Dark Souls OST - Gwyn, Lord of Cinder - 20 min. Version

I made a 20 minute version of the theme of Gwyn. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

[elderevil]

Not a god or a king, just a scared old man, afraid of the darkness

[J_SubjectZeroYT]

This wasn’t a boss fight.

It was a mercy kill.

[ryan_]

There's something powerful about a final boss theme that isn't grandiose and epic, but sorrowful like this

[midknight]

You may be able to parry gywn, but you can not, and never will be able to parry the plin. plin. plon.

[foxdreemurr]

I must be the lord of cinder.

Because it burns when i piss.

[Humanoid]

When i finally entered gwyn's arena, there wasn't any build up at all, just straight up boss fight, no opening, hell, even the path towards him is so bare bones, just a bunch of knights blocking your path

[Ocaioplug]

this is not a music, this is a feeling

[Lmap-ixyx]

Feels like how a final boss music should be. No great build up just two last standing individuals fighting to the death.

[cjburrows]

this song had me crying. After playing through dark souls while going through depression the whole game is dark in nature but at the same time there is something so beautiful about the world. the idea of being one of the last people to be able to link the fire to try to save a dying world where others failed. being told by your allies to never give up and to never go hollow. It helped me that idea of not giving up. To keep fighting even when all the odds are stacked against you. To never go hollow to not give up to keep pushing your self no matter how many times you were killed our set back. And then getting to the last fight you meet the man that was rose up and killed a army of dragons the man that linked the fire. And he is at his weakest while you are at your strongest. and beating him and linking the fire showing that you never gave up. After all the trials and failures you made it to the end. And that is truly beautiful. So if you are going through rough times. Never give up. And never ever go hollow my friend.

[elijahfyffe]

After you beat O&S, you’re basically retiring all these old figures who can barely fight for themselves.

[baby-rog]

This got that "seeing dad cry" energy.

[gabrielsibajamendez]

There is very little left to say about this OST, but it may be one of the greatest in media history. This really captures the very feeling this game achieves, the stories of its heroes and gods, of its world. This piece *burns* that feeling into your *soul* 🖤

[kenesys]

I can't wait to play all 3 Dark Souls so I can understand stuff like this fully

[zombies]

A boss's theme can represents the boss themselves.

O&S Theme sounds loud and proud, yet imposing, much like the honorable Ornstein and the terrifying Smough.

Nito's theme sounds dark, ominous, which fits him well being the first of the dead, and you waking him up from his slumber, a Lord of the undead.

Taurus Demon theme is fast paced and menacing, being a demon of chaos it fits perfectly. And being one of the first bosses of the game(Presumably assuming you don't have master key)

and etc etc

Then you have Gwyn's theme...it's so simple...so depressing...it makes you feel sorrow yet also empty...which is exactly Gwyn himself. He's not the great king he once was...he's a simple "boss" fight that involves fighting you straight forward...no wacky mechanics...no multiple phases...just a one versus one clash...not to mention, he's went through the worst experience...he's turned hollow...he can't even think straight anymore, his mind and power eroded away...like the fading flame he did so much to preserve...even going as far as fueling the flame with his own soul. All to delay the upcoming darkness.

[GilbertTheGilbertGuy]

Why bandai namco take down the main one

[alve]

This, is a "Gwyn, Lord of Cinder" moment.

[Courser-ox]

plin plin plon. plan plon plin plin plon. plin plin plon. plan plon plin plin plon. plin plin plon. plan plon plin plin plon. plin plin plon. plan plon plin plin plon. plin plin plon. plan plon plin plin plon.

[KnightBallistic]

All gwyn had left was his army, and all they, him. He was their creator, protector and conqueror. Their god and all in between. They didn’t serve until the end out of loyalty, they served because they were scared. Little did they know…Gwyn was scared too.
