And right when all 4 of them were on top of Gael, he explodes in full anime entering his final form, wiping out the corvian knight and the millwood knight right after
Ultra greatsword weapons like fume ultra greatsword have a stop WA, but it has an overhead swing, however, the zewihander stomp WA has an ‘uppercut’, which sends enemies flying
Meh I still think a lot of other fights are way better. Especially the Nameless King and Soul of Cinder vs Gael for example. Don't get me wrong each fight is awesome but it is hard to top that one for me.
I think they were all equally valuable: corvian knight was the agile bait that kept him busy for most of the fight, harald knight was the tank with massive damage and highest survivability (to make it to the end), ringed knight was agile and had tons of dps so he was hard to hit but helped a lot with stagger and the milwood UNIT dealt great damage, great stagger, was a bit of a tank and had the best weapon art for this group and particularly against this boss. Definitely a fuckboy team.
So this fills in all the standard roles of a team: The middle range physical attacker: Millwood The speedy agile assassin: Crow The specialised duel wield knight: Ringed And the Big tank: Herald NGL would love to see this team against all the bosses
You just outed yourself as a person who never does tank builds. Wearing "fat armor" is not a meme. Back before Dark Souls 3 wearing heavy armor was a lot more useful (in Dark Souls 1 AND Dark Souls 2). But yeah, minus the meme stuff about the heavy armor guy, this is pretty spot on.
I'd like to think that the Herald knight wasn't smashing the ground to make sure he's dead, but instead he was smashing the ground out of anger for losing his dear friends
Man, this tells a story. Especially when all the knights think they won, but the corvian knight stays behind because he notices something's off... Amazing. Felt like the end of a long running DnD campaign (which, that would've been like 27 rounds of combat, so I hope the PC's felt like they got their money's worth on that one!)
They lost Bird Man Spink, and Old Captain Millwood finally fought his last fight, but Private Fatbody and Lance Corporal Ringer will carry on in their memory.
I really love the start of phase 2. The 4 knights fought with their full strength and the old man finally fell wounded to his knees. He was a worthy foe but, alas, no match for them. They turn around to walk away but fueled by sheer determination Gael rises. In furious silence he grips his sword firmly before standing up straight. The Corvian Knight realises their mistake but it's too late, as he turns around he sees him; not the pitiful wretch they just felled but a true warrior of legend. A barrage of crossbow bolts strike them as the music swells and the Corvian Knight mounts a desperate charge. The Corvian is no match for the Slave Knight, now radiating with the strange powers of the Dark Soul, but his charge was enough to alert the others. Finally the battle at time's end can begin in earnest.
@@kiroto2358 i'd do the same thing, sit back and watch while the assassin wrecks gael, that arena is the chillest place in the game excluding the painting
Damn Gael launching into the sky and coming down in into the middle of them at 0:46 was amazing. Dark Souls has so many sweet animations and moves you don't get to appreciate because you're always getting out of the bloody way of them.
Harald Knight has insane poise damage on pretty much all attacks (notice how he stuns gale the most) and also has crazy attack poise. If not for him I doubt they would have stood a chance at winning.
This is like D&D if the party was all just melee with no clerics or pesky magic casters. Just 4 friends fighting a hard boss, no holding back. Loved this fight.
I had an Orc Barbarian...started lvl 1 with 15 armor class & 23 hp using 2 one handed axes that did 1d8 each... To a demi-god level 15 45 hp & 18 armor class using 'The Axe of Gruumsh' (the master of the table made it after I managed to kill gruumsh) The axe did 1d12 + 1d8 and had powers such as: Flying cuts which did 4d12 💀💀💀
It's like a squad of close warrior friends out of an indie movie that you'd see on Netflix or something, this was really entertaining to watch, something so basic as four different enemies paired together could have a backstory in itself.
