@@alex-roe oh wow. I've been using it but haven't been able to get results anywhere near these. I guess it needs some tuning. Thanks for that. I'll have to figure it out.
They stood together until they tore each other apart from the inside. And when the Ashen one cut down the last of them, their souls pooled together, giving one of their own one last chance, one last moment to shine as they had before All together All for one
We ended our hunt. We surrendered to the flame. But the Old Wolf never dies. The Old Wolf is always so vigilant, sniffing out the dark. The true essence of man, as her master did so very long ago. When the cinders brought us back from our rest, she called. She called upon the sacred oath that we all partook in that grand forrest we called Farron. And so we left. We left our thrones, our power, our authority. And most of all, we left our responsibility. When we arrived our long forgotten home, we were filled with misery. For without the legion to protect it, the Forrest has crumpled under the weight of the abyss. It wouldn’t be long until it was swallowed whole. So we set off to work. But when we found the source, an entrance to the abyss opened by a great conqueror, we found that our own brothers had become infected. We had to fight the abyss. Even if we were the abyss. When we killed one, another rose in his place. As is the curse of the undead. Until we all went mad. Eventually, the only thing left was that one singular will. The will to suppress and destroy every last remnant of the abyss. Until one day, a certain ash that had been awakened by a bell ringing far off in the distance, opened the cage that we made ourselves. We could sense the darkness oozing from their soul. Their dark soul. So very dark. And when we finally fell. When that will had finally been withered and beaten down, the Great Wolf’s Blood called upon that oath one more time. One more battle. One more chance to fight that darkness we all hated so very much. There we stood once more. Not as an army. Not as a legion. But as one sole entity. An entity of pure hatred. Hatred for that darkness that oozed from the disturbers soul. Hatred for the darkness that had crumbled the once great Forrest of Farron. Hatred for the darkness that had tainted mankind since the very beginning. Hatred for the darkness that took the Great Wolf’s master away from her. Hatred, for the abyss. This hatred reignited our body, our will, and our blade. For this would be our finally fight. The greatest battle of our lives. And though our minds may have dwindled, the Soul of The Blood of The Wolf will forever stay strong.
It's just such a stupid fucking statement since the two aren't mutually exclusive. This is like me saying "Coke is not sweet, it is a carbonated beverage."
3 million! That's incredible, thanks everyone. I have some remixes and a new Night of the Hunt album coming soon. Hope some of you will be here to check them out!
The Bell tolls, and the Wolf of Old cries out one last time. As steel and metal clash, the cycle to be broken by one born of Ash. The salute is given, Olden blade coated in cursed blood. With the last of their humanity, the Legion fights to preserve the last of their will. The Wolf Blood calls them all together. All for One, and One for All. The Flame burns bright as the last Watcher stands, gazing at his opponent. The Legion marches to fight one last time.
I LOVE Abyss Watchers theme. The story of a proud legion of knights who stopped at nothing to protect the world from evil until they succumbed to that very evil they sought to destroy. Pride, honour, courage, despair, hope, tragedy; this track encapsulates those themes perfectly.
We were Guardians of the Wolf's Blood... Feared by many... Opposed by few... We fought the darkness... Served the light... But now we ask... Where did we go so astray... Trapped in this endless prison... Not even knowing why we fight... Not even knowing who we fight... So please... Champion of Ash... End this... End us... And free us... From our eternal prison...
I just can't get enough of this song, it's hard to call it a remix when it's basically a re-creation of the watchers song, carrying an entirely different meaning. The legion of farron's undead, inspired by the legend of Knight Artorias, came together as a group of warriors who hunted down the abyss in respect of the old warrior. Fierce warriors, so determined to carry out their duty that they sunk down entire kingdoms, with their strong technique that put together strength and agility, and the might of the wolf blood shared between all of them, their power was both renowned and feared. That is, until them themselves got corrupted by the abyss, until they found themselves afflicted by what they swore to destroy, but even then, their duty remained clear, they fought amongst themselves, slaughtered people they once called brothers in arms, comrades genociding each other, on a onesided bloody war, the same thing that brought them together, tore them apart. When you arrive at their arena in-game, you're meet with husks and corpses of proud warriors, struggling to keep sanity, the original boss song gave the idea of finishing the legion, you're killing the last watcher, that song symbolized how far down they fell, and how you end it all. But here, this song highlights the legends the watchers used to be, when the last watcher rises up again, in a final attempt to strike you down, inheriting the power of the wolf blood, sharing the strength of all the watchers before him, carrying the might of the legion as one, on their last fight, the watchers stood together again, as one. It's ironic to think that what originated the watchers also destroyed them, but also that no matter what happened, the watchers never truly fought alone. No matter how far down legends have fallen, how broken warriors may look, how insane great minds have become, they can still glimmer. Like ashes to embers.
Look I know it's well known but can we just acknowledge the melancholy of this franchise? it's so amazing, so gritty and realistically, the "best" endings are those that are the least sad and harsh...so often there's the theme of continuing a dying world or letting it end in, at last, an age of darkness and peaceful sleep.
I feel like the titles should be "Remastered" instead of "Remix". Because we all know what we think when we see remix, we were all expecting Abyss watchers in some kind of techno-rap beat. Thankfully there are SOME artists on youtube.
+Rock The Dwayne Johnson. AR's Twin Princes remix took a while to grow on me but I love it now, especially the last 90 seconds. It feels like a brilliant goodbye to the series. How is it ironic tho?
