Good to know 1045 other people still like fighting Gael, too. Elden Ring is over now. Even though it's the best game of the 2020s, I still think Gael's flow is the best they've ever made.
@@N_Tertainment7but who was he? To become the very being to outlive the gods themselves? Dark souls is inspirational, because altough i am yet no one, i might be everything in the far future
I always loved how in the literal sense Gael is supposed to be a max soul level player, his sheer tankiness through the whole fight let's you know how many souls he had consumed.
I mean, him Grunting in Pain to just Unleash a giant wave of Souls. Then he Flys into the Air, while lightning strikes all around him and his Sword Clashes into the Ground while his Ghotly Cape flows beautifully in this Chaos of Pure Epicniss!
The first enemy you fight in the dark souls trilogy is a hollow with a broken sword…and so too is the last enemy you face in the trilogy…GOD TIER WRITING
@alexg6156 We will eventually have to play all the way to Slave Knight Gael, make sure your gamer enough to dodge him and listen to his theme at this rate. Putting about 10 hours if your really Good, but more likely 20 if your going to actually level up and upgrade, just to hear a song. Oh and if you want to listen to the second phase you gotta than dodge second phase Gael and somehow enjoy the music.
@@galax12370well yeah it’s not really trying to live up to that legacy, it’s more of an experiment of whether they can make a game of this style and scale. None of the past few games including bloodborne have really been trying to create a big legacy like dark souls did.
At the twilight of the final Age of Fire The last two undead of an ashen wasteland fight for the last and most ancient of artifacts This is their song At this end of time the ancient dragons have fallen alongside the gods that slew them The once great lords are naught but cinder; their heirs only maddened beasts Their world is left but ash and ruin One of dark, fit only as cannon fodder, mad with the power the very gods feared The other of ash, not fit to even be cinder, wielding the might that toppled the gods themselves Both unyielding in their purpose Both destined to break the shackles put upon them by the once great idols of the land Two nobodies Fighting over nothing In the middle of nowhere A battle no one will remember, for a cause long forgotten One last time Fire will do battle with the Dark At the end of the world It is the end of the final Age of Fire The last two undead of an ashen wasteland fight for the last and most ancient of artifacts This is their song It ends in fire and blood In lightning and dust In rust and in dunes of ash, stretching across the infinite horizon On this blasted ruin of a battlefield The world ends not with a feeble whisper Nor a gentle breeze And not in a fleeting, final breath It ends In a Gael
@@alduinfr The soul is meaningless in the worlds view. Its only purpose was fuel for another, but Gael failed, clinging on to his forgotten mission as the world crumbles to ash. If the world really does move in cycles maybe it completely restarts, but the painting will most likely never be finished and it will all fade to ash.
Gael is in the literal and the metaphorical sense a literal max soul level character. He embodies everything about humanity which shook Gwyn to his core. Gwyn branded humanity with the darksign and tried his hardest to keep the fleeting era of fire ablaze, but in the end all of his fears came true. The apex of existence in the end was a lowly slave knight who was sent as fodder for the battles of the gods.
That’s why I love about this trilogy so much, we first started off as nothing but a lowly-hollow, tied to an indefinite cycle of eternal suffering and "salvation" manifested through manipulation in the form of rekindling the First Flame time and time again to continue Gwyn’s legacy and restrict humanity from ever achieving its true potential. In the end, the world still remains completely destroyed, reduced to nothing but ash, and what stands as the final challenge? A lowly-hollow, encompassing the entirety of humanity’s struggles and ultimate potential through the manifested Dark Soul against another lowly-hollow. Poetic, isn’t it.
eh i think hes the most hype but mechanically, he's been surpassed multiple times. nothing matches the spectacle but when it comes to the mechanics of the fight itself, i think fromsoft has surpassed it several times over. still one of my favorite bosses though
@@epsilon1372 I think Gael didn't get surpassed mechanically but fromsoft definetily made equals of him. Even though the lore, arena, and ost is still by far the best. Like we fight gael at the end of the time as two nobodies for dark soul.
The most fun thing about Slave in terms of character, ignoring mechanics, his lore and character is absolutely amazing. Gael was a person with us all along in our journey to free humanity, and that personal connection he has with us really elevates the fight we have with him. Additionally, he was similar to us in every way, like looking at the mirror. With the only difference being that he got to his goal before us. Seeing Gaels decent into madness is sad but all the more satisfying for the fight ahead. There is no God but the human born soul.
