When I saw Vendrick. When I pulled that lever the messages said not to. When I stood in awe at the skeletal dragon. When I first stepped into the dragon aerie. When I traveled back in time. Those are the best memories I had in the game. But fuck those ruin sentinals.
My most magical moment in dark souls was walking out of the tutorial and seeing the sun. It was like walking into a new world. As compared to the other games i used to play
+Cokemonster when i walked for the first time into the Shrine of Amana when i walked into the memory of the ancient dragon the first time i fought the lost sinner beating the fume knight for the first time
This was just on point. Absolutely loved every second, the flow, the black bars-cinematic feel, the 60fps goodness.. you have the esthetic feel for things that I don't find that often. Your editing is absolutely awe and praise worthy. Please, keep doing what you're doing, you're amazing
No matter how long it's been. No matter how many times I see this. It always makes me tear up. That's how you know you've made a thing of beauty. Gafwen, please never get rid of your channel. Even if you don't upload anything ever again (which I've seen you have a few in the last couple months), just never get rid of the channel. We can't lose precious things like this, or your other more meme-y 'build videos.' They're works of art and beautifully done...
I would never be able to explain how hard I needed this video. Dark souls 2 was my first soul, and for ever my favorite. Thank you for this, now, at this very moment, this is what I needed.
I love this so much. I just spent an hour trying desperately to find it after forgetting the title and thinking it was lost forever. Thank you for making such a beautiful thing.
This game was my childhood. But not only the game itself... Also the amazing youtubers that were involved with this masterpiece. Otzdarva, Sunlightblade, Gafwen, Iron Pineapple, ThePruld, PvPskillz, Praise the sun, Krazy, Limit Breakers, Mrnosec, Oroboro, and many others. This is for you.
I have a feeling it will take a while before a game series can even come close to comparing to the masterpiece that is the Souls games. These games have made the last 2 years the best years of my life :D
+Cheesy You make so many friends playing Dark Souls. A couple of the people I've gotten really close to I literally met while doing summons on the Iron Keep bridge. People say the community's horrible, but when you're a part of it you see the truth. We all help each other.
Riley H. Yea I've been able to interact with a lot of really cool streamers who are really good at the game. It makes me happy to see get to meet some awesome people who love to play Dark Souls as well.
Gafwen, your work is some of the best I have ever seen on TH-cam, and I watch a lot. You have to keep this up. Stay strong, and even you, good sir, could go far life with this. I don't know what you plan on doing in real life, but if it's making videos, don't give up. This is amazing, I can't explain in words how amazing this is. I too, plan on being a TH-camr, and to be honest, I wish I had your video making skills. Good luck, friend.
I'm still surprised how this game is the most hated out of the series, i guess its just because miyazaki wasnt in the crew and because its the "b" team developing it, its instantly bad. Or maybe people simply just disliked it because of its flaws but anyways i always thought it was very much on par with previous releases.
why this made me cry..? cause the more i played DS 2 the more i realised my life is almost the same.. i feel like ive lost everything.. m, family, my love, myself.. i Fell into a dark pit of nothing.. i fought and lost over and over again.. but sadly i Never won.. my Chile died.. my love, loves someone else now.. my "friends" legt me.. i tried one last time but i dont have enough faith or strength to continue.. games are the last thing that i have.. and recently i played dark souls 2 and everything came back.. i dunno what to do.. i just want someone to talk.. someone who at least likes me a little bit..bis that really too mich to hope for.. a friend? a normal life? ...another final love? i just want a happy end please..
7thChild Gaming Don' t go hollow dude ;) dark souls teaches us something beyond words, memories forged with fustration and hope, you know you can be okay ;)
watchin this again in 2017... Still makes me think back to the old good days of Dark Souls and still makes me cry a bit. One of the best tribute to Dark Souls ever
Since the moment I subscribed there has not been a day where i don't appreciate this channel. Gafwen, i thank you not only your contributions to TH-cam but to the community as well. So let's celebrate Dark Souls but also celebrate Gafwen
i have raged,died and hated this game so many times in the past adn even, but with your help,with your video those memories... those defeats bring joy to my heart, because in the end even if we fall we rise again from the ground adn we beat all ods,cause in the end thats what we are, we are fighters,we learned not to give up on fear,not to give up on the difficulty of one level or the other, we learned not to give up...on death.Thank you, cuz all those times,all those memories have came back to my head and make me smile after a long time,and i've still not gaven up, and i will sure not gone start, my fellow undead, please, do so as well. Because after all the pain and the anger and hatred there is......... joy,there is happiness
Found your channel a week ago and been watching some videos and now this. This is just beautiful. Your channel deserves more subs and more people should see this. Almost made me shed a tear!
