You talk about me an awful lot.. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you have feelings for me! Hah hah hah.
Holy shit that's the best comment I've ever seen.
Best comment ever! :D
Forgive me sunbro for i have sinned against you and failed to save thee from thy madness. :'c
This is golden, I love it when people do stuff like this, thanks for this :)

I think the true tragedy of Solaire was that he was desperately searching for a purpose, but his purpose was right in front of him this entire time: being everyone’s sunbro when they need it most
That was beautiful
\[T]/
When ever I’m in trouble he pulls up
1000th like
He can't see the sun because he is the sun and he can't be seen as the sun burns out the eyes on all who try to see the sun.
Saving Solaire was the best spent 30 humanity ever.
You can do it without spending the 30 humanity, allbeit while feeling horrible the entire time
If you attack Solaire right after the centipede fight, the game logic forces him to stay in the location of provoked hostility until your sins are absolved
This means that you can make him hostile, then go ahead and kill the sunlight maggots through the normal route before requesting absolution, and badabing hes alive without spending 30 humanity
@@luckylit4488 why feel horrible? You're hurting him to save him,which is something a good friend would do.
@@luckylit4488 But can you summon him against gwyn after doing that?
MrTerminator 645
Everyone only tells you the skip just skips the fire sage and centipede demon. They never mentioned that was the only way to save Solaire. I had to kill him because even though I had no intention of playing blind, everyone was still too cryptic.
Poison mist pyromancy through the shortcut also kills the maggot allowing you to save him for free
I think there's one overlooked facet of Solaire that adds so much to just how great he is that tragically never gets much consideration.
We all know Solaire helps you fight Gwyn in the end. That alone is pretty damn cool. However, think about the Centipede Demon fight. He has the Orange Charred Ring on during that fight. But the ring is your reward for beating the boss. It's already implied that he's a step ahead of you the whole time, so this pretty much confirms it.
That means this dude not only took out Gwyn, probably by himself (parry cheese aside, that's an impressive feat according to the lore), but, moments from touching the flame and linking the fire, this badass motherfucker stopped and remembered that he's still got one more thing to: step back outside, put down his summon sign, and wait for you to find it.
He put off saving his own world just to help make sure you saved yours. What an amazing guy.
xSilentZeroXx wow
When you put it like that u rite
Never thought of it like this lol
xSilentZeroXx lame theory
Not likely, if he had indeed defeated him prior to your arrival only one result could've played out, the flame is kindled and the undead curse is lifted, meaning your journey ends there and because once you leave, the age of man begins, Solaire, seeing all them primordial snakey kathe and em bois, would've just kindled the flame, thus boofin your ass like the black nights when Gwyn first the flame. Nevertheless Solaire is pretty cool, I only failed to save him once and I legit shed the one manly tear.
My Solaire theory:
He is a guy who likes the sun.
Aera Steele I thought he loved the moon
What if Solaire is actually just a roleplayer veteran dark souls player who gets stuck in your world but just tries to pass himself off as an NPC?
... Do you even praise the sun ???
He a Warrior of the Sunlight. A Covenant
Well at least now we know who's real Gwyn's son from DS 3
"Ah, you were by my side, all along.
My true mentor... my guiding sunlight..."
HellChuggapri1 We are born by the sunlight, made men by the sunlight, and undone by the sunlight. Fear the old sunlight.
Justin Duong
"Curse the Sun, his children too.
And their children, forever, true.
Curse here, curse there.
A curse for he, and she, why care.
A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea,
source of all greatness, all things that be.
Listen for the baneful chants.
Weep with them, as one in trance.
Curse the Sun, his children too.
And their children's children, forever, true."
HellChuggapri1 *crying and clapping intensifies*
...is that a joke? Bloodborne.
HellChuggapri1 old blood
Solaire was so focused on finding an actual sun that he never realised that he had already found his sun:
The player
Precisely
The sun was the friendship we made along the way
Perhaps what he searches is thy sun, but what if he... was someone’s own sun?
Son, not sun, apologies for the unpleasant confusion.
I cannot lie.....yep.
No, he's already my sun
I don’t know if anyone noticed but, when you summon Solaire of Astora for Gwyn, he’s not transparent like all of his other summons, meaning he came along himself for one last moment with the person who helped him through this entire journey.
what a detail *_*
This is deep.
Actually I believe that Myazaki stated that Solaire canonically links the fire when you save him.
Dam@@GilbertTheGilbertGuy
The Nameless King is just Solaire's mega evolution, obviously....
lol
is a Sun stone required?
Sun Stone while holding a Kings Rock
Sun Stone while holding a Dragon Scale after reaching minimum happiness.
No, Solaire is the first flame. Why? because he brings joy to everyone in this dark times
Solaire was disowned by Gwyn because he lost his favorite Van Halen mix tape.
+ReverendSyn and gwyn hated gwyndolin because his favorite album was dark side of the moon
"I'm actually a BOY!"
"NOT NOW, SWEETIE!!!"
+ReverendSyn Sir what about Seath?

