I have been resurrected to bring you MORE MEDIOCRE CONTENT
Have you read Qizeaqfile's Dark Souls comic? It covers the period leading up to the war between Gwyn's forces and the ancient dragons. The Nameless King is one of the main characters. Beautiful Berserk-style artwork and a savvy take on the lore! Not a lot of people seem to know about it, but I think you'll dig it.
gregvalou i read it quite a while ago, it might have been incomplete at that stage. I reaaaaally liked the art work but I couldn’t get into the dialogue. Maybe I’ll give it another look.
@@panokostouros7609 ouch
@@mitchl6896 I know how to inspire my favorite content creators 😏
P.S. You got a new mic? Sounding pretty clean
@Only Cancer In our hearts.

If you're planning on dissing goth girls, you best be prepared to square up, matey.
Go for the big tiddy goth gfs not the skeltal ones
@@PunkZombie1300 Excuse you, I'll bang a wheel skele if I want. Might as well, they've already fucked me countless times already.
Goth girls are the best.

You all keep forgetting the most badass character of all: Sieglinde of Catarina, the daughter of Siegmeyer. She traversed Lordran to find her father and she is NOT undead, she's human. Any death would have ended her and yet she managed to survive and succeed in her mission.
Yea shes aight, still not badass enough to be put on the list tho.. Also her role is VERY little..
she probably just waits for us to beat the boss to progress
@@meghavshukla641 WOW...not...
The Ivory King wasn't just a chaos slaying badass, he literally instilled courage and honor into a shard of Manus that is the literal embodiment of fear. He was so epic that he made fear loyal to the end of time, in her own words
The Ivory King is the most successful King in the franchise
No bc his sacrifice lead to the demise of his kingdom
The Ivory King doesn't get points for having a hot abyss wife?
There's some that think IK was a woman, the theory has merit, I'm neither here nor there on it though
Still had a hot abyss wife, and they didnt even get betrayed!
Not to mention that his wife was a real plain and loving waifu unlike those other douches that just want to kill their husbands.
@@aldrixlevy228 they probably had bomb sex tho
@@bigdog517 There's no heir unfortunately, but maybe because human/lord dick cannot comprehend with the deepness of their "Abyss"
Artorias should have points off for skipping legday.
I dont think he did skip it do you see his jumps?
Patches literally kicked thousands of asses, over thousands of years. I believe a little show of gratitude is in order..
True
Bit of correction here. Painting lady needed BLOOD of the dark soul, but pygmy blood dried long ago so gael was forced to consume them and the dark soul, making blood of the dark soul his own
Yes that's what he realized when his blood fell onto the sword it's what gave him that extra strength to perform his last stand
I'm missing Patches in the top 3. This motherfucker kept himself sane and undead through 2000+ years just by his own will (and by punishing people for their sins).
Most iconic kicks in videogames period.
Has seen everything and everyone die, fail, and fade into nothingness and somehow keeps going forward.
He only fights when it is completely necessary (or when some cleric needs some ass kickin).
Has a secret heart of gold. He's extremely loyal, and can't admit he wants to help you.
He's the last human at the end of the world and without time warping tricks unlike The Ashen One!
His laughs are the only non-ironic/sad ones in the whole trilogy. He's genuinely having fun... Sometimes.
Charismatic AF, would forgive again.
No fucking flaws.
Was looking for a like minded fellow. Patches is underrated. Gael number 1 and Patches number 2 I terms of badassitude in the Souls series. Not even close in my opinion.
That BERSERK music always gives me the chills...
Whats the song called?
that song has alot of feeling to it.
bro thank you i was wondering why that music was so memorable yet melancholic
Talan is a dude beherit ost
Nothing will be wrong 🙂
Hononrable Mentions:
Black Iron Tarkus for obvious reasons
Solaire because he got so far using basic equipment without special enhancements
Aldritch because he literally ate Gwyndolin, and maybe Nito too
Fume Knight and Velstadt too
@D Adams it's trap...
