10 Video Game Protagonists So Powerful They Became Gods

Considering how much your character in Dark Souls gets knocked around by every boss in the game, you wouldn't really think of them as a worthy godhood candidate. There are dozens of other better-suited people for the job.

But maybe that perseverance in the face of stronger foes is exactly why your Ashen One in Dark Souls 3 deserves to ascend to the status of a god. Maybe even if it means destroying the entire world as you know it.

Eh, they had a good run!

In order to give the Ashen One their due, you need to reach the secret third ending of the game. To do this, you need to corrupt the Fire Keeper and convince her that instead of restoring the world's flame like you're supposed to, perhaps stealing the flame and using it for yourself would be a much better idea.

After you've completed all the necessary steps and defeated the Soul of Cinder, an alternate final cutscene will play, showing your character absorbing the flame, finally ending the maddening cycle of the universe, and bringing in a new Age of Man with you as its godlike creator and ruler.

Well, aren't you a crafty little thief?
