He’s available as an NPC summon for this fight if you kill the Sunlight Maggot before Solaire finds it by using the Chaos Servant shortcut in Lost Izalith, so he had to be given the stats and AI to actually deal with Gwyn
People from Astora are just objectively legends. The man who literally rescues you from the undead asylum, the first blacksmith you meet who is also a genuine person who wouldn’t “want to see you go hollow”, and Solaire, a man who needs no introduction.
Team Astora was probably my favorite one to watch. It seemed like a team, rather than a bunch of mindless npcs. Nevermind Solaire's involvement in the story...
Gwyn is weak to fire because he is a god, carrier of the lord soul of Light. There were four lord souls: Light, Dark, Life, and Death. They correspond to the elements of Lightning, Dark, Fire, and Poison/Toxic. The Lords are resistant to their own damage type and vulnerable to the others, but especially vulnerable to their opposite. Nito, for example, is very vulnerable to fire (life).
Pretty sure Gwyn is weak to fire which is quite ironic. I mean, big guy, final boss, big fiery sword, seems pretty obvious right. But ig Fromsoft was feeling generous.
It's even better when you consider that Petrus went forward first... and was generally trying to tank blows and attacks so the other two could attack freely.
Its like being invaded as a caster build. You cant hit a damned thing, you have no health, and the entire time the community is complaining about how OP magic is.
@@TheodoricFriede because u are not geared up for pvp. It's op when u invades with all the late game magic, but if u are doing a sorcerer play through and get invaded, that's a different thing.
@@TheodoricFriede At least in Dark Souls 2 sorcerers (meaning pure int builds using only blue/arcane sorceries) have a huge variety of spells to choose from and some are useful at getting enemies and other players to back off. In Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 you don't really have any AOE arcane sorceries to make enemies or other players back off so you can heal or just regain your composure.
It makes me profoundly happy that solo, Tarkus and Solaire did the best. Besides the Pyromancers slapping Gwyn around, I loved that Astors pulled through and Solaire’s AI decided to the the most poetic ‘finishers’ as Gwyn faded
Well, Gwyn was afraid of the flames of chaos. That's why he lead an army against the forces of Izaleth in an attempt to whipe out the demons that were born from the flames that were brought about by the witch and her daughters.
Came to say the same. With how fast he tried to nope out, I can't help but imagine that Bonfire's got 'em all in a line outside the fog wall and is just booting them through with a loud "NEXT!" whenever one dies.
My takeaways from this: There is a reason Gwyn is the god of this world Solaire is an absolute Chad worthy of demigod status The Onions make for a good team And fear the old Flame. By the gods, fear it!
Petrus almost immediately getting grabbed and exploded at the start of the Thorolund teamup while the others were barely touched was bloody gold, I love it.
Just a little earlier when Oscar takes Gwyns attention, Andre dropkicks him to stagger so Soalire gets a clean shot with his lightning bolt, that was poetry! If they kept that kind of thing up for the rest of fight Solaire might not have been the only survivor.
Interesting note I’ve never noticed until now The flame on Gwynn’s sword starts at his hand, not the blade. Explains why the player doesn’t get that effect
14:00 no matter how many videos i see, petrus incompetence never ceases to amaze me. Also team astora is my new canon for solaire history in darksouls. And im a bit sad that you didnt made a tarkus, havel and leroy combo
After watching Gwyn absolutely wreck everyone solo (maybe it's years of pent up aggression towards players who parry him), seeing our favorite Sunbro pick up the W along with Oscar and Andre was great!!! (Also, the fact that Soliare's lighting blot hit Gwyn as the Lord of Cinder's body vanished was the icing on the cake)
I appreciate that when the Thorolund clerics teamed up Gwyn still dunked Petrus first. Felt really special getting to see him absolutely shanked twice in one video.
The fact Solaire was the strongest among NPCs is heartwarming. I wonder how cool it would have been if Solaire canonically fought Gwyn and became the next Lord of Cinder. (Which can be canon if ya want, anyone can be the lord of cinder in any dark souls game and it would not alter the timeline as much as it is, the end would be the same for DS3)
It is canon (as canon as a souls game gets at least) though, in "solaire's timeline" after saving him he links the flame, that's why his summoning sign is even there
Developer interview from I think 2012: Miyazaki: Going back to Solaire, it's really a secret and I think that the happiest ending for him is to die by becoming the sun! Isomura: That's nice. Miyazaki: He's happy, he becomes the sun! Murohashi: Wait, I didn't understand well. So what exactly happens? Miyazaki: If you kill the red-eyed Sunlight Maggot, he can fight with you against the last boss. After that, he will link the fire in his own world.