***** *Gwynerear
I wish to some day meet this solaire, he seems like he would be a person I could have a nice toast with.
Well how do you do Onion knight of the legendary Catarina?
Bless thee
Siegward of Catarina dude not gonna lie when you committed Suicide in the 3 one I cried I’m even still wearing your helmet as a reminder if you
You should also meet siegmeyer, you can be assured that this knight won't mock your armor!
Man I cried when you died next to me in the Yhorm fight, no joke
It's so sad that Solaire, the man, who spend his whole life to finding a sun, gone mad in that dark deep shithole, where baerly one beem of light can seep.
Not if you save him!
@@Voyde And he links the fire on his own world as well, becoming his "own sun"
There is a path you can take for solaire avoid his demise but its not an easy path, would you take it ??
Me : Hell yeah *unseathing sword* tell me which way
His shield shines the sun in your eyes
Best 30 humanity a man could spend
I know it's just Solaire's armor, but that ending...
Squidfest right
That ending was deep.
The only thing needed that would have made it perfect was that when the view Pans away him that solaire do the praise the sun pose.
If you bring him with you to beat Gwyn. He links the flame in his world.
Wholesome ending
Solaire is my favorite character. Which is funny because the first time we met, he creeped me out and I was afraid he was going to trick me and stab me in the back.

Perfect comment
WELL IT ISNT TRUSTY PATCHES FOR NO REASON AFTER ALL ;)
9:26 I would cry if there was a custom cut scene where Solaire just praises the sun at the end as he burns.
no one can tell you he didnt do exactly that when he linked the fire in his world.
Solaire isn't a Satanist, though. He just likes the sun!
@@konfu_ion The sun is just jolly. Right lads!
I love that you can save him, but only from trial, error, and multiple playthroughs.
It's true that time is convoluted in Lordran.
First time playing this game he didnt die, but i dont know how i did it
@@xeox4280 sick
Nothing like solaire! In every other game you have partners that are extremely clever and powerful... and i got the dude that stares directly into the sun. Nice.
ahhh...praise be to thee.
newton stares directly to the sun too, just saying
Whom should need thy eyes when the oh so glorious sun is there to guide thee on thine holy duty?
Who needs eyes when you are there to guide me brother?
he's still better support than Donald in Kingdom Hearts tho
Solaire = a dark souls player
You start your journey with as much high hopes as you possibly can and by the end,the dark souls world inevitably makes you depress and beyond to the point of hollow.
Slockry It fits the lore well, the player's reaction: You're undead and yeah, you cannot die, but you may die so much that you give up and become hollow(quit the game). It's beautiful in itself.
DrSpunge Imagine if they made it so that if you quit your game somewhere out in the world (not by firelink, or majula) and then stopped playing for 6 months or a year or something, one of those random soul items would be created in that spot for other people to pick up? Like the way your stoned corpse exists for other people in DS1.
+pig potty I hope you know why it is wrong to use the term DS, although you did say DS1, but people still might be confused and think you are referring to Demon's Souls just say DkS1.
+MegaBeyblademaniac .PrimeMaterialDan its called context
this Prepare to Cry video needs a remastered version, cause we now know Solaire isn't Gwyn's firstborn
True, but here's what gets me....Solaire is supposed to be Gwyn's nephew.
In DS1 before it was finished a lot of content was cut.
There actually was a scene where Andre (blacksmith) moved the statue that lead to Gwyn's tomb.
Andre was Gwyn's brother and Solaire's father.
The epicnamebro channel use to talk about it back in the day.
Wait really? Who is it then?
@@johntelekom9712 the Nameless King.
@@NachoBearYeah but isnt one of the main theorys around solaire that he is the nameless king?
@@johntelekom9712 nah, Solaire is a different person, he is not the Nameless King. He was thought to be the Nameless King before DSIII, when, y'know, the actual Nameless King showed up.
God. Such a weird feeling with this character. New to the series, and I spent so long on that damn bridge demon. But to see this guy just chilling, almost calm while I'm still recovering from a fight was so... beautiful. I honestly don't know why, but I just felt better
Solaire: I'm looking for my very own Sun...
Chosen Undead: You're looking for your... little boy?
Solaire: No, I'm looking for that *points towards the sun
Chosen Undead: Uh... cool... wanna go tag team the centipede demon?

