Still one of the best.
DeS was the earliest game but most complete. It doesn't have a Lost Izalith/Profaned Capital.

>Profaned Capital
Just because its short doesn't mean its bad. And it certainly doesn't mean its as bad as Lost Izalith.

Atmosphere is a meme. Dark environments is all it takes for faggots to spout "muh atmuhsphere" Latria has a pitch black skybox and it's hailed as the most atmospheric level ever made.

The problem is mainly that people who use atmosphere in their arguments always fail to realise that atmosphere doesn't neccesarily mean horror or dark/scary
Fable 2 as an example, that game had a very unique british/fairy tale atmosphere that was handled delightfully, but the somewhat haunting parts were emphasised even more so, the sacrifice, the lost to hobs son part, but these being notable doesn't mean the rest of the game lacks atmosphere, or does it bad. As an example, the 10 years segment in isolation in the tower isn't horror based, rather it's incredibly oppressive, and almost somewhat sad, but the atmosphere is handled great as you progress with the commandant and the only friend you gain losing his mind.
Dark Souls in particular has one of the most atmospherically satisfying levels, if not the most striking, ash lake, the huge monolithic trees, the ominous and stoic chanting, the long thin beach with minimal to distract, other than the hydra and clams, it's both very unique and strange compared to the rest of the game.
It's just disappointing that I never see us of non-horror atmosphere ever bought up in these discussions.
The OP rightfully noted that the deacons boss fight, the congregation of holy church members in the large open grave area, the large circling area design, the huge centerpiece, the church organ music playing, developing as the archdeacon comes down and summons the black cloud, is handled masterfully, but it won't go discussed because it's not directly a horror type use of atmosphere.
Bloodborne uses a more welcoming and restful atmospheric effect in the hunters dream which is fantastically done, the almost sleep inducing slow violins aren't boring, but genuinely much more passive than the rest of the games horror soaked theme, and the atmospheric contrast is fantastic, and yet I rarely if ever see it bought up in comparison to tower of latria's relatively simple use of atmospheric value, or the rest of bloodborne.

I wish there was a version of the OST that kept the Archdeacon's howling. Shit's great

Very sad boss fight overall, it was fantastic how he becomes like a dragon in his rage
