In Dark Souls, what phrase is associated with Solaire of Astora’s famous sun gesture?

In Dark Souls, Solaire of Astora’s famous sun gesture is associated with the phrase “Praise the Sun.”

Solaire is an optimistic warrior encountered by the player during the journey through Lordran. He belongs to the Warriors of Sunlight covenant and frequently talks about searching for his own “sun.” His distinctive raised-arms gesture became one of Dark Souls’ most recognizable visual symbols.

The phrase is closely linked to the gesture, but it is not the formal name of the gesture itself. The gesture’s in-game name is “Praise the Sun,” which players can learn from Solaire after meeting him. This distinction matters because Solaire also uses other memorable expressions, including his comments about cooperation and jolly cooperation.

The sun imagery reflects recurring themes in Dark Souls, especially hope, devotion, and the fading Age of Fire. Solaire’s cheerful attitude contrasts with the bleak world around him, helping make him one of the series’ best-known characters.