A while ago there was a comment under this video with a well written text about the abyss watchers.. but i can not find it anymore (either way I'm stupid or it's deleted) Well nonetheless... I saved it on my computer: Before the truth....... Our steel were raised, and blood would spill for fame, glory and riches... Before the truth.... We prided our might and skill of sword and sorceries...... Before the truth..... What arrogant fools we were..... Before the truth.... The everlasting truth..... The none ever truer than the dark........ Our swords made dulled, our martial arts mocked, and our knowledge of the arcane laid irrelevant. Before the truth..... We were but a speck in the lightless chasm that devoured all, helpless to only hear the mocking laughter of the thirsting progenitor, The father who was the beginning and the end of the abyss. Before the truth.... We had seen how the everlasting despair took terrible form, How the eternal hopelessness ground the mightiest arms and shields to dust, and How the maddening emptiness corrupted even the noblests from the simplest stare. Yet, it was within the truth, We witnessed the unlikeliest of miracle. A single flicker, a dying gleam on an ember of once great soul, ripped, tore and tainted beyond recognition... yet it stood against the ever clutching darkness. Crushed and blinded, yet it persevered. Alone and tortured, yet its will remained. To let not even the slightest trickle of this darkness... this abyss passed into the waking world.... From the truth, We cast away our birthright and our names. Taking only the mantle of he who still kept his everlasting, torturous charge. From the truth, We shall bear his burden, and only from the truth, we silently prayed in his name, So that his memories live on, and that may even an iota of his strength be granted unto us. After the truth..... After the end of all things that devoured the living and the dead in cleansing flames We shall stand watch for eternity To a single soul, we shall fight For it is our duty, our endless watch To never let the abyss and its unfathomable promise come to pass. It is our promise, our creed, our truth To always watch over, to be ever vigilant even to the point beyond death For the truth.... ..... is that darkness is ever present, even in the deepest corner of the purest of the souls. Vereor Nox Always fear the truth..... Always fear the Dark Souls. I like this so much, I made a german translation for that, hope those who can understand it will like it :) Vor jener Wahrheit.. erhebten wir unseren Stahl und vergossen Blut für Ruhm, Ehre und Reichtum.. Vor jener Wahrheit.. prisen wir unsere Macht und Fähigkeiten mit Schwert und Zauberei.. Vor jener Wahrheit.. was für arrogante Narren wir doch waren.. Vor jener Wahrheit.. Der immerwährenden Wahrheit.. Keine jemals wahrer als die Dunkelheit selbst.. Verstumpften unsere Schwerter, wurden unsere Kampfkünste verhöhnt und unser Wissen vom Unantastbaren als unbedeutend dargestellt. Vor jener Wahrheit.. waren wir nichts als ein Fleck an der lichtlosen Kluft die jeden zu verzehren mag, hilflos lauschend dem Gelächter des durstenden Urahnen, jenem Vater, welcher zugleich Anfang als auch Ende des Abgrunds war. Vor jener Wahrheit.. sahen wir, wie immerwährende Verzweiflung gar schreckliche Form an nahm, wie ewige Hoffnungslosigkeit die mächtigsten Waffen und Schilder zu Staub zermalm, wie tobsüchtige Leere selbst den nobelsten, simpelsten Blickes, korrumpierte. So war es in der Wahrheit, wir wurden Zeugen der unmöglichsten Wunder. Ein einzelnes Flimmern, ein sterbendes Schimmern einer einst großen Seele, zerissen, zerissen und beschmutzt bis zur Unkenntlichkeit.. Doch stellte sie sich der ewig umklammernden Dunkelheit. Gebrochen und erblindet, jedoch hielt sie stand. Alleine und gefoltert, der Wille jedoch ungebrochen. Um auch nicht den kleinsten Hauch dieser Dunkelheit.. dieses Abrgunds in die erwachte Welt schlüpfen zu lassen. Durch jene Wahrheit, vergessen wir das uns geschenkte Leben und unsere Namen. Nehmen nichts als ihre immerwährende, quälende Last auf uns. Durch jene Wahrheit, und nur durch jene, mögen wir ihre große Last tragen, still in ihrem Namen beten, auf das ihre Erinnerungen weiter leben möchte, und uns ein Teil ihrer Macht gewährt wird. Nach jener Wahrheit... dem Ende all jenem, welches Lebende als auch Tote verschlang, gesäubert durch Flammen, mögen wir auf ewig wachen. Für eine einzige Seele sollen wir kämpfen, denn es ist die uns erteilte Pflicht, unsere endlose Wacht, das der Abgrund und seine unergründliche Verheißung sich nie bewahrheiten. Es ist unser Versprechen, unser Glaubensbekenntnis, unsere Wahrheit, auf ewig zu behüten, auf ewig wachsam zu sein, selbst über den Tod hinaus. Für die Wahrheit... ...der stets gegenwärtigen Dunkelheit, selbst in der tiefgründigsten Ecke jener noch so strahlenden Seele.. Fürchtet immer die Dunkelheit.. Fürchtet immer die Dunkle Seele.
Is this type of comments that makes me remember that this fandom holds great beauty & thoughtful things bury deep in a miasma of foolishness simpleton minded memes with a tack of elitism.....heh kinda like the game in a odd way i suppose.
