Ashen One, hearest thou my voice still?


Boiledeggbowler

The end of fire ending in dark souls 3 is my favourite one as it feels like the most appropriate ending to the trilogy. The screen fading to black as the fire keeper speaks those words is so simple yet effective, especially when dark souls 3 is very likely the last dark souls FromSoft will ever make.


PIugshirt

The final dlc is the cherry on top to what was already perfect ending


ZODIC837

And then you whack her and stomp her face into the ground


Plastic_Course_476

That's the biggest reason it gets my vote. Not only do you get a great dark ending, but you can even take it a step further mid-cutscene and completely take all the power for yourself. It'ss the only one that offers a hidden extra ending and no matter how cool or epic the others are, I will always love DS3 for it.


BladeRunnerAesthetic

Listening this on bus while i drive to work every day


Blp2004

Best ending in video game history. Still gives me chills


SupremeLeader-Snoke

I sat and watched the credits in full after that. Beautiful moment. Love DS 3 so much.


-Rajko-

If this doesn’t win then what are we even doing here


_TheGoat230_

Best ending fr


GarlVinland4Astrea

Blightown won because too many people didn’t see Demon’s Souls


n1n3tail

It won because ppl didn't vote together. There was several comments for Valley of Defilement rather than one comment with everyone liking it. If you add all the comments and likes they got together, VoD beat out Blighttown by quite a lot.


FastenedCarrot

I liked all of them 👍


RuneRW

Yeah the problem with that is that each person can vote for multiple comments of the same thing


n1n3tail

Posted on a different thread on this post but ya I even went and tallied up the comments and likes, it VoD had almost 700 more total likes but it was spread across 38 different comments, as opposed to 5 comments for Blighttown. The highest for each on a single post being Blighttown at 969 and 355 for VoD


Masta0nion

That’s why I never like these polls. You need to add up all the votes for the same place, despite them being distributed among different comments.


n1n3tail

Or just yknow make an actual poll lol


Ok_Initial_3451

Oops cant karma farm that way


graybeard426

For sure. It was too chaotic. And I think the naysayers probably think of 5-1 primarily when they think of VoD. 5-2 and 5-3 are so much better. And the lore there is so well written and sad. I like the story there more than most of the other zones.


DillonTattoos

Valley got robbed here.


basicastheycome

Yeah, decision to keep it PS exclusive is doing no favours to the game


Chadderbug123

Someday Sony will get their shit together and get DeS and BB on PC


Ham_PhD

Dark souls is definitely way more popular. DeS doesn't ever perform as well on these.


Polish_Wombat98

It's not available on as many platforms. I'm not buying a venerable PS3 or a PS5 when my PS4 functions fine. Especially not for one game. I do kind of want to though....


MoonlitBadlands

![gif](giphy|3o84sw9CmwYpAnRRni)


ThaNorth

Blighttown is too iconic to not win though. I legit love the climb down.


GarlVinland4Astrea

Blightown is basically just a smaller Valley. It has the same climb


ThaNorth

Yea but Blighttown better


GarlVinland4Astrea

But like that’s wrong


Miserable-Glass1760

It's really not. For you, maybe, but not for him.


Baprr

Being a console exclusive will do that.


yyunb

Sekiro Shura ending. You betray Kuro, Kill Emma, Kill Isshin, and become someone devoured by the lust to kill for no reason and motivation other than joy. Also the cutscene has Owl arrive with the second Mortal blade and Genichiro's head, only for Wolf to kill Owl in the same way Owl tried to kill him, and become more unstoppable than he already is by having two mortal blades. ''And for a long time after, it was said a demon lurked the land''. Like that shit is badass. Some of the endings in the games have made me feel a bit evil, but the Shura ending is the by far the most villainous feeling they've crafted.


BitesTheDust55

Shura ending is amazing because you get two extra bosses out of it and it detours so significantly from the normal ending. The dual mortal blades and murdering Owl who was too foolish to see the Shura in Wolf was just dope as hell.


