Summary

A Spanish TV channel has depicted the Papal conclave using Dark Souls 3.
The Pontiff Sulyvahn boss fight was used as it's set in a cathedral.
The player was even dressed in Papal vestments.

The Papal conclave has convened after the sad demise of Pope Francis last month. Plumes of blac💟k smoke have poured out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel a couple of times to denote that there hasn't yet been a consensus on choosing the next ෴Pope. While the movie Conclave gives us some idea of what goes on during this process, a Spanish television channel has presented the process in a way gamers will understand.

Spanish television channel has resorted to a rather unique manner to depict what goes on during the conclave by using a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls 3 boss fight. FromSoftware fans might have already guessed that the boss in question is Pཧontiff Sulyvahn, as the fight takes place in the Ir🃏ithyll Cathedral.

So That's What Goes On During The Conclave

During a segment on the election process, the presenter talked about how predicting who the next Pope has almost become a game. "The prediction markets are going viral these days in Italy. If we were to imagine a conclave with a videogame aesthetic, it could be this battle for t👍he throne of St Peter," said the presenter, via Google Translate (thanks ).

While there are a lot of ways to represent the Conclave in video games – The Sims 4, perhaps – yo𝄹u wouldn't think Dark Souls 3 would be the one they'd choose. The outfit and arena is on point though.

The segment also showcased a clip of Fantapapa – loosely translating to Fantasy Pope – a fantasy sports game where you get to p🧜redict who the next Pope will be.

This isn't a case of an ignorant news channel unknowingly using game footage. The Pontiff Sulyvahn boss fight was specifically chosen because of its Cathedral-like arena. What's more? We know that someone from the news channel deliberately recorded this footage, as the player is dressed in vestments that look rather pa𒉰pal.

They even showed a sick move where they threw a fireball at Sulyvahn in mid-air. I'd personally 🐓vote for the cardinal who can do that. I suppose the fireball also explains all the smoke.