This is absolutely beautiful, so much nostalgia. Playing sotfs the now but couldn't help but remember going for the platinum on the 360 and my first play through. You truly done the game justice with this video! Keep up the great content! Loved this
Wow, such inspiration. I might just go and play Dark Souls 2 again, and this time, with a story behind the character I create. I'm actually going to include this below if you wanna read what I'm thinking about. I'm going to start off as a cleric who believes deeply in a god, and channels that belief into strength. But the further I go into this world, the more I start to doubt my beliefs. Soon, I forsake the very god I believed in at the story, and start using hexes. When I reach the final bosses of the game, I finally realize what I was fighting for, and walk away from the throne; renounce, the throne. I take the three crowns, and become a GOD. Become the very thing I once believed in, but no longer. And now, I wander Drangleic, hoping to find another undead to end my suffering. But sadly, that is no longer possible, as the crowns preserve one self from going hollow. So I wander for all eternity, in an endless paradox. I start to think about how I got here, and think about how it all began...With a plunge into darkness.
Fuck this was beautiful, awesome, touching all at the same time, and it's all 100% on point. This is why you're my new favorite souls channel. I hope when dark souls 3 comes out you'll have plenty of vids to offer. You're amazing.
I don't make comments on youtube. I find them fuel to an often redundant fire. That said, this was an absolutely awe-inspiring production. I recently got into DS2, and I hope you keep producing content because it's community is still growing. Subbing in hopes I see more quality content from you like your previous videos.
I was in search for a video that describes my feelings towards Dark Souls... i think i've found it in here... thanks for this beautiful piece of memory
Absolutely loved this. You deserve hundreds of thousands of views for this ;_; ... Please keep up with this quality of work if you want :) You many not have a lot of viewers yet but surely you know how to truly entertain and touch our hearts :'D LOVED THIS !!!
(Gafwen, though I do have some selective opinions on this game) Thank you, this video is frankly beautiful and gives credit where its due and this video really means a lot to all Souls Fans cause it states why we all enjoy the souls games. Again thank you for this beautiful piece of art!
When I first stood on the bridge leading to the Guardian Dragon, and saw the scenery on the side. When I first fought the Pursuer When I first met Vendrick When I lit my first primal bonfire. Those are my memories of the game that make me remember how great this game is.
And the ending made me want to cry because it reminded me of almost every game I've ever played and how they're all previous to me in one way or another... fucking art at its finest right here.
Watching this after Dark Souls three just makes me remember all the good times on ds2. Gank spanking, chilling, making friends, killing. It will be missed.
So.. is this a safe place to say that I love Dark Souls 2?
We're all safe here :)
RevampedCobra73 The word "safe" and "Dark Souls 2" do not belong together in the same sentence.
For all of the hate I have for this game, which is a very large amount, is made up for the love I have for this game. I think we all feel that way.
It's so safe that I can said dark souls 2 is my favourite souls.
I love you too
I'm not crying, it's just the smoke from the bonfire.
Some Berry you are not the only berry..Giant dad 2.0 :)
Best comment ever
When I saw Vendrick.
When I pulled that lever the messages said not to.
When I stood in awe at the skeletal dragon. When I first stepped into the dragon aerie. When I traveled back in time.
Those are the best memories I had in the game.
But fuck those ruin sentinals.
Cokemonster Worse in Drangleic Castle, I had no idea that there were Ruin Sentinels in almost every single door....
My most magical moment in dark souls was walking out of the tutorial and seeing the sun. It was like walking into a new world. As compared to the other games i used to play
+Cokemonster
when i walked for the first time into the Shrine of Amana
when i walked into the memory of the ancient dragon
the first time i fought the lost sinner
beating the fume knight for the first time
Ok but seriously tho...
FUCK FRIGID OUTSKIRTS
Really like the font you used, mind sharing it?
Also awesome video.
Iron Pineapple Bebas Neue, Mom's Typewriter, Optic Fibre. Also, hi! :D
This video, and your channel, is underappreciated. IT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION GODDAMNIT
Lazy Lino Thanks, means a lot :D
You know you have played too much Ds2 when this makes you cry
Omg thank god I'm not alone there. I thought I was the only ine
+Chesky Maker ya
+Chesky Maker Genuinely made me cry... Huh? How about that.
+tysej4 Can you elaborate? Your english confuses me!
+Chesky Maker It was more of a speculative statement aimed at myself.. Don't mind it.
This was just on point.
Absolutely loved every second, the flow, the black bars-cinematic feel, the 60fps goodness.. you have the esthetic feel for things that I don't find that often. Your editing is absolutely awe and praise worthy.
Please, keep doing what you're doing, you're amazing
MrNosec
Gafwen this is a beautiful video it really touched my heart thank you for making it :)
MrNosec Same man, same. ;(
MrNosec this video make me cry every time that I watch it :'(