@@froggie610 one of my dissapointments on elden ring is that we couldn't see a boss fight like Gael, Ludwig or Artorias lore wise. I'd love to see a tarnished boss fight, he was once like us but right now totally lost his mind so we gotta fight. I know it is classic but very cool concept. There is godfrey but he does not feel the same.
at the end of it all, there was no grand battle between two gods of opposing ideologies, no champions in a final clash, no good and evil in the last duel. just two nobodies fighting over nothing
This makes the ending is above and beyond as the senselessness combined with determination of both fighters engulfs players, who we all are, in the abyss of despair and exhausting woe.
Since the old vids got taken down, i'll restore my old comment: "And on the right if you look, you'll see two naked guys fighting over a can of paint!"
@@Jack135- Such a shame it gets written off as just a mecha game, and that drives people away from it. I bought it solely because it was a Fromsoft title and honestly it might be my favorite one. Top 3 at least. Story is fucking amazing, gameplay is fucking amazing. AC6 will make you love Mech games.
One of the greatest boss fights in gaming history and perfect ending of Dark Souls trilogy ,,What still here? Hand it over that thing your Dark soul for my lady's painting"
Gael vs Us is probably the most climactic anti-climactic climax I’ve ever experienced. Two nobodies nowhere fighting over nothing at the end of…well at the End. With a capital E. The final battle isn’t between a lord and a god. A man or a dragon. But an undead, and an unkindled. Fighting for nothing but their own lives. Also, Gael’s “cape” isn’t a cape in 2nd phase. Nope. Them’s is wings. “Slave” Knight Gael, has grown flaming red powerful wings.
The way the drums transition into cymbals in phase 2 to symbolize thunder turning into lightning is so fucking cool. I could write an essay on all the little details this song has.

An old man who overcame everything just to fulfill a promise he was the low of the lowest but his determination makes him a powerful being, honestly Gael its not the hardest bossfight but damn his lore is very inspirational an tragic
Eh gael is still awesome and none have reached his level presentation-wise but mechanically, id say he’s been surpassed numerous times especially with Messmer
@@snakepersan i dont think its fair to say Messmer has no character. Gael does have a lot of buildup, but he's also a stranger to the ringed city. Messmer's influence, however, can be felt far and wide. Gravesite plains show how many people he's killed. Many item descriptions set up messmer's flame as having unique properties normal fire does not have. He has many people who are loyal to him like Relanna and Gaius as well as different levels of troops. We also get a lot of character from his backstory with Marika. I do prefer Gael's lore, but its incredibly disingenuous to say Messmer has no character when there is clearly tons of lore about him.
I didn't expect the final boss to be as good as Gael, but I didn't think it would be that bad. Its quality is nowhere near Gael's. The DLC was generally very good, but the final boss was a real disappointment.
two humans who lasted longer than any living thing in the universe, including the gods and “everlasting dragons”, battling it out at the edge of the end of time, so a girl can have her paint to make a new world. thank you from soft for this masterpiece.
"What.. Still here?" "Hand it over, that thing you have.." "The Most Replayed Timestamp.." "For my ladys patience." "Ahh... Is this 1:58 the timestamp of the most replayed?.." "... 4:53 *sick ass pose"*
I always come back to the reuploads just to say that to this day, the arena, the soundtrack, the boss, the story, all is perfect in this fight. It was my most enjoyable boss fight, probably ever.
Lord, how many years have passed, as the DLS to DS3 came out, and the theme of Gael still breaks me in the nobility. Every time something breaks in me. The battle with him is the most difficult part for me only because of music. Not a single music in Elden Ring was such a response in me. Damn, I played the ring in Elden for 620+ hours and I do not remember a single soundtrack. I bought Deluxe with songs that I listened and every time: it was in the game? I don't remember...
Nothing goes harder than Gael's phase 2 cutscene. Ok hold on lemme include Ludwig's 2nd Phase cutscene as a tie because the shot with him holding the MGS is RAW AS FUCK.
Gael isnt my favorite boss but hes easily the best fromsoft dlc final boss Edit: What am i saying hes definitely my favorite now lmao such a good boss fight
I will never forget my solo fight against him. Took me an ungodly amount of tries, but I never felt happier with a boss than with him. He is Fromsoft's best boss.
In fact, I actually listened to this ost before playing any dark souls game, so I spent the entire trilogy and bloodborne looking forward to fighting him. I was NOT dissapointed.
