Third phase is really cool and a real surprise; Pontiff makes for a fitting final boss. I don't really like that they changed his theme, though; I really love his original track.
He definitely feels like a final boss. The arena, his moveset and his importance in the lore suggest that. He also happens to be a massive skill check. Let me tell you if ds3 was your first souls game he was by far the biggest challenge in the game and maybe even in the series for a new player. He is the perfect boss to kill every noob strategy and forces you to get good. I don’t think, besides Genichiro, there was a boss that killed me more times than him. But on repeat runs he is not that hard actually.
@@silverwatchdogI would say the hardest boss in the game up to that point. I definitely couldn’t put him above the Nameless King, and honestly I wouldn’t put him above Soul of Cinder either. Let alone the big three DLC bosses.
Nah ds3 was my first souls and he was definitely a skill check and difficulty spike, but BY FAR the hardest fight for me was Abyss Watchers Edit: and Midir Edit 2: Midir takes the cake for the hardest boss in this entire freaking game for me @@silverwatchdog
Sulyvahn is so fucking cool. By far my favorite boss. It’s really a shame he wasn’t end game if not the final boss, seeing as how he masterminded a lot of what happened
Pontiff rework and Archdruid Caimar are actually the two most amazing and crazy things this mod add. They are a clever use of Sekiro's moveset (Ishin and Owl) so that they are actually fitting DS3 gameplay, despite the great differences of mechanics the two games have. And that's incredible. I hope they'll do other new boss fight with unique gameplay, though I hope they won't "delete" too much good boss fights from the original game. A bit like they did with SoC 2nd phase, imo it's not that great (it doesn't fit the boss, it would have been better on a new boss or mini boss). The little change to Gael though is kinda cool, I really like it (the triple blue lightning spear spell). It ain't much, but it works well! This mod is more than promising.
@@spartanhexus6759 Sir Alone or any samourai they want to create, it would be fitting very well I think. Though for SoC, it's a bit more than a story of soundrack imo. Despite the new phase being good (It's Ishin after all), it has less variety in moveset than SoC phase 2 had. And I feel like the boss is just having "something less" rather than "something new". Having some of these Ishin attacks with the original SoC phase 2 moveset is, on an other hand, a good idea. Some moves from Ishin works extremely well on SoC, like when he hit the ground with his feet, releasing a shockwave, before creating huge line of flames. And even in the idea of the mod, the SoC is supposed to be a God made out of every people that linked the flame. With the variety introduced in this mod in term of spells and moveset, it's kinda weird to have the final phase of the final boss being a samurai guy with 5 different attacks. But it's just my opinion over it, the job behind it remains incredible!
i also loved the headless knight. i got kicked off the stage because he pulled a combo. felt like i was fighting a siegfried from soul cal in that regard
Yeah, I agree. The fact they replaced the phase where SoC used Gwyn's moveset with Isshin's makes zero sense. Kinda ruins the whole point of SoC's existence imo.
With the (unfair) resurrection thingie you get from Soul of Cinder, that's said to revive lords of cinder for a challenge back but much more powerful, and Pontiff being a lord in this mod, you can actually expect his infinitely more difficult version to be added later.
What is this... Grey Jedi? Do you mean a Light Side Jedi that doesn't agree with the Jedi Code, like Qui-Gon Jiin or Redeemed Revan? Or do you mean the silly 'I walk the line between the Dark and Light Side'? :P
I just came back and realized you played it not as the Convergence player but as regular Dark Souls player make it easier to see how we fight this Suly without those new overpowered abilities (:
I feel like they should have kept Sulyvhan’s original theme. Then, make first phase theme play for his first health bar and then make the second part play in the new phase three.
Funnily enough Pontiff was going to be the final boss of DS3. This track that's playing was his original boss track instead we got a slower paced, more saintly version of the track which still fits. I honestly do wish for a DS4 though.
Saint Sword Isshin is a pretty cool boss but honestly his moveset looks so much better on Pontiff Sulyvahn due to his overall aesthetic and colors. Also this video is still the best one against Pontiff Sulyvahn since everyone and their mother uses spells and incantation that end the fight quickly
I'm actually surprised about the amount of damage absorption your build can handle, considering that you don't have that much of Vigor points. Can I know your build stats please?
The true definition of a Dark Souls boss. what a fight 👏🏻 he was great before but that last phase, he truly is the best of boss of the entire franchise
I don't know how music markers work in the game's files but I kind of wish they'd left the ost for his first 2 phases untouched (even though the main theme is actually his original theme) and used the main theme for phase 3.
i still have yet to fight the nameless knight and a couple other bosses in this game but this boss gave me nightmares, idk why but it took me so long to get his moves down and kill him compared to other bosses in this game
died quite a few times with the dancer (because of her grab attack) and the crystal sage, but the Pontiff is very easy to kill - killed him in first try in any build...just pay attention to his swings...they are all easy to dodge...
Its awesome to see that in later games unused content is used in other souls games because seeing pontiff turn to a sword saint type style just shows that fromsoft really likes to recycle. Its also true in the case of midir because he was supposed to have a lightning spear he could weild in his hand but they scraped it, but now in elden ring the dragons use lightning attacks and more.
@@ragenaros4475 The answer boils down to "they all use the same engine so you can copy-paste stuff" In fact, as I recall the Bloodborne dodge is already in DS3, its just obviously not used. The games were developed together and contain some stuff from each other.
Oddly I found it pretty easy to dodge his attacks at beat him first try maybe it's my experience with fume knight who Pontiff is a bit similar to but I dunno
@@DaJodad I just bought a new laptop but I dont understand these kind of graphics card or system requirement. And my lappy run normal ds3 just fine, I dont see any kind of stuterring
All weapons and armor are from The Convergence mod. The BB dodge is a separate mod that I just added. Forgot what my build was from this point but I remember having my weapon at +10 already. Fell in love with its weapon art and had stuck with it for the reminder of my playthrough as a melee build.
Really awesome fight, it's just a shame they gave him the main menu theme (which I know was technically his original theme, but I couldn't really care less), because the Pontiff OST is one of my favorite tracks in the series