Dude, this is a great text, thanks for saving it and translating, even if I’m not german I think one of the scariest things in dark souls is, indeed, the truth. Every character seeks something, the Flame, a friend, knowledge, power, a forgotten prophecy Their belief keeps them going, but when they find out the truth... That the flame will fade, their friend is dead, that there’s no knowledge or power, and that the prophecy was a lie, they hollow To persevere, even knowing the truth, is something admirable, albeit foolish. I really liked that text, thank you so much for saving it
I feel this was my entry into Darksouls "adulthood". I discovered From Software games with DS3 and all the beginning of the game is just an intro, a preparation for THIS fight. I mean, as soon as I arrived in front of the church, hearing the clashes and all, and then the scenery and sadness of seeing these once brave warriors killing each other in frenzy forever, without any hope of salvation, I knew this was going to be different. Its the first fight I was truly intrigued and moved by everything. The bell toll, at first, then the second phase where you are like, really trying ti understand whats the F is going on : "why are they all getting up ?? wait this one fights with me ? Great big fire sword now " Truly an amazing fight which defines evertyhing thats great about those games : scenery, sadness, strategy, music and EPICNESS Praise the Sun guys
Since nobody else has mentioned it I would really like to call attention to the baseline of the strings. It’s so thematically perfect. 1 1-2 1-2-3 1-2-3-4. The strings are literally mimicking the fight as more and more of the watchers rise and join
They were influenced by Artorias's actions, who was basically the first Abyss Watcher. They all ingested a bit of his blood, they essentially worshipped Artorias and Sif...
I feel like this theme would be perfect for the second phase of this boss. The original one is rather tragic, very fitting for the first phase, where the watchers even attack their former allies. In the second form, the blood of the wolf is reunited in one final, glorious moment only before this Lord of Cinder's flame is extinguished forever.
Jeremiah Pohl So true. Easily the best piece of lore in DS3 for me. The introduction scene where they were killing each other as you enter their area was both heartbreaking and amazing.
Good God! They both complement each other so well! Where the music becomes quiet and soft in one , the harmony the other carries over almost giving the feel that these two masterpieces were meant to be put together! Thank you very much for the great suggestion :D
I have to say, I was expecting a crap remix. This is the first remind I've seen from Alex, and I really do have to say, Alex is a master of sound. Instant subscriber.
This is the first track I've heard from you and I've already paid £20 for your Dark Souls album and the song hasn't even finished yet; amazing work... this theme makes me think of the Abyss Watchers before their tragic end; how strong and organised they must have been and how they fought the Abyss fearlessly with those ultra-stylish flips and spins, RIP Abyss Watchers
What I realized Dark Souls 3 did so well was the transition between phases, they add a whole different feel; the music changes, the battlefield changes, the boss changes; it's as if it's the Boss's last stand, and it is.
Alex made a community post about it 5 months ago where he talkes about that someone supposedly from Bandai namco game music has issued two takedowns for his videos and (threatened to do more) he got scared so he private most of his dark souls 3 musics, but that’s the most that I know. Alex still has his community posts up though so feel free to check it out. Absolutely beautiful music and so glad I can listen to it again on my playlist
(Enters fog wall) (Casual Camara-pan around the arena, the silence broken by the occasional clang as Metal crashes against metal. The camera zooms on two Farron Legionaries. One overpowers and stand the other) *_Heavy breathing_* ...you...you have been tainted... brother... (The legionnaire removes his sword. The impales warrior falls forward. The last legionnaire turns and notices the Ashen one) You...you are ash, yet the fire in you...it is so dim...so dark...dark... (Que attack pose) _You are tainted..._ (Boss fight begins)
5 million views. Congrats Alex. Been loving your music since 2016, about 40 songs I have from you now on my playlist. I'll definitely find a way to give back for all the good times.
I have no idea if this was intentional or not, but from 2:59 to around 3:50, the melody sounds a hell of lot like the beginning or Artorias' theme, specifically from 23 seconds in to 49 seconds in. Might just be me making wild connections but if it's intentional, kudos, I like it, in addition to the rest of the remix, very well made. :D
XuarenXIII Ah, this addition makes some sense now. I was just curious since it very well could've been just complete coincidence that a part of Artorias' melody slipped in. Thanks for that mate. :D
atculy he wasnt' a watcher he was down right going to distroy the abyss but he failed so his order a religion who followed his dog syth went after there fallen commrade but was corrupted by the abyse to. more sadder if you think about it
drummerboi357 the watchers only tried to stop the spread of the abyss with a legion who would watch, artorias wanted to destroy it as a one man army essentially
This is once again sublime, truly beautiful! You should work on either Pontiff's or the Twin Prince's theme, they'd be an interesting subject for your re-imagination.
This remix would be a good intro to Dark Souls if it were a tv show. Don't know why I thought of that, maybe it's just the way the beginning builds up.
I would dig a tv show that's in the vein of dark souls, like a spiritual adaptation kinda. But if they used the brand name and everything was basically from the games than it would probably be total shit.
This is honestly the best song remix of all time it’s so beautiful I’ve been listening to it for 6 years now it’s always amazing to come back and listen to this masterpiece
Damn dude, I gotta admit I love how in the beginning it conveys the feeling of the original but twists it in a more "heroic" or optimistic kind of way with the string arrangement, just to deceive you when the vocals commence and it keeps building up from there to achieve the same sense of nostalgia and dread of the original theme. This arrangement is awesome.
this is how you make a remix, you improve on what was originally there, you don't make it appeal to another genre or speed it up with some casual dubstep, remixes are never that easy
simply incredible. the amount of effort and skill that goes into this is amazing and the fact that you are giving it away for free is magnificent. on behalf of the human race thank you for your talents
I've listened to all of your remixes, and they're all amazing. Truly great compliments to the original. But it takes so much more to improve upon the original in almost every way, and you've done it. This is significantly better than the original, it's easily the best DS3 track I've ever heard. Amazing work.
I don't think my dad really got games, or why I was this enthralled by them. Then I played him this. He's a professional musician. This is exactly what I needed to convey to him
"The flame has long been gone from me, but my oath as a watcher still burns deep into my heart, tonight Hunter, I'll show you how we really hunt our prey..." -Ugbar the Swift
The female singer appears to be able to sing for minutes at a time without breathing. Yes I know it's all samples, but things like that amuse me for some nerdy reason. It's very easy to compose things that can't actually be played.
