Gwyn and his son, who was now The Nameless King, had finally put an end to the madness that Slave Knight Gael had brought upon himself and the Pygmies. But the cost was too dire for the resurrected Lord Of Cinder. His son, who aided him, who had been forgiven for turning his back on Anor Londo, had fallen in battle. Gwyn's heart had broken. His new body, crafted from the ashes of the Soul Of Cinder, was wracked with the grief of losing his forgotten son, who he had just found forgiveness. He knew his son would be resurrected by the New Flame, but the pain of not being able to save him was taking a toll on him. Suddenly, though, a dread creeped into his soul, as he turned towards... Anor Londo. *He realized something horrible was happening...* _Something had happened to Gwyndolin._ He had mistreated the boy, raising him like a daughter and looked down on his lesser light, but he had felt immense guilt for his actions ever since The Unkindled had awoken the poor god again, and taught him to not fear the dark. Gwyn, his new body burning with dread, began to walk towards his home, his body still slow. The Unkindled had shown him the error of his ways, and the folly of his mistreatment of his children... _...But there was legitimate things to fear from the dark._ He could feel a power invading his home... _... Something... from the Deep..._ Gwyn had no words for the dread he felt. If his guess was correct... _Aldrich, the damned Saint Of The Deep, and his damned Pontiff, Sulyvahn, were invading his home to finish what they started._ Gwyn had not had the time to apologize for his behavior toward the God Of The Darkmoon, and he would never be able to forgive himself if he lost his son before he could ask Gwyndolin to forgive him. He made his way towards Anor Londo, hoping he was not too late...

Vince Lumontad Techbically not Gwyn though, just barely a shadow of a fragment of the late Gwyn. Just imagine how insanely powerful SoC would be if Gwyn sacrificed his whole soul to the fire instead of giving away most of it to his allies and family 0_0
4:35 when the nameless king dies it’s almost as if he’s kneeling to his father.. saying I’m sorry . then as the soul of cinder would , gained his sons soul and that’s what you see at the end lol
I wish this was canon. it would be the perfect full circle to the arc of the nameless king and his father. though he was exiled and dishonored, the son returned and proven himself alongside his father in their battle against the dark, and while he felled, he was accepted as a lord of cinder.
Uncle? Are you saying that slave knight Gael is a brother of Gwyn? Little confused on what you meant. Pretty sure he was just a strong hollow that got strong by eating everyone Aldrich style, to the point he was the last/Strongest Hollow at worlds end...
Nameless King: Put down your sword. You can not win. Gael: After I have your soul, nameless one. My lady needs it for her painting. Chosen Undead: For the good of the world... Bearer of the Curse: ...and for the humans that the gods dared curse... Solaire: ...for the sun... Abyss Watchers: ...and the Wolf Knight... Yhorm: ...my people... Lothric: ...my brother... Gwyn: ...and my son, whom I've forsaken for so long, you must be destroyed, Dark Soul. Ashen One: I'll just come back another time...
Just imagine.. Sure - Gwyn exiled his son, Nameless King, for betraying him and his kind for the dragons. Went on all that time since, up until the end of DS3, with supposed hatred for his own son. And sure, Soul of Cinder is the culmination of all before linking the fire..including Gwyn. But at 4:34 ..its like witnessing the death of his son is what caused Gwyn's soul to emerge to face Gael, and avenge him. As if even he, NK's father, couldn't truly have only hate for his son.
I love how Cinder goes Phase 2 when Nameless King dies. All I can imagine is that Gwyn despite thinking he hated his son, going into a Berserk rage watching his own son die before him.
1:02 That synchronized attack though fcking sick as Nameless King went from behind Gael, SoC prepares to land a heavy strike and as he did, Nameless King also landed a heavy blow on Gael at the same time
This is the most epic thing I've ever seen! Their power is so off the charts that my phone started emitting sparks, rumbled randonly and my screen display just cracked!
Gael: "you couldn't live with your failures. And where did that bring you?" *Shows Soul of Cinder and King who shall not be named* Gael: "Right back to me"
Imagine a nobody like Gael, even having the title of Slaveknight, who was able to venture on his own to world's end, and consume the Dark Soul. He was still strong enough to not only handle two bosses, one being Gwyn's son and the other the embodiment of every Champion of the Fire, but Gwyn himself ... but nearly killed both of them, even with Soul of Cinder's 2nd phase. He managed to take out Nameless King and was only at 15% HP, still able to nearly kill 2nd phase Soul of Cinder ... REALLY puts it in perspective how powerful Gael is, especially in phase 3. Absolute boss, best one in the series.
Gael got the dark soul. And a questionably high hp pool for a slave knight. Soul of Cinder, lore wise, should be impossible to beat as he have all the fighting knowledge of everyone who linked the fire. But with the power of unlimited lives and IFrames, players can.
@@xstreampunk7662 but burned out, all this power was sacrificed to prolong/rekindle first flame. So yes, Soul of Cinder possess ALL this knowladge and power but not at it's peak, it is burned out SHELL of all that power it has no FLAMES it has only CINDERS and ASHES, whatever was left of all this power.
@@magearamil8626 even if that's true, he have aldritch, gwyn, yhorm, ds1 and ds2 player and all of others not mentioned. They may be weakened but we fought some of them at that state yet they are still strong but SoC mostly used player move set then transition to gwyn moveset. SoC has been gutted down for the players but lore wise, it should know more attacks than what his move set is. Also, what the SoC have is the soul before it was burned, lords of cinders are the state in which the sacrificed is left after being burnt. SoC only used the attack set of Gwyn on its second phase for nostalgia and to make the story had gone full circle
Imagine narratively for a moment. The Nameless king recognizing a scrap of his father Gwyn remaining within him but knowing its presence too weak to call him father consolidates his feelings, standing aside the Soul of cinder to face the man at the end of time who brings ruin to the old world, scraps of a man who began the world we know and his son face the man who will end this world and begin the new world. In many ways this is the embodiment of the First Flame Versus the Dark Soul. Fate is decided before our eyes. What is the outcome? You decide.
i like how Nameless King and His dad were standing there stoically and when the fight starts gael instantly goes sicko mode and charges at them on all fours.
5:21 is basically Gwyn impaling Gael corpse with lightning to reaffirm his power over the dark. Also big anime Moment with the white lightnings and the “heir of fire destroyed”
Gwyn's SOul flares up as the Soul of Cinder watches his son fall in combat. Even though he hated his boy, that was HIS BLOOD... The final lightning bolt of rage too

