Warning: This blog contains major spoilers for all three games, so if you haven't played them and intend to, click away. I simply want to make clear I am not curtailed to this viewpoint. If the reader nonetheless wishes to disregard the ostensibly mistranslated material as non-canonical, that is their prerogative. The English translations are featured in officially licensed and published products, and are therefore acceptable as valid interpretations of the lore in my eyes, even if they diverge from the original Japanese text. Regardless, there is going to be wiggle room, and my final assessment of Gwyn will only be a rough approximation rather than an exact measurement.Ĭoncerning the source material, I am aware of the mistranslations in the English versions of the games, but I will not be dismissing them on that basis. Even though many of the conclusions drawn are simply my own subjective inferences, I will, nonetheless, attempt to reinforce them with evidence. Thus, I am accepting of skepticism and alternate takes on the lore, but I’d require more sound reasoning than what I have presented in the blog itself for me to actually change its contents.

This blog explores the true strength of the Great Lord Gwyn, the final boss of the original Dark Souls, back when he was still the Lord of Sunlight spoken of in the opening cinematic, eons before the Chosen Undead fights him in the game as a diminished Lord of Cinder.