@D Adams There is no going back now mate
@D Adams Nigga, you gay.
Solaire literally beat gwyn with normal equipment
Who wouldn't eat Gwyndolin given the chance?
Actually, Gwynn "sacrifice" was the worst thing that could be happening to humanity.
1- It prolonged the Age of Fire, which had the shrunk the Age of the Dark in between the Age of Fire and the Age of Deep Sea. The Age of Dark should be the age where humanity would be on its strongest. Basically, he prolonged the age of fire so much, that the Age of the Deep Sea (Aldritch Lore) is coming much faster than it should.
2- Created the undead curse,. This way, the humans are basically coal to the fire. They will collect the souls to burn in the fire or go hollow.
3- His son, the Nameless King sided with the dragons after seeing the slaughter Gwynn was doing. The Dragons were already defeated, but Gwynn drove them to almost extinction. That would be true if the Nameless King didn't interfere to protect them.
4- I would say that he prolonged the age of fire in fear of what humanity would do with the gods (like him) when it would be the strongest. In a way, humanity never reached it´s peak because of him. In the end, it didn't matter, since the gods died anyway, leaving humanity with the undead curse which compels them to link the fire and prolong the Age of Gods, with no god.
He's just a selfish coward that's afraid of the dark, like a child that needs a night light constantly turned on
@@d.n5287 "Fear not the dark my friend, and let the feast begin"
Ok to be honest I think Artorias and Gael should have their spots switched. Artorias failed his mission and Gael literally made it to the end of the world as one of the last beings existing! After all that time I don’t think you should take points for memory trouble, he didn’t get to time travel to the end like we did
P.S. good to have you back
I agree with you but I still think Gwyn should be #1. He ended an era and prevented another.
True, and we never really saw him at full power, we only saw his burnt-out husk after he linked the fire and already split his soul several times..... though he should still lose a point for being afraid of the dark. A Gwyn vs. Gael fight would actually be pretty interesting now that I’m thinking about it
Thanks for sticking up for me. You don't know the half of the troubles I went through to find the Pygmy Lord's BY CHANCE just hanging out and playing in the sand...
Completely agree with you. In my opinion people find hard to move on from something that they have already invested in. For example eventhough Gael's legend is far more buff than Artorias's , most people will think otherwise.
Ivory King should be at least top 3, if not on number one.
He is literally the greatest hero in the DS franchise
@Setzer K all pussies
@Setzer K or Gael
No Iron “Rules of Nature” Tarkus?
TARKUS! TARKUS! TARKUS!
Ooooo that would have been a good inclusion.
The only thing is he died like a goofball though
@@Caine187 you've never fallen off of those narrow ass rafters?
He didnt fall off the rafters, he jumped to have an Express ride to the underworld to fight more worthy foes than dress wearing knife throwing losers who like art.
Gael is number 1. He isnt forgetful without a reason.... he lived till the end of time. He did what Gwyn never could. He let go of the flame and embraced the dark. Thats the final lesson from dark souls 3.... everyone had been trying to extend things past their intended end... and thats where the unded curse came from. Its about letting go.... and making something new.
Mister Turk Turkle Gael is a fucking Legend
As far as we know he was possibly one of the last 3 living things. You, that one hammer lady, him.
@@HexManiac-nf1yg and one pygmy lord
That ringed knight too
The dude doesn't wear pants. Nuff said.
Plot twist: the greatest badass is you, the player. I mean, who defeated all of these guys?
I was gonna say, that's probably the fairest pick of them all. I mean c'mon we even beat Gael, the only other living creature who made it to the end of the world. A mere undead, unfit to link the flame, destined to suffer many a death, yet we prevail.
@@massivegat5087 I think that's the message Dark Souls is trying to tell us: to endure and move on, no matter the odds.
@@massivegat5087 what about the ringed knight that hangs about in gael's arena? he doesn't despawn, so _THEY'RE_ the last!