@@evanlosey2204 Yeah, even Tarku- RIP mah boi. Even though technically timelines are a thing in Dark Souls as any other game universe, so he succedeed once, making everything more complicated with stagnation and all that stuff i'll never understand.
@@kaz7886 I think it's kind of like a frayed part of a rope, their all from the same rope but it's starting to unwind, so people have to link the fire to pull it back together again. But with the rope so frayed there are multiple fires, and thus multiple people needed to link it.
The fact he can't even use his own power is revealing of how empty the remnant of his soul is (in his body). Several pieces were given to others, a significant portion was used to sustain the magic of Undeath, and the remains burned in the First Flame. But of course, even a sliver of the ultimate soul is terrifying, and explains why he'll destroy you in a regular 1 on 1 melee. I think I'm gonna try and beat him without parrying to see if I can finally do it.

Honestly this was so beautiful and genuinely emotional for certain characters... Solaire easily could have been the chosen undead instead and it's fitting that he got closest on his own against Gwyn. Heart-wrenching to see Siegmeyer come so close to victory over Gwyn after watching him murder his daughter, only to fall short in the final moments of this last adventure... glad Solaire was able to best Gwyn in the end though, he deserves it.
Forget his full power, if he just actually used his Shield...y'know, that giant-ass, fire resistant thing he apparently lugs around purely for decoration. I guess he has to handicap himself to make it a fair fight.
This just shows that if everyone you met just decided to work together they could’ve easily dumpstered on everything in existence instead of making you do majority if not all the work
Gotta appreciate how Havel, with all his ludicrously heavy and defensive gear.. Still instead opts to successfully roll through Gwyn's initial jump attack.
nico of throuland actually managed to get a chip parry on the lord of cinders jumping attack. that would be significantly more impressive if he managed to get a single hit in
During the team-ups, Solaire ended it in the most epic ways. This battle deserves it’s own development. Three brave men of Astora, they looked like father and his two sons
Yeah that really sucked. I'm surprised at how little health he had/has. Also Leeroy's armor set gives a surprisingly low amount of poise, despite being heavy armor. I don't know the exact number but I've used his full set before and without the wolf ring a lot of enemies staggered me that I didn't expect to get staggered by.
I love how Jeremiah's first instinct is to run like "Oh wait is that Gwyn? Oh no. Nope. I'm not fighting him. Nuh uh. Just no,..wait. why isn't the fog letting me through? LET ME OUT!" And when he cannot run, he decides "Fuck it. Let's do this." And then just immediately gets wrecked, backs himself into a corner and then Tries to use a fire whip on the FIERY LORD OF CINDER. Like yeah. That'll totally work!
Give the onions another chance! They almost had him! Also shoutout to my boy Laurentius for coming out of a fight against Gwyn alive!! I'm so proud of you!
Damn, I miss when the NPC's had stats similar to players and followed the same rules as the player characters. I love dark souls 3 but some of the NPC's just have stats that cheat. Makes you feel cheated yourself to see unattainable endpoints.
Oh, thats not different in ds1. Tarkus for example has hp between 48-49 levels for us. You literally cant have exactly his hp. Not even with the tiny being ring. Thats because those npcs dont have levels and stats like us, the developers just have them stats.
Team Astora even makes sense...It was pretty much possible for Oscar to be the Chosen Undead in the main story, and then he would have been there with Solaire anyway at the end...I love how - based on this - he had the real chance to be the one
The fact that solaire can stand up to Gwyn simply because he's built different is inspiring
Built different, built.....TO PRAISE THE SUN!
"You have betrayed the sun!"
-Solaire, probably

This just shows that if everyone you met just decided to work together they could’ve easily dumpstered on everything in existence instead of making you do majority if not all the work
If everybody worked together the first one to get dumpstered would still have been Petrus. :D
11:31 When you're about to die, but you just can't get that tune out of your head.
15:48 ultra instinct.
Damn it Lautrec, you were meant to parry him, you even had the dagger. It could've been great
Gotta appreciate how Havel, with all his ludicrously heavy and defensive gear.. Still instead opts to successfully roll through Gwyn's initial jump attack.
"How's Ciaran doing?"
6:55
Gwyn: "Still hot."
