* ''Crown of the Ivory King'' concludes the epic adventure that is the ''Lost Crowns Trilogy'' by adding three pieces that simply feel foreign and supernatural to Drangleic:
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf5Ymjn3z4w Aava, the King's Pet]]". Solemn and filled with depressing vocals and melancholic violin bouts, this track represents the ice tiger's duty-bound nature as Alsanna's protector, despite knowing that its master, the Ivory King, is gone.

**
"[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckGyYWowMgc Elana, Squalid Queen]]", Queen]]". A degenerate and frantic theme that draws parallels to Nashandra's BossRemix, indicating that this Child of Dark is someone who is ''far'' more powerful than the FinalBoss we're presented with in the vanilla game. Dissonant as it is, you can make out infrequent soothing lullabies amidst the rest of the song, which can only be described as savage.
**
"[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAVCkVclNR4 Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon]]" Dragon]]", incorporating en entire orchestral suite that embodies the grandeur of Shulva's past glory and the creature that the citizen once worshipped.

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCjlcO3fL3w The Ancient Dragon]]", otherwise known as OhCrap in musical form. Jumped in scare after [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unwittingly provoking the godly Ancient Dragon into a fight]]? We don't blame you.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9wEYvgQjSk Darklurker]]", a dissonant EtherealChoir which fits with the terrifyingly powerful HumanoidAbomination you find in the depths of the Dark Chasm of Old.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n4EavKs1K4 Throne Defender, Throne Watcher]]".
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHjdSM3nHo Nashandra]]"; while the 25 first seconds are a gentle piano piece referencing the unused {{Leitmotif}} "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjaYBPlHiu8 Queen of Drangleic]]", it quickly plunges into a sinister chorus worthy of a nightmarish FinalBoss.
* Once again, the ending credits reward you with a soothing melody in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oDmA17o5ys Longing]]".

''Videogame/DarkSouls'' 's soundtrack, composed by MotoiSakuraba (who also composed the score for ''Videogame/DemonsSouls'', is home to a plethora of awe-inspiring, often sinister, boss themes, despite the obvious lack of music for most of your trip throughout the world, something which is repeated to great effect in [[Videogame/DarkSoulsII the sequel]].