@@StilvurBee Wait is there really a ringed knight that hangs out in Gael's arena? It's been a good 5 months since I last played DS3 and I wonder how I missed such a detail lol
@@massivegat5087 yeah lol, it's very odd

Am I the only one bothered by some of the lore inaccuracies?
No
If black iron "the beast" tarkus isn't here I will revolt.
Edit: How DARE you
Yet gwyn the dickhead and that one dead loser warrior with no head from ds2 are.
Smh.
Sergeant Butters i mean when u think about it all he did was clear zens fortress. If thats the case the logan is a badass. Also he died in a stupid way. He either died to fall damage or a bunch or a bunch of painting knights
@@dimyell tarkus does literally nothing to be here
@@blackvalio4060 really late, but getting your head get cut off does? Thinking emoji
Edit:tarkus helps you take on the demon, he can even 1v1 him, and tarkus was the only solder from his group to make it so far.
@@dimyell Yeah, actually. Being decapitated does a hell of a lot to make you a badass if you know.. You're so strong that your body KEEPS FIGHTING AFTERWARDS. AND your head still survives. With no HEART to pump BLOOD to your BRAIN. You're just jealous that you don't radiate the same RAW, ANIMAL sexual energy that Vengarl does.
No Fume Knight. I'm fuming.
No shit how did he ever lose to Valstad sorry ass.
@@rakanalajmi6169 pontiff made dancer his bitch too
That pun though
Ivory king deserves points for dicking a daughter of the abyss into such loyalty, that she didn't just yeet the plan of betrayal, but stayed with him for eons after he got stomped by a magic bonfire. That helmet is not fashioned after his upper _head,_ I'll tell you...
Ivory king the fucking yottachad
Not only that but he knew she wasn't to be trusted but he was so OP he just went along with it anyway because he knew he could stop her at any time
@@mook8799
Also artorius
If it weren’t for sif , he would have stopped the abyss with his giga enchanted shield and sword
WTF looool
Personally I think the ivory king deserves more, i mean the guy knew she was a child of the abyss but he still married and protected her, and because of him she turned to the good side, and if I recall he purposely built the city over the old chaos to contain it, that’s what those badass pets were for as well as those golems and the very walls themselves, also he put his own throne right in front of the entrance to the old chaos so he would be the first line of defense, and when he knew chaos was about to break loose he left his entire kingdom and the responsibility for containing the chaos to his wife, (a child of manus), who he knew she would do anything he asked of her, and took off to fight the chaos face to face knowing full well he would lose, but he did it for the sake others.
Ivory King is an absolute Badass... to bad I hate the charred loyce knight gank in his fight...
I honestly feel like Artorias is getting a bit underrated by some of these comments just because he failed his mission. He was sent to quell the Abyss *alone.* Let that sink in. He was such a badass that Gwyn decided to send him to fight a literal army of dark monsters without sparing a single extra soldier to help him out.
I don’t think any other character on this list would’ve succeeded in his quest. Sure, he failed, but when we find him, he’s bringing out every last bit of his strength to wrestle with the Abyss that’s corrupting him, he’s still trying to take out as many Abyssal creatures as he can, and he can still whoop our asses with his goddamn off-hand. He also loves dogs, so that’s instantly +100 badass points.
Gael. He "lived" and fought to the end of time and returned the dark soul of man, which means he absorbed nearly every bit of humanity scattered through the world. If a cute girl would ask Gael to quell the abyss, then he would do it with shocking dedication. He would fight, die and fight some more, and he would not only succeed, he would succeed with style and russian hardbase music. There would be no abysal creature left after this little red riding hood is done with his mission. The forgetfulness has to be forgiven, he was around for longer than anyone, and we dont now how long he hunted down the fragments of the dark soul until we meet him at the end of time.
But no one will remember what Gael did, because almost no one in the world knows about the world in the painting. Gael saved some magic paint, whilst Artorias set out on a mission to save the World. Plus Gael has no doggo.
