The Most Heroic Characters of Souls Genre

How would you rank the heroes, and what additional characters would you add to the list?

Aside from Gael, I'm a massive simp for the Burnt Ivory King, fuck you Gwyn, this is what a god king should be.

I didn't know Gael was chill like that.

You forgot Sieglinde, who bested most areas of ds1 despite not being Undead, all just to save her father from himself, before having to kill him to save his leagacy.

I know having no dialogue fits Artorias better but I love his voice lines. He sounds so young and soft.

I hope bro puts the Cleanrot Knight that carried Malenia from Caelid all the way to the Haligtree

That ending with Artorias hit me so hard. The way the screen got darker and darker as he was being consumed by the dark😭

It's my Headcanon that Artorius' soul, whether you use it or give it away, empowers you to fight Manus, and that Artorius' soul forms a sort of Aura around you (yes almost like a Stand) to give you that extra little umph you need to beat Manus. Also, can we just appreciate how much of a bada** Ivory King is? The literal definition of "they had to jump me to have a chance" in every single situation. Oh, you're a shard of pure evil that corrupts everything? Here's unconditional love and support. Oh, you're a decades old evil that gods were scared of? Square up. Oh, I'm slowly losing my strength while this chaotic evil is getting stronger? You don't come out until I say so.

The Most Heroic Characters of Souls Genre Fume Knight: Hm??? Must be a wind.

Sir alonne is goated

Honestly thses characters are more heroic than the player character at times

You didn't need to hit me in the heart with the unused Artorias dialogue. That was unecessary. Now I gotta wipe my tears. Also, I think the Ivory King is the most heroic character in Fromsoft, built his kingdom ontop of hell itself, and his throne room stood at its gates just so that he could be the very first line of defense against chaos. He was both kind to his people and always led the charge in battle, even sacrificing himself to save the kingdom and fighting to the last against chaos, and actually winning even if his soul was ultimately consumed. In a world of false prophecies, greed, and lies, the Ivory King stands above it all as the greatest hero.

mans forgot Radahn learning gravity magic just to ride his horsey and save the entire fking world from aliens riding comets

I'm going to die on this hill but ivory king is by far one of the best characters ever presented by fromsoft, literal hero with immense power capable of defeating characters like nameless king or soul of cinder ( by lore)

Siegward of Catarina will always be, not just my favorite onion, but hero of the DS series. An unkindled who's name apparently means guardian, he goes about protecting people, being a light of cheer in the most depressing of the three Dark Souls, and NOT ONLY befriending the lone giant Yhorm, but keeping his promise to slay him when he loses his senses! He is, by his own words he uses for you, a true friend. His valor and cheer will always be my favorite, and watching him charge in against a demon, or walk right up to Yhorm with his vow, will always show me his true, heroic spirit! Long may the sun shine!! 🍻

The Ivory King is such a W husband

Black Iron Tarkus. Only the fall could fell him.

I believe Soldier of godrick needs no introduction.

The most heroic souls character is John darksoul

Bit of misinfo, Gael went hollow upon realizing he had the dark soul. Hence how in his second phase he takes more damage from fire and the hollowslayer greatsword
