This game is also the first time we get to see the Sunlight Altar unbroken: It's a statue of the Nameless King, and can be seen in the Ancient Wyvern's boss chamber.

With him being the last of the true gods, this battle is The Last Dance for the deities of Dark Souls as a whole, and as he wrecks your face for perhaps the hundredth time, you'll begin to understand why guys like him reigned undisputed until the fire began to die. This is a full-on battle against a real, living god, one at the height of his power, and who is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with you. Not a Hollowed god, not a god of death who has been drained of power for untold ages, and not a cowardly god who spends the entire battle fleeing from you. There's a good reason for this: You're fighting the literal God Of War of the Souls series.

The Nameless King is one of the most visually stunning battles in the games, in addition to being an awesome fight in its own right.

Can we all take a moment and give it up for FromSoftware? These guys managed to put out five games in a row that have been met with near universal acclaim, put themselves on the board as one of the most beloved game devs of the modern console generations thanks to their great support and community involvement, and have revolutionized the Action RPG to the point that it has basically spawned the 'Souls-like' subgenre.
