About this sound

✦ AI

Praise the Sun sound effect from Dark Souls, based on Solaire's famous gesture and line, used in SFM memes and gaming edits for triumphant or funny victories.

This clip captures the joyful declaration associated with Solaire of Astora in Dark Souls, recreated in Source Filmmaker style. A character raises both arms toward the sky in the classic V shape while delivering the line with earnest, almost religious enthusiasm. The delivery is sincere rather than shouted, which makes the moment feel both heroic and slightly absurd. That contrast is why it lands so well in edits, turning a small win, a lucky save, or an unexpected success into something that feels epic, wholesome, and instantly recognisable to gamers.

Praise the Sun originates from Dark Souls, released in 2011 by FromSoftware, where Knight Solaire of Astora performs the gesture with arms raised to the sun as a symbol of jolly cooperation. Players adopted the pose in multiplayer, screenshots, and fan animations, including many made in Source Filmmaker. The phrase spread across forums and video edits as a sincere celebration and an ironic reaction to good luck. It remains a staple gaming reference because the gesture is visually clear even without context and the line is instantly linked to Solaire.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the line right as your character strikes the pose or the win screen appears, and let the full eight seconds breathe without music underneath. Pair it with a sunrise cut or co-op summon, and avoid trimming the arm raise.

  • Use it when a teammate finally joins your co-op session.