Zaifir but artorias kicked the undead’s ass with his left hand, that wasn’t even his sword hand. He also traversed the abyss and protecc his doggo
Sure, Gael made it to the end of the world, but so did patches,a pilgrim, a lot of Pygmy lords, and the lady with the crucifix
Soooo....
Gael is cool, don’t get me wrong, but he’s a slave knight who can’t technically die (until we killed him)
@@sir_knight_arthorias209 @Buckedhead plays Sure, no one will now about Gaels quest, while Artorias is known as a hero, that does not change the fact that his quest was a bigger task then Artorias's. I'm not saying Artorias is not a absolute badass, but Gael is on another level. Lorewise he didn't beat the chosen undeads ass, the chosen undead fought and defeated a weakened artorias. Beeing corupted might've made him stonger than he was at his peak. Also i'm more of a cat person, so Ivory King is more badass too in my opinion.
No he skipped leg day so he’s a bitch idc what people say
Wolnir you mean Vape Lord Memenir
Abyss Watchers you mean Ymfah's Bitches?
Swolnir
He just vape all day every day
I think the ivory king should get an extra point for being 1 of the few actually good people in dark souls(the four knights of Gwyn are pretty cool people)
also: He trusted that his wife (who like good ol' Nash was born of the abyss) would do good and she did. That is much more than Vendrick, or the king of Shulva achieved.
@@mbnhiphopmusik6429 It's DEFINITELY more than Gwyn or Old Iron Ass did.
Gwyn was not human he was a god
Last I knew he was only a God because he found the Lord soul and ascended
No he was the god of sunlight
@@cyrax030helix9 he made himself a god when he found the soul of light. But before that he was not even a human himself but more one of the creatures that existed before. Mind you, the dark soul was it that granted the things that lived before the war with the dragons humanity, and it was most likely discovered after the other three souls but before the war with the dragons.
If Seigward isn't at the top of the list for bum rushing a fire demon with you just cuz, Imma be mad.
Gwyn isn't Human, he is born of Fire which makes him a God. We, the Humans are born of Dark, he didn't link the fire or give us power he literally did the opposite because he feared humanity which is why he cursed us with the Dark Sign which limited humanity's naturally powerful Dark power
Wolnir's death animation is the most terrifying animation in the series. He gets dragged down into the abyss, in full terror he tries to scream but he's just a skeleton.
What I don't like about him is how he is seemingly so important and powerful, but outside of his bossfight he really seems to have little to no influence over the world, other than maybe the connection to Yhorm (which could've also been the Giant Lord from DS2, so it's not clear if it was Wolnir who is the ancestor of Yhorm). Lothric is supposedly the capital of the world, where the most important shit takes place (First Flame, Old Royalty, etc.) and yet Wolnir is this super powerful conqueror nobody has heard of. That, and how did this guy just pop out of nowhere? Is he connected to the Old Royalty in any way? How about the Giants from DS1 or DS2? If not, what is he? Just some guy (a human?) who conquered, gathered and consumed souls and thus grew in size? It seems inconsistent and wishy washy to me. Kinda like the devs just threw together a bunch of stuff and didn't really care to make it fit, putting the burden of making it fit on the lore enthusiasts who will read into it too far.
I wish his boss fight was an actual duel like Logarius in Bloodborne tbh. Good points.
Some say that Wolnir is the player character of DS2 but since I haven't played that much I won't agree to that theory.
On a side note carthus was just another kingdom in the many lines of kingdom that was build and collapsed , you don't actually get to see the Kingdom of Carthus , you just see the burried remains of its Catacombs after the Undead Legion swiped trough the place.
Carthus was this big glorious kingdom that took kingdoms at the size of Lothric and many others under its rule and the fact that now there is only catacombs left should be enough to understand that even such mighty legends are forgotten, just like Artorias who lost its name and became "The Wolf Knight" in DS3.
