Something that always stuck with me is the fact that the series starts you out as a hollow with a broken sword hilt, all the way back in the Undead Asylum. It finishes with you, a fully fledged undead warrior, fightint a hollow with a broken sword. Poetics at its finest
Its so deeply poetic that the last fight of all of the souls series is between two nameless nobodies in a world that will not remember them, nothing is gained or lost regardless of who wins or loses. No one will ever know this fight even happened in history.
They are both nobodies and at the same time the most resilient and cunning beings in the entire world. They lived to the end of the world outliving even the gods and their golden cities. They are a testament to the tenacity of humanity and humans.
@ZergMeTaSWORM I think the part of the fight that truly speaks volumes is Gaels lightning, you're both so far into the future that Gwyns essence, his warmth and his spirit are completely gone from this wasteland, replaced by the coldness of a lightning formed of mankind's essence.
not quite. The winner was important in the first phase, cause he actually fights you for your dark soul. But when you make him bleed and he recognises his blood to be the "Blood of the Dark Soul", he understands that he has completed his mission and that you'll bring it to the painter. He has lived so long and fought for so long that as soon as he understands his purpose was fulfilled, he instantly goes hollow and completely changes fighting style from looking like a beast to actually fighting like a skilled warrior with miracles, magic, a crossbow. The skulls are his very essence being vaporized by the power of the dark soul.
@@painfall And she paints a world without suffering, a world where life is not destined to fade away into dust. This was Gael's dream, his ambition, a world free of suffering, a world free of the curse of man. The thing about Gael is that he has been around since Lord Gwyn's time, he was alive during the first age of fire, he is extremely tired and jaded.
@@Robbie-gamer I would definitely put those two in the top 1% as well, simply because they’re just amazing and I love their boss arenas, but I can definitely agree. Soul of Cinder being as easy as he is kinda sad 😔
the part where the song goes nuts and lightning strikes everywhere and gael starts doing backflips firing noscope volleys of arrows is the most epic souls moment
@@Movomalis So flashy and so ridiculously unfair Most part of phase 2 is running away to avoid that stupid echos attacks Not to mention the idea is similar to Twin Prince fight but with stupid lore Why Miquella make Radhan his consort ,when he had a war against Maleina his sister ?! By the way I didn’t beat them yet (I need to cheese) I hope their remembrance explains this nonsense ! Don’t spoil plz ! I wish that we only fought Miqeulla with Similar Maleina fight but with holy attack and incensations This the first time I am disappointed at Fromsoft and Myiazaki Remaking a boss to be a final boss or even a main boss isn’t something admirable,I know what they did is a fan service for those who want to fight Radhan at his prime I don’t even like Radhan to begin with !
@@Fenrir-n2j honestly radahn's biggest problem was just Phase 2 was pure spectacle and not gameplay, and unfair. but Miquella had made Radahn his consort because he saw a worthy lord in him since childhood, and he had sent Malenia to kill Radahn but she failed, hence SScourge Radahn's fight being needed to go to the DLC. Miquella uses a lot of people for his plans-likely Leda at some point, Mohgwyn, Radahn, and Malenia.
@@justlikedarksouls34 Well you need Radahn AND Mohg. But i honestly believe Radahn became Miquellas consort unwillingly. I mean Miquella can bend peoples minds like he does to u in the fight.
I just killed all the bosses from the Elden Ring DLC, I came here to tell you guys that Gael still remains as the best boss ever created by From Software.
No psicopatic guy , not a demigod, not abilities , no power , no magic , no giant, no powerful , not young , not a god, not a good weapons , not royale blood. just a man with a hope and will ready to fall against that monsters in ringed city again and again and rise again and again until his final goal. elden ring is a very good story but this is on a different level.
During this boss fight, I intentionally lose whenever Gael almost died. I just wanted to fight him over and over and over and over again. The fight, the music, everything about him is beautiful and poetic. Best boss fight experience I have ever had.
Technically, that could be lore accurate. Since you are both powerful beings fighting over and over till one of you fall and be unable to rise once more: like have hundreds of lives to live again till who ever runs out first
i don't remember where i saw this comment but it was so beautiful that i have to leave it here "two nobodies, fighting in the middle of nowhere, over nothing"
@@dmitriyrasskazov8858Thats not really true. In the first phase Gael fights you because he’s looking for the dark soul and in the second phase he fights you because he becomes a hollow. But you continue to fight him to bring the dark soul to the painter and because he hasnt stopped fighting you. The winner got to keep their lives and the dark soul
@@dmitriyrasskazov8858 It's so sad that so many people have misunderstood this fight so horribly. How is the fate of a new world nothing? You have to bring down Gael so you can deliver the blood of the Dark Soul to the painter, or she will never be able to create her world, her haven for those who cannot live in the coming darkness.