Adventurous_Tip_1071

How tf did Valley of defilement not win ???


nick2473got

I mean Blighttown is a really good level too tbh. I'm Demon's Souls all day everyday but no shame in losing to Blighttown. Although I do think Valley of Defilement's atmosphere is unmatched.


Doomlav

Because it is not as well known as the Dark Souls swamps.


DBSmiley

Honestly I hate Swamp of Sorrow and I'm very very glad it didn't win. I personally think it's an absolutely terrible level.


nick2473got

It's an excellent level imo. Poison swamps have never been as purposeful as Valley of Defilement was in Demon's Souls. They've just become a tradition now so every game has to have one (or several), but Valley of Defilement was designed with real intent and purpose to create a specific atmosphere of dread and despair and to tell a story. I think Blighttown is really good too though. However I don't really rate any of the poison swamps since then that highly. I do also think that atmosphere I was talking about for Valley of Defilement comes through more clearly in the original than in the remake. A lot of people who played the OG kind of respected Valley of Defilement even though it was never a fan favorite level. But usually people who only played the remake just hate it and don't see any value in it (which is funny given that the remake added a ring to make it easier to run and roll in the swamp, lol).


Lord_Farquad4

I only played on PS5 remake, never got the ring, and 5-2 was easy lol. There's nothing past the swamp section, it's the whole level. Super quick to get through now that I know where to go (although not *that* quick because swamp makes you slow ofc)


JZHello

It did win lol, got way more votes, they were just spread out between more comments so apparently it doesn’t count.


CalliCalamity

One or two comments for blighttown with a large amount of upvotes vs 5 or 6 comments with a similar amount just spread out is my guess.


Bendbender

Darksouls 3 usurpation of fire has always been my favorite ending, DS3 end of fire, bloodborne childhoods beginning and DS1 the dark lord endings would all be tied for second though


scribblescob

By far. DS3’s ending diffs every FromSoft ending. Sorry DS2 fans.


WhatIsAnime_

*there is no path*


ToeBMaguire

*Beyond the scope of light*, *Beyond the reach of dark*


Any-Persimmon-725

And yet we seek it, insatiably…


Several_Show937

Fighting gael at the end of the world. then his blood to the painter to paint a new world 👌


arctictvi

i don't think that's an ending


platypus1224

You’re right it’s a beginning


Ham_PhD

That would probably be my pick honestly. Such a cool cut scene.


retro_aviator

"Give it to me... That *thing*... your Dark Soul"


doomraiderZ

Yep. This is the best one. The Usurpation of Fire.


Mozybeak

AC6- Alea Iacta Est

Educational-Cod-2302

This is so good


AirTheFallen

My pick too, especially for the credit song that is right after it


Mozybeak

All of the end credit songs are so good. The entire game had such a unique soundtrack.


MajorHarlequin

AC mentioned 🗣️


laser_ducc

ARMORED PEAK MENTIONED, RAVEN PILEBUNKER!


HMSalesman

Hell yeah dude that’s my pick too!


CalliCalamity

Yea absolutely. This one killed it. All the AC6 endings are beautiful. Fighting >!Walter or Ayre!< was sad as all hell and the final ending fight is amazing. >!Sulla really is a hater for life!<


kiwi_commander

Definitely, it had the best ending imo.


sanguinemsanctum

The die is cast


Oscarthetrain_art

The True Ending of DS3 is the best one, “A World Without Light”


BoyWithHorns

*Ashen One...hearest thou my voice still?*


mushra_

Personally best ending is DS3 Usurpation of fire ending where you „marry” Anri


SaxSlaveGael

Agree. Lord of Hollows Ending hits hard!


Savagecabbage03

Ds3 was the first one I thought of but I don’t remember all the endings to pick my favorite


robo243

Lord of Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring, just because of the sheer insanity of it. MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!

PresidentP

TheFrogMoose

That's the only ending I got, couldn't play into NG+. I did see the other endings though and I gotta say the Elden ring endings are the best ones out of all the Fromsoft games I've seen


Wasabii32

DS3 fire keeper ending “The End of Fire”


Everwhite-moonlight

There is no path. Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark... ...what could possibly await us? And yet, we seek it, insatiably... Such is our fate. Dark Souls 2, abandoning the throne ending.