Two years later, I still watch this religiously
Bob Builder same
Dude
Its time to watch it again. Again 2 years later, bro. Its time.
@@rodorez It's time
Dark Souls 2, the best, played 100times 1000+ hours, thanks for this great tribute.
Understatement, but I like this video. Helped me through some dark times. Thanks. And... Don't you dare go hollow!
Falling does not make you casul
It is not getting back up that does
fucking right son!!!!
Every year or so I am reminded of this video and come back to rewatch this masterpiece.
high five my man
No matter how long it's been. No matter how many times I see this. It always makes me tear up.
That's how you know you've made a thing of beauty. Gafwen, please never get rid of your channel.

*APPLAUDS HEAVILY IN TEARS*
like the Citizen Kane? :3
I would never be able to explain how hard I needed this video. Dark souls 2 was my first soul, and for ever my favorite. Thank you for this, now, at this very moment, this is what I needed.
i’ve been coming back every year for the past 4 years. this video does something to my soul that i can’t explain.
Thank you for the great tribute ngl i had to cry
This amazing video makes me cherish the time I've spent with Dark Souls 2 to an even greater extent!
I love this so much. I just spent an hour trying desperately to find it after forgetting the title and thinking it was lost forever. Thank you for making such a beautiful thing.
The feels...i couldnt handle them ;___;
all aboard to the feel train
This game was my childhood. But not only the game itself... Also the amazing youtubers that were involved with this masterpiece. Otzdarva, Sunlightblade, Gafwen, Iron Pineapple, ThePruld, PvPskillz, Praise the sun, Krazy, Limit Breakers, Mrnosec, Oroboro, and many others. This is for you.
Coming back in 2022, makes me teary eyed as its where i started. Always my favorite till the end
That is the best summary of Dark Souls 2 ever.
DS2 is still best for me. So much paths to try, so much things to see, so much... everything...
Thanks for that tribute
I just showed this to my friend in Physics and he legit just started tearing up. But I did too the first time I saw it. Well fucking done gafwen
Is it just me or did anyone else cry? The music fit perfectly to the whole video. Bravo!
It is a great memory....it's my first souls game after all...
I have a feeling it will take a while before a game series can even come close to comparing to the masterpiece that is the Souls games. These games have made the last 2 years the best years of my life :D
+cheezydestroyer the dark souls series litterally destroyed every other game for me i just cant play anything easy anymore when i do i go hollow
Barnevaa
pretty much
+Cheesy You make so many friends playing Dark Souls. A couple of the people I've gotten really close to I literally met while doing summons on the Iron Keep bridge. People say the community's horrible, but when you're a part of it you see the truth. We all help each other.
Riley H.
Yea I've been able to interact with a lot of really cool streamers who are really good at the game. It makes me happy to see get to meet some awesome people who love to play Dark Souls as well.
Cheesy I know right? It makes you realize just how nice and cool some people can be, even over a mic.
I'm going to be playing this game long after it's died out
Bensagerman no,you won't,because the game isn't going to die out
cheers to that
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
@@michaelpottorff2 Welcome Back.. To the Staaaage of History..
Oh wait, wrong game. Lol
Gafwen, your work is some of the best I have ever seen on TH-cam, and I watch a lot. You have to keep this up. Stay strong, and even you, good sir, could go far life with this.