Yes! Their team comp was pretty strong too. They got they range support with the chieftain, the tank with Harald the DPS with the ringed knight and their mid-ranged attacker with the corvian
@@VisionoftheChief *Acktually* they are not darkwraiths they are simply primordials Who came from the ringed city and forged their weapons from the Abyss to fight the dragons they just guard the city and the dark soul
@@CresttheCrestfallen I haven't done a lot of lore digging in DS3, but I remember reading somewhere that the Ringed Knights were "ascended" Dark Wraiths, hence the similaritiesin in their armor. They protect the Dark Soul now because the goal of the Dark Wraiths before was to gather all humanity to put back together the Dark Soul which was shattered. I could be wrong.
I find it crazy that Gael's phase 3 DPS is just so batshit that he *still* nearly won this -- the Harald and Ringed Knight were only 1 or 2 good hits away from death!
The bit where the Corvian knight gets launched during phase two is so brutal, not to mention the rest of the boys hadn't even noticed that he has a phase 2 yet
I can actually kind of imagine this as some kind of anime and this end up being the climactic end to the series. After a long journey these four friends finally are faced with their ultimate goal. And of course as such you have to have the heart-wrenching reality that not all for would survive. Anyone want to help throw into this idea cuz I kind of like the way it's sounding.
Yeah and they start their journey all bright eyed and bushy tailed and the before the climactic fight they are standing shoulder to shoulder like in the thumbnail and you see how battered and worn they have become and yet are still devoted to their goal; the Dark Soul of man and the promise of a new world. And then there is Gael feral and half crazed, one of the sole living creatures at the far end of time and their final obstacle.
The Ringed Knight is the reliable, strong but also kind of dim-witted protagonist. The Harold knight is the lovable comedic relief that joins the group mid-way that is actually fairly skilled if you look past his role as the funny guy, and usually gets the short end of the stick. The Millwood Chieftain is the oldest and most mature one of the group that has a tragic past he's moved on from, and the type that fans cry their eyes out when he dies. The last but not the least is the Corvian Rapier Knight that acts as the cool masked rival to The Ringed Knight and is cold to the group, but actually cares about them and gives his all to protect them at the very end.
Also, ua-cam.com/video/JZmYv5Ujh6Y/v-deo.html is their previous encounter from when they split off into 2 groups. They were defeated but Gael didn't realize they were dead and left.
The squad: Look. He's just an old geek, what can he possibly... Corvian Knight: Thrown around like a rag doll. Harald: Barely standing after an attack. Chieftain: Stand quite the distance from most of the attacks but still dead. Ringed Knight: Almost blown away in every single hit. Gael might be just an old dude but he's a powerful one.
The best part is the ringed knight seeing his friend being tossed in the air but being too far away to help, he immediately does his ranged attack to make Gael aggro on himself and stop beating the corvian knight
The x4 health bonus is actually the boon of friendship, forged in the fire and darkness they overcame in quest to face the mad knight at the end of their world.
This would actually be a really cool series or comic to see these 4 super cool knights going on adventures with each other and I’ve thought about how these guys meet each other the millwood knight and corvian knight meet in the painted world and maybe they get sent out in search of gael and the dark soul when the ashen one doesn’t show up and they eventually track gael down to the ringed city where they meet the harold and ringed knight might be kind of stupid but I just thought it would be cool
Kind of like how when the lords didn’t come to claim their throne the ashen one showed up but now the ashen hasn’t come to claim the dark soul so the four ultimate knights need to go get it themselves
I really did not expect that to be such an even match. I was expecting Gael to just abliterate them completely without even getting to his third stage.
@@sagecolvard9644 yea but he has higher dps than them so if the hp were normal there's high chance gael could've killed someone before entering his second phase and thus making the fight easier for him
1:19 Corvian: Guys. This is just phase 2. He's not done yet! Need a little help here! Ringed Knight: Sorry! Sorry. You would think I'd know better what with Gael and me sharing the arena and all.
