i took great offence to this, because clearly it's not. so i made my own version. enjoy.

Okay, so I was fighting a boss in Dark Souls 3 called Pontiff Sulyvahn, and he was ridiculously difficult and I died over and over to him. I had to put on some music while trying to figure out how to beat him, and this popped up in my recommended. It actually fit really well with the flow of the fight and kept me trying again and again. I don't think I would've beaten him if it wasn't for this video. Thank you, dancing gecko.

Yo hope you're having fun with ds3, it's my favorite game. Though imagining someone duking it out with Pontiff to this song makes for a hilarious scene. 😂 You are kinda forced to dance with him at that speed, aren't you?

[@DanielAyy]

@@Ashen-One1 I am, it's probably my favourite souls game so far :) It kind of felt like a dance too, seeing as I had to be pretty much perfect with my rolls to avoid damage, at least with my build. The music was mostly there to keep me calm during the tense fight lol
