* Gwyn is a bit of an AntiClimaxBoss. While he hits like a freight train and moves fast, its nothing you haven't dealt with by that point, and far more dangerous and unfair bosses have been pounding you the rest of the way through the game thus far. But this makes sense, as [[spoiler: the Lord Soul that gave him all his power has been bequeathed to Seath the Scaleless and the Four Kings]]. What's left is a crazed old man with a big sword and fire/lightning magic, but little else. If you'd faced Gwyn at his prime....

* Frampt sending you to kill Gravelord Nito, the Witch of Izilaith, the Four Kings, and Seath the Scaleless looks, at first glance, like a pretty straightforward task of recovering the Lord Souls. However, if you look a bit closer, one can note that taking out these entities isn't ''just'' a matter of recovering their Lord Souls. The Four Kings and the Abyss are a serious threat to Anor Londo. The Witch of Izilaith is [[spoiler: spawning endless hordes of powerful demons as the Bed of Chaos]]. Seath the Scaleless is completely batshit crazy and conducting horrible experiments right outside the main palace of the gods, and his agents are roaming around the country grabbing victims wherever they can. And while Gravelord Nito is relatively passive, necromancers by the bucketload are camping in the Catacombs and raising their own brands of undead. Remember that Frampt and Gwyndolin are trying to maintain their power in Lordran and the power of the gods in the rest of the world by Linking the Fire, and in order to reestablish that power and rebuild Lordran, they've got to get rid of all these beings who are causing trouble in their backyard. So along comes a badass Chosen Undead who proves his/her willingness to go this far on his/her quest - [[UnwittingPawn an ideal weapon to dispose of these troublemakers....]]
