There's something powerful about a final boss theme that isn't grandiose and epic, but sorrowful like this

[@el_gatoNegro]

You could say it is a way to show how the age of Fire is bound to die anyway even we and other undead link the First Flame as many times as we can (unless you chose the other ending which is not canon to the story anyway), we are just delaying the inevitable death of fire.

[@yapyapthedestroyer2562]

@@el_gatoNegrowait, the fire ending where we continue the age of fire is canon? So we just end up like gwyn in the end? That sucks, fought and killed many monsters and abominations, defeated Gwen’s hollow corpse, and all we get is us going down the same road gwyn took. Rip chosen undead, was badass but chose to follow Gwyns path.

[@el_gatoNegro]

@@yapyapthedestroyer2562 You could also say that the Dark Lord is also canon and not canon at the same time because the time flow in Lordran (and in Lothric in DS3) is very convulated, which means while yes your and others time-lines where you chose the Dark ending are canon but only canon to your story not the overall canonical lore and time-line.

[@juancena8739]

Just finished the first two and am working on the 3rd and just wow, there is so much story to go over. If you still feel confused at the end of the game about the story then I definitely recommend watching a video dedicated to the story.

[@Blockbuster-qx4xp]

To understand gwyn you only need to play the first game but to understand soul of cinder you need to play the first and third game and it just hits different

[@nunoosorio3832]

DS1 is Greek Mythology and Japanese Mythology explaining that nature cannot be stopped. DS2 is an epic about how an entire magnificent kingdom went down the drain because the king was a simp over a shard of an ancient Lord, who sought to gain the power to control those with no soul when the Age of Dark came, as another attempt to stop nature, light and dark left on a stalemate to show how meaningless our efforts can be, and how meaningless exploring the past can be once it already happened. It's a game that makes you thankful of death itself, by showing you the burden of existing beyond our perception of time and the suffering that comes with existing in itself. DS3 is just Bloodborne, but Dark Souls. Also as it turns out, it seems DS2 is the real DS3, and DS3 is the real DS2. The number of DLCs each game has should help you keep count. Also some people say Elden Ring is a prequel to most if not all of the Souls games, with the Frenzied Flame ending (the one about how nature was distorted by separating Gold into two Gods, wound up causing problems and suffering, and how yielding to the natural development of the world leads to peace and restores harmony to the world) leading to the Dark Souls timeline, one where the spirits were boiled away, but a flame cannot be burned, and so the Souls stayed.

A boss's theme can represents the boss themselves. O&S Theme sounds loud and proud, yet imposing, much like the honorable Ornstein and the terrifying Smough. Nito's theme sounds dark, ominous, which fits him well being the first of the dead, and you waking him up from his slumber, a Lord of the undead. Taurus Demon theme is fast paced and menacing, being a demon of chaos it fits perfectly. And being one of the first bosses of the game(Presumably assuming you don't have master key) and etc etc Then you have Gwyn's theme...it's so simple...so depressing...it makes you feel sorrow yet also empty...which is exactly Gwyn himself. He's not the great king he once was...he's a simple "boss" fight that involves fighting you straight forward...no wacky mechanics...no multiple phases...just a one versus one clash...not to mention, he's went through the worst experience...he's turned hollow...he can't even think straight anymore, his mind and power eroded away...like the fading flame he did so much to preserve...even going as far as fueling the flame with his own soul. All to delay the upcoming darkness.

*He trembled in fear of the Dark.*

[@TrevonDavis-pu6yc]

Gwyn knew that humans descend from an angel of eternal darkness. The Furtive Pygmy was an angel. It was branded by fire because it refused to lead way to disparity using Life Drain. Once infused with fire it became cursed. The angel assumed a fleeting form. A human. With its inherent power to split the gods made a perfect slave/fodder race. The angel led way to disparity through its progeny as fodder instead. As the dragons were left to defend eternity by themselves. Only to be betrayed by a brother that lacked eternity. Then the gods hid the truth of mankind’s origin. For darkness is eternal. Humans get to experience eternity. So the gods enacted a plan to ensure that mankind’s eternity would be ruined forever. That’s what Aldia discovered by using Ashen Mist on his own Dark Sign. He discovered its origin. The gods made that curse. The Darklurker in DS2 is man’s truest form. It drops Lifedrain Patch because that’s the angels power, but they’re beyond the desire to abuse this power. However, when cursed with desires… The humans will abuse that power. That’s what Gwyn feared. Humans recovering their heavenly origin. He’d be exposed. The Dark Lord would come for him with a vendetta. So instead of facing that Gwyn immolates himself to trick humanity into dooming themselves. Vendrick suffered Gwyn’s fate. The Giant Lord came for Vendrick for what he did to the giants. Vendrick couldn’t face his fate. Learning the truth he felt guilty, and didn’t want to unleash Dark. So he became Hollow as an act of repentance. He left his almighty Hollow behind so Nashandra couldn’t fulfill her father’s will. To plunge the world into an age of corrupt Dark where everyone is Hollow as opposed to monsters instead. Aldia embraced Dark, but his desire to stop the undead curse made his ascended form a reflection of the curse itself. He became an immolated mass that is linked to bonfires. So even if a human discovered the truth odds are they won’t become an angel again due to their earthly desires. That’s why Aldia is so mad with what he’s saying. Once you fully understand what the gods did. They ensured that most humans went Hollow, or assume a corrupted form. So the angels couldn’t return in mass to fix everything the gods had set to ruin. Basically if the gods can’t be a part of eternity no one can. They destroyed everything that could be. The trees. The dragons. The angels. The gods ruined everything for all time. Gwyn was actually Lord of Disparity. He was born of flame. Him and all his kind were truly devils. The only true heavenly being was the Dark Lord, and they corrupted/banished it for not being cruel. What else would remove angels from the world in order to slaughter dragons, and subjugate the other races?

I can't believe it took this long for it to finally click with me why this song is considered the best boss theme. I thought it was overrated, especially compared to Soul of Cinder, which I thought did it better. The reason I slept on it for so long was really stupid as well. It's because nobody would shut up about "pLiN pLiN pLoN!1!1!1!1!" Which is the weakest part of the song to me, but I had it ingrained in my head as the only part to focus on. However, it's the melody in the background that makes this song fantastic. From now on, I expect to see post upon post praising the, "Buh duh buh duh buh duh"
