This theme really hits different after you've played the game. It's a shame it doesn't get more attention.

[@etitheyeti98]

Yeah, I 100% agree. Dark souls 3 was the first one I beat, and I remember just listening to this track after the fire faded and the credits roll. Really lets you sit in the peaceful melancholy of that ending. Powerful stuff.

[@DonatingMidget]

Yeah it doesnt get much atention cuz usually people dont beat the game, im playing in right now and im in the Pontiff Sulyvahn fight, idk if im close to finishing it or not but i hope that someday ill be able to beat the game

[@lilpepega4610]

@@DonatingMidget keep pushing ashen one, just focus on enjoying the ride

[@gordonfreeman-g5w]

Amen!! I was almost in tears when it played, as someone who played every Souls game since Demon Souls.. At the time I thought it was the end of Soulsbourne games back in 2016.little did I know Miyazaki and George R Martin were putting together one of the best games in the world

[@InfernoReaper1854]

Oh god

[@ELPSYCONGROO_JP]

6:28 sad to realize that this is the last ringing of the bell. Truly one of the best game series ever made.

[@Vert-Wheeler]

This ost is the best epilogue track for a game imo. DS3 was my first ever souls game so this epilogue hit hard.

[@AtlasBenighted]

I like Nameless Song better

[@Vert-Wheeler]

@@AtlasBenighted another great one. I probably prefer this epilogue due to DS3 being my intro into the franchise. It will always be a nostalgic experience for me.

[@NinjapowerMS]

Hits better if you played since Dark souls. The series is done, this is it. The series started and ended with Gwyn.

[@mcnugget4836]

@@AtlasBenighted it may be better, but for people who have played through the series from its start in 2011, this piece hits so hard.

One of the few soundtracks that makes me cry, the vocals man 😩

[@AtlasBenighted]

The vox indeed

[@ventusvex7685]

after I finihsed dark souls 3 I just sit there and questioned my existence with this song playing in the background, such an amazing and unforgetable game

[@PoiColle]

The singer of this, kokia, has made some amazing pieces, this is definitely one of her more enchanting ones. If you want to hear more of her work i reccomend "Fukurou", "Chouwa oto", "Hontou no oto", "Story of two daughters"; and the covers "Scarborough fair" and "Siuil a Run"

[@gluelake]

Wait, that was her??? Damn, I've been listening to Hontou no oto but didnt realize

Cant forget "Return to Slumber" from Demons souls. Completely butchered in the remake though.

He reacted to one Kokia's song, "Il Mare Dei Suoni" live from History concert tour 2012, that was my request, but it was loooong ago.

[@Matthaios_Hesychia]

You just opened my eyes. So it just turns out one of my favourite artists also sang some of my favourite dark souls tracks. It all makes sense now.

[@killerb359]

I remember beating Dark Souls 3 for the first time, I was so excited, then I heard this and it was all worth it, this ost is so good, her vocals give me goosebumps, just a really good soundtrack , probably my favorite in ds3

In my opinion, the voice represent the flames from the first fire itself, and the cicle of fading and getting lit again (the voice grows and fades during the song)

The swelling in the strings and voice is pretty common, but it could be

[@LuM4rex]

This and Sekiro are definitely some of the best games.

My list goes 1. DS3 2. Bloodborne 3. Elden Ring 4. Sekiro 5. DS1 6. DS2 7. DeS

[@cardmossdn8058]

You should check out "Crimson Bat". It's an unused DS3 track that I think is the peak of Yuka Kitamura's bombastic Dark Souls 3 style. It's slightly more restrained with the choir than some of her other tracks, but lets them shine when it's important. It's really good

[@pancakke08]

I cannot agree with this more. Crimson Bat is such a phenomenal ost and Im so upset it was never implemented into any of their games.

[@cardmossdn8058]

@@pancakke08 I’m keeping faith that they’ll use it for some Dark Souls spin off, or maybe DS3 remake in the distant future

[@bliss6417]

Last ost of the Dark Souls trilogy, perhaps one of the best game series ever made. Although nameless song is also a masterpiece, I will never forget the day I finished Dark Souls 3 and listened to this track to only then realized that this is the last of the series.