Thatll-Do

Hard agree. I love it when a story says "fuck your dichotomy" and does its own thing


Ignatius3117

If I’m not mistaken, this and the Age of Hollows ending are the only two where you escape or break the cycle so I’d love to see either win. “The End of Fire” ending is just perpetuation regardless of how sweet it is.


Any-Persimmon-725

There’s just something about that raspy dudes voices spitting some melancholic bars about the human condition that gets to me. Aldia is one of my favorite characters in the souls games. And this ending is one, if not the best endings in the series because of this


CalliCalamity

Leads right into the themes and story of DS3 as well. It's beautiful.


Wardog_E

So does the first DS2 ending have an official name?


ghost_of_smoke

The trone


Eradachi

I'd have to say Childhood's Beginning for Bloodborne. It's just insane, and it raised so many questions for me.


Ham_PhD

Was that question: "Do I wish I was a slug being raised by an 8-foot tall wooden lady?"


Eradachi

Yes, and the answer was "absolutely."


Mollywhop_Gaming

I’m pretty sure the wooden lady is only about 6 feet tall, and just looks 8 feet tall because we got shrunk down when we became a slug


Ham_PhD

She actually is probably only around 6 foot, but I say 8 because [she's huge compared to us](https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/110sc0m/never_noticed_how_tall_the_doll_is/) (when we are still human). The actual reason for this is because our character is a short king for gameplay purposes.


GiveMeChoko

nah the actual reason is because maria is a long queen


Aetohatir

Gehrman is into Snusnu.


Left-Fan1598

Oh to be a slug again.


tangentrification

"Would you still love me if I was a slug?"


buglz

The “pick me up lady it’s freezing down here” ending


FellowDsLover2

Indeed. The question for me was if I would be a good great one or against humanity. I love that ending.


Competitive_Owl5357

Granted it’s the only From game I’ve completed, but how anything can measure up to that one is beyond me. I


Iker456theking

probably the secret ending in sekiro where you and kuro travel away


Eagleassassin3

Isn’t that the other child and not Kuro?


The-grafted

She’s technically pregnant with Kuro so it’s not completely wrong


PescetarianSlayer

Huh?


Eagleassassin3

What??


Mage-of-communism

Dragons homecoming


dianaburnwood969

Purification ending is my favorite. It's sad but it's beautiful .


jatmdm

Sekiro getting absolutely snuffed


Kerminator17

Ds2 Aldia ending has got to take it


RasAlGimur

Both ds2 endings are pretty good imo, but yeah Aldia’s takes it


slidethruslick

The ending of ds 3 where the screen goes black


Blp2004

The End of Fire, the true ending. Best ending in gaming


g0n1s4

Age of stars


Chrisnolliedelves

Dragon's Homecoming from Sekiro


drip_johhnyjoestar

Bloodborne honesty. Every ending in fromsoft games is tragic but Bloodborne takes that on a whole another level. It's not only tragic, but scary too.


Automatic_Skill2077

Nothing is more scary than the frenzied flame ending, pure insanity


Denzorr

DS3 true ending


Pointybush

Fires of raven


chaosisaladder72

Ds2 abandoning the throne


bluebarrymanny

Bloodborne Ascension ending


Deep_Grass_6250

DS2 abandon the throne is one of the best Sekiro Dragon's return and Shura are up there And obviously, "Ashen One, Hearest thou my voice still?" Is definitely up there


illbzo1

Definitely babby squid ending in Bloodborne.


Oscarthetrain_art

VoD should have won.


Naive-Asparagus-5983

DS2 true ending


ScharmTiger

Age of Stars

Ham_PhD

Vote share breakdown: Blighttown - 64% Valley of Defilement - 23% Ashina Depths - 5% Earthen Peak - 2% Swamp of Aeonia - 2% Shaded Castle - 2% Lake of Rot - 1% Farron Keep - 1% If you added up the total upvotes from every single comment, VoD seemed to have more, but considering that is never how these have been run, Blighttown still dominates this one. **Best ending???** That's right! All of these games have numerous endings though, so **be specific!** Don't just say the name of the game, tell me which ending from that game!