SoC popped his second phase right when his son died😂 pure revenge mode
The soul of cinder is meant to be an amalgam of everyone who's ever linked the fire, not just Gwyn. That's why it fights in so many different styles.
@@miguelzavaleta1911 The second phase has been confirmed to be Gwyn' soul

Press control+g and type "gwyn" in the box, then read the parts where his name is mentionned
@@kerokero9458 The article literally says multiple times that SoC are all the Lords of cinders plus Gwyn, as Miguel stated in his first comment; not only Gwyn' soul
3:10 though, epic moment of SOC backflipping out of the way RIGHT AS NK does his swordspear slam. The movements almost look calculated in this part because of how precise it is.
4:43 the tension before they started swinging caused a pause. Epic
Also if you look at the swings from SOC and listen to the track you can see it matches as well as the drop when he plunges his sword into the ash
2:23 How the music goes hard when Nameless King’s attack doesn’t phase Gael, as if to signify the power boost.
Omg for real 😅
He just walks out the smoke and rubble like nothing
And then Nameless is walking away but turns around
1:12 I like how they both just start poking him.
*Me:* So... You defeated Gael
*SoC:* Yes
*Me:* And what did it cost?
*SoC:* My son
For him, he's just a traitor so he's actually very happy, he killed the one who absorbed the dark soul
@@zoraogrith9905 At the cost of losing his son after they reconciled
Gwyn: And nothing of value was lost
@@cordyceps182 What he lost was his son despite they have set aside their differences to stop a greater threat

This feels like the final battle in an anime
it pretty much IS an anime final battle honestly
Don't bring that into our beloved game
Sorry, Farmehr, but Dark Souls is inspired by Berserk, an anime/manga show.
@@rexlumontad5644 Am I too late to say RIP to such a beloved and inspirational manga? May Miura rest well, and thank you for bringing many other series to life, such as Dark Souls, from your own creation.

Alternate title : father and son trying to calm down the neighbor's dog

1:10 Father and son combo beatdown. You love to see it.
You went a bit past them synchronizing their charges
Biggest showdown of light vs dark since the war against the everlasting dragons
How was the war against the everlasting dragons light vs dark? It was Light, Dark, Life, and Death vs grey. Either that or im missing something lol
@@zergray6851 nah what I meant was that both of them represented a grandiose battle for continuity, light vs dark, parity vs disparity.. you know that kinda thing
@@youssefbarj9770 ah, thank you.
@@youssefbarj9770 In the end, Lord Gwyn won against the Dark Soul within Gael... at the cost of his own son.
Vince Lumontad Techbically not Gwyn though, just barely a shadow of a fragment of the late Gwyn.
Just imagine how insanely powerful SoC would be if Gwyn sacrificed his whole soul to the fire instead of giving away most of it to his allies and family 0_0
4:35 when the nameless king dies it’s almost as if he’s kneeling to his father.. saying I’m sorry . then as the soul of cinder would , gained his sons soul and that’s what you see at the end lol
Its fucking anime
I wish this was canon. it would be the perfect full circle to the arc of the nameless king and his father.
though he was exiled and dishonored, the son returned and proven himself alongside his father in their battle against the dark, and while he felled, he was accepted as a lord of cinder.
4:34 well that was a close bat-
D1collosus LMG it was a close one nonetheless
Nameless King: "We have to fight side by side against a common enemy. "
Soul of Cinder: [mute noises]
Nameless King : *dies*
Soul of Cinder : *unmutes microphone* MY BABY BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
05:50 SoC: "The dark has lost, the fire lives"
But at what cost, the world has ended. All is ash, no life, no light. Is this the world you wanted Gwyn
@@dracogatom7873 Actually, the Age of Fire will be extended and life will begin anew