[@joshuagross3151]

Actually, there's one more track. It's a piano version of Gael's 3rd phase, called "Transitory Lands," though I think it's also called "For the Dark Soul."

[@mt2r-music]

You should really really listen too „crimson bat“ from DS3. It’s unused soundtrack so you won’t ever encounter it normally in your playthrough.

[@kolliwanne964]

Bells have a very distinct role in DS. In DS 1 you had to ring the bells of awakening to enter Lordran, and it was the bells that awakened the Lords of Cinder in DS 3. They kind of symbolized the beginning of ones journey. And they rang one last time, in the very end of the Epilogue...

[@TheMightyCrucibleKnight184]

I like this version of the Epilogue, the piano really gives the vibes that this is the last one, truly the ending of the age of fire.

[@LuM4rex]

There were quite a few unused soundtracks in DS3, many of them really deserve attention. I hope you check them out

[@pancakke08]

Crimson Bat ost is so good

[@greaseape8610]

Fair enough, I personally prefer epilogue over nameless song, maybe its because it plays at the end of dark souls 3 which is the end of the series so it has a sadder finality to it.

[@AtlasBenighted]

Fair enough

[@manandcat2293]

My morning has been made.

[@wolk6129]

this song playing while your brain just keeps processing everything that happens adds a whole new level of dept to it,its like the sound respects the events of the whole franchise becoming a "theme for thinking" and it fits perfectly cause IF dark souls lore from beggining to end could be converted into a single song this would be it

[@Skystrike12]

I’ve been considering requesting this one for the whole past year. Really happy to see it made it anyways ❤

[@ostail]

This song is also a callback to demon's souls credits, the singer is the same (PS3 version, the singer changed in the PS5 version and it sounds really different)

[@Voice_of_p]

I shed tears. Every Time i hear it. Just me?

Hi Atlas. :) Do you remember japanese singer Kokia? You reacted to one her song "Il Mare Dei Suoni", song in italian language and she sung operatic in this one. Singer in "Epiloque" from Dark Souls III is her, Kokia. :) I remember that in previous reaction to her you also really liked her vibrato. ;) She also sung and co-composed two songs from original Demon's Souls.

Nooo waaay!

[@tamashii6670]

@@AtlasBenighted Yeah, it's she. :D

The story that is ending is not Dark Souls 3. It's Dark Souls, it's the epilogue to the franchise. Nameless Song was the prologue.

Been waiting for this

all the hair on my body was raised on my body, this and the intro story

It's interesting how close this leitmotif is to Castlevania 64's title theme.

[@lolwateva53]

On my first playthrough, I sat through the whole thing and nearly started tearing up. What a unique experience, sth I will most likely never experience again. Wow...

[@ariel_1708]

FINALLY, I'VE BEEN HOPING FOR THIS SINCE MONTHS

[@AtlasBenighted]

Awesome!

[@jeremiel1818]

This is the version of the song for DLS Ringed City. The original version sounds a little different.

[@justrandomstuff6828]

I played in this order: Dark Souls 3, Blooborne, DS1, DS2 and then the DLCs for 3, what a ride it was, everything else hit so much differently when you have the context, i never knew why people always said "you have to play it to understand" but after playing the series, i finally got it, but it's too hard to explain, you have to play it to understand

[@eduardconstantinsava6223]

Please can you react to Pontiff Sulyvahn theme the first 30 seconds of that song is epic and the second phase has one of the most insane choirs.That would be just awesome!!

[@tggtyujh]

It's similar to demon's souls ending theme 'return to slumber' and same singer

[@ghastlyderp2637]

Now time for Longing in ds2. Nameless Song, Longing, and Epilogue all have the same vibe because they are the credit music

[@jdrok5026]

You have one who craves souls return to slumber nameless song longing and epiloque tho epiloque seems to be more like return to slumber in its composition which is a weird but lovely call back to demons souls

[@DieserLderbinich]

Good evening dear Atlas, surviver of the abyss and conquerer of evil, ok i know its 1:00 am but would you mind to check out the Theme Indra or Hai Yo from Berserk ^^

[@CrimsonRayne]

The song is amazing once you finish ds3 when you fully understand it. Like was what I did here leave everything better? I hope so, I did it my way regardless. This was my story

[@illuminaughty2813]

It's really hit hard if you playing since DS 1, like the series that got you hooked is finally end. There's no more lore for this series even if the dev create another souls game in the future.

