls. Dark Souls is true art and way more than “just a video game” in every aspect.
Very nice Video! :)
Out of the many games I played during 2021, Dark Souls 3 has to be my favorite. Despite never struggling with this game, I’ve had an insane amount of fun playing this game. The graphics are beautiful, the combat is simplistic yet detailed, the narrative is incredibly consistent with everything screaming at you that the end is coming, the bosses are all so uniquely designed and have vastly different settings and themes, you could practically see a completely different story from each and every one of them, it’s why the Abyss Watchers are one of my favorite bosses in video games, everything about that boss screams a tragic story. Every area is so well-detailed, each with a different setting and theme, the NPCs are amazing, Siegward might be one of my favorite video game characters of all time because of his jolly personality, and the reward for completing his questline; fighting alongside him to slay Yhorm, to fulfill his promise. This game has so much replay value from all the kinds of builds you can do, and all the weapons you can try out, not to mention that Weapon Arts add a unique flair to the more generic looking weapons. In the short amount of time it’s been since I first started playing Dark Souls 3, I’ve fallen in love with the Souls games, if you can look past the insane difficulty and challenge, you can see a story that could only be woven by Miyazaki himself. This game has changed me forever, and if I could go back to when it started I’d do it all again.
May the flames guide thee, Ashen Ones. Mayst thou thine peace discover’t.
I am at loss for words.I'm just sitting here, watching this, and crying.This masterpiece made me remember the joy I've felt playing with this game.Life's been hard for me lately, and yet I'm still here.This game taught me to not give up.Thank you for this video, and I hope, that we will be able to experience more of these kind feelings. PRAISE THE SUN!
Praised be the Sun, friend.
Damn, that edit at 4:15 so perfectly captured that moment between Yhorm and Siegward so well. The sound of commitment to the promise. Great work man.
This is such an amazing edit, I found it only a few days ago but I've watched it multiple times just because of how infectious every decision is. The music choice, the quotes peppered throughout, the mix of cinematics and real gameplay, the mini-story being told throughout. I can truly tell that this game affected you just as much as it did me and I really appreciate that you've used your talents to create an homage to one of the best video games and game series of all time. I definitely need to go back and play DS3 again, making sure to do all of the quests, listen to all of the dialogue, enjoy every morsel it has to offer.
Truly a masterpiece. I enjoyed every minute of the franchise, especially 1 and 3. I don't have any regrets about the hours wasted on deaths during my first playthroughs. I still go back to the boss fights which I saved in a separate folder whenever I feel low. Thank you very much for this tribute 💙
Damn what’d ds2 do to you 😭😭😭
"Oh dear... Another dog-" - Prince Lothric, Last Hope of His Line.
I hope someone sees this and will spread this message in some way. The Many things about dark souls. You get lost in this beautiful masterpiece. Get attached to characters. Yet you still have to say goodbye. Not the kind of goodbyes where you don’t see them again it’s the ones where you say “Don’t you dare go hollow.”That’s the sad part about dark souls they do go hollow. And you see them again over and over but they don’t remember. Making you lost and making those dear friends you made on your first journey. At least you get to experience to seeing them over and over again and the possibility of saving them. That’s probably one of the beauties of dark souls. Dark souls isn’t just a video game it’s a something you move away from reality to be lost in dark souls instead. Hopefully this would have the same meaning for other video games that other people enjoy. Honestly video games is probably what helps me get through shit. Most of my friends usually don’t talk to me or accidentally exclude me maybe even on purpose. Video games in my opinion gives me happiness and makes me feel cured and feel alright again.
This is by far the best tribute video I've ever seen
by far my favourite game of all time, the experience ive had going through every area, enemy, item, weapon, boss and each piece of story i could find. The finale in the endless wasteland fighting gael is the best moment ive ever had in any media and ive felt no joy like defeating him finally with my heart almost going out of my mouth
Firekeeper: ashen one hearest thou my voice, still ?
Me: allways
This is my favorite game of all time. Thank you so much for this amazing edit.
As soon as the music stopped right after Gael threw the corpse, and the Siegward scene started I had to like the video. insanely good.
This game franchise saved my life.
I was intrigued and obsessed with the challenge and difficulty of the game. And after playing it, i realized that my mental health was actually better. Because it taught me that struggling was good. and subconsciously i started realizing that, so i seeked challenges to face in my life. Ones that would fulfill me.
After that, i started working out, stopped fapping, and became so much more than i could have imagined back then.
Now after having played Dark Souls I, II and III, Elden Ring and Sekiro... i have truly become the best version of myself. I meditate, journal, read, workout, do nofap, eat clean... all because of one game. Dark Souls will always be the center of it all. Because this miraculous, beautiful and mystical world... Has truly changed my life.