The thought of his story being inconsistent and wishy washy is kinda analogous to ds3 as a whole. A lot of stories in that game just feel incomplete. Take for instance Sirris’ quest. It feels like have of it just got deleted and nobody bothered to redo it
@@Jskierka2295 Sorry, but if you are looking for complete and/or easily comprehensible storylines, then you might be wrong at Dark Souls ;)
@@mehmetcaneren4042 it would make no sense, your Dark Souls 2 character seeks a cure, not power
Tarkus, just saying he only fell because he was too heavy

Dude, I love your content, I know Dark Souls as a whole isn't as popular as it once was, but I really appreciate even videos that you called mediocre! Thank you for keeping it up.
Year ago: makes video “DS2 critique” that people use to this day as an explanation of why “DS2 sucks”, saying “DS2 has forgettable characters, doesn’t remember any names after first playthrough”.
Now: *puts Vengarl in the thumbnail*
Times, they are a changing!🎶
Glad to know you're still working on the Ornstein story!
I cannot overstate just how much I love the fact that you have the Berserk audio in the background for your intro.
GG man.
To be honest Gael > Artorias, he’s even more Guts of Artorias itself
Thank you for making this video! I loved the inclusion of the Berserk OST, and it was exceptionally fitting to end with the Guts song as you spoke of great characters with tragic ends such as Artorias. Outstanding work, my friend!
I’m glad you are still cranking out vids Mitch L. great work
Good to see you again mitch!
good too see that you are back
Thanks!
I liked this video a lot. Wish you would make more stuff again. You're one of my favorite Souls related youtubers. :)
Righteous list, appreciate the fleshing out of all the choices and the reasoning for their positions, big ups for showing love to my overlooked favs of DS2. Also I agree, Slave Knight Gael is the best boss fight in all of Souls.
Top job as always mitch boy
Unsure if you're still peeping your comments, but found you recently and have absolutely binged all your lore content, I now end on this.
Earned yourself a fan a year after your last video haha, nice one bro. Really love the research and the "non rushed" way you speak. 👏
Brendan Monshall thanks man. I do still peep the comments and I do want to make more vids. Stay tuned.
That feeling when you're so strong you don't need your head
That Berserk music just earned you a new sub. :)
A FromTDS what song was that?
Why is not Jester Thomas on this list. He is the most badass pyromancer ever. He solos Mythia og you summon him 💪
Not to mention the thrashing he serves the player when he invades... or maybe that's because I'm bad at fighting pyromancers...
@@svartrbrisingr6141 Yeah, he is a absolute unit. Only two invaders gave me more trouble than Jester Thomas. Sad to say, but Armorer Dennis and Ofc Maldron (Fucking hate Maldron)
@@2masVT I only find Forlorn harder then him... but then again forlorn 2 shots my character
@@2masVT Yeah no argument there fuck Maldron right in his lance-hole.
I really like that this video selects and compares badasses from *all three Dark Souls* . Scholar of the Sin is often recieving so much bashing. This is like to see reunited family. :D And the music from Berserk is obviously amazingly good choice for the background. :)
Love how dark souls 2 also gets highlighted in this video. So many badass characters
no downsides to artorias? he died a loser if you think about it. your character has to clean up his mess. also, there's nothing ingame which definitively states artorias and ciaran are in love. i believe gough hints at ciaran harboring feelings for artorias but nothing about whether he felt the same. hell, the only time they're mentioned together is when the Four Knights of Gwyn are explicitly named.
I’m like 80 percent sure ciran calls Artorias her love when you kill her
Ethan Edens she says "my dear Artorias" and that doesn't disprove my point. it's still never stated her feelings were returned.
D Adams i didn't say he wasn't brave or that his goals weren't noble, but he still lost. which by definition makes him a loser...
Technically, by that logic, everyone in dark souls is a loser. The ones who can die, did, by the end of time, and the ones who can't, such as the chosen undead, the unkindled one, Gael, ect. Died many times, therefore losing.
