The Journey Concludes ...
Straight after the second game , Dark Souls III is installed and quickly start making my way through the first area... Game feels much smoother, sounds much better and my god the visuals are breathtaking, i feel its like seeing for the first time, like now i am properly seeing and what i did before was just preparing myself for this visual masterpiece... Not long ahead Gundyr and the first Boss fight starts ... and it feels amazing , feels like home... The excitement for what is to come fills my heart and makes me eager to progress, impatient to see and experience as much as possible as soon as possible. Lothric Walls, Undead Settlement, Road of Sacrifices , my screenshot library filling faster that the enemies falling from my blade. Exploring every corner, reading every item description, enjoying the view, talking to every NPC , enjoying myself and savoring as much as possible because of the forthcoming unavoidable end of the franchise that limbs closer with every inch of progress i make... And then memories also start kicking in from every single familiar thing ... Solaire, Andre, Siegmeyer, Black Knights, Anor Londo, Silver Knights, Gwyndolin, Artorias, Sif, no chest ahead, Earthen Peak, Dragonslayer ... Memories bringing me back to the previous games, my struggles but also most importantly all their amazing moments too. I will miss these games, i will miss the excitement for the unknown adventures lying ahead... Keep progressing and i see slowly the game preparing me for its end, arcs finishing, plots wrapping up and not long before, i find myself at Archdragon Peak ringing an ominous bell... Cutscene and then one of the most epic, if not the most epic, intro of every Boss, Nameless King, the firstborn himself riding on a dragon... The fight might have been difficult , but i dont want to finish it, i can feel that the end is near... Doing my duty and overcoming him, predicting that the final boss is next, i decide i should start the DLCs ... Snowy struggles and constant test of my skills keeps reminding me that the game still has more to offer and some more left in it to challenge me with... Friede and her father's arc shows me the power love holds, no matter the circumstances... Midir reminds me of Kalameet and the git gud philosophy for one last time... Gael, now freed after our encounter, shows me what i have to do, bring a closure to the game and its story, finish what he started...And there i stand , in front of that breathtaking Dark Sign, with the experience of the whole franchise behind me, pushing me forward for one last time, against all those that came before me, against Gwyn and against my own past selves... The fight, as befitting to its importance amazing, the soundtrack behind it giving everything it got and making me understand how high the stakes are and ultimately prepare myself for my time without Dark Souls in it anymore... And then its just me and the Dark Sign, alone in a world of ash thinking back on everything i achieved, wanting to forget everything so i can relieve them and above all feeling proud... what some might find it silly, me finding it a life lesson... When i started the trilogy i was in need of some strength and courage irl... and i feel that these games helped me towards that , so not only i thank them for their gameplay and plot, but for also the lessons that they reminded me, courage - persistance - patience and so many more... I cant recommend this trilogy as much as it deserves and still cant thank myself enough i chose to experience this journey...
Thank you to FromSoftware, to Mr Miyazaki, to Bandai Namco and all the people that helped alongside this journey, the comments, the messages - even the bloodstains... I really hope Bloodborne and Demon Souls come to PC one day, if they do i will be there ... Solaire , i finally found my sun ...
Dont give up skeletons, dont dare go hollow, but keep pushing forward, one more area, one more opponent, one more bonfire ... Because such is our fate ...
Praised be the Sun

Storyline

Set in the Kingdom of Lothric, a bell has rung to signal that the First Flame, responsible for maintaining the Age of Fire, is dying out. As has happened many times before, the coming of the Age of Dark produces the undead: cursed beings that rise after death. The Age of Fire can be prolonged by linking the fire, a ritual in which great lords and heroes sacrifice their souls to rekindle the First Flame. However, Prince Lothric, the chosen linker for this age, abandoned his duty and decided to watch the flame die from afar. The bell is the last hope for the Age of Fire, resurrecting previous Lords of Cinder (heroes who linked the flame in past ages) to attempt to link the fire again; however, all but one Lord shirk their duty. Meanwhile, Sulyvahn, a sorcerer from the Painted World of Ariandel, wrongfully proclaims himself Pontiff and seizes power over Irithyll of the Boreal Valley and the returning Anor Londo cathedral from Dark Souls as a tyrant. The Ashen One, an Undead who failed to become a Lord of Cinder and thus called an Unkindled, rises and must link the fire by returning Prince Lothric and the defiant Lords of Cinder to their thrones in Firelink Shrine. The Lords include the Abyss Watchers, a legion of warriors sworn by the Old Wolf's Blood which linked their souls into one to protect the land from the Abyss and ultimately locked in an endless battle between each other; Yhorm the Giant, who sacrificed his life for a nation conquered by his ancestor; and Aldrich, who became a Lord of Cinder despite his ravenous appetite for both men and gods. Lothric was raised to link the First Flame but neglected his duties and chose to watch the fire fade instead. Once the Ashen One succeeds in returning Lothric and the Lords of Cinder to their thrones, they travel to the ruins of the Kiln of the First Flame. There, they encounter the Soul of Cinder, an amalgamation of all the former Lords of Cinder. Upon defeat, the player can attempt to link the fire or access three other optional endings unlocked by the player's in-game decisions. These include summoning the Fire Keeper to extinguish the flame and begin an age of Dark or killing her in a sudden change of heart. A fourth ending consists of the Ashen One taking the flame for their own, becoming the Lord of Hollows.
