I remember being a kid dying to Gael on purpose after getting him down to 1 health, over and over again. Because he’s such a fun boss fight, he’s that amazing.
I felt bad defeating this boss because it felt like I was fighting a friend. It also made me realize I should feel bad about killing most bosses in DS3 since the majority of them are either sick or fighting us out of necessity rather than desire. In fact the only boss I didn't feel bad for killing was Pontiff because of what he did to Vordt and The Dancer.
You may not see this but I just wanted to let you know that you have been a huge inspiration for me and my channel. Your skills at these games are truly unmatched and I dream to one day play as well as you do. Thank you for your videos they are a delight to watch
I will say Messmer came very close to being the best. But yeah between the final showdown, the location, the implications of the fight, and Gael’s mechanics he still takes the cake. Two nobodies, each the strongest of their time, fighting at the end of the world. He’s the perfect final boss for Dark Souls.
@@JustcallmeWolf definetely yes yeahh he saved the world offscreen wohooo how epic is the lore!!! how about hte fight ? he will attack from left to right x99 wohooo how epic is it man the most overrated boss of all time and its not even close fuck overrated bad level designed casual grey souls 3
Sometimes, the best bosses don't gotta HIT, they just gotta h i t yk. Combat, learning curve, cinematics, scenery, vibe, music, lore, setup. Dark Souls was never about difficulty (though it plays a HUGE part), its about trudging through the darkness and arriving at the limelight (or rather the lack thereof). just my thoughts. GREAT no-hit otherwise. the strafing was CRAZY
There's some really cool punishes here. Next time I feel like playing DS3 I may try fiddling around with the fight, as Elden Ring has made me less keen on simply rolling everything. Gael remains my favorite in the DS trilogy.
Didn’t know the crossbow was just like Rellana transition magic attack, zero hitbox at point blank. Also wish we got similar NG+ exclusive weapon in Elden ring
Disagree with him being the best but I can see why you would think that, he is definitely top 5 ever imo and personal experience comes to play as well with top tier souls bosses and deciding which is better
This is just an unofficial rumor. The game has aged well, even after almost 9 years. Perhaps we may need a remaster, but only for the next generation of consoles.
Definitely there hasn't been a good boss past dark souls 1, maybe there were a couple acceptable ones in ds2 since it had a lot but definitely not as good as capra demon
@@Kdarco. his moveset more so, I really like his lore but I think it was a very safe option to take, that being fighting the literal Dark Soul.

imagine they keep his phase 1 moves mix with the cape's after effect in phase 2-3, that would be so fire
Gael, Inner Owl and Godfrey are all tied for me. Old men sweep.
dont forget glock saint Isshin
Good to see a factual statment for once.
Question for you though. Moonveil or Frayed blade?
Frayed blade, i honestly am so surprised they never re-used its animation. its too good
@ooloh 100% agree man! Such a damn fine weapon!
2 goats talking
Two somebodies talking over something
Definitely not a factual statement.

half the bosses in Elden Ring are the same too, like Renalla and Godfrey, even Godrick, so sad
@ooloh godrick? Dude legit grafts people for the fun of it. a fate worse than death
@@TremorXs he just wants to impress his grandfather. he was born without any power
You cook some amazing videos. I learned a lot from your Radahn video
I feel sad for Gael when people bait his thrusting attack 😢
Poor uncle Gail..
The way you dodge the combo is magnificent... Radahn and Miquella are a great boss but Gael will be in our hearts

@asdsa4065 and you’re just going to ignore that the majority of the bosses in ER are what you just described

just my thoughts. GREAT no-hit otherwise. the strafing was CRAZY
Yeah except it IS about difficulty. As stated by Lord Miyazaki in multiple interviews.
@@victorprati7908he stated it wasn't all the way till ER.
Beautiful fight. And very nice music sync into phase 2 👌
This play style is just like ONGBAL but way more dynamic, this actually feels like a natural fight
There's some really cool punishes here. Next time I feel like playing DS3 I may try fiddling around with the fight, as Elden Ring has made me less keen on simply rolling everything.
Gael remains my favorite in the DS trilogy.
He's still good and all, but man
We've had so many top tier bosses since then that have surpassed him and then some if you ask me
When im in a stalling competition and my opponent is amazing chest
I told all my friends that played elden ring to play ds3 and very few of them did 😢
Gaels cool but the world of ds3 outside of the dlc’s is the most tedious to go through, at least for me
Great boss, great fight
And did I mention the ost
Its fire
Didn’t know the crossbow was just like Rellana transition magic attack, zero hitbox at point blank.
Also wish we got similar NG+ exclusive weapon in Elden ring
P sure you can get Gael's crossbow in NG in exchange for his soul. It's just a matter of why cuz it isn't a competition between it and his sword.
The video is Good. Music was added later.
top 5 souls boss for sure
Great job, what recording software do you use?
OBS, it's goat
A final boss, good fight, cool thematically, what is there to hate?
legit man. I literally don't get the hate for gael
Clean 👏
Disagree with him being the best but I can see why you would think that, he is definitely top 5 ever imo and personal experience comes to play as well with top tier souls bosses and deciding which is better
Want to see this boss in elden ring nightreign
thats a clean thumbnail bro
I think thematically Gael is still the best boss but mechanically there are quite a few sekiro and elden ring bosses that surpassed him.
gael,messmer,ishhin,ludwig
Remove messmer and every boss you mentioned is peak.
maria clears ludwig
@@upsideproductions2 why do i always see you in comment sesctions specifically to shit on elden ring
@@thegoober-xk8fq because I hate the game. And I hate seeing praise for it.
@@upsideproductions2 billions must hate happiness and joy, i guess
Though I like Ludwig more, Gael is the definitive best boss in the series.
Trueeeee
Still think Inner Isshin is the greatest boss Fromsoft has ever designed
Genichiro and Isshin clear DS3
Personally I enjoyed maliketh and radahn more (pre nerf og radahn not the dlc one)
Bayle Clears
Are you crazy?
✋😮🤚
was the music added in post?
Pinwheel better
Couldnt you just keep the ingame music on instead of editing it in afterwards? Phase 3 with phase 2 ost is very weird
Lol my bad, i dont play with music on and forgot how his ost went. its not a big deal though
Messmer clears
Yes but don’t let the DS3 fan boys hear you
messmer isnt even the best boss of his own dlc my man
@@cristobaldiaz9696 here they are
@@BlacklistedSoup Calling someone a “fanboy” of a game with great bosses is not an insult you know.
@@zachtaylor5312 did I say it was?
He was a banger back then and he is still a banger nowadays! 🥶
Ds3 Remastered looks so unnecessary, i mean look at this fight.. It's perfect already
This is just an unofficial rumor. The game has aged well, even after almost 9 years. Perhaps we may need a remaster, but only for the next generation of consoles.
Perhaps the remaster is for the switch 2 but who knows..
I say it before the elden ring dlc come out .. “gael forever the best boss in souls history “
how annoying was it to watch the cutscenes every attempt?
oh i add those in post

Least obvious bait lol 😂
No, Ludwig and Godfrey are better 😌
No, the lore of gael it's better, boss fight, moveset, visual, etc

No 💀
Literally one of the worst bosses in ds history, the best thing it can do for you is make you fall asleep because of the stupidly high hp bar
literally one of the worst comments in yt history, the only thing it can for you is get 0 likes and a bunch of hate
hahaha