I believe Slave Knight Gael, Isshin the Sword Saint and Ludwig the Holy Blade are where the boss design philosophy peaked and even Elden Ring's best fights just feel like they were scratching their heads in a boardroom trying way too hard to come up with ways to top them.
That descending melody that you can barely make out in the background during the 4:54 climax really shows how Gael is slowly losing himself to both the fight with us outside and the sheer strength of the dark soul inside. His body is collapsing and his soul is dying.
I know Eldenring is beautiful and magnificent, both from the magic enemies throw at us and the effects that look grand and powerful, but in terms of 1v1 deadly combat, This is the best.
How the hell are there people saying that Messmer, Radahn or Maliketh compare to this boss? None of them come even close to him in terms of OST, battle setting, lore, or anything whatsoever.
@@soundandfury9641 she isn't his niece its just a mistranslation error, in japanese painting lady refers to gael in a word that just is to refer to a friendly old man but it gets mistranslated to uncle in english
@@creeperYT9824 it's still uncle. Like how sterotypical texans call people "son". And she's also a child(at least looks like one), so it makes sense to call the old man Uncle Gael.
Its just not possible. The atmosphere, the location (end of time where everything has crumbled to dust), the lore (last two humans who remained fighting for the dark soul)... the absolute melancholic and bittersweet ending to grant the ashen one rest in a cold gentle place of a painting. It cant be topped
I think it’s hard to reach the same level in terms of atmosphere and build up but I would say both sekiro and elden ring have multiple bosses that surpass gael on a pure mechanical level. And this is coming from someone who probably has gael at number 2 or 3
Gael is the peak coming of Dark Souls lore, with a moveset that fits him perfectly and a camera that tracks him perfectly, as long as they keep try sneaking in 10 second combos that make no sense or camera fuckeries in future bosses he will always clear them
3:20 - 4:00 is the best thing I've ever heard. Yeah, I know, there is Ludwig Holy Blade, The First Hunter etc., but NOTHING IN MY 17 YEARS OF LIVING ON THIS PLANET has gave me goosebumps so many times
Dark souls 1: Peleamos contra el hombre que encontró el alma oscura. Dark souls II: Peleamos contra las hijas del alma oscura. Dark souls III: Peleamos contra un hombre que fue consumida por el alma oscura, prácticamente peleamos contra el alma oscura.
I love all fromsoft games, but man dark souls 3 is just the best in my opinion. Best Bosses Best OSTS Best Fanservice, bringing back old amor sets and scenarios Best Waifu the Firekeeper And the best fucking boss for game ending Soul of Cinder and also Gael!
I don’t wanna say BB is worth spending that kind of money for a PS5, but I Don’t see a possible port in the future my guy. In my opinion it’s better than all of the SoulsBorne games

hand over your dark soul
I will never forget my solo fight against him. Took me an ungodly amount of tries, but I never felt happier with a boss than with him. He is Fromsoft's best boss.
In fact, I actually listened to this ost before playing any dark souls game, so I spent the entire trilogy and bloodborne looking forward to fighting him. I was NOT dissapointed.

Bone Chilling 🥶
me too
Ikr, every time gives me shivers up my spine
Hawk Tuah Respect 👍🏽 :v
I believe Slave Knight Gael, Isshin the Sword Saint and Ludwig the Holy Blade are where the boss design philosophy peaked and even Elden Ring's best fights just feel like they were scratching their heads in a boardroom trying way too hard to come up with ways to top them.
Is that even an opinion anymore at this point
@@upsideproductions2 Not really but I'm sure someone out there whose first souls game was Elden Ring will do mental gymnastics to deny it
@@youngkappakhan lol, that’s extremely true sadly.
Inner Isshin is the best boss fight of all time to be honest I don’t think it’s possible to top it
Messmer is up there though
You know that shit gets reals when the last boss says the name of the game. This battle is going to be legendary
Messmer and Gael> final elden dlc boss

i love the fact that Gael turned into the Dark Souls ™

🙏 thank you
1:59 got me like 😮
That descending melody that you can barely make out in the background during the 4:54 climax really shows how Gael is slowly losing himself to both the fight with us outside and the sheer strength of the dark soul inside. His body is collapsing and his soul is dying.
Best seconds in the whole track
I know Eldenring is beautiful and magnificent, both from the magic enemies throw at us and the effects that look grand and powerful,
but in terms of 1v1 deadly combat,
This is the best.