''[[AC:Videogame/DarkSouls]]''
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEBm3IUYvbU Prologue]]", which is obviously used in the game's opening sequence, introducing you to Lordran's backstory and an epic ActionPrologue pitting Gwyn and the other Lord Soul bearers against the Everlasting Dragons.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Xv9Dbk3e4 Taurus Demon]]", which plays on your encounter with the game's very first boss, [[WarmUpBoss the Asylum Demon]], the Undead Burg's titular Taurus Demon and the Firesage Demon. Makes you want to run away for dear life.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2llS87avh2w Firelink Shrine]]", which is about the ''only'' place that you can consider as a safe ground in [[CrapsackWorld Lordran]], aggro-ing [=NPC=]s notwithstanding.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9hNS7JTbMQ Bell Gargoyle]]", making for a climatic fight against giant, fire-breathing gargoyles atop a church's roof. It also gets remastered in ''Dark Souls II'' as part of the Bellfry Gargoyle BonusBoss fight.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R61VWtpP1c Centipede Demon]]", which goes in hand with the dread that will build up on players as they die repeatedly against [[ThatOneBoss/DarkSouls the Capra Demon and Centipede Demon]].
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZyo2gcHOVc Gaping Dragon]]"; fighting a mutant dragon with [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily nightmarish]] [[BodyHorror features]] has never sounded more epic than when this track plays.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpZgFykJ8oY Chaos Witch Quelaag]]".
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM41wzJyviU Daughters of Chaos]]", a fragile lullaby that whispers to your ears as you discover Quelaag's sister.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC1N-1SMAXQ Iron Golem]]", featured in the climatic battle atop Sen's Fortress against the boss of the same name, or the Stray Demon upon your return to the Northern Undead Asylum.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX51T-EipOo Ornstein and Smough]]", which incorporates [[OrcheastralBombing an entire orchestra]] and makes an EarlyBirdCameo as a RegionalRiff when you finally arrive at Anor Londo. If anything, it's what makes this boss fight [[AwesomeBosses/DarkSouls so damn fun]], even if you die repeatedly to [[ThatOneBoss/DarkSouls these bastards]].
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-cVcJKBRiY Gwynevere, Princess of Sunlight]]", an epic orchestral piece that captures the radiance of said character's status as the BigGood. [[DecoyLeader Of course, it's a lie]].
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZB4CzX8BbU "Dark Sun Gwyndolin]]", an eerie track which features OneWomanWail after another, reflecting [[MasterOfIllusion Gwyndolin]]'s enigmatic presence. It is also shared by the Moonlight Butterfly's boss fight."
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enkEiD8PC5o The Ancient Dragon]]", a stern, foreboding EtherealChoir which plays as soon as you set foot in the Ash Lake, perhaps symbolizing the Everlasting Dragon's sorrow in their defeat aeons ago.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lqk8QIdRF4 Ceaseless Discharge]]", which plays as soon as you provoke this fiery abomination, unleashing the might of a volcano in the process.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJuO6RYCcpw Great Grey Wolf Sif]]", a tragic piece that resonates within every ''Dark Souls'' fan, never forgetting [[PlayerPunch the pain that hurt them]] while battling this righteous NobleWolf who protected the grave of his late master Artorias.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2-1hhIgZUw Crossbreed Priscilla]]", a mysterious track that blends in with [[HalfHumanHybrid Priscilla]]'s {{Mystical Waif}}-ish qualities.
* While leaning towards the creepy side of things, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_35zPoY38g Pinwheel]]" perfectly conveys the distress of the necromancer Pinwheel, whom the fandom gave a very tragic background.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X39HV_s0RdI Gravelord Nito]]", a haunting piece which features an equally foreboding chorus and and eerie wail that imitates the wind.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRuvdP3qjUM Seath the Scaleless]]", a schizophrenic track which reflects the blind dragon's [[SanitySlippage insane]] [[MadScientist state]].
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70g3exQxR28 Bed of Chaos]]".
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xpreRWuUWo Four Kings]]", a nerve-wrecking theme which features a deep male chorus, oppressive brass and panic-inducing violins. It's one of the most nightmarish pieces in the entire soundtrack, which translates into an equally scary boss fight against [[NightmareFuel/DarkSouls what are essentially corrupt spectres from beyond]].
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLBybw-IJ5U Gwyn, Lord of Cinder]]", a melancholic piano piece that initially doesn't sound fitting for a FinalBoss, but makes sense once you learn about [[DefiantToTheEnd what motivates him still]] [[AndIMustScream despite his age-long suffering]].
* ''[[DownloadableContent Artorias of the Abyss]]'' adds several more boss fights ([[AwesomeBosses/DarkSouls and they're awesome]]), all with their unique themes.
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6y0qcxLwg Sanctuary Guardian]]", which is the first piece you'll here upon accessing the DownloadableContent. Want to hear the other tracks? [[BeefGate Beat this boss first]]!
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbTI_Bzy29I Knight Artorias]]", a somber piece alluding to the [[FallenHero fallen]] [[TheCorruption state]] you meet the titular knight in.
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CscZ9feUW3s Manus, Father of the Abyss]]", a chaotic track consisting of oppressive drum beats and chorus, well in tune with his [[AxCrazy savage nature]] and [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian parallels]].
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UXX-TL1bxc Black Dragon Kalameet]]", where the chorus pulls out all the stops and perfectly conveys this boss' nature as TheDreaded.
* Last, but not least, is the "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpI-KeK-PQg Nameless Song]]", a soothing OneWomanWail which congratulates you upon finishing the game.

%%Let's face it; the ENTIRE SOUNDTRACK is just that awesome.

''[[AC:Trailers and fanworks]]''

* ''Dark Souls'''s marketing campaign featured a few noteworthy songs which quickly grew with the fandom.
** ''The Silent Comedy's'' song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93LFz_j5fQA Bartholomew]] rather fits the theme of the game.
