Gael is an absolute legend from a lore perspective. He was a Slave Knight aka cannon fodder for the mooks during the war against the everlasting dragons. He survived all the ages of fire up until DS3, and when you touch the egg your sent thousands if not tens of thousands years into the future and Gael is still alive, not only that but he’s also killed every human alive. How do we know he killed every human? Well he has the completed dark soul which every human contains a bit of. And on top of all of this he used his galaxy brain and planned the time travel as he knew a champion would go to the future and kill him only to then go to the past and hand the painter girl his blood. Absolute legend

The last two livings things, fighting in a desolate wasteland sunk in ashes. They are not particularly grandiose, the stories of their deeds are not written on the annals of any history, for there is no history left at all. They were both pawns during their tale, and yet, here they stand, at the end of the world, fighting so that someone, somewhere, in a different time, can create a new world, with what's left of this.

A servant more loyal than Gwyn’s Four A warrior more fierce than the Dragonslayer. A knight more resolute than the Abysswalker. The man who claimed the blood of the Dark Soul. The man who found a purpose. The man who completed his task. A man that rivals the legends of the Age of Fire Yet his legend will be written nowhere. History won’t remember him, nowhere in the annals shall he be mentioned. His name was Gael, and he served his lady well.

The subtle environmental storytelling here regarding Gael as a person and what he's been through is incredible. By this point, Gael has been fighting for tens of thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands. He survived the entirety of the age of fire, fought in the war against the dragons, and now he's been on a quest for who knows how long to consume the dark soul of every human alive. His is a life of brutal efficiency and savagery, and we see that throughout the first phase. Endless warfare has turned him into a mere beast - He fights on all fours, he roars at you, he swings his sword wildly and with reckless abandon. He fights like an animal. And then when you come along, the first thing in thousands of years to make him bleed? When gael sees that the blood of the dark soul is spilling out of him, he knows that his mission is finally complete, and he *immediately* hollows, leaving nothing left of him but his most fundamental instincts. And then something interesting happens - He stands up, holds his sword properly... *And he starts fighting like a man.*

If there are any people who don't think this is a fitting end to this series, maybe this will convince you: It's the end of the world, and the only two living beings left are two undead. The old gods who cursed humanity are long dead, and the curse is all that's left of their legacy. In order to claim the dark soul (the games namesake) you have to fight the last enemy...yourself. Gael is no god, no great warrior, not even a terribly important character. His fate is what happens to an undead with a solemn duty and nothing left to lose, in other words, the player. Once you kill him, you get your reward and it's done. There's nothing left in the whole world. It's all ash and death. If that doesn't scream dark souls, I don't know what does.

+Spritus Animation, Games & YTPs Dark Souls "difficulty" is not really about hit points and damage. It mainly comes from obscurity (even misdirection) of important gameplay information, which is why it becomes easier and easier the more you play it. it's "easy when you know how" but it takes a while to know how. (I'm not 100% sure I like this concept, but I can't disagree that the end result is extremely fun and satisfying, at least once you get to the "you know how" part. it's a bit frustrating until you get there though.) other than that, it also has a huge number of ways to play, each surprisingly deep in its own way. (it's actually way more fluid than this, but you could say, maybe, pyro/mage/cleric/pure fighter * light/medium/heavy * shield/no shield for something like 12-24 base play styles (some of those are a bit odd though), and not including specific gear like weapons and rings)

A lot of people seem to think these two are fighting a battle that doesn't matter anymore and this couldn't be further from the truth. Gael fought for humanity. He is quite literally the champion of mankind for his pursuit of the dark soul. The sad truth however is that this journey corrupted him beyond being able to complete it. On some level Gael knew he would not be able to finish his duty which is why he enlists the aid of the chosen undead to carry the torch across the finish line for him. By going on this quest Gael ensured that humans would be able to live in a world free of the curse that was cruelly bestowed on them by unjust gods and give everyone a second chance at glory. The chosen undead winning this fight is the most important thing that could happen in the souls universe, literally everything depended on it.

