You've heard of Catholic guilt, but may I present the Catholic hilt

Absolute cinema 🙏🏻

As the 2025 papal conclave goes on in the Sistine Chapel following the death of Pope Francis on April 21, a news channel in Spain has used Dark Souls 3 footage to illustrate what could be going on.

Spanish TV channel Cuatro aired a segment about the ongoing conclave, which was spotted by PC Gamer. While we can’t get cameras into the chapel for the proceedings, they used footage from Dark Souls 3’s Pontiff Sulyvahn boss fight with the player donning the Pope-like Archdeacon armor. While we can’t confirm that papal candidates are in there throwing fireballs at each other, we can’t deconfirm it either, can we? (Think about it, all the smoke…) Plus Pope Benedict’s ‘Pope Emeritus’ title totally sounds like an RPG boss fight.
