Slave Knight Gael Dark Souls III on Piano

[@UprisingGrand]

Holy crap guys, I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am of everyone single last one of you guys! The support on this video has been overwhelming in such a short timespan! This is probably gonna be my last Dark Souls III piano video for awhile. I have read countless comments about diving into Bloodborne's OST. You all are definitely interested so I will start working on Bloodeborne projects soon. Until next time, Unkindled Ones!!!

[@PeterAvastrat]

[@roriksavant]

Good luck!

Fear not the good music, my friend. And let the chords ring.

[@MadhatClemens]

The Dark Souls series has one overarching theme; the concept of something once beautiful falling to ruin. Kingdoms are discarded and abandoned, heroes become mere commodities to fill a merchants' pockets, great mythical beings are reduced to pitiful shades of a majestic era that demands recognition. This concept is what makes the bosses in the Dark Souls series meaningful, and why some of the best fights have songs that are not blood-boiling themes that get your adrenaline flowing. Why? Because that would imply a mighty battle of two great forces. And that could not be further from the truth when it comes to Slave Knight Gael and his fight with the Ashen One. The entirety of existence, cataclysmic battles, wondrous beings and breathtaking sceneries... All are gone. The world has lived far beyond its golden years, and it is now anaemically wasting away. The miniscule remnants that remain wander to and fro. And here, at world's end, two unimportant figures scrap over the last remaining remnants of power, for meaningless reasons. This is not a glorious battle. This is a mercy killing. A song that evokes tragic beauty. And this is a pretty damn good cover of it. Nice work!

[@carnictus23]

yeah, it always feels like you're late to the party, everything important has already happened, everything's crumbling and in ruins. Only time you really feel like you're in the right place at the right time is SoC. Also you're fighting a god in phase two of Gael.

[@danielantony1882]

Gael is not a God.Gael is a human.And so is the Dark Soul.

[@BlackXSunlight]

A lot of people don't know this, but Lord of the Rings, arguably the godfather of modern fantasy, invoked the same theme of decadent beauty. Our heroes, either related to bigger heroes from ages past or those who worshipped them, march palace ruins and abandoned keeps and all the incredible battles and moments have already happened. It's an interesting callback and I like how we get to revisit a world with both fascinating and tragic history.

At the last boss of the last DLC of the last Souls game, at the end of the last Age of Fire, the last two undead of an ashen wasteland fought for the last and most ancient of artifacts. This is their song. It ends in fire and blood, in lighting, rust and dunes of ash, stretching to the infinite horizon. The Souls series ended not with a whisper, or a breeze, or a windstorm. It ended in a Gael.

[@francomarrocu7430]

Zero Kelvin underrated comment

[@Geocrazygaming]

Not a lotta dads that play dark souls. But i found one!

[@taterskins1033]

You and some others inspired me to compile a sort of poem: At the end of the final Age of Fire, the last two undead of an ashen wasteland fight for the last and most ancient of the artifacts. This is their song. At the end of time the ancient dragons have fallen alongside the gods who slew them. The once great lords are nought but cinder - their heirs only maddened beasts. The world is left but ash and ruins. One of dark, only fit for cannon fodder, mad with the power the very gods feared. The other of ash, not fit to even be cinder, wielding the strength that toppled the gods themselves. Both unyielding in their purpose. Both destined to break the shackles the gods placed upon them. Two nobodies, fighting over nothing, in the middle of nowhere: a battle no one will remember, for a cause long forgotten. One last time Fire will do battle with the Dark, at the end of the world. It is the end of the final Age of Fire. The last two undead of an ashen wasteland fight for the last and most ancient of artifacts. This is their song. It ends in fire and blood, in lighting and dust, in rust and dunes of ash, stretching across the infinite horizon. The world ends not with a feeble whisper, or a gentle breeze, or a fleeting final breath. It ends, in a Gael.

Picking it up again 7 years later, and I'm a little rusty but it's coming back to me. There's no way I'll be able to play this off the rip, but I'm downloading and printing the sheet music so I can analyze it and start practicing right away. Those first few notes give me chills every time I hear them. So I'm gonna start with those and work my way up. Thank you for your work. It takes a lot to arrange music for the piano.

The start of phase 2 breaks my soul, Phase 2 in general is pure music.

Left hand pinky. All I'm gonna say

Fine work, Skeleton! It's hard to really hear the music in an intense and dramatically gripping fight. Nice to see the souls community not only has talent but uses it to express their appreciation for games they love.

Thank you so much for making your sheet music arrangements free

Noice! You captured the moment really well here! When it comes to the original track, phase 1 is the best part of the piece for me. Something about suits Gael more than the following phases. Though phase 3 feels more like it suits the setting over the previous phases. Even though it feels too epic for who Gael is as a character, it goes with the setting much better than phase 1. Then phase 2 is just a more heated version of phase 1. It's not a bad part, I think it just does what phase 3's music was doing just not quite as well. 1: Phase 1 10/10 2: Phase 3 9/10 3: Phase 2 7.5/10 Onto your recreation: You nailed the way the piece sounds, and you shifted a full orchestral piece over to a piano really well. In the same way you got the feels bang on. This gives the same vibes the og piece does. But there's something about a piano that makes a song sound more personal, and it's done wonders to pick that second phase up. Excellent work!

Ben Beal I feel like phase 2 is more representative of the ending of the world itself. It's panicked. It's epic. Lightning is in the background and the wind picks up. While phase 3 is more representative of Dark Souls as a series.

[@connormac4401]

Phase 1 really gives a dark, heavy and sad vibe and set the tone of the entire fight. Phase 2 is a nice phase change, it is epic but still has the melody. Phase 3 is overly dramatic and at some point sounds messy I don't think it fits the fight really much, except the environment. It should be subtle and heavy for the entire fight like they did to Abyss Watchers OST.

Phase 2 of gaels soundtrack was worth the $25 I spent on these awful DLCs

[@carnictus23]

Well in phase two he LITERALLY becomes a god, because the entire dark soul has gotten to work in his blood, which is equivalent to a lord soul. Idk about three though. Maybe using some Manus powers

Jotun 'awful'? (excluding AoA)

This sounds like a German silent movie, I love it