To anyone struggling out there, think about this game. Think about all the struggle you have gone through in real life and in Dark Souls. Is that really worthy of giving up? all of this for nothing?
no, it was for something, and that something is beautiful. You will make it, we will all make it. Thank you for this incredible experience.
This game changed my life, thanks for this edit
Will never forget getting through pontiff even when I thought it was impossible and wouldn’t ever get past him, ng+ 37 now I love this game so much
gived me tears every time
this is an amazing edit
I never thought that i'd cry so much for a videogame, this legendary game will never die for me and i'll play it again and again... this videogame isnt just a random videogame, it brought me and my siblings together and i still remember how we used to play it for the first time. This video brought so many memories back, and i just wanted to say. Thank you fromsoftware. Thank you for creating the ds series. Thank you for bringing me abd my siblings together. Thank you for creating not even countable amounts of memories.❤
Dark souls 3 was the first souls game i ever touched... Helped me a lot get through depression at my 3rd year in university. I had no interest in going out i had lost my interest about studying i had lost interest even in getting out of bed in the morning and when i did i only played video games. Dark souls 3 made me realize that even in a hella shitty situation i should never give up and try to fight my way through it. I only wish i could erase my memory and play it for the first time again
That was beautiful.
Thank you.
what you said in the last few seconds - was on spot! DS3 was my first dark souls game and for ever changed my view on video games. It'll always b in my mind :)
This game impacted my life in such way that it change my ways of thinking and attitude towards everything that I've been through and still am going through and I'm forever grateful for what it has showed me.
this made me tear up man, thank you so much for this masterpiece
I'm 23 years old and struggling with existing. I always had a struggle for a long time, it wasn't anything new. However playing dark souls gave me an experience of a lifetime. Everything I felt about growing up was so poetically expressed, I couldn't help but shed tears after many of my playthroughs in soulsborne. As I cling to the embers of my humanity, I hope I can be strong, but most inportantly remain strong.
Stay strong and know you aren't alone
Even in the wake of Elden Ring's success this game still echoes in the back of my mind. I love Elden ring but I don't think anything will ever top Dark Souls to me, at least not in the genre of souls. If I end up being wrong then God bless whoever manages to pull of a game that gets me to question my life more than this one.
I just finished the game, literally right now, and I have to say that Dark Souls 3 is one of the best games i’ve ever played in my life. Everything in this game is perfect, really an amazing experience.
I love this video, it is so evident that you made it pursuing perfection, and I must say you reached it
Thanks man ^^. I'm glad you see it that way. Dark souls 3 it's my favourite game and i tried to made this video as best as i could. Praise the sun \[T]/
Fue un honor el haber tenido la oportunidad de jugar este gran juego , gracias por el tributo recorde muchos momentos nostalgicos
This is awesome man, Praise the sun!
Absolutely beautiful, made me tear up
Damn, this is very well done. Great work.
I think Dark Souls is something that made me grow like a person. Thanks to it I learned the culture of effort, the real meaning of friends and what's really to be a person, to live and have the chance to love and be loved. Really this game saved from the depression.
This is my favorite video on all of TH-cam, you managed to put all the magic of Dark Souls in a wonderful way. Every time life gets cold and heavy I come to watch your video to get emotional. Words cannot express how this franchise makes us feel.
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
@@ChihiroOfAstora No maan, thank you for creating this piece of art! 🤝
Just got tears watching this. Amazing work.
Sometimes my friends at work or wherever will ask me what types of games i tend to play, and I'm like "oh idk, i like dark souls". But i am never able to express how much dark souls means to me in that sort of context. So much more than a game.
I just platinumed dark souls 3 and had this playing in the background. Man i feel accomplished. Thank you for making this video.