Of all the enemies in the game, I hate those little bastard Sunlight Maggots the most. Not for being any sort of challenge, which they're not. But for making me kill my favorite character!
at least there are these 2 things, 1. you can save Solaire (and probably will if you're a true sunbro) and 2. the maggots can be farmed for sunlight medals
shrimpboom8
The maggots are also pretty useful if you need to go through the Tomb and don't have enough Int to use the light spell.
oh yeah, but on my first playthrough I traded the sunlight maggot, at least there's the lantern
What?! You can save him? God dang it I just killed him
Matthew Noojin
You can, but it's rather obtuse. You need to join the Chaos Servants and feed 30 Humanity to the Lady before going to Lost Izalith. This allows you to access a backdoor path into lost Izalith that lets you skip 2 bosses. In this area you can kill all the Sunlight Maggots before they get to Solaire. Make sure you kill EVERY SINGLE ONE, though. If you leave a single one alive, Solaire is still doomed.
"For the Fire within Solaire, will burn the brightest of all."

Sooooooo the chosen undead?
@@givemethesauce1376 Well in his world he is the Chosen Undead in a way.
Solaire is by no means weak, in grand part thanks to his unbreakable faith
Stories like this are why I love the souls series, watching him slowly descend into madness slowly makes you descend into madness to, but then after you defeat him, you still carry on, and defeat the game feeling like you truly lost a friend.
Solaire will always be remembered as the ultimate ally. Kind, Brave, and could soak a shit ton of damage. pretty much every major boss fight he is their willing to join. And he never truly went hollow, the worm just made him go mad. He had his humanity to the very end. Praise the Sun!!!
and you cannot forget about the jolly cooperation he loves
Is a shame that his iconic armor (in my view the most iconic armor in the entire game) isn't in Dark Souls 2 :/ even though the Heide knights have similar design but just their helmets
Solaire might not be Gwyn's son. But he will always be my sunbro! \[T]/ RIP buddy

In Canon what did happened to solaire after dark souls 1?
@@lubesoggytoes7352 i don't know but you can see his sign in one boss in dark souls 3
Solaire
Sol Heir.
Idea. Solaire could indeed have been the firstborn son of Gwyn. Alongside the Chosen Undead he fought against the Dark. However, after they defeated Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, it was Solaire who rekindled the first flame, not the Chosen Undead. In this way, he reclaimed his divinity, and traveled to Archdragon Peak to become the Nameless King. This is why the sun still shines on Archdragon Peak long after it has been extinguished everywhere else.
*EDIT* Yes this idea was complete bollocks but watching people get all bothered was amusing.
Interesting theory.
There is no way he would 'gain' anything in rekindling the flame. Also he wouldnt be rekindling the flame instead of the nameless undead, in his world he is the chosen undead. I want him to be the lost son too
relighting the First Flame doesn't make you more powerful. It drains your power, your soul(s) to fuel the new Age of Fire. So Solaire is most likely not the Nameless King, meaning he is also most likely not Gywn's firstborn.
Instead he's like Oscar: the Chosen undead of another timeline. Except in Solaire's case, he can actually link the first flame (in his own timeline) thanks to your intervention
Well, the sword of the statue just ties everything together quite nicely, seeing he also only talks about the future and present, and never the probable forsaken past. Reincarnated as a mortal, turned undead so that he may redeem himself.
A chance for redemption and to continue the age.
Actually solaire is just solar in french
Solaire needs his own spin off game, movie, tv show, Netflix series, anime, comic series, animated short, whatever! I just need more solaire!
Theory time: My theory is that YOU, the player, are his sun. He doesn't know it because he thinks it can't be an undead/human. In one of the endings, you sacrifice yourself to light a bonfire that continues the Age of Fire for a while longer. You are the most powerful thing in the game when you kill Lord Gwyn, and you use that power to continue the Age of Fire, the Age of the Sun. Because of your sacrifice, Solaire becomes the most powerful thing in the world, and he has helped the Chosen Undead light a fire that continues the Age of Fire and reawakens the sun. Solaire has helped this warrior become the sun, and he is a part of it, for he has helped you become it.
Cool
Well, that can't be true because you are not the only undead who links the fire. It happens time and time again. And, you only killed a husk of Gwyn. The real Gwyn was hundreds, if not thousands, of times stronger.
Or it could be Gwyn, Smough, or siegmeyer.
None of the things you point out imply or support your theory, you would make a terrible scientist.
+miguel luna
I think you mean theorist, because science has nothing to do with it.
Everything kinda points towards Solaire being tje firstborn, but after DS3 we find out that's not the case. But I think this only makes Solaire even more awesome. He was no god of any sort, only a regular Undead, fighting his way through Lordran in order to find his own sun.
the firstborn of Gwin is the nameless king
@@aleksejvogric9354 It's actually Gwyn