+Joshua King There are plenty of times where a person could breathe in. On the parts which her line falls into a descrendo she could inhale at the end.
You know, my music teacher used to throw around a word for that - written music that can't be performed. Definitely an SAT word. If you ever run across it, let me know. Love to have it back in my vocabulary.
Alex Roe In all fairness, I wouldn't have noticed at all had I not also been a composer. Though I do most of my work in midi. Anyway, as long as the end result is good, it really doesn't matter. It's just fun when you notice it.
When your squad is dead and you're the last one left. Just as you're about to die, their souls all transpose to you, turning you into a true Lord of Cinder, giving you one last chance to defeat the Unkindled One, and you STILL fuck it up! Your squad's gonna be pissed in the afterlife.
The Abyss Watchers are gone, but we, the Watchdogs of Farron.. We will hold the vigil.. For the Wolf Knight! For the Wolf Blood! For the Abyss Watchers! We'll have you laid to rest. And afterwards.. We'll still hold the vigil, for the old wolf... For the old wolf..
Honestly my favorite battle in the game. I was taken away by their number then astonished when they began to tear each other apart. In awe I was defeated time and time again. Until finally the almagm of tortured souls formed a single ashen entity. I defeated this flaming husk of once proud Knights. The best feeling I felt in Dark Souls. The music and their epic attacks. Simply amazing.
Its my first Souls game and I beat the Abyss Watchers a couple days ago, and im a much better gamer for it. Definitely one of the best boss fights out there and this remix perfectly represents it.
This is just beautiful. The abyss watchers were my favorite boss in the game, for they gave me a feeling that I was fighting knights that had lost their own purpose and wanted to rest at last, but could not do it. Their theme and backstory made me think of them as some sort of tragic heroes. Alongside with Yhorm the Giant backstory, both bosses earned my respect each time I fought them as I felt I was putting down tragic heroes who either sacrificed themselves for a cycle that would only continue or that lost everything in their attempt on doing so.
I remember running to the door with the darkwraiths closing in. I opened the door and saw the cutscene, with my attention on the abyss watcher. I ran forward and did a jumping attack while he slid right past me. Another abyss watcher came up with both of them backing me to a wall. As one readied his sword for the stabbing lunge a darksword pierced through his chest. The main Abyss watcher then somersaulted into the wraith while the lesser continued attacking me. Another watcher rose up behind him. Cursing my luck I retreated to the far altar only to see the watcher with red eyes attack his own! A second wraith walked through the door and ganged up on the main one. My hp restored I took to the fray. First eliminating the 2 closest watchers. A spectacle of swordplay as the 3 of us fought in visceral combat. One was killed by the other as I back stabbed the red eye. A wraith turned his attention on me and began furiously using his combo. My shield arm rent the darkwraith pulled his glowing hand to the side. Sparks flew as the main watcher stunned the wraith and did his 3 hit jump combo. The wraith pulled his sword arm as I 2 handed my weapon and slashed his back into a back stab. The watcher rolled back as the wraith fell to the ground. With no stamina left the watcher walked towards me with a sliver of hp left. I hit him thinking it was over. Then the cut-scene rolled in. His sword inflamed and a full hp bar. I took my sunlight talisman and used Blessed weapon as we dueled over the remains of the dead. Fire streamed across the room as we traded blows until finally I was the victor. With my enemies smote, I continued on my journey hoping my end would be as close to honorable as this was.
You took a piece riddled with epic despair and gave it beautiful hope. You made it your own. I honestly wish you the best in your endeavors. The world needs your talent.
I already made one! It was before DaS3 came out but it's inspired by it and just Dark Souls as a whole. It's called Darksign. This Bloodborne album I'm doing now is completely new (not out yet...working means I'm working on it lol) and will be out hopefully early August.

The Bell tolls, and the Wolf of Old cries out one last time. As steel and metal clash, the cycle to be broken by one born of Ash.
The salute is given, Olden blade coated in cursed blood. With the last of their humanity, the Legion fights to preserve the last of their will.
The Wolf Blood calls them all together. All for One, and One for All. The Flame burns bright as the last Watcher stands, gazing at his opponent.
The Legion marches to fight one last time.

King Fancy yeah i agree, its different, faster paced but very similar
Is there any special music for Phase 2? I mean I felt like it was all time the same theme so I am asking
I LOVE Abyss Watchers theme. The story of a proud legion of knights who stopped at nothing to protect the world from evil until they succumbed to that very evil they sought to destroy. Pride, honour, courage, despair, hope, tragedy; this track encapsulates those themes perfectly.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 TURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙂😭
Man I still come back to this no matter how old it gets. Timeless classic now. As it will be forever. At least to me.
We were Guardians of the Wolf's Blood...
Feared by many...
Opposed by few...
We fought the darkness...
Served the light...
But now we ask...
Where did we go so astray...
Trapped in this endless prison...
Not even knowing why we fight...
Not even knowing who we fight...
So please...
Champion of Ash...
End this...
End us...
And free us...
From our eternal prison...

Good to see the main video back.
Seven years listening to this tune which never fails to amaze me
Thank you Alex for making millions of us happy
I found Alex the other day on spotify and I can't stop listening to his remixes. They are amazing.
I think this might still be my favourite song in my entire music playlist, and that is quite the big playlist by now.

I just can't get enough of this song, it's hard to call it a remix when it's basically a re-creation of the watchers song, carrying an entirely different meaning.