When uncle decides to consume the dark soul so your dad asks you to help him with some heavy lifting
Uncle? Are you saying that slave knight Gael is a brother of Gwyn? Little confused on what you meant. Pretty sure he was just a strong hollow that got strong by eating everyone Aldrich style, to the point he was the last/Strongest Hollow at worlds end...
@@kilambrown4302 well it could be like a figurative uncle I guess, like how you call a family friend uncle except it's family nemesis.
Genos DemonCyborg he didn’t mean it to be that serious it’s a joke I think
Its cuz the painter refered to gale as uncle
@@valid9068 then did the painter also refer to Gwyn as "Dad", my point was this sentence didn't make sense, still stands.
The end is like Gwyn screaming
"That one is for my son !"
*Lighting strike*
Nameless King: Put down your sword. You can not win.
Gael: After I have your soul, nameless one. My lady needs it for her painting.
Chosen Undead: For the good of the world...
Bearer of the Curse: ...and for the humans that the gods dared curse...
Solaire: ...for the sun...
Abyss Watchers: ...and the Wolf Knight...
Yhorm: ...my people...
Lothric: ...my brother...
Gwyn: ...and my son, whom I've forsaken for so long, you must be destroyed, Dark Soul.
Ashen One: I'll just come back another time...
Aldrich: ... HUNGRY!!!
Just imagine..
Sure - Gwyn exiled his son, Nameless King, for betraying him and his kind for the dragons. Went on all that time since, up until the end of DS3, with supposed hatred for his own son. And sure, Soul of Cinder is the culmination of all before linking the fire..including Gwyn.
But at 4:34 ..its like witnessing the death of his son is what caused Gwyn's soul to emerge to face Gael, and avenge him. As if even he, NK's father, couldn't truly have only hate for his son.
That's a damn fine bit of story there.
Just as fitting at the very end when he used his own son's attack to finish him off.
😢😢😢😢😢
This is the best comment in history
What
Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!
1:08
Perfect spear stabbing combo here.
I literally got goosebumped every second after Gael's third phase
You mean second phase.
@@godemperor9160 My bad, i mean first phase
God Emperor not at all. Gael has 3 phases lol
1:08 That Father & Son sync
"You ready son."
"I was about to ask the same."
4:44 randomly found this perfect timing
That's so satisfying
4:45 would make an amazing screenshot if the health bars weren’t there
I love how Cinder goes Phase 2 when Nameless King dies. All I can imagine is that Gwyn despite thinking he hated his son, going into a Berserk rage watching his own son die before him.
2:32 how they both pull back their weapons at the same time holy shit
SoC : "Combo attack ?"
NK : "Yep, combo attack!."
Gael, NK, and SoC: **Fighting**
Ashen one: **appears** 😁
Gael: "Truce?"
NK and SoC: "Truce."
Ashen one: ☹
Na, just give them 100 or so tries. Then they are going to be the onces flipping that smile upside down.
Nameless King: *Dies*
Soul of Cinder: You've plinged your last plong
1:08 SoC and NK actually hitting off pair combos
1:02
That synchronized attack though fcking sick as Nameless King went from behind Gael, SoC prepares to land a heavy strike and as he did, Nameless King also landed a heavy blow on Gael at the same time
5:20 Finish him! FATALITY!
just to make sure 😂
4:37 : Gwyn, filled with regret because he still loved his son, came to avenge him to ultimately prevail.
3:45 nameless king is being choked by blue electricity, so he musters his strength to break free with the power of the sun's electricity. Epic
This is the most epic thing I've ever seen! Their power is so off the charts that my phone started emitting sparks, rumbled randonly and my screen display just cracked!