Ought to be red-eyed millwood knight with the quakestone hammer, other than that this was wicked to watch. Props to Corvian rapier knight always first to get stuck in - and I think they have the lowest hp of the four (or is it ringed knight?) but didn’t do a bad job surviving that long. Love the vids bro
That Millwood knight is insane lmao, but the earth seeker weapon art double hit from the chieftain is probably the only reason they won, it was doing 10k a hit to him.
That Corvian Knight knew about the second phase. And with no support, held back one very VERY pissed off Knight as best he could. That's some guts. They're strewn across the battlefield now, but guts nonetheless
Just imagine the scene where the corv knight dies, and for s split second the fighting stops as all his friends look on I'm horror and sadness. Then they all instantly return to fighting, enraged and determined to avenge their fallen brother.
i imagine an entire speech in japanese from the corvian knight when phase 2 starts and his struggles in the 1v1 motivate the others to get up and help him again
@@Unikv Well its a fact... we're on youtube, comments are thrown out and nobody has to ask, if that triggers you, cry a bit and put a thumbs down, then be your way
Let's be fair Cheitftan is in a awkward position among the four design wise, he doesn't have the guile and grace of the Corvian nor the sheer amount of defense of the Harald, all the while having a active fight style of a frontliner and is the second tallest of the squad. He can deal massive damage , just not built to last against adversity such as Gael
"On today's episode of Will IT BLENDDD?!!!, We've got a elderly Slavic man with a taste for fine art and an aged dark soul, so without further delays, let's put him in the blender!"
Much like how, in each cycle, there are four lords, there are also four knights of the age. The Ring Knight was the last of his brethren who, alongside the gods and their armies, fought the dragons till they were all but a simple myth. The dark sign branding his armor, some days it grew hard to remember when and where he had fought, and why. But a chance encounter at the end of the world, with a certain ashen being, awoke memories that he thought were long devoured by his hollowing. The Millwood Chieftain had grown dissatisfied with his life in the painting, the same fights, the same beings, the same speeches, over and over and over again. None could bring him challenge. Then, one day, a being came through the painting, carrying a sword that had seen wars end and dragons die. The chieftain stood to fight, but he felt something within himself, a stirring that rose in intensity as he fought, a glimmer returned to his eyes he did not know he had lost. He felt challenged again. The strange being, using a trick with a small leather shield, had beaten him, but did not kill him. Instead it continued to wander through the painting until it lit the painting afire, and opened a way. The chieftain, not wanting to stay any longer in the painting, took that way, and ended up, at the end of the world. (1/2)
(2/2) The Corvian Knight, a devout follower of sister Friede, sat among the flames that spread through the painting, he had failed in his mission to prevent the embers of a new age from setting their home alight. However the more he pondered upon this, the stranger his sadness felt, why did he feel sad? Why did he feel upset at the molded and rotting parts of the painting burning away? This hadn’t been a home in the end, it was a place to guard yes, but never for him was it a home. He began wandering the painting, until he came to the church where friede once preached and guarded. And there he heard the gentle drops of paint, the brush on canvas, the hand rubbing it lightly as if to remove a mark it wasn’t pleased with. It leapt to the top of the church, in the attic. There it beheld the painting child, and heard her promise, the promise of a good home, in a painting with no need of flame. It devoted itself to a new belief that day, the belief that the painting child could truly, honestly, make a new home for them all, especially him. Then it heard a rushing, a stomping of boots down below. It witnessed, just in time, a Millwood knight running down where the flames grew and spat, to a bonfire. He followed the knight, with home in its head and heart. The Legionnaire who was once apart of the Harald Knights was…unique among its brothers and sisters in arms. Instead of fighting or succumbing to the abyss that swallowed them, he went along the swirling tendrils and floating masses of humanity, it did what many could never manage, she understood the abyss. While his brothers and sisters in arms patrolled, she sat, thinking, pondering, wondering at what it had learned from the abyss. They no longer had any needs. However this was not to say they did not feel desire, for one day she beheld two warriors, one with a rapier at their hip, and the other a grand axe on their back. They felt a sense of intrigue pull him towards the two, with their sword on their back. When she showed the two he wasn’t hostile, they inquired what had pulled them to the ring city. It was then they listened to the tale of the two, of how one sought challenge while another sought the blood of the dark soul. They talked for a long time, long enough for the night to turn to day, and as the first slivers of light shone on the ring city, The Knight decided it wanted to see how the story of these two ended. Not knowing it was being dragged into a much stranger tale.