The legion of farron's undead, inspired by the legend of Knight Artorias, came together as a group of warriors who hunted down the abyss in respect of the old warrior. Fierce warriors, so determined to carry out their duty that they sunk down entire kingdoms, with their strong technique that put together strength and agility, and the might of the wolf blood shared between all of them, their power was both renowned and feared.
That is, until them themselves got corrupted by the abyss, until they found themselves afflicted by what they swore to destroy, but even then, their duty remained clear, they fought amongst themselves, slaughtered people they once called brothers in arms, comrades genociding each other, on a onesided bloody war, the same thing that brought them together, tore them apart.
When you arrive at their arena in-game, you're meet with husks and corpses of proud warriors, struggling to keep sanity, the original boss song gave the idea of finishing the legion, you're killing the last watcher, that song symbolized how far down they fell, and how you end it all.
But here, this song highlights the legends the watchers used to be, when the last watcher rises up again, in a final attempt to strike you down, inheriting the power of the wolf blood, sharing the strength of all the watchers before him, carrying the might of the legion as one, on their last fight, the watchers stood together again, as one.
It's ironic to think that what originated the watchers also destroyed them, but also that no matter what happened, the watchers never truly fought alone.
No matter how far down legends have fallen, how broken warriors may look, how insane great minds have become, they can still glimmer.
Like ashes to embers.

When I saw "remix" I was terrified at the idea of a shitty dubstep remix,I'm happy to be wrong
Haha, I would probably prefer to say something else but remix is usually what people search for.
+Alex Roe It's fitting,it's just that we all know how 90% of youtube remixes end up :p
my thoughts as well ! thank God we're wrong
we can rely on you to come up with the best remixes
Suddenly this becomes reuploaded as a dubstep remix.
10/10, would hire.
Look I know it's well known but can we just acknowledge the melancholy of this franchise? it's so amazing, so gritty and realistically, the "best" endings are those that are the least sad and harsh...so often there's the theme of continuing a dying world or letting it end in, at last, an age of darkness and peaceful sleep.
I feel like the titles should be "Remastered" instead of "Remix". Because we all know what we think when we see remix, we were all expecting Abyss watchers in some kind of techno-rap beat. Thankfully there are SOME artists on youtube.

tyler1 freed!
A while ago there was a comment under this video with a well written text about the abyss watchers.. but i can not find it anymore (either way I'm stupid or it's deleted)
Well nonetheless... I saved it on my computer:
Before the truth.......
Our steel were raised, and blood would spill
for fame, glory and riches...
Before the truth....
We prided our might and skill
of sword and sorceries......
Before the truth.....
What arrogant fools we were.....
Before the truth....
The everlasting truth.....
The none ever truer than the dark........
Our swords made dulled, our martial arts mocked, and our knowledge of the arcane laid irrelevant.
Before the truth.....
We were but a speck in the lightless chasm that devoured all,
helpless to only hear the mocking laughter of the thirsting progenitor,
The father who was the beginning and the end of the abyss.
Before the truth....
We had seen how the everlasting despair took terrible form,
How the eternal hopelessness ground the mightiest arms and shields to dust, and
How the maddening emptiness corrupted even the noblests from the simplest stare.
Yet, it was within the truth,
We witnessed the unlikeliest of miracle.
A single flicker, a dying gleam on an ember of once great soul,
ripped, tore and tainted beyond recognition...
yet it stood against the ever clutching darkness.
Crushed and blinded, yet it persevered.
Alone and tortured, yet its will remained.
To let not even the slightest trickle of this darkness... this abyss passed into the waking world....
From the truth,
We cast away our birthright and our names.
Taking only the mantle of he who still kept his everlasting, torturous charge.
From the truth,
We shall bear his burden, and only from the truth,
we silently prayed in his name,
So that his memories live on,
and that may even an iota of his strength be granted unto us.
After the truth.....
After the end of all things that devoured the living and the dead
in cleansing flames
We shall stand watch for eternity
To a single soul, we shall fight
For it is our duty, our endless watch
To never let the abyss and its unfathomable promise come to pass.
It is our promise, our creed, our truth
To always watch over, to be ever vigilant even to the point beyond death
For the truth....
..... is that darkness is ever present, even in the deepest corner of the purest of the souls.
Vereor Nox
Always fear the truth.....
Always fear the Dark Souls.
I like this so much, I made a german translation for that, hope those who can understand it will like it :)
Vor jener Wahrheit..
erhebten wir unseren Stahl und vergossen Blut
für Ruhm, Ehre und Reichtum..
Vor jener Wahrheit..
prisen wir unsere Macht und Fähigkeiten
mit Schwert und Zauberei..
Vor jener Wahrheit..
was für arrogante Narren wir doch waren..
Vor jener Wahrheit..
Der immerwährenden Wahrheit..
Keine jemals wahrer als die Dunkelheit selbst..
Verstumpften unsere Schwerter, wurden unsere Kampfkünste verhöhnt und unser Wissen vom Unantastbaren als unbedeutend dargestellt.
Vor jener Wahrheit..
waren wir nichts als ein Fleck an der lichtlosen Kluft die jeden zu verzehren mag,
hilflos lauschend dem Gelächter des durstenden Urahnen,
jenem Vater, welcher zugleich Anfang als auch Ende des Abgrunds war.
Vor jener Wahrheit..
sahen wir, wie immerwährende Verzweiflung gar schreckliche Form an nahm,
wie ewige Hoffnungslosigkeit die mächtigsten Waffen und Schilder zu Staub zermalm,
wie tobsüchtige Leere selbst den nobelsten, simpelsten Blickes, korrumpierte.