This is probably a lot to unpack here but Imma share my story. When I first heard of dark souls I was always told it’s one of the hardest games you can play. My first boyfriend tried to introduce me but I was afraid of failing in front of him so I always declined. Then one day we broke up, it was cordial but dark souls was something he told me that I should try. I was always unsure. And then I started getting depressive mood swings, I was showing symptoms of depression and symptoms of PSTD from my childhood, I gave up easily on everything, and would find myself just laying in bed trying to find the will to get up and do something. My anxiety got worse to the point where I would not eat or drink, the longest I went at the time was 3 days no food, and 3 days no liquids, it was really bad. A friend caught on and got me to eat and drink, one day I met a man, we were about the same age, we became friends and he introduced me to Dark souls, he told me to try. I was unsure but he was persistent in a respectful manner, and I caved. So I bought the game, and he told me the tutorial boss is something he couldn’t help me with. I thought he was being weird and I tried and boy, did I get my ass handed to me more than once. He heard me cuss and scream and rage quit, but I wanted to play with him, so I kept trying, and trying… and trying. I did it, and we were reunited. Over the course of the game I had my highs and lows and I started to see how it was like a coping mechanism for me. In real life I struggled with my depressive moods, my ptsd symptoms and my lack of ambition to keep moving. And I learned quickly from this game, that everything is trying to kill you, we face death everyday, enough to leave you broken. I had a pet die in my hands, it was graphic and I was fucking broken, so that quote hit me hard. I remember dying over and over to bosses struggling to beat them much like how when I get depressive I fight the will to self destruct, some days I win and some days I lose. But much like my character I eventually overcome, and I learned to celebrate the victories no matter the size. As long as I’m persistent and learn I can overcome which is what dark souls drilled into my head over and over. I only ever played ds3 but it holds something special to me. Whenever I’m stressed or struggling to not self destruct I pull this video out and find myself trying to crawl out of that hole and survive. I learned what it meant to lose yourself and go hollow, and I didn’t want that for myself. And anything or anytime I felt something good in my life such as achieving a victory or finding a new skill to help me with my PTSD I learned to praise the sun. Thank you for reading I know it’s a mouthful, but to all the players I met, to my partner who convinced me to play, to my family and friends, LONG MAY THE SUN SHINE!
We will not go hollow!
Praise the SUUUUUUUN!!!
Watching this video and seeing everything I've done going through the game made me realize how much it truly changed me. Hell after first beating the game I cried.
Wow! What an amazing tribute to the game that impacted all our lives. I'm so happy to have played it. So glad to have been part of this community.
I really love this. Really.
I don't have enough words to describe my thoughts out loud.
Magnificent
You know very well how to gave someone chills and make someone cry, was a beautiful video, this game gave me more than any other, and makes me know that no matter how many times you try it, you can face anything.
Such a lovely video, I thoroughly enjoyed it
Its fantastic seeing the kind of experiences other people have had with a game that I myself had my unique experience with.
I think its incredible how someone could tell another souls fan that they themself is a souls fan and an instant bond would be formed solely due to the fact that the two know the experiences the other have experienced and that the other has something to relate to in those experiences.
To only be as good of a friend as Sigward is to Yhorm. May the sun forever shine.
You're making so fantastic videos. Those are the best tribute and acknowledge to fromsoftware.
goosebumps. beautiful video, beautiful game
It is beautiful! Thank you for that!
Wow the goosebumps I had watching this... amazing video
this is the best dark souls edit I have ever seen oh my god
I watch this every day I feel and understand your pain Dark Souls 3 was the first one that I played there are so many times I just wanted to quit but I am so glad that I didn't the journey that I found was absolutely out of this world and worth it
Don't you give up now, you got a flame to re kindle chosen undead.
i cannot word how much i love this video big bro. thank you :)
oh god this made me tear up. DS III is amazing and so this video... thanks😩💓
This was absolutely beautiful, thank you for making this. A lot of people look down on game lovers thinking it's silly to be so connected to games, I love them for the fact that games have way better acting than any movies I've ever watched. Metro Exodus, Tales of Berseria, Read Dead 2, etc. All had so much emotion and playing the game for awhile makes you experience so much more emotion that an hour or two movie. Even though Dark Souls has vague story other than reading lore or waking up to kill things, the game gives people emotion when sad things happen, like Greirat's quest. They build you up with a nice character who wants you to be safe out there, him surviving Irithyll Dungeon gives you hope that he'd survive the next one but the caring man meets his fate..(That wasn't Patches' fault, he was killed by the Gargoyle that was stationed near the jump.)
this was such an spiring video! loved so much that I decided to make the same but with Bloodborne! thank you for remember me of how good is to coexist with these masterpieces.
This brings me to tears it is so beautiful. Praise the Sun!
this is awesome man. this is awesome man.
now I have top rerun the game for the 1000th time. Great video
I'm late but this series means so much to me coming all the way from demons souls it has pulled me through dark times and elden ring is my metaphorical sunrise over that dark horizon
The lore is amazing piece of art 👌🏻
DS3 was the very first Soulsborne game I ever played. I’ll never forget the countless memories I have of overcoming obstacles and messing around with friends in it. Dark Souls 3 and the rest of the Souls series has left a profound impact on my life.
Greatest game and series of all time.
I really love the game it helped me trough so much i wish you all the best and dont you dare go hollow my friend