Could be interesting, although I expect the Forlorn to have some trouble with all the knockback the Pursuer is dishing out. Supposing that it's not the first area Pursuer vs a late game Forlorn, I'd give this one to the Pursuer.
@@yourassk1n6 the forlorn would get their asses handed to them. there are so many phantoms in ds2, even if you don't count the summons and the non-human dark spirits.
The corvian tanking the hits when he was alive, the chieftain doing a heavy stagger damage, the ringed knight doing the damage and the harald being the second tank at the end That’s some team work right there
You gotta love how diverse the enemies in DS3 are. They have better AI than any teammate AI I've ever seen, can you imagine them on your side? It would already be better than D&D Dark Alliance
I love how Four Knights of DS3 represent a good deal of the PvP community. We have: Dexterity edgelord in a cape, a STRONK boi with an off META weapon, Anime-flips sword guy, and some meme lord wearing one of the fat armours.
That was... a LOT closer than I thought it'd be... Honestly, when I saw just how Gael was being surrounded and staggered on all sides, I thought he was going to get steamrolled. But then, phase 2 came rolling around. As did all of his crazy elemental shenaniganary. Alas, he still lost... but _just barely_ so. He took two of the enemies down with him and nearly killed the other two, knocking them down to slivers of HP. I bet if there was a round 2, he'd actually have a chance of winning. Side note: I'm distinctly reminded of a low-mid level DnD party facing a high level enemy with maxed player levels. Rough, but doable... just barely.
Now I wanna see these 4 against 4 of the toughest knights in the base game Ringed Knight, Millwood Chieftain, Corvian Rapier Knight, Harald Legion Knight VS. Cathedral Knight, Black Knight, Silver Knight, Boreal Outrider Knight
This is so cool... it's like in a movie or something, where four old hermit mentors who are actually old heroes joined up to fight against the antagonist
Second phase after realizing hes not dead - corvian not only goes in but distracts Gaels front so that ringed knight can shoot a flare at his back.. Gael doesnt even fucking move/ I imagine the ringed knight went: "Really old man? Not even a budge?"
before making it to the dlcs, i saw this thumbnail and i thougth those four guys were a badass group of 4 minibosess you needed to kill as a sidequest or something
You can tell the Corvian knight is the one who travelled the lands to gather these knights. He fights Gael like he has a vendetta.
Corvian knights are loyal to friede iirc, and Gael with the help of the player brought fire to Ariandel, the thing friede was trying to stop, so it makes sense he wants payback for his lady, he's a malformed sickly crow knight, but a knight nonetheless.
@@Psychosomatic63 I believe they all actually have reasons to fight
The Milwood Chief probably got told who burned the world and got pissed off as well
The Harold Legion probably hears from the others who’s helping the Ashen One and what they plan to do so he agreed to help the others
And the Last Ring Knight was discovered in the ashes and thinks Gael was entirely responsible so he agreed to help too
nah the Corvian Knight just told the others Gael was talking shit bout their moms.

And of course as such you have to have the heart-wrenching reality that not all for would survive. Anyone want to help throw into this idea cuz I kind of like the way it's sounding.
Yeah and they start their journey all bright eyed and bushy tailed and the before the climactic fight they are standing shoulder to shoulder like in the thumbnail and you see how battered and worn they have become and yet are still devoted to their goal; the Dark Soul of man and the promise of a new world. And then there is Gael feral and half crazed, one of the sole living creatures at the far end of time and their final obstacle.