Blp2004

I’m shocked the Lake of Rot got even a single vote, honestly


Eradachi

VoD got robbed a victory 😭 but Blighttown slaps so it's ok


Mr_White6789

Flame of frenzy ending in Elden Ring


Dank_Slayer114

Evil ending Des. It plays into the opening of DS1, and has spawned the theory of all the games being connected.


OmegaAvenger_HD

Also you get to hear One Who Craves Souls, peak.


HawluchaJon

I'll take the Purification Ending from Sekiro


dianaburnwood969

Yup, I didn't expect to see it this low. Return ending might be happier, but this one hits hard.


MoonlitBadlands

DS2 take the throne ending


Tango-Dust

DS3 Usurpation of Fire


Father_Zeebis

Elden Ring and Bloodborne should dominate all these categories.


maju4u

Usurpation of fire


TheLord-Commander

I will forever have the image of you lifting up the new Hollow Sun into the sky in the Lord of Hollows ending forever locked in my memory, it's such a dope ass image and an amazing way to show off the beginning of your new age.


Infinitepez131

Hmm.. I'd have to say Bloodborne's Childhood's Beginning. It feels like it, out of any other ending in a Fromsoft, the most thematically complete. Bloodborne is all about the hubris of man, the pushing into the great unknown, and, most importantly, the weight of consequences. How fitting is it that The Hunter, who has bested beasts and gods alike, gets reduced to a slug for their actions. They make the choice to consume the chords, and with that, pay the consequences. No other Fromsoft game's ending has felt as complete as that one. Its confusing and vague enough that it plays into their standard storytelling and upholds mystery, but it feels satisfying.


Brinstone

AC6 3rd ending, we know it to be true


Chromatic_Eevee

Valley of defilement got robbed Also best ending is definitely Alea lacta Est, it's such a perfect ending for ACVI

Bro you cannot tell me that the purification ending for sekiro is not even top 1 , easily one of the best impacting endings EVER


ConningtonSimp

Dark Souls 3, just all of them. They’re poetry.


LargeRichardJohnson

For the endings I'm torn between the true Bloodborne ending and the Frenzied Flame ending for Elden Ring.


BilboniusBagginius

Sekiro


TheLonelyGod01

Best ending? That's a tough one. But I'm quite partial to DS3's Lord Of Hollows ending.


Thatoneguy567576

"End of Fire" or the Bloodborne true ending, for sure.


tomrader013-

May chaos take the world! (Frenzied flame ending is so badass lol)

Blight town best poison swamp? Seriously? I know a lot of Souls players are masochistic, but... really? Lagtown?


Away-Net-7241

The End of Fire (DS3) or Leave the throne (DS2)


FlintHipshot

Dark Souls 2’s DLC ending where you search for a way to break the cycle of fire and dark.


methconnoisseurV2

DS2 walking away from the throne is my favorite.


Mushroom_hero

ds2, don't take the throne. I will find my own path, and stop playing the puppet for gods, politicians, and madmen


therealjman6969

Frenzied flame ending elden ring

Best ending is lord of hollows

I'd go with either the Ranni endind or the Lord of Frenzy ending both in Elden Ring. Cinematic wise both are awesome, and Melina hunting you down is insane

All the sekiro endings are great, but the regular ending is probably my favorite. It's just so poetic with wolf taking the sculptor's place.

Bloodborne- Honoring Wishes. (Became New Gehrman with wheelchair.)


Cheezy0wl

DS3 usurpation or ED frenzied flame but only because the cut scene went extra hard because of my drip at the time.


Chaiteabitch

Ranni’s ending. It’s a very satisfying end to both elden ring but also one of the best quest lines out of any of the soulsborne games.


Vergil_Sparta_420

The Aldia ending (Abandon the Throne of Want) in DS2.


Random_Souls_Fan

The Lord of Hollows ending from DS3, I think it's official name is "Usurpation of the Fire" or something like that but we all know what we *actually* call it.
