So do we think Gwyn counts for a PREY SLAUGHTERED or a NIGHTMARE SLAIN, if we're applying Bloodborne terms to this? I'd argue the former but also I don't think there's anything in Dark Souls that could actually fit the probable definition of being a Great One, so, hm. All jokes and ramblings aside, congratulations! You beat Dark Souls :) that, my friend, is emphatically something to be proud of!
Hmm... well, lore-wise, I think Manus is probably closest of all the bosses to classifying as a Great One. Considering that Gwyn burned up when he linked the fire and it's just his husk that the player fights (if I understood the lore there right), though, and taking into account that his death can be either the beginning of a new age or the continuation of the old one, he might also be worthy of a NIGHTMARE SLAIN. 🤔 Thank you! 🌺 Playing this game has been such a blast, honestly. It's very much one of the main reasons why I ended up deciding to continue with Dark Souls 2 instead of Elden Ring. 😁
It was an absolute blast, definitely! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it. 😊 Ah, parrying - I really should have probably learned to use it more, but after discovering that backstabs were just as effective it... kinda slipped my mind as an option. 😅 I /will/ learn to parry more someday, though, at the latest when I reach Sekiro. 😁
thanks for the show, looking forward to more from From
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Just got to Gwyn too. good stuff
Gwyn was an interesting final boss, for sure. That said, my favourite boss in this game is handsdown Artorias. 😎😁
Good stream, it’s cool to see someone do a new play this long after. On the Gwyn fight he is very easy to parry by the way
