[@bluelink142]

Fun fact about Sir Alonne some people may not know: He is depicted as a Samurai of sorts. And because of that, if you defeat him without taking a single hit, his death animation changes. Instead of falling to the floor in a generic death, he instead commits seppuku and stabs his katana into his chest.

[@RobbieStarburster]

I love Dark Souls 2. Sir Alonne, Fume Knight and the Ivory King are all top tier. All amazing bosses with incredible lore and music. DS2 will always have a place in my heart.

[@zangy3748]

Always getting goosebumps when the slow section starts. I always think that Sir Alonne while being a formidable warrior he ultimately wasn't able to fulfill his duty in this foreign land. He is a samurai in the truest sense. Capturing all these emotions is so amazing

[@GeoGyf]

Yeah its especially exceptional what they did. These themes do stand out among the 5 Souls-like games we have so far.

[@jarlsterra]

Here's a take. The dlc levels, Brume Tower, Shulva/Dragon Sanctum, and Frozen Eleum Loyce are all three the absolute best levels in any FromSoft game on a structural design and conceptual basis. Shadow Keep, Anor Londo, Leyndell, Irithyll, Cathedral of the Deep and all the other notable ones are incredible too, but these three are just the pinnacle.

[@HeyItsNate]

The somber tone is fitting because we’re seeing this in the perspective of the Old Iron King. Fighting your oldest friend would be tragic and sad, literally Anakin vs Obiwan moment

[@tidal948]

I love sir alonne theme, and its funny to me that people talks more about DS2 than about DS3, even after so many years, even after Sekiro and Elden Ring, people still make theories and reactions to DS2, that is awesome

I simply cannot put into words how much I love everything about Sir Alonne. Genuinely one of the best swordsmen characters, and he doesn't even speak a word in the game.

[@colonelquesadilla5080]

Dark souls 2 music is criminally underrated, but thankfully this track at least gets the recognition it deserves. Thanks for covering it!

[@sorathesapphirestar8107]

CLICKED SO FAST. One of my favorite tracks and where Yuka already gained my attention big time. At this point I just think some people hate on DS2 for the joke, but it does sadden me that some just won’t give the game a chance simply because it’s widely considered “the worst souls game”. Although I do agree that it is the weakest of the 3, I still adore DS2 and wish people could form their own opinions and try the game.

[@roar104]

People hate it more than it deserves for sure

[@ExileTwilight]

I personally find 3 the weakest. It's fun to play through and smooth as butter, but part of that removes the skill of having to conserve stamina because it recovers so fast anyway.. Not to mention instead of Dark Souls 2 which actually plays like it's far in the future and the world has largely forgotten about "the Lords", Dark Souls 3 just throws all of that away and says "yeah but, what if Dark Souls 1, again?" Will definitely say that the DS3 DLC's is probably my favorite sections of gameplay and story for the trilogy, but overall I think DS2 has the better evolution on the lore and mechanics (Adp and soul memory notwithstanding)

[@stormthethunderwolf4747]

I've played 2 countless times and i do like it

[@Voingous]

@@ExileTwilight Introducing new, shitty mechanics is just part of the series tbh. Adaptability and soul memory *do* suck for sure, but 2 introduced so many big and little good mechanics and features while trying to innovate that should be praised as well. People would be more willing to give attention to them I'm sure if 3 didn't disregard every single one of them except a couple. I'm very convinced that if Dark Souls 2 got a proper remake that let them add the polish to the game that it needs from going through development hell, it would easily be a contender for the best one. (although to me it already is)

[@soulstice94]

Dark Souls 2 was my favorite, and still has some of my favorite customization! Being able to infuse special or boss weapons with elemental damage really allowed for some neat builds THAT and the 3 crown DLC was some of my favorite content and stories and brought Yui Tanimura up as he salvaged the game in development to the point that he got to co direct Dark souls 3 and Elden Ring

[@hoytkeyler1997]

Sir Alonne's ost is surely one of the best ost I've heard, and one of the most satisfying bosses I've faced, a perfect mix between the composition of Yuka Kitamura and the developers of DS2, you can feel the heaviness of the blows of sir alonne and his incredible agility, these two components are felt perfectly in the composition, a pure and rare marvel which has no place in dark souls 2, such as sir artorias in DS1 they are too far ahead of their respective game

[@ashamefulgamer1578]

I hope someone reads this because i honestly feel like Alonne's theme is like an argument between two person which would represent Alonne and The Iron King disagreeing, parting ways and then duelling, ending up in Alonne's defeat at the hands of the corrupt King.

