Summary
-
A Spanish TV channel has portrayed the papal conclave with Dark Souls 3.
-
Pontiff Sulyvahn Boss Fight was used when it is located in a cathedral.
-
The player was even dressed in papal clothes.
The papal conclave has been convened after the sad decline by Pope Francis last month. Plumes of Black Smoke has poured out of the chimney in the Sixtin chapel a couple of times to mean that there has not yet been a consensus to choose the next pope. While the film Conclave gives us an idea of what is happening during this process, a Spanish TV channel has presented the process in a way that players will understand.

May I even say this?
The Spanish TV channel Cuatro has used a rather unique way to portray what is happening under the conclave by using a Dark Souls 3 Boss fight. FROMSoftware -fans may have already guessed that the manager in question is Pontiff Sulyvahn, as the fight takes place in the Irithyll Cathedral.
So that's what happens under the conclave
During a segment in the electoral process, the presenter talked about how predict who the next pope has almost become a game. “The prediction markets go viral today in Italy. If we were to imagine a conclave with a video game aesthetic, it may be this struggle for the throne of St. Peter,” said the presenter via Google Translate (Thanks PC Gamer).
There are many ways to represent the conclave in video games – Sims 4, maybe – would you not think that Dark Souls 3 would be the one they would choose. However, the suit and the arena are in place.
The segment also showed a clip of Fantapapa – loosely translated into Fantasy Pope – a fantasy sports game where you can predict who the next pope will be.
This is not a case of an ignorant news channel unconsciously to use feature films. Pontiff Sulyvahn Boss Fight was chosen specifically because of its cathedral -like arena. What's more? We know that someone from News Channel deliberately recorded these pictures, as the player is dressed in clothes that look pretty papal.
They even showed a sick move where they threw a fireball at Sulyvahn in the air. I would personally vote for Cardinal who can do it. I guess the fireball also explains all the smoke.