The Ringed Knight is the reliable, strong but also kind of dim-witted protagonist. The Harold knight is the lovable comedic relief that joins the group mid-way that is actually fairly skilled if you look past his role as the funny guy, and usually gets the short end of the stick. The Millwood Chieftain is the oldest and most mature one of the group that has a tragic past he's moved on from, and the type that fans cry their eyes out when he dies. The last but not the least is the Corvian Rapier Knight that acts as the cool masked rival to The Ringed Knight and is cold to the group, but actually cares about them and gives his all to protect them at the very end.
Also, ua-cam.com/video/JZmYv5Ujh6Y/v-deo.html is their previous encounter from when they split off into 2 groups. They were defeated but Gael didn't realize they were dead and left.
This is slowly coming together and I love it
Not to mention Gael getting EOE Asuka'ed at the end
Fitting that the two knights at world's end survived
The squad: Look. He's just an old geek, what can he possibly...
Corvian Knight: Thrown around like a rag doll.
Harald: Barely standing after an attack.
Chieftain: Stand quite the distance from most of the attacks but still dead.
Ringed Knight: Almost blown away in every single hit.
Gael might be just an old dude but he's a powerful one.
Well he did ate a dark soul
@@lunatic-k5209 alot of them
other three knights: walking away after knocking Gael to second phase
Corvian knight : uhhhh....guys he's still moving! 1:18
Gotta love how the ringed guy is like "What? He's obviously dead, man, come, let's cele... HOLY SHIT!"
Ringed Knight: OH SHI-!
That's because the Corvian knight got aggroed by the crossbow
The best part is the ringed knight seeing his friend being tossed in the air but being too far away to help, he immediately does his ranged attack to make Gael aggro on himself and stop beating the corvian knight
I like how gael uses his mp5, basically saying "yo im still alive here"
So we all just gonna ignore how the Corvian Knight jumped over that attack in a stylish manner at 1:35
My boi is the Mc
He was playing elden ring
Gotta say, that fight was very "anime"
The game itself is anime af later on
@@Neirean but that's the final boss what later is there
Beserk?
@@thedarkestsoulva9204 Gael is Old Man Guts
Poor Gael thought they will come one by one like normal anime rules imply. He just got ganked instead
The x4 health bonus is actually the boon of friendship, forged in the fire and darkness they overcame in quest to face the mad knight at the end of their world.
This would actually be a really cool series or comic to see these 4 super cool knights going on adventures with each other and I’ve thought about how these guys meet each other the millwood knight and corvian knight meet in the painted world and maybe they get sent out in search of gael and the dark soul when the ashen one doesn’t show up and they eventually track gael down to the ringed city where they meet the harold and ringed knight might be kind of stupid but I just thought it would be cool
Kind of like how when the lords didn’t come to claim their throne the ashen one showed up but now the ashen hasn’t come to claim the dark soul so the four ultimate knights need to go get it themselves
And then the Ringed Knight and the Harald Knight have to tragically fight for the Dark Soul, because their ultimate goals differ.
It actually sounds like a solid idea.
Full stops pls
@@TheGreenDevelop what?
Now I can only imagine these four as like a band of roaming knights. Just the thought is so damn cool!
I really did not expect that to be such an even match. I was expecting Gael to just abliterate them completely without even getting to his third stage.
Pretty much what would've happened without the health boost
Holy shit, Gael is a beast. That was so close I though he was actually going to win. And the others had x4 hp!
Gael also had times 4 HP.
@@sagecolvard9644 yea but he has higher dps than them so if the hp were normal there's high chance gael could've killed someone before entering his second phase and thus making the fight easier for him
1:19
Corvian: Guys. This is just phase 2. He's not done yet! Need a little help here!
Ringed Knight: Sorry! Sorry. You would think I'd know better what with Gael and me sharing the arena and all.
I'm sure if Gael could have managed to kill the Corvian right there and then he would have won the whole battle.