@superextremehappy

2 жыл бұрын

I mostly agree with you, but I think there's a few things you got wrong. I think Gael knew from the beginning there was no way he could complete his quest alone. That's why when you meet him he's frantically praying in the cleansing chapel, he needs one stroke of good luck to be able to pull off his impossible mission. You're that good luck. That's why he sends you to the painted world to give Ariandel and Friede a kick in the pants. He knows only an unkindled can do it, and he wants to see if you're the one. That's why he has phantoms pointing you to the Ringed City from the Dreg Heap. It says on his soul description that he knew he would almost certainly never make it back. But that never mattered to him, because he's a slave knight, and all he knows is endless, hopeless battle until backup can arrive. He wasn't corrupted beyond being able to complete it, he knew from the beginning you would be the backup. He WAS driven insane, since it's probably thousands of years from when you see him in the chapel to when you find him at the end of all things, so he doesn't recognize you. BUT when he saw himself bleeding the black blood, he had a moment of clarity, and he realized that he did his job, and if that's the case then the one he's fighting is YOU, and all his work paid off. That's why he goes hollow after seeing the blood. humans go hollow when they have nothing driving them forward, that means despair OR relief. Gael is relieved, so relieved from thousands of years of unimaginable hardship that he goes hollow INSTANTLY. I don't know that it's the most important thing in the souls universe, but it definitely is a great contrast to the wasteland at the end of the world. With Gael's help, you're fighting to make sure that a new better world can be created. Gael's is definitely my favorite story in the souls universe.

Gael is the perfect example of a hard boss that doesn't rely on bullshit to be hard. He doesn't have a gank squad backing him up, doesn't have an instakill move that you need to run across the arena to avoid. He has an AOE cape, but the roll windows aren't vague. He has a lot of health, but he gives you good windows to attack, and has a cool moveset that's rewarding to dodge and predict. He's aggressive and unwavering, but you can still get a heal off if you play smart. You aren't expected to play perfectly, but you have to keep your focus until the very last swing. I wish more Elden Ring bosses were like Gael, especially Malenia...

The coolest thing about Gael is that he's just an ordinary human. Dark Souls has a very dark pessimistic vibe but at the end of the world the two strongest people left alive are human. The story has always been about the strength of human will, and Gael is someone whose power comes from their humanity. We know that humanity are just shards of the dark soul, so the dark soul Gael has makes him more human. He is the most human to have ever existed. And obviously since no God stands a chance against him, he can only be defeated by another human.

Here you are. Man versus man. no gods, no prestigious knights, no legends. A slave knight, who wasn´t supposed to even stand a chance, and a unkindled one, unfit to link the flame completely. And yet, only both survived, only both reached the end of the world. There is no fancy cutscene, there is no final music, there is no shiny reward. The world is rotten, and nothing you do will fix it. Linking the flame, leaving it to die, becoming the new dark lord... Nothing will prevent the world to sink into ashes, ashes of innumerable cycles passing, of countless heroes linking the flame. Just ash co ering the world, just Gael finding each piece of the dark soul, and becoming corrupted by it every step. And now you are alone in the future. When you go back to our timeline, you know there is no future, there is nothing that you can do with this world... Except creating another world, and leaving this one to die. You give the dark soul's blood to the painter, and there it is. Countless attempts to save the world. Everything was in vain. You failed, but there is hope in another world. Bravissimo, From.

David Maseda You don't leave the current world to "die", you simply re-link The First Flame and the new era beggins, the reason you can travel back to the "old dark-time firelink shrine" is because all the bonfires are linked trough time and matter. So basicly you travel in to past in that part of the game, after linking the first flame it does not create a new world, it brings life and hope to the current one. If you take the flame away the dark age is to come... "The First Flame quickly fades. Darkness will shortly settle. But one day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers, linked by lords past." Tiny flames will still remind the world of the old era, and bring hope that maybe one day, there will be enough souls again, to link The First Flame.

It’s sad how humanity finally got to use dark soul at its peak when all was gone. Took them getting to world ends, while almost everyone and everything is gone. However, they were still able to use it for the painting of a better future for all.

This is one of the most glorious final bosses I have ever seen. It's such a beautiful culmination. At the very end of the world where there are none left alive, only you and an old friend remain standing. A friend trying to give life a final shred of time, to go out in dignity when the dark settles, and having become the embodiment of the Dark Soul to do it. Gael has become Dark Souls itself, and not only that, he fights just like how you would. There's no shame in battle now - no one's watching. No one will ever witness your final battle. It's just you, him, and the Soul of Cinder left in the world. Oh and a Fire Keeper if you're going for that ending.

I think it's a group of pygmies who took the dark soul from the furtive. That's why gael is killing and eating them or something.