So war es in der Wahrheit,
wir wurden Zeugen der unmöglichsten Wunder.
Ein einzelnes Flimmern, ein sterbendes Schimmern einer einst großen Seele,
zerissen, zerissen und beschmutzt bis zur Unkenntlichkeit..
Doch stellte sie sich der ewig umklammernden Dunkelheit.
Gebrochen und erblindet, jedoch hielt sie stand.
Alleine und gefoltert, der Wille jedoch ungebrochen.
Um auch nicht den kleinsten Hauch dieser Dunkelheit.. dieses Abrgunds in die erwachte Welt schlüpfen zu lassen.
Durch jene Wahrheit,
vergessen wir das uns geschenkte Leben und unsere Namen.
Nehmen nichts als ihre immerwährende, quälende Last auf uns.
Durch jene Wahrheit,
und nur durch jene, mögen wir ihre große Last tragen,
still in ihrem Namen beten,
auf das ihre Erinnerungen weiter leben möchte,
und uns ein Teil ihrer Macht gewährt wird.
Nach jener Wahrheit...
dem Ende all jenem, welches Lebende als auch Tote verschlang,
gesäubert durch Flammen,
mögen wir auf ewig wachen.
Für eine einzige Seele sollen wir kämpfen,
denn es ist die uns erteilte Pflicht, unsere endlose Wacht,
das der Abgrund und seine unergründliche Verheißung sich nie bewahrheiten.
Es ist unser Versprechen, unser Glaubensbekenntnis, unsere Wahrheit,
auf ewig zu behüten, auf ewig wachsam zu sein, selbst über den Tod hinaus.
Für die Wahrheit...
...der stets gegenwärtigen Dunkelheit, selbst in der tiefgründigsten Ecke jener noch so strahlenden Seele..
Fürchtet immer die Dunkelheit..
Fürchtet immer die Dunkle Seele.
FischersFritz thanks man I couldn't find it either.
Damn
Thanks especially also thanks for the translation
Is this type of comments that makes me remember that this fandom holds great beauty & thoughtful things bury deep in a miasma of foolishness simpleton minded memes with a tack of elitism.....heh kinda like the game in a odd way i suppose.
Dude, this is a great text, thanks for saving it and translating, even if I’m not german
I think one of the scariest things in dark souls is, indeed, the truth. Every character seeks something, the Flame, a friend, knowledge, power, a forgotten prophecy
Their belief keeps them going, but when they find out the truth...
That the flame will fade, their friend is dead, that there’s no knowledge or power, and that the prophecy was a lie, they hollow
To persevere, even knowing the truth, is something admirable, albeit foolish.
I really liked that text, thank you so much for saving it
I feel this was my entry into Darksouls "adulthood".
I discovered From Software games with DS3 and all the beginning of the game is just an intro, a preparation for THIS fight.
I mean, as soon as I arrived in front of the church, hearing the clashes and all, and then the scenery and sadness of seeing these once brave warriors killing each other in frenzy forever, without any hope of salvation, I knew this was going to be different.
Its the first fight I was truly intrigued and moved by everything. The bell toll, at first, then the second phase where you are like, really trying ti understand whats the F is going on : "why are they all getting up ?? wait this one fights with me ? Great big fire sword now "
Truly an amazing fight which defines evertyhing thats great about those games : scenery, sadness, strategy, music and EPICNESS
Praise the Sun guys
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Since nobody else has mentioned it I would really like to call attention to the baseline of the strings. It’s so thematically perfect. 1 1-2 1-2-3 1-2-3-4. The strings are literally mimicking the fight as more and more of the watchers rise and join
I tuthfuly never noticed
I used to listen to this while reading berserk. RIP Legend
Is it me or did I hear the Artorias theme in the middle?
It is there, I mean that's really amazing right ?
I heared it too.
They kind of share the same fate :'(
They were influenced by Artorias's actions, who was basically the first Abyss Watcher. They all ingested a bit of his blood, they essentially worshipped Artorias and Sif...
Zenith Tempest We even have our own wolf, but I think hes dead because we forgot to feed him ;(
In my eyes, best boss in the dark souls series
Dragon dildo same
VAAAAAAATI! TELL US THE LORE!
They look badass, but they can be killed by one of those dark wraiths. Glitched in a dark wraith into the boss arena in one of my play throughs.
Dragon dildo well they are inspired by sir Artorias
Ya. Kinda sucks how easy they are, considering their cool levels. That could be fixed by atleast giving them a little poise maybe...
The G.O.A.T of the abyss is BACK!!!!🎉
I feel like this theme would be perfect for the second phase of this boss. The original one is rather tragic, very fitting for the first phase, where the watchers even attack their former allies. In the second form, the blood of the wolf is reunited in one final, glorious moment only before this Lord of Cinder's flame is extinguished forever.
god I love this boss
This just makes me tear up everytime.
Jeremiah Pohl So true. Easily the best piece of lore in DS3 for me. The introduction scene where they were killing each other as you enter their area was both heartbreaking and amazing.
Have you ever heard of the tragedy of The Abyss watchers? I thought not.

This is the first track I've heard from you and I've already paid £20 for your Dark Souls album and the song hasn't even finished yet; amazing work... this theme makes me think of the Abyss Watchers before their tragic end; how strong and organised they must have been and how they fought the Abyss fearlessly with those ultra-stylish flips and spins, RIP Abyss Watchers
It's very much appreciated, thank you so much!
@@alex-roe hello
the Abyss Watchers, pontiff, and the consumed King's osts are my favourite in the game. And this remix is the definition of Godliness.