The Nostalgia hits so hard
Best videogame character for me
The one true Prepare To Cry
artorias and sif:hold our swords
My favorite part of Solaire was if he stays alive to the very end, when you summon him in the Kiln of the first flame, he's not fully orange. He's himself, just with an orangish glow eminating around his body, showing that he's there to help you, in person.
I never noticed it before, but I think you're right!
I think this might have major implications for Dark Souls 2. It could mean that what will turn out to be the canon ending of Dark Souls 1 results in the Fire being re-linked again regardless of what the player chooses, because even if he/she chooses to walk away (i.e. the Dark Lord ending), it makes perfect sense for Solaire's character-profile that he would simply link the Fire himself. He dreamed of becoming "so grossly incandescent" as the sun, what better way to do that than to sacrifice himself to the First Flame? Not to mention how that would so fittingly represent him symbolically succeeding his father after all, assuming he really is Gwyn's son.
CognizantCheddar
Dark Souls 2 doesn't even take place in Lordran and has nothing to do with even the Gods of Lordran.
So what?
Regardless of what lands it takes place in, whether or not the Fire was re-kindled in the Kiln of the First Flame (and by whom) during the canon events of the first game is obviously going to be relevant in the events of the second game.
Anyway, you're making a completely baseless assumption that any gods related to Gwyn and Lordran won't have anything at all to do with Dark Souls 2.
What we DO know for a fact is that the reveal trailer clearly shows 1.) Anor Londo in the distance, 2.) a place that looks suspiciously like the Kiln of the First Flame, and 3.) a place that looks suspiciously like the Painted World of Ariamis.
So you might wanna rethink your baseless assumptions, bud. For all we know at this point, Dark Souls 2 is a journey back to Lordan, or even possibly a journey *away* from Lordran, with most of the game's events taking place in lands in between.
Now that you mention it Grimno, you're right. I never noticed that before and it does answer a few things.
CognizantCheddar Story takes place in the same world, but in a different land. They don't mention Astora, Lordran, or any of that. The story's based waaaay after the DkS1 storyline, you'd know that if you played the network test.
I love how DS3 blows solaires a god theory out of the water.
+Garrett Percell Why is that?
Do you have the game yet? Because I don't wanna really spoil anything else.
No I realise now, forgot about Nameless King, my bad. I beat the game yesterday for the first time :)
Okay dokay then. Worst boss in ds history by the way.
worst ? how so
7 years later and I still love this lore, praise solaire
Solaire is just another chosen undead like you. To me I think he's considered the cannon hero who saved Olacile and defeated Gwyn. if you want someone to be that instead of a nameless unknown hero.
Or actually he's just from a parallel world, we already actually travel to the past, so why not?
If only that last part where Solaire becomes the lord of sunlight was real... :(
it is. if you leave while he is in there, he actually will rekindle the flame and become his own sun.
Brendan Horn Obvious troll is obvious.
It's speculation, not trolling. If you save solaire you can summon him for the final boss. If you then chose the dark lord ending and leave the fire unkindled, it can be assumed that solaire will go ahead and light the first flame in your stead.
Swiggity Krinks But you made it sound like it is an official ending.
xavier welinder just logic ^_^ but nope, it's not official or anything.
I almost began to cry when I delivered the final backstab to Solaire in NG. Then in NG+ I made sure I saved him.
qsqua But did thou prepare to cry?
qsqua ALMOST?!
You have, like, no feels.
;-;
TrueDemonPictures No. That's why I turned into an emotional mess on the inside.
Jayden Benson
It's because I ha already turned hollow.
qsqua omg learn to parry scrub, backstabs are for noobs
They should have added a secret ending. Where if you saved Solaire from the sunlight maggots, summoned him for the Gwyn fight, he survived the fight, and you chose the Dark Lord ending you would have to fight Solaire as a final end game boss. It would make sense; Solaire also believes he is the chosen undead, so if you just didnt link the flame then he would. But you would have to beat him and become the true Dark Lord.
he lives in his own Lordran, its just that both of you can interact with one another since like Solaire said, time itself is convoluted in Lordran.
Maybe the real Sun is the friends we made along the way.