It kinda makes sense that Gael would be the final boss. By the time we fight him in the wasteland at the end of the Ringed City, Filianore is definitely dead and Gael is the oldest remaining character in the entire game (assuming you killed the Nameless King and Midir). His Repeating Crossbow description states that he has been fighting alone, on his own, against overwhelming odds on an endless journey. Plus he knows the ancient Way of White Corona miracle, which only DS1 characters knew. People are just upset because his character didn't appear at all until Ashes of Ariandel, so it feels gimmicky to have him as a surprise final boss. But the real reason Gael is the final boss of the series is because Berserk had an outsized impact on Japanese game developers who grew up reading and watching it in the 80s-90s. Miyazaki has admitted he loves Berserk and it's really easy to see its influences across the lore and storylines of the DS universe. Besides, we had already killed Artorias (i.e., Guts reference #1) and Miyazaki wanted us to fight a fallen Guts at the end of all things (because that's the most meta Berserk reference of all), so he made us fight Gael instead. Stage 1 of Gael is Guts in his Berserker "Beast of Darkness" form, hence the all-fours, beast-like fighting style. Stage 2 of the boss fight is Guts regaining a bit of his sanity as the Black Swordsman, wielding his repeating crossbow. Even the concept of Gael as a Slave Knight who served Gwyn (who looks just like the King of Midgard, by the way) and presumably the rest of the gods and their lieutenants (i.e., Dark Sun Gwyndolin and Ornstein, who are references to Femto and Griffith, respectively) lines up with Guts backstory in Berserk as an orphaned child who was raised to fight and kill his entire life without asking questions before he joined the Band of the Hawk and began to realize he could have a purpose and a dream of his own (i.e., the dark, gentle painted world that requires the Dark Soul). In Berserk, a constant question that Miura leaves unanswered is whether Guts will succumb to the evil inside of himself and use the Behelit he holds onto to make a pact with the Godhand. In Miyazaki's homage to Berserk, Guts/Gael has finally fallen to the darkness.

But then people wouldn't buy it I guess. I wouldn't mind making him 10x more powerful because, at this point, he is an antithesis to Gwyn, the most powerful character in the story.

Out of all the video game bosses I faced, none have awestrucked and impressed me as Gael. No boss has gotten my blood pumping and my adrenaline rushing like Gael. Everything about him is just amazing - the lore, the design, the movesets, the music. The first time I faced him, I felt like I was partaking in an epic anime fight - Gael gave me all he got and I did the same for him. In a way, I felt like we respected each other during the fight - Gael and I reached the end of our journeys and only one of us was going to live. Slave Knight Gael, I bow before you and tip my Mimic hat to you.

i agree elden ring might have more bosses with spectacle but this boss hits all the darksouls themes and it really feels like the collimation of the entire series with gael being being a love letter to all the dark depressing themes of the previous games. The idea that gael is the selfless in this act is beautiful. Just the scene of gael yelling in pain while fighting you at the end of the world and casually destroying basically the last ancient gods of the series (The pigmy lords) thrones and devouring them is so frickin dude. Gael was born a slave and died being the most important pigmy to ever live in the entire series. his lore and themes just hit different man, godfrey and radahn might be close in spectacle but gael wins in context every time for me.

The music and atmosphere and then Gael's roar at moments like 5:08. Gives me chills man

That jump into the air and using crossbow in 6:24 is the coolest shit I’ve ever seen in any souls game

A quote from a steam user that goes by the name KILL.A that pretty much fucks up my life. "I've seen many people talking about how someone nearly nameless as Gael being the final boss not only of the dlc, not only of the game, but of the series itself just ruinned everything. And I say that I partialy agree with that. Why? Well, having Gael as the final boss of the DLC is not so great I will agree. I myself and I believe that almost everyone was expecting some big name like pigmy or another god, so having a nobody slave knight was pretty... meh. But now, seeing the big picture, not looking only on the ringed city or dark souls 3 itself, but the soulseries as a whole, having a nobody slave knight as the final boss is just a masterpiece. You see... dark souls was never a history of conquest, or honor or of a hero saving the day... No, it is a melancholy history of a decrept civilization falling apart as time passes while nobody can't really do anything about it, other than watch and try something for no major avail. Now, what best way to finish such a sad and depressing history of a world once ruled by great and immortal dragons which waged war with mighty gods than having two nobodys fighting the last fight the world will ever see? A crazed nobody slave knight fighting a nameless undead in the end of the world while the entire world is already gone. A fight with no reason, the nobody slave is in a crazy blood rage and the nameless undead is just trying to defend himself, no major ideals, nothing to be saved, only two nobodys fighting over nothing."