That’s what I noticed too-
2:30
Harold Knight:HE MOVED!!!
Ring knight: stop stop he's already dead
Ought to be red-eyed millwood knight with the quakestone hammer, other than that this was wicked to watch. Props to Corvian rapier knight always first to get stuck in - and I think they have the lowest hp of the four (or is it ringed knight?) but didn’t do a bad job surviving that long. Love the vids bro
That Millwood knight is insane lmao, but the earth seeker weapon art double hit from the chieftain is probably the only reason they won, it was doing 10k a hit to him.
This squad has the energy of an 80s or 90s action movie, you've even got the big fat bruiser of a Harald Knight for a bit of comic relief
These guys are like the new 4 knights of Gwyn in a way. Absolutely EPIC!
This is like an MMO raid boss. The rogue, the warrior, the tank, and the chad dual wielder
The group still needs a healer, but it probably wouldn't survive long against Gael sadly.
@@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce Millwood brought mead healing lul
This really should have been best of 3 or something. It was so close at the end!
And it was actually badass
Concordo Gael matou 2 de 4, e ainda quase matou os dois últimos kkk
Yes, we need a rematch
To be honest, even if it was a best of 3 and Gael won the other 2 , the mobs are the winners in my eyes
I guess Bonfire did this battle several times and it's likely in all/the vast majority Gael lost, that's why there was no rematch.
These type of videos really make appreciate Fromsoftware's character designs. They all look so sick.
Any chance for an HD version of the thumbnail? It looks so metal!
For real, I’d love that too
Would absolutely love this as a background.
It'd be a great background! I want it as well
Hopefully someone does
This man asking the important questions
That Corvian Knight knew about the second phase. And with no support, held back one very VERY pissed off Knight as best he could. That's some guts. They're strewn across the battlefield now, but guts nonetheless
The best fight i’ve ever seen
The team had surprisingly good diversity in types which I believe helped them win
Millwood Chieftain at 2:06: "Victory or Sovngaaard!"
Is this a Skyrim reference?
@@nobodycares99 yea
RIP Millwood Chieftain. He was the coolest of them all imo.
@@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce he's totally badass, with beard and all.
Thumbnail looks like hype af album art
This was great
A manga/anime with these characters would be sick
ringed knight and Herald knight at the end: "welcome to the ringed city motherf**ker"
A battle for the ages.
Okay simp with simp
1:20 The Last Ringed Knight: "Well, I'm going, take care🚶"
Can someone please animate this fight? Theres so many cinematic moments.
Just imagine the scene where the corv knight dies, and for s split second the fighting stops as all his friends look on I'm horror and sadness. Then they all instantly return to fighting, enraged and determined to avenge their fallen brother.
i imagine an entire speech in japanese from the corvian knight when phase 2 starts and his struggles in the 1v1 motivate the others to get up and help him again
I really want these 4 to be in other fights, they're so cool
This is one of my favourites so far, epic
Man that Corvid Knight was fearless, didn’t hesitate to charge and face tank the crossbow bolts. Went out like a champ.
Corvian Knight really said "Come on! You apes wanna live forever?"
mvp for sure
Ringed knight : main mc
Millwood : the sensei
Corvian : the cool show-off friend
Hareld : the comedy one but still usefull in fight
well put together and dynamic cast of characters 😎
worthy of anime/manga! 😎
the only guy who kept fighting during the phase 2 is only rated as the cool show-off?
@@devilkera cool show off that gets shit done when needed.
It fit because most of the time Sensei and Show off/Rival die
Holy shit this was so epic, specifically 1:50 when the music syncs with Gael going berserk, so good
.... it always does, its his 3rd phase
@@s8theninjawarrior916 who asked

@@Unikv but now you know, complaining about knowing more is a dumb way of thinking, so stop being triggered for nothing
I think that this is my favourite piece of your content so far. I'd watch that team go against more bosses.