[@antisocialexperiment2033]

As the first song in any of the Souls series with lyrics it lead directly into Bloodborne and Elden Rings more epic voiced tracks and it hit the ground running with this banger. It was so wild not to have any other song like it at the time. It works so well. Thankfully songs like this became the norm from Bloodborne onward. As for the fight itself it was my favorite for a long time. It was a true duel with a warrior at their peak. No state of decay... no fall from grace... you take a trip to the past to fight a master in their prime.

[@vhalrougelarfouxe]

DS2 for me is a fun mess. It will never get the fame of DS1 and DS3 but my golly, I love the boss storylines and the amazing twists.

[@kennyg3118]

DS1 was just a mess to me with a few memorable moments, DS3 was pretty solid though.

[@rollernkg68]

Sir Alonne was an eastern warrior, and the most loyal knight of the Old Iron King. He was his counselor and taught his knights the ways of the katana. With his help the King became the ruler of what was once the kingdom of Alken, and created an empire of Iron that he himself found a way to produce to the point of creating an entire castle put of Iron. But, when he began to be taken by greed, Alonne left, seeking lands unknown, and in the King's now growing fear of usurpation he personally went after Alonne, slaying him within his tower. This is the memory you experience, and what do you find at the end? A simple wooden throne, of what was once a little known, unestablished king with high ambitions.

[@mikerelf]

For me, Dark Souls 2 remains the favourite among all Souls games. While it did some things worse than other entries, it also took many risks which I feel paid off so well. More interesting covenants, absolutely the best NG+ system out of every game, power-stancing, and, while it's not for everyone - it had the most varied and interesting PvP scene by far. And all 3 DLS areas are probably the best ones in any Souls series, too (yes, even the Reindeers of Doom section is fun for me, fight me!)

[@UltimusTerminus]

[@QwertyBoredom122]

Dark Souls 2 is easily the worst of the souls games with many flaws, it is also however the only Souls title to have gone through "development hell" with Tanimura having to literally put together a full functioning game in a span of about 4-6 months from the dumpster fire that Shibuya left him.

[@IronianKnight]

I like to think that thematically, DS1 and DS3 happen at the end of an Age of Fire, but DS2 happens after an Age of Dark. The world tried to move on from the tired old story of Gwyn and his people, building up new stories in new lands. That ancient curse would not be denied, though, and as we play we see the archetypes of the original story impose themselves on the new world, shoving the souls of Fire into its major players and twisting reality into the old patterns by the authority of the Darksign. It's a neat way to explain the spacial errors, the narrative chaos, and most importantly the abundance of new and unrecognizable lore present in the game. Thinking of it from this angle makes a lot of the issues feel less grievously bad, though of course nothing in the gameplay will change from how you perceive it.

[@birdofapollo312]

It is heavily implied that you are playing as Alonne's previous master in his boss fight. Alonne left his master when the king began to become corrupt in pursuit of his goals. The king's ideals became opposite of Alonne' s and so the Leader of the guard and the man who helped the king become who he is now left, back to the towers were he first swore his allegiance. The king felt betrayed and hunted Alonne down. If you take no damage in this fight, Alonne commits Seppuku rather than rejoin the king. In the next room, lies the king's first throne, a reminder of the king that Alonne swore his allegiance to. Everything the king lost in persuit of his goal comes rushing back to him. He hangs Alonne's armor up respectfully and returns back to the keep, now sinking into lava from the weight of his sins. The king tosses himself from his keep, into the rising lava, and is never seen again... Such a great story and Alonne's song always sounded sad to me. This is a battle between to friends, one singleminded (the king) and the other reflective (Alonne).

[@GeoGyf]

The Alonne fight is like DS1's Artorias of the Abyss DLC. The protagonist goes back in time for a bit and sets the events that made it possible.

[@birdofapollo312]

@@GeoGyf I always took the term "Memory Mist" literally. Especially since Alonne's armor is hung up the way it is. But everything is grey in a DS game

I actually really like 2 personally. I was hoping I would see a track of it on the channel one day. Sir Alonne is a really nice fight, lore story, and has one of the best tracks in the entire series I feel. The composers for From are freaking amazing. Another Ds2 track I think you'd be interested in is "Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin". It is it's own song, but I feel like it's similar enough to Gwyn's theme that I think the comparison is meant to be made. But sounds like the tracks inverse in tone and meaning. I would be super interested in hearing your take on it.