Nick Alling You're on the right track, but they're not fighting over nothing. The Slave Knight is fighting to claim more Dark Soul for his lady's painting. His lady is the only reason why he sought the Dark Soul. He knew the Soul would corrupt him, but Unkindled ones, Ashen ones, they're vessels for souls. If anyone could not only claim but deliver the Soul, it'd be the Ashen One. And so, Gael leads you through the Dreg Heap, helps you slay the Demon Prince, reach the Ringed City, reveal the Dark Soul by collapsing Filianore's egg, then claim the Blood of the Dark Soul.

Nick Alling um... No. They are fighting over the Dark Soul, the last known true lord soul in existence. If Gael won, then everything would be lost forever ( or until the flame fades naturally at least.) Gael isn't a nobody. He is arguably the most powerful thing in existence when you fight him as he has the most complete and least faded lord soul. You aren't a nobody, as you are powerful enough to kill all of the current lords even though you were never even supposed to make it past Gundyr. People everywhere have heard the legend of the unkindled and recognise (or sense?) That you are unkindled.

Im not even kidding when I say that this is not only the best boss in the entire series but probably the best boss fight in any game ever. The sheer size of the arena, Gaels attacks and phases and even the music is the best in the series in my opinion. Not only thay he is also the final boss of the entire Dark Souls franchise as like many people have commented, there is nobody left in the world except you and Gael himself. He even uses a broken sword. Legit the very first weapon you obtain in the series is a broken sword and im the end you fight a man wielding one as well.

@Grim Reaper In-Game Description The Soul of Cinder is the manifestation of all Lords of Cinder that have pledged to defend the First Flame

Does anyone else notice the fact that Gael is kicking the player's ass with a larger version of a Broken Straight Sword? Love the contrast between Gwyn and Gael. We first see Gwyn at the height of his power before the game even starts, before we finally fight him as a weakened husk of himself; while we find Gael as a lowly and humble slave before The Ringed City DLC, and we fight him at the height of his strongest using the power of the Dark Soul to fuel his abilities. While Gwyn/Soul of Cinder fought with a powerful blade and the miracles of Lightning, Gael wields a rusty, broken sword alongside the dark and a repeating crossbow never seen in the game before (shut up, Avelyn).

To add to that: Gwyn, even as a hollow and as the first incarnation of the Soul of Cinder, fought methodically and carefully playing defense often against the player in what could be considered a "dance". Gael, on the other hand, fights savagely and completely on the offensive, so much so that comparisons to Manus and Artorias could be drawn since one was corrupted by the Dark (Artorias and Gael's 1st Phase) while another had been considered as a "father" or vessel for the Dark (Manus and Gael's 2nd/3rd Phase). Thinking about that now, I can see why people get mad thinking that Gael is a recycled Artorias/Manus combination. It may look lazy at first glance, but not all is seldom as seen. It seems like a smart move on FromSoft's part that Gael behaves much like Manus and Artorias because they are all influenced by the Dark in their own ways.

I know that, but it still looks like a giant Broken Straight Sword. I would guess that it plays into the symbolism of Gael's psyche, as the description of the Broken Straight Sword says, "Only the completely Hollowed would even consider using this as a weapon," and he's straight up kicking ass with it. Though he's not hollowed, he sure as hell is maddened by the power of the Dark Soul.

Elden Ring bosses are better overall, but still no Gael level bosses. Maybe Malenia, maybe...I hope Elden Ring DLC gives us the necessary answer.

The shift to phase 2 is one of the best moments in the series. I think only Ludwig the Accursed reclaiming his sword matches for me. The Dark Soul of humanity reawakens in all it's terrible power, and Gael, this old, abused, and forgotten hollow becomes the most powerful being the world has seen, matched only by you. A nameless Ashen One, unfit even to be cinder. A climatic final battle between two worthless beings at the end of the world, fighting over something that doesn't really even matter anymore. Fitting end to the series in my opinion. And I love how Gael stands on his feet, and fights like a knight, not a mindless monster like in phase 1. And Everytime Gael explodes and souls escape from his body. Like he has so much power it's literally tearing him apart. So cool.
