Solaire of Astora Amiibo

Solaire is the recurring NPC across the original Dark Souls (2011), a Knight of Sunlight who befriends the player early in the game and reappears across the rest of the campaign with cheerful 'Praise the Sun!' dialogue and the two-handed jubilant-victory pose. Most Dark Souls fans have a personal Solaire-ending memory because the character's storyline can end in multiple tragic configurations depending on player choices. His 'Praise the Sun' gesture became the franchise's most-imitated player-emote. The amiibo released October 19, 2018 alongside Dark Souls Remastered's Switch port.

Tap him on Dark Souls Remastered to unlock the Praise the Sun gesture as a free starting-emote (rather than requiring the player to find it in-game). One of the most meaningful single-figure-tied gameplay unlocks for an indie-tier figure-line entry.

He pairs with the broader figure-line third-party cluster: a shelf-individual in the same category as the Loot Goblin and Pragmata Diana. Most Dark Souls fans display Solaire prominently because the character's 'jolly cooperator' energy is the franchise's quiet warmth. Praise the Sun.
