*The real threat is Garl Vinland. If you kill him without attacking Maiden Astraea, she will suicide when you speak to her. You can see how I fight him in the narrow choke point. It makes it difficult for him to swing the Bramd. Usually it does a ton of damage if it connects, but I suppose the narrowness of the ledge made it lack full power when it hit me.

I don't see anything tragic about either of them. They became disillusioned with their original mission and fell into despair, then became false idols for the people of the valley. Astraea offers no real help to them, other than a false comfort. There is nothing humble about her, just another demon accepting the souls that are offered to her. She's letting the people of the valley slaughter intruders in her name. Definitely the most vile of the demons. And then she has the audacity to act as if you are the bad guy for wanting her dead, as if she's in the right at all.

This battle still remains the most emotional among all the bosses of Soul games.

This is easily the greatest and most brilliant sequence in all of the Souls games, including Bloodborne. This was that one moment where From Software had the balls to unceremoniously crush any false sense of adventure, glory, and valiant heroics the player may have been feeling by revealing to them that they are a total asshole and are really no more noble or honorable than any of the savage monsters they have slaughtered. Boletaria is a dark, wretched, and miserable place to exist in, and From Software figured out the perfect way to drive that point home with this "boss fight".

You can tell how tired of all of it Garl and Astraea are. I mean, they're sitting in a bloody swamp. Garl's wearing heavy equipment, yet he treads through it. This is hardly a boss fight so much as it is an unexpected turn of events.

It doesn't matter how many times i get to this boss fight its still unnerving. Things in the Souls games are never cut and dry... I mean I feel like I'm the bad guy killing her knight and forcing her to off herself... then I look at those depraved worshipers and piles of empty armor that surely had bodies in them and I know: That woman is the darkest thing there. Even her boss theme is ominous...

Been a gamer for 25 years now, and I can say that this short scene is one of my all-time gaming highlights. Simple, but incredibly powerful dialogue with a lot of implications. Terrific voice-acting. Haunting, unconventional sountrack. Demons Souls is far from being a perfect game - Dark Souls is better in nearly every way - but this Scene... man, suddenly good and evil don´t seem to be so clearly divided after all. I absolutely love how you, the Player, after playing through a good part of the game, suddenly realize that maybe you are not the great hero you once thought. And this line... "Take your precious Demon Soul"... wow. Haunts me to this day. I felt downright dirty after completing this fight.

Now THIS is the correct way to record this fight; you managed to convey everything that is great about this encounter without needlessly showing off or missing out on dialogue. Excellent video.

Why does this give me feels? I haven't ever even played the game, nor do I know what's going on.

I really love the theme of "comfort in suffering", and this is one of the best executions. It's clear that Miyazaki loves it as well as it's also the theme of the Painted Worlds in Dark Souls. An empty cold world where the lost and the sinners go to find comfort in one another, they may even commit atrocities to protect this dark prison of comfort. It's a really grim theme and I still feel like Astrea and Garl are the perfect example of it because they're not as antagonistic as Sister Friede and Sir Vilhelm and we get to know them better than Priscilla.
