Dark Souls 3 Ringed City: Slave Knight Gael Boss Fight [4K 60FPS]

"THAT'S what you were supposed to do when i summoned you to fight sister Friede"

Everybody a gangsta until Gael whips out the Glock 18 Crossbow.

That airborne crossbow barrage that ends in a front flip sword slam is quite possibly the most badass thing I’ve ever seen

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

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.

*Remember guys, all of this happened because The Painting Lady refused to buy regular black paint.*

"At the end of the day as long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead." -The Sniper

Two undeads fighting in a empty arena for something that does not matter anymore

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 first enemy in the first game is a hollow wielding a broken sword The final enemy in the final game is a hollow wielding a broken sword I’ll miss you, Dark Souls

Gael as Boss Fight: *THIS* Gael as a Ally vs Friede: ho ho ho Merry Christmas!

He wasn't this strong against Friede. How many push-ups did he do? How many sit-ups? WHAT KIND OF JUICE DID HE DRINK!?

This boss is the PERFECT ending to the series. Nothing will change my mind The world is dead and all that is left are ashes, the blood of the dark soul and two nobodies. It doesn't get better than that

You've come so far only to face what is essentially a background character in the most intense boss fight ever. Very Dark Souls.

Best boss in Souls series

Slave Knight Gael's weakness was his humility. His desperate plan had one flaw: he thought that the chosen one would beat him easily.

The fact that this man kicks your shit in with what is essentially a big-ass Broken Straight Sword is honestly inspiring.

You ever fight someone so hard that your clothing, the weather, and the namesake of your universe all join your side?

*Hand it over, that thing, your crippling depression over the fact that this is one of the most beautiful moments in gaming history as it wraps up one of the greatest trilogies in all of gaming*

By the gods, fear it Gael. Fear the Old Blood.