Ah yes, Dark Souls III. When the DLC's final boss wasn't super disappointing.
the only disappointing Dark souls DLC final boss I can think of is Sinh, and that's really it
Incorrect. Elden Ring DLC final boss rules
Hand it over. That thing your doubts about this dlc and ds as a series in general
How the hell are there people saying that Messmer, Radahn or Maliketh compare to this boss? None of them come even close to him in terms of OST, battle setting, lore, or anything whatsoever.
Messmer, Radahn and Maliketh are all great bosses.
Gael is simply superior.
Margit is better than gael, those you typed are leagues above him.
Literally every boss listed is superior to Gael in the most important aspect of any fight that being the gameplay
@@sirballsfitzroy9294delusion to the maximum.
The Strongest Simp in History vs The Strongest Simp of Today
Hey man he did it for his NIECE don’t call him a simp that’s weird
@@soundandfury9641 Uncle Gael is thus based
@@soundandfury9641 she isn't his niece its just a mistranslation error, in japanese painting lady refers to gael in a word that just is to refer to a friendly old man but it gets mistranslated to uncle in english
@@creeperYT9824 it's still uncle. Like how sterotypical texans call people "son". And she's also a child(at least looks like one), so it makes sense to call the old man Uncle Gael.
Bandai stop trying to take down every OST upload challenge
(impossible)
\[T]/ praise the Re-upload, long may the sun shine on this Uploader
The most epic slice of toast I’ve ever eaten
FS wont make a boss better than gael in the future
Laughing at all the fools saying Radahn is better, Gael will never be topped
@@TheRealSkulldozerpersonally i think messmer rivals its
Its just not possible. The atmosphere, the location (end of time where everything has crumbled to dust), the lore (last two humans who remained fighting for the dark soul)... the absolute melancholic and bittersweet ending to grant the ashen one rest in a cold gentle place of a painting. It cant be topped
I think it’s hard to reach the same level in terms of atmosphere and build up but I would say both sekiro and elden ring have multiple bosses that surpass gael on a pure mechanical level. And this is coming from someone who probably has gael at number 2 or 3
Gael is the peak coming of Dark Souls lore, with a moveset that fits him perfectly and a camera that tracks him perfectly, as long as they keep try sneaking in 10 second combos that make no sense or camera fuckeries in future bosses he will always clear them
3:20 - 4:00 is the best thing I've ever heard. Yeah, I know, there is Ludwig Holy Blade, The First Hunter etc., but NOTHING IN MY 17 YEARS OF LIVING ON THIS PLANET has gave me goosebumps so many times
After see the Elden ring dlc final boss…. Gael still better than
Thx for no spoilers
If it wasn't for his cancer 2nd phase he would be up there for me with Gael 🙏
@@GreenTea4 huh? Cancer? That’s radahn soul in mogh's body, that’s bs
@@GreenTea4 it's as if Gael was modded. Those light bolts around the attack's arc give me an enhanced difficulty mod vibe
way better*
Dark souls 1: Peleamos contra el hombre que encontró el alma oscura.
Dark souls II: Peleamos contra las hijas del alma oscura.
Dark souls III: Peleamos contra un hombre que fue consumida por el alma oscura, prácticamente peleamos contra el alma oscura.
That one BMF that makes pink look like the manliest colour.
I love all fromsoft games, but man dark souls 3 is just the best in my opinion.
Best Bosses
Best OSTS
Best Fanservice, bringing back old amor sets and scenarios
Best Waifu the Firekeeper
And the best fucking boss for game ending Soul of Cinder and also Gael!
YUKA GOATMURA!!! 👑👑👑
Gael was the final boss of the final DLC of the final Dark Souls game. Basically, the Dark Souls experience culminates with this guy.
Ornstein and Smough, Ishinn, Messmer, and Gael are the peaks of their respective games. Havent played BB yet because i dont have playstation.
I don’t wanna say BB is worth spending that kind of money for a PS5, but I Don’t see a possible port in the future my guy.
In my opinion it’s better than all of the SoulsBorne games
@@andrewleon985current hope is an emulator
I come bearing the possibility of good news

Artorias is the best ds1 boss
Man the phase transitions are fore
Fire not fore
Best boss fucking ever in history, greatest of all times
エルデンリング本編も dlcクリアしたけど、これを超える曲はなかったなあ…
やっぱゲール戦は曲も内容も最高だな。
Goodbye, Dark Souls.
