If you’ve playedDark Souls, there’s a solid chance Firelink Shrine is burned into your memories. It’s enchanting, a singular hub that offers respite for weary adventurers in an otherwise hostile world.
With the recent release ofDark Souls Remastered,there’s never been a better time to revisit Firelink Shrine. It looks great with a fresh coat of current-gen paint. Its cozy nooks andkooky inhabitantsgo a long way towards makingDark Soulssuch a magical game. But if you’re eager to see the iconic setting from another perspective, Reddit user MythicMarty’s spin on Firelink is well worth a look.
MythicMarty remade Firelink Shrine inLego Worlds. No brick is left unturned. It’s damn near perfect.
MythicMarty’s video is both a testament toLego Worldsopen-ended building tools and Firelink’s instantly recognizable layout. Everything’s there: the ruined arches, those annoying skeletons in the graveyard, and even item pick-ups. Doubly impressive is the fact that MythicMarty was able to translateDark Souls’combat mechanics so accurately. The spear attacks and rolling animations match up pretty well, all things considered.
According to a Reddit post, MythicMarty built the Lego version of Firelink Shrine in a month. The accompanying video footage — including HUD elements and NPC voice lines added using Adobe After Effects — took three days to compile. And the rest, it seems, is destined to be viral history. I hope we’ll have a chance to see the Chosen Undead Minifigure make it to Anor Londo some day.