Solaire is the big celebrity of the entire Souls series.
I've been playing the first Dark Souls since release, on and off. Each time i come back to your channel. It's just too good
“Ahh you were here all along, my true mentor my guiding sunlight”
the Sacred Oath miracle from dark souls 3 says this,
"Miracle of those chosen by the Sunlight covenant.
Temporarily boosts attack and damage absorption for self and those in vicinity.
This is the tale of the Sun's firstborn, his faithful first knight, and the brave dragonslayer who served them both."
firstborn is nameless king and dragonslayer is probably ornstein. maybe solaire is the faithful first knight.
Ornstein is his first knight ;)
Read it again. Tale about 3 dudes. So, "and the brave dragonslayer who served them both." Ornstein did become solair's pawn as well.
Maurice Wiencke ornstein is the dragon slayer, not the first knight
Artorias is the first knight, Ornstein was the best dragonslayer.
Leo Ring's description: " [...] Ornstein was the first knight of the sun's eldest born, and his cross spear is said to have pierced scales made of stone." So Ornstein is the first knight and the Dragonslayer may be the wielder of Dragonslayer Armour Boss, which is an empty armor (different from Ornstein's) who had a dragonslayer within.
And this is why I saved solair from the sunlight maggot...sunbros stick together
I love the suboptimal mic in this video. The sharpened sounds really add to the narration IMO.
A jolly sunbro . Always ready to help people . But in the time of need , no one came to help this sunbro .
So.. In the end, Solaire died knowing his death would cause the sun to shine in Lordran once more?
That's actually kind of poignant.
im not sure what poignant means but it reminds me of that vid where some guy reads the misspellings of the word pregnant
Yes xD
You could say it was.... grossly incandescent.
And then we learn that linking the fire was delaying the natural order of the world
@@Ozubura That Aviators reference tho :D
Honest question, if you took the path that forced you to fight Solaire, how many of you went back to kill all the maggots while yelling furiously at them "Damn you! Damn you! Give me back my friend!" while crying true tears?
+Big Bang Sensei
They took away our jolly cooperation, so we engage in some jolly genocide XD. Of course, I prayed over Solaire's corpse before doing that.

"Gwyn has 3 children"

Filianore: Eh, I'm used to it.

One of your best videos, even after so many years, its just so good. Thank you for making this.
If you save Solaire at Izalith, he gets up to Gwyn before the Chosen Undead, and fails to defeat him. With his last bit of hope of finding his goal, plus knowing he'll be there, he leaves his summon sign as a final attempt, with the true Chosen Undead. Once you're both victorious, and you link the fire, it comes to his mind that it really was fate that brought them both together in Undead Burg, so you can both help each other reach the goals, even when his was misguided slightly; you were the sun he had been searching for the entire time, as the Fire of the World.
This comment stuck a stick of dynamite in my brain, lit it and... well, you know :P
Solaire, for the first time in his life, could not find the strength to fight. The arms that had hacked their way through everything from Hollows to Havel were frozen; the legs that had outrun a drake's flames would not propel him toward his foe. For when he looked into the charred, weary eyes of the husk that was no longer his father, he simply - couldn't.
Tears of grief and shame stinging his eyes, he drew upon the power of the Homeward miracle. He did not rise from the Lordvessel for a very long time. What to do? All the muscle and shining bolts of the former God of War were in vain. The despair, incredibly, was even more overpowering than what he had felt at...
At Lost Izalith.
And then he had it. For he remembered the one whose companionship, inherent and uncomplicated, shook him out of his gloom. To undertake the task alone and friendless was beyond mighty Solaire. He needed moral support. He needed a light to go by. He needed... jolly cooperation.
Damn they gave the baby a sword? Talk about bad parenting, i wasnt allowed use a knife till i was seven.
Don't judge my parents.
Swords are wonderful educational tools.. Be they harmed in the process of weilding it.. It will be an important lesson..