NOOOOOOOO MILLWOOD KNIGHT, MYYYYYY HOMIE!!!!!!!
Why must the coolest of them die?
xD
Milwood knight is so dam cool, I was rooting for him.
Atleast he was avenged
As Scruffy the Janitor would say, "The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long."
The Ringed Knight earns the coolest title for me.
Corvian Knight is my favorite.
Let's be fair Cheitftan is in a awkward position among the four design wise, he doesn't have the guile and grace of the Corvian nor the sheer amount of defense of the Harald, all the while having a active fight style of a frontliner and is the second tallest of the squad. He can deal massive damage , just not built to last against adversity such as Gael
The Last Ringed Knight is the OG of mob characters. Love him so much. He could literally be a reskinned boss character and I’d be happy
"On today's episode of Will IT BLENDDD?!!!, We've got a elderly Slavic man with a taste for fine art and an aged dark soul, so without further delays, let's put him in the blender!"
The Corvian Knight just jumping over Gael's sweep at 1:26 was hype as hell
When your neighbour (gale) hears music too loud again, you eventually have to bring in the bois
Much like how, in each cycle, there are four lords, there are also four knights of the age.
The Ring Knight was the last of his brethren who, alongside the gods and their armies, fought the dragons till they were all but a simple myth. The dark sign branding his armor, some days it grew hard to remember when and where he had fought, and why. But a chance encounter at the end of the world, with a certain ashen being, awoke memories that he thought were long devoured by his hollowing.
The Millwood Chieftain had grown dissatisfied with his life in the painting, the same fights, the same beings, the same speeches, over and over and over again. None could bring him challenge. Then, one day, a being came through the painting, carrying a sword that had seen wars end and dragons die. The chieftain stood to fight, but he felt something within himself, a stirring that rose in intensity as he fought, a glimmer returned to his eyes he did not know he had lost. He felt challenged again. The strange being, using a trick with a small leather shield, had beaten him, but did not kill him. Instead it continued to wander through the painting until it lit the painting afire, and opened a way. The chieftain, not wanting to stay any longer in the painting, took that way, and ended up, at the end of the world.
(1/2)
(2/2)
The Corvian Knight, a devout follower of sister Friede, sat among the flames that spread through the painting, he had failed in his mission to prevent the embers of a new age from setting their home alight. However the more he pondered upon this, the stranger his sadness felt, why did he feel sad? Why did he feel upset at the molded and rotting parts of the painting burning away? This hadn’t been a home in the end, it was a place to guard yes, but never for him was it a home. He began wandering the painting, until he came to the church where friede once preached and guarded. And there he heard the gentle drops of paint, the brush on canvas, the hand rubbing it lightly as if to remove a mark it wasn’t pleased with. It leapt to the top of the church, in the attic. There it beheld the painting child, and heard her promise, the promise of a good home, in a painting with no need of flame. It devoted itself to a new belief that day, the belief that the painting child could truly, honestly, make a new home for them all, especially him. Then it heard a rushing, a stomping of boots down below. It witnessed, just in time, a Millwood knight running down where the flames grew and spat, to a bonfire. He followed the knight, with home in its head and heart.
The Legionnaire who was once apart of the Harald Knights was…unique among its brothers and sisters in arms. Instead of fighting or succumbing to the abyss that swallowed them, he went along the swirling tendrils and floating masses of humanity, it did what many could never manage, she understood the abyss. While his brothers and sisters in arms patrolled, she sat, thinking, pondering, wondering at what it had learned from the abyss. They no longer had any needs. However this was not to say they did not feel desire, for one day she beheld two warriors, one with a rapier at their hip, and the other a grand axe on their back. They felt a sense of intrigue pull him towards the two, with their sword on their back. When she showed the two he wasn’t hostile, they inquired what had pulled them to the ring city. It was then they listened to the tale of the two, of how one sought challenge while another sought the blood of the dark soul. They talked for a long time, long enough for the night to turn to day, and as the first slivers of light shone on the ring city, The Knight decided it wanted to see how the story of these two ended. Not knowing it was being dragged into a much stranger tale.