@@axios4702 You also have dickheads claiming he 'killed everyone in the world to assemble the Dark Soul' -> which makes no fucking SENSE, why would he journey to create a sanctuary for the remainder of humanity...ONLY TO KILL THE REMAINDER OF HUMANITY TO MAKE IT??
Gael is my favorite boss, period. I was maybe 13 when this DLC dropped. I remember my friends and I wanted a brutal challenge, so we went into the DLC blind with our level 500 characters on ng+7 and got our asses absolutely handed to us, we died to Gael so many times that beating him became our life's purpose. This piece legitimately brings a tear to my eye, it actually makes me emotional. All the very fond memories and countless nights playing this with my best friends. It truly was the most fun I've ever had, and I'm proud to call myself a friend of my friends.
Let me tell you, there is no feeling quite like first trying Gael as the final fight after a Souls trilogy summer marathon. Will forever be one of my favourite moments in videogames.
,,You're still here hand it over that thing your dark soul for my lady's painting" One of the greatest boss fights in gaming history and perfect ending of dark souls trilogy
The Dragons are extinct, the Lords have all been lost to age and time along with their crumbling Kingdoms. Now all that remains are the Ashes of what once was and 2 Warriors of little importance fighting over the remnant of Humanity. The Dark Soul.
I fully agree with you, Slave Knight Gael boss fight is the best climax for DS3 and the whole series could ever have, 100 times better than fighting some buff giant clad in armor with INT/STR build that got brainwashed by some twinky, incestually homosexual feminine, sociopathic guy that wants to usher in an "age of compassion" through more brainwashing and becoming a vessel for an outer god living in space or something.
Consort Radahn is also a chore to fight. The Scadutree Fragments, his whacky hitboxes (pre nerf at least), spam attacks and GPU-frying space laser are just lame. Gael swinging his sword around, launching bolts from his chain crossbow, using the Dark Soul and miracles, still ultimately a nobody fighting another nobody. All over something the dead gods deigned worthless and repulsive, whilst also being the last hope for a dead and dying world? And this music? He's peak. The most peak.
One thing i like about gael's boss fight is *how* he hollows in the second phase.hollows are usually wild like animals swinging whatever weapon they have like a madman, gael fights like that in his first phase when he's still human,but that's just because of the pressure the dark soul was putting on him. When he reaches the second phase he fights...like a hero of sorts he stands tall instead of running like rabid dog his swings aren't wild he looks like he's fighting with a purpose even tho he isn't in there anymore. It's like the dark soul itself wants gael to die in battle as a knight rather than being put down like an animal
Griffith laments that Guts is the only one out of *thousands* to make him forget what he really wanted. His one true friend in life... ...so Griffith agrees to the sacrifice. The Godhand... got what they wanted. And the Band of the Hawk are damned for eternity.
Gael really feels like an endgame boss. The cutscenes, the lore, the general "Berserk Guts" feel of his movesets, the music, and evolution of the fight he truly is a hod tier level boss fight, not just for difficulty but just overall
@@TitosLastBrainCell-8 yeah its really good composition , they edge you by holding the same root note the whole 1st phase and then finally change it the second time the choir melody plays in phase 2. Love this track
My soul burns to cinder... This is the peak of Ds3 ost say im wrong that 2nd phase HIT. This fight may fade from history but it will never fade from the hearts of the many fans.
The last dance of a god-tier trilogy: two nobodies fighting nowhere over nothing, to spill the blood of one of their dark souls for a painting neither will live to see. ABSOLUTE CINEMA
The fact that Slave Knights were a thing really puts things into perspective. What better way to clean up your cities and villages of the undead than putting them to work in your army? They cannot die, you can send them into battle as many times as you like. I wish we could’ve seen a bit of that. Just a bit, to scratch the hitch yk?
High above the constraints of time itself, long after the world has ended, past the age of the gods and the age of fire, lies the final battle in existence, Slave Knight Gael and The Unkindled One of Ash. No one will ever know of this fight, nothing will be heard about it, the world will never acknowledge it, but it will be the only time since time began will The Dark Soul ever be whole. And the world reacted with a silent whimper.
