[@soumyadeepbanerjee964]

Soul of Cinder's first phase corresponds to all the player characters that have linked the first flame throughout the previous games, that's why it entails different builds (strength, dex, magic, pyromancy), it even uses the Dark Wood Grain Ring from DS 1 for the backflips.The Soul of Cinder is the manifestation of all Lords of Cinder, so with Abyss Watchers, Yhorm, Aldrich and Ludleth gone all that reamins are the player characters and Gwyn himself!

It's a worthy final boss. On subsequent NG+ runs it can actually be the hardest boss in the game.

[@leithaziz2716]

@@quitenice5205 Soul of Cinder on SL1 runs is actually the hardest boss in the game. He has the largest moveset in the base game and a good chunk of moves that take some practice to learn (usually some delayed strings or ones with tight dodge-windows like the curved sword phase). The only thing holding him back on normal playthroughs is his small healthpool.

[@leithaziz2716]

Summoning Yuria for the boss gives you her weapon and outfit when you go back to Firelink (she'll be gone as well), but Yuria HAS to survive the whole fight. If she dies at any point during the fight you have to summon her again, otherwise she'll just go back to Firelink. It kinda sucks since I like her gear but I had to kill her to get it.

[@gillaliglaou2840]

ringed city bosses are good but you should always remember that angel spraying us with his projectiles in a poison swamp that contains quite a few harald knights and to top things off once you are out of the swamp you find 3 annoying imps with what I consider the toughest npc invader in the game, and all of this happens with no bonfires in between. And even if you manage to get past all of this, there's another angel waiting for you to annoy you until you reach the bonfire.

[@Rin-ash]

[@fefino1411]

The Soul of Cinder is one of the best final bosses I have witnessed. It is the amalgamation of all of those who have linked the fire before and there is just so much good stuff baked into it. The moves and theme of Gwyn, the scortched armor of Oscar or (the player) from Dark souls 1, the different playstyles of players throughout the games, whether it be a pyromancer, sorcerer or strength build. It even looks like he has the walking animation of Yhorm, though this might just be me looking for similarities. It is a perfect boss for wrapping up the series.

Was a blast to watch! As with the Twin Princes this fight also has small details that show the insane brain of Miyazaki. For one the death animation of the Soul of Cinder and Gwyn are the same. Also Gwyn's theme is played only on white keys on the piano because he was so afraid of the dark. And for sure firelink GS, I used it for the DLC's and had a blast with it, even if it's not the strongest weapon.

The lore behind Soul of Cinder is so cool ''Soul of Cinder is an amalgamation of previous Lords of Cinder such as Lord Gwyn and the Chosen Undead (assuming they survive and manages to link the flame in their world), and every other character who has ever linked the First Flame.'' Yes, canonically Soul of cinder is every Lord that has ever existed in the Dark Souls universe, including every player that has ever completed the game and chosen to link the fire.

Excluding the DLCs, Soul of Cinder is one of my favorite final bosses in these games.

What a powerfull way to end on.

[@rizr5219]

This is my favourite ost in the entire series. Such a great video to watch on a Friday!

[@mitchryan257]

I love how the Soul of Cinder changes movesets, really reinforces that it is the amalgamation of previous Lords of Cinder: a knight with the longsword, a cleric with the spear, a pyromancer with the scimitar, a sorcerer with the catalyst, and then finally Gwyn the First Lord of Cinder. To think, Soul of Cinder could have had moves borrowed from the Abyss Watchers, Aldrich, Yhorm, the Princes, and then Gwyn. This also narratively shows that there have been more than who were resurrected by the bell. Although, one could wonder why they weren’t all resurrected. That said, I wonder what stats I would need to emulate at least first stage Soul of Cinder…

[@moviebad109]

My favorite part of this fight is no joke, the fact that no matter where you are in the OST, it has a blended transition ready to go for phase 2 theme. Really impressive OST composition in this game and Bloodborne particularly in that category.

I'm glad like so many others you made the connection back to Gwyn, and his moveset is EXACTLY a replica of his fight in DS1. A bit if lore for you, Gwyns soul, that started the age of fire, and linked the first flame, is still in there! In the flame, fighting to keep his dying age going, until the whole world is so fed up with him prolonging the inevitable age of dark, that the freaking sun had turned into a giant dark sign. Gwyn is the first, and last problem in the world, if he had just sat down, and let the age of Dark, the natural order of things, take place? Maybe things wouldn't have been so bad. Edit: Also I IMPLORE you Mati, for the two final bosses of the DLC, use your greatsword? You've been so reluctant to use it, and the last two bosses, are most definitely the hardest to kill. So please, use the weapon you've neglected for most of this playthrough? No one, absolutely no one would fault you for it, not one bit.

1 hour 12 mins that reaction to gwyns plin plin plon is so priceless

I was shocked to see soul of cinder as the thumbnail but thank you for the explanation! happy to watch, no matter the boss!

Apparently Mati has a kink for cock and Ball torture, at first going in with near to non upgraded weapons ;D He kicked 9 times this episode making it 252 times in total.

Before choosing an ending you could USB or cloud save your data, then watch an ending, erase save data on system and re-transfer it from like a USB stick to then try another ending.

I really can't wait to watch your sekiro playthrough, its such a good game after playing the dark souls trilogy.

I admire your insane patience and positivity throughout the souls series. Most people like myself start to rage after a certain point.
