Gwyn, Lord of Cinder - Dark Souls - ENDING

[@rascality9714]

Fun fact: Gwyn being afraid of the dark and refusing to let the fire fade is reflected in his boss music. It's played completely on the light keys and none of dark keys. Brilliant touch by Motoi Sakuraba.

[@Kazuhiro-i]

And there is 2 main pianos, one thst constantly repeats itself and the other than slowly "goes higher" (you)

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

AKA the key of A minor.

[@Slider1207]

​@@jonathanhenderson9422 Seriously. It's like people want to announce how little they know about music by thinking "only white keys" is somehow meaningful. It isn't. At all.

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

@@Slider1207 I mean, it's possible a composer might think "character is afraid of the dark so I'll write in C-Major or A-Minor to avoid black keys," but it doesn't really change anything about the quality of the music; it's just a fun little detail about why a composer might choose those two particular keys.

I did not know this until today, but I'm glad I know now cause it's super interesting. Thanks for sharing

[@mattsherman4964]

Gwyn is super unique for a final boss because you hear about him throughout the entire game. Thinking he's this mighty king. Then when you go to fight him he's basically this husk of his former self, a fallen god. It's actually kinda sad. I had a lot of fun watching this series, I can't wait for DS2!

[@goncalosilva8069]

Also, when you think of a final boss, you expect an epic, triumphant sounding song to go along with the fight, but not in this case. Gwyn is very unique in that the song is super sad and depressing because of exactly what you said: he's a husk, his goals are out of his reach and dark will eventually come upon his world. The type of storytelling that truly made me appreciate this series.

[@TeppicTheAbysswalker]

Yes, the underwhelming of Gwyn as the final boss is pretty much the idea here. The music is different to accentuate this feeling of tiredness and misery.

[@illusion8457]

@@TeppicTheAbysswalker I just wish he wasn't so unbalanced man. If you parry him, he's piss easy. If not, good luck ever getting the chance to heal.

[@soumyadeepbanerjee964]

Gwyn charging at the player like a rabid animal with perhaps the most iconic piece of music in the series playing is a great character moment. This mythic figure, purported to be the most influenetial being in his era being reduced to a lifeless shell is a fine encapsulation of the world that Fromsoftware has created.

[@erickchristensen746]

Remember Gwyn’s music… I can’t say anything more about that, just remember it on your journey through the Souls games. I always loved it, it gave a sense of sadness to what the player is expecting to be this massive super epic fight. Instead you fight a broken God that no longer has any sense of himself, just a husk empowered by the flame to protect it.

[@ShiivaWilding]

People are saying the song is composed on the white keys of the piano because it fits Gwyn better, but that's delving into the lore of the boss and his motives. Gwyn means 'white' in the welsh language, and for someone trying to cling to his age of fire, rebelling against the next age of dark that he knows will follow and undo everything he worked to build, it makes sense that his theme contains no black keys, and no instances of dark. He saw first hand what dark could do, how it poisoned the township of Oolacile, what it did to his best knight Artorius whom he sent to deal with the problem, and he's terrified of what is to come. Likely a request by Hidetaka Miyazaki to the composer Motoi Sakuraba, who took the challenge and produced arguably the greatest boss theme of all time.

[@90piterr]

dark and abyss are not the same, age of dark isn't anthring like the abyss was, it's just the human age.

[@ShiivaWilding]

@@90piterr But they are linked, and here's the problem with an age of dark, as Gwyn saw it; Oolacile was consumed by dark when the township disturbed Manus' grave, and when one has too much of the dark soul, they can be corrupted/consumed by it. Manus was so corrupted by dark that it erupted from his grave, creating the abyss and consuming the township. Now imagine an age of dark is allowed to happen... how long do you think the world has before the constant need for power causes another such incident? And what happens when there's no one around whose powerful enough to stop it from spreading... the age of fire fades, the Gods abandon Lordran, or what's left. Gwyn was rightly terrified of dark because it had a will of its own, and an age of dark has further reaching implications than simply an age of humanity. Such beings cannot be trusted.

[@chrispratt3666]

One last cool thing about DS1. There is another ending. If you don't talk to Frampt you can meet another toothy snake guy named Kaathe in the abyss after defeating the Four Kings. He explains how Frampt is basically manipulating the chosen undead into sacrificing themselves and preserving the age of fire. You can walk out of the Kiln after defeating Gwynn to become the Lord of the new age of Dark.