Epic anime comeback
*Gael kills Nameless King*
Soul of Cinder: "Yamero!!"
*Soul of Cinder power up*
Soul Of Cinder: "How dare you?!!"
1:10 I love how they just start double teaming the slave knight
The twin swing back at 2:32 was awesome
This is genuinely more epic than most movies. Makes me appreciate being able to kill them more
Gael: "you couldn't live with your failures. And where did that bring you?"
*Shows Soul of Cinder and King who shall not be named*
Gael: "Right back to me"
Nameless king gets to fight along side with his father for the first time in thousands of years
1:00 - most epic moment I ever seen
"Thunder and Fire against Blood and Darkness"
4:43 God that's so badass
That's some Berserk level anime shit right there.
This should become an movie scene
I like how the soul of cinder banished him with a lightening blast at the end and slowly walks off LOL
Imagine a nobody like Gael, even having the title of Slaveknight, who was able to venture on his own to world's end, and consume the Dark Soul. He was still strong enough to not only handle two bosses, one being Gwyn's son and the other the embodiment of every Champion of the Fire, but Gwyn himself ... but nearly killed both of them, even with Soul of Cinder's 2nd phase. He managed to take out Nameless King and was only at 15% HP, still able to nearly kill 2nd phase Soul of Cinder ...
REALLY puts it in perspective how powerful Gael is, especially in phase 3. Absolute boss, best one in the series.
Gael got the dark soul. And a questionably high hp pool for a slave knight.
Soul of Cinder, lore wise, should be impossible to beat as he have all the fighting knowledge of everyone who linked the fire. But with the power of unlimited lives and IFrames, players can.
@@xstreampunk7662 but burned out, all this power was sacrificed to prolong/rekindle first flame. So yes, Soul of Cinder possess ALL this knowladge and power but not at it's peak, it is burned out SHELL of all that power it has no FLAMES it has only CINDERS and ASHES, whatever was left of all this power.
@@magearamil8626 even if that's true, he have aldritch, gwyn, yhorm, ds1 and ds2 player and all of others not mentioned. They may be weakened but we fought some of them at that state yet they are still strong but SoC mostly used player move set then transition to gwyn moveset. SoC has been gutted down for the players but lore wise, it should know more attacks than what his move set is.
Also, what the SoC have is the soul before it was burned, lords of cinders are the state in which the sacrificed is left after being burnt. SoC only used the attack set of Gwyn on its second phase for nostalgia and to make the story had gone full circle
@@magearamil8626 yeah what steam said, he's probably the strongest by lore (excluding Ashen One and maybe Gwyn prime)
I agree with what you say... But I feel insulted
5:23 “this is for my son”
the way soul of cinder walks away at 5:24 is so damn cool
Imagine narratively for a moment.
The Nameless king recognizing a scrap of his father Gwyn remaining within him but knowing its presence too weak to call him father consolidates his feelings, standing aside the Soul of cinder to face the man at the end of time who brings ruin to the old world, scraps of a man who began the world we know and his son face the man who will end this world and begin the new world. In many ways this is the embodiment of the First Flame Versus the Dark Soul. Fate is decided before our eyes. What is the outcome? You decide.
i like how Nameless King and His dad were standing there stoically and when the fight starts gael instantly goes sicko mode and charges at them on all fours.
2 talented swordsmen vs the eater of the dark soul.
More like the 2 Gods Of Light vs the shade of the god of humanity
Gods vs Man
@@draw2death421 that's another way of saying it yeah.
@@JT044-iz1cv if they're gods why don't they use wrath of the gods?
@@metallmariofan that was meant to be retorical lol.
I always underestimate Cinder’s raw versatility
This is probably my favorite one yet. I was rooting for Gael so hard but damn, SOC entering phase 2 to avenge NK was pretty damn poetic.
5:30 Looks like Soul of Cinder is going for a walk, a very enthusiastic walk.
Very enthusiastic indeed.
He's headed for Shiras' bitchass
Suddenly remembers he still has Ashen One's to slay
5:21 is basically Gwyn impaling Gael corpse with lightning to reaffirm his power over the dark. Also big anime
Moment with the white lightnings and the “heir of fire destroyed”
Gael: Stay down final warning
Soul of Cinder: *Pant* I can do this all day
4:37 they attack styles flow together so beautifully at the end
Gwyn's SOul flares up as the Soul of Cinder watches his son fall in combat. Even though he hated his boy, that was HIS BLOOD... The final lightning bolt of rage too
Seeing them fight literally reminds you on how small we are in comparison to their might.
Me: *starts using more ringed knight's straightsword*
Soul of cinder: *enters phase 2 and starts swinging that sword like mad*
My brain:"..."
My brain again:"..."
My brain once again:"..."
Me:"oohhh, so it's the same move"
EDIT: I realised that 2nd phase soul of cinder move set is the same as ringed knight ss after like around 7 times of beating him
It's actually the same as Gwyn's but nice try
@@Celatra yeah i just bought ds remastered a couple days ago, haven't finish it yet, but heard about cinder being gwyn in 2nd phase
@@octavianoltean9401 lmao no
@@narommalagonmorales2663 well, you can say they are super similar. Only the last hit is not the same since Soul of cinder do an explosion and rkss do a slash
Idk if someone noticed but the cutscene where gael falls to the ground it actually sounds different(and more badass) when he stands Up.