Knights: Give up Gael, we are the survivors of our peoples.
Gael: And I am the survivor among you all!
Also Gael: Fucking Dies.
The thumbnail looks like the "Me and the boys" meme in Dark Souls style
Request:
*Pursuer(mini-boss) vs Forlorn(with scythe or sword)*
Could be interesting, although I expect the Forlorn to have some trouble with all the knockback the Pursuer is dishing out. Supposing that it's not the first area Pursuer vs a late game Forlorn, I'd give this one to the Pursuer.
All Forlorns vs All other fantoms
@@yourassk1n6 the forlorn would get their asses handed to them. there are so many phantoms in ds2, even if you don't count the summons and the non-human dark spirits.
The forlorn got no poise against him
@@watchfulwanderer6443 but there are also a lot of forlorn. maybe all dark spirits vs phantoms? Thomas can be on both teams
Strength builds to strength build: Square up, my good sir.
Corvian Knight: I am fast as fk boi!
Now we need *The Dark Knight*
sup
Oh shit, its him
Gael: Four of you against me, now it's a fair fight.
It's like all the protagonists of an anime facing the big bad in the final showdown.
The corvian tanking the hits when he was alive, the chieftain doing a heavy stagger damage, the ringed knight doing the damage and the harald being the second tank at the end
That’s some team work right there
YOOOOOO my boys pulled through at the last moment! truly a battle for the history books.
You gotta love how diverse the enemies in DS3 are. They have better AI than any teammate AI I've ever seen, can you imagine them on your side? It would already be better than D&D Dark Alliance
I love how Four Knights of DS3 represent a good deal of the PvP community.
We have: Dexterity edgelord in a cape, a STRONK boi with an off META weapon, Anime-flips sword guy, and some meme lord wearing one of the fat armours.
That was... a LOT closer than I thought it'd be...
Honestly, when I saw just how Gael was being surrounded and staggered on all sides, I thought he was going to get steamrolled.
But then, phase 2 came rolling around.
As did all of his crazy elemental shenaniganary.
Alas, he still lost... but _just barely_ so. He took two of the enemies down with him and nearly killed the other two, knocking them down to slivers of HP.
I bet if there was a round 2, he'd actually have a chance of winning.
Side note: I'm distinctly reminded of a low-mid level DnD party facing a high level enemy with maxed player levels. Rough, but doable... just barely.
Now I wanna see these 4 against 4 of the toughest knights in the base game
Ringed Knight, Millwood Chieftain, Corvian Rapier Knight, Harald Legion Knight
VS.
Cathedral Knight, Black Knight, Silver Knight, Boreal Outrider Knight
You're forgetting the Ascended Winged Knights those golden fatties are tough
@@blainedz absolutely
This is so cool... it's like in a movie or something, where four old hermit mentors who are actually old heroes joined up to fight against the antagonist
The way the last two walk off at the end feels scripted it looks so good
Second phase after realizing hes not dead - corvian not only goes in but distracts Gaels front so that ringed knight can shoot a flare at his back.. Gael doesnt even fucking move/ I imagine the ringed knight went: "Really old man? Not even a budge?"
When your DND party is only melee characters
but amplified to up to GRIMDARK awesomeness
I love the editing on this one
Man this one felt really cinematic
Your videos are becoming better and better, this shit was like a movie
Alternate title: 4 thicc boys stunlock and abuse old man
Corvian Knight isn't even that thicc
@@davidhong1934 Depends on your point of view.
@@davidhong1934 His damage numbers are pretty thick imo
before making it to the dlcs, i saw this thumbnail and i thougth those four guys were a badass group of 4 minibosess you needed to kill as a sidequest or something
Harald at the end: "DEAD DEAD DEAD"
I love how they where all walking away after Gael went into his second phase, like as if the fight was already over.