[@ZoeBateman]

It's sad to see the series end, but it's gotta end somewhere. Was a pleasure to re-experience this great game from a new perspective. Even the perspective of experiencing Gwyn's absolutely atrocious runback, we all had to do it before we discovered parrying him! Very excited for DS2! It's my personal favourite in the trilogy, but it's very much the misunderstood middle child of all the FromSoftware games. It's very different from the others you've played, even DS1 in terms of how the game feels. There's also a lot more bosses in DS2, and some are hidden, some need to be backtracked to etc. A friendly tip for DS2: levelling ADP is important! Equip load only really affects roll distance in DS2, not i-frames, and it's ADP you want if you want to improve roll i-frames! Also remember, having a few lifegems can be a lifeSAVER if you run out of estus, and a relatively early merchant can sell infinite lifegems for the whole game.

As I was finishing my play-through with this game just recently I decided to watch someone else play through it to see what else people are doing, how they react to these things, what they struggled on compared to what I did, what choices they made, things I missed that I could’ve seen from their play-through. I’m so glad to say this okay-through was exactly what I was looking for and I have also found one of my new favorite creators. The humor, the attention to detail in things like lore, the appreciation of the music, the relatability of also struggling in some areas of the game (it’s okay my too) Thank you Mati. I can’t wait to watch your Dark Souls 2 playthrough as I play through mine. (Also to be honest, no I did not struggle with Gwyn at all😂.

[@smocloud]

I will never forget the feeling I had the first time I ever beat this game. I felt so proud of myself, so unbelievably good. Then I “lit” the final bonfire, got the infamous cutscene of “why am I on fire” and then the credits rolled. When the credits rolled, I can’t describe it, but it was like everything I had just gone through came rushing back to me, and it dawned on me. It was over. I was never going to feel this way again. And I cried. Thank god I was proven wrong when dark souls 3 came out. Also, I get why it happened, but it sucks that Solaire didn’t survive, you can summon him for the Gwyn fight. Very useful if you can’t (or didn’t want to learn how to) parry.

[@LWmusik]

I've played this game a ton of times, but damn I've never seen half of the dialogue before! That moment with the giant blacksmith in the last episode was like the most heartwarming video game moment ever

Congrats Mati, I'm watching this as I'm typing this. While I did vote for Dark Souls 3 I'm excited to watch you play Dark Souls 2. I just finished my replay of Dark Souls 1 earlier this week and it was fun revisiting this game after spending the past year playing Elden Ring. It still holds up well today and I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I and many others have. Hopefully soon we'll get a tier-list of each of the bosses and what you think of them, just a suggestion. Cheers Edit: My first time playing I struggled with him for a good bit until I accidentally realized you could parry Gwyn, after that he became much easier, which I feel is the point. He sacrificed himself to continue the age of fire, and has become so weak as a result he can be parried, which you can't do with any other boss in the game.

I immensely enjoyed watching you accomplish your first playthrough of DS1, my first souls like game. Just to let you know about DS2, there are 2 versions of the game, "vanilla DS2" (original release), and Scholar of the First Sin (SotFS, rerelease on next-gen consoles with all DLC). There are significant gameplay changes to DS2 in SotFS, one of the most notable being modified enemy locations, which contribute to more gank squads. I see vanilla DS2 as more accessible to a first playthrough, while SotFS is like a challenge mode version. But otherwise, it is your call on which version you pick in the end.

[@FirstLast-yc9lq]

This game has a lot of themes about self-preservation of oneself and your kind. Even in the face of an inevitable destruction, people will fight for what and who they love, even if that comes with sacrifices and even atrocities. In the opening cutscene of the game, it talks about the age of ancients which was the age of dragons. Suddenly, fire appeared and lord soul's were within them - this signaled the end of the dragons and beginning of the age of fire (time of lords). The dragons didn't accept their fate, they fought to stay the apex predators. Cut to when the game takes place, the end of the age of fire is near, and the age of dark will soon begin - the age of dark is supposed to be the age of man, but the lord's are also not accepting the natural order and fighting to preserve their own. You got the ending where you sacrificed yourself to keep the age of lords going, essentially, keeping humans as second-class citizens to the lord's. For me, the bittersweet ending is choosing the age of dark and beginning the age of man. If you ever replay this game, shoot for that one.

The level of freedom imo that I felt was not even exceeded in Elden Ring (largely because theres no warping and the areas are more dangerous.) Also the game has to be appreciated for being so innovative and brilliant in 2011.

I don't know if that would have worked for Princess Dusk, though.

Oh boy what a pleasure, following you from Elden Ring has been one of the best things of my life, is so much fun :3

I....did not struggle with Gwyn, but that's because I went in Havel'ed up with a +5 silver knight shield and a +5 blacknight sword and I had gotten really good at parrying, so I just parried him down and smashed him. Loved watching you play through this, since I just finished my playthrough a couple of weeks ago. Currently working my way through Dark Souls 2 so I'm really looking forward to your journey there as well!

When you become a poise monster you can just face tank everything. I love it.