And that is a fact. I am learning quite a few Fromsoft soundtracks on my piano and Elden Ring is playing it really safe. Dark Souls 3 has so much boldness in its music, dissonances everywhere, it is extremely unique and no two songs are the same, they are damn hard to learn. The DS3 Soundtrack is carrying so much emotional value from the story and returning it back. Meanwhile Elden Ring is still really good, but you could confuse 80% of the songs for somewhat generic fantasy soundtracks. Even the main theme, which i love, is mostly a regular 4 chord progression that you would get in most regular pop songs. The one real artistic standout with Elden Ring is the final bossfight where you fight Radagon and then the Elden Beast back to back, the change in tone and emotional value within the same bossfight is amazing, each by themselves is decent, but the exchange in between Radagons heroic track (which is also the games main theme but slightly different so even here it is a slight letdown) turning into this calm and spiritual soundtrack of the Elden Beast really gets me everytime.
Yeah, almost all of Elden Ring's OST is forgettable, meanwhile I still remember so many of DS3s soundtracks perfectly. Vordt, the Dancer, Nameless King, Gael, Secret Betrayal... All of them awe inspiring and beautiful. Meanwhile Elden Ring's ost except for the main theme is just an orchestral cacophony.
one of these days i gotta replay ds 1 through 3 in order and make the same character in all of them purely to make this fight feel like an even greater culmination than it already is; two undead who've been there from the beginning duking it out
Played elden ring, replayed the Base and DLC themes, came back to DS3, replayed all the themes of bosses that took me hours to conquer. Swapped to Bloodborne some point, replayed Laurence and Ludwig. Finally arrived on Gael. The Emotions culminated from replaying all these legendary games before facing off with Gael was incredible. The largest Nostalgia trip I’ve ever done. What a brilliant series.
Just beat this boss. Such a good fight that’s only enhanced with this music. Wish there was more jolly cooperation in 2024 so I could help someone else fight him :(
The demons are gone. The gods are dead. The pygmy lords, decrepit and wailing. Kingdoms have come and gone, mashed together into an amalgam and buried under eons of sand. And there, amidst the lifeless wasteland are two hollows, fighting over nothing at the end of the world.
There may be better games in the future, but i am convinced i will not experience a higher peak than this single fight when it comes to videogames as art in my lifetime. The combination of all these aspects, the muscial theme, the theme of the actual event and it's devastatingly pointless outcome. The amalgamated agony of two entire worlds suffering through two separate hopeless fights against the impending finality of all that is, resulting in a duel by those who remain at the end of existence itself, with no witness, no purpose, no hope. It is thematic brilliance.
That can of paint is the most valuable thing in a world that is slowly but surely turning into dunes and deserts of ash, a paint made from the soul that created those last two men and every other human ever.
There is no way I see FromSoft creat a better boss than Gale not in term lore ,fighting,and OST There is no way they can do better than this , this is 100% peak boss in gaming industry ! No way Elden Ring DLC would be any better
I feel the same way. Don't get me wrong. Shadow of the Erdtree will most likely end up blowing Ringed City and Old Hunters out of the water, but nothing will ever top Slave Knight Gael as a boss. The build up from Ashes of Ariandel and him guiding you all throughout the Ringed City until you reach his boss arena was just peak.

The one real artistic standout with Elden Ring is the final bossfight where you fight Radagon and then the Elden Beast back to back, the change in tone and emotional value within the same bossfight is amazing, each by themselves is decent, but the exchange in between Radagons heroic track (which is also the games main theme but slightly different so even here it is a slight letdown) turning into this calm and spiritual soundtrack of the Elden Beast really gets me everytime.
Yeah, almost all of Elden Ring's OST is forgettable, meanwhile I still remember so many of DS3s soundtracks perfectly. Vordt, the Dancer, Nameless King, Gael, Secret Betrayal... All of them awe inspiring and beautiful.
Meanwhile Elden Ring's ost except for the main theme is just an orchestral cacophony.
@@axios4702Mohg’s theme kinda slaps ngl
Midra for me but yeah this one so good
And Bayle and lion divine beast and godskin duo and Godfrey and Elden beast and radagon and rellana
What, still here? Hand it over.... that thing... your dark soul.. for my lady's painting..
I told you ! Nobody can beat Gale
Here after Elden Ring DLC
“OH GREAT HEAVENS!”
The last two hollows left standing at the end of the world fighting to decide who’s the hardest MFing human since The Pygmy
Ashen one aren’t hollow
@ mine always is lol
Thanks
I defeated gale the first try it was such an intense battle perfect ending to the series now I’m too scared to fight him again 😂
Good. I beat him first try as well and decided to fight him again and got cooked lol keep listening to your gut.