Love watching these old vids and see how far ur channel has come. Thank u
With the Remaster around the corner, can we get a remaster of these videos as well?
There are never happy endings in Lordran...maybe that's one of the reasons of why this game is so beautiful.It radically changes our perception of games and stories are and how much they can make us feel...Maybe that's one of the reasons of why this game shines like the Sun
Whoa, that's heavy.

I genuinely began to tear up when I found out I had to fight him, considering how kind and awesome he had been.
I started playing my first Dark Souls game in Dec 2019. I went and watched all your lore videos and of course hearing the audio difference between ds1 and ds3 lore It sort of made me happy to know that even if the community was small it was loved sincerely for many years.
But 3 years later, hearing the mic quality it just reminds me of all the fun and things i accomplished. It just sort of makes me sad to think i may never feel like that again for a long while...

@@FaizanShaikh02 I knew that already, it was the meaning that caught me off guard back then.
Solaire's presence absolutely _trivialises_ Gwyn, even if you suck at parrying. It's so simple to shift Gwyn's aggro to Solaire, and the sunbro is _just so amazingly powerful_ that Gwyn can barely scratch him, making it a piece of cake for me to peel the Lord of Cinder's exposed back open with my Lifehunt Scythe.
amazing how even 10 years later and with a way poorer mic, your content is still in prime quality, thank's for everything bro
Cant believe I've been watching this channel for 8 years. I remember the day this dropped and be so stoked that there was a way to save him because I could never find how.
You would think that Gwyn's beard would catch fire when using that sword of his...
He has been on fire for decades, his beard is most likely just strands of ash
1:05 the moment you realised that Solaire JUST got killed a second ago for the player to put on his armor and pretend to be him.
Or he was killed in the previous world, and this was NG+
Tasorius I choose to believe this one.
This channel is amazing and got me through so much. Thank you Vaati.
This is what made Vaati shine since his early days, calm and mysterious voice, perfect narrative, so cautious in every detail. You can tell the audio and video are sometimes choppy, but I think it makes it a sort of a vintage setting.
Solaire
Sol Heir
Sole Heir
OH SHIT D:
Dre Ruiz in portuguese, "Sol" means "Sun", so we could say that is "Sun Heir" :P
EXACTLY! :O
Fenryr 3001 ... YOO :O !
Dre Ruiz In french "solaire" simply means "solar", as in "associated with the Sun".
+Dre Ruiz (Dre2Dee2) Also Sol means sun in latin.
Be the man Solaire know you are.
+Breast Cancer Yoshi yes
+Punchy McHurtyfist Was that a Guerann Lagann reference (If I spelled that correctly, which I most likely didn't)?
I think the most amazing part about this video, is the fact that you were capable of getting solaire to have the final blow on Gwynn
Like it's really hard to see, but you can very clearly tell that when you block Gwynn's attack and he staggers from that, Solaire gets behind them and just shish kabobs him and it's beautiful
First time seeing this PTC 10 years later. It's wild seeing how much the quality of your videos has increased Vaati!
It was such a tragic moment to see him corrupted. I still remember it.
Solaire! ...no! That is not your sun! Don't attack me! :backstap: NOO!
"My sun is setting... it's....dark"
:salutes:
RIP Solaire
Praise... praise the sun... praise it god damn it!
Slevin Reviews RIP the Solaire we know and love!
Press "F" to pay respects
He sounded like he had a organism
Solaire got to be a sun.
Good to see someone achieved their dream in this game
I just finished my second play through of DS1, and I spent the entirety of it searching for and fighting alongside Solaire. He was my boi. I had no idea what would happen to him if you didn't kill the buggies, and my heart just absolutely SHATTERED when I had to kill him. Good night, sweet prince
Take up his armor and challenge bosses in jolly cooperation. It's the tribute he deserves.
Okay your channel is literally the best and you are awesome.
...ok Solaire, maybe a little too happy there... 5:56
Foulblood 11 like you have never had an orgasm from the incandescent sun.
Foulblood 11 Did you just... Fuck you.
Aranea Nox ...?
Foulblood 11
You ruined the moment. I was about to cri.
He just bust a nut at that moment
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Solair! ah ah ahhhh
champion of the sun
master of jolly cooperation
and friendship
for everyone
ZombryaTheDark DUDE! YOU ARE AWESOME!
Part of me wanted to keep the man Happy with his maggot illusion
It's better living your whole life as depressed
Living in a World of Darkness.
Does anyone else remember watching this when it first came out, even all these years later Solaire still has such a shining reputation in the franchise.
I listen to these at work thx for putting in all the effort I deff needed something like this to help pass the time
I just finished Dark Souls for the first time and I did regret summoning Solaire for the final fight, because it was too easy with him around. But now I regret nothing. It just got more epic thanks to this video.
Thank you.
how the hell did you manage to summon him on your first game
j roy You can summon him if you're human when you get to the Kiln
aracniphobia1 but he goes insane and you have to kill the little sun maggots and waste 30 humantiy in the chaos covnet
...then... bitch about it? you can save him so... whats the issue?
aracniphobia1 the issue is that saving him on your first play is highly improbable tough it is possible i dont belive anyone did it without a guide
Gwyn - Zeus
Solaire - Kratos
Daddy issues.
But Solaire isn't the first born.
***** **SPOILER ALERT FOR DARK SOULS 3**
The nameless king in DS3 is the first born.
"The Nameless King was once a dragon-slaying god of war, before he sacrificed everything to ally himself with the ancient dragons."
***** No problem. One does have to wonder why there is a statute of solaire in undead parish. Was he such a great knight in astora that Gwyn decided to honor him for some reason or what
***** We know that he was a knight. Whether he was good enough to get the elite knight set we don't know.
Don't discredit either of those four by doing that...
Oh man. Why can´t I give this a like again and again whenever I watch... It´s the best remainder to visit other worlds grossly incandescent and be a sunbro to those who put the joy in jolly cooperation.
I literally cried watching this!.... beautiful work my friend.
He was like the knight of my childhood. A kind and heroic knight who came out of the darkness to whisk me away from reality. He was really my binding in the entire game and every time I tried desperately to save my sun bro. In the end, when he finally became the first flame... I couldn't help but cry for 20 minutes.
TheWaluigiman1 There is no ending actually showing him becoming the first flame
- Daaad, i kinda lost the Annals of History
- Well son, i'm disappointed, but i still love you, dispite...
- ... And your Van Hallen Mix Tape...
- GET OUT!
turntechGodhead please enlight me with the sun, what's thtat reference?
Santy3071 Type 'Dark souls Animation' and you'll find it somewhere.
watch?v=M9x_koRZ2bA
This video was way better than the others, beside your charming voice its very useful and exciting to watch your videos full if you put some boss fights fully
"For the fire within solaire will burn the brightest of all" ok, i guess i'll cry now
Solaire was without doubt a bro above all others. Would really love to see a nod to him in DS3
He might be in it *spoilers* they put in Andre the blacksmith and onion bro
+megazion34 not the same onion bro though new guy is siegward old was siegmeyer
+The Dragnix maybe he gave himself a new name for his rebirth lol
megazion34 or maybe related?
The Dragnix theyd might aswell be clones there so much alike lol