Then again, this is dark souls we're talking about, so..
Git gud.
Bet all these butthurt Artorias haters can't beat him, which is why they complain. Also he's injured and battling a mental war against the abyss whilst fighting against you. He's no loser as the only reason he was defeated is that he valued the lives of others over his own, saving Sif his wolf compagnon. And we do no clean up his mess, we avenge him and save his honor. We traveled through time and because many would not understand or believe this, Elizabeth makes the decision to keep us out of the legend.
And cleaning up his mess? Artorias didn't cause the Abyss outbreak, the Oolacile citizens did, influenced by (presumably) Kath the Primordial Serpent
I love that you used music from Berserk.
The most badass character 'you' who killed every powerful being in the world of dark souls
And died multiple times and probably screamed a lot at the tv
@@sealdogderp26 nah only a child would scream at tv for dying in a game
@@KratosisGod I don't mean dying I mean bed of chaos
@@sealdogderp26 well atleast its better than true king allant
Gough's cutscene and dialogue are the best in the series.
Artorias: "No Downsides"
I could've have sworn you gave another character a
'- Was technically defeated'
earlier in the video, and wasn't Artorias *technically* defeated three times?
1: He and Siv lost to Manus
2: After giving his Shield to protect Siv (and also the fact that his arm was broken so he couldn't use it anymore anyway), which on one hand could be considered a win cuz saving the animals is always a +, he was taken by the Abyss, so you could say he 'lost' to the Abyss itself.
3: Artorias, a mighty champion (presumably) of the same mighty race as the Silver and Black Knights (tall as hell, impossibly thin, long heads) lost in a 1V1 to some random Undead who one day happened to stroll into the Arena where what remained of him was located.
Is this Artorias fanboy-ism I detect?
Yep. Blatant.
Ik im almost 4 yrs late for this but the only reason he did lose was because of sif so he either got a chance to kill manus after seeing sif get stabbed or he saves sif and gets beaten by manus it was that simple not only that he is skinny but we have to remember he would have been and even more annoying boss fight if he had none of his arms broken not only that his gear in the games is still pretty darn good all tho he did get credit for what we the player did i think its only deserving because literally decades or 1 or 2 centuries after his death a group o f warrior battle the abyss using him as inspiration not only that ornstein was the leader of the 4 knight of anor londo but he wasnt the strongest since that title goes to artorias because why would gwyn send artorias and not ornstein if ornstein was the best of all four of them
He's back!
We really need the continuation of your Dark Souls fanfiction. That stuff was great.
It's coming. Next part is half written, I just had a bit of writer's block.
All these big-scale badasses aside, don´t forget the minor scale-ones:
-Siegmeyer of Catarina - on his quest to preserve his soul through adventuring
-Lucatiel of Mirrah - on her quest to find her lost brother and overcome the curse
-Greirat of the Undead Settlement - on his quest to not die a petty rat
-Sirris of the Sunless realms - on her quest to bid goodnight to her granddad
-Ludleth of Courland - on his quest to die a colossus
His part on Gael was beautiful. I never knew Gael's story that way. Gives you a new perspective on the character
Your back awesome
Hurrah !! A dark souls’ video ahead 😌
The only problem with this list is that Black Iron Tarkus is not on it.
Great video man you should do lil vids like this
I found vengarl one of the most cool and interesting characters in DS2. I wish you could carry around his head and have him talk while you fight or giving you some hint about the world around you
Finally back with a new video. Hope you have been well chap!
love the beserk soundtrack in the background wish you were still making vids
Huge missed opportunity to not include Elder Prince Lorian. That guy was pure badassery, slayed the Demon Prince by himself, and even while crippled from the curse, he's still one of the most difficult bosses in the game. He was very caring of his brother, and was not in support of linking the fire, which is worth a gold medal.
now this is a countdown i can get behind
Bloody hell where have you been?