10:13
"Check out my flame whip"
Gwyn: Shut up!
Prince Ricard, so easily forgotten...
3:25 bro.......tht was mesmerizing , he dodged tht soul spear point blank
5:14 im still proud of you, solaire.
"Ayo, I'm gonna use a healing miracle right next to the guy who inspired said miracle!"
nico of throuland actually managed to get a chip parry on the lord of cinders jumping attack.
that would be significantly more impressive if he managed to get a single hit in
I feel like Solaire could take him with any teammate. He just needs somebody to take the heat.
Jolly cooperation for a reason
haha... take the heat
You can really tell that Solair is the only NPC designed with this fight in mind.
Team Sorcerers: Witch Beatrice, Griggs, Logan
Ingward: Am I a Joke to you?
Actually yeah. :)
I was missing Team Heavy - Havel & Tarkus
During the team-ups, Solaire ended it in the most epic ways. This battle deserves it’s own development. Three brave men of Astora, they looked like father and his two sons
Creating lightning bolts and hitting Gwyn with it is absolute Chad moment by Solaire.
We are missing the misadventures team: Oscar,Solaire and Lautrec!
And their hijinks to get laid in a post hollow world LMAO
Take on me blaring in the background as they jump his ass
That onion bro run broke My heart xd I had a heart attack I am dead
congratulations to Petrus on the first and only perfect defeat, even the sorcerers managed to land a hit before going down
Andre just punching Gwyn and actually stunning him was the funniest shit
The fact that only "team of Astora" and "team Pyromancy" won, mean that chosen undead is either from Astora or is pyromancer
Or built different
Better yet, a pyromancer *from* Astora
SL1 bros represent
You're gonna love StLucyfer's stories on Archive of our Own.
Funny that I'm gonna make my first Dark Souls character a Pyromancer
Me: Don't worry guys Leeroy will take care of it!
Leeroy: *gets 2 shotted*
Me: What the f-
Yeah that really sucked. I'm surprised at how little health he had/has. Also Leeroy's armor set gives a surprisingly low amount of poise, despite being heavy armor. I don't know the exact number but I've used his full set before and without the wolf ring a lot of enemies staggered me that I didn't expect to get staggered by.
Gwyn knew he couldn't waste time with Leeroy
I thought similarly to Havel, but alas...
I love how Jeremiah's first instinct is to run like "Oh wait is that Gwyn? Oh no. Nope. I'm not fighting him. Nuh uh. Just no,..wait. why isn't the fog letting me through? LET ME OUT!"
And when he cannot run, he decides "Fuck it. Let's do this." And then just immediately gets wrecked, backs himself into a corner and then Tries to use a fire whip on the FIERY LORD OF CINDER. Like yeah. That'll totally work!
Isn't gwyn weak to fire? Did i hear wrong
@@duroorud527 No he's weak to fire that's true
It really puts into perspective just how special the chosen undead really was.
Tarkus with your fire resistance you REALLY disappoint me, Solaire you will be always the best buddy
Tarkus is supposed to help with an early game boss. It was impressive, If you think about it.
Give the onions another chance! They almost had him!
Also shoutout to my boy Laurentius for coming out of a fight against Gwyn alive!! I'm so proud of you!
How paper beats rock 8:29
Damn, I miss when the NPC's had stats similar to players and followed the same rules as the player characters. I love dark souls 3 but some of the NPC's just have stats that cheat. Makes you feel cheated yourself to see unattainable endpoints.
Oh, thats not different in ds1. Tarkus for example has hp between 48-49 levels for us. You literally cant have exactly his hp. Not even with the tiny being ring. Thats because those npcs dont have levels and stats like us, the developers just have them stats.
13:32 SO close to avenging his family. Damn it
:(
@@SiegwardofCatarina_ you figured the elevator yet?
@@kroh7742 yes I have my friend!
Can we get a petrus vs every enemy type? I'm genuinely curious to see if he could kill even a few of them
That would be very entertaining. Dude can't manage a single skeleton.
We got it!
@@blizzardregulus skeletons are beefy
@@blizzardregulus Imagine Petrus getting annihilated by 3 skeleton wheels.
Team Astora even makes sense...It was pretty much possible for Oscar to be the Chosen Undead in the main story, and then he would have been there with Solaire anyway at the end...I love how - based on this - he had the real chance to be the one
I love the little poke at 12:20 and then Gwyn just grabbing him and blowing him up.