Pontiff Isshin:
Sword Saint Sulyvahn: The last king of the flame.
@@BlitzkriegOmega nice one
He is the TRUE sword saint because he doesn't pull out a gun.
Nor does he use a glaive instead of a sword. Well, he does, but he's still got another one.

Almost 300000 fucking souls, and you also fought the boss for two minutes before casually picking them up. Balls of steel, man.
This is a modder, so they have no trouble adding as many souls as they wish for.
@@peezieforestem5078 shhh don't you say Santa isn't real....

3rd phase Pontiff is the definition of a boss. Relentless and merciless. Great job team 👏
no hesitation
Third phase is really cool and a real surprise; Pontiff makes for a fitting final boss. I don't really like that they changed his theme, though; I really love his original track.
I think the higher tempo makes him feel more aggressive then he is
His 3rd phase is basically, Isshin.
@@AmritZoad Yep, which is really neat.
actually that is his original track
Pontiff Sullyvahn was meant to be the final boss of Dark Souls 3, with this theme.
Pontiff has the coolest dual style in the series!
Using Isshin's moveset is sneaky brilliant. People who haven't fought Isshin probably won't even notice its lifted from somewhere else =)
Ngl recognizing the moves makes it even cooler
Those attacks look way too good, it makes sense that they're ripped
@@conniefan123yup. Sekiro just did it better than all the other games
The only final boss you’ll ever find mid game instead of at the end

Edit 2: Midir takes the cake for the hardest boss in this entire freaking game for me @@silverwatchdog
In The Convergence he actually is the final boss.
Sulyvahn is so fucking cool. By far my favorite boss. It’s really a shame he wasn’t end game if not the final boss, seeing as how he masterminded a lot of what happened
Fromsoftware sayed in an interview that he was intended to be the original final boss
5:36 the combo attack is amazing.
"HOW MY BLOOD BOILS!!!!
FACE ME ASHEN ONE!"
I feel like they should called him "Sulyvahn, King of the Eclipse".
Pontiff Sulyvahn was originally named 'Old King of the Eclipse'. This fight is probably the closest we will get to how he was originally meant to be.

this is so amazing. all i read that Pontiff Sulyvahn was supposed to be the original last boss in dark souls 3 and not cinders.
this should be the Real Final Boss(Old King of the Eclipse) with more difficult status of him

I think the mods have said they've finished work on DS3 Convergence and are now looking at Elden Ring Convergence.
The battle between a Sith Lord and a Grey Jedi 3000 BBY .
As always the sith has a cooler weapons and looks badass but looses to a generic knight/jedi

Sulyvahn the sword saint🤣🤣
How about “Sulyvahn the profaned saint of swords.”
Oh so Pontiff turns into Isshin .. woah
I feel like they should have kept Sulyvhan’s original theme. Then, make first phase theme play for his first health bar and then make the second part play in the new phase three.
Ngl pontiffs ost was bangin but his (true) original ost (the main menu theme) just elevate him from side boss to penultimate boss
this is his original theme
This is the original bruh
It might have been cooler if they kept his in game theme for his first health bar then changed it to the old king of the eclipse in the new phase 3
Pontiff Sulyvahn, the sword saint (mom im scared).
Sulivan fu*king boss
back in may days we called him
Pontiff "Unlimited Stamina" Sulyvahn
this mod taking it to the next level
3:29 the part your looking for
Sulyvahn remind me about Vergil taht pursuing POWER
Damn… this was sick af
02:19 * SOULS RETRIEVED *
I love the Bloodborne dodging ngl
I feel like Modders should ask Alex Roe if they can use some of his Remixes for the Bosses
If the deflecting mechanic would've been in this mod, Pontiff would be wrecked in that phase 3
Pontiff Sulyvahn the Sword Saint
Funnily enough Pontiff was going to be the final boss of DS3. This track that's playing was his original boss track instead we got a slower paced, more saintly version of the track which still fits.
I honestly do wish for a DS4 though.
This basically makes Pontiff Sulyvahn the hardest boss.
"Oh how my blood boils!"
3rd phase is banging
Saint Sword Isshin is a pretty cool boss but honestly his moveset looks so much better on Pontiff Sulyvahn due to his overall aesthetic and colors.
Also this video is still the best one against Pontiff Sulyvahn since everyone and their mother uses spells and incantation that end the fight quickly
I wish we got to see what crazy stuff Pontiff Sulyvahn would’ve done as the final boss he was conceptualised to be
But this will have to do ❤
That poise is scary high
I'm actually surprised about the amount of damage absorption your build can handle, considering that you don't have that much of Vigor points. Can I know your build stats please?
This should’ve been in the vanilla game. Yknow since Pontiff is basically the main villain of ds3 and all.

he was great before but that last phase, he truly is the best of boss of the entire franchise
Why does this look like spy kids 3d without the glasses on.
Disliked for missing the parry we've all had 1000 years to practice
