Dark Souls III OST - Slave Knight Gael [Extended]

[@theangeredcat247]

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

[@MoonlightHorizon-ev7ev]

Beautiful observation man!

[@Eskinor]

it's like poetry it sort of they rhyme

[@torahibiki]

​​@@Eskinor he may have gone too far in a few places.

[@JC-fk8kc]

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.

[@ZergMeTaSWORM]

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.

[@JC-fk8kc]

@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.

[@enderforces7013]

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]

Except we will know, we will remember and we will give the Blood of the Dark soul to the Lady in Honor of Gael The Martyr.

[@Rexhunterj]

@@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.

[@Fenrir-n2j]

@@SoulsGaming_ 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 !

[@justlikedarksouls34]

@@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.

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.

[@EldenGodRick]

Gael >>> Promised Consort Radahn

[@Lumigle]

Yes, 100% true!

[@akuma3618]

Yessir.

[@el_gatoNegro]

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.

[@spiderpsycho_8887]

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.

Dark souls III ost > Elden ring ost by far Change my mind

[@mrseryous8122]

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.

[@axios4702]

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.