I agree, even the dragonslayer's armour is awesome
lorian is so good
Oceiros’ theme gets overlooks cause he’s an easy boss, it’s easily one of the best in the game.
What I realized Dark Souls 3 did so well was the transition between phases, they add a whole different feel; the music changes, the battlefield changes, the boss changes; it's as if it's the Boss's last stand, and it is.
2:57 gives me goosebumps every time. 🤤
As an Artorias Fanboy this one strikes right into my heart :/ Good work.
GLAD IT'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it’s back, wonder why it was removed
Alex made a community post about it 5 months ago where he talkes about that someone supposedly from Bandai namco game music has issued two takedowns for his videos and (threatened to do more) he got scared so he private most of his dark souls 3 musics, but that’s the most that I know. Alex still has his community posts up though so feel free to check it out. Absolutely beautiful music and so glad I can listen to it again on my playlist

+M.A.DMatt6 It's my favourite too!
i think that even pontiff sullyvahn is better but hey, maybe you can make a remix of that too one day :))
Best theme makes the start.
I want to develop a game based on the story of the abyss watchers, and have this song play as the final boss against the chosen undead.
Have you developed it yet?

Congrats Alex. Been loving your music since 2016, about 40 songs I have from you now on my playlist. I'll definitely find a way to give back for all the good times.
I've eagerly awaited one of these to come out! You're awesome, your work is breathtaking, and I can't wait to hear more!
To fight naught but the remains of a once imposing order.
The same order who worshipped the Abysswalker and his wolf
Tragic by definition
I have no idea if this was intentional or not, but from 2:59 to around 3:50, the melody sounds a hell of lot like the beginning or Artorias' theme, specifically from 23 seconds in to 49 seconds in.
Might just be me making wild connections but if it's intentional, kudos, I like it, in addition to the rest of the remix, very well made. :D
I hear it too. wouldn't surprise me coming from the guy who mixed Gwyn's theme into Gehrman's.
XuarenXIII
Ah, this addition makes some sense now. I was just curious since it very well could've been just complete coincidence that a part of Artorias' melody slipped in. Thanks for that mate. :D
Artorias' theme is in there because Artorias was the first abyss watcher
atculy he wasnt' a watcher he was down right going to distroy the abyss but he failed so his order a religion who followed his dog syth went after there fallen commrade but was corrupted by the abyse to. more sadder if you think about it
drummerboi357 the watchers only tried to stop the spread of the abyss with a legion who would watch, artorias wanted to destroy it as a one man army essentially
Dang bro these VASTOCARS I swear.
FR LOL
A hero would sacrifice you to save the world. A villain would sacrifice the world to save you.
This is once again sublime, truly beautiful! You should work on either Pontiff's or the Twin Prince's theme, they'd be an interesting subject for your re-imagination.
+Johnny Dean Twin Princes is the bomb
I personally liked the Deacons theme-definitely the best part of that fight
+Thomas Winks it fits them so well too
+Thomas Winks it fits them so well too
This remix would be a good intro to Dark Souls if it were a tv show. Don't know why I thought of that, maybe it's just the way the beginning builds up.
if it were a tv show I would rather watch that than the new fnaf movie that is going to come
+dragonslayermaster ornstein i'd watch it even if it was garbage
I would dig a tv show that's in the vein of dark souls, like a spiritual adaptation kinda. But if they used the brand name and everything was basically from the games than it would probably be total shit.
+dragonslayermaster ornstein You got that right...
we'll call it...
"Game of Souls "
HOW AM I 5 YEARS LATE TO THIS MASTERPIECE?????
This is honestly the best song remix of all time it’s so beautiful I’ve been listening to it for 6 years now it’s always amazing to come back and listen to this masterpiece
how did this man make my favorite song in Dark Souls 3... better...
instant sub
Damn dude, I gotta admit I love how in the beginning it conveys the feeling of the original but twists it in a more "heroic" or optimistic kind of way with the string arrangement, just to deceive you when the vocals commence and it keeps building up from there to achieve the same sense of nostalgia and dread of the original theme. This arrangement is awesome.
Another masterpiece Alex. I was hoping you'd start with the Abyss Watcher's theme and BAM!!! there you go!!
Thank you, I love it.
This would be an awesome soundtrack for a Dark Souls movie
I look up, and think the exact same thing. "Fuck it, make a Dark Souls CGI movie." Then I scroll down and see your comment, lovely.
WE NEED A DARK SOULS MOVIE
this is how you make a remix, you improve on what was originally there, you don't make it appeal to another genre or speed it up with some casual dubstep, remixes are never that easy
This music is genuinely a masterpiece. This is my favorite DS3 remix of all time.
simply incredible. the amount of effort and skill that goes into this is amazing and the fact that you are giving it away for free is magnificent. on behalf of the human race thank you for your talents
I love it, one of the best you ever made!
Amazing. You've got a lot on your plate with Dark Souls III. Hope you make as many of these as possible!
I've listened to all of your remixes, and they're all amazing. Truly great compliments to the original. But it takes so much more to improve upon the original in almost every way, and you've done it. This is significantly better than the original, it's easily the best DS3 track I've ever heard. Amazing work.
I don't think my dad really got games, or why I was this enthralled by them. Then I played him this. He's a professional musician. This is exactly what I needed to convey to him
This remix makes my cry about dark souls... Best game.

The female singer appears to be able to sing for minutes at a time without breathing. Yes I know it's all samples, but things like that amuse me for some nerdy reason. It's very easy to compose things that can't actually be played.
+Joshua King I always forget to take that into consideration haha
+Joshua King There are plenty of times where a person could breathe in. On the parts which her line falls into a descrendo she could inhale at the end.