I might make a vid about it
*ahem* my boy Tarkus? The mightiest of the mighty? Bullied the iron golem? Dock a point for being a klutz
Very cool video idea
Pinwheel, duh.
Nah, seriously though, The knight boi who stands against chaos.
Cool video. You should do more like this.
The combination of Artorias and Berserk theme is so spot on. Like!
Lmao I LOVE that you used the track “Guts” from 1997 Berserk for Artorias.
So many youtubers that make videos like this use just totally random music from different franchises and it’s awful. This however, was a very tasteful move since Artorias is widely considered to be based off of Guts.
Really appreciated it. Great job.
I feel the Iron King should be higher.
When the old chaos awoke beneath his kingdom he placed his throne at the very edge of chaos, being the first line of defense for his people instead of hiding behind his subjects.
Fighting of waves of demons for generations tirelessly.
Not to mention he also had a hot abyss wife, knew she was from the abyss but loved her anyways and was so badass she eventually went against her own nature to support him.
PS: Artorias should be on this list but lower, since much of what he is known for is actually done by the player and not himself :P
@Lasereye57 PREACH.
I really like your content, keep up the great work. But don't feel rushed to make new videos :)
Excuse me? Artorias gets points for being a lady's man and the Ivory King DOESN'T? IK literally compassioned so hard on a shard of Manus that she WILLINGLY stayed after his consumption in fire to guard the world against the old chaos. He literally REDEEMED a CHILD OF DARK through sheer wholesomeness and romantic energy and you're telling me ARTORIAS deserves the point with the ladies more!?
Nice touch on using Beserk Music on Artorias
My ratings:
#1 Gael
#2 The Ivory King
#3 Yhorm The Giant
#4 Lorian, Elder Prince
#5 Siegward
#6 Iudex Gundyr
#7 Nameless King
#8 Artorias
#9 Pontiff Sulyvahn
#10 Patches (sounds odd, but he made it to the literal end of the world and turned out a very capable fighter)
#11 Havel The Rock
#12 Lautrec
#13 Solaire
Honorable mentions:
A bit of a tie between Gael and Ivory King
Abyss Watchers
Gwyn
Eygon of Carim
Sirris of the Sunless Realms
Anri of Astora & Horace the Hushed
Sir Alonne
Raime
Siegmeyer
Elfriede
Navlaan
Lucatiel
Creighton
My reasons for picking these:
Overall achievements and badassery, such as Gael breaking the cycle or Sulyvahn overthrowing the Gods.
Strength of will, such as Artorias' sacrifice even in failure, or Yhorm's foresight to have a friend end him if he should stray from his duty.
Perseverance, such as Siegward's taxing quest, or Lothric&Lorian's decision to deny their birthright throughout ages of suffering.
Might, such as the Nameless King being inherently among the mightiest of Gods in his very prime.
Mystery, such as the question of just how strong or majestic the likes of Lorian or Gundyr once were/could have been, or what the motives of the likes of Patches or Lautrec are.
And there we have it. Oh I also disagree with the video calling Gael forgetful. Since 2011 to 2019, if I hear the name ''Dark Souls'' Gael is the face that comes to mind. He is the epitome of the series.
That berserk theme song at the end was brilliant 👏🏽
Love the 1995 berserk ost at the start and guts theme for artorias
Re: Gael, I thought the Dark Soul was split between all humans, and to get it fully formed he had to kill literally everybody. Now THAT'S badass.
Many lore goofs in this vid
And personally id have put Gael as #1
Any Souls fan in their right mind should put Gael as number one. When every character on this list is dust Gael is the last one standing.
Mad respect for playing that theme at the end.
1. Vendrick - subdued the world and the great souls, was undefeatable - died by giving up his soul willingly, and his empty decayed husk is still unnaturally powerful
2. Aldia - escaped the cycle
...
...
...
...
3 - 9. The rest
I love this video ❤️
