Pontiff and Aldrich was my favourite. The two just used all their attributes to their advantage. The whole time, Sulyvahn was aggressive, as always, using long, twisting and confusing combos that Gael couldn’t avoid. And while the Slave Knight was able to land a couple of hits on his aggressor, immediately pushing him to his second phase, the Pontiff lived up to his name and began playing it smart. He dodged Gael’s attacks expertly, keeping his distance, for he knew that Gael could kill him within a split second given the chance. Thus, Pontiff waited and baited the Slave Knight’s attacks while letting Aldrich do the heavy hitting. They attacked in perfect sync, using teamwork and long combos to hurt Gael. What they lacked in vitality and vigor, they made up for with expert teamwork. Using such tactics, Sulyvahn and Aldrich scored an overwhelming win, neither of them ever even getting close to death.

[@jacksonscott3667]

Gael definitely had way less health in Sulyvahn/Aldrich round than he did in SoC/NK. The amounts he gets hit for in the latter were enormously larger, whereas Pontiff dealing about 600 damage (as much as an average SoC strike that barely chipped Gael’s health bar) takes a healthy chunk out of him.

[@JakeRoAndOthers]

I feel as though the final fight is more of a cinematic masterpiece and testament to how you don’t need to spell out a story to make the story good. The final fight starts out with a 2v1, with each contender having something to put them in opposition. The Nameless King fights the embodiment of the Dark Soul in a fight he doesn’t even truly have any stake in, alongside the Soul of Cinder - an amalgamation of souls comprised of countless Chosen Undead (including Solaire, who founded a great order dedicated to worshipping The Nameless King), Bearers of the Curse (some of whom probably recognized the futility of linking the fire thanks to what they learned from Aldia, but chose to do so anyway), and Kings and Lords - mightiest of all being Gwyn, his father. And what of Gwyn? He fights alongside the son he exiled and erased from history, who is likely a spitting image of how Gwyn used to look. And Gwyn is cursed to share a body with so many humans, the people he oppressed, whose oppression resulted in accelerating the end of the fire he cherished. And he fights against what should be just another nameless hollow, who should have crumbled before him. But he is empowered by the Dark Soul, by that which lives within all of humanity. And as the fight continues, as the Soul of Cinder struggles, Gwyn comes closer and closer to emerging to the surface, yet he still has to fight his overwhelming fear of the Dark Soul - until his son, the one who he had mistreated so much, falls dead, and in that moment Gwyn is hit with the realization of all his mistakes. He wins the fight, but he’s already so close to death. What is the point? Why return to the Kiln, when the Fire has already died? The last Undead has been slain, alongside any other living being. He is alone. A Hollow Victory.

[@shinobix4925]

All of these fights were great, every single one, and while the Pontiff's and the God Eater's victory is a close second I just have to say that the battle between the Slave Knight and the Gods was my personal favourite, hooking me from start to end. The battle starts as an absolute slug-fest, one of the closest we've seen, all of their healthbars seeming to go down at the same rate. Nameless and Soul of Cinder seemingly working together in unison to stun Gael as often as they can at times. Then it's time for the second and third phase and the fight gets way more difficult, Nameless plays an aggressive tank of sorts while the Soul pulls out literally everything in his arsenal, from his spear to his miracles to his dex, to his pyromancer to his magic, anything to kill this demon. But a las, nothing is quite getting Gael over the edge, and the Slave Knight ends the lives of both the Cinder, and the King of War. But the fire has one last trick. As the Soul watches the Nameless King die, it awakens something, an old soul, the original soul, the soul of Faraam's father. He stands up straight, replenishes his healthbar, pulls out his true sword, and the two final bosses go at it. And at the end of it all, when the fight the fight close, but Gwyn's Soul wins the day, he uses thunder on the Knight's corpse as if pay respect to his son.

[@keriheatfan3]

Highlight of the video is aldrich and pontiff doing the synced wombo combo on gael. 7:44 🥶

[@areracken]

I think my favorite fight has to go to Suly and Aldrich. Their chemistry and teamwork just fits so well and honestly is why they dogged on Gael. Think about it Aldrich has long ranged attacks that hurt like a bitch, and whenever Gael tries to attack him he'll be able to slip away by going underground as we see at 7:54 dodging his spin attack. Then we have Suly with his agility being able to no only move around Gael with ease like in 8:04 but to attack as a decoy for Aldrich to cast long ranged spells. Then if Gael is staggered they can do this badass move 7:47. 10/10 they would be a crazy ass boss fight if Fromsoft ever wanted to add that.

[@cyberwolfy37]

the best fight is hands down SOC and Nameless king vs Gael. not only does it have really great choreography with perfect synchronized moments. it also has a story, a father and a son divided by their belief, now putting their quarrel aside to beat back the darkness at the end of the world. their reunion is bittersweet, the son still hold a grudge against his father, yet can no longer talks to his father as the father was literally consumed by his ambition to keep the first flame burning, turning himself into a mute amalgamation of souls that can no longer reason. So while both side are fighting for the same cause, both side cannot reconcile with each other. except for this moment at 11:30 as the nameless king fell in battle, he perfectly synced up with the SOC 2nd phase where they return as Gwyn, which open the story up to interpretation. did Gwyn return because he sensed his son's death, or did he return because he was forced to and upon his return, the first thing he saw was his only remaining heir falling in combat against his most sworn enemy, the dark. the tragedy here is Gwyn and Nameless just missed out their proper reunion by mere moments, the son dying just as the father awaken. the optimist in us would like to believe that both of these warriors shared a brief unspoken moment and ultimately reconcile with Gwyn accepting his son again and absorbed his soul into the Soul of Cinder so that they can fight as one. but there's also the possibility that it didn't happen, Gwyn returned after millennia of slumbering only to see everything he loved lay ruined around him. the age of fire ending, his last remaining heir dying to his sworn enemy, his sacrifice means nothing as the dark came all the same.

Let's be honest here: Ledo and Havel had all the chances, because their strong traits combined completely negate their flaws. Ledo is swift and somewhat unpredictable, and Havel is literally an embodiment of defense and raw strength. If one gets killed - killing the other is just a matter of time for Gael. What an awesome and balanced duo.

Dude 8:56-9:05 was amazing, like how SoC swings into spear mode as Nameless swings his spear like they are synced and then proceed to do a cool 1-2 combo with their spear strikes. Then at 10:09 when Nameless charges his slam attack and SoC backflips like he is dodging the slam is awesome. In general they have some nice 1-2 combos, it is like watching Father and Son fight. Just so much cool cinematic shit in the fight, especially at the end with the lighting crashing around near the end like the wrath of Gywn is there after his son died and the lightning spear to "finish" Gael summons more lightning. Honestly the last fight if Aldrich didnt have the arrow move I dont think they wouldve won.

[@D1rtySanchezZ1]

pontiff with aldrich seems like a perfect combo, even better then O & S with how they compliment each other with thier movesets and AI programming. Pontiff gets in your face with speed and with little to no breaks with attacks when the clone comes out and aldrich is slow so he stays back and pokes you with his ranged.

It's always interesting to see how badly Gundyr gets beaten up in these fights. Why? Because he is difficult due to his moveset rather than his statline. He just happens to be super specialized against players and NPCs and most of the things that make him tricky don't work too well against large targets. As soon as a fight just boils down to facetanking whatever his opponent throws at him whilst dishing out more damage himself it all falls apart because his main strength is his control, not his healthbar or damage output.