[@endlessein]

Love your reactions Atlas, love how you dissect the track from start to finish. Yo do us a solid pls, as God of War: Ragnarok came out, could you react to the Valkyries Theme? Its a killer theme from the game by Bear McCreary. Thanks for all you do!

you should react to Monster hunter world iceborne ; Fatalis theme, this one is very special, it contains 3 parts, and represent the final boss of monster hunter world, absolutely awesome theme

[@lucasdufer9499]

I really can't love dks3, it is very good yes, I'm not denying it, it's just that it is trying to fill a place in my heart where the original Dark Souls already is. My emotional link to dark souls 3 is blocked by my love for the first Dark souls. The gameplay is better in dks 3,but the feels are the same, and I did dks 1 first. It's not the same for dks2 however, which I like a lot! I especially love the story of several kings trying to find a solution to the first sin, and you finding your own way

[@LuM4rex]

You can love every Souls game for something. Dark Souls 1 for the beginning of dating and nostalgia, Dark Souls 2 for that period of our life where we don't know how to live on and fight (just like a damned one looking for deliverance) and Dark Souls 3 for an excellent ending, an emotional return to previous games, a honed gameplay and battles with legendary bosses. Just love them all, buddy. No one forces you to choose.

[@apexzora4423]

Ds3 isn't trying to replace ds1 tho. More like expanding your love for it

[@asdergold1]

The best part is that it tried to be its own thing while remaining a distant sequel. 3 on the other hand skipped 2 in its entirety and shoved DS1 and BB fanservice down my throat so hard, so often it became unbearable. That and every enemy has multi-hit combos and fucking lunges. And they brought back the teleporting dogs. 2 didn't have those. It's like a parody of DS1 mixed with a Bloodborne wannabe. Also the constant retconning and addition of lore to be more like Bloodborne pissed me off. It's fucking obvious Bandai was holding them by the throat. You know, the let's remove the original DS1 from Steam and let's force them to rush DS1 and then almost completely sabotage 2 and have the gall to complain about it guys, who also juuuust happen to own the IP. (First director was pretty much modern Bioware with Anthem, no direction, pretentious shit, mess of ideas all over the place; they then put a guy already on the project as director and then axe 2 years of development time limit along with forcing them to make versions for the 360 and PS3, which is extra work on top and the reason why there were "suddenly" versions for the PS4 and Xbox One and that's where the muh graphics went, even though it was mostly lighting related and the trailers were underwhelming garbage) Point is, I think little of Streamlined Souls 3. With even more shitty world connectivity, explained away by a shitty Opening lore explanation. Which makes no sense. My favourite areas of 3 are the original ones. Lothric ia wannabe bootleg Anor Londo (while it still exists) so it doesn't count. The settlement is an intereting ones alright. The Cathedral is one of the Bloodborne areas, so no dice. And there are so many fucking swamps. So many. One of them being a reference to a poison area in DS2 that did in fact, NOT HAVE A SWAMP. The infamous elevator one, even. Manipulation? Nooooooo, of course not. Even then the elevator was supposed to go down, and there was supposed to be a volcano/mountain behind Earthen Peak. But there were so rushed they couldn't make it. That's why the transition between the areas is so jarring. (Not the fucking Willy Wonka evelator)

[@spencerfoote6977]

@@LuM4rex Dark Souls 3 really felt like the end. No matter what you do, it’s going to happen. Souls 1 is like this but Souls 3 you really see it. The ash has been built up to levels beyond what the world can handle anymore and the universe has truly hit its limit of how many more times the fire can continue. The sun is black, the world is mixing and shifting around you. Everyone is forgotten and truly insane. The universe is literally begging you to end it now or not much later. Dark Souls 3 world is completely destroyed and it’s on the brink of just feeling like everything can explode at any moment because of many times the cycle has happened now. It’s like truly accepting death/the end in hopes something good can come after.

elden ring is overall best but it has no chance against dark souls 3 ost and the dark tone of everything