Amazing video, Gafwen. Just beautiful.
Totally not crying. I promise. Its not like I sunk hours into this game and it gets me emotional or anything. Nah of course not!
Ian Gaskin :*) not at all
It's so beautiful I'm gonna die.
*sobs in the corner*
Quasindro May I join. ;~;
Dante Kumara Sure. My corner has quite some space to spare.
Quasindro **Joins** **Holds Quasindro**

I don't feel bad for not owning Bloodborne anymore.
That's the spirit.
Its dead anyways XD
+tutenis42 no it's undead
Kao Eclipse even tho bloodborne is the best game out of the five in terms of quality

At 1:23 "sometimes our best just isn't enough" is my new home screen. Gafwen your videos are an example.
10/10 would watch again, and again, and again, and again. Great vid
watchin this again in 2017... Still makes me think back to the old good days of Dark Souls and still makes me cry a bit. One of the best tribute to Dark Souls ever

Great tribute and wicked editing!
Hopefully there will be more videos coming soon.
This is one of the best DS2 videos i ever saw..Literally made me cry..Thanks for your videos..
This is amazing and more than just in a dark souls way. Well done man.
Gafwen never give up, skeleton. We are dark souls.
Fuck this was beautiful, awesome, touching all at the same time, and it's all 100% on point. This is why you're my new favorite souls channel. I hope when dark souls 3 comes out you'll have plenty of vids to offer. You're amazing.
Why this guy have so little subs
This is the best darksouls video edit it have ever seen,I brought tears to my eyes ,u shouldn't have stopped
I really hope this channel becomes as big as I bet it will! Great videos!
god... o god.... this made me cry....... farewell good memories... bad memories.... but.... we will keep going and make many more... right?
Yes.
Dark souls 2 was my first foray into the souls series and I do not regret it. It's is a game that I enjoyed and still play to this day!
That. Was. Beautiful.
Love your editing. You rock mate
That was so epic man, great job! :)
a thumbs-up will never icon corresponds to the tear and the smile that this video brought me
Dark souls 2, the unappreciated game souls game.
This...was beautiful. Incredible. Whenever I want to give up Dark Souls 2, I'll come back and watch this.
I don't make comments on youtube. I find them fuel to an often redundant fire. That said, this was an absolutely awe-inspiring production. I recently got into DS2, and I hope you keep producing content because it's community is still growing. Subbing in hopes I see more quality content from you like your previous videos.

I was in search for a video that describes my feelings towards Dark Souls... i think i've found it in here... thanks for this beautiful piece of memory
You nailed it!! This is why I love Souls games. Wonderful tribute. Awesome video.
Wow, amazing video
This is one of the best motivational videos I've ever seen.

This is litteraly the best video ive seen through my entire time on TH-cam good job
When I first stood on the bridge leading to the Guardian Dragon, and saw the scenery on the side.
When I first fought the Pursuer
When I first met Vendrick
When I lit my first primal bonfire.
Those are my memories of the game that make me remember how great this game is.
Beautiful
this almost made me cry, to know that there's always a deeper meaning than it just being a hard game
Really awesome dude, congratulations from Brazil!!
And the ending made me want to cry because it reminded me of almost every game I've ever played and how they're all previous to me in one way or another... fucking art at its finest right here.
You absolutely nail every video. I praise the sun for you, so you can keep doing those gems.
Thank you for making this, it's amazing!
Every single souls fan must see this!! Very well done man this is the best thing ever.
Just because the abyss surrounds us all doesn't mean we carry a little light with us... amazing fan trailer btw!
Dark Souls gave me more lessons than life itself. Is there any reason not to love this game?
@Gafwen Thanks for this Gafwen After a long day I needed some good memories to fill it in
This was awesome! I almost cryed for no reason! I loved it
THis... is absolutely beautiful. It's unfair it only has 13,000 views. I'm sharing this to as many people as will watch.
Incredible.
Watching this after Dark Souls three just makes me remember all the good times on ds2. Gank spanking, chilling, making friends, killing. It will be missed.
Man, It fucking hurts to grow up and look behind.
This video was actually so amazing this was amazing Keep up the Work :)
Very nice video Gafwen, amazing as always! I didn't cry, I promise.

You deserve a billion of views
After all this times, this video makes me tear up. I love this game. I love the dark souls community. I love this video.

Wow, this is really amazing. Good job!
♥
So well done it surprised me. Great tribute.
I cant describe how awesome this is
I actually cried :( Nice video .
