Unlike the other boss themes, this one doesn't get more desperate in second phase. It actually gets more heroic, because that's what you're doing. The people may not realize it, but you're saving Irithyll by slaying this tyrant. This music really reflects that.
Dude this OST hits hard AF. I remember playing The Convergence and when phase 2 began, he was doing all these combos, feints, flips, teleports, explosions, etc. while the DS3 menu OST was playing. I definitely wish it was played for a boss fight similar to how Radagon's OST was basically the Elden Ring menu OST.
crazy enough this theme was ment to be pontiffs from the get-go. He was intended to be the big bad and was the final boss. But they made it the soul of cinder.
@@josharuni547i believe he was supposed to be named "Old king of the Eclipse",but for reasons i don't know,the story for DS3 was rewritten from scratch,which is why they made those weird stuff about worlds fusing together and why everything is so confusing
I never noticed that the first phase music was actually slightly different to the main menu ost and now I wish I had cause this hits so unbelievably hard
Some uncut OSTs are amazing, one I recommend is called Halleck the Giant. Keep in mind these all get uncut because Kitamura said "No, we can do even better"
@@theonlyMoancorethis OST wasnt specifically changed because it was Sulyvahn's theme, but since he was demoted from being the final boss, they repurpose it as the main theme?
@@angeltzepesh1 The fact that Elden Ring's Radagon fight uses the main theme of the game suggests that they wanted to do this for Dark Souls 3 originally, but couldn't. So his theme and the main theme were probably the same on purpose.
I've literally only just realised after seeing it's use in this mod it's obvious that "Old King Of The Eclipse" was originally meant for Sulyvahn phase one, and that the more bombastic Main Menu theme would have been phase two.
@@wortwortwortgogogo3968 DS3 was my first soulslike ever, before that it was all minecraft/terraria/stardew valley/sandbox/simulator games. I spent a pitiful 9 hours getting my ass whooped by him.. Safe to say, when I completed ds3, I played through elden ring, then restarted my ds3 journey from the start only to kill him on the first try. I miss being shit, but I'm also glad I get to experience some of the bosses without needing summons
It's so suiting actually if you think about it. Normally this is the main (menu) theme of Dark souls 3 as we all know. But what most don't know is that Pontiff was actually gonna be the final boss of Dark Souls 3 originally which was changed during development. So yea it kinda makes sence that he would get this theme!
“Yee that seeketh the solace of flame shalt ev'r be wrapp'd in shadow. The glory of the dead gods is nothing, likened by thy pitiful intent. Beest only what thou art...Ash."
all those phases only for him to pull out the phase of all phases Now imagine if they added a phase 4 with a shadow like phase 2 but doing exactly what phase 3 did I would yeet myself off a cliff 4 times I swear
@@firstorderblade4432 this would have been even better. Soul of Cinder, while fun and nostalgia filled, is a bit lacking final boss for the base game.
@@Nobody32990 HELLLLLL no he was not lacking. Tf were you smoking playing the game? The biggest moveset in the entire series, the best ost in the game, and a fantastic arena and lore. Sure sully is fantastic, but so is cinder. probably the best conceptual boss fromsoft has ever made
@@Nobody32990 why, the whole point of the boss is that it's fighting against the manifestation of the first flame itself. why would pontiff be a better final boss?
@@thefirefades i assume pontiff wouldve have been very different if they kept to the original plan but souls of cinder is definitely the better choice still he concludes the base game of ds3 way better

You can’t save irithyll , he already turned everyone into monsters there
@@flamingliver But you can save more people from getting turned into monsters
Eeem it's heroic and the theme reflects that you're saving irythryll broo, 🤓👆

The new ost for the menu is literally 100x better
Bro, imagine:
First Phase: Godwyn, the Golden
Second Phase: Godwyn, Prince of Death
I never noticed that the first phase music was actually slightly different to the main menu ost and now I wish I had cause this hits so unbelievably hard

Old King Of The Eclipse is such an incredible song and it's a real shame that it doesn't exist in the main game
I've literally only just realised after seeing it's use in this mod it's obvious that "Old King Of The Eclipse" was originally meant for Sulyvahn phase one, and that the more bombastic Main Menu theme would have been phase two.
Very well done, even though the two parts are recognizable they've been oriented to sound like a completely different song.
i had to use an online video editor since premiere pro expired lol
I basically just mixed the old king of the eclipse and the 2nd part of the main theme together.
you could made the 2nd part more extended but its fine after all
@@kwstasMP4 I might make a better version where I’ll do that
@@impulsivejury7482 can you make a extended version of phase 2?
The violin ( I think ) part at 1:38 was just superb.
This is the fight this man deserved.
He's the main "villain" of DS3, but he got the Gwyn treatment. Amazing buildup, only to be parryable.
@@theonlyMoancore tbf he's way harder than Gwyn, and definitely takes a bit of practice to parry, he kicks everyone's ass when they just start
he was to be the final boss of the game, But they replaced him with Soul of Cinder

4:03 Phase 1 and 5:07 Phase 2
Almost uncanny this mod came out before Elden Ring. It's so good.
Thanks for the best music combis
Feels like what the menu theme should be when you reach NG+9
Hmm... Shame I got to NG+13
Best theme and boss fight in the series, sad it’s modded, but either way ds3 is the goat of boss fights
Someone needs to mash this up with Radagon’s theme in Elden Ring.
Great!
all those phases only for him to pull out the phase of all phases
Now imagine if they added a phase 4 with a shadow like phase 2 but doing exactly what phase 3 did
I would yeet myself off a cliff 4 times I swear
pontiff ain t fooling around

this is the boss that DSIII needed in base game
Ds3 already has goated base game fights tho

Soooo....the main theme was gonna be the boss???
This is what Suly should have look if they did keep him for Final boss
5:20 why do i keep hearing a discord notification sound at this point?
THAT'S CLEARLY A NOTIFICATION FOR DISCORD
@@NIGHTMARISHTUNEHAHA you’re right