[@phantasmalphoenix2990]

The DS2 DLCs were some of the best experiences I've had in a souls game, peaking at Sir Alonne. Besides the run back to his boss room, my favorite experiences in DS2 were my attempts at Sir Alonne and trying to defeat him without taking damage, him leaping backwards and quickly dashing forwards with rising slashes and learning his patterns to successfully counter him coupled with the amazing music is truly the peak of DS2 IMO, especially for me as a big fan of humanoid/warrior style bosses in souls games. Also I like that you included sections where you read a bit of his lore and watched a bit of gameplay to get a feel for him, I think doing those sections in the future would be great! Also don't know if you are still covering Monster Hunter music but I would love to see you talk about the original Gore Magala theme or MH World's version of Rajang's theme, they are up there with the best honestly, especially Gore Magala's theme, and if you are up for another Alicorn style analysis with 3 different tracks then technically Gore Magala's theme is connected to Chaotic Gore Magala's theme and Shagaru Magala's theme with them all being the same monster just in different forms

[@soulstarved4116]

A ronin swore loyalty to an unestablished lord and proped-up his kingdom to unprecedented power to become the Iron King. But when the corruption of this power turned his lord into a monster, Alonne could stomach it no longer and ventured to a new land, or so they say... In truth, the Iron King could not let such treachery stand. They clashed in a bloody conflict to decide the fate of the kingdom, but when the Iron King stood victorious over his old friend. He saw naught, but his old throne tucked away in Alonne's chamber. So there's a theory that since you fight Alonne in the memory of the Iron King, but you never see the Iron King, suggests that you're playing the role of the Iron King.

[@failovrgs]

I loved this track! I didn't really like Dark Souls 2 as much as the others in the From Software's souls games, but I was excited to hear Yuka Kitamura's compositions in this game, since it was her first time working with them. I was amazed and satisfied to hear this and recognizing her style. In my opinion, Sir Alonne's track feels like the evolution twist from Dark Souls' music style to the Dark Souls 3 style

[@aaronstrever8517]

There once was a young king of a small kingdom but this king had great ambition so he conqured the nearby kingdom of ven. However, he soon revised that his kingdom was falling until a stranger came. This strange possed a peculiar blade that people could not tell if he controlled it or it controlled him. He plegged his service to thus young king. Though his council and power the kingdom flourished once more. However the king became obsessed with the secrets of iron. The warrior then left in disgust of this king. However, the king could not bear such a slight against him. He took his army and attack the home of these warrior and his followers. The king confronted the warrior and where once he could never land a blow on him the reverse was true now. The king defeated the warrior, however the warrior committed seppuku then let the king kill him.

[@VoidShyrok]

Sir alonne is a mentor of greatness. He traveled the land, helping those he deemed worthy masters rise to become noble leaders. One such master was a man called the Iron king. Who gained his name from the vast mountains of iron he built his castle on. But although the king reached his position with Alonne's guidance, he forgot this and became greedy. Paying less and less attention to Alonne's council and spending more of his days harvesting all the Iron he could from the land. Seeing the king's greed, Alonne left. And what we fight is merely a memory of the knight, left behind in his armor. But realk talk-Alonne demands respect. Fighting him is a dance of memorization, reaction times, and patience. Get greedy and you will get put in the ground. Much like the Iron king.

[@Never_heart]

I have yet to play DS2 but this song really speaks to a blending of enduring nobility and keen furiousity. This song sounds like how a well made sword looks like. Beautiful, terrible and magestic in it's capacity and intent to kill you

Lore wise this fight is in the Memory of the Iron King as he went to hunt down Sir Alonne who left the King after he became cruel. We play the role of Iron King as he kills his former most loyal knight.

Ah yes, sir Alonne of the Polished floor. He was just sitting there after mopping the floor and while it's still wet, you step onto it I remember it was pain to try to skip the whole area from bonfire to the bossfight each run everytime i have to repeat the bossfight

Forever Alonne: "Finally! A worthy Opponent!"

It's interesting how some of Sir Alonne's theme can be heard in the DS3 main theme, especially in the 8:22 section when you go back to it, or maybe it's just really similar vocals.
