Miyazaki-san is the master of dark fantasy.

 

I want to fight this Malenia, blade of Miquella.

 

Elden Ring has great lore.

 

Malenia the Rot goddess is one of the best female characters of the Souls universe.  Beautiful, goddess-like but also horrifying at the same time.  This DLC is about her brother and she might return depending on what the developers have in mind.

^ it looks awesome. Maybe I'll wait until the DLC is out.

There is a (literal) easter egg in the base game that could be the portal to the DLC.  Like how in Ashes of Ariendal the player enters a Painting.

 

I'm thinking that the DLC is either after the base game or it's a prequel to it, like you go back in time or something.

@Cult Icon I never listen to this track (cause I didn't remember it as a great one when I played DS3), but I just did and I realized that it has Gwyn's theme incorporated in it.

Trust me it gets better. Episodes 4/5 are really good.

You can't? It must be blocked in the US, cause I can still see it. It's weird cause it's the composer's (Yuka Kitamura) official account.

 

The soundtrack is "Soul of Cinder" and there's a transition (that starts at 2:16) to a mix of the first part of the track and Gwyn's theme (aka plin plin plon). It seems to correspond to the 2nd part of the fight.

 

I didn't notice it when I played cause I didn't know Gwyn's theme at the time. Now I hear it very clearly, it's unmissable when you know Gwyn's theme.

 

I think it's beautiful.

[Enrico_sw]

You can hear it during the fight (if you can see this video). It starts around 2:30 on this video

Oh and now I see that he sends lightning like Gwyn in the intro cinematic of Dark souls 1!

 

I didn't know these references when I first played DS3.

 

Miyasaki is a real genius. Lots of subtle cross references in his games.

 

I understand why people spend hours trying to decipher the games.

Soul of Cinder | Dark Souls Wiki | Fandom

 

It makes sense that the song would be a throwback to DS 1.

 

The remarkable thing about Dark Souls Lore is that there are so many interesting ideas massed together, just very creative.

 

"Soul of Cinder is an amalgamation of previous Lords of Cinder such as Lord Gwyn and the Chosen Undead (assuming they survive and manages to link the flame in their world), and every other character who has ever linked the First Flame. This is confirmed by its Japanese name, Incarnation of Kings (王たちの化身, lit. Outachi no Keshin), as well as the description from the Soul of the Lords.[1] As such, it wields the combined abilities, weapons, and magic of its components, giving him tremendous power.

The Soul of Cinder's role as the deific manifestation of the previous Lords of Cinder is to defend the flame; as such, it acts as the final line of defense against the Ashen One when they arrive at the resting place of the First Flame."