You know, my music teacher used to throw around a word for that - written music that can't be performed. Definitely an SAT word. If you ever run across it, let me know. Love to have it back in my vocabulary.
If I had a singer I would probably have her sing just a few notes at a time and then I'd stitch it up like this...just to see what people would say
Alex Roe In all fairness, I wouldn't have noticed at all had I not also been a composer. Though I do most of my work in midi. Anyway, as long as the end result is good, it really doesn't matter. It's just fun when you notice it.
How dare you!
Making such a work that makes me tear up this early in the day.
That's not a remix, that's a Godmix!!!
When your squad is dead and you're the last one left. Just as you're about to die, their souls all transpose to you, turning you into a true Lord of Cinder, giving you one last chance to defeat the Unkindled One, and you STILL fuck it up! Your squad's gonna be pissed in the afterlife.
The Abyss Watchers are gone, but we, the Watchdogs of Farron.. We will hold the vigil.. For the Wolf Knight! For the Wolf Blood! For the Abyss Watchers! We'll have you laid to rest. And afterwards.. We'll still hold the vigil, for the old wolf... For the old wolf..
What I would give for a Dark Souls 3 show.
This encapsulates not only DS 3, but the whole trilogy for me. Abyss Watchers are simply badass
I got dark souls 3 to mess around and play with my friend. I wasn't prepared for how much I would enjoy the game.
So, Alex... Thinking of doing a Pontiff Sulyvahn remix? I was thinking "Excommunication".
Yessss
Maybe, "Ballad of Ruin"? Since he pretty much caused most of the negative events in the game.
So true.
"Asshole in the castle" for Sulyvahn?
Profaned Tyrant??? Idk
absolutely loved how you slipped in Artoria's theme at 3:00
You work fast and do an incredible job with these remixes :D
I love that you can hear Artorias theme in this, too
im impressed to find a genuinely well made remix that sticks to the roots
Honestly my favorite battle in the game. I was taken away by their number then astonished when they began to tear each other apart. In awe I was defeated time and time again. Until finally the almagm of tortured souls formed a single ashen entity. I defeated this flaming husk of once proud Knights. The best feeling I felt in Dark Souls. The music and their epic attacks. Simply amazing.
Its my first Souls game and I beat the Abyss Watchers a couple days ago, and im a much better gamer for it. Definitely one of the best boss fights out there and this remix perfectly represents it.
*this feels like the song of a hero whos fire is about to wither away ngl*
No.
To me, it inspires a new kind of strength and resilience. The kind that overcomes obstacles we thought were impossible to rise above.
This is just beautiful. The abyss watchers were my favorite boss in the game, for they gave me a feeling that I was fighting knights that had lost their own purpose and wanted to rest at last, but could not do it. Their theme and backstory made me think of them as some sort of tragic heroes. Alongside with Yhorm the Giant backstory, both bosses earned my respect each time I fought them as I felt I was putting down tragic heroes who either sacrificed themselves for a cycle that would only continue or that lost everything in their attempt on doing so.
3:00 to 3:50 is definitely my favorite addition to this song! Awesome!
I think this would've went really well if this played during the 2nd phase
Lets mod it ?
You can always mod it, if you like.
Problem is the transition :(
+Yaxion how can i mode it?
Siegmeyer Of Catarina mod it*
I was speechless after hearing this... it was too great
I remember running to the door with the darkwraiths closing in. I opened the door and saw the cutscene, with my attention on the abyss watcher. I ran forward and did a jumping attack while he slid right past me. Another abyss watcher came up with both of them backing me to a wall. As one readied his sword for the stabbing lunge a darksword pierced through his chest. The main Abyss watcher then somersaulted into the wraith while the lesser continued attacking me. Another watcher rose up behind him. Cursing my luck I retreated to the far altar only to see the watcher with red eyes attack his own! A second wraith walked through the door and ganged up on the main one. My hp restored I took to the fray. First eliminating the 2 closest watchers. A spectacle of swordplay as the 3 of us fought in visceral combat. One was killed by the other as I back stabbed the red eye. A wraith turned his attention on me and began furiously using his combo. My shield arm rent the darkwraith pulled his glowing hand to the side. Sparks flew as the main watcher stunned the wraith and did his 3 hit jump combo. The wraith pulled his sword arm as I 2 handed my weapon and slashed his back into a back stab. The watcher rolled back as the wraith fell to the ground. With no stamina left the watcher walked towards me with a sliver of hp left. I hit him thinking it was over. Then the cut-scene rolled in. His sword inflamed and a full hp bar. I took my sunlight talisman and used Blessed weapon as we dueled over the remains of the dead. Fire streamed across the room as we traded blows until finally I was the victor. With my enemies smote, I continued on my journey hoping my end would be as close to honorable as this was.
You took a piece riddled with epic despair and gave it beautiful hope.
You made it your own.
I honestly wish you the best in your endeavors. The world needs your talent.
I’m getting the same awe that I felt first seeing the Abyss watchers. A mix of fear, and heavy respect with anger. This made my spine chill.
Hey, Alex, just telling you you totally rocked this song! Will we be getting more remix from DaS III?
Thanks! Maybe when the DLC drops, I'm busy working on a Bloodborne inspired album at the moment.
i saw that, borne from blood, right? good word play there. Do you plan on an album inspired by DaS III as well? no pressure, jut asking.
I already made one! It was before DaS3 came out but it's inspired by it and just Dark Souls as a whole. It's called Darksign. This Bloodborne album I'm doing now is completely new (not out yet...working means I'm working on it lol) and will be out hopefully early August.
looking forward to it, Alex!