@@yaketsukuzu6478 that’s exactly what I’m afraid of lol
Best OST BOSS EVER MADE in any souls included elden ring.
Ah, is this the blood?....The blood of the Dark soul
one of these days i gotta replay ds 1 through 3 in order and make the same character in all of them purely to make this fight feel like an even greater culmination than it already is; two undead who've been there from the beginning duking it out
The only boss that even begins to approach Gael is Ludwig... for almost the exact same reasons
idk how long it was down but if I know anything about souls players, it was probably about as long as it takes me to die to gael (~1 minute tops)
Hand it over. That thing, your Soulsborne OST playlist.
"For my lady's painting..."
Pour one for the homie Gael, out here risking it all for the fam!🙌
Epic.
"Is this jolly cooperation?"
Watch this guy appear in elden ring
Best fight of all time
Still here in 2025 ?
Give it to me, that thing, this masterpiece of an ost
The fight I put my summon sign down for more than any other just to do it again.
Phase 1- Slave Knight Gael
Phase 2- Gael, the Last Hollow
Phase 3- Gael, the Embodiment of the Dark Soul
As much as I love fighting Malenia and Lady Maria in a battle of skill, I love still the absolute chaos and tenacity of Gael
this is perfect
can you somehow attach For the dark souls in the ending ?
Played elden ring, replayed the Base and DLC themes, came back to DS3, replayed all the themes of bosses that took me hours to conquer. Swapped to Bloodborne some point, replayed Laurence and Ludwig. Finally arrived on Gael. The Emotions culminated from replaying all these legendary games before facing off with Gael was incredible. The largest Nostalgia trip I’ve ever done.
What a brilliant series.
Just beat this boss. Such a good fight that’s only enhanced with this music. Wish there was more jolly cooperation in 2024 so I could help someone else fight him :(
The demons are gone. The gods are dead. The pygmy lords, decrepit and wailing. Kingdoms have come and gone, mashed together into an amalgam and buried under eons of sand. And there, amidst the lifeless wasteland are two hollows, fighting over nothing at the end of the world.
Soul of Cinder is the final boss of Dark Souls 3
Slave Knight Gael is the final boss of Dark Souls itself
0:58 why I hear the Discord sound
Schizophrenia
This ost makes me wana finish the ds3 dlc which I am going to do
The real final boss of DS3
There may be better games in the future, but i am convinced i will not experience a higher peak than this single fight when it comes to videogames as art in my lifetime.
The combination of all these aspects, the muscial theme, the theme of the actual event and it's devastatingly pointless outcome. The amalgamated agony of two entire worlds suffering through two separate hopeless fights against the impending finality of all that is, resulting in a duel by those who remain at the end of existence itself, with no witness, no purpose, no hope.
It is thematic brilliance.
How could you hear something like this and then not even nominate the game for best Music?
Game awards have akways been a joke, the winner is always the one who pays the biggest amount of money to the judge.
This OST represents exactly the amount of time it took me to kill Gael. I suffered too much. Traumatic!
john dark souls 3 vs the ashen one
I completed the Souls Saga with DLCs included. My favorite one was DS3. ¿Do you guys recommend Elden Ring?
Yea is a great game
Ashen One versus Gael... The Battle between two men over a can of paint...
That can of paint is the most valuable thing in a world that is slowly but surely turning into dunes and deserts of ash, a paint made from the soul that created those last two men and every other human ever.
Loucura 5:12
There is no way I see FromSoft creat a better boss than Gale not in term lore ,fighting,and OST
There is no way they can do better than this , this is 100% peak boss in gaming industry !
No way Elden Ring DLC would be any better
I feel the same way. Don't get me wrong. Shadow of the Erdtree will most likely end up blowing Ringed City and Old Hunters out of the water, but nothing will ever top Slave Knight Gael as a boss. The build up from Ashes of Ariandel and him guiding you all throughout the Ringed City until you reach his boss arena was just peak.

Dark Souls 3 >>> Elden Ring in terms of of bosses ,lores,and OSTs
Anyone who disagree probably only played Elden Ring
I will be honest Bloodborne is my first soul game but Elden Ring was the first one to finsh
After that I finished the rest
Still Dark Souls 3 impact me the most
Soul of Cinder and Gale
Mam the lore and the OST are still making me tears randomly ,specially Soul of Cinder
The credit of Dark Souls 3 Epilogue made me cry that night because
It was my last semester in Engineering college after so many struggles and finishing this game gave me one last boost to graduate
What a ride of both gaming and study of my life in 2022 !
