    This is no longer the theme of Gwyn, lord of cinder. This is the theme of Gwyn, lord of sunlight. The theme that played in Gwyn’s head when he was quickscoping dragons out of the sky with his sunlight spears.

    @DarthVaizard 11 лет назад +1126

    I feel like this is the version Gwyn would hear as he fights you. The original is somber, like you're putting down a rabid dog that everybody once loved. This is more fighting for your life or title as a god.

    • @jacksonriley3152
      @jacksonriley3152 11 лет назад +96

      But that's the thing. You're pretty much "putting Gywn down". I do think this song would be perfect, though, if the narrative of the game was a bit different.

    • @user-zg1lj9vc3r
      @user-zg1lj9vc3r 11 лет назад +52

      Jackson Riley Agree with you both. I feel this would be a more suitable song for a more dramatic fight. Say there was a stage falling apart and things crashing around like some action movie

    • @ijustreview
      @ijustreview 10 лет назад +56

      Jackson Riley no, you and DarthVaizard are in total agreement with one another. While you're putting down a (literally )burnt out shell of a former legend, Darth is saying that since he's most likely insane and Hollowed, Gwyn might not realize how it's simply over for him, and is like "OH HEY A LOWLY HUMAN DARES TO CHALLENGE THE MIGHTY LORD OF SUNLI-FUCK HE KNOWS HOW TO PARRY SHIT SHIT SHI-"

  • @doctorsnakeeater1997
    @doctorsnakeeater1997 9 лет назад +1027

    The normal theme for Gwyn was depressing cuz he was weakened and hollow.... This on the other hand.... THIS is the theme for battling Gwyn when he was in his prime. Imagine this song playing while he smites dragons out of the sky with his sunlight spear!!!

  • @GregTom2
    @GregTom2 9 лет назад +293

    This song is very powerful and emotionnal, and fits the boss perfectly. You've died countless times; struggled against odds that are not fair game by any modern standard, you've chosen a weapon and honed it with titanite, sweat, blood and tears, and faced Snorlax and Pikachu; eventually toppling them down...
    And now you get here.
    To this man, who's barely more than a hollow, let alone a God.
    Someone who has no unpredictable attacks, and doesn't use any gimmicks. Just a fight.
    For 99% of us, you defeat him the first time. But you don't just defeat him; you methodically clip him down. You take no risks, give no mercy. This song isn't about an epic battle. It's a song about a slaughter. It sings the mountain you climbed, the countless deaths you endured, the long road that's now behind you.
    It has an almost nostalgic feel, and how could it not, when you slay the only Soul that can yet prevent the world from fading away into raw entropy.
    How could it not when you're minutes from turning off your game console and putting away the game that you loved and hated?

    As you enter the fog, you see a old figure standing by the first flame. It is Gwyn, lord of cinder and sunlight. Gwyn looks up at you, raising his sword and using his raspy throat mutters “my true heir...”. As Gwyn said this, a part of his memories came back to him. He was the lord of sunlight, defender of the first flame and the first lord of cinder. No longer was he truly hollowed, as he had regained his sense of duty and purpose. Gwyn suddenly becomes more embered, raising his left hand and summoning a bright sunlight spear. With his final might, he throws the spear at you and charges at you.
    Prove yourself worthy to be a lord of cinder. Gwyn, the first lord, shall judge you.

  • @droctagonapus89
    @droctagonapus89 10 лет назад +41

    This remix definitely hits home in my heart. The original track makes it feel like you're fighting for your life instead of a virtual person. The remix makes it sound like there is urgency in the task at hand, making it even better. And also, when you fight Gwyn in game, you are fighting a man who gave himself to protect everything he believed in, only for it to fall apart again. This remix definitely deserves props, and I'm the one who's going to give it props.

    • @Stup1d0zz
      @Stup1d0zz 10 лет назад +2

      I feel like there isn't any urgency at all in the fight, so this remix might fail my expectations. I just feel like you try to end a miserable existence of a former god-like hero. The results of your predecessor and the fate he suffers, all together packed in this moment where the melancholic sound of the original theme plays. This made me chose the path of the dark lord in the end, so history has not to repeat itself and noone else has to walk the path I did. It really feels like you are befriends with Gwyn, even though both of you are so far apart in time. His desperate shell made me fear what might await me if I take his place. So this fight, in my eyes, is truly just an act of mercy.

    Most people complain when a game leaves you feeling empty. Dark Souls is an exception. After defeating Gwyn you're left feeling empty...you feel well hollowed. You've lost purpose in the Dark Souls universe. (well at least until you get to the sequels) that's what's awesome about dark souls.

For the few Dark Souls players who care about the lore like myself, this was one of the most fantastic moments in gaming history. I don't think i'll ever forget Dark Souls. It's the most beautiful, entertaining and heartbreaking game I have ever played or even heard of..And the fact that people are still making remixes and videos at all is something i look up to. I salute you, gamemakers.

    I had probably one of the most amusing fights with Gwyn. To start the fight, as soon as I walked through the mist, he jumped at me, but flew over my head and missed. During the fight, he did the move where he grabs you and blows up at least 10 times, and when I killed him, he fell to his knees while floating up very quickly, only to shoot back down twice as fast and sink through the floor. I beat it again and had a proper fight without any derpy moments. This is in my top 5 favorite boss fights

      I wouldn't say the hardest, but definitely very hard for someone who can't / won't parry. I never liked how overpowered the parrying mechanic is in Dark Souls so I never used it. Champion Gundyr in DS3 was my worst nightmare because of it.

    Dark souls 3 final boss:
    In dark souls 3 you play as the servant of a reincarnated manus with his mind restored and his dark soul completed, his goal, to travel back in time to the point where gwyn lit the first flame, stop gwyn and create a permanent age of fire by using the dark soul as fuel instead of the lord soul, thus ensuring mankind's continued existence as well as that of the age of light.
    the catch, gwyn wants to rule that future himself, and won't suffer mankind steering their own destiny for fear of something like the continuing cycle of dark souls 1 and 2, where time is distorted and the abyss continually enters and recedes, creating the undead curse each time.
    both you and manus, whose mind is now whole and who appears human, enter the kiln just in time to stop gwyn.
    can you change the distorted future of lordran for all eternity? and what new world will be created from the ashes of the dark soul?
    There are no answers.

There are a lot to explain about darkness in these games and I don't have time, nice idea nonetheless :P

      Thus, until you manage to connect the final blow, and contemplate this once great figure, slowly dying before your very eyes, you realise your journey is over, and what you've done, you've killed the husk of the Lord of this land, a man who only tried to sustain the flame, to prevent an age of despair..
