10 Recent Video Game Villain Deaths That Made Us Cry

Now, it doesn't take deep lore or profound characterization to make most people not feel like a winner for murdering a dog. It's pretty much a universally agreed upon d*ck move, regardless of circumstances or context.

But that didn't stop Dark Souls from putting some deep ass lore in there anyway just to twist the knife.

But as you learn when you dive into the flavor text and the context clues hidden throughout the fight itself, it gets even sadder, which is a feat considering this fight already has the poor pup start limping when you wittle down its health far enough.

Turns out that the grave belongs to Sif's now dead master Artorias and it's protecting the grave from you because it believes you to be here to defile it. And now you gotta put down Ole Yeller.