Completely new to the series, this is like my 4th lore vid in and...the amount of martyrs....truly makes me happy. Really helps set the setting this is a dark world. Now if mangakas could only pick up on this kind of character development.
i made it to the end with my brave friend solaire. I try to told him that fire must fade, cause dark will come anyway, and so humanity has to face it, and we could guide them.
He disagree of course. He wasn't mad at me. He understood. Just as I understood his passion, his indomitable will to bring a light to the world, a sun he chased through dreams and a world, through his life, his undeath, and his death.
So i let accomplish his dreams and sacrifice in joy so that fire can remain. After our final farewell, i retreated through the dark with the great snakes. Here, immortal, i shall wait the final day when fire fades, when dark comes, to finally takes my place as the lord of dark, and guide humanity.
And I shall salutes the ashen one and his firekeeper, who finally accepted they could not save fire. So that, together, winner of legends, gods and monsters, can build this new world, whatever it will bring. Cause, from beginning to end, no matter how times we died, we persevere, and so can humanity.
And that, no matter how different our views, is a lesson my friend Solaire taught me.
(Just my personnal imaginations trying to reconnect the various endings of DS1 and DS3 without breaking everything. I just feel fine this way).
Dark Souls III DLC, you fight Solaire who has gone insane after getting skin cancer looking for his sun.
If only haha
Ouch
What DLC?
