This video was an excuse to give myself depression again from going through the saddest fights and lore inside of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, and finally Elden Ring. While sadness is subjective, unlike my coolest bosses list I didn't struggle much with my picks for this one. And don't worry we are going back to fun lists right after this heavy one I just have to talk about the sad stuff in the series every now and then even though I don't have a good dreamy voice for it.
Aside from the item descriptions I showed in the video almost all of the info was from a combination of reputable souls resources I'll put right here along with whatever could be held in my tiny brain. The wiki's will all direct to Dark Souls 1 but they have different domains for each game.

Also check out these videos of all the Solaire/Blaidd/Vendrick Dialogue! Was a huge help for showing all the interactions between you and them inside of the video and it hits a lot harder after hearing all the dialogue shared between you both.
